Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Fu Ming made a bold guess, and Fu Wan shook her head, "I don't know. Bring me a hand net and I'll find out!"

After saying this, Fang Min immediately picked up the hand-scooped net and handed it over.

Fu Wan called out to the killer whales to move aside, and was about to reach out her hand net towards the place where the sound came from, but the next second, Fugui jumped into the water with a splash, and swam to the bottom of the boat without looking back.

"It doesn't look like it's an enemy, no, an enemy turtle."

Fu Wan muttered to herself, and after thinking for a while, she simply put the hand net away.

Since Fugui had already swam over, if she continued to use the hand net, it would be bad if Fugui was entangled.

Everyone stared at the sea for two full minutes. Just when Fu Wan was feeling unsure and was considering whether to go down to take a look, Fugui finally poked his head out from the bottom of the boat.

After taking a look and confirming that the group of killer whales were not near the boat, but were playing more than ten meters away from the boat, Fugui turned around and disappeared from everyone's sight again, and then reappeared soon.

This time it wasn't just him who showed up, there was also Huakai, whom everyone missed. What surprised Fu Wan was that behind Huakai, there was actually a turtle following!

What's going on? They haven't seen each other for just a few months, and already there's a third party in their little family?

The turtle was obviously also a hawksbill turtle, but when the turtle swam to the side of the boat, Fu Wan realized that her previous guess was wrong.

What third party? Huakai is bringing his people to ask for help!

The sea turtle didn't show its head just now, and the sea water was a little turbid because of the killer whales playing around just now. Fu Wan didn't see clearly that the turtle's head was covered with dense barnacles!

Even its mouth is covered with dense barnacles!

The moment she saw it clearly, Fu Wan's scalp went numb and goose bumps appeared all over her body.

Oh my god, this must hurt!

No wonder the turtle is also a hawksbill turtle, but the patterns on its body are not as bright as Fugui and Huakai. The whole turtle even swims slowly and looks listless.

"Oh my god, what's in that turtle's mouth!"

Fu Ming also saw the miserable state of the parasitic sea turtle. Ye Lin rubbed his arms and said honestly, of all the marine creatures, what he hated most was the barnacles. These things looked even more disgusting than the apple snail eggs by the river in Qingshan Village!

"Don't be afraid, dear. I'll pull you out and save you."

Fu Wan lowered her voice to comfort the turtle, and before the turtle could react, she hurriedly pulled the frightened turtle back onto the deck.

After fishing it out, everyone could see the turtle's miserable condition more clearly.

In fact, it's not just the head and mouth, but even the underside of the turtle's neck and its limbs.

It's just that the limbs have not been completely parasitized yet, but if Fu Wan does not take action, the turtle may be completely parasitized by barnacles in less than a month, making it unable to move and forage, and eventually starve to death.

Fu Wan hurriedly pulled out the dagger she carried with her, ready to help the turtle remove all the barnacles.

However, this turtle was much less courageous than the rich flower. Seeing this posture, it was instantly frightened and flapped its limbs that could still move around.

Seeing this, Fu Wan quickly put down the knife and picked up the turtle to comfort it.

"Don't be afraid, little one. I don't mean to hurt you. It's just that it's very uncomfortable for you to have these barnacles parasitizing on your body. Once I pick them off, you can swim freely and eat your food well."

After saying that, Fu Wan was still worried that it didn't understand, so she carried it to Fugui and Huakai.

Just after Fu Wan carried the turtle onto the deck, Fugui and Huakai also returned to the deck with the help of Ye Lin, Fu Ming and others.

As soon as he got on the deck, Fugui immediately crawled to the place where he had just eaten fish, and brought all the fish that he had left, no, that he had not had time to eat, in front of Huakai.

Huakai didn't mind and ate it with relish.

“Fugui, Huakai, please talk to your friend, I won’t hurt it.

I know you brought it here to save him, but removing the barnacles will definitely be painful, so please talk to it!"

As Fu Wan was speaking, Fu Haishun and Fu Mancang began to have doubts in their hearts.

This is a sea turtle. Can it understand human language?

Tom thought so too, but the next second, Fugui and Huakai's actions made them open their eyes wide.

After Fu Wan finished speaking, she placed the turtle next to Fugui and Huakai.

Fugui first touched the turtle's head with his head, as if they were communicating. The turtle shrank its head and still looked a little scared.

Fugui shook his head and was about to continue persuading when Huakai looked up, raised his front paw impatiently, and slapped the turtle so hard that it spun half a circle on the spot.

This action scared everyone, not to mention the turtle. Fugui didn't dare to move anymore, but pushed the fish in front of Huakai more carefully.

Fu Ming was amazed by the look.

However, Huakai's violent behavior was still effective. At least after this, when Fu Wan picked up the turtle again, it didn't move around anymore, but its head was still shaking a little, and it looked a little scared.

It’s normal to think about being afraid. After all, in the world of sea turtles, humans look strange and are so tall that it’s not an exaggeration to call them monsters.

Fu Wan could also understand the turtle's fear. She tried to move her hands as lightly as possible and pried the barnacles off the turtle's legs with the back of a knife.

Perhaps it was because Fu Wan's movements were very light, or perhaps the turtle felt that the barnacles were no longer on its legs. When Fu Wan began to clean the barnacles on its head, the turtle became very cooperative.

The barnacles on the head are actually easy to clean. When Fu Wan was cleaning the barnacles on the head, Fu Ming and Ye Lin couldn't bear to watch and helped clean the barnacles on the turtle's neck and forelimbs.

It is no exaggeration to say that after cleaning and putting together, those barnacles weigh at least two or three pounds.

"Barnacles are really annoying, just like the mosquitoes and flies we have in the summer, we can never get rid of them!"

Fu Ming frowned and complained in a low voice, while Ye Lin nodded in agreement.

"I think it's more than that. Mosquitoes and flies just run away after sucking their fill. This thing looks like a leech in the ground to me. No, it's even scarier than a leech!"

Leeches will not reproduce in patches on humans, but barnacles grow in the wind and can form a large patch in just a few days.

As they were talking, the barnacles on the turtle's body had been almost cleaned. Fu Wan didn't dare to use the back of a knife to remove the barnacles in its mouth, so she could only ask Dong Haiyang to help her find a small pair of pliers from his toolbox, and then she clamped the barnacles one by one and pulled them out.

It would be impossible to remove all the barnacles without bleeding. After all the barnacles were removed, Fu Wan asked Fang Min to bring the spare medicine box and simply disinfect the bleeding area of ​​the turtle with iodine.

There was no other way. This was how the locals treated wounds. Fu Wan was not a veterinarian, so she didn't dare use mercurochrome or gentian violet on the turtle.

Without the barnacles, the turtle's crawling speed instantly became much faster.

It first crawled slowly for two steps, and then found that its whole body was light, so it immediately sped up and crawled towards the direction of the blooming rich flowers.
