Xiao Tongguang looked at Han Mo, who was respectful, then at the serious doctor, gritted his teeth and said, "You two can listen to this official." This official is an official of the imperial court, and he is a messenger sent by the saint, if you are playing tricks on this official, hehe, you are a little doctor, it is not a problem to destroy the nine clans, even if it is you, Han Mo, you blaspheme this official, even if you are a child of the Han family, this official has a way to govern you, can you hear clearly? I felt that my feet were tingling and my heart was tingling, so I couldn't help but scream twice and scratch my hands a few times.

Han Mo shook his head and said, "Lord Shilang said this, it means that he doesn't believe in Han Mo's sincerity and loyalty. Han Mo retired! With that, he stepped back.

At this time, Xiao Tongguang was distracted by the itching under his feet, where could he take care of anything else, and shouted, "Don't pee quickly." ”

Han Mo went down for a while, and soon came in with a urine bucket, and the serious doctor said very seriously: "My lord, your kidney deficiency is very serious, so you need to soak in the child's urine from time to time in the past two days, only in this way can you recover slowly." ”

"Slowly recover?" Xiao Tongguang said angrily: "You mean that even if this official puts his feet in the ...... now Put it in the child's urine, and it won't stop itching immediately? ”

The doctor glanced at Xiao Tongguang and shook his head: "Adults should know that in this world, there is no disease that can be cured instantly. After a pause, the doctor instructed very medically: "The little one should also instruct the adult, this boy's urine is equivalent to the adult's healing medicine, so after using it this time, the next time it needs Han Haiguan's child's urine to be effective, and it cannot be replaced by others." This is like a medicine that treats the same disease, and it cannot be changed. ”

Xiao Tongguang rolled his eyes.

……

……

Han Mo's night was the opposite of Xiao Tongguang's scene, Xiao Tongguang wailed all night, while Han Mo rested beautifully.

He was born by the sea, although he did not go to sea in the real sense, but it was common to live on the boat for ten days and a half in the past, and the fishy sea breeze not only did not disgust him, but made him sleep more peacefully, as for the waves gently driving the pearl diving boat to shake, people who are not suitable will feel depressed in their chests and abdomen, but Han Mo is worry-free.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, the fresh and cold sea breeze blew, and the "Wujia" pearl diving ship where Changde Hou Cao Yin was located sounded a low horn.

This is a reminder to everyone that the time for pearl diving has come.

So everyone on the two pearl diving boats got up, and the bow and stern of the boat were soon filled with people, and Han Mo insisted on lifting the bitter Xiao Tongguang to the chair, for a very simple reason: "If Lord Qincha doesn't come out, the pearl people don't dare to go to the sea." ”

Xiao Tongguang's feet were already scarred and he couldn't stand, so he could only sit on a chair and be carried to the deck at the bow of the ship.

The deck was full of people, many of whom were pearl girls in their youth, and the unique living environment of the seaside residents made their skin healthy and elastic, and the exposed calves and stomachs were smooth and round, but Xiao Tongguang was in the mood to appreciate these at this time.

The bow and stern of the ship are combined, and there are 160 mussel pickers and pearl girls in each boat, and the wide deck of the bow and stern is covered with grease cloth, and the pearl girls sit around the grease cloth, waiting for the pearl mussels to be picked, and then take the pearls.

In addition to a small number of soldiers guarding the side of the ship, there was a group of fishermen yamen officers with big knives hanging on their waists, which was to prevent the pearl girl from hiding the pearls in the process of taking the pearls, even after taking the pearls, there were very strict inspections, once it was found that anyone was hiding pearls privately, it was the responsibility of the whole family to be beheaded.

The pearl pickers wore white shorts and shorts, revealing smooth white legs and slender arms, while the mussel pickers were naked, wearing only a pair of leather shorts, and each of them carried a bamboo basket on their backs.

……

Chang Dehou on the Noon Jia saw the bamboo basket behind the mussel picker, he was very curious, and asked Han Xuanchang beside him: "Lord Han, what is the use of these bamboo baskets?" ”

Han Xuanchang explained: "Back to the Hou Ye, these mussel pickers should tie their waists with a long rope, dive deep into the bottom of the sea with a bamboo basket, pick up the pearl mussels and put them in the blue, and when the bamboo basket is full, they can shake the long rope, and the person who responds above will know to pull them up." ”

"Oh!" Cao Yin stepped forward with great interest to look at the extremely strong bamboo basket, nodded and smiled: "Sure enough, it is unique." Yes, I saw that they all had a few leaves in their mouths, what was that? ”

"It's licorice, which is in your mouth and can be held under water for as long as possible."

Cao Yin clapped his hands and said, "Okay, good." Asked Han Xuanchang: "When will you start going to the sea?" ”

"As soon as Master Hou gives an order, they can go to the sea to pick up mussels!" Han Xuanchang said respectfully.

"Well, that's no longer ado, let's do it sooner."

Han Xuanchang turned around and said, "Prepare to go to the sea!" He made a gesture to the flag-bearer over there, and the flag-bearer waved the small flag in his hand, and the two pearl-diving boats formed a figure of eight, with the bows of the two ships close together, the sterns separated, and in the middle was an open sea.

The fishery officials shouted, and more than 100 mussel pickers from the two fishing boats walked to the inside of the boats, and with the help of the officers and men of the fishery department, tied long ropes around their waists.

These ropes are very strong, as thick as an arm, and it is estimated that they cost a lot of silver to buy these ropes alone.

In fact, the cost of organizing a pearl dive, manpower and material resources, that is huge, eating, drinking, Lazar and labor costs, that all require silver.

In addition to the cost, the most important thing is to enter the deep sea area to collect mussels, which is a dangerous thing.

First of all, there are hidden reefs under the sea, if it weren't for the fact that the Zhenfu army was clear about the terrain here and drew a chart, ordinary ships did not approach the waters of Pearl Island, but they were afraid that they would be hit and sunk by the reefs hidden under the sea surface.

Then there are the pirates.

Although the pirate's ships are not as effective as the Pacification Army, the pirates are all good underwater and pose a threat to the clam harvesting operation at all times.

Of course, there are also unknown and unpredictable dangers.

……

The mussel pickers prayed to the heavens together, and then in the cries of the fishery officials, they went down to the sea like a group of sea monkeys.

The calm of the sea was quickly broken, and every mussel picker who entered the sea left a wave on the surface of the sea.

This is a very spectacular scene, even Han Mo, who was born on the shore of the East China Sea, has never seen such a scene, standing on the side of the boat, looking at the waves splashing on the surface of the sea, the clear water makes him feel very comfortable and comfortable, he even has the idea of jumping into the sea to feel the vastness of the sea.

"I wish there were fewer deaths!" A fishery official next to him sighed softly, in his opinion, perhaps no one could hear his words.

But Han Mo was keen to hear it clearly, and glanced at the official rather strangely, really not understanding why he suddenly said such a thing.

Blue sky, blue sea, clear waves, and wind!

And there are two warships, hundreds of soldiers of the Zhenfu army are not far from the front to protect, why do people die?

He looked up at the Wujia on the opposite side, and saw his father Han Xuanchang standing on the side of the ship, staring blankly at the sea, as if he was very worried. Of course, he soon saw Cao Yin, who was looking at him from afar.

Han Mo arched his hand at Cao Yin over there, not daring to make more eye contact.

The two pearling boats were numerous, but no one spoke, allowing the sea breeze to blow over everyone's face.

Everyone was waiting for the mussel pickers under the sea to pick up the mussels.

"Han Mo!" Xiao Tong's bare feet on the side were very itchy, and he couldn't help but shout.

Han Mo went over and said, "What do you command?" ”

"You're ......!" Xiao Tongguang's expression was not good, but he groaned slightly, and said helplessly: "You prepare some for this official...... Some good medicine! ”

"Good medicine?"

"It's the kind of ...... that the doctor said last night to cure skin allergies!" Xiao Tongguang's gaze was aimed at Han Mo's crotch.

Han Mo subconsciously covered his crotch, then grinned, approached and whispered: "My lord, this thing is said to be there, you have to wait for a while." ”

Xiao Tongguang snorted coldly and said, "Then why don't you drink more water?" ”

"I just drank a lot, and the adults will have it in a while." Han Mo said with a smile.

He knew that the old boy had suffered a great deal last night, and there was no doubt that this pain would last for two more days, and that he would be exhausted from the toss, and that when he returned to shore, he would make the old boy look like a dead fish.

……

Han Mo's boy urine had not yet come out, and the first batch of pearl mussels had been successfully picked up from the bottom of the sea.

Everyone cheered, and even Han Xuanchang breathed a deep sigh of relief.

The pearl mussels were carefully poured on the grease cloth by special hands, so the pearl girls went up to take the mussels in a very orderly manner, and then returned to their own positions, and began to carefully open the pearl mussels, and with the most skillful and careful way to pick the precious pearls inside.

In front of them are porcelain plates, and the pearls they remove are placed in the porcelain plates.

Although the process of taking the pearl is not very complicated, it needs to be extremely careful, so it takes a lot of time to remove a pearl, sometimes it takes three to five minutes.

When Xiao Tongguang called Han Mo for the third time, and there was even a hint of pleading in his eyes, Han Mo was leisurely ready to sprinkle a soak of urine on him.

But he hadn't taken a few steps before he heard a shrill voice shouting, "Oh no, no! Everyone was taken aback and saw that it was a fisherman who was calling.

But no one dares to act rashly, there is a point of attention when pearl diving, and they are not allowed to leave their posts for big things.

Han Mo frowned and looked at the official, only to see his face frightened, pointing at the sea on the side of the ship, his whole body trembling.
