Gu Chai and Duo Ling are not very old, their experience is limited, and the master who got along with them day and night died suddenly, they both lacked the backbone of the heart, and they seemed to be lost and depressed, and they were at a loss with tears.

Uncle Ming seemed to be a little distressed when he saw that I hid the best Nanzhu in the mouth of Ruan Hei's corpse, and walked around the corpse on the ground, but it was inconvenient to say this situation, so he had to endure the pain of cutting his love, but he seemed to suddenly find something unusual, came over and grabbed my arm, and dragged me behind Gu Chai: "Brother Hu, do you see if he has any ...... What's out of the ordinary? ”

I watched Gu Chai squatting on the ground to sort out Ruan Hei's body, his upper body was red, and his shirt was torn off by Uncle Ming when he entered the water to save people just now, revealing a full body of embroidery, this body of embroidery is colorful and complex, all of them are big ocean waves, fish and dragons in the sea chasing fire beads, or diving to swim under the sea of complex lines, it looks majestic, mysterious and magical, tattoos are very popular in the South Seas, but it is rare to see such a delicate full-body splendid as Gu Chai is, but I don't know what Uncle Ming said, this young man can go into the water to fight whale salamanders, Is it all that the apprentices of the egg people can do?

When I thought of this, I suddenly felt a pang in my heart, so I asked Uncle Ming what he meant by this? Could it be that there is something wrong with Gu Guess? Uncle Ming whispered in my ear: "I think Gu Guess's life experience is extraordinary, this egg boy may be a dragon in the sea......"

I heard what Uncle Ming said, and looked back at Gu Chai again, and after thinking about it, I was a little disapproving, even if Gu Chai had excellent underwater skills and dared to fight fish dragons and sharks, but he was also an ordinary person of flesh and blood, but how could he be a dragon in the sea? The dragon scale clan is full of legends in the mouths of fishermen and egg people, is there really a scale clan in the world? It's too alarmist, this kid is at best a visitor to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, which I discovered a long time ago, but compared to the well-known idol of China at the time, "Mike. Hax: "He's a far cry, he doesn't have a dashing and handsome star, but he's as black and thin as a cement loach, but I guess his talent for diving is almost the same as Michael's, "a log that floated from the Atlantic."

Uncle Ming glanced at me and Shirley Yang, signaled to take a step to speak, I asked the fat man to help Gu Chai and Duo Ling clean up the corpses of Danmin Ruan Hei, and then followed Uncle Ming to the sloping deck, stepped on the boat, and while staring at the changes in the water around him, he asked him absentmindedly what he wanted to say?

Uncle Ming said: "There was really no alarmism just now, Ah Chai, Ah Ling, these two egg boys, we only know a rough idea of their previous life experience, Ah Chai is an orphan on Coral Temple Island overseas, but do you think his tattoo is very strange?" I have been in the South China Sea for half a lifetime, I have never seen anyone encounter a sword-spine whale salamander in the water, and can walk back and forth unscathed. ”

Shirley Yang and I glanced at each other, even so, it can't be said that Gu Chai's kid is a dragon non-human, Shirley Yang said that the way to look at the water to recognize the dragon dwelling, it is said that the mountain movers were quite proficient in the past, but now it has long been lost, could it be that Gu Chai's ancient art will be this kind of ancient art? He has always followed Ruan Hei's apprentice, and the skills of collecting eggs and looking for mussels are all derived from his master, but Ruan Hei doesn't seem to know these skills.

Uncle Ming saw that we didn't believe it, so he had to explain in detail, revealing some little-known egg people's past, Uncle Ming knew all kinds of things on the sea in great detail, knew the ins and outs of the egg pickers, and touched the gold captain and the egg people, although they belong to the same seventy-two lines, it is a business that has been there since ancient times, but the biggest difference between the two is that the touch gold school captain can be dwarfed, there are advances and retreats, and the egg people have always been "dead picking", to take the pearl with their lives, not to die and not to return, they worship the ancestor master is the "fisherman".

We are talking about the "egg people" and "egg picking" of the craft rules of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty only began to form, the period of the formal origin of the profession of egg picking, it is far earlier than the Ming Dynasty, its tradition and history is very ancient, taste and smell in the Qin and Han dynasties, there are barbarians on the water of the South China Sea, living on the boat for generations, naked, cloaked and scattered, come and go freely in the sea, fierce and exquisite, the best at going to the water pearl diving, carved with fish and dragon patterns, they claim to be fish and dragon scales, do not obey the king, do not respect the king.

Later, due to the increasingly bad living environment, had to be recruited by the court, called "Tan people", specializing in pearl diving in the sea, Tan people are the predecessors of the egg people in later generations, they have been embroidered around the body since childhood, the picture of the sea of fish and dragons, naked when going to the water, it is said that the pattern of this tattoo is called "through the sea array", so that the evil fish on the bottom of the sea see it, often mistakenly think that it is the same aquarium, it is often unwilling to do harm, the Tan human physique is special, year after year, day after day in the bottom of the sea pearl fishing, so that their descendants gradually give birth to a thin membrane in the eyes, At the bottom of the sea, it is like walking on a wide, flat street.

But because the exploitation of the "Tan people" by the ancient ruling class is too cool, and the Tan people themselves are more barbaric and bloodthirsty, and they are born with a backbone, whether it is slaughtering mussels and slaughtering whales, pulling dragon tendons and peeling shark skins, or entering the dragon's den to fight turtles, they have always been not afraid of death, so often when they are forced to be pressed too tightly by the government, they take the risk to kill the officials and rebel, generation after generation, and they rebel, and then they fall, after all, they are not many in number, their strength is limited, and it is difficult to achieve any big things, and finally they are almost extinct by the government. This ancient people living on the sea gradually disappeared completely, but the emperor and nobles still needed a lot of pearls, and the work engaged in by the Tan people was replaced by poor fishermen in the coastal areas, and slowly formed the current "egg people".

The craftsmanship and rules of the egg people are similar to the ancient Tan people, basically according to the cat and the tiger, as the saying goes, the style of the handle, all by the frame type, the egg people pick eggs at most according to the gourd painting scoop, learn a look, but the ancient Tan people's unique skills, most of them have not been able to learn, the two are not the same, but the living environment of the egg people is still cruel and harsh, often under the close monitoring of officers and soldiers, the head of the white blade is dangerous, regardless of the danger of the seabed, was forced to tie up the stone and sink into the water to collect eggs, basically ten picking nine death, There are also egg people who are unwilling to pay the Nanzhu in exchange for their lives, scrape the mussels with a sharp blade under the water, swallow the pearls into the abdomen, and hide them secretly, but when they return to the water, once they are recognized, they will be immediately disemboweled, and their limbs are tied on the spot, the abdomen is dissected, and the intestines are cut from the stomach to the anus, and after the intestines are scraped, the corpses are abandoned into the sea to feed the fish, most of the egg people are people who live at the bottom of the poverty and have no livelihood, or prisoners and exiles, even if they die more, no one frowns.
