Pet King - Chapter 874

Chapter 874: 874




"Dad! What should we do? Shall we go to the pharmacy for Band-Aids?" Xiao Zhi asked nervously after he saw that the whale was bleeding .  

Huang told him in concern, "What good can Band-Aids do? We can't even see the wound . Let's wait for the Fishery Administration's boat . They'll figure something out . "　

"We can push and flip it so that the wound will be visible?" Xiao Zhi proposed again, still unwilling to give up . 　　

Huang shook his head . "Boy, did you forget? We tried it just now . It wouldn't move at all . "　　

"This time there are three of us! Besides, we are not pushing it back to the sea, just helping it flip…" Xiao Zhi mumbled in dissatisfaction . Unable to get an answer from his dad, he looked at Zhang Zian . 　　

"I think we can try," Zhang Zian said without much confidence . 　　

There were three of them, but there were really only two and half––Xiao Zhi was only half a man . 　　

"Dad! Come help us!" After getting Zhang Zian's support, Xiao Zhi ran to the minke whale's side in excitement, waving at his dad to hurry up . 　　

Zhang Zian also walked next to Xiao Zhi . He picked a location and stood there . 　　

Huang's back was hurting a little . He didn't want to help, but he was too embarrassed to refuse under such circumstances . He had to drop the plastic container and stand next to them . 　　

The three of them posed the same way: They pushed their arms against the minke whale's body and bent their bodies to about a 45 degree angle with the ground . 　　

"Are you ready?" Zhang Zian asked . 　　

The other two clenched their teeth and nodded . 　　

"One, two, three!"　　

As "three" was uttered, the three people breathed and shouted at the same time . With a shout in one voice, all their muscles tightened, and their feet sank deep into the sand .

Xiao Zhi's face was all red . Veins popped on Huang's forehead . 　　

Under the combined strength of the three of them, the minke whale's body tilted slightly, but not enough to make it flip . 　　

Their strength drained quickly . The whale's skin was too slippery, making it hard for them to find an appropriate spot to push . 　　

"Ah!" As Huang yelled, his hands slipped . The two others could not support the whale's body . It fell back heavily to its old position . 　　

Maybe it fell on the wound . The minke whale screamed sharply in pain; its body quivered vigorously . 　　

Zhang Zian had good reflexes . He grabbed Xiao Zhi and Huang immediately to step back, one in each hand, in case the swinging pectoral fins swept them . The force was as strong as being hit by a hammer . 　　

The three people stepped back to a safe distance, terrified . 　　



The minke whale only struggled a few times before it used up all its strength . Plus, the more it struggled, the higher its body temperature became . It stopped moving, exhausted, and in worse condition than before . 　　

"No! It's my fault! My hands slipped!" Huang sighed . 　　

"Shall we try again?" Xiao Zhi asked with his head up . 　　

Zhang Zian shook his head and told them, "It's not your fault . We don't need to try again . We overestimated our strength . Even if you didn't slip, we still couldn't move it . "　

He wasn't saying that for the sake of comforting them––they really were using all their strength . Even if Huang didn't slip, they could not last more than a few seconds . Three Zhang Zians might do the job, but Huang and Xiao Zhi were not strong enough . 　　

They were all sweaty, scared, and tired, especially Huang . His sweat would not stop; he almost passed out . 　　

It was almost noon . After such a long workout, they were all getting hungry and growing weaker . Xiao Zhi was still growing, so he became hungry faster . 　　

"All we can do is wait?" Xiao Zhi asked, swallowing his saliva . 　　

"Let's wait . After the tow boat arrives, they can tow it back to the sea and dress the wound . It won't be too much longer . " Huang kept wiping sweat away from his face . 　　

When the minke whale's wound was slightly above ground, Zhang Zian paid attention to observe it . He could not see it well, but he could at least be certain that if it was towed into the water with a boat, the wound would rub against the sand so badly, that the pain alone would be enough to kill it . Even if it was towed into the water successfully, it would swim away on its own; they might not get a chance to dress the wound . 　　

"Wait for me . I'll be right back . " Zhang Zian left, running towards his car . 　　



"Is he running away because he doesn't want to wait any longer?" Huang asked skeptically, staring at his back . 　　

"He shouldn't be…" Xiao Zhi was not sure, either . 　　

They waited at the same spot for a while, staring in the direction that Zhang Zian had left . Yet, a little while later, they heard a car honking beside them .

Zhang Zian drove his Wuling Hong Guang carefully, and stopped where the beach met solid ground . If he went any further, the tires might sink into the sand . 　　

He stopped the car, took some spare ropes from the trunk, and tied one end on the hitch . He walked towards the minke whale with the other end in his hand . 　　

One rope was not long enough . He tied two together and it was barely enough . It would be too short if the whale any further away . 　　

"Come . Help me get the rope under its body . " Zhang Zian passed the rope to Huang, while he stood at the other side the whale . Huang tied the rope to the rod, then thrusted it to the other side under the minke whale's body . 　　

They worked together, tied the minke whale around with the rope, and tied a solid knot .

"I'll start the engine . When I pull, you two push . This time it will work," Zhang Zian instructed them . 　　

After understanding his intentions, Huang and Xiao Zhi's faith was greatly boosted . 　　

As the engine roared, the wheels stirred up a lot of sand underneath, which hit the car's bottom loudly . The rope straightened immediately . 　　

Zhang Zian felt the car vibrate violently . He cheered on the Wuling Hong Guang in his heart . A good car was known in rough conditions!　　

In fact, he didn't really need Huang and Xiao Zhi's help . The engine alone was able to slowly flip the minke whale's body . As the father and son added their force, the minke whale flipped 180 degrees with a loud bang . 　　

Zhang Zian turned off the smoking engine, locked the car, untied the rope, and ran to the minke whale . 　　

"This is a bad wound! Did a human do this?" As Huang stared at the wound, he suddenly turned sympathetic and said with concern, "Who did this?"　　

Xiao Zhi's mouth was wide open . He felt the pain by looking that the whale's bloody wound . 　　

There was a glaring wound on one side of its back . It was not big, but it seemed very deep . It might have gotten it a while ago, and it had never healed . The wound's edge was slightly infected . 　　

A piece of wood pierced deep into the wound . The wood was thicker than a grown man's thumb, with broken stubble left outside . 　　

No wonder the pain was driving it crazy . A man with such a bad wound might have been dead already . 　　

After examining the wound, Zhang Zian said, "It seems to be a spear gun . The spear broke off inside . "　　

"How do we deal with it?" Huang and Xiao Zhi asked in one voice . 　　

"The spear must be removed . Otherwise, the wound will never heal and will be infected soon . It will die of sepsis," Zhang Zian said .
