Chang Xiaoman said that this group of horses, passing by the water's edge, must have encountered underwater dangers, and the people under the water ...... Or the big fish dragged them down at such speed that they didn't have time to shoot.

"Oh my God, how fast is that? So many of them? You see, there isn't even a single bullet on the shore!! A crowd of 30 people, when in danger, did not fight back, but fled and abandoned their companions? I'm afraid it's not that simple. Ma Chengfeng sighed.

This group of people is obviously not a rabble, they have no ability at all, and Tong Sixi will not 'spend' a lot of money to hire him to protect him. The composition of such an expedition is very complex, with special 'gates' responsible for security, and possibly geologists, historians, and even astronomers...... How much money does Tong Sixi have? Kuanchengzi and every district were all invested and developed by him. Those so-called experts are not sages, even if they are the bodhisattvas and Buddhas in the temple, don't they also have to receive incense? Therefore, experts don't necessarily only work for the public above, as long as someone is willing to pay, even if he is an archaeologist, he is willing to call the tomb robber Dad, which is not impossible.

Tong Sixi's trip to Xing'anling must have been fully prepared in advance, and almost all of the people who protected him were retired special combat soldiers. These well-trained thugs don't even have the courage to fight back in the face of an underwater monster attack? There are obviously other articles here.

The noon sun is extremely dazzling, and the 'waves' on the water surface shine on people's eyes, so that only Venus appears in people's eyes.

The sharp eyes, he squinted, and faintly saw that there seemed to be a little light under the river, and the light flickered like the stars in the sky last night, flickering and moving.

"Look...... Look underwater! Something seems to be there? Na ran to the river and pointed to the surface of the water and shouted.

"That brother, be careful, beware of being dragged down by the beautiful 'female' water monster looking for people underwater**Oh, haha......" Ma Chengfeng said with a smile.

Ma Chengfeng doesn't believe that there are evil fish underwater, mainly because Na Xiu has high skills and peerless light skills, even if there is a bad fish 'exposed' under the water, Na Xiu can avoid it in time.

Na Xiu took a closer look and said that there seemed to be an old clam swallowing pearls under the water.

This sentence belongs to the term of the rivers and lakes, in the early years, if the people on the river and the sea found that there were pearls under the waters, they must not point here and say "there are pearls below", and the craftsmen who collected water also had taboos, and they could not replace the word pearl, just like the ginseng pickers in the mountains. Therefore, pearls are called "eggs", and swallowing eggs refers to the pearls in the shells of old mussels.

As soon as these words came out, everyone gathered around, and their eyes were as if they had beaten the blood of a 'chicken'.

The east pearl in this wild water is a good thing, and the pearl necklaces we see on the market now are all taken from artificially cultivated small mussels. The brightness and luster of the beads themselves are not as good as the wild ones, and the wild beads will be larger, it is no exaggeration to say that if the ordinary pearls are 10 yuan, the wild is 100, if you pick the best goods 'color', I am afraid the value will be higher, as for how high, it depends on the size and gloss of the beads.

In the past, in the Qing Dynasty, few of these Tan people on the water's edge died well, and most of them died in the mouths of the old mussels underwater, but there were also those who soared. The largest one is the one that was presented to the emperor by the Tan Min Jin in the pine 'flower' river during the Qianlong period, which is said to be like a pigeon's egg, and it will glow in the moonlight. Later, Emperor Qianlong returned to the Western Regions to Concubine Xiang, and gave her this pigeon-egg-sized East Pearl.

This Dongzhu made the Tan people get a heavy reward, how much did the emperor reward? One hundred taels of gold! Moreover, this is not the full value of Nadongzhu. Therefore, the people who lived on the waterside in the north in the past dynasties wanted to soar, and the fastest thing was to collect eggs.

Everyone watched the light shining under the water, and the light point was still dazzling from a depth of four or five meters. Immediately forgetting the purpose of the trip, they were about to jump into the water with their arms and sleeves, but when they reached the water's edge, they stood on one foot in the middle of the icy river and began to mumble. Northeast people don't know the 'sex' of water, regardless of whether they are masters of the rivers and lakes, they are all landlubbers, throw them into the water, at most they hold their breath, where they can swim, and when they run out of breath, it is estimated that they will have to sink to the bottom, let alone go into the water to collect eggs!

"Brother, don't go! It can't be that the old mussel in the water is swallowing eggs, if it is so easy for us to meet, do you think the hunters in Xing'anling will still hunt? Ma Ya's words woke up the dreamers, and pulled them back from their fantasies to reality.

She said: "Although I am not a descendant of the water harvester, I also know a truth, the mussels in the water will only open the mussel shell underwater to absorb the 'essence' of the sun and the moon when the moon is full, and the stronger the moon's qi, the higher the luster of the beads in the body." It is neither a full moon nor a moon, and the fiery red sun is almost scorching, and even if there are old mussels underwater, they will not open their hard shells. โ€

As he was talking, there was a commotion on the water...... A white 'flower' and 'flower' corpse floated up again, and the dead appearance was almost exactly the same as the previous one.

"You saw that, right? Maybe Tong Sixi's people thought it was because they saw the brilliance under the water, and they thought that the old mussel was swallowing pearls, so they took the risk of jumping into the water to catch it, and they would die underwater. If it is really the old mussel in the water that hurts people, it must be a broken arm and a broken 'leg', but look at them, all the tendons and tendons of the hands and feet have been broken, do you two also want to follow in the footsteps? "Ma Ya is young, and she is a child in the mountains, and children in the mountains are born with a simple nature, so they are not greedy for money.

"I think Sister Tiantian is right, the purpose of our trip is to find the legendary ghost Ya 'door', but we are not here to collect eggs, even if there is really an old clam spitting eggs, with our water 'sex' may not be able to get it, let's hurry through this dangerous water." Chang Xiaoman dragged Ma Chengfeng to the shore again.

This is by no means Ma Chengfeng and that 'sexual' greed, the old people used to say that the light of the Dongzhu in the underwater old mussel can 'fascination' people's minds, it is actually deliberately luring you to pick eggs, and when you dive into the deep water, it will open the mussel shell to 'reveal' the shiny and moist Dongzhu for you to reach in, but when you put your hand in...... The giant clam immediately closes its shell and clips off your arm.

Most of the people who collect water are so dead, and the experienced people will never collect eggs in the water, but use wire ropes to lift the almost tonnage giant mussels to the surface of the water, use crowbars and sharp knives to pry open the shells of the mussels, and use rough and simple methods to take the pearls.
