Chapter 685: Little Hawksbill Turtle

Although Pisces Island was sold, it is now a private island. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But the indigenous people of the island have lived here for generations, and some of the performances require the participation of Maldivian locals, so some people still live on the island and have not moved away.

Stilt fishing, snorkeling and fishing, fishing and fishing are still going on, and they have lived in isolation for thousands of years, occasionally in contact with Indians.

It was not until the Age of Discovery that it became a British colony that it increased its foreign relations, so most of the local residents were quite easy-going, and there was a kind of indifference that was not shocked.

In the past century, the world has changed dramatically, and the Maldivians, who are no longer satisfied with poverty, have begun to look at the money, and are not dissatisfied with the sale of their homes, but are happy that there are many more jobs and can earn more money.

The coup d'Γ©tat on Male Island did not have much impact on Pisces Island, and the residents still went out to sea on time in the morning to fish and returned the same way in the evening.

The white sails face the sunset on the sea, forming a particularly beautiful scene.

Similar scenery can be seen every day on Pisces Island, and Han Xuan has long been used to it.

Driving an ATV, leaving two car marks on the surface of the white sand.

The sound of the engine shatters the tranquility of Pisces Island, causing the people around them to separate reality from dreams, remembering that they are travelers on vacation and will return to society, and that they will not be able to stay here forever......

A small ATV, parked next to the wooden plank road that extends into the sea, Han Xuan and Anya walked up, the sea is full of simple water houses, and the roof thatch swings in the wind.

Looking at the sea in the distance, there is a black yacht more than 20 meters long, mixed with the dilapidated fishing boats, which is particularly conspicuous.

The hull of the boat was covered with rolling waves, and it continued to approach the dock area until it slowed down and came to a halt.

This is the yacht of Boris, the old rich man in France, and as one of the richest people in France, he can get all the material comforts he wants.

After visiting the Maldives last year, Boris Sr. came on vacation with his wife Laura this year.

Drive this yacht and let the refueling boat follow all the way, refueling at any time, from the Mediterranean, through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Sea, to the Maldives.

In the words of old Boris, he is now retired, and the most important thing he lacks is time, and he has to read all the beautiful scenery that he did not have time to enjoy in the first half of his life before he dies.

The elderly couple, who had been busy traveling around the world and having traveled all over Europe throughout 1994, were going to Asia this year and only stayed in the Maldives for two months to relieve their fatigue.

On the plank road leading to the sea, there is a tourist who is fishing, and after spending a lot of effort, he pulls up a ball of aquatic weeds, with a helpless look on his face, hangs up the fake bait and sits on the chair, waiting for the greedy fish to take the bait.

Han Xuan looked into his bucket, it was empty, it was all seawater.

Seeing him in action, the British tourist laughed at himself: "There is no shortage of fish in the Maldives, and I have been fishing here for more than two hours."

It's bad luck to be as unlucky as I am. ”

Han Xuan thought to himself that he was really unlucky, yesterday he was lying on the air mattress bed and basking in the sun, and all the fish jumped on the bed.

He said comfortingly: "It's okay, it's easier to fish in the sea after dark, and with fluorescent bait, you will definitely catch fish." ”

"Well, I've never fished before, try it tonight. The Englishman replied.

Guo Muzhou stood at the bow of the black yacht, wearing a straw hat on his head, holding a bonito more than 70 centimeters long in his hand, and shouted: "Han Xuan! Look here!

Then he replaced the bonito with two lobsters of thirty or forty centimeters, holding one in one hand and laughing proudly.

Boris stood next to him smoking a cigar, his skin was red from today's strong sun, waved to Han Xuan, said something to the sailors on the yacht, and walked down the stairs.

Just looking at the pair of old men, with unshaven beards and fishy smells, how can you guess that they are billionaires.

Maldivian fishermen on other small fishing boats smile wryly, these days, the poor want to be rich, but the rich like to do hard work such as fishing.

After going around in a big circle, it turned out that the wish came true at the beginning, so why do you want to make money, I was originally a fisherman......

Han Xuan came to the side of the yacht and looked at the two large baskets of seafood that the sailors had brought down from the boat.

The largest number is bonito, live sea cucumbers, lobster ginseng mixed in, and a few groupers in the basket.

Grabbed a moving dark yellow sea cucumber and said with a smile: "I caught a lot of fish today, how about grilling grouper on a bonfire at night."

If the lobster is roasted by the chef, the meat of the lobster will get old and it will not taste good last time. ”

"Okay, my boat chef made the lobster, and it tasted great!"

Old Boris handed the unsmoked cigar to a sailor and asked him to help him take it and throw it away.

My grandfather got off the boat with a tortoiseshell turtle in his arms, which was about half a meter long, and the tortoiseshell turtle could grow up to about 1.6 meters, which was a small turtle.

"It got tangled in our nets and slightly injured its front fin.

Wait until you are well cultivated and then put it back in the sea, it is not easy to grow so big, and it would be a pity if you die. ”

The tortoiseshell turtle stretched out its head and opened its mouth, its limbs swaying around and wanting to bite Old Man Guo, but the length of its neck was limited and it was out of reach.

The fishing industry in the Maldives is carried out all year round and does not use large fishing vessels, so there is little damage to the marine ecology, which the sea can bear.

Hawksbill turtles are not a species that can be caught, and locals release them when they catch them, so there are many hawksbill turtles in the Maldives and they are often seen in the coral reefs when snorkeling.

An elderly Maldivian fisherman, who did not speak English, hesitated for a moment when he saw the hawksbill turtle.

With gestures with their hands and feet, they signal that they want to put it back into the sea.

Han Xuan smiled and said in Dhivehi: "This turtle is injured, we will release it after the injury is healed, you don't have to worry." ”

The other party had heard that there was a Chinese child who could speak the local language, but he didn't expect Han Xuan to speak so well.

He smiled and nodded, stretched out his thumb, carried his catch on his shoulder, and reached out to lead a child no more than five years old.

In the light of the setting sun, the shadows stretched long, and there were flocks of crows in the air, and black figures skimmed the palm tree tops.

Relaying the conversation to his grandfather and Boris, Han Xuan came to the tortoiseshell and crouched down to inspect the wound on its left front fin that had been strangled by a fishing net.

It's not very deep, and some blood comes out, acting as a veterinarian, affirming: "As long as you don't get infected, it shouldn't be a big deal." ”

The reddish sunlight shone on the back of this hawksbill turtle.

The bizarre black and yellow intertwined back shell is full of mysterious patterns, faintly shining.

This is also the reason why they have been hunted by humans for thousands of years, and in the animal kingdom, it is also a fault that they are too beautiful...... (To be continued.) )
