Familiarized with it, I and Min Ziqin turned over and went into the water, the water looks very shallow, in fact, after coming down, I found that at least five meters up, I have heard before, these cage hanging oysters need to adjust the height according to the climate, such as typhoon days will be put deeper, to prevent being swept away by the waves.

These cages look like cold pills, one by one, and then the mothers on top are neatly arranged. In order not to affect their work, I made a forward gesture to Min Ziqin and swam towards the area that had not yet been cleaned.

When we got to a place where no one was, Min Ziqin and I gathered in front of a cage to carefully observe the mother oyster on it, in fact, this thing is more like the vest worn by photography enthusiasts, all in the pocket, and the mother oyster is placed in the pocket.

This shell looks not small, bigger than my palm, said that the size of the mother oyster determines the size of the pearl, only such as the white lipped oyster such a large marine shellfish, can produce a diameter of more than 10mm of high-grade pearls, or even more than 16mm of the best color, freshwater pearls suffer from this.

These mothers are tightly shelled, and there are a lot of plankton growing outside, and they don't look dirty. After looking at it for a while, we couldn't see any clues, if we want to say that someone is familiar with it, it shouldn't be a big problem to take the pearls inside, but the problem is that we can't see the people who come.

We simply ducked down to the bottom of the sand to see the scenery under the sea, not to mention, it was quite fun, and we swam to the side while watching, and occasionally some small fish swam past us, and even hid neatly. Suddenly Min Ziqin pulled me, I looked back at her, and she pointed in the direction for me.

I looked, oh my god, three B2 stealth bombers flew by from a distance, and when I looked closely, this was the ray I saw that day, and it was even more strange when I looked at it underwater, much bigger, and much more pleasing to the eye than those sun-dried hanged ghosts.

After playing for a while, I felt that it was almost, a little cold, we just popped up along the causeway, someone came over and pulled us up to change clothes, Xi Fan led Fengfeng to go down to play, I felt a little uncomfortable in my ears, after changing clothes, I was tinkering there, Su Er took a towel to wipe my hair, and asked me if I found anything.

"No, I can't see anything, it's easy to take the pearl by any means, but the downside is that it will definitely be discovered. ”

Su Er threw the towel to me, "Then we can only stare at it for two days, this time we have a key monitoring bait, even if it is a monster, it has to show up, unless it can be invisible!"

"Pull it down, it's not good to have this ability to steal something more valuable. ”

I have learned that the quality of pearls is not only the color, light, shape, etc., but also the most intuitive size. According to the circular diameter, less than 6mm is small, 6-8 is good, 8-10 can be considered large, more than 10mm is called oversized, and some are superb.

Small beads are calculated by the pound, and the general ones can be bought and sold in grams, if they are large beads, they all have to be priced according to the grain, and the best super large ones can be speculated. The beads in the base of the Xi family are all going to the big ones, it is normal for one to be over a thousand, and the better ones will cost tens of thousands.

So when he first started to lose pearls before, Xi Bufan was not too nervous, and the value of the loss alone was still bearable for him, but if he continued to lose it, then this base should not be done at all.

After a few days of hard work, all the cleaning of the mother oyster was done, and the staff who rearranged the underwater monitor installed something on my phone so that I could monitor the underwater situation anytime and anywhere. However, we also received a signal on the TV in the hotel, and the three of us stared at the monitoring at different times, and the idle ones rested and played their own.

I asked Xi Fan to take Feng Feng out for a walk, which can be regarded as creating an opportunity for the two of them to have a world for two. Most of the footage is almost static, with the occasional fish swimming by, or the camera gently shaken by the waves, and I thought I could see the oyster open its shell to reveal the pearl, but even if the oyster moved, I could barely see anything.

Staring for two days,We're tired.,It's really not a human job.,In order to ensure the sleep of the two girls,I got the work in the middle of the night.,Casually click on a cross talk collection while staring at the display screen.,It's as if the two mothers on the screen are talking about cross talk.。

Here, a female oyster opened her shell and said, "We're going to talk to you about cross talk tonight." ”

The mother oyster next to her fanned the shell and said, "Hey." ”

I wiped my face, what is this, I got up and went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of wine to refresh myself, Su Er walked out of her room, and saw me open the wine there, "You just stared at it." ”

"You know, I'm excited to drink some wine, I'm about to hallucinate. ”

Su Er ignored me, turned his head and glanced at the TV, and suddenly pointed and said, "Look, aliens." ”

I turned my head and looked, the rays, there are two or three rays in the picture, this monitoring screen is periphery, responsible for large-scale surveillance, the field of view is relatively wide.

I ignored her, and then pulled out the stopper, these were brought by Xi Fan from home, yes, he is actually quite caring except for being stupid. Su Er, who had not been in the water that day, was more interested in the moving rays, so he took a closer look.

Suddenly, she tapped me on the shoulder and almost knocked my glass over, so I hurriedly changed my hand and asked her what she was doing. She pointed to the TV and asked, "What do you think they're doing?"

I took the cup and looked at it, and I thought it was strange that these two or three rays did not swim away from the cage, but stopped in front of a cage and levitated, their wings dancing gently.

"He's interested in the oyster,, it's not going to eat this, is it?"

"No, I checked that day, rays only eat small shrimp and some plankton. ”

"I saw it that day, there are a lot of plankton mother oysters, I guess this ray is going to eat plankton attached to the mother shell, it's good, it's just cleaned two days ago, I guess they came in vain. ”

Su Er pinched her chin and looked at it carefully, "Something is wrong, this doesn't feel like you're foraging, it's like you're talking to a mother oyster." ”

"To put it mildly, the ray can understand the mother oyster, unless there is a common language in the sea. ”

I took a sip of my wine and leaned in with interest to see how the ray spoke to the oyster, but the shot was too far away to see clearly. I took out the remote control and rummaged through the other surveillance footage, but most of the cameras were used to focus on the bait, and the cage in front of the group of rays was not the target of our monitoring.

After cutting several monitors, finally one of them was closer, and in the middle of the screen were three strings of cages, and the cages they were staring at were on the left side of the monitors, and the rays only leaked half of their bodies on the screen.

I took another glass and wanted to bring Su Er a drink too, and although it was a new wine, it was not bad. I heard Su Er shouting: "Look, look!"

I turned my head in surprise, and then froze. I saw that the rays on the screen were still suspended in front of the cage, and the oysters in the cage had opened their shells one after another, because the camera was very close, so we could clearly see these scenes.

There are two or three small pearls stuck to the shell. One of the rays approached the cage and looked from top to bottom, as if to observe the color of the pearls in the mother's belly, and after inspecting the entire cage, the group of rays twisted around and came to the next cage, which was one of the bait cages.

"Oh my god, the thief has appeared!" I shouted.

Sur turned to look at me, "You mean, they're the pearl thieves?"

I pointed to the screen and said, "It's not clear enough, they don't know how to really make the safe open on its own." ”

Sur asked me, "What then?"

"You call Aunt Shen first, she can also see the monitoring, tell her the monitor number, and let her witness it. But I can't wait, this string just happens to be one of the bait, but all of them are high-quality goods, and when she finishes reading the goods, she will lose them, I will call Xi Fan to get up, and we will go to the base to stop her first. ”

After a pause, I said again: "You call Ziqin too, I'll go first." ”

After that, I called Xi Fan, "Stinky boy, I'm working, I'll go downstairs now, you get dressed and come down directly, let's talk in the car." ”

"Where are you going so late, Brother Li?"

"Breeding base, catch the thief!"

Before I went out, I heard that Su Er had already dialed the phone, "Aunt Shen, the 21st picture, I'm not sure yet, but it should be." ”

Xi Fan also moved very quickly, he came down as soon as I arrived at the parking lot, it seems that he was not in the same room as Fengfeng.

Driving the car, he asked me, "Appeared?"

I tuned my phone to that screen and put it on the shelf, "Look." ”

"Isn't this a ray?"

"It's the ray, it's casting a spell, and it's time to witness the miracle in a while, you drive first, and I'll call you when you climax." ”

After that, he took his mobile phone and called the people at the breeding base, "We will go to the base immediately, you are tired to prepare two sets of diving equipment, and we will go into the water." ”

The caretaker was a little puzzled, "Do you need to call more people to go down with you?"

"No, just go down and have a look. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you on the causeway. ”

As soon as I hung up the phone, I dialed Shen Lingyi again, "Aunt Shen, it's me, Su Er told you." ”

"Well, I just picked them up at the hotel, and now I'm on my way to the base. ”

"The time is not too rushed, we will go straight down when we arrive. ”

"No, the ray has a stinger on its tail, it's too dangerous for you two to go. ”
