Chapter 809 Typhoon

So far, Liu Ying still doesn't know what caused her to get tetanus, whether it was a fish hook that had been in stock for 20 cents from a small shop, or the dirty soil that the crucian carp struggled on the ground, but in short, it was the worst disease she had since childhood. Fortunately, she had no sequelae and grew up healthy.

In fact, to some extent, she was quite grateful to the little fish hook. If it were this disease, her grandmother would not care about her. She might have to continue to spend every afternoon alone, and could only accompany the crucian carp and loach in the water tank.

As a small coastal fishing village, fish are food and commodities for villagers. Big fish are human food, and small fish and shrimp are chickens and ducks. Few people treat fish as pets, and of course they do not have the habit of treating fish.

Grandma's eyes were dizzy. It was Xiao Liuying who first discovered the white membrane on the clown fish. Both her grandparents and grandchildren knew what the white membrane was. Grandma even said at the beginning that it was the fish molting her skin, so she didn't worry.

Will fish molt? It seems unlikely.

The clownfish are getting worse and worse. They no longer eat and will not eat whatever they feed.

Before, they liked the most chopped shrimp meat. The fishing villages were not worthwhile and were used to feed poultry. Grandma peeled the shrimps and chopped them into small dices with a kitchen knife. They were very happy to grab the food, but now they don’t eat it anymore. They let the shrimp meat sink into the bottom of the tank and soaked in the water to make the water turbid.

Xiao Liuying raised crucian carp and loaches for a while. She knew that the fish would not starve to death if they didn't eat for a few days. Sometimes, if they were fed too much, they would be overwhelmed. So she stopped feeding them and did not let her grandma feed them, thinking that they might be overwhelmed.

The grandparents and grandchildren looked at the weak clown fish at a loss.

"I didn't have the concept of changing water at that time. Because I was used to raising crucian carp and loaches, I felt that the water was a little muddy." Liu Ying glanced at the clear and transparent aquarium in the aquarium with a mixed smile on her lips.

Grandma said that the fish dealers at the temple fair kept the fish in very clear water. She thought it might be because it was hot and the shrimp meat was soaked in water and it was broken. She suggested changing the water.

The rainy season was coming at that time, and it was raining outside. The rain was quite heavy, and the road was difficult to walk, so I couldn't go to the beach to bring the sea water.

So, grandma thought of a way to pour out half of the water in the fish tank, then replenish half of the well water, and make do with it first, and then bring fresh sea water over when the rain stops.

Their home has their own well in the yard, which is dry during the dry season, and after the rainy season comes, they basically don’t need tap water.

Xiao Liuying was very worried about the life of clownfish. She thought that clownfish lived in the sea water. Can it be possible to put it in a fish tank with half fresh water and half sea water? But she couldn't think of any other way, so she helped her grandma change the water tank.

They fished out clownfish first.

Usually, clown fish are very clever and not easy to catch, but now they are slow to move like patients and are caught up in an instant. They put them in a separate container with the clearer sea water in the upper half, then pour out the particularly turbid sea water in the lower half, add the tap water in the half fish tank, and then pour the remaining sea water in, stir a little, and put the dying clown fish back into the fish tank.

After changing the water, the grandparents and grandchildren waited without hope, waiting for the clown fish to improve while waiting for the rain outside to stop.

However, a miracle happened.

The clown fish they thought they were dead had slowly recovered their energy and the white membrane was also fading.

During this period, the oxygen pump that my grandmother bought from the temple fair was on and burst into the water with strings of bubbles.

Zhang Zi'an nodded and said, "You are lucky. If you hit the right method, the clown fish has white membrane disease. You can indeed use fresh water to improve it. That is, put the clown fish into a fish tank with half sea water and half fresh water. The salinity of such mixed sea water is about 1.01, which can cause bacteria that are not suitable for low salinity sea water to die. The clown fish itself can tolerate low salinity sea water more than bacteria, but the effect varies from fish to fish, and the time cannot be too long, otherwise the clown fish will die."

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

Liu Ying looked at the camera in a blink of an eye and smiled bitterly: "I was really trying my luck at that time. Grandma and I didn't know anything. They just kept it blindly. By chance, the white membrane of the clown fish faded..."

She and grandma didn't know that it was fresh water that worked, and thought it was because of the water change.

In the evening, the rain stopped. They grabbed the last ray of sunset light, and while the sky was not completely dark, they ran to the beach to bring the sea water, and put the clownfish into the sea water again. After two or three days, they almost recovered completely.

When she saw them finally opened their mouths and ate the chopped shrimps she fed into her stomach, she and her grandmother cheered happily.

Zhang Zian analyzed: "In fact, white membrane disease is not necessarily useful for treating low-salinity seawater, and it varies depending 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 the fresh seawater and did not soak the clown fish in the low-salinity seawater for too long, which is also a good luck."

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

Liu Ying sighed, "I said it before, the rainy season is here."

After the clownfish's white membrane disease was cured, she lived a very healthy life. She and her grandmother changed their water every now and then. Later, she heard that clownfish were suitable for living with sea anemones, so she bought sea anemones for them and arranged the small fish tank in a very nice manner.

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

It was a particularly hot summer afternoon. The air seemed to have solidified, and it was very difficult to breathe, and the sweat never stopped. Her and grandma's sweatshirts were all soaked, and they were still sweating while blowing the fan.

The weather is too hot, there is no air conditioner at home, and the water in the fish tank can cook the fish. The clown fish is in poor condition and is wilted.

Grandma went out and took a look at the southeastern sky, comforting Xiao Liuying that it might be raining, and the temperature dropped after it rained.

Sure enough, before grandma finished speaking, the sound of a radio speaker sounded in the direction of the village center. It was the village chief who notified everyone that he had just received an emergency notice from the superior meteorological observatory that he said that the typhoon was about to pass through and there may be thunderstorms, strong winds and hail in a short period of time. The villagers are asked to prepare for wind and disaster prevention.

The villagers walked home in groups of three or five, including grandma's former card friends. Everyone scolded the typhoon and all kinds of swear words passed through the courtyard wall and floated into Xiao Liuying's ears.

Grandma sighed and said that when the typhoon came, the fishing ground contracted by her family would reduce production again. Maybe even the fence would be torn or swept away by the typhoon, and then she would lose all her money.

At that time, Liu Ying couldn't understand so much. She had been staring at the depressed clown fish, worried about them.

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

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

After hanging up the phone, my grandmother also started to get busy. She put all the valuables at home, such as banknotes, passbooks and jewelry in plastic bags and tied them. She used tape to stick the window glass firmly in the shape of "rice" to prevent the wind-blown stones or branches from breaking the glass and hurting people. Then she used red bricks to raise the bed and cabinet, and put the rice, flour and vegetables on a high place.

Xiao Liuying also tried her best to help, such as handing over tape, and quickly stuffing a red brick mat when her grandmother lifted the foot of the bed.

The weather was already hot, and the grandparents and grandchildren were even more busy and sweating profusely, almost getting heatstroke.

After finally finishing my work, the sky was getting darker quickly. The sun was hot the moment before, and the clouds were covered with clouds the next moment. The seabirds flapped their wings as if they were premonitioning something, leaving the small fish village. The air was filled with a tense atmosphere.

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

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

Xiao Liuying watched the bubbles gurgling out of the oxygen-adding pump suddenly stop.

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

The clown fish hid in the anemone. Grandma was worried that Little Liuying was afraid, so she told the old-fashioned stories she had heard countless times.

The glass in 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 almost wiped out in an instant.

Storms and hail crackled, huge raindrops and dense hail hit the roof, louder than the firecrackers during the Chinese New Year.

Grandma's storytelling sound was drowned in the noise coming from all directions.

Every part of the house was trembling, making unsettling creaking sounds, as if they could be crushed into powder by a violent typhoon at any time.

The village's weak drainage system was overwhelmed, and the accumulated water soon passed the threshold and poured into the room.

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

Grandma tried to pick up the phone and wanted to ask her son and daughter-in-law if she was safe and the fishing ground was safe, but the phone was silent. It was obvious that the phone line had been torn off by the wind somewhere, which was expected.

Everyone except them seemed to have disappeared, leaving only the two of them trapped in the house.

Time passed minute by minute, the wind became smaller, but the accumulated water was still rising.

The ink and wash are black and there is no bottom, making people feel that there may be unknown dangers hidden inside.

The bed became less stable and swaying, and seemed to float.

Bang bang bang bang!

At this moment, the door was knocked and the sound was very rapid.
