Chapter 68

The busy rattan pot cleaners worked until the sun set, and finally cleaned the turtle's back. Qiao Sheng had been squatting on the floating board, and when she stood up, she felt a little dizzy, and it was Li Mu who pulled her to steady herself.

The two were just about to send the sea turtle away, but unexpectedly, the sea turtle suddenly turned 180 degrees, with its belly facing up and its back facing down.

"Brother Turtle, let's talk about it. It's not that we don't want to clean it for you, but it's getting dark, and its belly is so tender that we can't see it. If it gets hurt, you won't be able to do it, right? Please come early tomorrow." Qiao Sheng smiled flatteringly, fearing that the other party would come to pressure the bow of the boat if they didn't agree with him.

But the sea turtle that had looked so smart before didn't react at all. It just stared at her. She whispered to Li Mu, wondering if the sunlight had taken away its intelligence and why it looked stupid.

"It's dark now. We can't see the location of the canopy. Can you come tomorrow morning and we continue?" Li Mu said it simply and clearly, and the sea turtle seemed to understand it. It turned over and swam away.

"No, what's the difference between what we said? Is it targeting me?" Qiao Sheng didn't understand and was even shocked.

Li Mu said that maybe the words she said were too profound. Qiao Sheng thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what she said was profound.

After working so hard all day, both of them were almost exhausted. They went upstairs and set up a stall in the greenhouse for a while. They still had to eat dinner. Qiao Sheng got up and baked a few more pancakes with the dough left over from lunch, and simply fried a few side dishes. After staying outdoors for a day, the vinegar and pepper soup with a lot of ginger must be a must. One bowl of it will definitely make you sweat.

After dinner, Qiao Sheng collapsed on the kang, motionless, without strength or mood. Li Mu washed the dishes and went downstairs to wash up. He came back and climbed onto the kang and almost fell asleep. It seemed that he was also very tired. Qiao Sheng insisted on getting up and washing up. He went to the kitchen to check the firewood in the stove. After making sure that Li Mu had filled it up, he returned to the greenhouse.

The two of them slept almost till dawn. When they woke up, neither of them moved. They stared at the deck in a daze until the swaying ship suddenly stopped. They sighed at the same time,

thinking that it was time for work again. Li Mu got up and went to the kitchen to bake sweet potatoes and porridge. After a simple bite, he went downstairs to work. The turtle was really in a hurry. After the ship was stopped, it started to shake violently for a while, then stopped for ten minutes, and then shook violently again. It seemed that if you don't come out, I will shake you out.

Qiao Sheng hesitated for a while, and finally got up resignedly. In the end, it was still a little dangerous for Li Mu to go out alone. After breakfast, she came to the shore where she had fought yesterday again and continued to clean the rattan pot with Li Mu.

In the end, there were much less on the belly than on the back. After a busy morning, they finally cleaned it up. The two of them were also careful. Li Mu cleaned the middle and the outside first. After returning to the boat, Qiao Sheng cleaned the side close to them.

"Call it a day." Qiao Sheng patted the turtle shell on the belly of the sea turtle, indicating that it was finished and could leave.

The sea turtle really didn't miss it, and turned over and swam away.

"Why do I feel like my grandma's dog, eating and leaving?" Qiao Sheng couldn't help sighing as he watched the sea turtle swimming farther and farther away.

Li Mu looked into the distance, and then reminded her not to sigh about anything else, because the two rattan pots on the bow were enough for them to torment.

Facts have proved that rattan pots are not necessarily delicious, but they are really hard to clean. The work location has been moved from the bow to the cabin. After lifting a floating board, the two of them took a pig hair brush and began to rub these rattan pots. It must be said that the vitality of these things is really tenacious. They were pried off the sea turtle yesterday and left outdoors in the low temperature for a night, and they are still alive today.

Qiao Sheng brushed the mud off and said that it looked really disgusting. She felt annoyed after brushing half of the bucket, and left the other bucket untouched. She divided it into four parts, one for Xia Beibei, one for Lin Haiyang, and one for Fang Yueyi. Li Mu sent the remaining part to Pei Hong, telling them to just brush it clean and steam it.

Of course, she also received gifts in return. Xia Beibei sent her a pound of brown sugar, Fang Yueyi a roe deer skin, and Lin Haiyang didn't send anything back, but wrote a letter of gratitude. The words were so gorgeous that she asked Li Mu in amazement, this person couldn't be from the Chinese department, why was he showing off his skills in writing a thank-you letter.

"That time in the bamboo forest, he seemed to say that he was a mechanical and electrical engineer, a pure science student." Li Mu recalled.

Qiao Sheng smiled and said that it was not like that. She also forwarded a copy of Lin Haiyang's letter to him. After reading the letter, Li Mu silently said that it was a slick tongue.

For lunch, a rattan pot was cooked. The iron pot at home had no lid. Qiao Sheng obviously saw that the water was boiling, and the meat in the rattan pot was still moving. She was shocked immediately. This thing was too scary. If she hadn't watched small videos before and saw bloggers eating it, she would definitely pour it out now.

When eating, I just felt that it was quite fresh, just like the taste of seafood. The rest was that it was a bit strenuous to eat, and I had to pull the meat out of the hole.

The conclusion after the meal was that this thing was suitable as a snack. You can eat it while watching a TV series or something. It's too tiring to eat it as a meal.

After lunch, Li Mu went to wash the dishes, and Qiao Sheng went downstairs to feed the animals at home. The chicks have grown quite big. According to Li Mu's estimation, it won't be long before they can eat eggs. The bear

has been tied up for the past few days and has been living in silence. When he sees Qiao Sheng, he always wants to show his affection by making a sound. The sound he makes is so ugly that he is dumbfounded, and then he falls into a cycle of self-loathing.

The cassock cub is quite normal. He can eat and drink. Sometimes he strongly expresses the idea of ​​eating meat, and his way of expression is also very simple. He just doesn't eat fruits and vegetables. Qiao Sheng is also bad. He asked her to take two of the rattan pots left over from the meal and put them in the bear's den, which means that it depends on you whether you can eat it.

The rabbits have been very depressed recently. Qiao Sheng thinks it may be related to the death of several rabbits a few days ago. The female rabbit that had a difficult birth before also gave birth successfully. I don’t know if she was frightened and had a miscarriage or hit her stomach. A total of eight rabbits were born, but only six survived, and the remaining two were stillborn.

The dead rabbits were discovered by Li Mu when he woke up in the morning. As for the fact that the rabbits were stillborn, it was Shuzhu who told him about it. Qiao Sheng didn’t understand how the man and the duck communicated. It felt that species all over the world were evolving, but she was left behind. In

the afternoon, the two continued to inspect the boat. All the damaged walls were replaced with new ones. This boat cannot tolerate any carelessness, and their lives must be protected by it.

While working, they felt a familiar stop. They went out to see that it was the big sea turtle that had just left at noon. It was back again, with a lot of things on its back. It turned sideways and fell on the bow of Qiao Sheng's boat.

When Qiao Sheng looked at the two big sea turtles at the bow, he felt his scalp tingling. This was a reward and a new job. The shells of the two sea turtles as big as sea basins were also covered with rattan pots, which looked very scary.

Li Mu had already taken out a machete from his wrist bag, moved a low stool, put the sea turtle on it and began to pry the rattan pots. Qiao Sheng originally wanted to take a look at the reward first, but under the intimidation of the big sea turtle's eyes, he was forced to sit down and move another sea turtle over to start working.

This small-headed turtle had a limited amount of vine canopies. It was soon cleared out, and then a problem was discovered. The vine canopies on the turtle were deeply parasitic, and there were holes in the turtle shell on the abdomen. It was hard to say whether it could survive if it was thrown back into the sea.

The two of them didn't dwell on it for too long. Li Mu returned to the storage room, took out artificial skin film, Panax notoginseng powder and cod liver oil, sprinkled Panax notoginseng powder on the perforated turtle shell, cut a small piece of skin film and pasted it on top, and fed both turtles some cod liver oil. It was obvious that the two turtles became much more lively.

Without them having to move, it turned over and climbed down into the sea. After the three sea turtles swam away, Qiao Sheng had time to look at the thank-you gift from the sea turtle. It must be said that the ocean is its home, and it can give whatever it wants.

Looking at the black diamond-shaped fish with a long tail that occupies the largest area, Qiao Sheng turned it over uncertainly. When she saw its white belly, small eyes and small mouth, she was sure that the sea turtle had actually given them the hard currency of the ocean - the manta ray.

"Is this sea turtle a devil? This fish really has to thank it. It is so noble that it took another species as a thank-you gift." Qiao Sheng reached out and poked the manta ray, and its mouth was actually moving.

If it was already dead, she would eat it, but she didn't dare to eat a live one. After discussing it, the two pushed the manta ray back into the sea. The fish stayed still for a while before swimming away silently.

"I've only seen this fish in the aquarium. I thought it was cute and ugly when I saw it in the tank, but it's actually quite scary when it's in front of me up close." Qiao Sheng suddenly felt that marine life was also quite scary.

Li Mu also thought that she should eat something she had seen before. For those she had never seen before, it's okay if they are weird in shape. I don't know if they are poisonous. Sometimes it's really hard to eat those that look weird.

The remaining turtle thank-you gift actually contained natural sponges. This thing is good. It's very convenient for taking a bath and washing your face. The rest are some corals and shellfish.

The shellfish were placed in the food box in the kitchen, and the corals were placed in the box in the storage room. Qiao Sheng thought that these things could only be used as decorations. Li Mu said that they could be used, but two laymen could not use them properly, so they simply put them away to avoid poisoning themselves.

Three pieces of natural sponges were left, one was placed in the bathroom on the first floor dedicated to Li Mu, and the other two were placed in the bathroom on the second floor. Qiao Sheng decided to use one for washing her face and one for bathing. She also asked Li Mu to make sure that he did not need to keep one for washing his face before putting the rest away.

This kind of natural sponge can be used for a long time. This big turtle gave her so many thank-you gifts, and this one was the one she liked the most. She instantly felt that the effort they put in and the little medicine they gave the little turtle were worth it.

When the two of them went around and replaced all the damaged walls of the boat with new ones, the bow of the boat suddenly sank. When they came out, they could only see the back of the big turtle going away and a shark nearly four meters long on the bow of their boat.

Due to the large size of the sharks, the large planting pots they had just built yesterday were destroyed again with three on one side.

Qiao Sheng was worried. This could not be repaired at all. It was almost finished, but there was someone who made things worse!
