So Xie Siyun didn't say a word, and after withdrawing the knife from Chu Yue's hand, he held Chu Yue's finger again.

His hands were a little warmer because of the clenching just now, but they were still cold.

Chu Yue tried to relax himself to cooperate with him, so he grabbed Chu Yue's finger and let Chu Yue touch the flesh of the pearl mussel-

It was a strange feeling, slippery and delicate.

With a little force, you can even feel the feeling that the flesh of the clam that has not completely died is twitching, which always makes Chu Yue have a feeling that he does not dare to continue to touch it.

Xie Siyun was patient, Chu Yue didn't dare, he guided Chu Yue little by little, and then worked hard little by little.

When I touched most of the mussels, in fact, the early moon was already a little cold: wild pearl mussels may not all produce pearls. The one in their hands looks big, but it doesn't actually produce pearls.

Hatsuki remembers that the production of pearls can be roughly divided into two types: the first is when stimulated by foreign objects (such as sand grains, parasite eggs and other foreign substances), it will secrete nacre, wrap the foreign matter that falls into it layer by layer, make it smooth, and gradually form a pearl, which is a "nucleated pearl".

The second is that after the outer epidermis of the mantle is pathologically stimulated, a part of the cells is coated with the organic matter secreted by itself, forming a pearl sac and then forming a pearl. Because there is no foreign body as a nucleus, this is called a "seedless pearl".

So what if the pearl in their hands was not invaded by foreign objects, and they themselves were healthy and had not been sick?

Chu Yue, who was already in a mood of disappointment, didn't have so much strength in her hands, but when she touched a foreign object, she suddenly came to her senses-

She turned her head and looked at Xie Siyun.

But because the distance between her and Xie Siyun was too close, she almost kissed Xie Siyun's face when she turned her head!

She could feel Xie Siyun's breath between her breaths, and when she looked at Xie Siyun so closely, she realized that this man's face was really flawless. Don't know how to maintain it?

Moving his eyes away from Xie Siyun's eyes, he could hear Xie Siyun's still indifferent voice: "I touched it, don't be distracted." ”

Just touch it like this, you know that it must be a big pearl! At least it was bigger than the fingertips of the first moon, and it seemed to be round-run.

Even if they touched a pearl, they couldn't be distracted at this time: if it was a misshapen pearl, it wouldn't be of much value. No matter how big it is, it can't be sold for a few dollars.

Chu Yue didn't want to continue, thinking that the next thing would be left to Xie Siyun.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yue shrank her hand, but Xie Siyun grabbed Chu Yue's hand that was about to flee and held her fingers tighter: "Last time, what are you running?" ”

Nestled in Xie Siyun's arms, Chu Yue muttered angrily: "I won't." ”

Xie Siyun took Chu Yue's hand to pierce the tender and smooth mussel meat, and said concisely: "Sooner or later, you have to learn." ”

The first moon can already be touched, this is a perfect pearl! Although it is not too big, it is round-polished-smooth. With a slight movement of his fingertips, the pearl slipped out of the mussel flesh—

"Wow-"

With Xie An's exclamation behind him, Chu Yue also lowered his head, and carefully looked at the result of their joint efforts: this is a pearl the size of Xie Siyun. Milky white, round-polish-slippery without half a blemish!

The size of the pearl is not large, but by virtue of its smooth and shiny degree, you can definitely sell it for a good price!

Chu Yue's eyes lit up, and she was finally able to stand up and look at the pearl carefully compared to the rising sun: "Xie Siyun, your luck is good!" picked up such a big baby, and my mother's medicine expenses in the past few months have been settled! ”

These pearls were worth more than the bag of pearls he went to pick in the rain that day!

Xie Siyun also stood up, but still held the pearl mussel in his hand and handed it to Chu Yue: "Don't worry, maybe there will be more." ”

Wild pearl mussels can also give birth to multiple pearls.

Chu Yue's fingers trembled a little excitedly, this time Xie Siyun didn't guide Chu Yue, but Chu Yue groped for it by herself, and really found a second one!

The second pearl is pale white, much smaller than the previous one, and not as shiny-smooth. Obviously, the value is far inferior to the previous one, but Chu Yue is already satisfied: "Great! Xie Siyun, let's have a great victory! ”

Chu Yue's elated appearance, reflecting the warm sunlight overhead, made the corners of Xie Siyun's mouth hook, and then raised his arm and threw the pearl mussel back into the sea: "Let's go, let's go back." Mother's medicine is not to worry, but we still have to prepare for the upcoming Dragon King Festival. ”

Once the money is settled, everything is easy to say.

They still followed the previous method and directly gave the pearl to Jing Lixin and said the lowest price.

Jing Lixin tasted the sweetness of selling things for them last time, and this time there was naturally no reason to refuse.

And what they have to do is to prepare for the next sacrifice to the Dragon King.

Although Xie Siyun didn't say anything, Chu Yue knew that he was ambitious.
