Chapter 468 Saving the White Dolphins
After hearing the cry, Li Duoyu had already guessed what kind of marine creature it was, but the sound was obviously wrong, it was obviously a painful whine.
Looking in the direction of the sound, you can vaguely see that there are several pink and white big fish on the sea not far away.
They seem to be swimming with something on their heads, and they seem to have formed an interaction with Erbaiwu.
Every time Erbaiwu calls.
The group of big fish will respond.
Erbaiwu was very anxious and rushed to the beach, but the waves were constantly rolling up, and it had been bitten by a sea wolf before.
Even if it can swim, it dare not go into the sea.
Seeing that the big yellow dog was so anxious, the brother-in-law looked puzzled: "Duoyu, your dog knows those dolphins."
"I guess so. This dog has been raised on the fishing raft since he was a child and often plays with these dolphins."
But even if the white dolphins are in a very dangerous situation, Li Duoyu and his team are currently unable to go out to sea to rescue.
Dongjia Reef is a very dangerous place. If it is not high tide, even Li Duoyu dare not sail casually.
I think there is a basic principle in Dongjia Reef, that is, enter at half tide and exit at full tide, which is the safest.
Li Duoyu looked at his watch and it would take more than half an hour for the tide to rise.
Now they have no way out because their sampan is still stranded.
The magical thing is that these white dolphins seem to be very spiritual. They know that these people will help them and are not in a hurry to leave here.
It's just that the trapped white dolphin's cry seems to be getting weaker and weaker.
After about half an hour, the sea water hit the sampan and the hull was shaking.
Li Duoyu and the other two boarded the sampan with the fish they caught.
Although it was not a high tide, the tide was still rising very fast. After a while, the sampan floated up.
Li Duoyu used a bamboo pole to prop up the sampan to leave the shoal area. When he reached a relatively safe place, he dared to put down the propeller.
Following Erbaiwu's calls, the group of white dolphins pushed their companions and approached Li Duoyu's sampan.
There were seven white dolphins in total.
Li Duoyu couldn't recognize whether it was the group of white dolphins that Erbaiwu played with at the beginning.
But seeing Erbaiwu's anxious and excited look, he wanted to jump into the sea directly, and it was estimated that it was nine out of ten.
Just as Li Duoyu expected, the white dolphin that was pushed out of the sea by his companions was caught in the fishing net.
The tail fin was wrapped with circles of net ropes, and half of the body was covered with sticky nets.
Li Duoyu found that the net was quite new. It seemed that it hit the fisherman's sticky net, directly pulled the net apart and ran away.
The wound had not yet festered or anything like that. It seemed that it had just been caught in the sticky net not long ago.
Li Duoyu had predicted such a situation two years ago. As the national economy is getting better and better, the fishery has entered an era of great development.
The living environment of white dolphins is naturally getting worse and worse, especially during the Chinese New Year. The sea areas frequented by fishermen are full of sticky nets, which seriously squeezes the living space of white dolphins.
This white dolphin is also lucky. It happened that Erbaiwu was nearby, heard its voice, and responded.
Without Erbaiwu, Li Duoyu might not have noticed that there was anything wrong with the white dolphin's cry.
Maybe when he found it, it was already a dead body of a white dolphin.
Maybe because it was entangled in the fishing net for too long, this white dolphin had no strength and did not struggle at all.
If it hadn't been for its companions to keep it up and let it float to the surface to breathe, it would have drowned long ago.
Li Duoyu gently stroked the white dolphin. It must be said that the touch was really good, soft and fleshy, especially the head of the dolphin.
Erbaiwu also leaned out half of his body and gently touched the white dolphin trapped in the fishing net with his dog feet.
Seeing that Erbaiwu was so close to it, Li Duoyu frowned slightly. Maybe the trapped white dolphin was the one he often played with when he was a child.
It seems that this is its true love. If so, it is really too cruel for Hei Nuo.
Li Duoyu took out a fish knife and cut off the net ropes that were hanging on the tail fin of the white dolphin.
Once the net ropes were cut, the dolphin was obviously much more relaxed, and the tail fin would not be kept down by the net ropes.
Next.
Li Duoyu carefully untied the net rope embedded in the tail fin meat, and then used a fish knife to cut off the sticky net on its body.
Maybe because of Erbaiwu, the white dolphin never struggled.
The whole rescue process was very simple and very fast. It took only about five minutes for Li Duoyu to clean the fishing net on the white dolphin.
It was a pity that there was no alcohol and iodine for disinfection on the sampan, otherwise some could be applied to the white dolphin to prevent the wound from being infected.
The fishing net hanging on the white dolphin was cleared, but it still had no strength at all. It might be because it struggled for too long and needed some time to recover.
Li Duoyu temporarily fixed it to the side of the sampan to prevent it from drowning.
After about ten minutes, the injured white dolphin finally recovered its strength, cried twice, struggled twice, and swam out.
Brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng was really surprised. He really didn't expect that Li Duoyu had such a good relationship with this group of white dolphins.
"Duoyu, you seem to like saving these things very much."
"It's okay." Li Duoyu smiled.
Chen Wenchao said: "That's because you didn't see that Brother Yu mobilized an entire village to save a very large whale."
"That's it." Zhang Mingsheng glanced at Li Duoyu. He found that his brother-in-law was indeed different from other fishermen, but he couldn't tell what the specific difference was. Seeing dolphins circling around the sampan, Zhang Mingsheng grabbed a big octopus from the bucket and threw it in front of the newly rescued white dolphin.
The white dolphin opened its mouth and swallowed the octopus, making a happy "squeaking" sound.
Seeing humans feeding food, the remaining white dolphins immediately surrounded them, exposed their heads, and made a squealing sound.
Chen Wenchao smiled and said: "Don't feed too much, otherwise they may really rely on you."
When Chen Wenchao was setting up his net, he often fed these white dolphins. As a result, a group of street gangsters came to him every three days to beg for food.
Seeing the dolphins begging him for food, Zhang Mingsheng's eyes widened: "No more, we haven't even started closing the net yet, how can we feed you any seafood?"
The white dolphins circled the sampan for a while and then left. In order to take care of this dolphin that was entangled in the fishing net, the group had not eaten for a day or two.
After the white dolphins left, Li Duoyu picked up the broken nets. If these things fell into the sea, it would definitely be a nightmare for marine life.
Some experts have calculated that a broken net dropped into the sea is much more lethal than a broken net in the hands of fishermen.
It is definitely a cemetery for marine life, and the most terrifying thing is that it lasts for many years. Even if it is so bad that it loses its shape, it can still trap all kinds of marine life.
Therefore, once Li Duoyu sees a broken net, he will pick it up immediately. For him, it is just a simple effort.
But what is relatively regrettable is that even in later generations, most fishermen do not have this subconscious mind.
Li Duoyu has been to many fishing villages. Most of the docks are dirty and messy, with plastic foam and plastic garbage everywhere. It is rare for fishermen to take the initiative to clean up.
Most of them sweep the snow in front of the door and in public areas. Unless the local village committee is organized, no one will take care of it at all.
On the contrary, those Qianhai anchors are still good. Regardless of whether Qianhai is fake or not, they at least spread some positive energy.
But in the final analysis of this kind of thing, the local organizational department failed to fulfill its obligations. Li Duoyu can be regarded as a person who has lived two lives.
He knows the people at the bottom better and knows very well that they are "very passive" creatures.
Especially in places like rural areas, if there is no one to direct them, they will definitely look at me and I look at you, and then they will not take the initiative.
Obviously everyone wants to improve the environment, but they just can't afford to be such a good person.
After all, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. You should be "Lei Feng" and do good deeds.
There will definitely be nagging people behind your back, calling you a fool and saying that you must have some agenda and purpose.
Anyway, if you do good deeds, you may not get good feedback. In the end, no one will do it at all, and they don’t want to be the one who stands out.
However, it is easy to break this situation. Li Duoyu used the power of the village committee to set a rule.
That is to organize villagers to clean the dock every month, clean up the garbage on the shore, and desilt the dock once a year.
The problem was solved immediately, but for such a simple reason, many village cadres were unwilling to deal with it.
There were twists and turns, but after he became the village director, he immediately understood that it was too clean and not in the interests of village cadres.
After the white dolphin left.
Li Duoyu came to the place where the net was placed, fished out the buoy first, and hung the net rope on the net hoist.
Then the net lifter was started, and with a rumbling sound, the sticky net was pulled up from the seabed by the net lifter.
It takes very little effort on your part, just take the fish off the sticky net.
After seeing the net puller, his brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng said with envy: "This net puller is really easy to use. Our village still pulls the net by hand."
"Brother-in-law, I know the director of that machinery factory. If I want to come back to you to promote it, I can buy it with a loan."
"forget it."
Zhang Mingsheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had just returned to Shangang Village a few days ago and wanted to ask his parents to come to Dandan Island to celebrate the New Year.
As a result, as soon as he got home, those relatives got wind of it and came and scolded him miserably. Now his reputation in the village is very bad, and Shui Hua's reputation is even worse.
Unless he really makes a lot of money, he will not be able to return to this Shangang Village.
As the net lifting machine kept pulling up the sticky net, Chen Wenchao and his brother-in-law also began to untie the seafood from the net.
Maybe it’s because few fishermen come to Tung Kip Reef, but the resources are really good.
The first fish that came up was quite big, weighing about two pounds with yellow legs.
During the Chinese New Year, this kind of fish is also rising with the rising tide, and can be sold for 50 or 60 cents per pound.
The second one was a grease spot. When it was pulled up, the fish belly had been squeezed out, and the belly was as bulging as a ball.
Oil spots are not expensive.
Li Duoyu was too lazy to save it. There were fish caught almost every meter in the sticky net. When it was exaggerated, the entire sticky net was full of marine fish.
After a while, the basket they brought was half full of sea fish.
The speed at which Xiaochao and his brother-in-law unloaded the fish could not keep up with the speed at which the fish was loaded onto the net machine.
"There are too many fish. There are too many fish. Let the machine slow down. It can't keep up."
"Okay, let's take a rest first."
At this moment, Li Duoyu, standing at the bow, looked at the sticky net in front of him, and it seemed that a whole school of sea fish had been caught.
Although most of them were silver, the belly was still a little yellow. Li Duoyu's eyes widened. Although he couldn't see it clearly, he could already determine what kind of fish it was.
"No way, I'm so lucky."
Could it be that after rebirth, there is really a bonus of luck? (End of this chapter)
