"Turtle, turtle, can you save me when you return from the sea? Why are you rolling your eyes? Can a turtle still roll your eyes?" Ye Yaodong walked with his rice bowl and scooped up the rice.
The fishing boat was swaying while sailing, and he had managed to eat while walking without moving.
"There is a rope wrapped around its neck, and it doesn't seem to be rolling its eyes. Haha, I thought about it myself, but it looks like rolling its eyes. The eyes seem to be swollen."
"You know your eyes are swollen?"
"Uh...what other people said...we also saw the turtles shed tears."
Ye Yaodong had already seen it. The turtle lay motionless on the cover of the fish bin, allowing the workers to watch and touch it casually. Looking at it, he felt that there was more air coming out and less air coming in.
My eyes were indeed swollen, and the areas around them were red. I was still shedding tears, and everyone looked at me in wonder.
At this time, a worker was already holding a pair of scissors, and then he was holding the thread on its neck and cutting it off one by one. There were quite a few threads, all of which were nylon threads.
The neck was already bleeding from strangulation, and some areas were scabbed and cracked, and the skin was torn and it hurt to look at it.
Two more people were scraping the barnacles off its back.
The workers next to me were also eager to try, trying to compete for the work, and talking all over the place.
"Can you let me do it for a while? Prime Minister Turtle will go home and report to the Sea Dragon King, and he will also bless me when the time comes."
"Stop talking nonsense..."
Ye Yaodong clicked his tongue twice, "If we hadn't fished it out, it would have been strangled to death in a few days."
"Definitely, it's bleeding from the strangulation, and it's all grown together with the flesh. I just pulled it lightly, and a lot of blood came out."
"The wound must have healed and been cut in again. Some of the threads have grown into the skin."
"hiss……"
Ye Yaodong took a breath and touched his neck. His neck must not be able to withstand the torture.
"Are you okay? Look at its turtle head swinging from side to side. It must hurt. Give me a try..."
"Don't make any noise..."
Seeing that the workers were still bickering and trying to get something done, the fishing nets were confiscated and the last batch of goods was almost picked. There was not much on the fish bin cover, so Ye Yaodong spoke up.
"If your hands are itchy, use a brush to brush the soil off its body, or pour some sea water on it to prevent it from drying out. Others are doing whatever they are supposed to do. What can you see if they are all gathered here?
Come to the Hall of Fame."
"I'm curious, it actually followed our boat."
"This shows that you are spiritual and know how to ask for help."
"With such a big wound on the neck, if you put it in the sea, will it be soaked in salt water and die of pain?"
"Then I don't know."
“Can we keep it in a live barn?”
Ye Yaodong thought about it and thought it would be okay. He could raise it for a few days and then release it back to the sea. It wouldn't starve to death anyway.
"Then take care of it for a few days."
A few workers who had nothing to do for the time being and were so idle actually took brushes and rags and started decorating the turtle.
The bathhouse workers were not as dedicated and meticulous as they were. They turned over and brushed all the limbs and wiped them clean, leaving no gaps in the turtle shell.
"I don't know whether you can serve them like this when your biological father is old."
Seeing how dedicated they were, Ye Yaodong teased them while eating their rice bowls.
"That's definitely not possible. My mother is here."
"So you came here to be a turtle son, right..."
"Hahahahaha..."
The workers burst into laughter.
"That's the blessing of this old turtle..."
"How long have you been offline? You seem to be very free." He asked.
"It's been four hours, right? The Internet should be up soon, right? Waiting for the notification."
"We're not busy. We just finished drying the dried squid, shredded squid, and even freshly sliced ​​tuna."
Ye Yaodong responded, "I'll take some more sunshine when I have time, and when I get back to the shore, I'll bring some home for you to eat."
"Okay, Brother Dong is so generous."
"You guys also helped me dry them. I don't have many things, so I can bring some back to my family for a taste. Isn't it just for my family to live a good life by working so hard to make money?"
"Hehe, Brother Dong, you are really good at talking. I was so moved when I heard it that I almost wanted to work for you."
"Bullshit."
Ye Yaodong took the last bite of rice and put the bowls and chopsticks back on the countertop, leaving them for them to clean up.
And he went up to ask his old cousin when the net would be closed.
His old cousin still smiled innocently, "Isn't it because I want you to wake up and want to wait for your notification?"
"Okay, they said it has been raining for more than four hours. Have they detected a large number of fish during this period?"
"Yes, I have encountered dense red dots several times. Anyway, there are always small green and yellow dots. It is not empty as you mentioned, so there should be a lot of goods, right?"
"Then start an Internet cafe."
If you can't detect anything in the empty space, you need to look for it. That's in the future. Nowadays, resources are abundant and the creatures in the ocean are crowded.
"Then I'll inform them. Do you still want me here?"
"Come on, I haven't slept enough. I just got up to take a look if I don't feel relieved, and then I'll squint for a while."
"good."
He wasn't that worried, and he was also worried about something happening. If he couldn't sleep well, he would get up and take a look. He had just eaten and needed to move around, so he would lie down and take a nap later.
Let's take a look at how they are taking care of the turtle.
As soon as they heard that the net was ready to be set up, everyone started to move.
Ye Yaodong went down to the deck again to watch them busy at work.
Just one day after they came out, they divided themselves into two groups, with a clear division of labor and assigned tasks.
The turtle had been neatly tidied up by them, as if it had a second spring in its life. It looked fresh and healthy, not as shabby as it was just now.
Moreover, the wound on the neck was also taken care of. I don’t know where they tore a strip of red cloth from, and tied a bow around the neck, making it look like a tie. It felt really good.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed the bow, and the turtle immediately turned to look at him, "Are you doing all kinds of tricks in your spare time?"
"Brother Dong, let's carry it to the deck together, otherwise the fish bag will be untied and a bunch of goods will fall down."
"Um."
The turtle was crawling around as soon as it reached the deck, and no one had time to take care of it. They were all busy and had important business.
Ye Yaodong didn't look at it either, thinking that he wouldn't be able to climb very far, so he didn't need to worry about it.
But when he was carrying a basket of useless goods that had been sorted by everyone and was about to dump them into the sea, he suddenly saw the turtle running away.
It lost its tired look just now, and its four fins kept pulling and pulling on the deck, simulating a swimming posture, moving its chubby limbs, and secretly crawled to the back deck. The speed seemed to be not slow.
He was hesitating whether to stop it and wait until the wound was better before leaving, but the turtle had already climbed to the edge of the back deck impatiently.
It also looked back at him, nodded as if to say hello, then continued to move its limbs, and with a "plop", it fell into the sea.
"She's quite spiritual and knows how to sneak away."
In the past few years, Ye Yaodong has encountered turtles every year, and they have been close to each other, but in different ways. He has felt that this thing is really spiritual.
Moreover, he could meet turtles every year, which he felt had a good meaning, as he would be able to return from the sea every year and have a safe journey home.
Just go back when you go back, maybe you heard they wanted to keep it and raise it, so you ran away first.
He lifted the basket of groceries in his hand and continued to pour it into the sea.
But when he finished pouring it and was about to go back and continue loading it, he saw the big sea turtle under the water eating the stuff he poured back into the sea.
The red strip of cloth around the neck is particularly conspicuous, and you can recognize it at a glance as the one that escaped.
After it finished eating, it surfaced again and moved slowly, as if following it leisurely, basking in the sun.
The workers never noticed that the turtle had escaped. It was Ye Yaodong who watched the turtle disappear before he turned back to tell everyone.
Everyone felt a little sorry.
"It's ruthless to pull it out... Fortunately, I wiped it clean just now. My father didn't even enjoy this blessing."
"Tell your dad when you get back that your dad is worse than a turtle."
"It shows that you are a good son of a bitch."
"You are a fool if you step on the horse..."
"It doesn't matter, as long as it's not Mr. Turtle..."
"Hahahaha... you bastard."
"The bastard is the son of a turtle..."
Ye Yaodong even laughed at their teasing. His Chinese language was profound and profound.
He listened to everyone's teasing and did not miss any work, and his cousin did not make any mistakes. Everyone cooperated very well, so he said hello to everyone and went back to the cabin to catch up on his sleep with peace of mind.
