Chapter 314:
After the sea eagle finished eating, the hunting on the other side was almost done.
Yun Jiao stood on the humpback whale’s back, heading back.
A sea eagle had been circling in the sky, following them.
Clearly, it understood.
Yun Jiao’s lips turned up.
Upon finding Deputy Commander Lin and his crew again, she discovered they were salvaging people.
“Deputy Commander, it’s Little Yun Jiao. Yun Jiao brought the whales!”
At this time, most people had jumped into the sea to rescue them.
Yun Jiao glanced from afar and saw quite a lot of people, making for a lively scene.
“Yun Jiao, come quickly and help save them!”
Deputy Commander Lin couldn’t bother with anything else and shouted, he hadn’t expected a passenger ship to capsize here.
Many people were in the sea, waiting for help.
Yun Jiao whistled, and the orcas, dolphins, and humpback whales rushed to rescue people.
Yun Jiao also dove headfirst into the sea.
Entering the sea, she saw that some people had already sunk to the seabed.
It was likely a very grim situation.
Command the big fish to salvage all those corpses.
Most of the survivors were holding onto floating objects for support.
Some were scattered by the waves, drifting far away.
The sea eagle flew further in the sky, seeing more clearly, and would cry out to Yun Jiao from time to time.
With the humpback whales, rescuing people was much more convenient.
Local soldiers dragged the weak and unconscious people onto the backs of the humpback whales.
The large boats they were on were too high, and it was difficult to climb the rope ladders with people.
Those with strength left, disregarding the shocking scene, desperately swam to the backs of the orcas and joined the rescue.
They worked for about four hours, finally rescuing everyone they could find.
Yun Jiao pulled the last person onto a whale’s back, and someone immediately came forward to provide first aid.
Whether they could live would depend on whether they still had a breath after first aid.
She was exhausted and lay down directly on the humpback whale’s back.
Several humpback whale backs were occupied by people, both from China and foreigners, speaking various languages, making it a lively gathering.
After a short rest, Yun Jiao went to find Deputy Commander Lin to ask.
“Can we go back now?”
Deputy Commander Lin was also panting from exhaustion.
“Yes, everyone has been rescued. Let’s go.”
Yun Jiao sat cross-legged and watched the people, muttering, “Are they all here for fun?”
Deputy Commander Lin glanced at them, “Yes, it was a group of young masters and ladies from the harbor area who took their foreign friends out to sea for fun. Their ship was blown here by the typhoon last night and hit a reef.”
Yun Jiao said “oh” and didn’t pay much attention, she just wanted to go home now, fearing her father and mother would worry.
She hadn’t had time to send word back before because she was so busy.
“Are you following behind the boat with those fish?”
Deputy Commander Lin stroked Yun Jiao’s wet hair and asked someone on the boat to throw down a dry towel to wrap the child.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Yun Jiao nodded and said casually, “I am a little tired.”
They had to send these people ashore and settle them first.
Deputy Commander Lin’s boat sailed ahead, with Yun Jiao and the whales following behind.
Upon reaching the shore, after seeing the people safely on land, Yun Jiao said farewell to Deputy Commander Lin and turned to dive back into the sea.
Deputy Commander Lin extended his hand to call Yun Jiao back: …
He had intended to have a car take her back.
After a while, Deputy Commander Lin smiled, “This child.”
“First, send everyone to the hospital. I will go back to the troops and report this matter.”
“Yes!”
By the time Yun Jiao arrived home, it was almost dark. She thought there wouldn’t be many people on the dock at this hour but didn’t expect to see many flashlight beams in the distance.
If she listened carefully, she could still hear people calling her name.
A hint of confusion flashed in Yun Jiao’s eyes.
However, it didn’t affect her speed as she swam towards the shore.
“Dad.”
Yun Jiao’s voice was childish, but it wasn’t very noticeable amidst so many other voices.
“I’m here.”
Standing up from the sea, Yun Jiao had only taken a few steps before Yun Linhai, who rushed over, hugged her.
“You scared us to death, you really scared us to death.”
“Wow… Sister, why are you back so late!”
Yun Xiaowu and the others also ran over and cried when they saw Yun Jiao.
They held Yun Jiao as if she were a lost treasure.
Yun Jiao knew she had made them worry again.
She also hugged Yun Linhai tightly, “I’m sorry, Dad, for making you worry.”
“We found her, Yun Jiao is back.”
“Hurry and tell the boats at sea to come back.”
Many villagers gathered around, enthusiastically asking Yun Jiao if she was injured, cold, or hungry.
Yun Jiao, being good-looking, had been very popular in the village before, but never to this extent.
Everyone’s concern seemed genuine, and for some reason, Yun Jiao’s heart felt a little sore and warm.
“Dad, the fish, my fish.”
She pointed to a spot not far away.
Everyone looked in that direction, “Wow, what a big fish.”
“It’s a tuna, such a big one.”
Someone immediately said, “You go ahead, we’ll help deliver this fish to your house.”
Yun Wang said, “Put it in my freezer, Brother Lin Hai, you can come get it from me tomorrow whenever you want.”
They definitely wouldn’t sell the fish today, so it was best to freeze it with ice.
Yun Wang was a fishmonger and had professional equipment.
“Alright, let’s take the fish to Awang’s place first.”
As everyone lifted the fish, they marveled.
“Jiaojiao is truly amazing, going to rescue people and find boats, and still bringing back such a big fish.”
“That’s right, a few adults in our village combined couldn’t do as much as she can.”
“No wonder Yun Linhai’s family dotes on her so much; I would dote on her too if she were mine.”
At this moment, everyone sincerely believed Yun Jiao was a lucky star.
Regarding the tuna she brought back, people felt envy but no greed or jealousy.
She had great abilities, and what she deserved, she got.
By the time those who had gone out on boats to look for Yun Jiao returned, it was completely dark.
Yun Jiao was very tired today and fell asleep with her head on her father’s shoulder.
Seeing this, the people around them spontaneously quieted down.
The flashlights in their hands converged, illuminating the path home ahead.
Yun Jiao was asleep, and her mother helped her change her clothes.
She slept until about eight o’clock the next day before waking up.
After breakfast, the house became lively.
Many people brought eggs, candy, and flour to their home.
Yun Tao’s wife, with her two children, was so excited that she almost knelt before Yun Jiao, repeatedly expressing her gratitude.
Yun Linhai and the others quickly stopped her.
“No, no, Jiaojiao is still young, you can’t kneel.”
Yun Tao’s wife thrust a chicken into their hands, urging them to take it.
“Please accept this chicken. Thank you, Yun Jiao, you saved our entire family.”
Her gratitude was sincere.
Yun Jiao couldn’t quite describe her feelings at that moment; she was both happy and a little flustered.
