Fragrance Returned

The reason why it is said to look like a turtle is because its head and limbs are like a turtle, but its back and belly are not. There were dense things growing on it, which made Lilac's scalp tingle.

It climbed up the rocks and came to Dingxiang's legs. It raised its head and looked at Dingxiang, with tears in its eyes.

When it raised its head, Lilac was sure it was really a turtle. It's probably as big as a washbasin and must be hundreds of years old.

Lilac also saw that the things on its back and belly looked like shells.

Ding Xiang remembered a video she had seen in her previous life, saying that there was a parasitic organism called a barnacle in the sea, which lived exclusively on rocks, under boats, and on animals with hard shells such as turtles and whales. The animals they are attached to are suffering terribly, and some smart animals will ask humans for help.

Those who are lucky can be reborn, but those who are unlucky will become human beings' food.

The big turtle came to ask for help.

This old guy is much cuter than the big guy. She is also smart, not only coming to her for help, but also expressing her emotions to tears.

Ding Xiang's little butt moved to one side to make some space.

The turtle very cleverly crawled up to her.

There are no tools here, so it's impossible to clean it out. Ding Xiang broke off some loosely attached barnacles with her hands.

It is better to find something to do than to sit and be afraid.

Just die, it's not like she hasn't died before. It's just that grandpa, dad, mother and brother will die of discomfort, especially dad, who will not only be sad but also blame himself, and will be beaten to death by grandpa.

If she dies, it will be easier for fake Xunxiang and those bad guys.

As the sun moves westward, Ding Xiang feels more and more uncomfortable. She feels dizzy, hot, thirsty, and hungry. It seems that she will die here in the next moment.

There are gradually more and more silly fish around the reef.

The killer whales were already full and ignored them. It also seemed to feel that the little man's vital signs were slowly weakening, and it was so anxious that its big tail kept flapping in the water, causing waves to splash.

As Ding Xiang's consciousness gradually faded, someone's shouts suddenly came faintly, amid the sound of huge waves.

"Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang..."

Yes, he was calling her.

If you listen carefully, two of them sound like father and brother.

Ding Xiang suddenly woke up and happily stuck her head out of the hole to look out. On the left, she could faintly see a large ship approaching.

Ding Xiang couldn't push the big fish away, so she got so angry that she picked up the big conch and hit it on the head. The big fish raised its head in pain, and she got out.

"Daddy, I'm here, daddy..."

She shouted with all her strength, her voice was drowned by the waves and could not be carried far.

Ding Xiang was afraid that the people on the big boat wouldn't notice it, so she used all her strength to climb to the highest point of the reef. Not daring to stand, he sat and raised his red belt and waved it.

The seagulls were so frightened that they flapped their wings and flew higher.

Looking from a distance, there is a group of seagulls hovering low in the sky, and a long red silk scarf is fluttering below.

The people on the big boat became excited and moved in her direction.

"Wait, we are coming..."

The men shouted in unison, their voices rising above the roar of the frenzy.

Lilac's eyes filled with tears of joy.

Finally there was help.

The ship was getting closer and closer, and Ding Zhao's joyful voice came, "Daughter, we are here, don't be afraid, my daughter..."

Ding Xiang's mouth pursed and she murmured, "I'm afraid, how could I not be afraid."

She slid down, fearing that the big fish would drag her into the water again, so she clung to the rock and said, "Let's go, my people are here."

The big fish didn't move away, nor did it push Lilac into the water. The big fish's head was close to her feet.

The big boat got closer and closer, docking a hundred meters away. The people on the boat took up their bows and arrows to shoot fish. Afraid of shooting cloves, I always shoot into the water.

There are also people who use firecrackers to scare the big fish.

Ding Zhao and others loudly comforted Ding Xiang, "Don't be afraid, we are here."

There are many reefs here, and big ships cannot come here.

Qin Hai, Qin Zhen and more than a dozen people jumped into the water with knives in their mouths, and swam toward them outflanking them.

Two more small boats were launched from the big ship, and Ding Zhao, Ding Lichun, and Zhu Zhan were rowing here.

The big fish looked back, looked up at Lilac, and sank underwater.

Ding Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. The big fish didn't drag her into the sea.

Qin Hai swam very fast and was the first to swim to Ding Xiang.

He knelt down and hugged Lilac tightly in his arms, tears welling up in his eyes with excitement.

God protected me, and I finally found my child. If something happened to her, she would have no choice but to die to apologize.

Qin Hai looked at Xiaoyu who was reluctant to leave even if he came, and remembered that when Sister Fang came to play on the boat when she was a child, she would also attract some fish and birds, but not so many and not so crazy.

Master Zhu said that this child was different and blessed.

Sure enough.

Being swept down by a big fish and brought so far, he is still alive.

The boat came over, and Ding Zhao and others jumped into the water and came to the rocks.

Ding Zhao hugged Ding Xiang and choked with sobs, "Xiang Xiang, it's my father's fault for failing to protect you..."

Ding Xiang hugged Ding Zhao's neck and cried, "Dad, I'm afraid."

What a disaster.

Ding Lichun also hugged his sister and cried.

Qin Haidao, "Shopkeeper Ding, if you have anything to say, we'll talk about it back to the ship."

Ding Xiang quickly pointed at the big turtle and said, "Uncle Qin, take the turtle on board and remove everything on it."

Seeing the large conch next to the turtle, he added, "Take that conch with you too."

Qin Hai agreed, "Okay, listen to Xiangxiang."

Qin Zhen picked up the big sea turtle, and Ding Lichun picked up the large conch.

They got into the small boat, which went under the big ship, and then got into the big ship again.

After Lilac got on the boat, everyone cheered in unison.

Ling'er had already burst into tears, "Sister, if you can't come back, I won't go back either..."

The big ship sailed to the port. It was too late and it was impossible to go to Chimai Island.

Zhu Zhan gave Ding Xiang a drink from a water bag, and Qin Hai asked Ling'er to take Ding Xiang into a small cabin and bathe Ding Xiang with fresh water.

After the salt on her body and hair was washed away, and she put on soft and silky clothes, Lilac felt extremely comfortable.

The smell of food came and Ding Xiang's stomach growled a few times.

We were so anxious just now that no one had eaten.

Ding Zhao picked up his daughter again, hung the purse containing pills on her body, and did not dare to approach the side of the ship again.

Qin Zhen is using tools to remove barnacles from the turtles. People here call barnacles horse teeth.

Zhu Zhan handed the water bag to Ding Xiang again, and Ding Xiang took a big gulp of it.

She realized that thirst was more intolerable than hunger.

"Drink less, we'll eat soon."

Ding Zhao snatched the water bag.

After entering the cabin and finishing their meal, the turtle's teeth were also cleaned, and Qin Zhen brought Ding Xiang to him.

He smiled and said, "This guy is really heavy. He looks like he is six or seven hundred years old."

The turtle stretched out its head and rubbed Lilac's instep.

Ding Xiang squatted down and touched its head and back shell. She liked this spiritual old guy. But she knew she was doing her harm by bringing it home.

It is fate that we gather together today.
