Chapter 247: The Request
It was Deputy Commander Lin who called out to Yun Jiao.
Although he was also cleaning barnacles, he was observing Yun Jiao.
Then he was surprised to discover that she could actually command this humpback whale.
Now that the barnacles were almost cleared, Deputy Commander Lin came to find Yun Jiao.
She explained the purpose of these foreigners’ visit to their country.
“I see they really like this humpback whale, so I thought, could you have the humpback whale take them for a spin? If it works, great, if not, don’t force it. It’s not like you’ll be doing this for free. If you can reach an agreement with them and resolve some issues with our shipbuilding technology, we’ll give you a bonus.”
Even though she was just a child around four years old, Deputy Commander Lin did not deceive her because of her age.
It could be seen from the fact that she could command this humpback whale that this child was extraordinary.
“Let me ask.”
Well, if she could help, then she would help. It was a casual matter anyway, and it wouldn’t be her who got tired.
Yun Jiao sat on the humpback whale’s head and asked if it could take people around twice.
The humpback whale, in a very good mood, agreed, as these people had also helped clear the barnacles.
“Yes, go and tell them.”
Deputy Commander Lin was immediately delighted. After sincerely thanking Yun Jiao, he went to find Andre and the other foreigners.
Naturally, he wouldn’t let Andre ride for free like that.
Their main goal was still Andre’s shipbuilding technology.
The country now, it could be said, was seizing every opportunity to learn. It would be best if Andre and the others could teach them more technology.
Andre became excited and thrilled upon hearing that they could ride the humpback whale for a tour.
The translator was also a good negotiator and was from the troops.
After his communication, Andre and the others agreed to start working after returning and that people could spectate.
Deputy Commander Lin and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief, the big stone in their hearts having been half removed.
The other half would have to wait until they actually taught them.
Then, after Yun Jiao nodded, the foreigners excitedly climbed onto the humpback whale’s back.
The humpback whale was large; even if everyone in the sea sat on it, it would be fine.
With a spurt of water, amidst the cheers of Andre and the others, the humpback whale began to wag its tail under Yun Jiao’s command.
“It’s moving, it’s moving…”
“This is my first time sitting on the back of such a large humpback whale. It’s so magical, so exciting! Quickly have someone take photos for me, I want to record this moment.”
Yun Jiao, sitting cross-legged in front, picked at her ear. These people were really noisy.
And their voices were loud.
“Hey, kid, how did you do that?”
Seeing Yun Jiao command the humpback whale, Andre couldn’t help but curiously approach Yun Jiao to talk to her.
Yun Jiao looked at him with her young and beautiful face: “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Andre also didn’t understand her words and still had to rely on the translator.
However, there was only one translator here, and sometimes he was simply too busy.
Andre looked annoyed: “Damn it, it’s so uncomfortable not being able to talk to you directly. You’re an amazing, magical child.”
“I don’t know if I can learn the language of your Hua Country in a month. I’ve decided, I will study the language of Hua Country after I go back.”
“Hey, translator, come quickly and tell this child that I want to be friends with her. When I learn your country’s language, I’m going to come find her.”
The translator looked surprised.
It should be known that many foreigners nowadays disdained learning their country’s language, and learning another language required considerable effort and time. They were proud and did not want to waste time learning the language of a country that currently seemed quite backward.
However, Andre wanted to learn their language in order to become friends with Yun Jiao and talk to her.
This was simply unbelievable.
The translator’s psychological resilience was quite strong. After a brief pause, he smiled and said.
“Of course, Mr. Andre, I will convey your request to her.”
So the translator approached Yun Jiao and relayed Andre’s words to her.
Yun Jiao heard this and replied: “Then come find me after he learns it.”
She didn’t take this matter to heart at all.
She played with Andre and the others for quite a while, during which they encountered several schools of fish.
Yun Jiao glanced at the sky; she should be going home. Impatient to continue playing with them, she notified Deputy Commander Lin.
“I’m going home.”
Deputy Commander Lin enthusiastically invited: “Young Comrade Yun, why don’t you come back on our ship?”
Yun Jiao: “No, I have this.”
She patted the humpback whale.
Even if the humpback whale couldn’t go too close to the shore, she could still swim back herself.
The translator was telling Andre and the others about returning, and they were still lingering with interest.
Such exciting things were not common.
Hearing that Yun Jiao was going to ride the humpback whale back, they became excited again.
“Dear Yun, we want to go back with you!”
Yun Jiao thought, taking one person or taking those people was all the same.
Alright.
On the way back, they encountered a small school of fish, which the humpback whale liked to eat, so it performed a sprint hunting for them.
Its huge mouth was like a net, catching almost the entire small school of fish.
“Wow! Amazing!”
“I can hardly believe my eyes. Such a huge mouth, it could swallow all of us in one bite!”
The humpback whale ate until it was half full, filtered out the seawater, and continued to swim in a certain direction under Yun Jiao’s command, bringing them along.
