Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 487 The little mischievous boy who almost killed himself

The captain and his son drove a speedboat to pick up Chen Ying. After getting on the boat, following Chen Ying's instructions, the captain slowly approached the location of the group of killer whales.

"Doctor Chen, can we stop here?"

The captain didn't dare get too close for fear of hurting the killer whale.

"Okay, I'll go in the water first, you help keep an eye on it."

"Doctor Chen, wait a minute. I'll go down first and then you can go down. You have no experience in diving, so it's safer for me to lead you."

The captain's son worked as a diving instructor at the sea park opposite. When he was resting at home at night, he heard his father calling and saying that there was a killer whale, so he insisted on following them. He must show the value of his following, so after knowing that Chen Ying wanted to go into the water, he made preparations in advance.

When it comes to personal safety issues, Chen Ying won't go to extremes with herself.

He had tried snorkeling once, but it was just a try. Now he has a professional diving instructor with him, and if nothing else, he may feel braver.

When they got closer, the captain also realized something was wrong. He stopped the boat, lay on the side of the boat, and shone the headlight towards the killer whale.

Although it was not completely dark yet, the surroundings were already difficult to see clearly. The captain's son put on a diving headlamp and swam a few meters towards the killer whale before emerging from the water.

"Dad, there's something wrong with the tail of one of the whales."

Chen Ying had just put on her diving suit and went into the water. When she heard what the coach said, she immediately wanted to swim towards the killer whale anxiously.

The more anxious people are, the more likely problems are to arise.

He was wearing a diving suit and carrying an oxygen tank. He paddled a few times, as if he was running on the spot, but he couldn't swim more than two meters.

It was the smallest killer whale that was swimming back and forth nearby that spotted him, swam over, dived under him, and then carried him on its back.

Chen Ying was suddenly carried by a killer whale and tried frantically to steady himself, but there was nothing on the killer whale's back for him to grab except the dorsal fin. In the end, he could only use his hands and feet to hold onto its big head.

After approaching the group of killer whales, Chen Ying slid into the water, patted the young coach on the shoulder, and motioned for him to take her diving to take a look.

The young coach was experienced and quickly brought Chen Ying close to the killer whale.

This is a little fellow who was born not long ago. Its tail fin is tightly entangled in a fishing net, and there are some wounds on its body.

Chen Ying is not a seaside person, so he doesn't know how this injury was caused, but he guessed it might be related to the fishing boat.

Although he had only treated land animals, marine life also treated him very well. And the little killer whale itself didn't have any big problems, so all he had to do was clear the fishing nets.

Chen Ying patted the killer whale's back and signaled it to swim upwards.

But its tail fin was trapped, restricting its movements. Seeing this, another big killer whale pushed it onto its back and floated it upwards.

The small scissors that Chen Ying carried with her definitely could not solve the problem of the fishing net, so she let the little killer whale float to the surface, firstly to let it breathe air, and secondly to make it easier to get tools from the speedboat to remove the damn net.

The young coach was very smart. After seeing the gesture Chen Ying gave him, he immediately swam back to the boat and asked his father to hand him the large scissors prepared in the boat.

With the help of the father and son, after two or three minutes, the tightly entangled fishing net was successfully removed from the tail fin of the killer whale.

In some places, the fishing line was embedded in the flesh, which made Chen Ying feel heartbroken.

Fortunately, it didn't take long. When he first discovered it, the net on the killer whale's tail was probably not so tight. Later, with the "help" of its companions, it became tighter and tighter. If Chen Ying hadn't rushed to help in the first time, the killer whale might have drowned.

Don’t think this is a joke. Killer whales need to breathe. The longest time they can hold their breath is about fifteen minutes. If they don’t surface to breathe for a long time, they will drown.

The unlucky guy who has companions around can be lifted to the surface of the water by their companions to breathe. If there are no companions, death is the inevitable outcome.

Especially the young killer whales, which are naughty, curious and often get entangled in fishing nets or fishing lines. If they cannot untie them, they cannot swim and naturally cannot float up to breathe.

After eliminating the deadly threat posed by the little killer whale, the killer whale family made calls and expressed their joy by jumping.

"Captain, have you reported to the Ocean Rescue Team? This little killer whale has a lot of wounds, so they may need to come over."

Chen Ying could certainly treat the little killer whale if the conditions allowed, but he was here for fun, and the medicines and equipment he brought were for terrestrial animals. The equipment and medicines needed for marine life are basically special-made, and the marine rescue team must have reserves.

"It has been reported, and they are on their way."

Just as he finished speaking, a voice came from the ship's intercom system, saying that the rescue team was determining their anchoring location.

Although the light is not good, many people come out to fish at night. The scattered lights on the sea are the signs of anglers.

Ten minutes later, the light became dimmer, and the light shining on the sea surface broke into pieces of golden scales.

The killer whale family was about to leave when Chen Ying called them and surrounded them.

The killer whale that was closest to Chen Ying made a sound, asking him if he wanted to go with them.

"No, it's not, but the little guy is injured. We have medicine. Giving it some will help it recover faster."

After the marine rescue team arrived here, they briefly inquired about the situation and professional team members examined the injured killer whale.

"It's not a big problem. The wounds look numerous, but they are not serious. Killer whales can heal quickly."

After hearing the rescue team's explanation, Chen Ying felt relieved and patted the head of the killer whale floating beside him. "It's okay, you guys go back and have a rest. Say hello to your kid and tell him not to be too curious about the boat. He might not be so lucky next time he gets caught in a net."

While he was speaking, the injured killer whale swam over and squeezed out a spot between his brother and Chen Ying.

It kept wanting to stick close to Chen Ying for comfort, and was a real clingy person.

Chen Ying had no choice but to touch and caress it.

The rescue team members nearby were extremely envious when they saw this scene.

Although killer whales are relatively affectionate, it is rare to see them display such affection.

"Okay, come on up, the water is very cold at night."

The gray-haired uncle who was driving the rescue boat said a few words to Chen Ying and the others and was about to return when he saw two killer whales approaching with manta rays in their mouths.

They say manta rays are the universal currency of the ocean, and it really is true.

Chen Ying definitely wouldn't dare to accept it in front of the rescue team.

The killer whales were not angry when they were rejected. If the two-legged animals didn't want them, they would eat them themselves.

It was already late and the killer whales were getting ready to leave.

The little killer whale was a little reluctant to leave, but after being patted on the tail by the elders in the family, it had to follow and leave.

The way he kept looking back every few steps made the onlookers think it was a famous scene of a couple being forced to break up. After getting on the boat, Chen Ying shuddered as he had no way to change his clothes.

The captain drove the speedboat back to the shore and asked his son to accompany Chen Ying to flush the water first.

There is a captain's room on the cruise ship. It is not as good as the guest rooms, but it is equipped with a simple washroom.

After they finished washing and changing their clothes, Dao Meihua invited the captain and his son to stay for dinner.

Dao Meihua called the hotel's catering department to deliver the food, which was enough for four people.

The captain didn't want to stay, but his son wanted to talk to Chen Ying more.

Finally, the captain left on the pretext of having something to do at home, and his son called his girlfriend to come over to eat with them so that he wouldn't stand there like a bright light bulb.

The young coach’s girlfriend is a teacher at a local primary school. She teaches Chinese and is a very pretty girl.

"Aaron, what certificate did you say you wanted to take?"

"I want to get a diving certification. I took the OW test before, and I want to advance to AOW."

Chen Ying listened for a long time but it was like he didn't listen at all. He had no idea what certification a diver needed. He thought he only needed to take one test. However, he ended up taking a lot of tests.

In comparison, Dao Meihua is more familiar with these things. She had nothing to do when she was studying, so she took the AOW certificate. However, she rarely used this certificate after returning to the mainland.

When A Long heard that Dao Meihua had passed the exam, he immediately asked how to prepare and where would be the best place to go for training.

Dao Meihua glanced at him and thought for a moment. "I originally joined a club that registered for a unified training exam. If you want to take the exam, I can help you ask."

She casually asked Aaron why he didn't sign up at his workplace, and Aaron and his girlfriend sighed at the same time.

"The owner of the amusement park didn't want me to take the exam, and always told me that it was useless. I graduated from junior high school and studied at a vocational high school for two years, then stopped, and started working for him. We were children from fishermen's families, so we all knew how to swim. After the first year, the boss signed us up for the OW diver certification exam and hired a teacher to teach us. But when we wanted to take the exam later, he said no, saying that we couldn't leave the place without people or something like that."

Even though it looks beautiful now, three or four years ago, it was still a shabby fishing village. Fishermen's children like A Long had never even been to the provincial capital, let alone exams like diving certification.

It was only since last year that more and more tourists came here, and more and more elderly people came here to spend the winter, and Aaron and his family's income has improved slightly.

But because the boss had paid for the training, when Aaron and the others wanted to resign or take leave to go for training, the boss would not agree unless they returned the training fees.

"That boss was really mean. The exam only cost a few thousand yuan, and the teacher he hired taught him for less than three days, with more than 20 people studying together. But he said that if I wanted to leave, I had to compensate him 50,000 yuan."

Aaron patted his girlfriend's back soothingly. "It's okay. 50,000 is 50,000. It's not that I can't afford it. I just want to know where the exam is faster and more authoritative, and if there is training, how to choose the better one. I don't dare to ask around locally. Everyone here has connections with that boss, and I'm worried that he'll do something bad to me."

After hearing what he said, Dao Meihua agreed to help him find out first and give him a reply within two days at most.

"Thank you so much. I have tomorrow and the day after tomorrow off. Brother Chen, if you want to go diving, I can take you out. Someone in our village rented a place outside to raise shellfish. There is a small island next to it. The water quality there is very good, very suitable for diving and taking pictures."

Now that I'm here, it would be a shame if I didn't go out and have some fun.

Sister Yu's zoo doesn't need him for the time being, so he can go diving in the sea and take some photos to show off. Isn't that just right?
Aaron's family has their own small speedboat. It's not good for fishing, but it's good for taking it for a stroll and diving.

Chen Ying also thought that this arrangement was good. Although A-Long’s speedboat was not as comfortable as Yu Jie’s yacht, it was more free and convenient.

Dao Meihua naturally followed Chen Ying. She was not some young lady who could not endure hardship. She had ridden on wooden fishing boats before, let alone speedboats.

After eating and drinking, they made an appointment with Aaron, gathered the four of them into a small group, and then Aaron left with his girlfriend.

Aaron's girlfriend was very diligent. She cleaned up the dining area before leaving and took the garbage off the boat to the garbage station to throw away.

Chen Ying and Dao Meihua each pulled a lounge chair and sat side by side on the deck. The cruise ship rose and fell slightly with the waves, swaying from side to side, which was particularly hypnotic.

At around eleven o'clock, two safety officers were preparing to patrol and inspect the entire ship. After greeting them on the deck, they went up to the third floor.

When Chen Ying was pulling Dao Meihua back to their room to rest, they heard some unusual noises.

"Hmm, is there something calling?"

He stuck his head out to take a look, and in the dim light, something seemed to be moving in the water.

Chen Ying did not dare to delay and called the security guard loudly.

The patrolling security guard heard his voice and poked his head out from the third-floor deck to ask what was going on. When they heard that there was something in the water, they both hurried down to check.

"It looks like a fish?"

"How is that possible? Where can I find such a big fish?"

"Could it be that a killer whale is following us?" One of the security guards asked on a whim. They all knew that Chen Ying and A Long and his son had run to rescue the killer whale before. Could it be that this killer whale came here to repay its gratitude?

Chen Ying looked at it for a while and felt that it didn't look like it.

First of all, the killer whale had already left, so there was no reason for it to suddenly come back.

There were quite a few killer whales in that group, but now there was only one alone in the water.

"Is there no detection equipment?"

This is a cruise ship, and it is used for tourists to sightsee near the coast. The facilities and equipment are not very advanced. Besides, there are no people who know how to operate it. The two of them are safety officers and are not qualified to operate the ship.

Chen Ying was very brave. She put on a rope, held on to a lifebuoy, and slid into the water.

Fortunately, he had pretty good skills, and when he got close to the water, he put one foot on the hull, held the safety rope tightly with one hand, and shone a flashlight into the water with the other hand.

"Oh my god, Meihua, turn on the headlights, it looks like a white dolphin."

(Two Chinese white dolphins playing near Weitou Bay in Quanzhou)
There are indeed Chinese white dolphins in this sea area, but again, this is an inland bay, not a place these precious guys would normally come.

Perhaps sensing Chen Ying's presence, the white dolphin jumped out of the water and made a series of rapid calls.

Chen Ying listened attentively and vaguely understood what it wanted to express.

"Meihua, call Aaron and ask him to bring the boat over immediately. The little guy is here to ask for help."

Dao Meihua's eyes widened, and she quickly took out her cell phone to make a call, and at the same time reminded the safety officer to call the ocean rescue team to report.

A-Long's boat was moored at the nearby pier. When he heard Chen Ying say that a white dolphin was asking for help, A-Long didn't care about playing games with his friends and ran to his speedboat.

His friends, who were also children of fishermen, followed over when they saw what was happening. They also drove two speedboats behind Aaron's boat.

Dao Meihua got on the boat with them this time, put on a life jacket, sat quietly in her seat holding on to the handle, silently enduring the violent bumps and the stimulation of the sea breeze blowing on her face.
