Chapter Forty-Eight: Mr. Turtle

The most prominent thing about this turtle is that the shell is covered with shellfish, which has seriously affected the normal activities of the turtle, and it stands to reason that a healthy turtle should not have so many parasitic shellfish, I really don't know why this turtle will be full of shellfish.

What made me even more strange was that I crouched beside the turtle and watched it, and even touched it with a shell, but the turtle didn't look scared at all, and still slowly climbed up to the shore and didn't care about me at all.

A turtle has a natural instinct to be on which beach it was born on, and the female will return to the same beach to lay eggs when she becomes an adult, but this turtle should not have come to lay eggs, it may have been lost.

People say that the thousand-year-old king is 80,000 years old, and the big sea turtle in front of him is the size of a dining table, and it must be thousands of years old.

The turtle king eight belong to reptiles collectively called turtles, divided into freshwater turtles and saltwater turtles, and there is a kind of tortoise, in fact, their lifespan cannot be as long as rumored, these turtles are 100 years old, only some tortoises have a relatively longer lifespan.

In some legends and stories in China, the turtle is a spiritual thing, people are most familiar with the East China Sea Dragon Palace turtle prime minister, and the turtle also symbolizes longevity, the folk believe that the turtle is an auspicious thing, that is, the fishermen who go out to sea to fish accidentally catch the turtle will also be released, the release pond of the major temples is also the turtle majority, because people superstitiously believe that the release of the turtle will bring good luck to themselves.

But this turtle in my eyes is not auspicious and lucky, in my eyes it is a lump of high-quality fatty meat, such a big turtle is enough for me to eat for some days, and I really have never eaten turtle meat, Wang Ba meat is not less, I have been on the island for so long to eat fish and shellfish every day It seems that I should change my taste today.

I flipped the turtle over on all fours so that it couldn't move and left me to fiddle with it, and I laughed so much that I said to the turtle, "I'm going to stew you with your shell tonight." ”

Just when I lifted the stone and was about to smash the turtle to death, I found that the turtle did not struggle at all and seemed to be dead, I looked closer and found that the turtle was still alive, it did not struggle and should have no strength, because the shellfish on the turtle is really a burden, and the turtle is exhausted by being able to climb ashore.

But suddenly I noticed that the turtle's head hung limply on the sand, and tears flowed from its eyes, and its eyes kept staring at me, as if begging me to let it go.

Seeing such a scene, I couldn't help but shudder, and a sense of awe awe-struck in my heart, and I secretly asked if this turtle really had spirituality.

Seeing such a scene, I was a little overwhelmed and hesitated, I put down the stone in my hand and felt some self-blame and sadness in my heart.

Looking at the weak turtle in front of me, I suddenly felt its helplessness and despair, for some reason the turtle was covered with shellfish, which must have caused it great inconvenience and pain.

Maybe the turtle is an outlier in the eyes of its own kind, because its shell and even limbs are parasitic shellfish, in the eyes of the same kind it is a different existence, so it is very likely that it will not be able to let the same kind or population accept it, this turtle must be far away from its own kind, just like me living alone, accompanied by only cold sea water and loneliness.

Perhaps the turtle can no longer bear the pain of loneliness and parasitic shellfish, and wants to climb ashore in the last moments of its life and return to the place where it was born to die slowly, even if this beach is not the turtle's birthplace, but at least it feels comforting,,,,,,

Looking at the turtle at this time, I thought of myself, I am afraid that I am not as good as the turtle, I can see the beach where I was born before I die, and I am likely to die alone on the island in despair and no one knows.

Seeing the turtle struggling weakly, I sighed and said, "Mr. Turtle, I won't eat you anymore because you and I are both in the same disease, and I still have to help you."

I'm going to help this turtle get back to the sea and back to its companions.

I went back to the hut and got the stone hammer and axe, and I got everything I could use anyway, and then I turned the turtle back, at first I thought the turtle would run away, but the turtle didn't move after it was straightened, maybe it didn't have the strength to escape, or maybe the turtle knew what I was doing to it, so it was very cooperative.

So I started to clean the shellfish from the turtles, and it was very laborious to clean up the shellfish, but I thought about how painful it was for the turtles to carry him all the time, and I noticed a more serious problem just a third of the way through the cleanup.

That is, I found a piece of something like a fishing net around the neck of the turtle, tightly wrapped around the turtle's neck, and it has been deeply entangled in the flesh, it seems that the turtle was entangled in this thing when it was a little smaller, and as the body grows little by little, the situation that occurs today will appear.

This also proves why there are too many parasitic shellfish on the turtle's body, and it should be this hemp rope that makes the turtle unable to move so that the shellfish have the opportunity to parasitize Mr. Turtle's body.

Looking at the hemp rope stuck in the skin and flesh of the turtle, I thought that the turtle was suffering all the time, so I immediately picked up the foam knife and carefully cut the hemp rope little by little.

The moment I cut the hemp rope, I heard a turtle let out a long ",,, vomit" sound.

With a long cry of the turtle, my heart was extremely relaxed, and at this time, the turtle's limbs began to swing, stretching its neck and opening its mouth to gasp for air.

It is conceivable that the sea turtle has been plagued by hemp rope and shellfish, and has lived a life of difficulty in moving and swallowing, and today it is finally liberated.

Then I carefully removed the remaining shellfish, looking at the clean turtle I was in a comfortable mood, I thought that the turtle would return to the sea, but the turtle remained motionless and stayed in place, it seemed that the physical exertion was excessive, after all, I did not have the right tools, the removal work was completely barbaric, whether it was a human or a beast could not stand such a toss and collapsed.
