Chapter 139: Island Maru

On the wide sea, a large 10,000-ton ship is breaking through the waves, and around it there are seagulls flying continuously, making the sound of "Europe and Europe".
This is the whaling boat of the island Maru, because this whaling boat is very large, like an island, so it is named after it.
As a whaling mother ship, the Shimamaru is not equipped with other whaling sub-ships, because there is a whaling gun at the bow of the ship, which can kill whales on its own.
This large ship has been traveling on the sea for half a month, and it has caught many whales along the way. Those whales have been stripped of fat and dismembered to make whale oil and whale meat products.
On the deck, many crew members leaned on the railing to look into the distance, and some were counting the seagulls flying overhead.
Masaichi Yoshida is one of the seagulls. He has counted 45 seagulls.
But just then, a sea breeze blew across from him, which made his eyes blink several times at once. After that, he could no longer distinguish which seagulls in the sky he had counted.
Seeing this, he had no choice but to spread his hands, and then put a glass of orange juice beside him to serve, and took a sip.
"Zhengyi, how are you still used to it?"
It was also at this time that there was a hearty voice next to Masaichi Yoshida, followed by a middle-aged man who was older than him.
"Senior Noda."
Yoshida's expression was conscientious. The seaman in front of him was his father's old knowledge. The reason why he was able to become a crew on the Shimanomaru was also the recommendation of the senior Noda.
"Thanks to you, I feel that everything is fine."
Noda Taro came across and smiled and said: "Many people will not perform well when they first board the ship, but you are very good."
"It seems that you are a natural crew."
Encouraging a sentence, Taro Noda walked beside Masahiro Yoshida and leaned on the side of the ship, saying to the latter: "Has been out for half a month, are you homesick?"
"Your dad said you just married your wife not long after."
Hearing Noda Taro talking about this, Yoshida looked at the distance, took a breath, and smiled, "A bit, but I think I can persevere."
Noda Taro patted his shoulder and said: "This time we have a good harvest. After returning to Hong Kong, we crew will get a lot of money."
"Going to sea is very hard, but if you are lucky, you will earn a lot."
It is said that Yoshida ’s expression is also excited. Why did he choose to go overseas to make money to support his family?
Otherwise, who would be willing to leave his new wife at home alone?
"Hahaha, just one, and in another half month, our ship is estimated to be returning, and maybe you will see your wife holding a bunch of flowers waiting for you at the port."
Yoshida imagined the picture in his mind, and felt very beautiful, with a look of longing on his face.
"Big fish! Big fish!"
It was at this time that there was a burst of excitement at the lookout.
After Noda Taro and Yoshida were hearing this sound, they immediately looked towards the lookout tower. Only there was a crew standing in front of the telescope, yelling excitedly.
"Zhengyi, be prepared. It seems that we have another goal."
Noda Taro was also a little bit excited. The more whales he caught, the more income they would earn.
"Full speed ahead!"
At this time, a rich man suddenly yelled with a horn and watched him dressed, is the captain of this whaling ship.
Yoshida ’s gaze withdrew from the captain, and then looked in front of them, only to see that in front of them, there were two black shadows moving forward struggling.
From time to time, from the back of these two shadows, there was a mist of water spraying out.
"Two whales!"
Yoshida is waving his fist, looking very excited.
Not only him, the other crew members also cheered at this time. As they got closer to the target, the two shadows on the opposite side also fell into their vision more clearly.
These are two big fish.
One of them is extremely large, with a size above 15 meters, while the other is only about 5 meters, which is a small whale, but even so, it looks very deterrent.
"It's a humpback whale."
Noda Taro deserves to be an experienced seaman, but just glanced over there to recognize the identity of the two whales.
At this time, the two whales in front of them were about 100 meters away. The two whales obviously suffocated on the bottom of the sea, so they could not sink into the sea for a while.
They have to breathe enough fresh air.
"The gunner is ready!"
The captain above the deck was holding a yellow flag at the moment, and there was a loud cry in his mouth. At the same time, a crew member was aiming the launcher at the opposite side of the fort A larger humpback whale.
The current whaling ships have been updated for a long time ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Unlike before, you have to drive a boat to chase those whales, and then pierce the fishing fork into their flesh.
Now they are shooting with whaling guns.
However, the range of the whaling guns is generally only 30 meters to 60 meters, so they must continue to approach the two humpback whales ahead.
Closer, closer, closer.
I saw that at this time, they were only 50 meters away from the two humpback whales in front of them. The crew on the other side of the fort was already ready to fire a whaling gun.
"emission!"
At this time, the captain not far away suddenly shouted, and the gunner directly fired the whaling gun.
The whaling artillery swished across the distance of nearly 50 meters, and then even hit the humpback whale, which was bigger.
Only with a "bang" sound, the whaling artillery plunged into the flesh of the humpback whale, and a thick stream of blood spewed out from between its wounds, which suddenly stained a large area of ​​sea.
"Woo!"
From the mouth of this humpback whale, a whimpering whale sounded, its brain was hit hard, and it could no longer continue to swim forward, and the body had a tendency to sink.
The small humpback whale beside him didn't escape at the moment, but surrounded the big humpback whale and flicked the big humpback whale with his head, not letting It flips past.
From the mouth of this small humpback whale, there are also waves of whales, which seem extremely sad.
But on the island Maru on the opposite side, there was a scene of joy and encouragement.
"it is good!!"
When everyone saw the gunner hit, they were all screaming excitedly, including Masaichi Yoshida and Taro Noda.
