A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 445 Garbage in the Sea

"There's so much trash, and the seawater here smells awful."

When she swam to a certain area of ​​the sea, Yun Jiao looked at the various industrial garbage floating on the surface of the sea and the unpleasant stench in the seawater, and felt very irritated.

In this area alone, there are many marine creatures that have accidentally ingested the garbage.

Today we pulled plastic bags out of the throats of two sea turtles.

They also rescued a dolphin that was entangled in a fishing net.

And the orca that nearly died after eating marine debris.

She released the orca into the lake on the island.

Yun Jiao dislikes polluted oceans; she prefers clean, pristine seas.

The vigorous development of industry has caused great damage to the environment.

But at this point, people didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the situation.

With a dark expression, Yun Jiao swam towards the polluted area of ​​the sea.

The closer you get, the more unbearable it becomes.

Perhaps because her desire to keep the ocean from being polluted was too strong, Yun Jiao herself did not notice that light blue scales had appeared on her body.

She grabbed a tattered fishing net and asked the orcas to help her hold the other end, scooping the trash floating on the surface into the net.

Where her body swam, the polluted seawater was gradually being purified.

"Where are we going to throw all this trash?"

Yun Jiao had a headache.

Never mind, let's get it to the shore first and call someone to haul all this garbage away.

Disposing of garbage is not her responsibility.

Yun Jiao and the orcas worked tirelessly and finally managed to move most of the trash to the shore.

"I'm so tired. I wish we could just drive the seawater to carry all this trash to the shore."

It's a pity she doesn't have that ability now, but she could in her past life.

Exhausted, Yun Jiao lay down on the orca's back and fell fast asleep.

When I opened my eyes the next day, I was still in the sea.

She yawned, and just as she was about to get up, she suddenly realized that something was wrong with her legs.

"These are...scales?"

Several scales sprouted from the outside of her thighs.

It looks a lot like fish scales.

But it is more beautiful and noble than fish scales.

It looks more like it's carved from top-quality blue crystal, and it's thin and looks very fragile.

But a touch reveals that the scales are extremely hard and sharp.

Normal people would be scared if these scales grew on their bodies, but Yun Jiao wouldn't.

She was originally a mermaid.

"That's strange. Could it be that I can become a mermaid in this lifetime?"

"Is it because of that mermaid pearl?"

How could she not know that consuming a mermaid pearl could turn an ordinary person into a mermaid?
Forget it, forget it.

Even if she were to become a merman, it wouldn't affect her much.

If you're afraid of being discovered and don't want to live a life of hiding, you can always just hand yourself over to the state.

Well, after spending time together, Yun Jiao has developed a certain level of trust in this country.

However, she should avoid revealing her merman identity unless absolutely necessary.

When I woke up and returned to the shore, I found that there were quite a few people there.

They were all pointing and commenting on the pile of garbage on the shore.

"Why is so much trash suddenly appearing?"

"I don't know. I came here early this morning and found this mountain of garbage."

"Good heavens, where did all this trash come from?"

Yun Jiao blew a bubble in the water.

She put the trash in such a remote place, yet people still come here.

Let's go back first.

After she got ashore, she went home.

"Grandma, Auntie, is Uncle home?"

When Wang Mei saw Yun Jiao return, she said, "Your uncle went to the village chief's house. Xiao Wu and the others called, and he's on the phone."

Yun Jiao said "Oh," went over to help feed the pigs, and then ran to the village chief's house.

As for something as trivial as not returning home for one night, her family was relieved to know she had gone to the sea.

"Uncle."

Yun Jiao ran to the village chief's door and shouted.

Yun Linhe pulled her along, saying, "You've come at the perfect time. Your parents are asking you about it."

Yun Jiao jogged over and answered the phone, speaking softly to the person on the other end, as if she were being coquettish.

"We haven't eaten yet, Mother, have you eaten?"

"Ninth Brother has arrived. Remember to visit him and call back."

I chatted with my family on the other end of the phone for a while before hanging up.

After paying the village chief for the phone call, Yun Jiao pulled Yun Linhe along.

"Uncle, last night I brought a lot of trash to the shore with the orca. Could you help me find someone from the town's landfill to collect it? Remember to bring a tractor, otherwise it won't fit."

Yun Linhe looked bewildered: "What? Where did you get this garbage from?"

Yun Jiao gets really angry when she talks about this.

"You all don't know, there's so much trash in the sea now, the water is polluted, and many marine animals have died from ingesting the trash. Yesterday I..."

Yun Jiao went on and on about marine debris and pollution.

Yun Linhai frowned. These fishermen live by the sea; they can be said to have been raised by the sea.

Naturally, no one wants the ocean to be polluted.

However, industrial development is an inevitable trend. Nowadays, many factories have been built, and much of the wastewater they discharge flows into the ocean. In addition, there is more and more garbage, which has made life more convenient.

Even if they knew, they wouldn't have the power to stop those factories.

"Okay, I understand. Jiaojiao, you did a great job."

Yunlinhe didn't bother with anything else. After having dinner at home, he rode his motorcycle to town.

Not long after, the people from the landfill arrived in a tractor.

I was shocked to see so much garbage.

"Where did this trash come from?"

They were piled up neatly, clearly indicating that someone had placed them there.

But who would have the time to collect trash and pile it up here?

Yunlinhe: "My niece picked it up."

The onlookers, who were initially curious about someone coming to collect trash, were shocked by what he said.

"Where did Jiaojiao get all this trash? And why is it piled up here?"

Yunlinhe: "Jiaojiao went to the sea last night and found an area covered in trash, and many fish had died because of it. She and the orca collected all the trash and piled it up here. This morning she asked me to find someone to remove the trash." Everyone was full of admiration upon hearing this.

"Jiaojiao may be small, but she's someone who really does great things."

Of course, some people didn't take it seriously, thinking that Yun Jiao was just making trouble for no reason.

"The sea is so vast, what impact can a little bit of trash have? Maybe it will be eroded away by the seawater in a while?"

The garbage collector looked at the person who spoke upon hearing this.

"That's not right. This garbage won't be eroded away in the sea for decades, but it's making the water worse. Fish can't eat this stuff, so where will it go?"

They exclaimed, "If there's too much garbage, the water will only get worse and worse. It's a good thing that so much garbage has been brought up."

However, people nowadays still have too little concept of environmental protection.

So they watched the commotion for a bit, then quickly dispersed to go about their business.

In a few days...

News came quickly from Yun Xiaojiu's side that he had been successfully selected.

I will be on stage then; although I won't be the main character, I will still play a fairly important role.

Yun Jiao was happy for him.

No matter when they start performing, Yun Jiao can always take time off to go and watch.

The whole family went.

But there's still some time to go.

Yun Jiao continued with her work.

Since the villagers installed telephones, it has become much easier for them to contact their brothers.

The eldest and second eldest brothers' careers also got off to a good start.

My older brother has excellent eyesight and always ranks among the top shooters, so he was sent to special forces for training.

The second brother became a naval officer.

However, it wasn't in Haishi, but in other areas.

But the navy was no big deal to Yun Chenxi, who had grown up by the sea.

He also trained very well in the army.

Hearing the news brought relief to the whole family.

They call each other every now and then; their family isn't short of money for phone calls.

That day, Yun Jiao came to the island to see the baby orca that had undergone surgery to remove garbage from its stomach.

He and his third senior brother performed the surgery together.

Third Senior Brother Ying Chengye was also very interested in learning that he was planning to establish a medical station on the island specifically to help marine animals receive treatment.

He has a deep understanding of animals, but previously he focused on terrestrial animals.

There is very little research on the ocean.

After all, he can't dive, his swimming skills are poor, and he certainly can't go to the sea every day to find injured or sick marine life.

"This little guy is recovering quite well."

Ying Chengye also came today, mainly to observe the baby killer whale.

There are also dolphins, sea turtles and a shark in the lake.

The sharks were separated by a net.

These were all people who were injured or sick, and Yun Jiao had pulled them back.

"The dolphin's injury has healed, so I'm releasing it back into the sea."

Yun Jiao leaped into the lake, easily grabbed the dolphin that came up to her and hugged it, then dragged it ashore.

Wrap it in a damp long towel.

"Don't move around, it's time to go back to the sea."

The dolphin was moaning and flapping its tail.

Watching Yun Jiao, such a small person, carrying such a huge fish so easily, walking towards the edge of the island, I was shocked and disillusioned every time I saw it, even though it wasn't the first time.

The roads leading in and out of the island have been repaired, and there are cars now.

Although it is a tricycle.

Yun Jiao tossed the dolphin onto the tricycle and called her third senior brother to drive.

Once at the beach, she picked up the dolphin and threw it directly into the sea.

"Go find your tribe."

"Whoa, whoa..."

'Don't go, don't go, my darling, let's stick together...'

These dolphins are even stickier than killer whales.

Yun Jiao couldn't take it anymore: "Get out of here, or I'll beat you up!"

The dolphin looked pitifully at Yun Jiao, and then ran aground right in front of the two of them.

Ying Chengye: …………

"Is it... unwilling to leave?"

"They're quite loyal, aren't they?"

Yun Jiao said expressionlessly, "No, it needs to be taught a lesson."

Yun Jiao went over, grabbed the dolphin's tail, and spun around to throw it.

"Go away!"

Fly far away.

"Third senior brother, let's hurry up. This guy is a sticky monster. Every time he sees me, he sticks to me for a long time. He's also cheeky and always provokes the little killer whale and the sea turtle. Later, when he saw that the shark couldn't get over, he often provoked it and even spat on it."

"Without it, the animals in the lake should be more well-behaved."

Ying Chengye was both amused and exasperated; this dolphin was quite unique, huh?

As they drove back in their tricycle, they spotted a leopard lying by the lake, its bright green eyes fixed on a large fish in the water.

Yun Jiao rolled her eyes: "Why are you here again!"

It was a clouded leopard, an indigenous inhabitant of this island.

Ever since a few big fish started living in this lake, this guy has been coming over here from time to time to keep an eye on things.

But they didn't go down into the lake to catch them, because they couldn't catch any at all; they could only watch with envy.

When they first met by the lake, Yun Jiao was worried that this guy might be too wild and attack people.

Although the clouded leopard was wary of her, it didn't attack and quickly ran away.

Yun Jiao thought it was an accident, but she didn't expect it to happen again the next day.

Seeing that it didn't bite the injured people in the lake, Yun Jiao stopped paying attention to it.

I even occasionally bring it meat.

When she offered it to the clouded leopard, it was quite arrogant and wouldn't eat a single bite.

But when Yun Jiao put the meat aside and returned after leaving for a while, she found that the meat was gone.

The clouded leopard remained standing there, slowly licking its paws, not even giving Yun Jiao a glance, as if the meat wasn't for it.

After that, the furry big guy came often, and the man and the leopard became somewhat familiar with each other, but their relationship was neither distant nor close.

Yun Jiao really wanted to hug and pet the proud big cat, but every time she got close to it, it would cleverly run away.

They've always maintained this distance, neither too close nor too far.
