Chapter 137



On the emerald green banana leaves, the huge and bright crabs form a sharp contrast with the small crabs on the side.

In addition to crabs, the banana leaves also contained grilled meat, chicken wings, octopus and other ingredients they brought from Shanming Island, as well as a few fish from the fishing boat, conchs picked up along the way, and the sweet-looking banana coconut milk paste, which made people's appetites whet.

[Slurp...their food is so good!]

[Big crab, octopus, conch, barbecue, my mouth is watering! ]

[I've already ordered takeout, but when I look at the tiny crab in my hand and see that the smallest crab over there is bigger than mine, the takeout in my hand suddenly doesn't taste so good anymore...]

[Sanming Island, right? I'll fly there on my vacation. It's all about blue crabs, octopus, and coconuts. I can't believe I won't get to eat them!]

[Yes, you can also go directly to Shanming Island and experience the sea catching! ]

I'm going to book a flight now!

【Add me! 】

When the airfare to Hainan skyrocketed, Song Tiantian started to feel sleepy.

Lu Chuanbei and his friends picked some banana leaves and spread them under the shade of the tree. Then they spread out the tablecloth they brought from the villa and put the child on it for a nap.

Although the midday sun was scorching, the shade of the trees still provided some coolness. With the gentle sea breeze blowing, it didn't take long before Lu Chuanbei and the others who were accompanying them began to feel drowsy.

Not long after they fell asleep, there was a sudden movement in the jungle near their camp.

The fans who were already feeling sleepy woke up suddenly when they saw the grass moving a few times not far away.

[Am I seeing things? The bushes behind Lu Chuanbei and the others seem to be moving?]

[Could it be the sea breeze? ]

[Impossible, the grass beside it hasn't moved at all, just that one patch!]

[I saw it too, but I think it was probably caused by the rabbits and pheasants hiding in there.]

"Really? But I always feel like something's not right?"

At this moment, Song Tiantian rubbed her eyes and sat up from under the shade of the tree.

Lu Chuanbei sensed movement nearby and quickly opened his eyes to look towards her: "What's wrong?"

"Some leaves fell." Song Tiantian picked up the leaves that had just fallen on her face.

Lu Chuanbei took the leaf: "Okay, do you want to take a nap?"

Song Tiantian shook her head: "No, I'm not going to sleep anymore, but I'm a little thirsty."

"I'll get you some water." Lu Chuanbei gently picked her up and went to get some water under the shade of the tree where his backpack was placed.

He Jingnian on the side moved his body and soon occupied the place where Song Tiantian had just slept.

Meanwhile, He Xuebin and Xu Qi were still sleeping soundly on the banana leaves. Only Fang Xiuzhu opened his eyes and glanced at Lu Chuanbei and the others: "Xiao Lu, aren't you guys going to sleep anymore?"

"Yeah, Brother Fang, continue sleeping and don't be disturbed by us."

"I took a nap and I feel much better now." Fang Xiuzhu said as he tucked in Xiang Nan's coat.

Song Tiantian was already holding the cup and drinking, but at this moment, she suddenly saw the grass on the side move.

Upon seeing this, Song Tiantian's eyes widened instantly.

Lu Chuanbei looked at the little girl holding the cup, motionless, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong? Don't you want to drink?"

"Woo woo~" Song Tiantian quickly swallowed the water in her mouth and pointed to the grass beside her: "Dad, the grass over there is moving!"

Lu Chuanbei looked in the direction Song Tiantian pointed, but the grass that had moved a little just now was now completely still. "Is it the sea breeze that's blowing it up?"

"No, I clearly saw it just now." Song Tiantian quickly covered the cup and walked towards the bushes.

Lu Chuanbei hurriedly followed.

Seeing this, Fang Xiuzhu also stood up.

As soon as Song Tiantian walked over, the grass over there moved again.

Upon seeing this, Lu Chuanbei hurriedly stepped forward and picked up Song Tiantian: "Be careful."

"Dad, look!" Song Tiantian, who was held by him, pointed to the bushes over there and said, "There's a big turtle in there!"

"Turtle?" Lu Chuanbei hurriedly looked down, and when he saw it, he took a breath.

"What's wrong?" Fang Xiuzhu had just finished speaking when he saw the strange-looking turtle: "Is this... a barnacle?"

[Ahhh! Oh my god, is this just a sea turtle? How did it grow like this?]

[High-energy warning, high-energy warning, people with trypophobia should not watch this! ]

[Why did this turtle become like this? What's on it? ]

[I know, it's a barnacle! ]

[Barnacles? Don't they grow on the seashore? Why are they growing on sea turtles?]

Lu Chuanbei looked at the turtle seriously. "Parasitic barnacles! This turtle's entire back and neck are parasitic with barnacles."

"Parasitism? Does it hurt a lot?" Song Tiantian looked at the turtle with a distressed look on her face.

"Yeah, it definitely hurts."

"Shall we help it?"

Lu Chuanbei looked at the sea turtle, whose body was almost completely covered with barnacles, and nodded involuntarily: "Okay, let's help it."

"Hmm," Song Tiantian quickly slid down from Lu Chuanbei: "Dad, what can I use to remove these barnacles?"

"You can only use a shovel and a knife to scrape it off." Lu Chuanbei looked at the sea turtle with its body covered with barnacles and said, "Regular methods don't work on these demons."

[Lu Chuanbei is right, Barnacle is indeed a demon.]

[I just came back from searching, and the word barnacles really opened my eyes...]

[But did you know that although these barnacles look a bit ugly, they are actually quite delicious. ]

[Yes, we often eat barnacles here. We just need to boil them in water and eat them like sunflower seeds. They are very delicious.]

Ah, I've gained some useful knowledge, but this barnacle is really... I'm going to remove it from my diet. Of course, if it tastes really good, that's fine.

So you're seriously considering whether or not you should eat barnacles, and whether they taste good?

"Will it hurt?" Song Tiantian couldn't help but ask worriedly as she looked at Lu Chuanbei walking towards the turtle with a shovel.

"It will hurt, but compared to being parasitized by barnacles, the pain is only temporary." Lu Chuanbei said as he reached out to the turtle.

When Lu Chuanbei approached, the turtle couldn't help but shake a few times, but soon calmed down again.

Lu Chuanbei held the turtle's back with one hand and started to shovel the barnacles that were parasitic on it.

"Let me help." Fang Xiuzhu stepped forward and started shoveling on the other side of the turtle's back.

A series of harsh sounds rang out in the grass.

As the barnacles were removed bit by bit, the turtle couldn't help but stretch out its neck and make a humming sound, as if it was saying something but also as if it was saying nothing.

He Xuebin and the others also got up at this time. They couldn't help but show pain on their faces when they looked at the barnacles that Lu Chuanbei and the others had scraped off the sea turtle.

"How painful it must be with so many barnacles parasitizing it."

"Yeah, these barnacles are really useless." Although Xu Qi loves to eat them, he is still respectful towards arthropods like barnacles.

After all, there are so many delicious foods, there is no need to eat something with a hard shell that will make people develop claustrophobia if you look at it too much.

The barnacles have a hard shell and are extremely densely infested, so no matter how careful Lu Chuanbei and Fang Xiuzhu are, they will still scratch the turtle.

But even so, the turtle remained silent and stretched its neck towards Lu Chuanbei's hand, where a dense layer of barnacles was growing.

[How much suffering does it take to expose your weaknesses to others?]

Oh my god, I really can’t bear to watch this.

[The turtle must be in great pain, but even so, it is still willing to endure the pain and remove the barnacles. You can imagine that the pain caused by the barnacles is even more unbearable than the pain of removing them...]

[My eyes are watering. Is there no way to remove the barnacles without chiseling? It looks like such a pain. QAQ]

Song Tiantian's eyes began to turn red as she looked at the wound on the turtle's back and the bloodstains on its neck left after the roots were removed because they were too deep.

Looking at the little girl's red eyes, Lu Chuanbei couldn't help but say to her, "Tiantian, go look in Daddy's backpack to see if there's a medical kit."

"Yeah." Song Tiantian wiped her eyes and ran towards the shade of the tree.

While Song Tiantian was getting the medicine, Lu Chuanbei and Fang Xiuzhu quickly scraped away the remaining barnacles on the turtle.

Just when they thought they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, the turtle silently took a few steps forward, then curled up and turned itself over.

When it turned over, He Xuebin gasped: "Oh my god, why are there so many barnacles on its abdomen?"

I saw that there were several times more barnacles attached to the belly of this sea turtle than on its back.

Lu Chuanbei looked at the increasingly serious sea turtle and couldn't help but look troubled. "No, this is too much. If I continue like this, I'm afraid that by the time I finish cleaning out the barnacles on its abdomen, I'll have already injured the sea turtle."

"The abdomen is too fragile. If you're not careful, it won't be a good thing, but a bad thing." Fang Xiuzhu said, looking at Lu Chuanbei: "Xiao Lu, aren't the marine biologists nearby? Let's go find them."

"I think it's okay." With that, Lu Chuanbei was about to go find someone.

But before Lu Chuanbei could stand up, the turtle turned over its shell, silently poked its head out from its back, and looked straight at Lu Chuanbei.

Those watery eyes froze when they saw Lu Chuanbei.

He Xuebin: "You stay here, I'll go call someone."

"Yes, this turtle obviously trusts you. If you leave now, it might not stay here anymore." Xu Qi also said quickly: "So, you should stay here. Dabin and I will go find someone."
