Chapter 18 Picking Mussels and Pearls

When the sunset was full, the boat really docked in the wharf of Yanggui Village, Lingzhu Town, and the six civilian boats that followed the boat also docked to the side. As soon as the boat came to a stop, the passengers eagerly stepped onto the shipboard to land, or went to the restaurants to eat, or wandered in front of the stalls along the shore. The smoke of the restaurants and the shouting of the vendors together with the sunset outline the full atmosphere of fireworks in the world.

The little mute Barin Ruyu, who has a birthmark on his face and is afraid of seeing a living person, will not land on the shore. She stood by the open window and looked out.

Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water. There are many stalls selling fish, pearls and other parallel goods, and there are also smart vendors who put out pearl mussels and buy mussels to take pearls on the spot, and the business is very good. Lin Dafu was also dragged to the stall by his son, who had never been out of Wusha Town, to join in the fun.

Until the sky was dark, and An Ziyuan still abandoned the ship and landed on the shore, Lin Ruyu's thick eyebrows furrowed, and he raised his hand and knocked the plank of the compartment a few times rhythmically, and Shen Ge in the next room soon came.

Lin Ruyu said in a low voice, "An Ziyuan doesn't like to take a boat, but now he hasn't landed yet." ”

An Ziyuan doesn't like to take a boat, and she dreamed of it? How long is her dream, how can she even know such a thing? Shen Ge's heart turned back and forth, "He either avoids people's eyes and ears and waits for it to get dark before landing on the shore, or for some reason it is inconvenient to go ashore, I will go into the water to keep an eye on him." ”

When Lin Ruyu saw that he was wearing a dark blue shirt, he knew that he planned to go into the water and hide in the reeds, so he advised, "The kung fu of the four people around him is not weak, don't get too close." ”

Shen Ge, who has been fighting with people since he was a child and has followed Uncle Ma to practice martial arts for many years, is very confident in himself, "The four of them go together, and I should be defeated; But if you bring one out alone, you will definitely not be able to defeat me. Don't go out, Shengzi and the third uncle will bring you food. ”

After the western sky darkened, lanterns were lit up, the roadside restaurants were full of people, the smell of rice wafted to the boat, and when Lin Ruyu's stomach growled, Uncle Ma came to bring her food.

Xu was still being stared at, and Uncle Ma told her a few words in style, and then turned around and left. As the head of the dart, he had to lead people to guard the cargo on the ship, so as to prevent the sailors from sneaking on the ship or scuttling the bottom of the ship to steal the goods.

Looking at the hot white flour buns and fragrant slices of sauce meat, Lin Ruyu showed her face and showed her teeth. The soup is the most easily poisoned, and the steamed buns and sauce meat can be eaten with confidence, and the third uncle is very thoughtful. However, just in case, Lin Ruyu still took out the prepared silver needles and tried them one by one before starting to eat.

As soon as she was full, she saw that her son was still unsatisfied and pulled Dafu back to the boat. The son was carrying food, and Daifuku was holding three pearl mussels bigger than a palm in his arms. Lin Ruyu closed the window and lit the half-cut candle fixed to the candlestick.

Knowing that Lin Ruyu had already eaten, Shengzi still stuffed her with a coarse grain cake with fried small fish, Lin Dafu took out the wooden basin under the bed and went out to fetch water, ready to open the mussels.

Shengzi complained to Lin Ruyu, "I told Brother Dafu that this is all a lie, but he doesn't believe it." ”

Daifuku admits death, he is not familiar with the birth of a son, of course he will not listen to him. However, when he was in Wusha Town, the little beggar did not talk much, but when he came out, he had the lively and active appearance that an eleven-year-old child should have. Lin Ruyu, who was gnawing on the cake, pointed to the mussel and gestured.

"I didn't spend any money, Dafu rolled the dice and rolled three leopards of six to win it back, he really has no one with this luck!" Seeing Dafu walking in with water, Shengzi urged again, "Brother Dafu, open it up and take a look, after opening, let's take the meat back to the shore and roast it to eat, it's fragrant." I said to drive on the shore, you have to come to the boat, what should you do if you are looking for the second sister so much? ”

Dafuku, who was competing with the pearl mussel, didn't raise his head, "Open the pearl and smash it to wipe the powder on his face and cure the disease." ”

Brother Dafu saw the birthmark on her face, and he wanted to treat her in the way he knew. Lin Ruyu's heart is warm, Dafu died to save her in the previous life, and she has to do her best to make him live a more stable life in this life.

Daifuku struggled to open the first mussel shell, and there was only meat.

Open the second mussel shell, still clean only meat.

"Look, pearls are so good. It's so easy, the mussel seller will get rich early. "Shengzi stood up, and there was no hope.

Lin Ruyu, who was standing behind, patted Dafu's shoulder to show comfort.

In the disappointed eyes of the son and Lin Ruyu's expectation, Lin Dafu opened the last pearl mussel.

"Out of the beads!" Shengzi's eyes widened, "It's still Dazhu, Brother Dafu, take it out and take a look!" ”

Lin Dafu took out the pearl and washed it in water, grinned and handed it to Lin Ruyu. Shengzi's eyes turned with the pearl, and his mouth kept sighing, "My God, I have a God......"

Valuation of other things, Lin Ruyu may not have that ability, but the little girl who grew up in jewelry and cloth piles has the price of this kind of pearl in her memory. Such a large round and glittering pink pearl is worth fifty taels of silver!

Lin Ruyu patted Dafu's shoulder excitedly, Dafuku made a lot of money this time! It's so much fun to open the blind box!

"Smash, grind, heal." Daifuku said humbly.

"Brother, I'll drop a brother! How can such a big bead grind powder! Shengzi couldn't wait to pull up Daifuku, "Let's go, go!" Let's continue to roll the dice and open the mussels! ”

Lin Ruyu grabbed Shengzi, raised her finger in front of her lips, and signaled him not to make a noise.

"Second sister, don't worry, I'm not stupid." Shengzi roared anxiously to report the mussels with one hand, and dragged Lin Dafu out of the boat room with the other.

Lin Ruyu closed the door and blew out the candles, holding the round pink pearl in her hand and smiling, live again, Dafu's luck is really good.

While Shengzi and Daifuku jumped up and down to attract the attention of Fan Genyuan and An Ziyuan, Shen Ge took advantage of the night to enter the water, dived into the reeds and cattails, and stared at the boat not far away through the gaps between the blades of grass.

After the rain in July, the weather was still sweltering, but the windows of An Ziyuan's ship were always closed, and the candlelight reflected in the windows, and no one shook for a long time. Even if there are frogs singing beside him, Shen Ge is still lurking, and the most important thing he lacks is patience.

An hour later, everyone returned to the boat or went to the inn to rest, and when the excitement was gone, only the frogs and insects were singing, and there was finally movement on the boat of An Ziyuan.

A servant came out of the cabin and sprinkled water on the surface of the river not far from Shen Ge, who was at the downwind outlet, and keenly caught the bloody qi.

An Ziyuan is injured? He hid in the boat and did not show his face, was he not lightly injured? That's great news! Shen Ge grinned and laughed silently.

Another hour passed, and the night passed by. The lights on An Ziyuan's boat had long been extinguished, Shen Ge secretly yawned, and was about to return to the boat to sleep when he suddenly saw an arm silently poking out of the water and grabbing An Ziyuan's side of the boat!
