Ao Li looked at the table of contents and turned to the middle of the book - Why do fish catch colds? How to care for them during a cold?
[Reason: When changing water, the temperature difference of the water is too large.]
1. Pay more attention to feeding and management.
2. Place the sick fish in warm water at 28℃-30℃ and let it rest.
3. Place the sick fish in light salt water.
…
He read it once and looked up at Shui Yiyao. The tip of her nose was slightly red and her eyes were moist.
This cold turned out to be caused by the water temperature.
"Do you know the current temperature of your holy land?"
Shui Yiyao looked up and began to think.
The temperature of the holy land?
"About 17 or 18 degrees..."
This memory is quite profound because the Holy Land is the most special area on the entire seabed. The temperature at that depth is usually only four or five degrees, but the Holy Land is seventeen or eighteen degrees, which is the highest temperature place.
However, despite this, Shui Yiyao still catches a cold once a year.
She thought it might be because of her poor physical condition and being delicate.
He was not mistaken.
Ao Li: "I'll turn the water temperature up a bit."
Follow the book.
Shui Yiyao: "Anything is fine." It was indeed a bit cold.
Ao Li stood up and walked to the water temperature controller. He frowned and thought for a while, then adjusted the temperature to 28℃ according to the book.
Ten minutes later, Ao Li took Shui Yiyao's temperature again.
The medicine took effect and the temperature has dropped back to normal.
But Shui Yiyao continued to sneeze.
Ao Li looked at her with a frown. Shui Yiyao rubbed her eyes and swam towards the jade carving machine.
Keep working.
Ao Li asked, "What are you doing?"
Shui Yiyao turned on the machine: "I haven't finished my work today."
Ao Li: "You should take a break."
Shui Yiyao also grabbed the jade material and held it in her hand, wondering where to place the carving knife next.
"I just took a break."
Ao Li: “…”
If someone could be hired to do her job, he could pay for it.
But this wasn't something money could fix, her work couldn't be replaced. He couldn't help.
Shui Yiyao raised her eyes and saw Ao Li still looking at her with a tightly furrowed brow.
She couldn't help but smile: "Director Ao, it's just a cold. Your expression makes me feel like I'm terminally ill and still insist on working."
"It's not that bad."
It's just a cold. She used to recover from colds in two days at most. It's no big deal.
Ao Li: “…”
He is in good physical condition and has never caught a cold.
Shui Yiyao opened the carving pen and began working on the jade material: "Don't worry, it will be fine."
Ao Li: "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me, don't endure it."
Shui Yiyao: "I know. After all, I gave money to the research institute."
Ao Li: "Yes."
Ao Li was still looking at her.
"...When did your tail get injured?"
"Tail?" Shui Yiyao paused, stopped what she was doing, and looked down.
There is a notch at the right tip of the tail.
Because it is asymmetrical with the tip of the tail on the left, it is quite obvious.
"Oh—" Shui Yiyao reacted and put down the carving pen temporarily. She said loudly: "Chief, I'm going to sue you for this."
"The Wolffish Tribe came to steal my bride, and I was delivering a water purifier to the Holy Land when they attacked me." She was a little angry. "They are lawless and dare to kill people just by showing up with weapons. If I hadn't acted slower, I would have been killed."
She should have complained about this long ago, but the Wolffish Tribe didn't show up to make their presence felt, and she didn't have the time to deal with it. She had never considered forgiving them, though. They came to kidnap the bride and killed people. In this day and age, this was too abominable.
Ao Li frowned, "Did they cut off your tail?"
Shui Yiyao shook her head: "No, that's not the case. I broke my tail myself. They shot an arrow and nailed my tail to the reef. I cut it off to escape."
Shui Yiyao downplayed the entire incident, then emphasized, "It's outrageous. At first, I thought you were the one who ordered the kidnapping and murder, but later I realized there was something fishy going on. Our mermaid tribe has been in trouble for a long time."
She was deliberately changing the subject, as if the matter of escaping by breaking off the tail was so unimportant.
Ao Li looked at her tail. The wound on the stump was neat and tidy. He could imagine how decisive she had been in cutting it. It must have been severed with one stroke.
Mermaids are so delicate, especially those with golden tails. Overcoming her fear, she cut off her tail and escaped—what happened next? How painful was it? Would the tail grow back? Was it painful? She didn't mention anything about herself.
After two sentences, he got down to business and talked about the mermaid tribe.
Ao Li: "The Wolffish tribe shot arrows?"
"Yes. There should be the Shark Tribe above them," Shui Yiyao explained everything she knew. "When they came here, they were under the guise of the Shark Tribe. So I'm reporting it directly to you today."
"Besides the Wolffish and Shark tribes, who else is there?"
"And..." Shui Yiyao thought for a moment, and reported all the people who had attempted to snatch the bride from the mermaid tribe and had taken action over the years since she was a child.
Ao Li was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes and said, "I understand. I will give you mermaids an explanation."
Shui Yiyao: "Thank you for your hard work."
Ao Li walked towards the pool: "I'll go down and take care of it."
Shui Yiyao was surprised: "Why are you going there in person?"
These matters should fall under the category of public security and Ao Li will not be involved.
Ao Li looked at her and said seriously, "You are far more important than you think."
It is important to him and the sea people in every sense.
Ao Li stepped onto the water and stood steadily: "I will be back before twelve o'clock."
After he said that, he turned into a dragon and entered the water.
Shui Yiyao looked at the ripples on the water and the dragon that had disappeared underwater, and sighed, "That was pretty neat."
She had only intended to report it, hoping to draw the attention of the Sea Clan Alliance. Unexpectedly, the effect came faster than she had imagined.
The foreign races harming the mermaids are motivated by their desire to exploit their ability to reproduce their "special bloodline." She has devised a solution to this problem and is currently working on it. She's already tried some medication, and if nothing unexpected happens, the problem should be resolved soon.
Although she took the responsibility of resolving this issue, it didn't mean those who had raised weapons against the mermaids could get away with it. According to maritime law, those who deserved compensation would receive compensation, and those who deserved imprisonment would receive imprisonment. No one could escape.
Then it depends on the reaction of the Sea Clan Alliance.
It would be best if the alliance could take care of it. If the alliance doesn't, there will always be a way to take care of it when she has time.
But it seems that the alliance still has to take care of it.
I have to say that Ao Li is quite efficient in doing things.
The report had just been submitted and he went to deal with it.
Shui Yiyao turned around and continued to carve.
Now we still have to carve well and make money, after all, the subsequent experiments will cost a lot of money.
At twelve o'clock noon, Ao Li emerged from the pool and floated up on time as agreed.
Watching the dragon-shaped figure swimming up from the bottom of the pool, Shui Yiyao stopped what she was doing.
It really came up.
If he went to deal with these matters, he would inevitably be entangled in chores, but he didn't expect that he could get away with it so easily.
What's in his mouth?
The dragon swam towards her with a small basket in its mouth.
He swam to her, lowered the dragon head, and handed the small basket to her.
"Lunch, here you go."
Shui Yiyao took it and found it quite heavy.
She looked into the basket and saw some shellfish, some fruit, and a fish, all half wrapped in seaweed leaves.
She had some impression of shells and fruits, which were foods that could be eaten raw on the seabed. However, in Shui Yiyao's impression, they were not eaten often because they were poor.
It was a kind of poverty she had never experienced before. Although she was orphaned at the age of fifteen, she was not poor. She had been making money very early and had no shortage of food, drink, and entertainment.
So compared to these rare and coveted fruits, her focus was on the fish - it was a wolffish.
It looked like it had been toasted.
The black skin was burnt a little, and the sharp teeth were exposed, which looked ugly.
"Are these wolffish also...lunch?"
Dalong nodded: "This is the one that did it. It's for you to eat."
Shui Yiyao's hands trembled, and her brows jumped. She put the basket on the shore as if it were burning. "...Is this so serious? Those who threaten public order will be roasted and eaten?"
Dalong looked at her from where he stood. "Intentional injury resulting in disability is punishable by a prison sentence of seven years or more, life imprisonment, or the death penalty."
"He was sentenced to ten years." He watched Shui Yiyao's movements and said, "Then I challenged him to a duel, and he lost."
“That’s why they were roasted and eaten.”
The defeated will be eaten. This is one of the most ancient rules of the seabed, a rule that has existed since the beginning of the sea people. The sea people are big fish eating small fish. This is their nature, and even in their half-human form, this nature remains the same.
However, Ao Li usually doesn't use this rule.
Although this is our nature, we can control it.
But this time it’s different. He is fighting on behalf of Shui Yiyao. Maybe she would want to eat grilled fish.
Shui Yiyao: No, I don’t want to.
She pushed the basket away, a little disgusted: "Brother, you are too barbaric."
Dalong was surprised: "...You don't like it?"
Shui Yiyao looked at him, and seeing his surprise, she found it incredible. What? Did he think she liked it and that's why he brought it to her?
"Isn't steamed sea bass delicious? Why should I like this?"
"..." Dalong was silent for a moment, then swam towards the shore: "Then I'll take it and throw it away."
In fact, he doesn't like it either.
He leaned forward and took the wolf fish out of the basket.
After taking it out, he turned around and dived into the sea.
"I'll be back soon."
Put the grilled fish at the door of the wolf fish tribe to serve as a warning. No one in the entire sea tribe will dare to cause trouble in the near future.
This method is a bit cruel, but now that the plan to bring the sea people ashore is underway, it will be smoother with less trouble.
Shui Yiyao looked at the two remaining bags in the basket, both of which were wrapped in seaweed leaves. She took out the two small bags and placed them on the table.
One is a wrapped shellfish, and the other is some fruit.
They can all be eaten raw, and some people even eat them raw on land.
Shui Yiyao sniffed and smelled the fishy smell of seafood.
She took the shells, processed them, and put half of them into the oven next to her. Ao Li had placed the oven next to her yesterday, so she could reach it easily and heat up the food.
She also roasted the red algae clams that Ao Li had made yesterday.
The food had just been baked and taken out of the oven, and Ao Li also came out of the water.
Shui Yiyao looked at him and took the food plate out of the oven: "Let's have lunch."
Ao Li came ashore and said, "Okay."
Shui Yiyao put the lunch box on the table: "I still have some uncooked ones left, you can eat those too."
Ao Li straightened the collar of his suit, paused, and looked at the table. The food was carefully divided into two portions, one raw food and one cooked food.
Their eating habits do tend to prefer raw food.
But it seems Shui Yiyao doesn't like it.
Ao Li said seriously: "I'm just like you, I eat it cooked."
