Chapter 21 Fishing for river mussels, prying pearls

"Big Eagle, Little Eagle."

Ye Xiuyan shook the net pocket in her hand and smiled: "I was lucky today, I caught a few river mussels, you have something delicious." ”

"Diligently."

The two ospreys saw the shining eyes of the mussels, and they couldn't wait to stretch their necks and peck at the nets.

"Don't worry, pry open the shell before you can eat it."

Ye Xiuyan pinched a small spell, dried her hair and clothes, took out the river crab, threw it on the bamboo raft, and let the two ospreys scramble.

The river crabs were frightened and scurried on the bamboo raft.

The two ospreys are like cats and mice, stretching out their pointed beaks, chasing and intercepting them.

Ye Xiuyan put on a hat, took out a sharp knife from the barrel, poured the river mussel out of the net pocket, and skillfully pried the mussel shell.

Six mussels, one of which is shaped like an adult's palm.

She pried the shells of the mussels from childhood to adulthood, scraped off the mussel meat with a knife, and treated the two ospreys.

The two ospreys smelled the mussel meat, lost interest in teasing the crab, and rushed to surround them.

Ye Xiuyan threw the mussel meat on the bamboo raft, and threw the mussel shell into the river.

Two ospreys competed for mussel meat, and ate deliciously, eating five in a row, still not enough, the eagle's eyes converged on the last river mussel, eager to burst into flames.

"Two greedy cats."

Ye Xiuyan smiled and patted the heads of the two ospreys, and picked up the last river mussel.

This mussel is the size of an adult's palm, and its inky black shell is shiny and oily.

"Diligently."

The two ospreys couldn't wait to pry it open and couldn't wait to peck at the mussel shells with their hawks' beaks.

"Can't peck it."

Ye Xiuyan smiled, and her two hands quickly alternated to change the river mussels.

The eyes of the two ospreys, as her hands kept turning, became cross-eyed in a while.

"Hahaha."

Ye Xiuyan couldn't hold back for a while, and burst out laughing.

The palm-sized mussel has an eighty percent chance of giving birth to pearls.

Ye Xiuyan had already seen the situation inside with internal vision, prying the clam shell with extra caution, the knife reached into the edge of the gap, gently extended in, and the blade stopped immediately when it touched the hard object.

The two ospreys stared at her cross-eyed, unblinking.

Ye Xiuyan made a clever move, pried open the mussel shell, revealing six oval-shaped pearls the size of soybeans.

"See, there are pearls, but fortunately the shell was not pecked by the two of you."

She glanced playfully at the two ospreys, and skillfully slashed the mussels with a knife to squeeze the pearls out.

"Diligently."

The two ospreys saw that the pearl was also shining with eagle eyes, and looked eagerly at her palm.

"Pearls can't be eaten by you."

Ye Xiuyan threw the remaining mussel meat on the bamboo raft.

With the delicious mussel meat, the two ospreys immediately left the pearls behind and began a new round of scramble.

Ye Xiuyan washed the pearls in the river water and put them in her close-fitting pockets.

"Help, help."

In the middle of the turbulent river, a small boat fell into the undercurrent whirlpool, shook violently a few times, and crashed into a two-story luxury passenger boat.

The boat capsized in an instant, and the three people on board fell into the water, sinking and floating in the rapids of the river.

Ye Xiuyan heard the cry for help, she didn't think about it, picked up the bamboo pole and poked it into the water, rowing the bamboo raft to the capsized boat.

A black-haired black-clad teenager jumped out of the open window on the second floor of the luxury passenger ship at this moment, and his feet were running fast on the river.

*

When he came to the capsized boat, he leaned down and grabbed the two men who had fallen into the water, tapped his toes on the bottom of the boat, and spun around like a goshawk spreading its wings, and ran quickly towards the bamboo raft.
