Pet King

When I heard the knock on the door, it was exactly a knock on the door. At first Xiao Liuying and Grandma thought it was blown by the wind, but listened carefully not because there were still people calling them outside.

Grandma asked Xiao Liuying to wait on the bed, wading the water without knees to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, deeper water from the outside rushed in, and she nearly washed her grandmother, fortunately, a strong arm helped her.

It was Liu Ying's parents who came back in the pouring rain, and didn't even hit the umbrella, because it didn't make sense to hit the umbrella.

They didn't say much, just a brief two-word shift.

Grandma didn't ask much, and immediately gave them the valuables that had been waterproofed, and took Xiaoliuying by herself.

The mother waded into the house, took the commonly used medicine, and took instant noodles and other emergency food.

"What about clownfish?" Xiao Liuying was carried on his back by his father, and looked back at the fish tank and asked.

After opening the door, the candle was blown out, and the fish tank was dark and could not see anything.

However, no one answered her, and now no one cares about clownfish.

The mother's flashlight was shaking. Occasionally, something flashed in the fish tank when she swept the fish tank. Xiao Liuying thought it was the eyes of a clownfish and was staring at her.

As soon as she went out, she was drenched by the storm. The summer heat that had accumulated in her body had not yet dissipated. The whole person was cold and hot outside, and it was very uncomfortable.

All the villagers are moving in their homes, to higher places, and to safe places.

There is no road in the village. Looking at the river, the water can barely pass the thighs of adults.

The turbid water is full of various debris, including dead poultry, broken trees floating on the water, and even small boats moving. The boatman supported the oars to avoid obstacles in the water. Family.

At this time, grandma had not forgotten to lock the door, fearing that the family would be thieves after the water receded, and all the household appliances were moved away.

On the main road of traffic, the village cadres organized the villagers to shift with a hoarse voice.

The nearby garrison has also arrived, driving the speedboat to evacuate the villagers, and dark green figures are shaking everywhere.

Xiao Liuying's father came to the speedboat of the fishing ground. She did not like to take this speedboat, because the smell of stinky fish and shrimp was so strong that she could smell it even in the pouring rain.

"The clownfish is still at home." She said it again after boarding the speedboat, and poured cold rain into her mouth.

Perhaps it was because the rain was too loud, and the village cadres' loudspeakers were too loud. Parents did not seem to hear her question, or it was because they felt it was unnecessary to answer.

Grandma held up an umbrella with her thin hands to cover the rain for Xiao Liuying, but it was just heavy rain outside and a light rain in the umbrella.

"It doesn't matter, grandma will buy it for you later," said grandma, seemingly to have sentenced the clownfish to death.

His father launched a speedboat and took the family out of the village. Xiao Liuying was staring at the house until she could no longer see it.

After the typhoon, the water in the village subsided within a day or two, and the tree debris obstructing the road took another two or three days to clean up, including the burning and burial of poultry and livestock everywhere to avoid spreading the plague.

Their family and other villagers stayed in the disaster tent for several days before returning to their former home.

Some villagers' houses were destroyed and they could only continue to live in disaster tents, waiting for the village committee to build temporary housing.

The house of Xiao Liuying's house is still relatively sturdy. Enron survived the typhoon, but left a clear watermark on the wall, indicating the location where the highest point of the water level had been reached.

The fish tank was not in place, lying on the ground quietly, but intact.

Because the highest point of the water level has not passed the center of gravity of the fish tank, the fish tank drifted out of place.

Not only fish tanks, cabinets, tables, beds, furniture, etc., almost none of them remain in place, like a grand party when the host is not at home.

Most of the water left in the fish tank was very turbid and moss had grown.

Xiao Liuying repeatedly fished in it with fish copy. There were neither clown fish nor anemone in the fish tank, nor even their bodies.

"They have swam back to the sea along the water." Grandma's wrinkled face smiled, "It's the Dragon King who came to pick them up."

Grandma was comforting her so that she would not be sad.

Xiao Liuying believed it, but she still wanted to cry, because the clownfish was her companion, and she rescued them from death. Even the Dragon King had no power to take it away.

In fact, somewhere in her heart, she thought that the clownfish should be dead. The poultry and livestock in the village were all killed in the typhoon, and many fish larger than them were dead. They were floating on the water over their belly. Come down?

The following days are very busy, and every family is rebuilding their homes, trying to make up for the losses caused by the typhoon.

After a little leisure, Grandma wanted to buy two more clownfish for Xiao Liuying, but she refused.

She remembered how helpless she was at the time, so she couldn't protect the clownfish. Even if she bought another clownfish, they would still leave her when the next typhoon came.

The parents ’fishing grounds suffered heavy losses in the typhoon. Together, the two decided to sell the fishing grounds and move on to something else.

When the summer was about to end, she left the small fishing village with her parents, went to a nearby city to pay relatives, and went to elementary school there.

Grandma could not leave her hometown for many years and stayed in Xiaoyu Village. She was a caretaker of her ancestral name in the name. When she heard that Liuying had left, she played mahjong again.

After Xiao Liuying went to elementary school, she knew that the clownfish was probably dead, because the rainwater and accumulated water were fresh water. Even if they escaped the fish tank at the last moment, they could not swim back to the sea safely.

She occasionally returned to www.wuxiaspot.com during the winter and summer vacations, but became a little rusty with her grandma, and those short and happy days are gone.

Later, grandma died of illness.

After burying her grandmother, her parents sold the old house in the village and said goodbye to the past. Xiao Liuying never returned to the small fishing village.

On that stormy typhoon day, my grandmother sat on the bed with her feet up, watching the stagnant water keep rising, and the dark fish tank and the faint reflection in the fish tank before leaving, but it never faded. Film was firmly imprinted in her mind.

After Liu Ying finished speaking, her emotions were still immersed in the past.

At first everyone would insert a few words, and Qin An, who was carrying a camera, would make fun of her, but then all listened to her quietly.

In the dimly lit aquarium, watching this clownfish with a white membrane in the quarantine tank, everyone seemed to be back more than 20 years ago, carefully experiencing the helpless mood of Xiao Liuying at that time, which could not be countered by manpower. Before the disaster, only her partner in the fish tank was concerned.
