Chapter 298: The One Who Stole the Pearls
The stall owner is the territory of the demon clan, he is the head of the snake, and there are many helpers, although he doesn't want to provoke these murderous gold diggers on weekdays, but he really wants to fight, but he is not afraid.
Bai Qianyu knew that the three gold diggers must have recognized themselves and Wei Xiao as people of the human race, and regarded them as the same kind, so they protected each other with words and exposed the truth about the stall owners selling the quality beads, so as not to be fooled, although the reputation of this gold digger for killing people and selling goods is very bad, but they are dedicated to protecting themselves and Wei Xiao, always out of good intentions, and hurriedly dissuaded them at the moment: "Don't do it, listen to me first!"
She is a beautiful girl, and at the moment she is dressed up with flowers, and she looks more and more charming under the sea breeze and sun in Dongyao Town, even at such a tense moment, several people still involuntarily stopped and glanced at her.
Bai Qianyu coughed and said: "These three big brothers are the same human race as us, and we met in Dongyao Town, it is really a foreign country, we look very kind, the kind of high-grade pearls that the three big brothers talked about are very valuable, we are shy in our pockets, not as generous as the three big brothers, originally I just wanted to buy a few at will, and play with the grass and the little fox as marbles." ”
The faces of the three of them softened.
Shamrock listened to it and muttered secretly: "Take me and Xiao'a fire to the pot again......"
The little fox looked at Bai Qianyu with an expectant look, as if he thought that it could really play with pearls as marbles.
Shamrock hated iron and stroked its furry head: "Although you are still young, this IQ is still very problematic......"
Bai Qianyu said to the stall owner again: "How much is the white pearl I just fancied? ”
When the stall owner saw that Bai Qianyu was willing to buy it, he was already at a loss, so he dissipated his anger and climbed down the ladder sent by Bai Qianyu: "Since this girl buys it, then I don't want much, just one or two silver!"
Bai Qianyu secretly calculated in her heart, the price of silver in the real world is about 4 yuan per gram, so one or two pieces of silver is about 400 yuan, she has seen shallow water pearls when she traveled in Hangzhou, and such a large one also costs about 300 yuan, so this deep-sea pearl is about 400 yuan, which is also reasonable and fair.
Although the attraction rips off customers, it is twice as expensive as the locals buy, but it is about the past.
A tael of silver can calm things down, and it's worth it.
She was about to ask Wei Xiao to take the money, but Clover pursed her lips and said very dissatisfied: "Don't we have a bead as big as an egg, why do we have to spend a tael of silver to buy this?
When the three gold diggers and the stall owner heard this, their faces changed.
Clover looked at Bai Qianyu, then at the faces of Taobao customers and stall owners, and said, "I...... Am I saying something wrong?"
"You're right, Xiao Yezi," the eldest of the three, "Lu Lao", looked at it with a pleasant face, "Where is the bead the size of an egg you said?"
"This ...... What ...... this" Clover glanced at Bai Qianyu, trying to discern the answer from her face: "This bead, we seem to be, it seems to be ......" It slapped its head: "Lost on the road!"
"Lost?" The "Lu Lao" is obviously a well-informed person who has experienced many storms in his life, and said steadily: "Such a big bead, smashed in the water and 'fluttered' sound, how can you say that it is lost?" Leaned over and looked at the clover: "It's not good to lie, the nose will grow long, and the leaves will be small." ”
"I'm not called Xiao Yezi!" Clover protested dissatisfiedly, and then looked at Bai Qianyu as if asking for help.
Bai Qianyu simply took out the "Mingyue Heart" from his arms and opened the green cloth handkerchief wrapped outside: "Look, it's right here!"
As soon as the "Bright Moon Heart" appeared from the green cloth, the light immediately appeared, even under the blue sky and white sun, the dazzling eyes were also bright, just like Bai Qianyu holding a bright moon in his hand.
Lu Lao and the Chang Bamboo Pole and Zhu Fat Man surrounded him, three pairs of eyes looked at Mingyuexin, and the three faces showed a look of surprise, their eyes seemed to be glued to the bead, and they couldn't move for half a minute.
Even though the three of them were sea gold diggers who were accustomed to seeing gold and jewelry, they saw this rare treasure at this time, and they couldn't help but take it from God.
Even the stall owner, who has been in the pearl business all year round, couldn't help but peek at it, and his face looked like he had been slapped in the face.
— and the swollen kind that was beaten.
Such beads are already rare, not to mention one tael of silver, even ten thousand taels, and you can't buy one-ten-thousandth of it.
At this time, Wei Xiao coughed and motioned for Bai Qianyu to put away the beads.
He didn't care about the value of the bead, but he was afraid that once the wealth was exposed, it would cause everyone to covet it, and it would be a branch.
Bai Qianyu understood, wrapped the veil, closed the green cloth, and covered the dazzling light of the "Bright Moon Heart".
"It's really a good baby...... "After a long time, Lu Laofang shook his head and sighed: "The old man went south and north, such a big sea pearl, but it is also the only one in his life, in other words, this pearl has a legend ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard the chariot and the chariot passing by.
A man dressed as a fisherman, walking in front with a harpoon on his shoulder, carrying a fishing net and an iron frame for grilling fish on his back, shouted rhythmically as he walked: "Come and taste the small seven grilled fish!
As he was shouting, there was a sound of carriage and horses behind him, and the carriage galloped past.
The streets of the town were originally narrow, and when they were so crowded, the fisherman was suddenly knocked to the side and fell to Bai Qianyu's side, Bai Qianyu hurriedly stretched out his hand and used a lot of strength to support him.
The young fisherman stood up, and just said to her, "Thank you!" Unexpectedly, the harpoon behind him moved, and knocked over the pearl stall, and suddenly more than a hundred pearls fell from the stall and rolled to the ground.
Suddenly, a few naughty boys from the street rushed forward and snatched the beads, one by one as marbles and were very happy.
The stall owner was red-eyed, and he didn't care about reasoning with the fisherman, so he hurriedly chased the naughty boys to ask for beads.
The fisherman took advantage of this opportunity to swagger away, shaking the harpoon on his shoulder while shouting: "Little Seven grilled fish, catch the live fish now, taste the delicious taste and clap your hands three times, smell the fragrance and turn back in ten steps and nine times!"
The three gold diggers said hello to Bai Qianyu and Wei Xiao, and also walked away.
Bai Qianyu turned around, and was just about to take a step, when she suddenly touched her arms, it was empty, she hurriedly touched it again, and said in a lost voice: "'Mingyue Heart' is gone!"
Wei Xiao thought for a moment and said, "It's the one who sells grilled fish! You helped him, but he took the opportunity to steal the 'Mingyue Heart' in your arms!"
After saying that, he immediately turned around and ran after the back of the fisherman in front of him.
As soon as he ran, Shamrock and the little fox immediately ran after him.
On the contrary, Bai Qianyu has not practiced any quenching, and his physical strength is the worst, so he fell last.
The fisherman, who had been walking unhurriedly among the people, heard the footsteps behind him, looked back, and immediately exerted his feet and ran forward with the harpoon net on his back.
But where can he outrun Wei Xiao?
Wei Xiao's figure flickered on the street, like a gust of wind, and he was about to catch the fisherman's back collar.
When the fisherman looked back, he was immediately shocked, and immediately turned his body short, got into the crowd, turned left and right, and threw Wei Xiao away by relying on the familiarity of the street.
One after the other, the two men knocked over several carts, smashed several clay pots, and washed down several vegetable stalls.
And on this road, a green grass and a fiery little fox have been following without abandoning, jumping and flashing in the eyes of passers-by with great surprise, and the scene is simply very lively.
It wasn't until he ran onto the secluded path that the fisherman suddenly turned around and grinned at Wei Xiao.
"This is my territory, you won't be able to catch me!"
He suddenly turned his head and ran forward.
In front of it is a belt of low and dilapidated wooden houses, built on the seaside, which have been eroded by the sea breeze all the year round, and the houses look rotten, and those houses are surrounded by a shallow water bay, standing high and low, and in the shallow bay, there are several large and small sea boats, and there are many masts.
As soon as the fisherman ran here, it was like a fish jumping into the sea, and he disappeared in an instant.
Wei Xiao stared in the direction he was running, slowed down, and his eyes wandered between the wooden houses in the area.
The huts were built unevenly, and the outside of the houses were piled up with fishing nets, harpoons, nets, umbrellas, fishing rods, hand rod holders, and some wooden benches, which made them even more chaotic, and they were a great place to hide.
Wei Xiao's footsteps stepped on the uneven ground, his eyes searched between the wooden houses, and suddenly stopped, walking towards the innermost wooden house in Repulse Bay.
The wooden house was low-lying, and it was the one facing the sea at the outermost, which looked more and more dilapidated, and the owner seemed to be too lazy to take care of it, and the things outside the house were piled up in a mess.
And in the middle of all these messy fishing gears, there is actually a person.
The man was squatting by the inlet, with a hat on his head, his back hunched up, as if he were carrying a large turtle shell on his back, and on his wrinkled right hand, he was holding a large smoking gun, which he put to his mouth from time to time and smoked twice, and the smoke rose from the cigarette pouch.
The man crouched there, like a turtle, motionless except for his smoking mouth and hands, and his cloudy eyes stared at the boats in the repulse bay, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wei Xiao slowly walked towards him.
"Old man," he gestured to the man, "I wonder if you saw a man with a harpoon net passing by?"
The man held the cigarette pouch to his mouth for a long time, motionless.
It's as if it's petrified.
After a moment, he slowly brought the cigarette pouch closer to his mouth and took a puff.
"Old man," Wei Xiao said patiently, "We are chasing a thief who stole something, he just ran over from here, I wonder if you saw it?"
The man slowly spat out a puff of smoke from his mouth, but still did not answer.
It's as if I'm deaf.
