Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Chapter 1291 The Leather Case

Underwater, Fu Wan had already decided to go to the nearby waters to look for the leather case again.

She had just turned around when she felt a chill run down her back.

Fu Wan instinctively swam forward several meters.

When I turned around again, I found that there was a huge thing in the place where I was.

Fu Wan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw what it was.

sperm whale!

To be precise, it was a small sperm whale!

Seeing Fu Wan dodge, the baby sperm whale wagged its tail in confusion. The sperm whale's eyes were exceptionally clear. For some reason, Fu Wan suddenly remembered the sperm whale calf she had encountered in the sea before.

It's been over a year since I last saw that guy. Last time, that sperm whale also quietly approached me like this.

Could it be that the sperm whale in front of me is the same one I encountered last year?

Thinking of this, Fu Wan carefully estimated the size of the sperm whale. The last time she met it, the sperm whale calf was about four or five meters long, and the one in front of her now looked about seven or eight meters long.

How can a sperm whale grow so much in just one year?

Fu Wan didn't have time to think it through, because the sperm whale in front of her came closer again.

Anyway, sperm whales don't eat people, and Fu Wan quite liked this adorable creature that had made her so rich.

She reached out and touched the sperm whale's head, and sure enough, she felt a few more parasitic barnacles. Fu Wan wanted to pick them off, but after a couple of tries, she couldn't pry them off at all.

Left with no other option, she drew the short knife she always carried with her.

The little sperm whale was enjoying being scratched when it saw Fu Wan stop, so it nudged Fu Wan's hand with its head, signaling her to hurry up.

Fu Wan knew that this feeling of being parasitized was painful, so she quickly used the back of her knife to remove the barnacles from the sperm whale's head.

It was such an unlucky thing. After finishing her work, Fu Wan patted its head, indicating that if it got parasitized by barnacles again, it could come to her again.

Unfortunately, sperm whales are not like aggressive killer whales; when there are no enemies, they prefer to swim slowly in the sea.

This gave the barnacles time to parasitize.

After the barnacles on its body were cleaned, the sperm whale was clearly much happier. In its joy, it turned around and, as if by magic, swam over with a large squid in its mouth.

Fu Wan didn't even see where the squid came from. With a quick thought, she pulled over the baby sperm whale and started gesturing.

While sperm whales may not be as intelligent as killer whales, they are still comparable to the intelligence of a young child. Moreover, the fact that this sperm whale was able to detect its presence in this area and recognize it, asking it to help remove barnacles, is enough to demonstrate that this creature possesses extraordinary intelligence.

Fu Wan gestured a few times at it, and the little sperm whale looked confused, spitting the giant squid in its mouth back to Fu Wan.

Giant squid is one of the sperm whale's favorite foods. Fu Wan was touched, but still shook her head and continued to gesture the shape of the leather suitcase to it.

After a few minutes of activity, the little sperm whale seemed to understand something, turned its head and swam back the way it came. Fu Wan's eyes lit up. Could this really work?

She hurriedly followed.

Heaven knows she was just trying her luck when she was gesturing, but she never expected the little sperm whale to actually understand what she meant!

If we really find the leather trunk, I'll get a whole bucket of squid to repay it!

However, when she happily swam a long way with the baby sperm whale, she saw the baby sperm whale joyfully running towards an adult sperm whale.

At that moment, Fu Wan laughed in anger.

She was being silly; how could she think the little sperm whale could understand her? Fu Wan couldn't help but shake her head, then turned around to search again.

Sigh, it's been about two hours since she came down. If she still can't find it, she'll have to go back and confirm with Wang Desheng when the box was dropped, and whether it's been washed a hundred meters away to the sea, given the current.

Just then, Fu Wan suddenly felt a dark shadow beside her. She turned her head to look, only to find it was the adult sperm whale.

The adult sperm whale stared at Fu Wan for a long time, making Fu Wan feel uncomfortable. Just then, the sperm whale suddenly pushed Fu Wan hard with its head.

It was a sperm whale after all; with that push, Fu Wan was thrown more than ten meters away. In her panic, Fu Wan grabbed a sea willow tree next to her and barely managed to steady herself.

However, when she saw the bottomless trench beneath her feet, Fu Wan instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Fine, these two ungrateful sperm whales! I helped them, and they treat me like this!" Fu Wan was furious. She was about to step back and confront the sperm whales when, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly noticed something brownish on the rocks next to the sea willow tree.

I rely on! ! !

Fu Wan couldn't help but swear, then hurriedly and carefully swam forward.

The box was covered with a large net, and inside the net were indeed two huge iron blocks.

Fu Wan quickly pulled out her knife, then slashed the net bag as fast as she could before taking out the box.

Judging from the size, it should be the box that Wang Desheng told her about. Fu Wan touched the material of the box, but due to the seawater interference, she couldn't tell if it was made of cowhide.

Judging from the mud and sand on this box, it probably hasn't been in the sea for very long.

Never mind, let's take it up and see if we find it ourselves!

As Fu Wan was thinking this, she was about to reach out and swim up with the box when a blue-black sea snake suddenly darted out from a crevice in the rocks in front of her. Fu Wan instinctively dodged backward, forgetting how to move her legs, and ended up falling violently towards the trench.

Just when she thought she was doomed, a broad back caught her—it was the adult sperm whale!

Fu Wan quickly grabbed the sperm whale's back. Thank goodness, Mazu protected her; thankfully, the sperm whale was there.

After getting away from the trench and the damn sea snake, Fu Wan patted her chest in relief. Damn it, she was almost scared to death.

Having found the box, she didn't dare waste any more time. After waving goodbye to the sperm whale mother and calf, Fu Wan pushed off with her legs and turned to swim towards the surface of the sea.

On the ship, Wang Desheng was so anxious that he kept pacing around on the deck, and Jiang Wenming couldn't help but grab him.

"Commander Wang, can you please stop spinning me? It's giving me a headache."

Wang Desheng replied with a stern face, "Do you think I want to transfer? I'm just in a hurry!"

Two hours have passed; even the best swimmer would be impatient by now!

The sea was calm, and Fu Wan could not be seen surfacing at all.

If something were to happen to Fu Wan, how would he explain it to Chief Sun and the villagers of Fu Family Village?

Wang Desheng hadn't thought of these things at first, but the longer he waited, the more he regretted letting Fu Wan come.

Jiang Wenming was different. Although he didn't know how good Fu Wan was at swimming, he had a mysterious confidence in her.

Besides, what's the use of worrying? They're on a boat, and Fu Wan is in the sea. Instead of just worrying, why not just go into the water and look for her?

Jiang Wenming grumbled inwardly, but he only dared to complain in secret. After all, Wang Desheng was a higher-ranking official than their bureau chief, and even though Wang Desheng was approachable, Jiang Wenming didn't dare to say it aloud.

Wang Desheng knew that rushing wouldn't solve anything, so he stopped and turned around to see Bai Qianzhou, dressed in diving gear, walking out of the cabin.

"Dr. Bai, what's wrong with you...?"

"I'll go down and take a look!"

"What? No way!"

Wang Desheng instinctively tried to stop him, but he couldn't stop him at all. With a loud bang, Bai Qianzhou also jumped into the water.
