Chapter 220: Dolphin Rider
The fishing ship sailed forward, and the actors, actresses, and assorted crew members stood on deck and looked out curiously at the waters.
This time, they were not only on the Mermaid, and two other over thirty meter long fishing ships accompanied them, after all, some of the scenes would need more than two ships.
“It feels great to be free at sea!” Yan Wenwen said as she spread her arms and faced into the sea wind.
“Heihei, then Yanyan should marry someone who owns fishing ships in the future, and when you have time he will take you out to sea!” Duan Ke called over from where he leaned on the handrail.
“Pa!”
Chu Xian put his arm around his shoulders. “It is all exciting at firs,t, but after you’ve stared at the waters for a long time, it will not feel so great, and the weather is very unpredictable at sea.”
“Big Brother Chu Xian, you said that you could get us seafood. En, I want to eat giant lobsters for lunch.”
“Of course, no problem.” Chu Xian smiled and nodded.
“Is it easy to catch seafood like the giant lobster here?” Yan Zekun asked curiously.
“It’s not easy. Giant lobsters usually live at the bottom layer of the sea, and if catching them is quite difficult, but we are experienced divers and have caught them many times. We’ll stop the ship at noon, and if you all are interested, we can go down and try it out as well.” Chu Xian lied and explained.
“Diving? Will there be any large and fierce fish? Will we be in danger?” Yan Wenwen asked inquisitively.
“It’s possible that there will be danger, but very unlikely. Last time when I first met Director Duan, we encountered a shark.” Chu Xian smiled and replied.
“Right, we can go film the view on the seabed later.” Chu Xian turned to Duan Ke.
“Heihei, if you didn’t offer I would have come to ask you soon. My photographer friend doesn’t know how to swim.” Duan Ke laughed and replied.
“I want to go as well. I want to take some pictures to remember this by.” Yan Wenwen said excitedly.
“Sure.”
Chu Xian nodded. The fishing ships sailed forward very quickly, but they would still need almost twenty hours to reach international waters.
At noontime, Chu Xian stopped the ship and took out some diving equipment.
Of course, for Chu Xian and his mermen, the diving equipment was just for pretend, but still they put them on, and Chu Xian, Sword Two, and Sword Three all slid into the gear.
Yan Wenwen, Ren Penghui, and Yan Zekun also put on their gear. Only Duan Ke refused to go into the water, and stood on deck cheerfully watching them.
“Sword Two, you go record some video at the sea bed. Sword Three, go get some giant lobsters and other food that we can eat.” Chu Xian called out instructions to Sword Two and Sword Three, and he jumped into the water.
“Jump!” Chu Xian called up to the people on the ship.
“Pong, pong, pong!” Ren Penghui, Yan Zekun, and Sword Two and Sword Three all immediately jumped into the water.
“I can’t!” Yan Wenwen looked at the bottomless depths with fear, and her heart was filled with timidity.
“It’s easy. Don’t worry. We’ll be beside you, protecting you.” Chu Xian smiled and reached out his hand.
Yan Wenwen nodded, and slowly she edged over to the side of the ship. With a sudden shout, she jumped into the sea.
The distance between the deck and the sea surface was only two meters, and when Chu Xian saw Yan Wenwen jump, he reached out his hand to support her.
“Thank you!” Yan Wenwen used both of her hands to grab Chu Xian’s arm, and smiled sweetly at him.
Chu Xian smiled, and quickly replied. “You can try swimming around first. If you want to dive, just let me know, and we can dive down together.”
“Okay.” Yan Wenwen nodded, and then swam around in a little area near Chu Xian.
Chu Xian focused for a moment and activated his sonar. He looked carefully at the creatures lining the seabed, and then swam over to Sword Three and whispered some good locations to him.
Sword Three nodded, pretended to put on his oxygen mask, and then dived downwards.
“Chu Xian, can you take me diving?” Yan Wenwen laughed happily as she swam over to Chu Xian.
“Yes, of course!”
Chu Xian nodded, and put on his goggles and mask as Yan Wenwen quickly followed suit.
“Let’s go together.” Chu Xian gestured over to Ren Penghui and Yan Zekun, but they waved back and smiled. The men winked at Chu Xian before swimming off in another direction.
Chu Xian laughed helplessly, and then dived down with Yan Wenwen.
Normal people could not dive more than ten meters without special equipment, and Yan Wenwen was not the best swimmer. She could only swim very slowly, and a helpless Chu Xian could only reach out a hand to pull her along.
Yan Wenwen smiled at him, and took out her phone. It was covered in a waterproof case, and she turned the phone on and took some pictures of the sea, of their surroundings, and a few pictures of Chu Xian.
Then she asked Chu Xian to take pictures of her.
She handed him her phone, and Chu Xian smiled as he backed away a little and took a few pictures of her.
After that, Yan Wenwen retrieved her phone and swam over beside Chu Xian again. She loped her arms around Chu Xian and took a few pictures of the two of them together, and when she looked at the results, she could not help but laugh.
Chu Xian smiled awkwardly.
“Yi!” At that moment, Chu Xian suddenly felt a group of large animals swimming in their directions.”
“Not sharks. It’s actually a group of dolphins.” Chu Xian focused his sonar, and quickly guessed the identity of these swimming creatures from their body shape and movement.
“They are coming in our direction.” Chu Xian smiled, and patted Yan Wenwen’s shoulder, gesturing that they should head upward.
Yan Wenwen nodded, and followed Chu Xian.
“Some dolphins are heading in our direction.” Chu Xian told her after they surfaced and removed their oxygen masks.
“What?” Dolphins are coming here? Where are they? Should we get onboard?” Yan Wenwen replied in astonishment.
“There’s no need.” Chu Xian smiled. “Dolphins are very friendly creatures, you’ll see. They’re almost here.
Chu Xian pointed off into the distance, and some three meter long dolphins could be seen swimming over, occasionally leaping out of the water.
“Oh, what are those? Ah Wen, Ah Wen, come over here quickly. Get your camera.” Back on the fishing ship, Duan Ke also noticed the dolphins and immediately cried out to his photographer.
“That color, what kind of dolphin is it?” When the five or six dolphins neared, Dean Ke cried out again.
Very quickly, everyone on the fishing ship was gathered around the railing, looking out at the dolphins.
“A pink river dolphin, it’s the very rare pink river dolphin.” One of the actors cried out in astonishment, quickly taking out their phone and taking pictures of it.
“Ah Wen, film carefully. We need to put this in the movie, it will be a fantastic shot.” Duan Ke could not resist clapping. F***, his luck was really good today.
“Yes, Director Duan. We’ve been filming this whole time. The camera drone is also in the air.” Ah Wen nodded.
“Wow, what is that?”
At that moment, Yan Wenwen was still in the water watching the dolphins swim towards them, here eyes wide open in happy surprise.
“It’s an Amazon River Dolphin. Can you see the pink color. They’re also called Pink River Dolphins, and are a very rare type of dolphin.” Chu Xian replied, also pleasantly surprised by their appearance.
“I don’t know if the one I met before is here as well.” Chu Xian thought to himself as the dolphins swam nearer and nearer.
“They’re coming over to us.” Yan Wenwen pointed.
“It’s fine. You should move over a little closer to the ship.” Chu Xian suggested. The dolphins had no fear of them, and directly swam over to the humans.
Chu Xian swam over to the dolphin’s side, and took out his phone to take a video of them together.
“Pong!”
But, to his great surprise, one of the grey dolphins jumped out lightly and swam over to him, bonking him lightly in the nose. Immediately, the other dolphins also surrounded him.
“F*** me, does my charm work cross pieces as well.” Chu Xian thought in astonishment as he patted the dolphins around him.
Some of the dolphins surrounding him circled his body, and one swam underneath him and put him on its back.
“I remember. The last time I came out I saw a couple of you. I remember this little pink dolphin very clearly.”
Chu Xian looked at the dolphins and began to laugh. He didn’t care if they could understand him or not, and happily spoke to them.
“Go, that way.” Chu Xian pointed a direction to the grey dolphin carrying him.
The dolphin seemed to understand Chu Xian’s gesture and swam in the direction he had pointed.
“Wow!”
The people on the ship were stunned. What the f*** was going on? Why were the dolphins so friendly with him?
“So handsome!” The nearby Yan Wenwen said to herself in astonishment.
“Alright, you guys can hang out here in the future. Don’t go to other places, you understand? Especially not over there.”
Chu Xian patted the dolphins head affectionately, and pointed in the direction of Japan and shook his hand.
“What the fuck!”
But suddenly, the dolphin underneath him leaped into the air, and the started Chu Xian hurriedly grabbed onto the dolphin’s body.
