Chapter 876 Rising Tide

The minke whale turned its black and white eyeballs and stared at Zhang Zian, while he responded with a calm and gentle gaze while stroking its smooth and soft skin with his palm.

Zhang Zian didn't know what made the difference, was it eye contact, tone of voice, or physical contact? But he was sure that it was trying to restrain itself just now, trying not to hurt people in the struggle, which proved that it understood that they were helping it relieve its pain.

The pain of suturing the wound once is not as painful as cutting the flesh and pulling out the harpoon, but at least a dozen or even dozens of stitches are required. Can it bear the continuous pain?

Zhang Zian hesitated, should he call Sun Xiaomeng over? After all, she is a practicing veterinarian, and she is much better at stitching animals than he is.

He thought about it, although she had sewed many wounds, but they were all for small animals like cats and dogs. She probably didn't have similar experience for such a huge whale.

Besides, it would take a certain amount of time for her to gain the trust of the minke whale, and what they lacked most was time.

As for the injection of anesthetic, for such a large and heavy animal, she may not be sure about the dose of anesthetic. Less is useless, and more will make it unable to wake up.

Zhang Zian's ankles felt cold, and when he looked down, the sea water had already covered his feet.

The tide is rising.

"Ah! The tide is rising!" Xiaozhi also discovered this situation.

Zhang Zian stood up and looked at the sea, secretly anxious, "Why hasn't the fishery tugboat come yet? This efficiency is too low..."

Rising tide is the best chance to drag minke whales back into the water. If you miss it, you will be in trouble when the tide is low.

Wow! Wow!

The tide comes in waves due to the gravitational pull of the moon.

Each time higher than the last. The cold water makes minke whales more comfortable, but it will hinder the movement of humans. When the tide reaches their waists, they will not be able to stand firmly in the sea and must retreat, otherwise they may be in danger.

Lao Huang's cell phone rang, and he answered it quickly.

"Where did you two go wild? Are you still going home for dinner!" A sturdy voice came from the speaker of the mobile phone, and Zhang Zian who was beside him could hear clearly.

Lao Huang smiled awkwardly at Zhang Zian, handed the kite kidnapper to Xiao Zhi, and ran a few steps away to answer the phone.

"Go back right away! Go back right away! We encountered a stranded whale on the beach, and it was injured, and we are helping it return to the sea..."

Old Huang's voice floated from afar.

"Injured? Who was injured? Xiaozhi was injured? Let me tell you that the surname is Huang. If Xiaozhi is injured, I will fight with you!"

"No! It's not Xiaozhi, it's a whale that was injured and ran aground on the beach..."

"Bullshit! Do you think I believe this reason?"

Lao Huang was scolded bloody by his wife, so he had to take a photo of the minke whale and pass it on, which calmed his wife's anger and told him to go home quickly after finishing.

Zhang Zian couldn't help sighing, it's better to be single!

Xiaozhi, on the other hand, has become accustomed to his parents' daily life, pestering Zhang Zian to ask various questions, because he feels that Zhang Zian can do many tricks with a Swiss Army Knife, which makes him feel very miraculous.

Lao Huang hastily responded with a few words, hung up the phone, and walked over with an awkward smile on his face, "I don't even bother to be as knowledgeable as a woman who has never seen the world... Let's continue."

Seeing that the tide is rising higher and higher, it is really impossible to delay.

Zhang Zian had already told the father and son what to do, so he stopped talking and patted the top of the Minke Whale's head, ready to start sewing.

The flesh near the edge of the wound has already suppurated, and this part of rotten flesh must be cut off before suturing, which is very painful.

Every time Zhang Zian cuts down, he can feel the trembling of the minke whale. It may be because of his comfort, or it may be that the rising sea water makes it feel at ease. Although it is in pain, the strength of its struggle is very limited, and it just shakes its head. Or wagging the tail, keeping the body as still as possible.

Fortunately, the subcutaneous fat of whales is very thick, and the fat does not contain nerves. There is not much suppurated flesh, and the area of ​​the wound itself is relatively small. There is no festering in the deeper part. The meat was removed.

The sea water continued to rise, and in a blink of an eye, it was already below half of the calf, and the water under their feet was already stained red with whale blood.

Zhang Zian was tired and nervous, his head was covered with sweat, and the sweat hung drippingly on his eyebrows. It was very itchy, but he didn't have time to wipe it off.

After cutting the rotten meat, Xiao Zhi handed him the needle with the kite string.

Zhang Zian's right hand held the needle with the small pliers on the Swiss Army Knife, and with his left hand, he tried to gather the skin of the minke whale together, and stuck the needle into its skin like sewing clothes.

The minke whale is getting used to the pain more and more, or it may be numb to the pain, and the needle and thread passing through the flesh did not make it struggle more violently.

When Lao Huang and Xiao Zhi were cutting the rotten flesh, they had already turned their heads and couldn't bear to look at it. Just looking at it, they felt that their skin was also hurting.

Zhang Zian had never done any needlework, and the Minke Whale itself was trembling slightly. The stitches were so twisted and crooked, it was ugly as hell, and it was not symmetrical at all. If it was an exam in a medical school, he would definitely be sentenced to failure. pass.

However, the results of the stitches were almost immediate, with less and less blood coming out as the wound closed.

The whale's skin is too smooth and tough, and this "needle" is not very sharp. Zhang Zian's suturing skills are even worse. After a long time, the tiger's mouth in his right hand became sore and numb. As it trembled several times, his needle Slipping from tiny pliers, even the Swiss Army Knife itself nearly fell out of your hand.

Although the needle slipped, it would not fall into the water because it was attached to the cotton thread.

If it is a surgery on humans, the needle must be replaced at this time, or at least re-sterilized, but time is running out, so I can’t take care of that much at this time, so I can clamp the needle again and continue to suture. Anyway, whales have much stronger resistance than humans. I hope It can get through.

Due to the relatively large range of movements of the whale swimming in the sea, Zhang Zian was worried that the wound would burst during swimming, and the stitches would be densely stitched, consuming a long kite string.

Lao Huang set out the line carefully, looking up at the surrounding sea from time to time, looking for fishery administration boats.

In his busy schedule, Zhang Zian asked Xiao Zhi to leave this place and back away, because the rising sea water had covered the calves of the two grown men. Xiao Zhi is short and light in weight, and was tossed about by the tide, and may be swept away at any time.

Xiaozhi couldn't bear to leave, but under his father's urging, he retreated further away, stood on the reef and stared at them worriedly, fearing that they would be washed away by the sea.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a black spot on the horizon.

After rubbing his eyes and taking a closer look, he exclaimed in surprise: "Dad! Look over there! There's a boat coming!"...
