To this day, Liu Ying still doesn't know what caused her to contract tetanus, whether it was the long-stocked fish hook that she bought for two cents from the commissary, or the dirt on the fish hook when the crucian carp struggled on the ground, but in short, it was the most serious illness she had since she was a child, but fortunately, she grew up healthy without leaving sequelae.

In fact, to a certain extent, she was quite grateful for the little fishhook, and if it was this illness, her grandmother would not have cared for her, and she was afraid that she would continue to spend every afternoon alone, with only crucian carp and loaches in the tank.

As a small coastal fishing village, fish is food and commodities for the villagers - big fish are human food, small fish and shrimp are food for chickens and ducks, and few people will treat fish as pets, and of course there is no habit of treating fish diseases.

Grandma's old eyes were dizzy, it was Xiao Liu Ying who first discovered the white membrane on the clownfish's body, and neither grandparents nor grandchildren knew what this white membrane was, and grandma even said that the fish was molting at first, so she didn't have to worry.

Do fish molt? It seems unlikely.

The clownfish are getting worse and worse, they are no longer eating, and no matter what they are fed, they will not eat.

In the past, they liked minced shrimp meat the most, and the small fish and shrimp in the fishing village were not valuable, and they were all used to feed the poultry. Grandma peeled the shells of the shrimp and chopped them into small cubes with a kitchen knife to feed them, and they were very happy to grab the food, but now they stopped eating it, and let the shrimp sink to the bottom of the tank, soak in the water and make the water muddy.

Xiao Yanagi Ying raised crucian carp and loaches for a while, and knew that the fish would not starve to death if they did not eat for a few days, and sometimes they would die if they were fed too much, so they did not feed them, and did not let their grandmother feed them, thinking that they might be overfed.

The grandfather and grandson looked at the weak clownfish at a loss.

"I didn't have the idea of changing the water at the time, because I was used to raising crucian carp and loaches, and I didn't think it mattered if the water was muddy. With a mixed smile on the corner of her mouth, 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, and she thought that it might be a hot day, and the shrimp meat was soaked in the water and soaked, so she proposed to change the water.

At that time, the rainy season had come, it was raining outside, the rain was not small, the road was not easy to walk, and there was no way to go to the beach to carry seawater.

So, my grandmother came up with a way to pour out half of the water in the fish tank, and add half of the well water to it, so that she could make do with it first, and then go to bring fresh seawater when the rain stopped.

The small courtyard where they live has their own well, which is dry during the dry season, and they basically don't need running water when the rainy season comes.

Xiao Yanagi was very worried about the life of the clownfish, she thought that the clownfish lived in seawater, and it would be okay to put it in a fish tank with half fresh water and half seawater? But she couldn't think of any other way, so she helped her grandmother change the water in the fish tank.

They fished out the clownfish first.

Usually clownfish are very clever and not easy to catch, but now they are as slow as a sick person, and they are caught all at once, and put them into a separate container with the clearer sea water in the upper part, and then pour out the particularly turbid sea water in the lower part, add the tap water in the half fish tank, and then pour the remaining seawater into it, stir it slightly, and put the dying clownfish back into the fish tank.

After changing the water, the grandfather 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 dead, slowly recovered its spirits, and the white membrane was fading.

During this time, the oxygen pump that my grandmother bought from the temple fair was always on, bubbling into the water with strings of bubbles.

Zhang Zi'an nodded and said: "You are lucky, you have the right way, the clownfish has albean albuginia, and it can indeed be improved with fresh water, that is, put the clownfish into a fish tank with half seawater and half freshwater, the salinity of such mixed seawater is about 1.01, which can kill the germs that are not adapted to the low-salinity seawater, and the clownfish itself can tolerate low-salinity seawater better than the germs, but the effect varies from fish to fish, and the time cannot be too long, otherwise the clownfish will also die." ”

"Can this still be the case?" Jiang Feifei heard for the first time that seawater fish could still be put in a half-seawater and half-freshwater environment.

Liu Ying turned her eyes to look at the camera and said with a wry smile: "It was really a stroke of luck at that time, my grandmother and I didn't understand anything, we just raised blindly, and we actually made the clownfish's white membrane fade by mistake......"

Neither she nor her grandmother knew that it was the fresh water that worked, and thought it was because of the water change.

In the evening, when the rain stopped, they seized the last rays of the sunset, and before it was completely dark, they ran to the beach to bring the seawater, and put the clownfish back into the sea, and after two or three days they were almost fully recovered.

When they finally opened their mouths to eat the minced shrimp meat she had fed, she and her grandmother cheered with joy.

Zhang Zi'an analyzed: "In fact, the treatment of white membrane disease through low-salinity seawater is not necessarily useful, depending on the physique of the fish, if the fish is too weak, it may even accelerate the death of the fish." Also, you quickly switched to fresh seawater, and you were lucky not to soak the clownfish in the low-salinity sea for too long. ”

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

Liu Ying sighed, "As I said before, the rainy season has arrived. ”

After the clownfish was cured, they have been living a healthy life. She and her grandmother changed the water for them every now and then, and later heard that clownfish were suitable for living with anemones, so she bought them anemones and arranged the small fish tank in a decent way.

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

It was a particularly sultry summer afternoon, the air seemed to freeze, and it was hard to even breathe, and the sweat never stopped, and she and her grandmother's sweatshirts were all soaked, and the two were still wiping sweat while blowing electric fans.

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

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

Sure enough, before the grandmother's voice fell, the sound of the radio horn sounded in the direction of the center of the village, and it was the village chief who informed everyone that they had just received an urgent notice from the superior meteorological station, saying that the typhoon was about to pass through, and there might be thunderstorms, strong winds and hail in a short period of time, and the villagers were asked to prepare for wind and disaster prevention.

The villagers walked home in groups, including grandma's former card friends, and everyone cursed at the typhoon, and all kinds of foul words drifted over the courtyard wall and into Xiaoyanagiying's ears.

Grandma sighed, chattering that as soon as the typhoon came, the fishing ground contracted by the family would be reduced again, and maybe even the purse seine nets would be torn or swept away by the typhoon, and there would be no return.

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

Immediately afterwards, the parents called, saying that they would stay in the fishing ground and try their best to reduce the losses, and 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 a high place to avoid flooding.

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

After hanging up the phone, my grandmother also began to get busy, putting all the valuables in the house such as banknotes, passbooks and jewelry into plastic bags and tying them, taping the window glass in the shape of "rice" to prevent the glass from being broken by the wind or tree branches, and then using red bricks to raise the bed and cabinet, and putting rice noodles and vegetables on a high place.

Ms. Yanagi also tried to help as much as she could, such as handing over duct tape and quickly stuffing it into a red brick mat when her grandmother lifted the foot of the bed.

The weather was already hot, and the grandparents were even more busy sweating profusely, almost suffering from heat stroke.

By the time it was almost over, the sky had quickly darkened, one moment it was still sunny, the next moment it was cloudy, and the seabirds flapped their wings as if they had a premonition and moved away from the confines of the small fish village, and the air was filled with tension.

Grandma took one last look at the southeast and closed the window, making it as dark as evening.

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

Xiao Yanagi watched as the bubbling bubbles from the oxygen pump came to an abrupt halt.

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

The clownfish hides in a sea anemone, and the grandmother worries about Xiaoyanagiying's fear, and tells the old-fashioned story that she has heard countless times.

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

The typhoon arrived as scheduled.

The heat was swept away almost instantly.

Storms and hail crackled in, and huge raindrops and dense hail smashed on the roofs of houses, louder than firecrackers during the Chinese New Year.

Grandma's storytelling voice was drowned out by noise coming from all directions.

Every part of the house shuddered and creaked uncomfortably, as if it could be crushed by a raging typhoon at any moment.

The village's weak drainage system was overwhelmed, and the water quickly crossed the threshold and poured indoors.

Xiao Yanagi and her grandmother both sat on the bed, lifted their feet, and watched the water rise higher and higher at a speed visible to the naked eye.

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

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

As the minutes ticked by, the wind became quieter, but the water was still rising.

The ink is black, and there is no bottom in sight, which makes people feel that there may be unknown dangers hidden inside.

The bed became unstable and wobbly, and seemed to be likely to float.

Woohoo!

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