Chapter 30: Stranded Orca
Although Yun Jiao really wanted to go to the sea, she also knew that her family would definitely be very worried.
I am still too young; if I were older, I could make my own decisions.
So, can’t she grow up all at once?
Finally, the sea turtle swam ahead in the shallower seawater, leading the way, and Yun Jiao and her brothers followed it.
Then they found a stranded orca.
The sea turtle’s excited voice rang in her mind: “Quick, catch it and take it back! Such a big fish is enough for you to eat for a long time, catch it!”
How much it must have wanted that orca to become a meal.
Yun Jiao: …………
When they walked over, the orca still wagged its tail and whimpered twice.
The orca was black and white, enormous in size, and even though this orca was still an immature cub, it looked huge lying on the beach.
Yun Xiaowu and the others, who had never seen an orca before, gasped in unison upon seeing such a large fish, their eyes widened.
“A fish this big, even if Father and all the others came, they might not be able to lift it!”
Yun Jiao walked in front of the orca and poked its head with her finger; the orca’s skin was cool and smooth.
“Why did you come here?”
The orca’s small eyes immediately lit up, and it vigorously wagged its tail, whimpering at Yun Jiao.
At the same time, a young voice also came into Yun Jiao’s mind.
‘Cute, human, cute~’
‘This one is the cutest~’
Yun Jiao: …………
This orca was a bit too excited.
Yun Jiao patted its head.
The giant sea turtle still looked expectantly at Yun Jiao and the others, hoping they would take the orca.
Orcas are notoriously troublesome at home, and many animals in the ocean have suffered greatly from them.
If you accidentally encounter them, it’s truly bad luck.
Even if they don’t eat them, they will curiously play with them.
Sea turtles are one of the victims of orcas.
These guys like to use their snouts to push the turtle shells and spin around in the sea!
No wonder the giant sea turtle was so eager to bring them here.
However, it’s a pity, its wish probably cannot be fulfilled.
Yun Xiaowu ran quickly to call Father Yun and Uncle Yun.
“Father, look at this big fish, how much can it be sold for!”
Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe ran over and were immediately wide-eyed.
“This… this is an orca.”
“The orca is stranded, quickly see if we can send it back to the sea.”
Yun Xiaowu scratched his head, “Huh? Why send it back to the sea? Isn’t this valuable?”
“What’s not valuable, this can’t be eaten at all.”
“This creature’s meat is poisonous, and it’s very clever and holds grudges. They act in groups, if we really kill this one, you won’t have a peaceful life at sea from now on.”
“But this creature doesn’t harm people, and it even drives away sharks. As long as you don’t provoke them, they are beneficial to people.”
In short, this thing can’t be sold for money, what a pity for such a big one.
I don’t know how long it has been stranded, but this orca is still quite lively, constantly twisting its body and trying to rub against Yun Jiao.
Yun Linhai said, “Let’s dig a small trench along the orca’s body and hope it can swim back with the rising tide. We need to hurry, as dehydration will be very dangerous for it if it takes too long.”
‘Human, let me touch you.’
‘Human, say something more, it sounds nice~’
Yun Jiao: It doesn’t seem worried about its own danger at all.
“Don’t talk.”
Yun Jiao patted its mouth.
“Whimper whimper…”
Unexpectedly, this guy became even more vocal, taking advantage of the situation.
‘Say more, say more, it sounds really good.’
Yun Jiao: “Did you just curse?”
Orca: ‘Nice, nice~’
Yun Linhai and the others quickly dug in the sand, while the sea turtle beside them was dumbfounded.
What’s wrong? Not catching the fish anymore? Such a big one!
Yun Jiao told it, “This fish cannot be eaten, it must be returned to the sea.”
Sea Turtle: It was sad; if it could cry, it would have cried at that moment.
Orca: “Whimper whimper~”
‘Human, ignore that ugly turtle, look at me, look at me quickly…’
Amidst the orca’s noisy clamor, Yun Jiao finally turned her gaze back to it, and the orca was very happy.
Even lying on the beach and unable to move couldn’t stop its enthusiasm to pet Yun Jiao.
‘Turtle is ugly, I am good-looking, humans like me.’
The orca’s vocabulary was limited, but it could express what it wanted to convey.
It even aggressively vied for attention.
The sea turtle angrily slapped the sand with its scythe-like flipper.
This cute human was discovered by it first.
Relying on its ability to move now, the sea turtle crawled to Yun Jiao’s side in front of the orca and directly put its head into her arms.

Orca: ‘I’m going to have my mother beat you up!’
Sea Turtle: I’m not leaving, I’ll stay with the little human from now on.
It was afraid that as soon as it returned to the sea, it would be used as a spinning top by those troublemakers.
Yun Jiao petted this one and that one, a little busy.
“Don’t argue.”
It was giving her a headache.
“Wow, such a big sea turtle, it seems they all like Jiao Jiao a lot.”
Yun Linhe saw how both the turtle and the fish interacted with Jiao Jiao, and while feeling proud, he couldn’t help but be curious.
Yun Jiao patted the sea turtle’s head and replied to him with her head tilted up, “This giant sea turtle gave Jiao Jiao fish.”
Hearing this, Yun Linhe remembered what they had talked about before, about the sea turtle giving a yellow croaker.
“It was this one that gave it?!”
Yun Linhe’s voice rose significantly, and Yun Linhai also came closer.
“What? That yellow croaker was given by this sea turtle?”
Yun Xiaowu ran over and nodded proudly.
“This sea turtle really likes Jiao Jiao. That big yellow croaker, oh right Father, we had good luck today, we found three more yellow croakers.”
“What, why didn’t you say so earlier?!”
“And there are many snails too.”
Yun Linhai took a look and was a bit envious of his sons’ and daughter’s luck.
Although there was a typhoon last night, most of what was left on the shore were small fish and shrimp that weren’t valuable.
Some people were lucky enough to find big fish or more precious ones.
But not many.
If Yun Jiao and their group’s harvest became known, some people would surely become envious again.
Such a big sack of snails, and three yellow croakers.
“Let’s hurry up and send this orca back to the sea, then go back and sell the fish.”
Fortunately, it wasn’t too far from the sea surface, and they all used tools, so digging wasn’t difficult.
The tide occasionally surged in, and after digging this small trench, the incoming tide was even deeper.
They tried to change the orca’s direction, with its head facing the sea.
It took a lot of effort.
“This guy is really heavy!”
“It must be over a ton.”
“We can’t push it, we need to go call a few more people.”
Yun Xiaowu was again ordered to fetch people.
While they were trying to push the orca, the orca was still talking to Yun Jiao.
So, Yun Linhai and the others were trying their best to push it into the sea, but this simple-minded orca twisted in the opposite direction.
