Chapter 127 Collective Rescue (Please subscribe)

 What surprised Li Duoyu was.

 The belly of the whale moved on its own, which made everyone realize that it was a mother sperm whale, and there was a living baby whale in its belly.

 From a certain perspective, sperm whales are still in competition with fishermen. Wherever sperm whales pass, fish stocks will disappear.

And the amount of marine fish eaten by sperm whales in one day is even more terrifying. An adult sperm whale can even eat a ton of food in one day.

Even old fishermen like my uncle fell silent after it was revealed that there was a baby whale in the belly of the whale.

Many people present also felt sorry. When they thought of cutting open the whale, there would still be a baby whale inside, which instantly made them feel a little uncomfortable.

Li Duoyu thought for a while and said: "How about we try to save it. It would be best if we can save it. If we can't save it, we will pull it down."

Li Duoyu simply said that he did not think the villagers would support his approach.

And the difficulty of rescuing this sperm whale is too great. He definitely can't do it alone anyway.

 Faced with Li Duoyu's remarks, the Zhao brothers, who now only want to make money, were naturally unhappy.

 The reason why they are willing to spend time here is to wait for the whale to die, and then eat more whale meat and sell it to city residents who have never eaten whale meat.

This time Zhao Dahai finally mustered up the courage:

“Brother Yu, you’ve already called the Fisheries Bureau, so there’s no need to save it. This whale is dead, so we can share some of its meat.”

 And Zhao Dahai just finished speaking.

An aunt next to me scolded: "Zhao Dahai, do you have any sympathy? Didn't you see that there is still a baby in the belly of the whale?"

 Some women also echoed: "There is no sympathy at all, no wonder I can't get a wife."

Zhao Dahai almost wanted to curse, but when he thought about this group of women, there might be their future mother-in-law.

 I endured it on the spot.

 Seeing that everyone had differences, uncle Li Niantian shouted to the surrounding villagers:

“Everyone, listen to me first. Whale meat is indeed not delicious and cannot be sold for much money. There is no need to kill the whale now.”

"Otherwise, let us try to save the whale with Duoyu first. If we really can't save it, we will share the whale meat, and our family won't take a piece. Let's see if it works."

 Li Duoyu then said: "I don't want it either."

The uncle was originally the captain of the fishing team and was quite prestigious among the fishermen. After hearing what he said, everyone stopped arguing.

 A fisherman who had been in the fishing team before said first: "Okay, we will listen to the captain."

The second uncle, who had already cleaned the dry tobacco pole, lit up the cigarette again, and said: "I have been fishing for a lifetime, but I have never saved a fish. I might as well give it a try today."

 “If you want to save the fish, I’ll come too.”

 “Forget it, I’ll join in too.”

What Li Duoyu didn’t expect was that in addition to themselves, more than 20 villagers decided to participate in the sperm whale rescue.

 The Zhao brothers were dumbfounded.

How could there be so many fools, why would they save the fish if it was left alone?

 The group of people all looked at Li Duoyu.

 The leading uncle asked: "There are many fish, how should we save them next?"

Li Duoyu was stunned on the spot.

 In his previous life, he had never even seen a sperm whale with his own eyes. At most, he only watched short videos and saw the rescue in Zhoushan.

How do you know how to save me?

 Looking at everyone staring at him, Li Duoyu, who was pushed out of the market, decided to become a doctor.

“First find something to cover the whale to prevent it from being dehydrated by the sun.”

“And... everyone, go back and get buckets and hoes. We have to keep watering the whales, and dig a mud hole for the whales to lie in.”

Hearing that something needed to be covered, cousin Li Shuguang took the lead and said: "Duoyu, can my tarpaulin used to cover fishing boats work?"

 Li Duoyu, who had only half a bucket of water, didn't know so much, so he directly replied: "Yes, as long as it can be covered."

 “Then I’ll go back and get it now.”

After hearing Li Duoyu’s instructions, everyone seemed very motivated and every movement was very neat. Many fishermen went back to get buckets and hoes.

 Seeing how serious everyone is, Li Duoyu feels that since he chooses to save it, he must go all out.

He asked Little Fatty to look at the ambergris first, and then used the bucket he brought to scoop up the surrounding sea water and pour it on the whale.

 Fortunately, this is a tidal flat, which is not as dry as the beach. In addition, the tide has just gone out, so if you step **** the tidal flat, you can make a puddle.

Li Duoyu kept scooping up sea water and splashing it on the sperm whale to cool it down as much as possible.

 After splashing continuously for about ten minutes.

 The dying sperm whale regained some vitality and made a faint cry. It seems that splashing water to cool down is still very effective.

 And its cry.

˜ which triggered a response from a group of whales not far away, and the long whale call echoed over the island.

Not long after, many fishermen who went back to get their tools came over on mud horses.

Everyone also imitated Li Duoyu, scooping up water and pouring it on the whale. Some people covered the sperm whale with mud, which would help the sperm whale moisturize.

To Li Duoyu's surprise, his father actually came and helped Li Shuguang transport his large tarpaulin on a large mud horse.

 After seeing the tarpaulin coming.

Li Duoyu originally wanted to cover the sperm whale directly, but he looked around and found that they were all covered with his own bamboo piles and there were a lot of ropes.

 Just change the way of thinking.

He pulled out a few moso bamboos as pillars, and worked together to prop up the tarpaulin brought by his cousin and turned it into a big tent.

 Under the tent.

Li Duoyu felt that the temperature dropped by three or four degrees instantly.

Maybe it was because the sperm whale felt that these fishermen were helping it, so it cooperated very well and did not move or slap its tail from beginning to end.

Only occasionally make a faint sound, as if communicating with a sperm whale in the sea. The villagers with hoes dug away the mud around the whale, trying to keep the whale's body in the water.

Digging a hole in a tidal flat is really difficult because the mud is very sticky, so it requires some skills. When digging, pull up and shake the mud out.

 After about two hours of this, most of the whale's body was soaked in sea water, and the whale's body became very wet.

 As for this, everyone has tried their best, but there are still six full hours before high tide.

After some villagers finished helping, they did not continue to wait and evacuated early. Lao Li also carried Li Haoran back after playing with the mud for a long time.

 Hands on with the ambergris.

 He had to go back and get some food for Li Duoyu, who continued to hold his position, and his eldest brother.

 …

Just an hour ago, Lao Zhuang had arrived at the Fisheries Bureau and reported the situation to the person in charge of the bureau.

Faced with this situation, the person in charge of the Fisheries Bureau also called his superiors for instructions.

 The reply was:

We brought experts from the Fisheries Research Institute to rescue the sperm whales as much as possible. At the same time, reporters were sent down urgently.

 I plan to film the process of rescuing sperm whales, because in this special era, the country needs to show some positive images internationally.

 As a fishery administration boat arrived at the scene, everyone on the boat was dumbfounded.

They found the stranding site and set up a big tent. They thought the sperm whale had been killed by the villagers.

As a result, the boat took a closer look and found that the stranded sperm whale was protected.

 This made the accompanying "expert" Chen Dongqing confused, feeling that someone had taken away his opportunity to perform again.

There are reporters accompanying him this time. He plans to perform well and hopes to be published in the newspaper.

 Haven’t thought about it…

Although he didn't arrive at the scene, Chen Dongqing had a vague idea of ​​who it was. When he came to the tent, he saw Li Duoyu, who was covered in mud and smoking a cigarette.

Chen Dongqing was too numb to ask. He directly checked the physical condition of the stranded sperm whale and found that it was not very good.

Sperm whales are so heavy fish that they would be difficult to save if they were stranded. Although he is a marine major.

 But their teacher has never taught any knowledge about rescuing whales. He learned most of it from foreign publications.

 When Chen Dongqing noticed the belly of the sperm whale, he was very shocked.

 For a moment, Chen Dongqing seemed to understand why Li Duoyu saved the sperm whale.

 Actually, it was only after he became a father that he suddenly felt this way, that he couldn't help but want to protect the cubs.

After learning that there was a child in the belly of the sperm whale, Lu Xiaoyu, the female reporter who was accompanying him, immediately wrote an article of nearly three to four thousand words in his mind.

 Following.

The female reporter didn’t care whether the sperm whale was saved or not, but first asked everyone to stand and take pictures.

 And his intuition told Li Duoyu that no matter whether the whale was saved or not, he would definitely report it, thinking of the villagers who helped just now.

“Don’t rush to take pictures now. There were many people helping us just now. Let’s call them.”

 Female reporter Lu Xiaoyu replied: “Okay, no problem, the more people, the better.”

Li Duoyu hurriedly went to find the villagers who had just helped save the sperm whale.

 About half an hour later.

More than thirty people stood in front of the sperm whale and took a group photo.

In order to save the sperm whale, Li Duoyu and his team kept pouring water on the sperm whale repeatedly until night fell, and then they removed the tarp.

 On this day, the fourteenth day of the lunar calendar, the moon is very round.

 The tide is also very strong.

Most of the people watching had already withdrawn, but Li Duoyu and Chen Dongqing were sitting on a sampan boat with the female reporter.

 The female reporter wanted to use her camera to record the moment when the whale was actually rescued.

 About the same, around ten o'clock in the evening.

The tide rose to the place where the sperm whale was stranded. The female whale flapped her tail vigorously several times, twisted her body, and made a faint whale call.

 “She” is called.

 Many sperm whales immediately responded on the sea surface, and many villagers on Dandan Island who had fallen asleep were awakened by the happy cries of whales that night.

But what Li Duoyu was worried about still happened. The tide rose, but the mother whale made no movement.

 After seeing this situation.

 Chen Dongqing couldn't help but sigh, feeling it was a pity.

To everyone's surprise, a smaller sperm whale risked his life and swam to the beached sperm whale.

 Using its huge head, it pushed the weak female whale toward the deep sea.

 It lasted about ten minutes.

The female whale was finally pushed into the deep sea, and the whale floated up. The accompanying female reporter took a very precious photo of this scene.

 At night, under the light of the moon.

The sea surface of Dandan Island is very bright, exuding a faint silver light, and a group of whales cheer there and emit melodious whale calls.

A small sperm whale circled their small sampan several times, and then made a leap not far from them, with half of its body exposed from the sea, as if to express its gratitude to them.

After the female whale was rescued, the pod of whales stayed here for nearly half an hour before continuing to their destination.

 See this scene.

 Li Duoyu is also sincerely happy for the decision he made before.

I wrote until three o'clock in the morning, and changed it to three thirty in the morning. Please subscribe and vote for me.
