Chapter 209 The Red Dragon Crashing into the Tank
"You keep red dragons with other large fish?" Lin Ting asked suspiciously.
The little girl shook her head repeatedly. "No, I have other fish at home, but red dragonfish are expensive. I had a lot of trouble getting them from a friend, so I cherish them very much. Since I got home, I have always kept them in my own fish tank and never mixed them with other fish."
"I've been raising this red dragon like this for several years since it arrived home. I can't let it suddenly have problems now if it didn't have any problems before."
Lin Ting looked back at the red dragon in the tank, picked up the spring pen beside him and tapped it on the tank a few times, "Something terrible is trying to swallow you up."
The little girl thought Lin Ting was asking her a question, so she quickly replied, "There are no big things, and there is nothing to devour."
"I didn't ask you." Lin Ting explained gently.
The little girl scratched her head in embarrassment and turned her eyes away. When people are embarrassed, they always appear to be very busy.
Gurgle Gurgle
"What a huge thing! Its mouth is several times bigger than that of a fish."
"It appears every day. No matter where the fish go, they can't seem to escape its maw."
Comparing what the little girl said, Lin Ting frowned slightly, "Do you have any videos or photos of your home? Can I see the layout of your home?"
"There are no photos or videos, but there is a 360-degree rotating surveillance system installed." The girl said as she turned on the surveillance system at home on her mobile phone.
Bai Xi followed Lin Ting and went forward to watch the fun.
"This is the fish tank for the red dragon. This is the largest fish tank in my house and is specially prepared for the red dragon. The others are all small fish, including parrot fish, betta fish, and several other tropical fish species."
After seeing her own achievements, the little girl listened to Lin's introduction with great interest.
The little girl is indeed a fish-raising enthusiast. The fish tanks in her home take up an entire wall. The fish tanks overlap each other and are filled with various beautiful ornaments. It is particularly beautiful when a group of parrot fish swim over.
The red dragon fish tank is indeed the largest of all fish tanks. The inside of the tank is specially decorated to simulate the living environment of the red dragon, which is extremely precious to these fish.
If there was something scary, the red dragon shouldn't be the only one frightened.
"Besides the red dragon, have other fish ever hit the tank?" Lin Ting asked casually.
"I didn't notice that. The red dragon is the largest of all the fish I keep. It's especially noticeable when it hits the tank, and there's even noise. The others are all small fish, and there are so many of them that I wouldn't notice even if they hit the tank."
"Sister Lin, you don't suspect that there is something wrong with the water quality in my house, do you?" If other fish also hit the tank, it may be caused by the external environment.
Lin Ting shook his head, dismissing the girl's question. "Can I see the general layout of your home? Specifically, the general layout of your fish farming space?"
"Sure." The girl adjusted the camera to rotate 360 degrees so that she could clearly see the entire layout of the room.
Lin Ting stared at the surveillance footage and subconsciously asked, "Do you turn on the light in your fish tank at night?"
"Yes, I installed a circle of light strips around the fish tank. Combined with the decorations inside the fish tank, turning on the light strips at night creates a special atmosphere. Sister Lin, the red dragon hitting the tank is not because of the light strips."
"I remember having an electrician check the lights when I installed them, and there was no leakage."
"It's not because of a leakage. Is this pot of green plant in your house newly bought?" Lin Ting asked, pointing to a pot of Weeping Goddess of Mercy in the surveillance video.
"Yes, I just bought it last week. It cost me quite a bit of money. I wanted to decorate the room where I keep my fish. I bought not only the Weeping Goddess of Mercy but also this Asparagus Fern together."
"Did your red dragon start hitting the tank after you bought these green plants?" Lin Ting returned the phone to the little girl.
The little girl thought about the timeline and nodded repeatedly, "Sister Lin, how did you know?"
Before Lin Ting could react, the little girl immediately realized, "Could it be these green plants that caused my red dragon to hit the tank?"
"To be more precise, it's the plants and the light strips that influence each other. If you look at the nighttime surveillance footage, when you turn on the light strips, the plants cast shadows on the fish tank. These shadows form a terrifying-looking monster, as if it's opening its bloody mouth to devour the fish."
"Red dragons and small fish will naturally be frightened when they see the shadows cast by the light strips, just like when we were kids and saw the shadows of trees reflected in the room, we would instinctively think it was a monster and be afraid."
"There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this red dragon. You can go home and change the orientation of these plants and observe them again."
"You can turn on the light strips at night to check in advance to ensure that the reflections of the green plants will not appear on the fish tank, and the red dragon should not hit the tank." Lin Ting gave another instruction.
"I see. Thank you Sister Lin for telling me." After thanking her again and again, the little girl carried the fish tank out of the pet hospital.
Lin Ting leaned lazily against the cashier counter, watching Bai Xi come out of the examination room, "How's the situation?"
Because of the ultrasound, the hair on the little cat's belly was shaved and some gel was applied. Bai Xi was helping the little cat wipe its belly while saying, "The kitten is in good health. After examination, it is found that there are six cubs in the belly. They are developing healthily. They should give birth in about ten days. The delivery room upstairs is still available. Do you want to put the little cat in the delivery room?"
Some pet owners, fearing that problems might arise when their pets give birth at home, will send their pets to their pet hospital for delivery. When the interior of the pet hospital was designed, a delivery room like this was specially reserved to specifically deal with the cats and dogs sent there for delivery.
In fact, cats and dogs will bite off the umbilical cord by themselves when they give birth. Their main purpose is to accompany the animals and observe any danger at any time. If there is no danger, they will not intervene in the animal's delivery.
"It's up to you to decide."
Just as Bai Xi was about to carry the little cat upstairs, Yang Tao's mother, Ms. Zhang, rushed downstairs and left the hospital without saying goodbye to them.
Bai Xi immediately stopped gossiping and asked, "What happened? She left without saying a word. Did she go to settle the score with that scumbag?"
"Who knows? Go back and work hard. Also, pay more attention to Yang Tao's condition. If Ms. Zhang comes back again, pay more attention to her." Lin Ting withdrew his gaze from Ms. Zhang's back and turned back to the clinic.
She has been busy these days and hasn't seen patients for several days. Today she has some free time, so she can help Anran and the others a little.
After sending off several waves of young patients, she took out her cell phone and took a look. It was a message from Tian Tian, about the follow-up investigation into the problematic villa that the little cat mentioned.
The villa was rented out a month ago. According to the information provided by the property, the tenants were two outsiders who came to Jiangcheng to work. They rented the problematic villa at a low price because they had no money.
