Chapter 874: The Whale Turns Over
"Dad, what should I do, do you want to go to the pharmacy and buy some band-aids?" Xiao Zhi asked nervously when he saw the whale bleeding.
Lao Huang was embarrassed and said: "What's the use of Band-Aids? We can't even see the wounds, let's wait for the fishery administration ship to come, let them find a way." ”
"Can we push it over and expose the wound?" Xiao Zhi didn't want to give up, and proposed again.
Lao Huang shook his head, "You kid forgot, we tried it just now, and we didn't move for a long time." ”
"There are three of us this time! Besides, it's not to push it back into the sea, it's just to push it over......" Xiao Zhi muttered unconvinced, unable to get an answer from his father, and looked at Zhang Zi'an again.
"I thought I could try. Zhang Zi'an said without confidence.
Although there are three people, in fact, they are only two and a half, and Xiao Zhi can only be counted as half.
"Dad! come and help!" Xiao Zhi received Zhang Zi'an's support, and excitedly ran to the side of the minke whale and beckoned to his father.
Zhang Zi'an also walked next to Xiao Zhi and chose a position to stand.
Lao Huang's old waist ached faintly, and he was reluctant to help, but it was too embarrassing to refuse in this case, so he had to throw down the storage box and stand next to them.
The trio struck the same pose — with their arms propped over the minke whale's body, hunched over their waists, and their bodies almost at a 45-degree angle to the ground.
"Ready?" Zhang Zi'an asked.
The other two gritted their teeth and nodded.
"One, two, three!"
With the exit of "Three", the three of them exhaled at the same time, shouted in unison, the muscles of their whole bodies tensed, and their feet sank deep into the sand.
Xiao Zhi's face turned red, and the green tendons on Lao Huang's forehead jumped up.
With the strength of the three of them, the minke whale's body slowly tilted, but not enough to make it roll over.
Their strength is quickly depleted, especially since the whale's skin is so smooth that it is difficult for them to find the right force point.
"Oops!"
Lao Huang exclaimed, his palm slipped, and the other two couldn't support the minke whale's body, and it fell back to its original position again.
Probably pressed against the wound, the minke whale let out a long, painful and sharp moan, and its body trembled violently.
Zhang Zi'an's eyes were quick, one in each hand, and he quickly pulled Xiao Zhi and Lao Huang back, so as not to be swept away by the waving pectoral fins, which was no less powerful than being hit by a hammer.
The trio retreated to safety in shock.
The minke whale struggled only a few times before it exhausted almost all of its strength, and the more it struggled, the higher its body temperature became, and it was tired and no longer moving, worse than it had just been.
"Alas, blame me!
"Do you want to try it again?" asked Xiao Zhi, looking up.
Zhang Zi'an shook his head and persuaded: "I don't blame you, I don't have to try again, we overestimate our strength, even if you don't slip, we can't push it." ”
He wasn't empty comfort, they had already reached the end of their crossbow just now, even if Lao Huang didn't slip his hands, they wouldn't be able to hold out for a few seconds. If it were three Zhang Zi'an, he might be able to do it, but Lao Huang and Xiao Zhi's strength was really not enough.
The three of them were sweating profusely, shocked and tired, especially Lao Huang, whose sweat almost couldn't stop pouring out, and he almost collapsed.
It was almost noon, and after tossing for so long, they were all a little hungry, and even less energetic when they were hungry. Xiao Zhi is when he grows his body, and he is hungry faster.
"Then can we just wait?" asked Xiao Zhi, swallowing his saliva.
"Wait, when the tugboat comes, it's not too late to tow it back to sea and treat its wounds. Lao Huang kept wiping sweat.
When the injured part of the minke whale was slightly off the ground just now, Zhang Zi'an paid attention to it, although he couldn't see it clearly, but at least he was sure that if he dragged it into the water with a tugboat, the wound would rub violently against the beach, and the pain would hurt it to death. Even if it is successfully dragged into the water, it may swim away on its own once it enters the water, and there may not be a chance to treat the wound.
"Wait for me, and I'll come when I go. Zhang Zi'an trotted away.
"He doesn't want to wait and slip away first, right?" Lao Huang looked at his back and said suspiciously.
"No......" Xiao Zhi was not sure.
They waited in place for a while, keeping their eyes fixed on the direction Zhang Zi'an had left, but it didn't take long for the sound of car horns to come from their side.
Zhang Zi'an carefully drove the Wuling Shenguang, until he drove the car to a position where he couldn't drive forward before stopping, which was the edge of the field and the beach, and if he went further, the tires might sink into the sand.
He pulled the car over, took the spare rope from the compartment, hung one end on the tow hook, and led the other end towards the minke whale.
If one rope is not long enough, just join two together, barely enough, and if it is a little farther away, it will not be long enough.
"Come, help me shove the rope under it. ”
Zhang Zi'an handed the rope to Lao Huang and stood on the other side of the minke whale, Lao Huang tied the rope to the stick and stuffed it under the minke whale.
Together, they tied the minke whale with a rope and tied it into a strong knot.
"I'm going to start the car - I'll pull, you push, and this time it should be fine. Zhang Zi'an commanded.
Lao Huang and Xiao Zhi understood his intentions, and their confidence also increased.
With the roar of the car engine, the tires rolled up a lot of sand and crackled against the chassis, and the rope instantly stretched straight.
Zhang Zi'an felt that the body shook violently, and secretly cheered for this Wuling Shenguang - the sea is crossing, and the true colors of the Shenguang are revealed!
In fact, Lao Huang and Xiao Zhi didn't need their help at all, just relying on the horsepower of the engine to make the minke whale's body slowly flip, the father and son added a force, and the minke whale turned over 180 degrees with a bang.
Zhang Zi'an turned off the engine that was about to smoke, locked the car, untied the rope, and trotted to the minke whale.
"This injury is not light! it was stabbed by someone, right?" Lao Huang stared at the wound, was aroused by compassion, and said with a sigh, "Who got it?"
Xiao Zhi grinned, looking at the minke whale's bloody wounds, he felt pain.
On its side and back, there was a shocking wound, the wound was not large, but it seemed to be very deep, I don't know how long ago it was left, the wound had not healed for a long time, and the edges had already suppurated.
A small piece of wood, thicker than a grown man's thumb, had been dug deep into the wound, with jagged stubble on the outside.
No wonder it was going crazy with pain, if a person was so badly injured, he might have died a long time ago.
Zhang Zi'an checked the wound and said, "It seems that the harpoon left by the speargun is broken inside." ”
"What then?" asked Lao Huang and Xiao Zhi in unison.
"The harpoon must be removed, otherwise the wound will never heal and will soon become inflamed, at which point it will die of sepsis. Zhang Zi'an said.
