After knowing that these turtles came to ask for help, Director Liu, the netizens watching the live broadcast, and the coast guards whose ship quickly headed from Haikou to the deserted island all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, these turtles are not here to cause trouble."
"Oh my god! I've been working at sea for so many years and I've never seen a sea turtle come to ask for help with a group of its companions."
"Everyone does. It's not uncommon for a single turtle to ask for help, but I doubt I'll ever see a group like this again in my lifetime."
"Yes, but what's that medicine they have? Why is it so effective against barnacles?"
"I don't know, but I saw on the comments that this is called a parasitic spirit removal technique. It's something Song Tiantian and Lu Chuanbei did when they went to the reef island a few days ago. It's especially effective for removing barnacles."
"You can see that those hard-to-remove barnacles have fallen off on their own after applying this. And look at the turtles' shells. Apart from the marks left by the barnacles, there's surprisingly no damage to the shells at all."
"This medicine is truly amazing. If you use it to remove barnacles from the ship, will it also be effective?"
"Of course! Barnacles on turtle shells are much more difficult to deal with than those parasitizing ships. If it works on sea turtles, it can definitely remove barnacles on ships!"
You know, parasitic barnacles not only parasitize living things, but also rarely target ships sailing on the sea.
And often, once this kind of organism successfully parasitizes, it will develop into a large group.
What is even more frightening is that it cannot be removed completely. As long as there is a little barnacle left, it will regenerate in a very short time and spread again quickly.
Some ships that did not pay attention to these small things may even capsize or collide with reefs due to too many barnacles on the bottom of the ship, causing shipwrecks.
Because of this, every time a ship goes out to sea, it regularly cleans the barnacles on board, for fear that they will reproduce too quickly and cause problems to the ship.
At this moment, Song Tiantian and others didn't know that they would soon receive another order for removing ghosts.
"Xiao Lu, the medicine here is almost used up." He Xuebin looked at the bamboo joint where only a cup of Chuji Ling was left at the bottom, and hurriedly shouted to Lu Chuanbei.
"This is not enough for me." Fang Xiuzhu said.
Lu Chuanbei was sitting under the eaves with Song Tiantian, taking out all the herbs that had been drying to make spirit-eliminating medicine. "Wait, I'll be done soon."
As he spoke, he glanced at the turtles, who seemed to have not lost anything: "But even if all these medicines are used up, it won't be enough."
"What should we do? There are still so many turtles here that haven't gone to the barnacles yet."
Lu Chuanbei glanced at the sky and said, "Now we can only wait until tomorrow morning to go to the mangroves to pick herbs."
"That's all we can do." Xu Qi took a broom and swept all the barnacles that fell from the turtle into a pile. "Besides, if there are more barnacles falling, I guess there won't be anywhere to pile them up."
Song Tiantian looked at the three piles of barnacles in the yard, then at the sea turtles nearby. Seeing that there were almost no fewer sea turtles, the little girl couldn't help but sigh: "If we had known it would be like this, we should have picked more herbs yesterday."
Lu Chuanbei rubbed the little girl's head and said, "It's okay. We can still pick them in the mangroves tomorrow."
"But even if we pick all the herbs from the mangroves, it probably won't be enough."
"...That's true." Lu Chuanbei had to admit that even if all the herbs in the mangroves were picked, it would probably still be far from enough.
And at this moment, the drone sounded again.
Director Liu's excited voice suddenly came from the drone: "Don't worry about the medicine. The Hainan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association just called and said they are willing to provide us with herbs to make the parasite removal medicine."
"Also, Researcher Zhou and his colleagues on the reef island have called and offered to help pick herbs from the mangroves over there and send them here."
Upon hearing this, Song Tiantian and others were immediately delighted.
Lu Chuanbei even listed all the herbs needed on the spot, just like naming a dish: "...These are the traditional Chinese medicines needed to make the spirit removal potion. If possible, please prepare more."
Director Liu agreed immediately.
At this moment, a bright color quietly appeared on the horizon where the sea and the sky met. The silver moon in the sky also quietly hid behind the clouds without anyone noticing, leaving only the bright morning star still flashing its dazzling light.
After working for nearly an entire night, they finally couldn't take it anymore.
Especially the little ones who were still sleep deprived, they started to stagger just by standing.
Lu Chuanbei quickly picked up Song Tiantian, who was about to fall to the ground. Song Tiantian, who was half-conscious, tried hard to open her eyes, but her eyelids were too heavy.
Lu Chuanbei touched the little girl's face distressedly: "Be good, Daddy will take care of everything from now on, you should get some sleep first."
"But, but... I haven't helped the turtle clean the barnacles yet." Song Tiantian said in a daze with her eyes closed.
"You forgot, we have no medicine now. We will come to help the turtle clean the barnacles after the herbs are delivered in the morning."
"Then we can go to the mangroves to pick them." Song Tiantian raised her soft little hands, rubbed her eyes and wanted to open them.
"But it's still dark. Let's wait until it's light before going."
"Then you must call me."
"Don't worry, I will definitely call you when the time comes."
As soon as Lu Chuanbei finished speaking, Song Tiantian immediately began to snore. The sight of her falling asleep in that instant made Lu Chuanbei hold her even more gently.
The other little guys did the same thing, and their whole bodies began to shake.
Especially He Jingnian, as soon as he entered the room, he lay on the mat without even taking off his shoes and couldn't get up.
Seeing how exhausted these little guys looked, many netizens posted comments asking Director Liu to send them more supplies and not let the children get tired.
Director Liu looked at the little guys who were already sleeping in a ball in the room, and was already thinking that it would be better to send some supplies over tomorrow.
Song Tiantian slept very soundly this time.
Seeing Song Tiantian was so tired that she was even snoring, the system couldn't help but pull her into the rest cabin and let her have a good sleep.
Although Song Tiantian worked all night to make the spirit remover and consumed a lot of her mental energy, the system bug and the release of growth when her mental energy was consumed to the extreme allowed her mental energy to be replenished quickly and become stronger than before.
As her mental energy began to surge and recover, Xiang Nan, who was so exhausted that she pursed her lips even in her sleep, slowly relaxed...
The next day, not long after the sun came down, Lu Chuanbei, who had just rested for a while, walked out of the house.
Fang Xiuzhu, Xu Qi and others also stood up at the same time.
Xu Qi glanced at the rocks outside the house that had been overturned by the turtle and were used as a cushion. "It looks like we won't be able to make breakfast this morning."
"It's okay, there are still some fruits in the house. We can just eat some." He Xuebin said as he took out all the fruits he picked yesterday.
At this moment, a huge brown paper bag suddenly appeared in the sky and quickly moved towards the cabin.
The early morning sea breeze blew on the cowhide bag, making a rustling sound. Lu Chuanbei and the others followed the sound and saw the drone flying towards them with a bag that was completely inconsistent with its size.
He Xuebin looked at the paper bag, which was almost three times the size of the drone, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh my god, it won't just fall down, right?"
To He Xuebin's disappointment, the drone not only did not fall down, but also flew steadily all the way and landed under the eaves.
Fang Xiuzhu watched the drone's movements and couldn't help but step forward and take off the bag hanging on it.
As soon as the bag was removed, the drone quickly took off and disappeared into the air.
He Xuebin glanced at the drone's strange movements, then quickly looked at the bag in Fang Xiuzhu's hand: "Old Fang, is that drone delivering something?"
"Just open it and you'll know." Fang Xiuzhu said, opening the bag to reveal a stack of lunch boxes.
Upon seeing this, He Xuebin and the others couldn't help but look at each other.
Lu Chuanbei: "Lunch box?"
"No way, the production team really had a change of heart and gave us Song breakfast?" Xu Qi guessed.
"Let me see, is it drugged?"
Hearing this, Director Liu couldn't help but roll his eyes in the studio: "If you're afraid I'll drug you, then don't open it."
He Xuebin, who had no idea what Director Liu was complaining about, quickly opened his lunch box and laid out all the food inside.
There are steaming hot dumplings, shrimp dumplings with big shrimp meat visible through the tangerine peel, snow-white and tender fish fillet porridge sprinkled with chopped green onions, millet porridge cooked until it pops, and grinning barbecued pork buns, etc.
[Program crew, if you are kidnapped, just blink! ]
[What's going on? How could such stingy people from the production team actually send so much breakfast?]
[Could it be that after seeing Xiao Lu and the others busy all night with the turtles, the production team felt guilty and sent them breakfast?]
[That must be the case. After all, Xiao Lu and his friends' stoves were taken over by the turtles. And they'll have to find a way to go to the mangroves to pick herbs soon. If they don't eat enough, their bodies won't last. That's why the production team specially brought them breakfast.]
"That's true. Besides, this isn't a survival show. We can't really starve Xiao Lu and the others. Besides, there are children. We can't let the children go hungry."
[Seeing this, I suddenly felt that the program crew was quite humane]
