Mother... Mother!
Fu Wan had a curse in her mouth, but when she saw what it was, she swallowed it back.
It was a baby seal!
I don't know how it managed to stay on the side of the boat. The boat had been sailing for a while, but it didn't fall overboard.
It's definitely not a good idea for the seal to lie there. The ship's engine is very loud, and aside from the fact that it would get tired lying there, the rapidly spinning propeller could easily injure it if you're not careful.
Thinking of this, Fu Wan immediately stood up and ran to the side to find a hand-copied net.
Upon seeing her actions, Fang Min hurriedly inquired.
"Ah Wan, what's wrong?"
Fu Wan found the net and walked towards the boat, not forgetting to answer Fang Min's question as she finished.
“Amin, come help. There’s a seal at the stern.”
Brother Lin, go tell my dad to slow the boat down!
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin quickly put down the fishing net in his hand and turned to run towards the cockpit.
Ye Xiaocui wasn't idle either. She knew a bit about flag signals, so she quickly found the flag in the cabin and waved it at Fu Ming and the others.
The main point is to tell them to slow down and not to crash into their ship.
Seeing that the boat had slowed down, Fu Wan lay down by the side of the boat and stretched out her hand net towards the seal.
The seal was clearly frightened and tried desperately to get away from Fu Wan's net.
"Suckling."
Fu Wan had a sudden inspiration and simply used her animal taming language to greet it.
Seeing this, Fang Min also picked up a hand net from the side.
“I can climb down. You calm this seal down first, and I’ll catch it.”
After saying that, she gripped the railing on the side of the boat, leaped up and half-hanged on the side of the boat, then aimed the net at the seal and scooped it up, and the seal fell into the net.
Fu Wan quickly grabbed the stick from Fang Min's hand, "You come up first, I'll get the net!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Min let go, then used her core strength to flip and quickly returned to the deck.
Fu Wan was utterly shocked by her actions, and for the first time gained a real understanding of Fang Min's background.
This was the first time Fu Wan had ever seen something like this, half-hanging on the side of the boat and then suddenly snapping back.
"Woof woof woof!"
The sound of the seals in the net snapped Fu Wan out of her shock, while Ye Xiaocui stood anxiously beside her.
"Hey, put that thing down right now, or it might bite!"
"It's alright, such a small seal can't hurt me."
As she said this, Fu Wan put down the net.
Now everyone could get a good look at what the seal looked like.
"Judging by its appearance, it's still a seal pup!"
No wonder it felt so light when I held it; it probably only weighs a dozen kilograms.
"Oh dear, it's bleeding!"
Qin Mingzhu pointed at the seal's paw and shouted, "It's a bloody mess there, I don't know how it got hurt."
Fu Wan felt pain just looking at it; the seal was badly injured, and she didn't know what to do.
"How about we take it back and have the village doctor take a look?"
Hearing Fu Wan's words, Ye Xiaocui frowned.
"Village doctor? Village doctors are there to treat people, not this thing."
Fu Wan scratched her head, realizing that what she said made sense.
The little seal opened its big eyes and looked around. As if it knew that the big guys wouldn't hurt it, it twitched its little nose and suddenly crawled to the side.
What is it trying to do?
Before Ye Lin could finish speaking, the guy suddenly buried his head in the fish basket next to him and began to wolf down the small fish inside.
"My goodness! We've been starving for years!"
Ye Lin sighed, noting that the seals only slowed down their eating pace when they saw that no one was stopping them.
Well, this guy actually knows how to read people's expressions!
When Boss Fu turned his head and saw that there was no movement on the deck, he restored the speed of the boat and made it continue to move forward.
He went up to the deck to see what the big guys had just done.
What are you doing?
Seeing everyone gathered together, Boss Fu was also somewhat puzzled.
"Grandpa, there's a baby seal! My mom and Aunt Cool rescued a baby seal!"
Fu Ling immediately started shouting. She had just met Fang Min today and didn't even know Fang Min's name.
But when Fang Min caught the baby seal, her eyes lit up.
"seal?"
Fu thought he had misheard, but when he saw the seal engrossed in eating, he couldn't help but wipe the sleep from the corner of his eye.
"Where did this come from?"
Fu Wan pointed to the stern of the boat, "Dad, it just lay down next to our boat and kept barking."
Looking at this seal, which was even smaller than Wangcai at home, Boss Fu felt a pang of pity.
He let out a long sigh, especially after seeing the baby seal's mangled paws.
"Dad, how about we take the seal back and apply some medicine?"
Fu Laoda was also helpless, "No need to take it back, there is medicine in the cabin."
I just don't know if this thing will even work.
When going out to sea to fish, the boat naturally carries a lot of commonly used medicines. Fu Wan hadn't thought of this before, but upon hearing this, she hurriedly ran to the cabin to search for them.
Fang Min was also somewhat tempted. To be honest, she saved the seal because Fu Wan had helped her. As an employee, she naturally wanted to contribute what she could.
But what she found interesting was that it seemed like Fu Wan's family all tacitly wanted to help the baby seal.
What she didn't know was that in Fu Wan's eyes, seals, like orcas and dolphins, were sentient beings with their own thoughts.
As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, and this saying still applies in the ocean world.
Fu Wan found a medical box under the bed. Inside were some commonly used fever reducers and cold medicines, as well as various medicines for treating external injuries given by Bai Qianzhou.
Fu Wan thought for a moment, then took out a few bottles, and then found some clean gauze and iodine.
The baby seal was clearly starving. Fu Wan disinfected its paws, but it kept swallowing small fish without even lifting its head.
"Let's forget about the gauze. If it goes back into the sea later, the gauze might restrict its movement."
Fu Wan thought what Boss Fu said made sense, so she simply used gauze soaked in iodine to disinfect it first, and then poured some medicine on it.
After the baby seal had eaten and drunk its fill, Fu Wan soon saw the familiar dock in the distance.
"Mom, is this seal coming back with us?"
Fu Ling squatted down next to the seal and boldly touched its back.
Fu Wan was also troubled by this matter. She could keep a seal at home, but the main problem was that the guy's injury hadn't healed, and she didn't know if he would survive if she sent him back.
However, the seal seemed to sense the humans' dilemma. After noticing the ship slowing down, it began to slowly crawl towards the side of the ship. Fu Wan and the others did not restrict its movements. After a while, it glanced at the group a few times and then resolutely turned back into the sea.
"It seems it doesn't want to go back with us."
As they watched the seal's figure slowly disappear into the sea, both Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu felt a little lost.
Fu Wan smiled and comforted them, "The ocean is the baby seal's home; it must have gone to find its mother. Look, aren't we going home now?"
Fu Ling and the other woman seemed to understand but not quite. Fu Ling's gaze fell on the approaching dock, and when she saw the figures waiting on the dock, her sadness vanished.
"Grandpa, Mom, I saw Grandpa!"
