Hu Xiaoci blocked in front of Ma Chengfeng, and kept tapping the hard shell of the giant clam with his fingers, knocking loudly, no matter how he knocked the giant clam he wouldn't open it. In fact, it's not that Hu Xiaoci doesn't understand the essentials, but where there is light in the daytime, the mussels in the water will not open the carapace, and the fishermen who live along the Songhua River all the year round know that every month and a half, as soon as the full moon night arrives, the moon in the sky is full like a big cake, and the moonlight shines softly and poignantly in the river water. Every month, as long as this day comes, you stand on the edge of the river to watch, the river water is like inlaid with countless brilliant gems, the underwater giant mussels open their carapaces to absorb the moonlight rays, and the East Pearl in their mouths blooms with dazzling light.

If the Tan people on the riverside want to collect eggs, they must dive into the river in the middle of the night on the night of the full moon. This craft is not something you just learned, everyone knows that the giant mussel will open and close the carapace on the night of the full moon, but few can successfully pick the East Pearl, why? This kind of giant mussel is basically born in the deep water area, to dive into the deep water area to collect eggs, it has extremely high requirements for water, not to mention the deeper the dive, the greater the brain pressure, from the dive, to the discovery of the giant mussel with the East Pearl in the mouth, and then the idea of obtaining the East Pearl, this process has to be ten minutes, ten minutes, how many can hold it in one breath?

You may be asking, can you use diving equipment? I would say that modern tools are completely useless, this is an old craft. This giant clam has been born for too long, and he has a habit of feeling unsafe as long as there is an unknown stream of water or bubbles nearby, so he immediately closes his carapace, and you can't pry it even if you want to.

And the underwater performance of the world has reached such a good level, only the descendants of the water harvesting lineage, the Pu family! Their children are born with a strong lung capacity. Look at how destructive the teenage girl screamed last night, she has never practiced internal strength, she has never practiced lion's roar, purely relying on strong lung capacity!

"Ho...... It's really not open! Cheng Feng, will it die if it doesn't gasp? It's not delicious when you die, can you open it quickly? Poke it open with your knife! Hu Xiaoci kept muttering all the way, there was no lady image at all, and saliva flowed to his chest. Walk further around the reeds on the riverside, but you will arrive at Renze Village, the fishermen on the riverside must have gotten up earlier than the people in the city, and some of them have already started to walk this way with fishing nets on their backs.

It is also a small mountain village in the northeast, and there is also an old tree at the entrance of this small Tunzi village, and there are two white silk hanging on the old tree today. Before a few children carried the giant mussel into the village, they had already heard the movement of suona blowing from inside the village. Immediately afterwards, the funeral procession walked out of the tunzi.

Northeast people are very particular about doing white things, people are very superstitious in those years, walking in the forefront of the call "leader" The leader is generally a respected Taoist priest or monk nearby, while reciting the Sutra of the Past in his mouth, while throwing paper money and money into the sky, which means to guide the dead to forget everything in the world, and quietly walk on the Huangquan Road.

This funeral procession is somewhat special, the leader is not a Taoist priest or a monk, but a middle-aged man in a black robe, the man is thin, with wide ears and long eyes, a round face, and a bald head. As he walked, he threw paper money on top of his head, but he didn't read the Sutra of the Past in his mouth.

The leader was naturally followed by paper cows, paper horses, and boys and girls, and it seemed that it was a woman who died, because it was a paper cow, and the woman rode the bull and the man rode the horse. On the shoulders of the coffin bearers is a red coffin with a phoenix painted on it, and the most strange thing is that the coffin lid is covered with a fishing net, but the net is scarlet.

"There is something wrong with the body in the coffin, this fishing net is soaked in chicken blood to ward off evil spirits." Ma Chengfeng didn't wait to get closer, so he asserted.

According to the old saying, it is unlucky to go out in the morning to meet the funeral, and you can't go to the people, you must let the funeral procession go on both sides, and let the funeral procession pass first, otherwise it is easy to attract bad luck. Ma Chengfeng knew the customs of the Northeast people, and hurriedly asked everyone to get out of the way.

When the funeral procession passed by them, the leader who took the lead turned his head sideways and looked at Ma Chengfeng, his eyes were very sharp, and he kept staring at the giant clam he was holding in his arms, as if he had something in mind, but the auspicious time for the burial was coming, and he couldn't miss the hour, he looked at it twice, and hurriedly walked forward with the funeral procession.

The people at the end of the funeral procession are generally helping, carrying some excellent funeral products, and the bedding and pillows used by the deceased before his death, and what he wears. Ma Chengfeng saw that the old man walking behind looked kind, and hurriedly handed over the giant clam in his arms to Na Xiu, he ran up to stop the old man and asked, gentlemen, please ask, is there a family surnamed Pu in our Renze Village? We're here to visit relatives.

Although these fishermen are all Xian, they have to deal with those Han fishmongers all year round, so their Chinese proficiency is also good, and communication is at least no problem. The old man squinted at them, as if he were wary.

"Don't get me wrong, we're really here to visit relatives, you see, we've also brought gifts, oh...... I...... The Pu family is a distant relative of me, and if you count it up a few times, I still have to call him the second uncle. Ma Chengfeng lied without blinking his eyelids, this is the nature of a thief, how can a thief not step on the plate.

"Hmph...... Looking for the Park family? Is it really a relative? The old man said disdainfully in his other Chinese. If you really go to your relatives, how can you not recognize Park Laofu? Second uncle? His family is the only seedling of his! Hmph, let's go, let's go, Ren Zecun doesn't welcome Han people, especially you Jianghu people! The old man's eyesight was amazing, and he debunked their identities at a glance.

Ma Chengfeng followed closely and said Don't get me wrong, gentlemen, we are really not here to find trouble, we really have something important to ask for at home, and only the descendants of the Park family can help and save our lives in this matter! Hundreds of lives! Please!

The old man glanced at him and said: "Don't lie when you're young, it's okay for me to tell you, the leader who walks in front is Pu Laofu, it's just that even if you find him, it's useless, he won't agree to you, he has lived in our Renze Village for most of his life, and he has never taken a step!" ”

Ma Chengfeng suddenly realized, no wonder the eyes of the leader just now were like a knife, it turned out that he was Wu Gongyao's second son, it seems that the fierce little girl he met last night was his daughter, fortunately, the little girl has not come back yet, otherwise Zhun Bao would have to count them down in front of her father, and the iron should be struck while it is hot, and you can't wait!
