Chapter 809 Typhoon

So far, Liu Ying still doesn't know what caused her to contract tetanus, whether it was a long-stocked fishhook bought at a small shop for 20 cents, or the dirt on the hook when crucian carp struggled on the ground, but In short, it was the most serious illness she had since she was a child. Fortunately, there were no sequelae and she grew up healthily.

In fact, to a certain extent, she is quite grateful for the little fishhook. If this disease, grandma will not show much love to her, and she may continue to spend every afternoon alone, only with the fish in the water tank. Crucian carp and loach are companions.

As a small coastal fishing village, fish are food and commodities for the villagers. Big fish are people’s food, and small fish and shrimps are food for chickens and ducks. Few people treat fish as pets, and of course they don’t treat fish. habit.

Grandma's old eyes are dim. It was Xiao Liuying who first discovered the white film on the clownfish. Both grandparents and grandchildren didn't know what the white film was. Grandma even said at the beginning that the fish was shedding its skin, so don't worry.

Do fish shed their skin? Seems unlikely.

The condition of the clownfish is getting worse, they have stopped eating, no matter what they are fed, they will not eat.

In the past, they liked minced shrimp meat the most. The small fish and shrimps in the fishing village were not worth much, and they were all used to feed poultry. Grandma peeled off the shells of the prawns and fed them with a kitchen knife. They were happy to grab the food, but now they don’t eat it. They just let the prawns sink to the bottom of the tank and the water becomes cloudy .

Xiao Liuying raised crucian carp and loach for a period of time. She knew that the fish would not starve to death if they did not eat for a few days. Supported.

The grandparent and grandson looked at the weak clownfish helplessly.

"I didn't have the idea of ​​changing the water at the time, because I was used to keeping crucian carp and loach, so I thought it didn't matter if the water was muddy." With a mixed smile on her lips, Liu Ying glanced at the clear and transparent aquarium in the aquarium.

Grandma said that the fish sellers at the temple fair kept the fish in very clear water. She thought it might be because of the hot weather, and the shrimp meat was soaked in the water and soaked, so she suggested changing the water.

At that time, the rainy season had come, and it was raining outside, and the rain was heavy, and the road was difficult to walk, and there was no way to go to the beach to bring sea water.

So, grandma thought of a way, poured out half of the water in the fish tank, and then filled in half of the well water, just make do with it, and bring fresh seawater when the rain stopped.

The small courtyard where they live has their own well, which is dry during the dry season. After the rainy season comes, there is basically no need for tap water.

Xiao Liuying is very worried about the life of the clownfish,

She thinks that clownfish live in seawater, so is it okay to put them in a fish tank with half freshwater and half seawater? But she couldn't think of any other way, so she helped grandma change the water in the fish tank.

They fished out the clownfish first.

Usually clownfish are very smart and not easy to catch, but now they are as slow as sick people, and they are caught in a flash, put into a separate container with the clearer upper part of the water, and then the lower part is particularly turbid Pour out the seawater, add half of the tap water in the fish tank, then pour in the reserved seawater, stir it a little, and put the dying clownfish back into the fish tank.

After changing the water, the grandparents and grandson waited hopelessly, waiting for the clownfish to get better while waiting for the rain outside to stop.

However, a miracle happened.

The clownfish, which they thought was doomed to die, slowly regained their spirits, and the albino membranes also faded.

During this period, the oxygen pump that grandma bought from the temple fair kept running, gurgling and injecting strings of air bubbles into the water.

Zhang Zian nodded and said: "You guys are lucky. You have found the right method. The clownfish has white film disease. It can indeed be improved by using fresh water. That is, put the clownfish in a fish tank with half seawater and half freshwater. Around 1.01, it can kill bacteria that are not suitable for low-salinity seawater, and clownfish itself can tolerate low-salinity seawater better than bacteria, but the effect varies from fish to fish, and the time should not be too long, otherwise the clownfish will also die .”

"Can it still be like this?" Jiang Feifei heard for the first time that seawater fish can still be placed in a half-seawater and half-freshwater environment.

Liu Ying looked at the camera in a blink of an eye, and said with a wry smile: "It was really luck at the time, my grandma and I didn't understand anything, we just raised them blindly, and unexpectedly caused the white film of the clownfish to fade..."

Neither she nor grandma knew that the fresh water had played a role, and thought it was because of changing the water.

When the rain stopped in the evening, they caught the last rays of the setting sun, and before it was completely dark, they ran to the seaside to fetch seawater together, and put the clownfish back into the seawater. After two or three days, they almost fully recovered up.

She and Grandma both cheered with joy when they finally opened their mouths to eat the shredded shrimp she was feeding.

Zhang Zian analyzed: "Actually, treating white film disease with low-salinity seawater may not be effective. It depends on the physique of the fish. If the fish is too weak, it may even accelerate the death of the fish. In addition, you quickly replaced it with fresh ones. Seawater, it's good luck not to soak the clownfish for too long in low-salinity seawater."

"What happened later? Why did the clownfish die again?" Jiang Feifei asked.

Liu Ying sighed, "As I said earlier, the rainy season is here."

After the white film disease of the clownfish recovered, it has been living a very healthy life. She and grandma changed the water for them every now and then, and later heard that clownfish are suitable for living with sea anemones, so they bought sea anemones for them, and arranged the small fish tanks in a decent way.

In summer and autumn, typhoons often pass through Xiaoyu Village. The villagers have long been accustomed to it, but they still cannot avoid suffering certain losses.

It was a particularly sultry summer afternoon, the air seemed to be frozen, and it was difficult to even breathe, and the sweat never stopped. Her and grandma's undershirts were all soaked, and they were still wiping sweat while blowing on the electric fan.

The weather is too hot, there is no air conditioner at home, the water in the fish tank feels like it can cook fish, the clownfish is not in good condition, listless.

Grandma went out to take a look at the sky in the southeast, and comforted Xiao Liuying that it might be raining soon, and the temperature would drop after the rain.

Sure enough, before grandma finished speaking, the loudspeaker rang in the direction of the center of the village. It was the village head who informed everyone that he had just received an emergency notice from the superior meteorological station, saying that a typhoon was about to cross the border, and there might be thunderstorms and strong winds in a short time. Hail, the villagers are asked to be prepared for wind and disaster prevention.

The villagers walked home in small groups, including grandma's former poker friends. Everyone cursed at the typhoon, and all kinds of foul words passed over the courtyard wall and fell into Xiao Liuying's ears.

Grandma sighed and said that when the typhoon came, the fishing ground contracted by the family would reduce production again. She said that maybe even the seine net would be torn or swept away by the typhoon, and it would cost nothing.

At that time, Liu Ying didn't understand so much, she was always staring at the listless clownfish, worried about them.

Immediately afterwards, the parents called and said that they would stay in the fishing ground and try their best to reduce losses. They told the grandparents and grandchildren to pay attention to safety, close the doors and windows of the house, and lift electrical appliances and food to high places to avoid water ingress. .

Grandma agreed, and in turn told them to be careful, pay attention to safety, and don't ask for money or life.

After hanging up the phone, grandma also started to get busy, putting all the valuables at home such as banknotes, passbooks and jewelry into plastic bags and tying them up, and using tape to tape the window glass in the shape of a "rice" to prevent stones blown up by the wind Or tree branches break glass and hurt people, then use red bricks to raise beds and cabinets, and put rice noodles and vegetables in high places.

Xiao Liuying also tried to help, such as passing the tape, and quickly stuffed it on a red brick mat when grandma lifted the foot of the bed.

The weather was already hot, and the grandparents and grandchildren were so busy that they were sweating profusely, almost suffering from heat stroke.

After finally finishing the busy work, the sky had already darkened quickly. One moment it was hot and sunny, but the next moment it was overcast. The seabirds flapped their wings away from the small fish village as if they had premonitioned something. The air was full of tension. atmosphere.

Grandma took a last look at the southeast, closed the windows, and the room was as dark as evening.

They didn't turn on the lights, because as the last step in preparing for wind and disaster, grandma had to pull down the switch to avoid accidental leakage.

Xiao Liuying watched helplessly as the bubbles from the oxygen pump stopped abruptly.

Grandma lit a candle and took out two popsicles from the refrigerator. The grandpa and grandson sat around the candles, eating popsicles while listening to the increasingly frightening howling wind outside.

The clownfish hid in the sea anemone, and grandma worried that Xiao Liuying was afraid, and told the old story she had heard countless times.

The glass of the small fish tank reflected the shadow of the candle, and Xiao Liuying also saw her worried face.

The typhoon arrived as promised.

The heat was swept away almost instantly.

Storms and hailstorms are coming, and the huge raindrops and dense hailstones hit the roofs, which are louder than the firecrackers during the New Year.

Grandma's voice telling stories was drowned out by the noise coming from all directions.

Every part of the house was trembling and creaking uncomfortably, as if it might be crushed to pieces by a violent typhoon at any moment.

The village's weak drainage system was overwhelmed, and the stagnant water quickly overflowed the threshold and poured into the room.

Both Xiao Liuying and grandma sat on the bed, raised their feet, and watched the stagnant water rise higher and higher at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Grandma tried to pick up the phone, wanting to ask if her son and daughter-in-law were safe, and if the fishing ground was safe, but there was silence on the phone, apparently the phone line had been torn by the wind somewhere, which was expected.

Everyone but them seemed to disappear, leaving only the two of them trapped in the house.

Time passed by, the wind gradually died down, but the stagnant water was still rising.

The ink is so dark that you can't see the bottom, which makes you feel that there may be unknown dangers hidden in it.

The bed became unsteady and wobbly, as if it might float.

Bah bah bah!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the sound was very urgent.
