Chapter 16: Pearls hidden by old mussels

This Zongzi is very difficult to deal with. Although he is not as nimble as the old liar, he is extremely strong and jumps fiercely and fiercely. His sharp claws are also very tough. If he is injured by his claws or teeth, the person will be

It was dangerous. The corpse poison would quickly invade the entire body from the wound. Soon the person would lose consciousness and another zombie would be born. Therefore, the old liar did not dare to attack rashly. Zuo dodged. The Taomu Sword was not long, so he could only look for opportunities.

Attack when you get close to Old Zongzi's body.

At this time, the old Zongzi bared his zombie teeth and let out a roar, his body rose into the air, and his hands went straight to the old liar's neck. The old liar saw something bad, and even if he stabbed him forward, he would be knocked down anyway.

Seeing his cat lowered its body and pounced forward, it rolled on the spot and escaped unharmed.

Look at the rice dumpling that failed to pounce on the old liar. Due to its inertia, it hit the bridge railing, and then was bounced away like an electric shock, with sparks flying everywhere.

I was about to be happy, but when I saw something wrong, the old rice dumpling was bounced off by the ink line on the bridge railing, but the direction he flew was towards the old liar. Before the old liar could get up from the ground, he was hit hard by the rice dumpling.

After hitting the bridge, he fainted without even letting out a scream.

I panicked and quickly ran over to pick up the peach wood sword on the ground. As soon as I picked up the old Zongzi, he rushed towards me. (Because Zongzi is only interested in moving and breathing prey, the old liar is safe after fainting.)

I was panicking. Seeing that the old rice dumpling was about to strangle my neck, I closed my eyes and started fighting. So I swung my sword and slashed at me. While slashing, I shouted loudly, "I'll chop you to death, I'll chop you to death."

Hack you to death..."

Unexpectedly, my frenzied chopping really worked. Old Zongzi was electrocuted repeatedly, sparks crackled, and he jumped back a few steps in fright. When I looked, there was a railing not far behind him, and I was heartbroken.

He wanted to chase him and let Mo Xian shock him again.

The old rice dumpling really forced me to the bridge railing. The bridge railing lit up like a piece of electricity. The old rice dumpling flew away with a bang. No, the old rice dumpling hit me again. I

I didn’t want to be knocked unconscious, so I hurriedly hid aside, but I suddenly felt that the soles of my feet were hanging in the air, and my body fell downwards. It turned out that I fell from the bridge. (This is not surprising, this bridge has been broken down since the year before last.

There was a hole in it, and no one cared about it. The bike could have fallen off, not to mention my small body.)

I just realized in my heart that I was about to fall onto the water, but my back suddenly softened and I stopped falling. I felt a gust of wind carrying me, and I was back on the bridge with a whoosh. At the same time, I heard

There was a splash in the river, and the water splashed onto the bridge. I looked back in horror, and saw a puff of yellow smoke running away in an instant, and there was nothing behind me.

Looking further under the bridge, the old rice dumpling plopped in the river like a drowned dog, unable to jump up.

I quickly shook the old liar awake. As soon as the old liar opened his eyes, he stood up and prepared to fight. I pointed at the river and told him to look quickly.

It turns out that this old rice dumpling is naturally afraid of water and loses its power when it enters the water. We sat on the bridge and watched him tossing and turning until he floated to the surface motionless.

The old liar lit a fire by the river and burned the body, saying that he could be buried in peace.

There are no houses on the left and right of this brigade headquarters, and there is a cemetery behind it. The terrain is low-lying, and the moisture cannot escape all year round, so it is easy for rice dumplings to grow.

The old liar had long discovered that there was a lot of evil here. He helped his family a few days ago and didn't go home until very late. When he passed by here, he always felt a chill on his back. He vaguely felt that something was following him, so he quietly opened the door.

He opened his eyes, but saw nothing. He only saw a mist in the cemetery behind the brigade headquarters, and he became suspicious. In addition, after summoning Li Xiang's soul a few years ago, he was sure that there must be something evil in this place.

.

In the past few nights, he came over to check when it was dark, and found nothing for several days. He didn't expect to encounter a zongzi today.

I looked at the fire and was in shock. I told him what happened after he fainted. Someone saved you? We were both confused. However, after a moment we both seemed to understand. Could it be him?

Yes, the old liar and I both suspected that the little yellow dog saved me in the past, but I still don't understand how old it is.

The old liar said that the little yellow man was at least older than him, and that their cultivation of Taoism did not solely depend on time. It was also possible for those with high understanding to achieve Taoism in one day.

After cleaning up the mess, the old liar and I were about to go home. I suddenly remembered that there was a mute. When I looked back, the mute was still upright, sitting there with his back to us, waiting for the movie.

Damn, I don’t have the ability to appreciate it anymore. Is there any movie that can match the scene we just played?

Elementary school life is over in a blink of an eye. As soon as this summer vacation is over, I will be a middle school student.

Xiaoyong and others said that in junior high school, they have a lot of homework and have evening self-study, so they may not have much time to play, so they might as well take advantage of this summer vacation to have fun!

So, we did all kinds of evil that summer vacation.

That day, five or six of us were going to dig lotus roots to eat. We took shovels and spatulas with us and headed straight to the lotus root fields.

To the west of our village, there is a large lotus root field. Every household has a share, separated by field ridges, one by one.

This season, the lotus roots are about to go on the market, so the water supply has long been stopped in the lotus root fields. The lotus leaves are a little withered and yellow, but you can still find mature lotus pods inside. If you peel open the lotus pods, you will find the sweet and delicious lotus seeds the size of peanuts.

When we came here, we had already agreed not to poach from our own house, but hey, we would steal from the third aunt's house.

Each of us has an upside-down lotus leaf on our head, which not only protects from the sun, but also serves as a concealment. The cat crouched in the lotus root field, and the ground was quite dry. When we stepped on it with our bare feet, it didn’t stick to our feet at all and was soft.

Soft and cool feeling.

The third aunt's house is in the center of the lotus root field. Once you dig in, it is so hidden that anyone who doesn't scream will never be discovered.

So the few of us distanced ourselves, and we couldn't get too close to each other while digging lotus roots. This was a strict rule.

Because maybe the two of you dug it out from under two lotus leaves, but as you dug, you found that they were connected to the same big lotus root. In order to avoid a fight, we all kept a certain distance apart. But we couldn’t be too far apart.

, otherwise they cannot notify each other if they are discovered.

Don’t you think about stealing someone’s things? If you don’t do a good job in security, then why don’t you want to get away with it under the eyes of the third aunt?

I squatted down, found a lotus leaf at random, and started digging. I dug out the soil along the roots. After a while, a small piece of lotus root was revealed. This lotus root grows underground like a maze. You have to keep following it.

When the lotus root is found, pull it out gently, so that it is complete. If the lotus root is broken, mud and water will enter it. Adults say that only whole lotus roots can be sold at a good price.

Unexpectedly, under the lotus leaf I chose, there was actually a large white lotus root, which was thicker than my arm. There are several varieties of lotus roots, some of which are thin, sticky, and unpalatable. The white lotus root is juicy and delicious, and is considered the best.

I carefully dug out the soil next to it, trying not to break it. After chasing it, it was more than half a meter long, but the lotus root was still not fully exposed. I felt so beautiful. It would be better if I dug it all out.

What a big one!

Just as I continued to chase, I shoveled a stone. This big stone blocked my way. If I wanted to continue chasing the lotus roots, I had to get rid of it first. I muttered: Third Aunt

You miser! Even your lotus roots are guarded by big rocks.

When I finally managed to pick up the big stone with great effort, I was shocked. Why was it a big crooked clam?

This old guy was as big as a pot lid. Maybe it was lying in the lotus root field because the water had dried up. It was really big, so it was not a waste of effort. I asked my mother to fry it for me at noon.

Thinking about it, I used a spatula to pry it. The big crooked pot was so big that it took a lot of effort to pry it open. I tried to put my hand in and pinched the two sides hard, and it cracked with a "snap" sound.

opened.

However, my hand also hurt. My index finger was scratched by the edge of a river mussel. Blood was dripping down my finger. Because I was so excited at the time, I shook my hand and didn't pay attention at all. I just looked into the big crooked shell.

.

Wow, that’s a lot of meat, I guess it can fry a big bowl. Huh? There was a round earthen ball inside the clam meat. My eyes lit up, it couldn’t be a pearl, right? When Ermao’s father was fishing,

I once caught river mussels with pearls inside, but the pearls were as small as beans and not round in shape, so they were not worth anything.

Mine is as big as a ping pong ball. If it were a pearl, wouldn’t it make me rich? Hey, good!

I quickly pinched out the bead, my heart was pounding, and I didn't say anything (I am more discerning). I rubbed it and saw that it was sparkling, but it was not a pearl at all. It was as transparent as water.

I held it in my hand and looked at the sun, and I could see the sun. I was immediately disappointed and thought it was a big glass marble played by children.

But before I put my hand down, I saw a drop of blood hanging on my index finger. It seeped into the glass beads and gathered into a round red dot, right in the center. Huh? I read that right.

Bar?

I rubbed my eyes, which were stung by the sun. Just when I was about to open my eyes, I heard a loud "click" above my head, as if the sky was falling, which scared the rest of us into screaming in the lotus root field.

Before we could react, big raindrops crackled on the lotus leaves, and dark clouds rolled in the sky.

In the summer here, it is normal for wind and rain to occur. However, the rain came so quickly today. We didn’t have time to run home, so we had to hide in places with dense lotus leaves. These lotus roots

The leaves are like small umbrellas, and they won't even get us wet for a while.

Afraid that some of them would see it, I had already stuffed the bead into my pocket. They all said to me: Are you digging lotus roots or crooked divination? Why is there such a big crooked divination? Check to see if there are any pearls inside?

As he said this, he snatched it away, did you look at it? Thanks to my foresight.

I don’t know what this bead is. It’s pretty good-looking, but I still can’t figure out how my drop of blood could flow into it?

At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, there was lightning and thunder, and the sky seemed to be torn open. We were so wet that we were huddled together and trembling like a few drowned rats.

The sky was getting darker and darker, as if it suddenly jumped from day to night. At first we thought it was funny and could laugh, but in the end everyone was crying...

We held our heads in our hands and couldn't open our eyes. In this wilderness of heavy rain and confusion, every sound of thunder and lightning frightened us, as if we had been abandoned, without any sense of security, and the world was desolate.

The rain kept falling, and we no longer had the intention to dig lotus roots. We picked up our things and groped our way home. Our bare feet were extremely slippery when we ran, and we stumbled all the way, like a group of mud monkeys. Especially Xiaorui, whose hands were

Holding his head and jumping up and down.

But strangely enough, the further we ran home, the lighter the rain became, and it stopped raining when we got home.

I went home, took out the bead and washed it with water. I looked carefully and saw that it was crystal clear and the drop of blood was still inside, and it didn't move no matter how it swayed. It was really magical.

I didn't tell my parents. They didn't believe these weird things at all, and they always scolded me to stop breaking them open and take a look. What a pity!

I just told my mother to fry the big crawfish for me to eat. I didn’t throw it away even though it was raining so heavily, but I was exhausted.

Later I showed the beads to the old liar and told him that the drop in the middle was my blood. He was stunned for a moment, but he still believed me, because he was as talkative as I was, and everyone in the village knew this.

The old liar took it to look at it for several days and always said that there seemed to be something fishy about the bead, but he couldn't tell.

Finally, I got tired of it and said, "Stop studying you! Help me drill an eye. I'm going to put a red thread through it and put it on my wrist."

The old liar seemed to be distressed and greedy. I ignored him. Why do you, an old man, want such beautiful beads?

I gave this bead a shiny name called "Shining Shining".

It's strange to say that from then on, whenever I go out for a long trip, it will be stormy unless I don't wear glitter.
