Chapter 370: The Dying Great Leatherback Turtle

Vecna ​​originally wanted to stay with Li Shu for dinner, but after receiving a call from Boss Jing, Li Shu decided to return to Neverland immediately.

Li Shu carried a 50-jin bag of rice seeds, and left the Haishen community with his younger sister: "Sister, Boss Jing just called and said that a big injured turtle appeared on the beach, let's go back and have a look now.".

"Big turtle!?" The little girl became interested in an instant, and said: "Okay, let's go and see the turtle... eh, but brother, what are you fighting for?".

"Rice seeds! Plant rice seeds to grow rice. Then we can grow wheat to grind flour, and grow rice to produce rice. We will be self-sufficient." Li Shu explained.

Jing Laosan flew the helicopter to the east, and the red sunset dyed the clouds in the sky red, which was extremely gorgeous and charming.

Flying over the sea, the airflow from the helicopter bent the vegetation around the tarmac, and even some silly black mosquitoes were blown away directly.

After the helicopter came to a complete stop, Li Shu, the little girl, and the youngest Jing jumped off the helicopter one after another.

"Third Jing, put the rice seeds in the Herb Garden.".

"Okay, boss.".

Watching Jinglao San fight the seeds away, Li Shu rubbed the head of the big yellow dog that flew over, and then said to Jinglao who came over: "You just said that a big turtle was injured and ran to the beach of Neverland up?".

"Yes, boss!" Elder Jing Dalian said, his hair swaying in the evening wind.

"Take time to go to Danguan City to get a haircut... Where is the big turtle? Take me there.".

"Okay boss!".

Boss Jing took the plum tree, the little girl, and the big yellow dog, white squirrel, and thrush to the southeast corner of Neverland, where there are many rocks, and a large number of dense and dirty barnacles are growing freely. , a huge "leatherback turtle" with a length of 1.5 meters on the carapace alone is lying on the reef.

The big tortoise's expression was a bit timid and frightened, and there was a strong color of pain on its face. Li Shu looked carefully and found a large circular hole with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters had rotted in the middle left of the tortoise's carapace.

Li Sha, who was standing to the north of the big turtle, said: "In the evening, after cleaning up the weeds that I was going to clean up today, I washed my hands and changed my clothes and wanted to take a stroll on the island, and then I saw this big turtle.".

The hale and hearty Uncle Hai stroked his gray hair, frowned and said worriedly: "Sin, this big tortoise is too miserable, the wound is bleeding, and it emits a bad smell.".

Yan Zhang said in a hoarse voice, "We don't have any medicine to cure the turtle."

The little girl also frowned and said: "Brother, let's save this big bastard, he is so pitiful... It's just that he doesn't have that kind of tortoise shell.".

"Of course we need to be rescued." Li Shu said to Jing Laosan: "Take a photo of the big turtle, and bring a little wound secretion, and go to the best animal hospital in Danguan City to buy medicine. It should be just a common injury. The infection festers.".

"Good boss." Jing Lao san ran back to the villa, brought a 5 cm high small glass bottle, took a little bit of the wound secretion of the big turtle into the bottle, and then ran to the apron a few hundred meters away , buzzing ~ the helicopter took off quickly.

The big tortoise had lived for many, many years. He felt that Li Shu and the others were not hostile, so he did not escape. However, the huge wound on his back tortured him all the time, making his spirit very weak.

Li Shu asked Jing Lao Er to go to the sea to catch some yellow-bearded shrimps, put them in an iron basin in front of the big turtle's head, and the latter ate happily, with eyes full of happiness.

"Woo~" the big tortoise let out a low sound of enjoyment.

Feeling that the little girl is very interested in the big turtle, Li Shu took the opportunity to give her a popular science. Seeing the big turtle in reality is easier to remember than just seeing the turtle from the illustrations in the book.

"Sister, this is a leatherback turtle. Unlike the green sea turtle, which has pieces of shell on its back, leatherback turtles don't have shells. His carapace is made of leather." Li Shu laughed.

The setting sun was shining on Li Shu's side face, it was warm, and the sea water was rushing. They were waiting for Jing Laosan to come back from buying medicine.

"Leather material!?" the little girl said.

"Yes! It's made of leather!" Li Shu laughed.

Li Shu was teaching his younger sister, while Uncle Hai, Li Sha, Yan Zhang, Jing Lao Er, Jing Boss and others were also listening. Of course, they had seen leatherback turtles before, but if they were asked to describe the appearance of leatherback turtles, they would I feel so stupid that I can’t describe it, so when I feel anxious, I say: “It’s like that anyway.”.

"Leatherback turtle's name is very vivid, leatherback skin is his carapace is "skin with 7 vertical edges", the carapace, limbs and head are black, with white spots similar to ovals.

The limbs have no claws and resemble oars. The two forelimbs are about 1 meter long, and the two hind limbs are about half a meter long. They are the largest turtles in the world. The endurance and speed of swimming in the sea are very good. good. "Li Shu said.

The little girl looked at the 7 vertical ribs on the leatherback's back, then at the 1-meter-long forelegs and half-meter-long hind legs, and nodded.

Jing Laosan drove the helicopter back, and bought not only medicine, but also cotton cloth, tweezers and other tools.

"The doctor said it was just an infection after an ordinary injury." Jing Lao San ran to Li Shu and said, "But the doctor said that the tortoise's injury is really too serious, and the probability of recovery is no more than 1%. We have a mental preparation.".

"Hiss~" Li Shu shrank his pupils. He looked at the big tortoise that seemed to be full of happiness after eating the yellow-bearded shrimp. He couldn't bear it for a while: "So this tortoise is already terminally ill? He must be in great pain, right?" , but this tortoise seems to be very optimistic, there is even a happy look on his face!

It's weird how I can feel optimism from a turtle. ".

"Brother~" The little girl was about to cry with tears in her eyes. She just fell in love with this big tortoise, but she didn't expect that this big tortoise was going to die, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Brother, save this big turtle!".

"Hey~ Do your best and obey the destiny." Li Shu put on a mask and gloves, and squatted next to the big leatherback turtle with tweezers, cleaning the carrion from the latter's wound.

"Stupid turtle, don't move. I'm saving you now. If you dare to move, I'll knock your head off.".

"Woo~" the big tortoise grunted with its mouth closed, then lay down on the reef and closed its eyes, letting Li Shu play tricks on it.

"Ouch~".

The carrion of the turtle gave off a foul smell, yellow with white, and there were small bugs in the water that ate the carrion. Plum Tree almost didn't spit it out, but fortunately, after cleaning up the carrion, it was found that the turtle's internal organs were not injured.

Cleaning, applying medicine... After a series of operations, the setting sun will gradually fall into the sea.

Li Shu moved the big tortoise under a peach tree 100 meters away from the sea, and the pink peach blossoms hung on the branches, bursting with fragrance.

"Okay, big turtle, just stay here and don't go into the water for a few days." Li Shu clapped his palms and said to his sister, "Let's go, sister, let's go to dinner.".
