Chapter 75 Leaving the Seal for Help (Revised)
"I don't want to stay. I think the ocean suits me better." Lu Tingting was lying on her back and couldn't hold on any longer. She had been in this position for too long, so she wanted to move around.
"My brother should stay," it said, genuinely hoping its brother, Lu Shengsheng, would remain at the aquarium. Lu Shengsheng was no longer fit to swim; it was injured, swam too slowly, and it was too dangerous for it.
Lu Shengsheng disagreed with its younger brother's decision. It showed off its speed in front of its brother, and with a flick of its tail fin, the dolphin darted away, leaving only a shallow ripple.
Lu Shengsheng returned quickly and said, "I don't want to stay in the aquarium. I want to go back to the sea. The sea is my home."
“Sheng Sheng, I want to stay.”
Runxue swam over and said, "I want to stay and give birth to the baby first. Then I'll leave. Maybe I won't want to leave then, or maybe I'll leave with my baby."
Lu Shengsheng spat water at it, "Are you stupid? You're already in the aquarium, how could we possibly let you out? And not just any time, but whenever you want to come out, and take whoever you want with you!"
Humans and they are different species. Some people are kind to them, like Officer Gu, but others are not! Once Officer Gu leaves, they will be like orphans without a mother, like blades of grass, vulnerable to being bullied by anyone.
Runxue shook her head and, not to be outdone, sprayed water at Lu Shengsheng, saying, "I'm not stupid!" What Lu Shengsheng was thinking, it was also thinking. The aquarium staff treated them very well, and it ate fresh meat every day.
They've become quite famous lately, so many people come to photograph them—ordinary people who bring their children to see them, and journalists who come to take pictures to use in their news articles.
Before taking any photos, the staff always asks for their permission.
When these people come before it, they always exclaim "Wow!" and praise its beauty, which makes it very happy. Dolphins are indeed very beautiful in the sea, that's undeniable, and now it knows that they are also beautiful in human eyes.
A doctor came to examine them, and Runxue was overjoyed to hear the doctor say that her babies were growing well and were very healthy.
Although she doesn't know how long this good feeling will last, Runxue really loves the aquarium family.
At worst, it can just leave with its puppies after giving birth.
Runxue looked at Gu Yiliu, "Ee-oh-oh-oh?" Officer Gu, can I give birth at the aquarium? I want to take it with me after I give birth. Is that okay?
After listening, Gu Yiliu looked at the curator beside him and repeated Runxue's words.
Without hesitation, the curator said, "Sure, sure, you can leave whenever you want. Our aquarium can take care of you."
With more than half a year until Runxue gives birth, the curator can't even imagine how lively the aquarium will be in the next six months.
The aquarium has been packed every day lately.
Let alone half a year, even just half a month, the zookeeper would be happy to oblige. By not monopolizing animals and not forcing them, animals will become your friends and reciprocate your kindness.
"Eeoh oh oh?" Officer Gu, could you let him sign the agreement with me?
Gu Yiliu asked in surprise, "Do you even know what an agreement is?"
Runxue nodded. Yesterday, two people stood in front of it and kept discussing agreements and contracts. It listened for a long time and understood that the agreement was to protect itself.
Gu Yiliu took Runxue's request seriously. She informed the curator to prepare an agreement with Runxue, allowing it to leave with its cubs at any time.
The curator's face beamed with a bright smile. He understood what he meant, but still checked with Gu Yiliu to confirm, "This dolphin named Runxue has decided to stay for the time being, right?"
Gu Yiliu nodded, and Runxue followed suit. The pink dolphin moved with great agility. After nodding, it swam over to Lu Shengsheng and said, "You stay here with me. We'll go together later."
Lu Shengsheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Its tail fin was bleeding and needed medication.
The curator immediately sent someone to fetch a doctor. After the doctor arrived and confirmed that Lu Shengsheng's bleeding was stable, he looked at the other dolphins and asked Gu Yiliu, "Don't any of them want to stay?"
Gu Yiliu looked at the other three white dolphins besides Lu Tingting. They shook their heads in unison, "Eee-ooh-ooh-ooh~" We want to go back to the sea, thank you, curator~
"They said thank you, curator, and they want to go back to the sea," Gu Yiliu said with a smile.
The curator felt sorry but also understood, saying, "They are used to the ocean, and the aquarium is too restrictive for them."
The curator smiled and left to draft the agreement and make arrangements for Lu Shengsheng and Runxue to stay at the aquarium.
Gu Yiliu didn't leave because Runxue said it couldn't read, so she needed to ask Gu Yiliu to help read the agreement to it.
Whether it's out of a desire to simply help or because of the allure of a 1% positive review rate, Gu Yiliu is happy to oblige.
After reading the agreement, Gu Yiliu received the 1% positive review rating. She was somewhat emotional, as she had heard from Dian Dian that the higher the rating, the harder it was to earn, but now she felt it was getting easier and easier.
"Officer Gu, could you ask around for me what these dolphins need? I can have someone prepare it for them." The curator had temporarily kept two white dolphins, so he was very attentive to everything about them.
"Eee-oh-oh-oh!" I want to play with the ball! I want to play with the ball!
Lu Tingting was the most proactive.
"Big or small? What kind of ball?" the curator asked.
"Eee-ooh-ooh!" It sounds like the ball that the seal next door is playing with.
While acting as their mouthpiece, Gu Yiliu overheard the plea for help from the seals next door.
"Quack quack quack!"
Officer Gu, I'm Guagua the seal. Could you talk to the curator and ask the zookeeper to scratch my itch every day?
Gu Yiliu turned his head to look at the seal in the next pool. It was a small seal with a round body, covered in spots, and with a dog-like nose. It looked both ugly and cute.
Then the sound of seals rang out again.
"Quack quack quack!"
It's me, it ... who I am!
Gu Yiliu smiled and pointed to the seal Guagua at the curator, "This little seal says it wants someone to scratch its itch, and hopes you can get the keeper to scratch it for it every day."
Curator: "What did Guagua just tell you?"
Gu Yiliu nodded.
"Okay, could you please ask it why it eats so much? It always eats a lot. Other seals only need about two buckets of fish, which is about 8 kilograms, but it needs twice that. Seals shouldn't have such a large appetite, right?"
Gu Yiliu looked at the seal Guagua's round body and repeated his question, hoping it could answer him.
"Quack quack quack!" I don't know, I just eat when I'm hungry, two buckets of fish are not enough to fill me up.
“Seals born in the same year as it are already more than twice its size, and it’s the smallest of the three seals born at the same time,” the curator added. This is the reason why he couldn’t understand it.
How come you're still so small after eating so much?
"Quack quack quack!" I also want to know why I'm so small!
Guagua's voice was full of grievance.
Has the vet examined it?
The curator nodded. "The doctor said there's nothing wrong."
"I mean, have you seen what's inside its stomach?"
The curator shook his head. "How can we tell? The veterinarian came to look at its belly, but he couldn't figure it out either."
With Dian Dian not here, Gu Yiliu couldn't immediately figure out what was going on with the seal.
However, she did have a guess.
It's possible the seal had worms in its stomach, which is why it was fed worms first.
She shared her guess with the curator.
When was the last time the aquarium dewormed the animals?
"A year and a half ago, almost two years ago."
Gu Yiliu paused for a moment, then asked the seal Guagua if it felt any worms in its stomach.
Guagua shook its head. It was obvious; it probably didn't understand what roundworms in its stomach were, and its quick hunger was likely just a result of rapid digestion.
"Perhaps it has roundworms in its stomach. You could try deworming it," Gu Yiliu suggested.
Without further ado, the curator quickly brought out the deworming medicine, fed it to Guagua, and then watched Guagua's reaction.
After a long pause, Seal Guagua finally began to defecate.
"There really are bugs!" Gu Yiliu laughed, surprised that he had guessed correctly.
"Quack quack quack!" Officer Gu, I'm hungry!
After getting rid of the roundworms, Guagua immediately became hungry.
Gu Yiliu: "..."
The curator laughed heartily, "Wait here, I'll go get you some food."
The curator soon returned and prepared a bucket of fish for Guagua.
Guagua ate very happily, and even let out a burp after finishing, rolling around in the pool with his belly round and bulging.
"Quack quack quack!" Guagua poked its face out of the pool and smiled sweetly at Gu Yiliu.
"Officer Gu, how about I take you to see some other marine life?"
Gu Yiliu was happy to do so, since he could earn good reviews anyway.
