Chapter 178: The Orcas Leave
“What are you squatting here for?”
Wang Hongfei curiously squatted down and looked from Yun Jiao’s angle.
He discovered something moving in the tide pool beneath the reef.
Wang Hongfei: !!!
“What is it, what is it, let me see, let me see.”
Wang Hongfei, who was experiencing tide pooling for the first time, was so excited.
He practically lay down on the sand, constantly poking around with the fire tongs.
After a lot of effort, it was finally brought out.
“It’s an octopus, a big one.”
It was a large octopus with a particularly big head and a reddish color.
The creature’s tentacles clung to the reef, and Wang Hongfei couldn’t pull it out after tugging for a long time.
It was only with Yun Jiao’s help that it was finally pulled out.
Octopuses are truly a bit ugly, with their large heads, eight legs, and soft bodies.
At this moment, it was thrown onto the ground, flailing its arms and legs at them, while trying to escape.
This thing is quite intelligent.
“Woof woof woof…”
The two puppies were clearly a little scared by the strange-looking octopus and barked at it.
Yun Jiao quickly put it into a bucket.
However, the bucket probably couldn’t hold it; this guy was a top-notch escape artist.
As soon as they weren’t looking for a moment, its tentacles had already stretched out of the bucket.
Yun Jiao put it back in: “I’m going to find my mom.”
Let Mom sell this thing first.
After giving the octopus to her mom, Yun Jiao continued to stroll around with her small bucket, tide pooling.
Of course, her main purpose was to play.
Wang Hongfei, on the other hand, was seriously tide pooling and looking for things, but he only found cheap, worthless items.
“Aiyo, Jiaojiao, isn’t that your cat?”
The cat leader returned from a stroll in the nearshore waters, carrying a big fish in its mouth as it walked towards Yun Jiao.
“It’s a rockfish.”
The cat leader is getting more and more amazing.
“No, your cat can swim too?”
Its fur clearly showed it had just come out of the water.
Not only can it swim, but it also caught such a big fish from the sea.
This is too awesome.
People from the village who were tide pooling also looked at the tabby cat, and then spoke to Shen Yunlian and Wang Mei with envious tones.
“It’s really worth raising this cat of yours; it can even help with tide pooling.”
“We only just discovered that, and it’s not the first time. When will your tabby cat have kittens?”
Shen Yunlian smiled with her eyes curved: “It’s all good luck. This cat is male, where would he have kittens?”
“Aiyo, even if it’s a male, it can still mate. We have a female cat at home that’s so good-looking…”
Good heavens, in this day and age, not only are people being set up, but even cats are being considered.
However, the cat leader is indeed excellent. Ever since they got him, their home has not had any mice, and he can also hunt and bring back prey from outside from time to time.
Yun Jiao petted the cat leader’s head and put the rockfish, weighing about two catties, into the bucket.
Suddenly, Yun Jiao heard the sound of orcas.
She immediately called Wang Hongfei and ran towards their secret base.
That was also where Yun Xiaowu found Yun Jiao.
It was secluded, with few people, and a bit dangerous.
Because the waves there were quite large and there were many reefs, adults didn’t dare to let children go there alone.
Wang Hongfei still didn’t know what was going on and vaguely followed Yun Jiao.
Then he saw those large orcas with their mouths so wide they could fit an egg, and was stunned for a long time.
It wasn’t until he saw Yun Jiao standing on a reef and throwing a basketball towards the orca pod.
‘Human, come down and play.’
The orcas invited enthusiastically.
“You guys play by yourselves. It’s cold now, and my dad and mom won’t let me go to the sea to play.”
If she went home soaked now, she would definitely be lectured.
“Crying, crying, crying～～”
‘Human, here’s prey for you.’
‘Ball, my ball! Who *&￥#@% snatched my ball!’
The orca pod brought Yun Jiao random gifts.
A manta ray, two large yellow croakers, hmm? Is this coral?
Yun Jiao’s little face remained calm as she threw the fish into the bucket and then played with the coral-like object in her hand.
It was still a very beautiful red coral.
It was just small, like a deer’s antler, only about the size of an adult’s palm.
“Pfft…”
Yun Jiao was looking at the coral stone when another thing was thrown over.
Upon closer inspection: “Turtle Xiao Er?”
Indeed, it was the dazed Turtle Xiao Er who was thrown over this time.
The orcas’ voices came: ‘Human, help you, saved.’
‘Next time, play together.’
‘Sing, sing, human sing, sounds good.’
Putting the coral stone into her small bag, Yun Jiao picked up Turtle Xiao Er, listening to the messy explanations from the orcas in her mind, and finally understood.
This unlucky, not-yet-grown Hawksbill Turtle was almost bitten by a shark. Luckily, the orcas passed by. They probably realized this little turtle had played with Yun Jiao before, so they rescued it along the way.
Yun Jiao sat on the reef with Turtle Xiao Er in her arms and thanked the orcas.
“Singing? Okay.”
She began to sing softly in her tender yet mysterious and ethereal voice.
The orcas, who were playing with the basketball, all swung their tails and gathered around her, staring at her longingly, their tails slapping the sea surface, seeming very happy.
The two puppies she had placed on the reef were now lying quietly beside her. Not far away, the tabby cat was also lying there, squinting its eyes and twitching its ears, clearly listening to the song intently.
Wang Hongfei had been stunned since the orcas started giving gifts.
Now, watching the orcas gather around Yun Jiao to listen to her sing, he took a deep breath.
He suddenly understood why that kid Chen Bei wanted to buy a camera.
Such an interesting and magical scene, if not photographed and recorded, would only be remembered in memories later, which would be a great regret.
He couldn’t help but look at Yun Jiao.
It was truly magical.
Such a singing voice calmed his somewhat anxious heart and brought him an inexplicable sense of peace.
Wang Hongfei didn’t disturb them and found a reef nearby to sit down and quietly listen to the singing.
He was full of drive for this business trip to the north, but after all, it was his first attempt.
Having borrowed so much money, it was only natural for him to feel uneasy and anxious.
However, Wang Hongfei didn’t show it.
Now, he felt inexplicably at ease.
Even if it failed, he could just find a way to earn money again.
He was still young.
Yun Jiao sang three songs for the orcas and then stopped.
The orcas, content, took the basketball and continued to play, promising to bring her gifts next time.
As the orcas left for the farther sea area to play basketball, Yun Jiao suddenly noticed a different color flash by.
By the time she looked closely, the object had already dived into the sea and disappeared.
She didn’t get a clear look at what it was, but it definitely wasn’t an orca.
She didn’t pay much attention and carried Turtle Xiao Er down from the reef.
The two puppies had short legs, so Yun Jiao had to help them up, and they couldn’t get down.
It was Wang Hongfei who scooped up the two little fat dogs, who were anxiously yelping, and brought them down.
