As the saying goes, when a woman heads the house, the house collapses. Although this statement is a bit biased, for Xing, it hits the mark!

If the child's mother hadn't stumbled over it last night, maybe those dozens of big tortoises would have been replaced by a thick stack of notes, and she could have given the child a housewife.

After listening to her words, we released all the tortoises that we finally got hold of; and Brother Fang also said that after alerting the tortoises, it would never be easy to catch them again, which made me even more upset...

.

So when I heard Brother Fang say that he still had another way of making money, which could help me solve my urgent need, I secretly vowed in my heart that I must seize the opportunity this time, otherwise it would be an opportunity that cannot be missed and will never come back, which will only increase my regrets and irritability.

And this time even if the child says the moon in the sky is square, I will never listen to her again.

I quickly asked Brother Fang, apart from those valuable tortoises, what else can be sold at a good price in this Panlongdang? And it must be an ownerless thing--no matter how many valuable things there are,

, Xing cannot steal or rob it, so it must be an ownerless thing!

Brother Fang laughed and said, those big tortoises are worth some money, but even if you catch dozens of them and add them up to one dollar, it is better for Fang to let Brother Xing do it tonight!

After hearing what he said, I was even more horrified. Because as fishermen, we all have a strong sense of balance in our hearts. Those dozens of bastards as big as washbasins are definitely not just small amounts of money; but Brother Fang actually said

What, the other way to make money he pointed out tonight, as long as I do it once, can be worth more than those dozens of round objects.

I secretly thought to myself, wondering what could be so valuable within this dozens of miles of Panlongdang?

Is there really a Dragon Palace under this Panlongdang? Does Brother Fang mean to let me go to the underwater Dragon Palace to steal treasures?

Seeing my expression of surprise and disbelief, Brother Fang said very calmly, Brother Xing, although we got to know each other relatively late and don't have much contact with each other, in the past few days, has Fang ever made any nonsense?

Have you ever deceived Brother Xing?

Not so! The first time he said that he could help me catch some big bastards, although it seemed very outrageous, the facts proved that he really had that ability, and he kept his promise and kept it true!

So I hurriedly said that Mr. Fang is absolutely convincing in his punctuality and trustworthiness. It’s just that Xing has a small vision and short knowledge. He really can’t figure out what else in this Panlongdang is more valuable than that piece of big tortoise!

When Brother Fang saw that I expressed my trust in him, he told me with a smile on his face that in fact, despite looking at Panlongdang, a land of water, there are really many priceless treasures down there! It’s just that most people don’t have that discerning ability.

.As for himself, he has been wandering around for many years and has learned some basic skills...

Of course I believed he had the ability. But I still asked him, what are we going to catch tonight?

Brother Fang told me that since Brother Xing can't take care of a living thing like a tortoise, I'll let you fetch a dead thing that won't move tonight!

A dead thing that doesn't move? Then is it worth anything? They say it's better to eat a fresh peach than a basket of rotten peaches. If it's not a living thing, no matter how big or good it is, it won't be worth the price!

Brother Fang said, although things like big pearls are not fresh, can they not be sold at a good price?

Big pearl? Of course it’s valuable! It’s just that kind of thing. I, Xing, am not in that business, so I’m afraid it’s not easy to get hold of it, right?

Brother Fang no longer continued the discussion with me, but urged me to row quickly. Naturally, I did not dare to neglect, and followed the direction he pointed, and still rowed towards the deep water area of ​​Panlongdang.

As I rowed forward, I was thinking about it in my mind. For things like pearls, you have to pay attention to size, shape and quality. If the individual is not big and the shape is not good, let alone a handful or even a pot, it will not be worth much.

of.

Because there are also specialized pearl divers in Panlongdang. They work hard all year round, and most of them only have enough food and clothing. There are indeed very few people who get rich overnight by collecting huge pearls. They just hear about it.

Haven't seen it with my own eyes.

I heard from pearl divers that most of the old clams that raise giant pearls are hidden deep in the water. And as they grow older, the old clams are also very spiritual and have a deep understanding of human nature. If someone discovers it,

, except for the treasure in his belly, it is very likely that he will not survive.

Therefore, those old clams live deep in the mud at the bottom of the water all year round and are generally extremely difficult to find. Most of the clams found by pearl divers are small and stubborn, so they are easy to catch.

For those small clams, the pearls in their shells are naturally too small and of insufficient color, and it is difficult for them to reach the standard of round pearls in shape.

And those very valuable, even priceless pearls, in addition to being large in size, must also be extremely round in shape, and their luster must be soft and bright...

It's just that big beads like that are extremely difficult to find even for people who specialize in pearl fishing, not to mention that I, Xing, know nothing about them...

Soon we entered the deep water area of ​​Panlongdang again. Since we didn’t encounter the legendary scary things last night, I felt more confident and bold this time.

When we were near a small island, Brother Fang asked me to stop the boat and dock. Then he pointed to the side of the boat and said, there is a pearl clam the size of a millstone hidden just below, which is not very deep.

There are many giant beads in its belly, but Brother Xing must not be greedy and just take one.

Diving is of course a piece of cake for me. But in the middle of the night, it must be pitch black under the water; even if I touch the old clam, I can't make it speak!

Brother Fang jumped to the shore next to the island first, touched a stone and handed it to me. Then he took out something from his arms, handed it to me and told me that among these layers of opaque oil paper and black cloth,

It is a thing that can shine.

If you take it and the stone and dive to the bottom of the water where I pointed, you will naturally touch a smooth round object the size of a millstone. Then you can unpack it, take out the pearl and shine it, and soon

It will open its mouth. You have to quickly block it with a stone to prevent it from closing. Then take out a pearl from it as quickly as possible and come up quickly!

As for the stone, you don't have to worry about it. It will spit it out later. Remember not to be greedy, just take one!

Because I had the experience of catching the bastard last night, I firmly believed what he said. So I took off my clothes, took a stone and the thing, and dived deep in the direction he pointed.

Although the bottom of the water was pitch black and relatively cold, my heart was filled with a burst of ecstasy. Because after I got to the bottom, I really touched a round thing the size of a millstone!

So I quickly unwrapped the layers, and a shining pearl suddenly appeared inside, shining brightly on the bottom of the water.

Xing held the pearl in his right hand and waited with the stone in his left hand. Maybe there was something strange about the pearl, and soon the old clam opened its thick shell!

When the clam shell opened, I saw pearls shining in front of me. It turned out that there were many pearls embedded in the clam meat in the belly of the old clam. Under the illumination of the pearls, there were little bits of brilliance...

I didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately took the stone with my left hand and propped it on the edge of the clam shell to prevent him from suddenly closing his mouth and trapping my right hand inside.

Then I stretched out my right hand quickly, pulled out a pearl from the soft and slippery clam meat, and quickly turned around and swam up!

When I got to the shore, I didn't bother to wipe off the water on my body. I first looked at the pearl I touched.

Brother Fang quickly asked me to take away his pearl, then took out things, wrapped them up layer by layer, and put them in his arms. Then he and I observed the pearl taken out from the old clam.

Under the moonlight, the pearl in my hand is the size of a pigeon egg, and is very round and smooth. Although it has not been cleaned yet, both of us know very well that it is definitely a very rare giant pearl!

Brother Fang smiled and asked, Brother Xing, if you convert this bead into money, it should be able to solve the current urgent need, right?

I nodded frequently and thanked you again and again!

When we parted that night, when I invited him again to have a drink tomorrow night, he said that something had happened recently and he had to go ashore to deal with it, so we couldn't get together for the time being. But we were destined to get together in the future...

Needless to say, the money Xing exchanged for that big pearl, apart from buying a housewife for his children, still left quite a bit of money left over!

But for more than a month, I went to the old place to wait for him, wanting to express my gratitude, but I never saw him. This made Xing very uneasy!

…………

After hearing Xing Sihai talk about this, several of us felt very strange.

"Brother Xing, if this is the situation you mentioned, the man named Fang is really kind-hearted and has helped you a lot. He is very kind to you!" said Boss Liu.

"Yes, since then Xing has been looking for opportunities to thank him, at least say some words of thanks to make himself feel better! But for more than half a year, Xing could not find him!" Xing Sihai

Said, "If it hadn't been for the incident about the beautiful lady from the foreign country with the glass lamp some time ago, Xing would really have always regarded him as a benefactor!"

"Oh, I guess that guy must have set up a trap on purpose. After gaining Brother Xing's trust in advance, he drank and chatted at your house and took the opportunity to steal the French beauty's glass cup!" said Platoon Leader Huo.

"Hey, actually, that person surnamed Fang has never been to the humble house to drink a bowl of water, let alone come up to drink and chat!" Xing Sihai said dejectedly.

"That's strange! So I've always shown kindness without asking for repayment. I didn't even drink a bowl of wine from your house. How can I still be sorry for you? How could Brother Xing still talk about losing the beauty Liuli Zhan?

Is it related to someone else?" Brother Li said, "Catch a cheater and a couple, catch a thief and see the stolen goods. You can't just rely on guesswork for this kind of thing!"

"Of course Xing understands this truth, and it is definitely not a random guess!" Xing Sihai said, "The foreign beauty's glazed lamp was lost in the hands of his surname Fang!"

"This? Isn't this too bizarre?" Platoon Leader Huo said, "Well, I think it's better to ask Brother Xing to tell us the details of how the beauty's glass lamp was lost, so as to avoid us being confused."

"Okay then!" Xing Sihai scratched his hair and then said:

Ever since I sold the big pearl, I used the money I got to buy my son a housewife. I also used the remaining money to build a new fishing boat and buy some other random things. As time went by, there wasn't much left.

And when I spent all the money, the nightmare officially began. At first, I always dreamed of some ghostly things asking me to return the big pearl. If I couldn't return it, I would have to use our whole family's money.

Life in exchange.

Later, Xing's whole family began to be disturbed. Some ghosts were asking for the big pearl from us, and they beat me so hard that I still felt a lot of pain when I woke up!

In addition, when Mr.

As if something was holding me up, I kept rowing straight towards the deep water.

At that time, I regretted not listening to my child’s mother’s persuasion. It turned out that there is no such thing as pie in the sky in this world. It looked like a bargain, but in fact it was a big loss!

As for the bitter wine I brewed and drank by myself, it would be better for me to bear it alone. Even if it cost me my life, Xing would not hesitate. After all, I really don’t have the money to redeem the big pearl and return it to it---

---What's more, even if you have money and don't know the name of the person who bought the pearl or where he lives, you still have no way to return it to Zhao intact!

To say that it was my fault that caused the whole family to suffer, of course Xing was unwilling to do so. Later, I went to see some semi-immortal masters and they all said that it was due to old grudges and debts, and there was really no other way except to pay off the debts.

resolve the matter.

Seeing that those ghosts were urging me more and more urgently, Xing and I were extremely anxious and desperate. Even though I was extremely anxious, there was nothing I could do.

Just when I was regretting my mistakes and feeling extremely depressed, I happened to meet that man named Fang.
