Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!

The two boats, one after the other, slowly came together.

Wu Sui stood at the bow of the boat, leaning over to look down.

Amidst the splashing water, the baby sperm whale was frantically twisting its body.

The main storyline has already wrapped around it several times.

The worst part is that several of the fishhooks on the leader line have already pierced into the skin.

The more it felt pain, the more desperately it struggled.

With each struggle, the fishing line tightened, leaving several deep bloody marks, and the surrounding seawater turned a faint red.

Wu Gang trembled with heartache on the boat.

"Several hundred yuan, and this big guy has wasted it all."

He watched as the main line was stretched so taut it creaked, pulling several nearby floats to their sides. If this continued, the entire longline fishing basket would be ruined.

"Chen Yang, give me the knife!"

Wu Gang shouted, took the rope cutter Chen Yang handed him, leaned out, and cut the main line connecting the float.

But the baby sperm whale in the water didn't stop.

The thread still clung to its body, and now that it was no longer restrained by the main thread, it thrashed about in the water even more violently.

"No good, Brother Gang! If it keeps causing this trouble, our longline fishing will be ruined!" Chen Yongqiang said anxiously, scratching his head.

Wu Sui frowned, staring at the enormous creature in the water.

Although this little guy is called a pygmy sperm whale, it is seven or eight meters long and weighs at least two or three tons.

When such a large creature goes berserk in the water, its destructive power is astonishing.

He took a deep breath, turned around, quickly took off his shirt and threw it aside, then pulled a knife out of his toolbox.

"Big brother, Lei-ge, stabilize the boat, I'm going down for a bit," Wu Sui said in a deep voice.

These words caused an uproar among the people on both boats.

Wu Gang's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Without saying a word, he stepped over the ship's side and grabbed Wu Sui's arm.

"Second brother, are you crazy?"

"That's a whale!"

"It's in excruciating pain right now. You want to go down there? Just a flick of its tail and you, weighing over a hundred pounds, will be dead in the sea."

Wu Lei quickly ran out of the driver's seat and stood in front of Wu Sui.

"That's right, Ah Sui, this is no joke!"

"A few baskets of longline fishing are gone, that's it. Consider it dog food."

"If you go down there and something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to my uncle and aunt when I get back?"

Chen Yang was also jumping up and down in anxiety on the other side of the boat.

"Brother-in-law, don't be impulsive. This is no joke. The sea is its territory. No matter how good you are at swimming, you can't beat it."

Wang Dazhu also came over and stammered, "Brother Sui, you really...you really can't go, it's too dangerous."

Despite the crowd's objections, Wu Sui did not forcefully shake off Wu Gang's hand.

He knew in his heart that everyone was doing it for his own good, but he really had to take care of this matter.

Firstly, longline fishing is something that cost real money, and it would be a shame to just ruin it like this.

Secondly, this little sperm whale had just helped them chase away a group of tide beetles, which made them a fortune.

Wu Sui can't get over the fact that he watched someone die without offering help.

"Big brother, Lei-ge, don't worry." Wu Sui patted Wu Gang's hand, signaling him to relax.

"I'm not stupid, I won't risk my life."

Wu Sui turned around and walked to the side of the boat, looking down at the baby sperm whale that was still thrashing about in the water.

He cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted at the sea.

"Hey, big guy down there, stop thrashing around, the more you thrash, the tighter it gets."

"Quiet down, I'll go down and cut the line for you."

These shouts stunned everyone on the boat.

Wu Gang stared at Wu Lei, then at Chen Yang, and the group exchanged bewildered glances.

Chen Yang swallowed hard and muttered to himself.

"My brother-in-law is... in a fit of anger, has he lost his mind? Is he trying to talk to a whale like that?"

Wu Lei gave a wry smile: "A-Sui, it's an animal, how could it understand human speech..."

Before the words were even finished, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

The baby sperm whale, which had been churning wildly in the water and creating huge waves, actually stopped slowly.

Its enormous body slowly rose to the surface of the water, revealing only its round head.

It turned its head, its big eyes staring straight at Wu Sui, who was standing at the bow of the boat.

It emitted a low "woo-woo" sound.

The voice sounded like it was full of grievance and pleading for help, like a wounded puppy whining to its owner.

The people on both boats were completely dumbfounded.

Wu Gang rubbed his eyes, pointing at the sea in disbelief: "This...this thing has become sentient? It really understands?"

Wu Lei's mouth dropped open, and he couldn't close it for a long time: "My goodness, this big guy is actually so intelligent?"

Chen Yang, on the opposite boat, blurted out a curse: "Holy crap, brother-in-law, did he understand you?"

Wu Sui turned around, looked at the stunned expressions on everyone's faces, and couldn't help but laugh.

"See? I told you I'm not stupid. This big guy is smart; it knows I mean no harm."

As he spoke, Wu Sui picked up a bundle of thick rope from the deck, skillfully tied it around his waist, and then handed the other end of the rope to Wu Gang.

"Big brother, Lei brother, you guys on the boat, hold on tight to the ropes."

Wu Sui cautiously went into the water while giving instructions.

"I'll go down and cut the line for it. You guys keep an eye on it."

"If this big guy suddenly goes berserk, or does anything wrong, pull the rope as hard as you can to pull me up."

Wu Gang gripped the rope tightly, his palms sweating profusely.

He looked at the giant beast that had calmed down in the water, then at Wu Sui who looked relaxed, and sighed.

"Ah Sui, are you really going?"

"Go, we must go."

"This little guy just helped us a lot, we can't repay kindness with enmity."

Wu Sui smiled and said, "Besides, with you guys holding me up there, nothing will happen."

Wu Gang gritted his teeth and wrapped the rope around his wrist twice.

"Okay, then be very careful. If you notice anything wrong, swim away quickly and don't go near the tail."

As he spoke, he called to the others, "Dazhu, Alei, come and help hold the rope."

Wu Lei and Wang Dazhu quickly ran over, and the three of them stood in a row, pulling the cable straight.

Chen Yang, anxiously shouting from the old boat, "Brother-in-law, be careful! Don't lean against its big tail!"

Wu Suichong and the others waved their hands, braced themselves against the gunwale, and slipped silently into the sea like eels.

The sea is quite cool in August.

He treaded the water and slowly swam toward the baby sperm whale.

The closer you get, the more oppressive the beast becomes.

His grayish-black skin was covered with scars of all sizes, some old and some fresh, caused by the fishing line.

The baby sperm whale floated quietly on the surface of the water, watching Wu Sui approach.

It neither dodged nor struggled.

Only occasionally did a small spray of water emerge from the vent, accompanied by a soft whimper.
