Chapter 553: The Pearl Diver's Crisis
Yu Xiaolian was still not at ease, pursed her mouth for a long time and didn't speak, and seeing that everyone else had set off, she reluctantly asked, "Can't you not go?" Isn't the business of your vegetable and fruit store very good? We don't have a shortage of money to spend, so why do we have to join in the fun? ”
"I've already signed up, and the king of Yangjun is watching from above, if you go back on your word like this and give up halfway, what will people think? Okay, I promise you, it's all about your own safety, okay? Zhuang Xiaomo coaxed for a long time, and finally heard Xiaolian loosen her mouth.
"You...... Be careful, don't be reckless. I'm waiting for you to come back safely!! Yu Xiaolian's eyes were full of worry and reluctance.
Xiaolian's concern made Zhuang Xiaomo's heart feel like eating honey, sweet, he looked at her deeply, pushed his own pearl diving boat, took the prepared things, and sailed into the deep sea.
The pearl diver is a special wooden boat, powered by sails, with a round bow and stern, and a relatively wide hull, like a huge oval wooden basin. Zhuang Xiaomo checked the tools he had brought again: cables, pottery jars, straw recommendations, wooden barrels, bamboo baskets, pearl diving knives, and so on.
Yu Xiaolian watched Zhuang Xiaomo's pearl diving boat go farther and farther, and finally only left a small shadow where the sea and the sky met, and the heaviness in her heart deepened little by little. Yu Xiaocao always looked absent-minded when she saw Xiaolian when she came home, and almost cut off her fingers when she chopped vegetables a few times. She thought for a moment and said, "If you are not at ease, let's let the eldest brother row a boat to catch up, with my water nature, if he is in any danger, I can also help!" ”
"I'm going too, take me there, right? I've never been to the sea! He Wanning overheard the conversation between the sisters and jumped in to express her wishes.
"And me!" "Sister Yu, I want to go too!" "I, I, I'm ......" Before Yu Xiaocao could reply to her, a group of guys jumped into the kitchen who didn't think it was a big deal. Yu Xiaocao had a headache, and he knew that a few days before the announcement of the pearl diving competition, it would be good to send these guys away!
Just when she didn't know how to refuse, Dong Dali, the right-hand man beside King Yangjun, came over: "Miss Yu, our master is going to go to sea by boat, let his subordinates ask, are you interested?" ”
"Interested! Of course interested!! Before Xiaocao could speak, more than a dozen mouths answered for her. As a result, on the big boat of King Yangjun going to sea, there were more than a dozen excited and curious figures chattering.
The ships that went out to sea for cruising were not only the king of Yangjun. After all, celebrating Princess Duan's birthday is a happy event, and if one of those pearl divers has an accident, it won't be beautiful! Therefore, King Yangjun sent a dozen fleets to patrol back and forth in the deep sea. If someone asks for help, you can help in time.
Zhu Junyang originally planned to have a romantic trip on the sea with his little girl, but he didn't expect that there were more than a dozen giant light bulbs on the boat, which made his plan ruined. Looking at the group of yelling guys on the deck, he couldn't wait to carry them to the sea one by one!
Yu Xiaocao stood quietly at the bow of the boat, holding a monocular in his hand, looking and looking in the direction of Zhuang Xiaomo's boat. This kind of monocular was brought back from the West by Zhu Junyang when he went to the West, and was named "Clairvoyant".
"How? Did you find it? Yu Xiaolian asked anxiously next to her.
"Wait a while, how can you find so many pearl diving boats out today so quickly...... Wait, I really want to find Zhuang Xiaomo's guy, can you take a look? Yu Xiaocao handed the telescope to Xiaolian's hand and pointed her in the direction.
Xiaolian searched carefully, and finally saw Zhuang Xiaomo's figure. However, at this time, the situation of Zhuang Xiaomo's pearl diving ship was not optimistic. They encountered a relatively large whirlpool, and if they were not careful, they were in danger of shipwrecking and dying.
However, this little difficulty, of course, could not be difficult for him. Zhuang Xiaomo commanded the people on the boat and threw the straw recommendations into the whirlpool. When the whirlpool received a small slowdown from the grass, he drove the pearl diving boat slowly through.
"Ruizhi, let's go that way, don't get too close, as long as you can observe the movement over there with a telescope!" Yu Xiaocao felt that if Zhuang Xiaomo was within their eyesight, Xiaolian would feel more at ease.
Zhu Junyang saw that the little girl's attention was on others, and he was unhappy: "Hmph! It turns out that you agreed so readily to the lord and traveled with the lord, it is an ulterior motive! It seems that you didn't take it to heart at all. ”
This guy, the vinegar is coming up again. Yu Xiaocao hurriedly calmed his emotions: "Isn't this for my sister?" If she is allowed to think about it at home, she doesn't know what will happen! You, why do you eat everyone's vinegar? ”
For the sake of his sister-in-law in the future, he endured it! Zhu Junyang knew that her diving and swimming skills were extraordinary, pointed to the cabin, and asked, "Pearling is such an interesting thing, don't you plan to experience it?" ”
Yu Xiaocao touched her ears, and had to admit that Zhu Junyang still knew her better, and she secretly brought water over this time, but she didn't expect to be discovered by him.
"Actually, I just wanted to try my luck, after all, pearl diving is very new to us and has no experience." Yu Xiaocao smiled wryly.
Zhu Junyang nodded at her little brain and said with a smile: "Let's go, I will compensate you for going down and swimming around." Where's your little dolphin friend? Is it still there? ”
"Yes, Xiaobu gave birth to a dolphin baby who is exactly like it, and he is not afraid of people at all like his mother, and he is very cute! I'll go down and change my clothes first, and I'll call it over later so you can see it!" Yu Xiaocao said hello to the excited guys on the boat, and got out of the cabin to change the water on his body.
Zhu Junyang also replaced his tailor-made water support, the bulging muscles under the tight leather coat, the powerful and slender thighs, and the bee waist without a trace of fat, stunned Xiaocao - this guy's figure is really good!
Touching the little girl's admiring gaze, Zhu Junyang couldn't help but feel proud in his heart. Glancing towards the little girl's close water, he couldn't help frowning. The little girl has only begun to develop in the past two years, although her chest is still far from the waves, but after all, there are ups and downs, coupled with a slender waist, the water perfectly outlines her slender figure. No, this benefit can only be enjoyed by him, and cannot be seen by others! Zhu Junyang put his coat on the little girl's body and asked her to take it off when she went into the sea.
Yu Xiaocao glanced at the valuable clothes and pouted, since the owner of the clothes was not distressed, what else did she have to worry about. However, after this clothing goes to the sea, it will definitely be scrapped, this guy is really just a day!
Yu Xiaocao went into the sea from the side of the boat with a perfect diving action, and the young masters and ladies who saw it were envious. After Zhu Junyang entered the sea, he swam on the side of Xiaocao, and the two of them swam away in the sea like winged fish. Of course, intentionally or unintentionally, Xiaocao swam in the direction where Zhuang Xiaomo's pearl boat was located.
The pearl diving competition lasts for 20 days. A few days ago, for pearl divers, it was used to detect the sea area where pearl oysters gathered, and they called it a pearl pond. However, for Zhuang Xiaomo, who was born and raised and is familiar with the nearby seas, this step can be omitted.
When he came to the sea area that he had long been optimistic about, he put on two groups of people and began to act: he had good water quality and good diving skills, and was responsible for diving to the bottom of the sea to pick pearl oysters; Brother Jiang and the others were in charge of driving the boat and answering the boat.
Zhuang Xiaomo, who put on shark skin and leaned on the water, tied a thin and long rope around his waist, held a brightly sharpened pearl diving knife in one hand, and held a bamboo pearling basket with a large belly and a small mouth in the other. He took a deep breath, took a full breath, and dived to the bottom of the ocean. In the middle of the sea, you have to keep your eyes open to find pearl oysters.
The sea area he chose was not bad, and not long after he went to the bottom of the sea, he found a pearl oyster. He swam up to a palm-sized pearl oyster and picked it up into the pearling basket. In this way, he picked up several similarly sized ones in a row, but unfortunately they didn't satisfy him.
Suddenly, he noticed a pearl oyster in the middle of the reef, the size of a plate, and in his experience, there was a great chance that this pearl oyster would have pearls. He slammed his legs and headed for the rocks. A slender black shadow came to him, saying that it was too late and that was fast, Zhuang Xiaomo instinctively waved the pearl diving knife in his hand, and the black shadow broke into two, it turned out to be a kelp, which was really a false alarm.
He approached the pearl oyster, and when he picked it up with his hands, he found that the pearl oyster was attached to the reef with very attached foot filaments, and he didn't pull it several times. He swung his pearl knife and cut off the pearl oyster's foot before taking it into his bag. The air in his lungs was almost consumed, and Zhuang Xiaomo pulled the rope around his waist. Brother Jiang, who was always paying attention to the movement of the rope above, and several other young men received the signal from him to float, so they quickly pulled the rope and lifted him out of the water. Zhuang Xiaomo gulped in the fresh air and smiled at Brother Jiang, who took his pearl basket with pearl oysters and poured the pearl oysters into a clay jar filled with seawater to raise them temporarily.
"How? Would you like to take a break? Jiang Sanshan asked with concern. Zhuang Xiaomo shook his head, took a deep breath and jumped into the sea again, and disappeared in an instant.
This is relatively smooth. A true pearl diver's life may not always be so smooth. Sometimes the person who wears it receives not a signal from the pearl diver to float, but a thread of blood floating out of the sea, then the pearl diver is probably more than lucky, and it is likely to be attacked by sharks on the bottom of the sea.
At this time, when the pearl diver is hurriedly pulled up, it is possible that he will have broken arms and legs, and he will be scarred and his flesh and blood will be blurred. Even if he narrowly escapes death, he will become a cripple. Sometimes, what is brought up is nothing more than the severed arm and stump of the pearl diver, which is unbearable.

I saw that a little cutie said that she wanted to see the entertainment industry. However, my editors are not optimistic, saying that the current few articles written in the entertainment industry have not achieved good results. I'm going to open a comprehensive dress, and integrate themes such as the current sayings of the entertainment industry, the era, women, and the end of the world. When the time comes, the cuties will watch which part they like.
