Chapter 877: Super Giant Clam
"Hey, Zhou Lang is really watery!" Qu Hai has lived in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River since he was a child, and has seen countless people with good water nature, so he naturally agrees with Zhou Bo's posture of entering the water.
"Brother Zhou is also famous for hundreds of miles in the water of Pei County, once chased a giant turtle in Weishan Lake for seven or eight miles, and finally captured it alive, but he doesn't like to go down to the lake to catch fish on weekdays, otherwise he wouldn't live in such poverty!" Liu Bang said with a smile.
"If the water is good, why don't you want to go down to the lake to catch fish?" Gao Yao couldn't help but ask.
"I heard that Brother Zhou's father drowned because he went to the lake to fish, maybe it was because of this incident!" Liu Bang shook his head.
"Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, our Jiangdong is full of big rivers and rivers, and the fishermen who drown in the water every year do not know how few, but after all, it is just a life, and I can't force it!" Qu Hai sighed.
The ripples on the surface of the lake quickly dissipated and returned to calm, the lake breeze swept through the waves layer upon layer, under the bright sunshine, the whole Taihu Lake is like a vast sea blue and clear, there are mountains around the lake, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds look very quiet, not far away, there are many fishing boats coming and going on the lake, and occasionally you can hear a few rough fishing songs.
Time passed quickly, minute by minute, the lake was as calm as ever, the fishing boat was slightly undulating and swaying in the waves, the hearts of a group of people gradually became anxious, and even the girl who began to look forward to it began to lie on the side of the boat nervously and nervously.
Chen Xu couldn't help but stand up, he estimated in his heart, Zhou Bo had been down for at least five minutes.
And five minutes is almost the longest freediving ever recorded.
If there is no special training, ordinary people falling into the water for one or two minutes may basically cause hypoxic brain damage, more than three minutes may cause permanent injury or even drowning, and more than ten minutes without complete first aid means is basically a dead end, more than 25 minutes even the gods can not be saved
"Childe, don't be impatient, it's only been less than half a moment, and it's far from reaching Brother Zhou's limit!" Liu Bang's face was calm and comforted Chen Xu.
"What Brother Liu said is good, looking at Zhou Lang's water quality, it should be excellent, wait a while, Zhou Lang will not get up and let the captain go down to investigate!" Qu Hai didn't think so.
Chen Xu: ......
Were all ancient Nima otters in the wild?
It is normal to dive for five or six minutes, and you must know that the professional divers of later generations will not be able to hold it underwater for so long.
However, people in this era are indeed more barbaric, many people look black and thin but particularly durable, walking over the mountains and mountains faster than rabbits, carrying the waist thickness of the big wood is like playing, walking for hundreds of miles in a row do not feel tired, perhaps with the development of science and technology and the progress of civilization, people's physique has been constantly degrading, because a lot of manual labor has been replaced by tools.
In the blink of an eye, nearly three minutes passed, and at this time, not only Chen Xu couldn't hold his breath, but even Xiao He, Liu Bang, Cao Shen, Qu Hai and others became solemn, and they all stood up and looked at the bottom of the water around the fishing boat, but there was still a blue calm lake in front of them, and Zhou Bo disappeared as if he had disappeared.
"Boatman, go down and see ......"
After waiting for almost a minute, Qu Hai finally couldn't hold his breath.
Zhou Bo is Chen Xu's protégé, if he drowns in front of him, whether Chen Xu blames him or not, he will be uneasy.
"Wow~~"
Just when the captain promised to go into the water, suddenly a splash suddenly rose seven or eight feet away from the fishing boat, and a figure quickly rushed out of the lake.
"It's okay, it's okay, Zhou Lang returned safely!"
The people on the boat breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time, and the captain rowed the boat in front of Zhou Bo to pull him onto the boat.
"Don't be in a hurry, Bo Fang just dived under the water to search, and did not find the colored glow, but found a lot of lake mussels, and then go down to fish for a big one, maybe there are pearls in it," Zhou Bo said while lying on the side ......of the boat, panting, and after a few minutes, he turned around and went to the bottom again and disappeared.
"Zhou Lang is really a dragon in the water, so watery, I'm afraid Wu Zhong can't find a second one that can be compared!" Qu Hai also had to sigh and admire at this time.
This time, Zhou Bo's time to go down was much shorter, and he resurfaced in about seven or eight minutes, his face was also pale, but this time he had a huge shell almost two feet long in his hand, and he didn't wait for the captain to shake the boat over, he directly swayed and tread the water and walked to the side of the fishing boat, and threw the giant clam in the cabin with a bang, and the fishing boat that was more than three feet long shook a few times.
"Wow, what a big mussel!" The girl, who hadn't spoken much, couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim, and the hem of her skirt loosened and the tea scattered throughout the cabin.
"It is indeed a giant mussel, Lao Er has lived on this big lake all his life, and he has never seen such a big mussel shell!" Even the old man standing at the stern of the boat couldn't help but drop the oar and come over to watch.
Qu Hai gestured with his hand and nodded excitedly: "It is indeed rare in the world, a certain person has lived in Wuzhong for more than 40 years, and he has seen a lot of more than one foot long, this one is more than two feet five inches, if there is a pearl in it, it will definitely not be too small, maybe it will be able to open a giant pearl!" ”
"That's still waiting, hurry up and take a look!" Gao Yao pulled out the dagger on his waist with a swipe.
"Don't be busy, pull Zhou Bo up first!" Chen Xu turned around and stretched out his hand to pull Zhou Bo, but Zhou Bo was lying on the side of the boat panting and shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the big mussel that Fang Caibo said is not this, there is an even bigger ...... under the rock."
"What?!" The people on the boat all turned their heads to look at Zhou Bo.
"Bo will go down again, and this time he will definitely catch that big mussel!" Zhou Bo took a deep breath and sank to the bottom again.
"The mussel is bigger than this, isn't it that Brother Zhou is wrong?" Cao Shen picked up this big mussel shell, which weighed ten pounds and was still dripping water in a sparse manner, and said with a sluggish face.
"Leave him alone, come, pry this mussel open and see if there are any pearls?"
"Yes, yes, I'm looking forward to it!"
After watching and discussing, Qu Hai Xiao and the others fixed the big mussel shell, Gao Yao tried his best to insert the dagger into the gap on the edge of the mussel shell and pulled it back and forth a few times, and found that the half-foot-long dagger could not be inserted into the bottom, but with the cooperation of Xiao He and Liu Bang and others, they still slowly broke the two shells.
"Wow, what a big pearl~~"
As the shell of the mussel was broken, a thumb-sized pink pearl was revealed in the middle of the yellowed mussel flesh.
"Take it out, take it out~"
In a series of exclamations, Xiao He took out the pearl and held it in the air, under the sunlight, the whole pearl was round and smooth, exuding a faint pink halo, like a gemstone, exuding an extremely seductive pink light.
"It's so beautiful~"
The girl sitting on the side of the ship looked at this pearl like a peerless treasure with a dull face, her small mouth wide open, and her face was full of intoxicated expressions.
And Chen Xu was also dumbfounded as he looked at this pearl that released pink light in the sun, and finally had a personal feeling for the word jewels for the first time.
This was the true source of pearls, and it was a pink pearl, and it was the first time he had seen it.
A group of people on the boat passed back and forth to see this beautiful pearl, and they were all playing with admiration, and Chen Xu remembered what he had just seen, and couldn't help but squat down and pull the meat in the mussel shell a few times with his hand, and then sighed, because he also pinched a round thing.
"Are there still pearls?" A group of people suddenly bowed their heads again and gathered around.
"Give me the knife!" Chen Xu nodded and stretched out his hand, Gao Yao hurriedly handed over the dagger, Chen Xu carefully cut the clam meat, and sure enough, an almost identical pink pearl was revealed.
As this pearl was also taken out by Chen Xu and held in the air, the two pearls shone against each other in the sun, emitting a pink glow, and everyone couldn't help but twitch and couldn't stop.
"A clam and two beads, and the color is so magnificent, it is really a rare treasure in heaven and earth!"
"What Brother Xiao said is extremely true!"
"I know, the glow that Fang Cai Gongzi saw may be the two pearls exposed by the big mussel opening its shell at the bottom of the lake......"
"You can't go wrong!"
"Yes, yes, Childe's eyes are sharp and observant, if it weren't for Childe's insistence, I would have missed this kind of treasure......"
The eyes and minds of a group of people at this time were almost all attracted by these two huge pink pearls, and they completely forgot about Zhou Bo who dived to the bottom of the lake.
……
"Bang dang~~"
Just when a group of people were excited to admire these two pearls, suddenly there was a loud noise on the bow of the boat, accompanied by a violent shaking of the fishing boat, and a boatload of people suddenly staggered, and the girl sitting on the side of the boat fell directly into the water with a pop.
"Be careful~"
In the panic, a group of people quickly squatted down and grabbed the side of the boat, and the captain quickly lifted the girl who fell into the water onto the boat, and almost at the same time, a person emerged from the water at the bow of the boat, grabbing the side of the boat and panting while wiping the water on his face.
Everyone turned their heads to look at the bow of the ship, and a huge mussel shell the size of a grinding disc rested on the board like a boulder, still bubbling out of the water, and the body of the mussel shell was pitted and a layer of large and small rocks was sticked, and it was covered with moss and mud.
"Hiss~~"
A group of people couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, and then stared at the pale and tired Zhou Bo lying on the side of the boat like a ghost.
"Ladies and gentlemen...... Pull...... Pull a handful of ......" Zhou Bo lay on the bow of the boat and crumbled.
"Quick, pull Zhou Bo up!" Chen Xu came back to his senses and hurriedly beckoned a group of people to pull Zhou Bo from the lake to the boat, and after Zhou Bo came up, he was lying on the bow of the boat, his legs were still hanging in the water, he was almost unable to move from exhaustion, and even convulsed involuntarily from time to time, seeing that the situation was indeed to the limit that his body could bear.
"Paddle ashore!" Chen Xu knew that this was not the time to open the mussels, although Zhou Bo had good water quality, but if the boat capsized now, he would definitely not be able to swim ashore.
