Chapter 63 Rescuing the Baby Orca: The Orca's Request (Revised)...
Gu Yiliu ignored Gui Xun. Cleaning the barnacles wouldn't be quick, so she focused on cleaning them.
She underestimated the stubbornness of barnacles; even with the scraper dulled, there were still live barnacles.
Just as Gu Yiliu was about to smash it, he heard a voice, "Officer Gu, spare my life!"
She paused, looking at the barnacle in her hand.
The barnacle continued to beg for mercy; it was a clear, childlike voice, suggesting the person was quite young.
"Officer Gu, or else smash me to pieces! If you smash me to pieces, I'll be dead! I live on the backs of turtles just to mooch a meal from them!"
When Gui Ning heard the barnacle's voice, he grumbled angrily.
"Gurgle, gurgle!"
So you can talk! Eavesdropping on our conversations every day, you really are the most disgusting creature in the ocean!
The barnacles sounded aggrieved, "There are plenty of barnacles that can't speak properly, and we weren't eavesdropping! It's your fault for not hiding from us!"
"You're acting all wronged, disgusting!" Gui Ning was so angry that he raised his oar-like foot and slapped the barnacle in Gu Yiliu's hand onto the beach.
Then Gui Ning raised her foot and stomped on it again and again. The barnacle's shell was hard, and Gui Ning couldn't kill it in a short time, but she wouldn't give up. She was determined to stomp on it until her husband and brother came back.
“Son, come here, let’s step on it together!” Gui Ning called out to Gui Yu.
"Everyone stomp on it!" Gui Ning said angrily. After figuring it out, he stomped even harder.
Gui Yu could only obey orders.
Gu Yiliu: "..."
She couldn't interfere with the fights between the animals. So she had Dian Dian give her a handful of sunflower seeds, and then watched the spectacle with amusement.
When Guiyue returned, Guining and her son had already crushed the barnacles, killing them completely.
Only Gui Yue returned. As for Gui Xun, Gui Yue said it went to find its friend and hoped that Gu Yiliu could wait here for a while.
“Okay.” Gu Yiliu wanted to earn good reviews, so he was willing to wait.
"Glug glug!" Officer Gu, do you like all of these? We didn't find many shrimp, so we found some crabs for you. I've seen fishermen catching crabs before!
Gui Yue gestured for Gu Yiliu to look at what it had brought back.
Gu Yiliu's eyes lit up when she saw the shrimp and crabs that Gui Yue had brought back. She would take anything, shrimp or crab.
"Anything is fine."
After accepting the shrimp and crabs, she began cleaning the barnacles.
Both Gui Ning and Gui Yue had small hills of barnacles on their backs, and plankton were parasitizing them.
Gu Yiliu asked Gui Ning and Gui Yue their ages out of curiosity.
"We're both 52 years old, practically middle-aged or elderly turtles," Gui Ning said wistfully. "Gurgle, gurgle!" He hadn't thought he'd see Gui Yu get married, but now it seemed there was hope!
Gu Yiliu: "Why do I feel like I won't see it get married?!"
Gu Yiliu smashed the barnacle in her hand; she had a gut feeling that her inability to get married was related to the barnacle.
Sure enough, it really is true.
"Gurgle, gurgle!"
Officer Gu, you don't know the dating rules in the sea turtle world? Let me tell you. Every single creature in the ocean dislikes barnacles because they're deadly. Take sea turtles, for example: if a turtle has a lot of barnacles, it means that turtle won't live long! It also means that the turtle is weak. No turtle would want to marry a weak, short-lived one. This is a lesson learned through experience, and it applies to any marine creature.
Gu Yiliu understood. She quickly helped Guiyue remove the barnacles from his back.
"alright."
It already has 44% positive reviews.
The family of three turtles had finished cleaning the barnacles and were about to leave.
Before leaving, Gui Ning asked Gu Yiliu, "Officer Gu, if the sea turtles in our turtle clan want to get rid of the barnacles, can we ask you for help?"
Gu Yiliu looked at Gui Ning, whose sea turtle was even larger than her. She answered it expectantly, "If someone asks for my help, I can help them."
Gui Ning listened to these words as if they were heavenly music.
"Gurgle, gurgle!"
Officer Gu, thank you. We won't let you help us for nothing!
Gu Yiliu smiled and watched them walk into the sea, eventually disappearing from sight.
Gu Yiliu played in the water on the beach for a while when he heard Gui Xun shouting loudly.
"Gurgle, gurgle!" Officer Gu, I'm back!
Gu Yiliu looked at Gui Xun, "Didn't you say you were bringing a friend?"
"Glug glug..." It's here! It's in the sea behind us. I was afraid you'd be scared, Officer Gu, so I told it to wait until I told you what to do before it appears...
Gu Yiliu looked at the sea and didn't find any animals hiding underwater. Of course, even if they were, she probably wouldn't have been able to find them.
"What animal is your friend?" she asked.
Gui Xun grinned, "It's an orca, a one-month-old baby orca, a very tiny baby, and she got separated from her mother."
"It was fighting with other whales for food and got its dorsal fin bitten."
"What kind of whale bit you?"
"It's said to be a killer whale of the same kind, but the other party saw that it was a baby and let it go." Gui Xun laughed as he talked about it.
"How do you know it? You must be their food, right?"
Gui Xun gurgled happily.
"Hehe! It was crying because it was hungry near my house, so I gave it some food, and then it stayed near my house, waiting for me to feed it. I just consider it a good deed."
Gu Yiliu hummed in agreement. "Let it come up here."
Upon hearing this, Gui Xun quickly nodded his thanks to Gu Yiliu and hurried back to the sea.
A short while later, Gu Yiliu heard a long, continuous ultrasonic wave.
"Waaaaah~" I'm here~
Gu Yiliu was stunned when she heard this. She looked at the sea and saw the water surging up and down. A huge whale leaped out of the sea, its massive head and body crashing onto the surface, creating a huge splash.
The great whale has a very typical black and white color scheme, as well as a majestic, knife-like dorsal fin.
It is estimated to be over 2 meters long.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Yiliu saw it rush ashore.
It came straight at her.
She quickly stepped back a few paces, and just as she did, the enormous body of the orca slid past the spot where she had just been standing.
"..."
"Waaaaah!" Turtle Xun! Help me! It hurts so much! ⊙﹏⊙!
"Glug glug!" Who told you to rush so fast? I told you to slow down! You little brat, you never know your own strength! You're not allowed to move! Let Officer Gu take a look at the wound on your dorsal fin!
Gu Yiliu spoke up at the right time. She walked up to the orca, whose head was ridiculously large, practically the size of a whale's head. She looked up at its eyes and said, "That's right, don't move, or you'll be stranded for even longer."
The whale opened its huge mouth, "Waaah?"
"Can you really help me?"
Gu Yiliu nodded.
"Waaaah!" Alright then, thank you, Officer Gu!
Gu Yiliu's heart melted completely. "Do you have a name?"
"Eek!" Yes, I'll call myself Baby Whale. My mom named me that.
Gu Yiliu smiled. "Okay, baby whale, let's not delay, I'll start cleaning your wound now."
"Eeeeee!" the baby whale responded with its mouth wide open.
A fishy smell wafted over, and Gu Yiliu sighed, raising his hand to wipe the orca saliva off his face.
Then it climbed onto the killer whale's back. Like a sharp knife losing its edge, a section of its dorsal fin was bitten off. It was no longer bleeding, but because it had been soaking in seawater for a long time, the cut surface of the wound was slow to heal and had become infected with pus.
Gu Yiliu squeezed out the pus, then cleaned the wound, sprayed it with anti-inflammatory spray, and then bandaged it with waterproof material.
After treating the wound, Gu Yiliu checked the other parts of the orca's back. There were no barnacles or other wounds.
A baby is a baby; it seems to have been well protected before losing contact with its mother.
Gu Yiliu slid off the orca's back and patted its big head. "Alright, little baby, in half a month, you can ask Gui Xun to help you remove the bandages from your wound."
The orca opened its mouth and whimpered, "Thank you, Officer Gu!"
Gu Yiliu patted its head. "Thank you too." You gave me a 1% positive review, and I also received 1% from Gui Xun, so now I have another 2% positive review.
"Get back to the sea quickly! Don't linger in the nearby waters for too long, or you'll easily get caught!"
Gu Yiliu gave instructions to the baby whale.
"Waaah~" the baby whale emitted a series of ultrasonic waves, full of grievance.
Officer Gu, I want to find my mother.
Gu Yiliu understood what the baby whale meant. "You want me to help you find your mother?"
She looked up into its eyes and saw tears welling up.
The baby whale nodded.
Do you remember where you and your mother got separated?
The baby whale whimpered pitifully, "It's a bit far from here, and I don't know how to get there. I can call my mother, but I'm too small. If I go far away, I'll get eaten."
“But I can’t find it for you on my own; we have to ask for help from outside.” Gu Yiliu was also worried. “Will you be scared then? Maybe someone with ulterior motives will bother you and your mother.”
The baby whale wanted to shake its head, but felt its body was too heavy, lacking the lightness it felt in the sea, so it gave up.
"Waaaaah!" I'm not afraid, I want to find my mom!
“Alright, you go back to the sea with Gui Xun first. Gui Xun can come ashore again tomorrow. I will come back here.” Gu Yiliu looked at Gui Xun.
The latter nodded, looked at the baby whale, and told it to return to the sea.
The baby whale lifted its tail, flapped it vigorously, and cried pitifully, "Waaah!"
The baby can't move.
"..."
"..."
Gui Xun looked at Gu Yiliu, "Gurgle gurgle!"
Officer Gu, I have no choice, I'm counting on you.
Gu Yiliu looked at Dian Dian, "Dian Dian, I'm counting on you. Lend me a hand."
This time it was DianDian's turn to be speechless, but it was a good system. "Okay, put your hand on the orca, and I'll use your hand to help you push it into the sea."
With one push, it propelled a considerable distance.
Gui Xun stared in disbelief, while the baby whale whimpered excitedly, its whimpering sound almost deafening up close.
"Well, it's a baby whale, after all." Gu Yiliu sighed and asked Dian Dian to help her block it out, otherwise she'd go deaf if she heard it too much.
Gu Yiliu pushed the orca to the shore in three quick movements. The baby whale could move freely on its own without her pushing.
"Waaah!" Officer Gu, please put the turtle meat in my mouth!
Gu Yiliu picked up Gui Xun and placed it in the baby whale's mouth.
"Waaah~" Goodbye~
The baby whale turned its head, preparing to leave. Just then, a shout came from behind.
"Wait a minute! Is that a whale?! Wait a minute!"
Gu Yiliu turned his head and saw a man with a camera hanging on his arm; he was a reporter. He probably came after hearing the ultrasonic call of the orca.
She looked at the baby whale and said, "Baby, go hide in the water first, and I'll ask it what it wants to do."
The baby whale nodded, and in its excitement, it sprayed a puddle of water at Gu Yiliu.
Gu Yiliu, soaked to the bone, glared at the orca with a murderous look, "...Baby, you need to break this bad habit of spraying water. Next time, don't spray me with water!"
