My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 64 An Unexpected Way of Meeting

"Wow, what a huge sea turtle!"

Yu Muzhou gripped the gunwale, staring wide-eyed at the sea, his voice filled with surprise and curiosity.

"Zhou Miao, what's going on here? Why are you riding a sea turtle?"

On the sea, Zhou Miao was clumsily trying to maintain his balance while clinging to the shell of a giant sea turtle.

He wiped the seawater off his face and snapped back, "Don't talk nonsense! That stuff is even worse than prostitutes. What's with all the 'three-way' stuff? Whoever wants it can have it!"

"Pfft~" Yu Muzhou couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Who the hell is talking to you about taking Cantonese as an elective at John's University? I'm asking a serious question, why are you acting like a turtle on its back?"

Zhou Miao adjusted his posture, trying to make sure he was seated securely on the tortoise's back: "I don't know either! This thing suddenly appeared in front of me, and before I could even react, it was carrying me on its back!"

"Judging from its posture, it keeps swimming forward, as if it's taking me somewhere."

He could not possibly know the true intentions of the giant sea turtle, but at this moment he needed to throw out this hook to pique Yu Muzhou's curiosity.

He would only follow them in his boat to find out what was going on if he was interested.

Moreover, the sea turtle's behavior was indeed strange; it kept its head down and kept moving forward, completely ignoring the fishing boats approaching nearby.

"This is interesting. Since we're just killing time anyway, let's follow along and see what happens." Yu Muzhou stood to the right of the cabin door, operating the rudder as he slowly followed along.

Seeing that Zhou Miao was not in any danger, Lu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Then they kept a close eye on the person and the turtle to prevent the turtle from suddenly diving and leaving the person behind.

"Ah Miao, this should be a leatherback sea turtle, right?" There was no signal at sea, so Yu Muzhou couldn't use his phone to check. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly remembered some information about the sea turtle.

"It should be a leatherback sea turtle, the largest sea turtle in the ocean." Zhou Miao wasn't entirely sure either.

After all, what normal person would pay special attention to information about sea turtles? In any case, sea turtles are all protected animals, and we shouldn't harm them.

"Tsk tsk, it's really big. I've been carrying you for so long and I'm not tired at all." Yu Muzhou operated his phone with one hand, snapping several photos of the man and the turtle in the sea. After all, the scene was indeed quite exotic.

Zhou Miao carefully examined the turtle's shell: "It can carry a mountain of barnacles for decades, so what's my hundred-plus pounds? But there seem to be traces of barnacles being removed from this turtle's shell, so it must have had contact with humans."

"No wonder he's not afraid of people, nor is he afraid of my ship getting close."

Zhou Miao didn't reply; it was too tiring to shout.

He sat on the turtle's back for what seemed like an eternity until a black dot appeared in his field of vision.

The sea turtle kept swimming towards the black dot, as if its final destination was there.

Zhou Miao immediately perked up and shouted to Yu Muzhou, "Brother Zhou, quickly use your binoculars to take a look. The sea turtle's destination might just be that island over there."

Yu Muzhou nodded and asked Lu Xiaoxiao to fetch the binoculars.

When he looked towards the island, he immediately showed a surprised expression: "Hey, there seem to be people on that island!"

Someone's there!!!

A surge of joy welled up in Zhou Miao's heart!

Could his guess be correct?

"Quick, look who it is!"

He immediately shouted towards the fishing boat, his anxious tone surprising both Yu Muzhou and Lu Xiaoxiao.

It's normal for people to live on a deserted island; fishermen might go there from time to time to gather resources.

Therefore, they all found Zhou Miao's urgency at this moment very strange.

However, as the distance grew closer, Yu Muzhou could see things more and more clearly.

He seemed to have witnessed something incredible, which made his expression very strange.

He put down his binoculars and looked at Lu Xiaoxiao, who had been watching Zhou Miao closely, and thought it couldn't be such a coincidence!

But he still told them what he saw: "There was a person standing on the beach waving at us, a bit like the protagonist in a survival movie, asking a passing fishing boat for help."

"What?!?" Lu Xiaoxiao, who hadn't paid much attention before, turned her head in shock, seemingly thinking of her own brother.

When she saw Yu Muzhou hand her the binoculars, she immediately picked them up and looked towards the deserted island.

The next moment, she covered her mouth, her eyes turned red at a visible speed, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Brother...it's my brother!"

Although he couldn't hear what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Zhou Miao knew who the person on the deserted island was just by looking at her expression.

He was also filled with excitement. Money... no, Lu Xingyu was still alive.

He was already in despair when he discovered the shipwreck.

but......

Zhou Miao gently touched the tortoise shell beneath him: "Thank you for bringing us here!"

Such a spiritual sea turtle made him suspect that his good brother was saved by this sea turtle.

On the other side, Lu Xingyu was moved to tears!

After several days, the trap I made has only caught three tiny fish, each about the size of a thumb.

And the "godfather" went back to his old ways, sending over a fish of uncertain size every night.

Although he managed to maintain the energy needed to survive, he could feel his body getting weaker day by day.

Today, Lu Xingyu had run out of dried octopus and was in despair. But unexpectedly, after running out of food in the afternoon, things took a turn for the better.

A fishing boat headed straight for the deserted island.

This was the first time he had seen a ship in so many days, and his excitement was beyond words.

Especially when he saw a small figure waving at him from the boat, clearly having spotted him, his heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, slowly calmed down. He was finally, damn it, alive!

However, the closer the ship got, the more he felt something was wrong.

There seems to be something not far from the ship that can move directly on the sea surface?

Lu Xingyu rubbed his eyes in disbelief. It wasn't a hallucination, so he had actually time-traveled?

But as he got closer and saw the person waving at him from the boat, he stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Xiaoxiao!!!"

I never expected that it would be my own sister who came looking for me.

The strange thing that was moving on the surface of the sea was actually his good brother Zhou Miao, who was wearing a diving suit.

I just don't know what my good brother was riding in; it looked really strange.

Seeing the joy of his loved ones made him instantly forget about the question.

After enduring so many days of despair while surviving on a deserted island, Lu Xingyu, who was finally rescued, could no longer hold back his emotions.

Her waving hand slowly fell to her sides, her lips trembled, and her sunken eyes quickly filled with tears.

Seeing the fishing boat approaching the reef area, his previously weak body suddenly surged with strength, making him run frantically in that direction.

Zhou Miao had already moved from the sea turtle's back to the fishing boat. Because the sea turtle was slow, they couldn't wait to go over to Lu Xingyu after spotting him.

So the fishing boat sped off, quickly leaving the sea turtle far behind.

As soon as the fishing boat docked, Lu Xiaoxiao hurriedly got off the boat, used her hands and feet to climb over the reef area, and ran towards Lu Xingyu, who was exhausted and slowly moving towards her.

"elder brother!"

"Xiaoxiao!"

Seeing his younger sister run over, Lu Xingyu stood still and stretched out his hands to her.

But Lu Xiaoxiao stopped in front of him and looked him up and down.

Seeing his tattered clothes, his tanned skin, and his emaciated frame, my heart ached so badly I felt like I was suffocating, and tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

"Why are you crying! You should be happy to see that your brother is still alive." Lu Xingyu wanted to wipe away his sister's tears, but when he raised his hand, he found it was dirty and withdrew it.

Lu Xiaoxiao choked up and couldn't speak, she just kept shaking her head, and finally, without caring about his smell of dirt, she stepped forward and gently hugged him.

A relieved smile appeared on Lu Xingyu's face. After all, she was the younger sister he had protected since childhood and raised single-handedly.

No matter what she becomes, she will never despise herself.

At this moment, Zhou Miao had already arrived beside them, without disturbing their reunion.

After a while, Lu Xiaoxiao calmed down and let go of Lu Xingyu, but still held his hand tightly: "Brother, let's go back now, I'll take you to the hospital to get you checked out..."

As she spoke, her voice choked up again.

He was too thin; she couldn't imagine how much suffering her brother had endured during this time.

"Yes, let's get on the boat first, and I'll get you something to eat," Zhou Miao agreed.

"Quickly, let's get back to the ship right away." Lu Xingyu's eyes lit up at the mention of food.

"Can you walk? Do you want me to carry you over?" Zhou Miao looked at him with some concern.

It's only been half a month since I last saw you, and you've already become a human-shaped skeleton.

"It's okay, it's not that bad yet, I can walk by myself." Lu Xingyu shook his head.

As long as he doesn't run, he can walk a few steps without any problem.

Seeing this, Zhou Miao did not force him. Together with Lu Xiaoxiao, they protected him and helped him onto the boat.

At this moment, Yu Muzhou had already set up the induction cooker and pot in the cabin and poured the rinsed rice into the pot, obviously to cook porridge.

Seeing Lu Xingyu arrive on the boat, he stood up and said with a smile, "You guys sit down and rest for a while. I've started cooking porridge, it'll be ready soon."

"Thank you." After saying thank you, Lu Xingyu turned his questioning gaze to Zhou Miao.

Zhou Miao immediately introduced, "This is Brother Zhou, my friend. This boat belongs to him. If Brother Zhou hadn't invited me fishing, I wouldn't have encountered the sea turtle and been forcibly brought here by it."

"Sea turtle?"

Lu Xingyu exclaimed in shock: "Holy crap, did my godfather save me again?"

"Godfather?"

"save?"

The others looked at him with puzzled expressions, waiting for his explanation.

Lu Xingyu didn't explain, but quickly went out of the cabin and looked out at the sea, but found nothing.

"Was it a very large leatherback tortoise that brought you here?"

"Yes, it's a leatherback turtle." Zhou Miao, who came out with Lu Xiaoxiao and Yu Muzhou, nodded.

"Then that's it! He's the 'godfather' I just recognized."

After Lu Xingyu finished speaking, he saw that none of the three of them looked at him strangely. Instead, they seemed to be listening and waiting for his explanation, so he couldn't help but smile.

"I survived because of that giant sea turtle. It rescued me from drowning and brought me to this deserted island. It also feeds me every day; otherwise, I would have been dead when the ship capsized."

"Capsized?" Even though Lu Xingyu was standing perfectly fine in front of her, Lu Xiaoxiao's heart still tightened, and she pressed for an answer, "Brother, what exactly happened?"

Yu Muzhou interjected, "Let's talk about it slowly back in the cabin! Xiaoxiao, you can keep an eye on the rice porridge while I steer the boat back."

Zhou Miao agreed: "Yes, Xingyu should be taken to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible after eating some porridge, in order to avoid any aftereffects. We have plenty of time to talk about it on the way."

Lu Xingyu looked around again but couldn't find the leatherback turtle, so he could only regretfully follow it back to the cabin.

Then she slowly began to tell everyone about her experiences during the time she was missing.

After he finished speaking, Zhou Miao frowned, realizing that there was something else going on.

The group chasing him might be the same illegal gang that customs is investigating; otherwise, they wouldn't have been in such a hurry to have him lead the way to the sunken ship to look for clues last time.

Yu Muzhou was unaware of these matters. After listening, he simply smiled and said, "Given his life-saving grace, calling him godfather is indeed appropriate."

"Yeah, I don't know if we'll ever meet again." Lu Xingyu sighed.

He wanted to repay the kindness, but he didn't know how.

"Brother, when we make money in the future, we'll buy a boat and come here often. If we happen to run into it, we'll see if it needs any help. If not, we'll catch some fish for it," Lu Xiaoxiao said.

"Xiaoxiao is right. For sea turtles, the ocean is their home, and there's not much we can do," Zhou Miao agreed.

At this moment, the rice porridge was almost cooked. Lu Xiaoxiao opened the lid, and a delicate fragrance from high-grade rice rose with the steam.

Zhou Miao and the others didn't find the food particularly delicious after lunch, but Lu Xingyu, who was desperately craving carbohydrates, was practically drooling.

"Xiaoxiao, is the porridge ready?"

Seeing her brother's eagerness, Lu Xiaoxiao said with some concern, "It's ready, but I'll serve it to you and let it cool down a bit before you eat it, so you don't burn yourself."

"Give me a small bowl first, I'll blow on it and eat it myself." Lu Xingyu rubbed his hands together, his eyes fixed on the porridge, swallowing repeatedly.

"Wait a few more minutes. I'll make a small bowl of porridge and put it in front of the air conditioner so it'll be warm for you soon." Zhou Miao understood his urgency but was worried that he might burn himself.

Lu Xingyu knew they were doing it for his own good, so he could only endure it for a few more minutes.

However, those few minutes felt longer to him than waiting for rescue on a deserted island.

It wasn't until Zhou Miao handed him the porridge, which had cooled down considerably, that he happily accepted it and eagerly began to drink it.

He finished a small bowl of porridge in just three sips, licking the bowl clean.

He put down the bowl and let out a heavy sigh of relief: "I'm finally alive!"

The feeling of weakness in my body immediately disappeared.

"Brother, have another small bowl." Lu Xiaoxiao quickly handed him the porridge that had also cooled down in her hand.

Upon seeing this, Yu Muzhou couldn't help but remind him: "Try to eat less. If you've been hungry for too long and then eat too much at once, it's easy to have problems."

"I know, I won't drink anymore after I finish this bowl." Lu Xingyu knew his limits and knew he couldn't eat too much right now.

Zhou Miao leaned back on the sofa and smiled knowingly, turning her gaze to the window, feeling exceptionally relaxed.

My good brother is alright, and he can withdraw the money, so the fish farm will no longer have financial pressure.

Secondly, with his siblings around, he can let go of the management of the fish raft and focus on completing the help-seeking tasks provided by the system.

Therefore, the next step is to buy a fishing boat that can go to the open sea or even the far sea.

Getting a fishing license allows you to fish, and also gives you better access to the system, enabling you to obtain various intelligence and special abilities.

Whether it's fishing or catching fish, Zhou Miao's ultimate goal is to make money so that he and his family can live a better life.

However, what he didn't know was that on the way back, a huge sea turtle slowly followed the fishing boat along the channel it had been traveling.
