Xu Qingyan said the intention again.

I saw the old man smile and said: "The girl came by chance today, Cheng'er picked a few medium mussels before, the old man saw it, there are more than ten grains, if the girl needs it, she will give it to the girl." ”

Xu Qingyan was willing to accept it in vain, and hurriedly excused herself: "What is this, you live on pearl diving, how can I ask for such a valuable thing in vain." ”

"But I really need pearls, and I need a lot of them, if my husband really wants to help me, can you go to the villages for me to ask, see who still has pearls, I am willing to pay fifty taels and one pound to buy."

The old man listened to Xu Qingyan's words, and was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses.

"How much did the girl just say?" The old man couldn't believe it.

"Fifty taels." Xu Qingyan repeated it again.

After the old man did hear correctly, his eyes lit up.

Fifty taels, which is five times the selling price on weekdays!

Thinking of this old man Sun, he couldn't help but get excited, "Okay, after eating, I'll go to the village to ask for you." ”

Old man Sun was full of excitement and agreed.

After lunch, Old Man Sun went to each house to inquire, and Xu Qingyan took Lingxian and Zelan to the river.

At this time, several wooden boats were moored on the shore, and a wave rushed by, and the wooden boats also swayed.

Looking at the magnificent river surface and the endless river, a thought flashed through Xu Qingyan's mind.

Looking at the river not far away, she suddenly showed her senses, and her eyes penetrated the river.

I saw that many unknown small fish were swimming back and forth under the water, and a small mussel was opening and closing in the mud at the bottom.

From the open muzzle, you can see that there are several pearls the size of rice grains hidden inside.

Just as she was about to look farther away, she heard the old man's voice behind her: "Girl. Girl..."

Xu Qingyan turned around and saw the old man panting and running towards this side.

"I.... I just asked, and there are more than a dozen families in the village who have pearls in their hands. ”

After a pause, he said, "It's just that the amount is not much, do you want to take a look?" ”

Xu Qingyan nodded, and Old Man Sun took her to the village.

As Old Man Sun went through the house, he walked through the dozen or so households he said, and he only made up about three catties.

Coupled with the four catties she bought in Jiangxin City before, there are still three catties short of the amount she wants.

Seeing this result, Xu Qingyan's idea that had flashed just now came to her again.

"Uncle, will you still go out of the river tomorrow?"

"Yes, a few days ago, there was a lot of turmoil on the river, and at this time, taking advantage of the good weather, it is natural to make a few more trips."

"Can you take me tomorrow?" Xu Qingyan asked.

The old man was stunned when he heard this, "Girl, do you want to go out of the river?" ”

"Well, I'd like to follow along, okay?"

"No, no." The old man shook his head again and again, "It's dangerous to go out of the river, it's not a fun thing." ”

This girl looks like a young lady from a noble family, and if something happens on the river, they can't afford it.

"Girl, there is nothing fun in going out of the river to go pearl diving, and there are many dangers, and if you don't do it well, you will die." The old man persuaded.

If this is an ordinary girl, when she hears that there is danger, she will die, and she will definitely dispel her thoughts, but Xu Qingyan has a strange skill, so she is naturally not afraid.

"Don't worry, boss, I have the power to protect myself."

Afraid that the old man would think she was a burden, Xu Qingyan added another weight to herself.

"Uncle, don't worry, I know water, and I know medical skills, if there is an accident on the river, someone is injured, I can still help."

When the old man heard this, he was embarrassed and hesitated.

With this girl on board, with her medical skills, if someone is injured, she will indeed have a few more chances of survival.

However, the danger on the river is also not small, and there are also cases of ship destruction and death.

Thinking about this, the old man still rejected Xu Qingyan's proposal.

"No, we can't take the girl on an adventure, in case the girl follows us and something happens, the old man will not be at ease in his life."

Seeing that the old man resolutely disagreed, Xu Qingyan changed her eyebrows.

"Forget it, since my husband refuses to take it, I'll buy a boat by myself tomorrow, and it's the same with you."

Old man Sun was immediately anxious when he heard this, "The girl can't mess around, it's very dangerous, you can't row, it's easy to capsize." ”

Xu Qingyan didn't seem to hear the words when she heard this, and only put on a rogue appearance that if you don't take me, I will go by myself.

It gave the old man a headache.

In the end, considering her safety, for fear that she would secretly follow regardless of it, the old man had to agree.

It's just that this matter has to be discussed with Ah Feng and Ah Qing, after all, the boat is owned by the three of them, and it is natural to bring someone to know about them.

"The old man can't be in charge of this matter, and he also learned about the people who are on the same boat."

Xu Qingyan nodded: "Okay, then the old man will ask for me." ”

Seeing that the old man went to the village, Lingxian spoke: "Miss, do you really want to go out of the river?" ”

"yes, didn't you hear that?"

"Miss, what's so interesting on the river, except for water, it's not water." Zelan asked, puzzled.

"If you don't want to go, then stay at Sun's house with Li Bo tomorrow."

"No, let's go with Miss." Spirit Immortal Zelan said at the same time.

How can you agree with this, even if it's not fun, they won't leave Miss.

Without them to accompany her, the young lady would follow those men out of the river alone, but it would ruin her reputation.

Half an hour later, the old man returned, and I don't know what he had said to the two, who had agreed to her and the boat.

Because she had to get up early tomorrow, Xu Qingyan didn't go back to Jiangxin City that night, but stayed at Sun's house for one night.

The Sun family has three side rooms, one for the old man Sun, and one for Sun Cheng and his wife with dogs.

There is just an extra room, for the three masters and servants, and as for Li Bo, who is driving the car, he will squeeze in with the old man Sun for one night.

The night was deep and the sky was full of stars outside.

Inside the house, Xu Qingyan looked at the two girls who were already asleep under the bed and on the floor, and quietly cast a spell to make them sleep more deeply.

Then he jumped out of bed and began to meditate cross-legged.

She will be out of the river tomorrow, and she has to use cultivation to saturate the aura in her body tonight.

In this way, you can ensure that you can save yourself or others in the event of danger tomorrow.

She strongly asked to go out of the river, not only because of curiosity, although there were also this aspects, but more importantly, she wanted to know how ancient people dived pearls.

She wanted to learn more about it so that she could judge the feasibility of ancient cultured pearls.

If she could, she would like to hire the people of the riverside village to help her raise her pearls.

There is ready-made river water here, which is much more convenient than digging a pond in Beishan Village.

Moreover, the villagers of Jiangbian Village have lived with water for generations and made a living by pearl diving, so their understanding of pearl mussels is naturally deeper than hers.

This night was spent in meditation.

As soon as the sky was bright, there was movement in Old Man Sun's room, and Xu Qingyan was running for the last Sunday at this time.

Stopping meditating, looking at the sky outside, Xu Qingyan waved her hand, withdrew the spell cast on the two girls, and then fell back to the bed and pretended to sleep.

Not long after, Old Man Sun's calling voice came from outside: "Is the girl awake, we will have to set off in a while." ”

Hearing this, Lingxian and Zelan rubbed their misty eyes, sat up, and answered the door: "That's it." ”

When Old Man Sun heard this, he turned around and went back to the room to pack his things.

Lingxian got up and was about to wake up Xu Qingyan, when he saw that the person on the bed had already sat up.

"Miss is awake."

"Hmm."

After a simple meal in the morning, Old Man Sun took Xu Qingyan and the others to set off.

At this time, the sky has just revealed the white belly of the fish, and the sun has not yet jumped out of the horizon. 2k reading web
