A few people, big and small, gathered in a circle around the bamboo basket. They've seen chicks hatching many times, but this was truly the first time seeing a baby turtle hatch.
Even Jiang Hu and Erniang brought over a sack of peanuts, pouring them into a sieve, watching the baby turtles hatch while peeling peanuts.
Out of ten turtle eggs, only nine hatched, the other one showed no movement, most likely spoiled.
After all, they were all produced at the same time, then exposed to the same environment, sprinkled with Spiritual Spring water at the same time during dryness. The others have all hatched except this one.
However, no one said to throw it away. Instead, they buried the last one shallowly under fine sand and placed it back under the bed.
Let's wait a few more days; it might just be a late bloomer?
As for the other nine hatched baby turtles, Xiaomi gently put them into a bamboo basket to ensure they wouldn't crawl out.
