readx;??? ps: Thank you for the great reward, thank you for the great reward, thank you for the great monthly pass and gift! The first chapter is here, it's time to sleep!

Wu Di felt a chill in his body for no reason, and Chang Xue's tone was too penetrating!

"Anyone saw it? Is it really a ghost stealing pearls? ”

If it turned out, he wouldn't believe these things if he was killed, but now that he has seen more, it may be a bit mysterious to say that he believes it, but he is definitely suspicious. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"If she could see this, would she still be called a ghost? I can't see anything now, but I'm losing pearls every day! You say it's not a haunting, what is she doing? ”

"Isn't it a thief, the pearl is as small as a ......?"

Chang Xue patted his head, with a look of chagrin on his face,

"Blame me, blame me for not making it clear. Fifth brother, this is not a pearl that has been collected, and it is not yet the harvest time. What was lost in the water! The original boss left a lot of them that haven't grown up yet, and they're all mine! ”

"In the water? Are you saying that the pearl was lost while it was still in the water? She stole the pearl mussels? ”

"Fifth brother, have you ever seen how to cultivate pearls?"

"I've seen it, it's a row of ropes in the water, and a net bag is hung under the rope, and the mussels are in the net pocket."

"That's how freshwater beads are raised, but seawater beads are similar, using cages and positioning them through wooden stakes. This time I lost the pearls, I really only lost the pearls, and the pearl mussels are still there, but the round hole with the thickness of a little finger will be drilled on the top, and there will be no foam left in the pearls inside! ”

"Steal the pearl by making a hole? Right? Even if you cut through the pearl capsule, it will be a lot of trouble to pour out through that small hole, okay? ”

Chang Xue sighed, and then said:

"After occasionally discovering this incident, I began to check the cages from time to time, and a month ago I suddenly found that the proportion was rising sharply, and as of today, I estimate that more than half of the cages have this phenomenon!"

"Isn't it some undersea creature?"

"Haven't you heard of any underwater creatures burrowing holes to eat pearls? It turned out that the boss had put two nets around the farm, and I asked the frogman to go down and inspect them. No problem. Later, I threw more than a dozen underwater cameras down, and I was stunned that nothing was captured, but the pearl should be lost! I'm dying, and you've been over there......"

Wu Di lit a cigarette and spit out a smoke ring,

"But even if you tell me, there's nothing I can do?"

"I know you may not have a solution, isn't it just the two shareholders of the company? I don't consult with you, who do I consult? I'm still hiding it from my family! ”

There has always been a saying about seawater beads. "The West Pearl is not as good as the East Pearl, the East Pearl is not as good as the South Pearl", and Hepu in Gui Province is the famous Nanzhu Ancient County, in 1992 the Prime Minister personally wrote the inscription for Hepu: "The Hometown of the South Pearl".

Changxue's farm is on the coastline of Hepu Xichang, which is deep and pollution-free, and the pearls produced are dignified and strong, large and round, crystal dazzling, luster and durable, and are on the entire coastline of Hepu. It is also a number of farms. If it weren't for this kind of strange thing, Chang Xue might not be able to get it even if he paid three times the price.

"It's cheap and it's not good, you know it this time, right?"

Chang Xue smiled and didn't speak. Wu Di was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the price he paid for Lan Meng, and suddenly understood,

"Did you kid fall into a hole dug by someone else?"

"Fifth brother. I can't say that, although the introducer and the owner can't find it abroad, but. Everyone here knows that that guy was not less stolen when he raised it! ”

"Cooked duck with a hard beak! You didn't look into it before you bought it? Why didn't anyone tell you? Let me tell you, let's go back this time, you honestly tell the adults in the family what happened, and see if you can find who is plotting against you, otherwise even if this matter is solved, he will have other things! ”

Chang Xue nodded awkwardly.

Wu Di walked barefoot on the solid sand, and the coastline in this area is almost all cultured pearl boxes, and the farthest can even go several kilometers into the sea!

"I'm not afraid of being dragged away by big fish so far away!"

"It's an undersea slope, and the water is relatively shallow, and at low tide people can walk up to two kilometers. Fifth brother, you have seen what you caught a few days ago, why don't we go into the water now and fish two cages for you to take a look? ”

Wu Di nodded, and Chang Xue returned to a small wooden pier about ten meters into the water, and boarded a machine barge.

Worker Ah Hai parked the boat, fished out a camera from the water, changed the strap and put it down.

"There's a camera on this one, but there's still a pearl being stolen, come on, bring that cage up and take a look."

Ahaiti came up with a wire cage with a dozen pearl mussels scattered inside. He reached in and rummaged through for a while, shook his head, and put the cage in the water again, pulling up the one next to him.

In the third cage, Ah Hai picked out two pearl mussels from them and handed them to Chang Xue. Wu Di saw that it was the same as what he had just seen in the office, with a hole the thickness of a small finger in the mussel shell, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Ah Hai is not afraid of ghosts, and now except for him and a few young men who are bold, there is no one in my farm who dares to go to the sea. Several farms around the surrounding farms are miraculous, saying that one day someone saw a long-haired shawl water ghost who took someone away or something, so that Lao Tzu's farm is now sparsely populated, what should I do, fifth brother? ”

Although he has seen a few mysterious and magical things in the past six months, after Wu Di watched the scene, he still didn't think that there was something that science could not explain, it was mostly a creature in the sea.

Wu Di then asked a bunch of questions, and learned that seawater and pearls should not be much different from other farms, but a situation provided by Ah Hai made him think that the problem might be here. Compared to before the accident, there are far fewer pink or pink pearls produced in this farm!

"Are there many pearls in other homes that have these two colors?"

"I don't know, but Ah Gong must know that he is the biggest pearl merchant in town!"

"Is there a range of stolen pearls, or is there an entire sea field?"

"This, I haven't deliberately paid attention to it, but I think it seems that this piece has been lost more, and that piece."

Wu Di's gaze followed Chang Xue's fingers and looked towards the sea water on his right. The water is clear and transparent, and the sunlight can reach about a meter. But in both places, the water was fifteen meters deep, and those pearl cages were suspended in the water, swaying with the dark tide at the bottom of the sea.

Wu Di's clairvoyant eyes roamed the sea for a while, even if it was an animal that stole pearls, the chances of doing so were too small, and if that guy liked to steal pink or peach pearls as he guessed, there was a stupid way to try. But I don't know until I go to the town to ask Ah Gong.

Coming out of Ah Gong, Wu Di also scratched his scalp, the pearls of these two colors in other families are not smaller than the original proportion of their family, so why is it? However, there used to be so many, and now there are significantly less, and that's the problem! There's no good way to do it now, so let's use this trick to wait for the rabbit and see if the blind cat can meet the dead mouse!

Wu Di's method was to use his clairlight eye to find a place where a pink pearl was dense, and then stare at that piece and wait for a few days to see if there was anything abnormal. Of course, this method can't be told to Chang Xue, Wu Di's explanation to him is that he has a strange spiritual sense, and the treasure gambling stones rely on this, so he plans to stay at sea for two days to see if he can find any clues.

The fifth brother wants to stay at sea alone for two days? Are you kidding! If this is accidentally swallowed by a female ghost, will he Chang Xue still be alive? If it is really swallowed, it will be simple, at most, he will accompany his life, but if he is sucked up by the female ghost, he will have no sex in the future, and his sin will be great!

"Fifth brother, no, this sea is too dangerous......"

"Nothing dangerous, nothing dangerous, as long as there are no large fish, what are you afraid of on the boat? You can go with the rest, just let Ah Hai accompany me. ”

To put it mildly, Chang Xue resolutely disagreed, and later Wu Di promised to just stay on the boat during the day, and go back at low tide, and he could accompany him on the side, so Chang Xue reluctantly agreed.

The three of them went back to pack up some food and drink, and came back to the sea just now.

"Boss, mussels don't eat feed, they only eat microorganisms in the sea, so the less pollution of the seawater, the better the quality of the pearls, our sea, in the whole Guizhou Province ranked first!"

"How many years do pearls usually take to harvest?"

"From the perspective of the law of pearl mussel breeding, the general breeding cycle is 2-3 years. Pearls grow fastest in the second and third years, and after the fourth year, the growth rate decreases, and the pearled mussels gradually weaken and die easily. Pearls cultured for 2-3 years are large, round and shiny. Although the particles are large for more than three years, the luster is not good and the quality is not high. It's as if the placenta has aged and the little one who has not yet been born is about to be cut out. ”

Chang Xue had already broken the jar, so he was still in the mood to say some witty things.

It's fun to be on a cruise ship, but I don't know how many people have tried to bask in the sun on a small barge. That taste, if it weren't for Chang Xue who was really afraid that there were water ghosts in the water, he would have jumped into the sea with Wu Di and Ahai!

Wu Di hid his head in the shadow of the hull of the boat, and from time to time he looked at the sea not far away, and in the cages hanging on the stakes, there were at least six pearl-breeding mussels with this pink or pink pearl.

While staring at him in a daze, he suddenly felt an itch on his feet, and when he looked down, it was a group of small fish kissing his toes, and he couldn't help but smile and put his feet up.

Hey, there's still the end? Why did you chase and bite? Wu Di looked down again, but this time it was not a small fish, but a half-foot-long, black fat loach-like strange fish, its mouth was long and pointed, like a finger, at this moment it was trying to swing its long mouth to scratch Wu Di's feet, and it was having fun!
