Chapter 135
After leaving the leopard meat behind, Qiao Sheng returned to the boat. Li Mu directly raised the anchor and set off without any unnecessary actions. Watching the boat drifting farther and farther, Li Qingqing put the leopard meat into his backpack and continued to organize the players to divide the leopard meat. He also reminded his sister beside him to remember to send Qiao Sheng the pickled bamboo shoots when he returned to the boat.
Qiao Sheng also prepared dinner. The two of them and a few animals, the wooden doors and windows were all open, the sea breeze was blowing, and the small oil lamp was lit. If this is how life is, it will be quite leisurely.
After dinner, Li Mu washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen, and then began to pack up the shoulder bags and wrist bags that the two brought back. Qiao Sheng went to the warm room to take out the blankets for the two people and put them on the bamboo bed. Finally, no one made noise tonight, and they could have a good sleep.
After making the bed, Qiao Sheng took the fishbone bracelet and went downstairs to fish. You Su jumped into her arms, stroked the fox's big tail, and fished, which was very comfortable.
Li Mu was busy upstairs for a long time. First, he collected all the important things that had been dried in the sun for a day, but he didn't cut them. He put them all in the storage cabinet for Chinese medicinal materials, and then put all the things he received today in the baskets on the drying rack to continue drying.
After finishing the cleaning, he saw Qiao Sheng rubbing You Su again and again, curling his lips and shaking his head, thinking that this vixen really didn't distinguish between male and female, and was really good at seducing people.
He moved a chair and sat next to Qiao Sheng. He first began to guard the wooden barrel and began to place orders in the trading system. This spring has just begun, and other players without bracelet bonuses are still not as efficient in fishing as those who catch supplies, so as long as Li Mu's order appears, it is basically swept away.
The world channel is full of messages from big guys asking for fish, and there are also a few messages slandering Li Mu's wealth, and some say that this is a zombie fish, which must have been caught in the fall, and after being frozen for a winter, it is now sold.
Qiao Sheng scrolled through the world channel, reading the information in it to him from time to time. Li Mu was not affected at all, and still waited for the bucket to hang the order. After hanging all the orders, he took the wooden hairpin and the colander to start collecting supplies, absolutely not wasting any time.
"It's so funny, look at these messages that slander you, there is always a group of people attacking that person. Is this 88 Beibei? She is really free. And this ID is also very familiar, it seems to be Fang Yueyi. They both seem more excited than you." Qiao Sheng really just fishes, plays with foxes and reads gossip.
"It's not just them who are speaking for us. There must be others. Those who are saying sour things either don't have supplies to exchange or didn't get anything to rob. In fact, they won't starve to death if they don't exchange. It doesn't take much time to catch a few fish a day." People like Li Mu who have never put in any effort in fishing really don't know that some players may not catch a single fish in a whole day.
Some are unhooked, and some can even catch those small fish fry in the sea, which are really unnecessary to eat. Because of various reasons, the orders they placed here really saved many players.
It was quite late when they left the island. The two of them fell for a while and then packed up and went to bed.
Originally, I thought I could sleep comfortably without any disturbance from the outside world. Who could have thought that halfway through the sleep, the boat was bumped again, and Qiao Sheng almost rolled off the bamboo bed.
Fortunately, Li Mu, who had been awakened long ago, had put on his clothes. He tilted his head and saw that Qiao Sheng was half asleep outside the bed. He quickly moved her in and woke her up. He lit the lantern, opened the cabin door, and went to see what was happening outside.
Qiao Sheng was still a little confused when he was awakened. It was not until the bamboo bed under him shook again that he reacted. He didn't know what had happened. He put on a waistcoat and slippers on the boat and came out.
Li Mu had already seen clearly what it was, and went downstairs to the bow with a lantern in hand. Qiao Sheng came out and told her that it was a sea turtle. As soon as she heard these three words, Qiao Sheng knew what was going on, and turned back to the cabin to get medicine from the storage box.
When she followed, she saw Li Mu dragging the little turtle that was held by the sea turtle onto the float.
"What happened?" Qiao Sheng ran down in two or three steps and helped to drag it up.
"It's unconscious. I took a look and found that one of its legs was cut off and a piece of its head was also missing. I don't know how it survived to this day. There are scabs on the wounds." Li Mu explained the condition of the little turtle.
After pulling it up, they found that the wound was difficult to treat. It was already so badly injured, and it was still tucked into its shell, which made treatment very difficult. The two tried various methods, but the turtle could not stick out its injured legs and head.
"You brought it here, and you let it stick out its wound. How can we treat it? There is no medicine for it. If it continues like this, it will die. Although it will be a cripple after being cured, it can still live!" Qiao Sheng pushed the little turtle to the edge of the float angrily. She really couldn't take this job.
The big sea turtle understood what Qiao Sheng said, stretched out its head and touched the small sea turtle. There was no movement at first, and Qiao Sheng was ready to give up. Five minutes later, the small sea turtle slowly stretched out its injured leg and head from its shell.
The two did not dare to move, and just applied the medicine. Qiao Sheng treated the leg and Li Mu treated the head. In fact, it was not difficult. Just pick off the scab and let the wound bleed again, then sprinkle the powder of Baibaodan, and then seal it with artificial skin film to prevent water from entering.
Qiao Sheng bandaged the broken leg, and told Li Mu to go upstairs to get water and a basin, and mix some Baibaodan powder water for the sea turtle to drink.
After she finished speaking, she was stunned, and Li Mu stopped what he was doing after hearing her words.
"Can turtles drink sea water? Can I just bring a basin down?" Qiao Sheng asked uncertainly. After getting Li Mu's affirmation, he immediately stood up and went to the kitchen to get an iron basin. He
scooped some sea water from the sea first, dissolved the fuse in the Baibaodan in the sea water, and added a lot of medicine powder into it, and then gave the basin to Li Mu.
Half of the turtle's head had been smashed, which was even more terrifying than the state of the big fool. Li Mu found the turtle's mouth and poured a basin of sea water into it first.
"How to cure it? It's all smashed." Qiao Sheng looked at it and couldn't bring himself to do it.
Li Mu's work was simple and easy. He poured a thick layer of medicine powder on half of the rotten head, and then wrapped it with cotton cloth without applying a skin film, leaving a little gap in the front for it to breathe, and tied up the rest of the place.
"Leave it here. It can't go with you in this state. If you want to follow, just follow. Don't hit our boat again. We have done what we can do. It's up to fate from now on." Li Mu patted the sea turtle's shell and explained the current situation to it.
The two of them got up and returned to the cabin on the second floor. They washed their hands first and made sure there was no blood on their bodies before going to bed.
"This bed needs to be reinforced. I was in trouble because I forgot to sleep on the kang in winter. I almost got pushed to the ground. This guy doesn't care about our lives at all." After covering himself with the quilt, Qiao Sheng felt that this matter was very important.
Li Mu also agreed. He was really hanging just now. If he hadn't woken up first and supported him, Qiao Sheng would have kicked off the quilt while sleeping and fell flat on the deck. He would definitely be in pain for several days. Or it would be safer to make the bamboo bed shorter.
Qiao Sheng woke up quite early in the morning. In fact, he didn't wake up naturally, but was woken up by the sound of the sea outside the cabin.
Li Mu was no longer on the bamboo bed. He listened to the side and heard no water sounds in the bathroom. He guessed that it was either in the kitchen or at the bow.
When he packed up and left the cabin, Qiao Sheng saw Li Mu move a chair and sit next to the little turtle, holding a basin in his left hand and touching the turtle shell with his right hand.
Breakfast was ready in the kitchen. The weather was good, so Qiao Sheng moved the dining table and chairs to the second-floor terrace. The cassock cubs were very curious about the new turtle.
But it didn't delay their meal at all. After eating and drinking, they rushed to the bow. Seeing the group of animals suddenly rushing down, the sea turtle swimming in the sea became nervous first, and its front legs almost scratched the boat.
Qiao Sheng quickly put down the bowl of porridge in his hand, stood up and warned the guys in the sea and the guys rushing down, saying that both sides should not be impulsive, otherwise they would suffer while drinking porridge.
With the warning, the animals in the sea and on the bow were quite cautious. The task of touching the little turtle was given to Yousu. Jiashazi and Xinxin were squeezed behind Ah Dai. The two guys were still too young to know how to control their strength. In addition, the claws were thick, so they might crush the only intact half of the little turtle's head in one go.
Yousu was quite light-hearted. He first touched the little turtle's head wrapped in white cloth, and then touched the broken leg. It was obvious that he didn't use any strength, and the little turtle didn't even try to hide.
Jiashazi and Xinxin were still curious in the back, but with Ah Dai blocking them, they couldn't rush over, so they stuck their heads out from above its wings to take a look.
Seeing the actions of the turtles on the boat, the sea turtles in the sea were relieved and stopped making rash moves.
"It's so scary. If it hits the boat, we'll have to drink all the porridge." Seeing that everything was fine, Qiao Sheng was relieved and continued to eat breakfast.
Before he finished eating, the monk's robe cub downstairs climbed up again with a grunt. Qiao Sheng watched it perform for a long time and realized that this guy wanted fish and wanted to feed the little turtles. The turtles on the bow of the boat all looked upstairs, waiting for Qiao Sheng's action.
"They are all really smart. They come to ask for things and even know how to order the dumbest one around. You are just a fool. You are always happy to be ordered around." Qiao Sheng put down the bowl of porridge again and poked the monk who was standing upright to pray. This guy will do anything to get food. Even
if the little turtle can eat fish, it can't eat a whole fish in this situation. Qiao Sheng took a salmon that had been prepared for dinner, cut it into strips and put it in the rice bowl of the monk.
After all, this guy is still an animal, and the dumbest animal in the family. It is already the limit for a bear to go up and down the stairs. Carrying a rice bowl full of food up and down the stairs is simply making things difficult for it.
Li Mu couldn't stand it anymore, so he finished his breakfast in a few bites and told Qiao Sheng not to clean up. He went to feed the little turtle and then wash the dishes. Then he held the rice bowl of the little turtle in his left hand, pinched the skin of the little turtle's neck with his right hand, and took it downstairs piece by piece.
With Li Mu's participation, feeding became much easier. Several little guys squatted around the little turtle in an orderly manner. Li Mu stuffed the salmon strips into the breathing hole left for the little turtle. Fortunately, Qiao Sheng cut it finely, and the little turtle could really slurp it in.
