"Dig it up, snake!"
Fu Ming exclaimed in surprise, and Boss Fu was so shocked that he threw the coconut crab, which was half tied up, aside.
"I knew it! There are definitely snakes on a deserted island at night!"
Fu Ming's heart pounded, but thankfully the snake showed no intention of attacking them, not even sparing them a second of its gaze.
This was strange. Ye Lin felt something was amiss. Snakes are particularly sensitive animals, and they should have reacted when they saw so many people.
But now the snake kept looking ahead, its cold, vertical pupils fixed on something.
What is it looking at?
Although Fu Wan was somewhat frightened, she also felt that the snake was really strange.
The snake kept flicking its tongue, clearly indicating that there was something more attractive to it than humans.
"Holy crap, this snake has its eye on the puppies of the 'Wealthy Flower'!"
Fu Ming had a flashlight, and with a flick of his wrist, he spotted two baby sea turtles not far away, crawling out of the sandpit and preparing to head towards the sea.
The snake was eyeing those newly hatched sea turtles.
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan and the others felt a pang of anxiety and immediately rushed forward, disregarding their fear.
These past few days should have been the time for the sea turtles to hatch. Each sea turtle egg hatches at a different time, so just now, a few baby sea turtles have just emerged.
"Oh no! That snake is going to attack the baby turtle!"
In his haste, Fu Liang grabbed a stone and threw it at the snake.
But visibility was too low at night, and he didn't aim properly. The stone landed not far from the snake, which only frightened it into shrinking back.
What kind of snake is this?
Fu Wan couldn't help but ask, "When dealing with snakes, you have to consider whether they are venomous or not. You have to be careful with venomous ones, but with non-venomous ones, you can just charge in without worry."
Upon hearing this, both Boss Fu and Ye Lin shook their heads, saying, "I've never seen this snake in the mountains."
"I've never seen one at the beach."
There are thousands of snake species in the world. Although everyone hopes their snake is non-venomous, looking at the colorful patterns on that snake's body, no one dares to say it's non-venomous. Sea snake: "Are we just going to stand by and watch this snake eat the young of the 'Wealthy Flower'?"
Fu Ming was furious. Although Fu Liang's stone hadn't hit the snake, it had successfully slowed down its attack on the baby sea turtle.
Although the sea turtle is separated from its parents after birth, it is still a member of the Fu Gui Hua family, and Fu Wan and the others cannot simply sit idly by.
“Okay, let’s continue to scare it with stones. Brother Lin and Dad are more experienced, you can try to spear it with a harpoon.”
With five people, she refused to believe that they couldn't handle a snake that was over a meter long.
"good!"
Fu Ming and Fu Liang agreed, and then quickly searched the ground for stones to throw at the snake.
This job looks easy, but it's actually quite challenging.
The goal was to scare the snake without hitting the baby turtle, but luckily the snake was about a meter away from the turtle, and with the flashlight shining on it, the big guy's aim was pretty good.
The stone rain attack only lasted a few minutes, because there were only so many stones on the ground. Fortunately, the snake was frightened by the stones and retreated two or three meters away.
However, the newly hatched sea turtles here haven't quite adapted to their limbs yet, so they crawl rather slowly.
Seeing that no stones were falling, the snake began to emit snake signals as it prepared to approach the sandpit, where there were even sea turtles wobbling and about to hatch.
"Damn it, I'm going to kill this snake today."
Fu Ming also got angry, picked up a tree branch from the side and hit it.
Fu Laoda and Ye Lin continued to attack the snake with their harpoons.
Actually, everyone was already quite tired. They had planned to catch the coconut crab and head back, but then they encountered a snake eating a sea turtle.
Although it's a law of survival in nature, we should still try to save them if we see them.
Otherwise, I'll be too ashamed to see the flowers of wealth bloom in the future.
As Fu Wan thought this, she quickly glanced at the sandpit again.
At this point, only one turtle egg remained in the sandpit. A crack had already appeared on it, and the turtle inside was struggling against its hard shell, about to hatch.
Hurry up and get back to the sea, otherwise who knows how many snakes will remain in this forest after they leave.
However, at that moment, the snake, having been hurt by Fu Ming and the others, suddenly lunged forward, its sharp fangs aimed at Fu Wan's face.
"Watch out, Wan!"
Ye Lin was shocked to see this, and Fu Wan was so frightened that she took several steps back.
When Boss Fu saw that the snake was attacking Fu Wan, he got angry and grabbed the snake by the tail, slamming it heavily to the ground.
"I'll teach you to scare my daughter! I'll teach you to eat a sea turtle! I'll teach you to run around scaring people!"
One sentence after another, and the snake was repeatedly slammed to the ground by Boss Fu.
Before she could even instinctively wrap her arms around Boss Fu's hand, she was already thrown straight down.
"Let me finish you off!"
Seeing that the snake had stopped moving, Ye Lin raised the harpoon and thrust it into the snake's head.
Under everyone's gaze, the snake flinched twice and then fell silent.
"Dad, you're the best!"
Fu Wan gave Fu Laoda a thumbs up, and Fu Ming and Fu Liang also looked on with admiration.
To pick up a snake and throw it to the ground—that kind of courage is truly rare.
As expected, Boss Fu is still Boss Fu!
Fu Laoda was somewhat flattered by the admiration he received from the younger generation.
"Oh, it's nothing, just catching a snake, what's so difficult about it?"
"Back when I was young, I wasn't afraid of catching a snake, let alone destroying a whole snake nest!"
Just then, Ye Xiaocui's shouts came from afar again.
"Honey, are you done yet? It's already past three o'clock, we need to head back!"
"Hey, here it comes!"
Boss Fu agreed loudly, and Fu Liang picked up the snake on the ground with a harpoon.
"What about this snake? Should we take it back?"
Snakes are also considered highly nutritious; otherwise, no one would risk their life to soak highly venomous snakes in alcohol.
In Guangdong province, eating snake meat is a common occurrence. Moreover, in the 1980s, when resources were scarce, it would indeed be a waste to leave a few pounds of meat on a deserted island.
"Why don't we take it back first? I'll ask Grandpa Fu what kind of snake it is later."
Whether you're eating it or selling it, you have to find out its origin first.
Fu Laoda and the others naturally had no objection to Fu Wan's words, but Fu Ming was delighted.
"You might take this snake back and before you even ask what kind of snake it is, Little Yellow will catch it and eat it."
Xiao Huang and Fu Ming are good friends who love and hate each other. Even though Xiao Huang sometimes gets angry at Fu Ming, he still likes Xiao Huang, this bird that has become a spirit, very much.
"No matter what, let's take it back first. Amin, Awan, and Aliang, you guys put the octopus trap away first, and Ye Lin and I will go collect the ground cage."
If Boss Fu hadn't mentioned it, Fu Wan and the others would have forgotten that there were still those cages that hadn't been collected.
Fortunately, they collected the items quickly, and before long, everyone was back on the ship preparing for their return journey.
