Chapter 296: This Era of Seeing Faces
The room was full of people wondering how to go to the pearl divers' gathering place to buy mermaid tears directly, and no one noticed that a seagull was floating on the bamboo pole outside the wooden house where the fishing nets were drying, shaking its head and looking at the people in the house.
After a long time, the seagull fluttered its wings and flew away, it went around the dock set, around the sandy beach outside the mulberry sea, flew straight to a certain cliff and reef, and landed lightly on a reef, wave after wave of sea water pounced, splashing countless splashes, the seagull's pair of black eyes dripping around, looking extremely clever and lovely.
After a while, a touch of deep blue flashed in the churning waves, and the seagull, which was still jumping around on the reef, lowered its head very respectfully at this moment, until a pair of white jade hands stained with water droplets stroked a feather on its head, and the seagull lifted its almost bent neck.
With a crisp "Ouou" sound, long or short, some high-pitched and loud sounds, the owner of the pair of jade hands also lay on the reef, under the wet long hair, you can vaguely see the white arm like congealed fat, is supporting the perfect line of the chin, after listening thoughtfully for a long time, pursed his lips, laughed.
"Hmm~ mermaid tears? Turns out she likes this? ”
After muttering to himself, he waved his hand, and the moment the seagull spread its wings and soared into the sky, the whiteness that was still lying on the reef was gone.
Returning to the picture of Wen Su and his party, since they decided to go to the pearl divers to buy it, in order to avoid trouble, they could only choose to sneak into the gathering place to find it. Qing Ziye and Bai Weiyang, who originally wanted to go through the normal procedure, finally gave up the idea of taking the formal method after being brainwashed by Lonely Shuhan and with the help of Xu Qingrang's gods.
To sum it up in the words of Lonely Shuhan, it is probably that it is not that it does not pay anyway, and as far as the matter of six shark tears, why do you have to go through the official record, it is so complicated, if it involves anything with these officials and businessmen, it is really the same as leeches, and it can't be torn off.
Unlike the clean and orderly dock fair, this pearl diver colony looks more like a refugee camp. The black tents were set up one by one, all kinds of boats were tied to the reef, and there were bamboo poles and fishing nets inserted in the sand, but more were finger-thick hemp ropes, long rolled together, stacked in front of the tents.
"This is it? What's next? ”
Wen Su asked in a low voice, after all, it is not a formal way, obviously you can't shout loudly, and it is estimated that it is not even appropriate to go out in a bright way.
Qu Qingran stretched his neck and looked around, and said, "There doesn't seem to be any caretaker." ”
"Do you still need to be guarded? Generally, the pearl diving tasks issued by the government, the number of pearl diving they pick directly determines whether they have food in the next few days, even if they are not supervised, they will do it desperately, as long as they are not sick or whatever, these pearl divers will not stop. ”
Lonely Han's voice was cold and sad, but it was also the same fact as blood.
Qu Qingran pursed his lips, although they are disciples of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, they have always done a lot of demon suppression and demon elimination, and this kind of thing that has been agreed upon in the world really can't be controlled too much.
"Okay, okay, none of this matters, what's next?"
Wen Su tugged at Qu Qingran's sleeve and reminded her that it was important to get down to business now. But at this time, Lonely Han suddenly looked at everyone and smiled evilly, * naked eyes slipped over the person, the appearance of the yuppie and the yuppie looked at it made people feel a sigh in the bottom of their hearts, and Wen Su only felt that the hairs on his body stood up.
On a quiet day as usual in the pearl diver's gathering place on the coast, a young pearl diver was washing the bamboo basket for clam shells on the seashore with the surging waves, and she seemed to hear the sound of people stepping on the gravel beside her.
There are few outsiders visiting the gathering place, especially today is not the day to receive the goods, the pearl diver girl looked up curiously, and suddenly, she only felt that there was a vast glow in front of her, even the sunrise by the sea, the beautiful scenery of the golden glow was not as good as the scene she saw in her eyes now-
Seven or eight beautiful men and women with beautiful faces walked in her direction, all of them had the beauty of immortals, and they were still wearing colorful silk clothes, and they were facing the slight sea breeze, treading the waves!
All the way into the gathering place, no half of the people came forward to stop them, no one even came to ask questions, everyone seemed to be stunned as if they had seen a peerless treasure. Wen Su couldn't help but pout, this didn't do anything, it shocked these pearl divers so much that they couldn't even turn their eyes, they walked all the way, and these pearl divers followed the dementia all the way.
The consul at the gathering place soon heard the news and hurried over, thinking that it was a small night, but he didn't take two steps to see Wen Su and his party, and suddenly turned into a dementia, Bai Weiyang shouted several times, and he seemed to react.
At this time, Bai Weiyang immediately played his good diplomatic role, and fortunately, the consul was an upright young man in his early twenties, who seemed to be very communicative. Bai Weiyang asked about their coming to buy mermaid tears.
Pity the honest young man with a dark face but clear and upright facial features, he was stunned for a while when he saw Bai Weiyang, especially after seeing the three girls standing behind, he almost flew out of the sky.
was obviously talking to Bai Weiyang, but his eyes were basically glued to the two sisters of the Qu family, Wen Su stood beside the two of them, looking at Qu Qingran's big eyes that were about to turn to the sky with some amusement.
Thinking of the people in this gathering place, no one has probably seen those ladies and sons in the city in their lives, so when they saw the appearance of Wensu's group of people, they immediately thought that the immortals had descended to earth. Except for the consul, who could blush-face and stumble to Bai Weiyang to say a few words, the other pearl divers all watched from a distance in groups of three or five, as if they were looking at some treasure.
Wen Su, who was standing behind the Qu sisters, felt the blazing eyes coming from all directions, and smiled secretly, almost all the pearl divers were paying attention to the boys in the team, but the girls still knew what it meant to be reserved, so although their eyes were burning, they were also somewhat restrained.
But men are different, they have not read books, they have no concept of gentlemen's indecent disregard, as soon as they see beautiful women, those fiery eyes are like a flame, staring at people almost burning.
If this is simply a comparison of beauty, then it must be Qu Qingyou's victory, but Qu Qingran's * is also very attractive to these men with strong blood, and for a while, most of the eyes were basically covered by the two sisters of the Qu family.
And Wen Su is not unbeautiful, but people are always superior to others, and when she compares with the heroines, it is just that her beautiful and beautiful facial features become not so brilliant. As for her proud long legs~ Everyone is wearing a long skirt, who will lift her skirt?
When she was secretly laughing, Wen Su suddenly felt that the sunlight beside her was dim, as if something was blocking her, covering the hot sunlight and the undisguised fiery gaze.
Raising his eyes, Xun Yi's handsome and tall figure came into view, he seemed to feel her gaze, lowered his head and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
Wen Su shook his head, and suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart, did he hurt this bear child in vain, look, how intimate~
"No, thank you."
"You're welcome."
How can you let someone look at you with such a naked eye? I haven't seen it like this yet!
This roaring voice was heard by Yuan Yuan, who was hiding in the spirit beast's sac, and his big triangular eyes squinted at the mouth of the bag, and he sighed: His shovel officer is not lightly ill, but unfortunately, it is unrrhed!
Wen Su looked at the basket of freshly baked pearls in front of him, and felt that his eyes were about to go blind. These pearls have not yet been polished and selected, they are all in their original appearance, different sizes and colors, but they are several times better looking than those sold in stores.
Picking up a round white pearl, the round luster is as beautiful as a cloud, looking at it is lovely, Wen Su raised it to his eyes and looked at it, gently rubbed it twice, and then put it into the basket on the other side. Xun Yi beside him also picked up one and pinched it gently, and then gently put it down, the careful appearance was as fragile as if this batch of pearls were glass.
As for why they are so careful? Even if the pearl divers agreed so easily to let them sift through the mermaid's tears in the pearls, they all had to be careful not to hurt the quality of the pearls. Thinking of Lonely Han's idea, Wen Su didn't even have the strength to complain, it was really simple and rude to make people doubt the way of life.
Time went backwards, and just when everyone was going to go directly to the consul at the gathering place to explain their intentions, Lonely Han suggested a solution. He asked everyone to remove the spells that covered their faces, this matter was originally agreed to by no one, they were traveling, they should have acted in a low-key manner, but it was impossible for outstanding looks to be low-key, so except for Xu Qingrang and Lonely Shuhan, everyone more or less laid a layer of small spells on their faces, so that people couldn't see or remember their appearance.
When Su Shuhan suddenly proposed this, he was immediately opposed, and he retorted unhurriedly: "Tsk~ You say you are not flexible enough, right?" Have you ever heard of the phrase 'everyone has a love for beauty'? We didn't cross the road at all this time, and you have too many scruples, the pearls that people have worked so hard to pick are their lifeblood, you say to show you, they will show you? It's not their master's family, and it's not from the government, maybe you're going to be beaten out with a stick before you say a word, what will you do then? To steal? You can't do that.
So do as I say, withdraw all the spells on your faces, these pearl divers don't see outsiders all day long, and suddenly a group of young masters and young ladies like immortals came, and it is much more convenient to do things, you must know that this person is beautiful, you just did bad things, and people are reluctant to send you to see the official, not to mention that you are just here to collect shark tears, maybe any of you will laugh, and this thing will be done? ”
So there was the next scene, until the consul of the pearl diver finally knew their intention, and it can be said that he was very heroic and immediately ordered people to carry out all the pearls collected for them to buy, Wen Su completely knelt down for Shanshuhan: Isn't it just a knee, you take it!
Although this guy is not in tune, many things are really to the point. As he said, people are beautiful and do everything better than ordinary people, even if they do bad things, they will be forgiven.
Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, no matter which world TM looks at the era of faces!
The consul of the pearl divers not only agreed to the pearls they had already collected, but also instructed the other pearl divers to set up a temporary resting place for them, and behold, the tents that had been erected were very straight and straight, and they were about to catch up with the military tents.
If it weren't for Qing Ziye and the others who refused several times, it is estimated that someone would have taken out all their net worth.
