The Book of Appreciation

Wu Di felt cold for no reason, and Chang Xue's tone was too penetrating!

"Someone saw it? Is it really a ghost stealing pearls?"

In the past, he would not believe these things even if he was killed, but now that he has seen a lot, it may be a bit mysterious to say that he believes it, but there is definitely some doubts.

"If she can see this, is she still called a ghost? Now she can't see anything, but she keeps throwing pearls every day! You say it's not haunted, what is she doing?"

"Is it a house thief? A particle as small as a pearl..."

Chang Xue slapped his head, with an annoyed expression on his face,

"Blame me, blame me for not making it clear. Fifth brother, the pearls thrown here are not harvested, and it's not yet the harvest time. The ones thrown away are in the water! The original boss kept a lot of pearls that haven't matured yet, and they are considered pearls." mine!"

"In the water? You mean you lost the pearl while it was still in the water? She stole the pearl oyster?"

"Fifth Brother, have you ever seen how to grow pearls?"

"I've seen it before. There are rows of ropes in the water, and a bag is hung under the rope, and the clams are in the bag."

"That's the method of raising freshwater pearls, but seawater pearls are similar. They use cages and then use wooden stakes to locate them. This time when we throw pearls, we really only throw pearls. The pearl-bearing mussels are still there, but the top will be drilled. There is a round hole as thick as a little finger, and there will be no pearls left in any pearl-bearing oyster like this!"

"Steal the pearls by making a hole? Isn't that right? Even if the pearl sac is torn, it will be troublesome to get out from that small hole, okay?"

Chang Xue sighed, and continued:

"After discovering this incident by accident, I started to check the cages irregularly. A month ago, I suddenly found that the proportion was rising sharply. As of today, I estimate that more than half of the cages have this phenomenon!"

"Is it some underwater creature?"

"I haven't heard of any underwater creatures that dig holes to eat pearls? It turned out that the boss surrounded two fish around the farm. I asked the frogman to go down to check, and there was no problem. Later, I threw more than a dozen underwater cameras down. , I didn’t take a picture of anything, but the pearl should be thrown away! I’m dying of anxiety, but you’ve been there all the time..."

Wu Di lit a cigarette and blew a smoke ring,

"But even if you tell me, there's nothing I can do?"

"I know you may not have a solution. Isn't this the only two shareholders in the company? I won't discuss it with you, who will I discuss it with? I still keep it from my family!"

Regarding seawater pearls, there has always been a saying that "the West Pearl is not as good as the East Pearl, and the East Pearl is not as good as the South Pearl." Hepu, Guangxi Province is the famous hometown of Nanzhu. ".

Chang Xue's breeding farm is on the coastline of Hepu West Field. The water is deep and pollution-free. The pearls produced are dignified and firm, large and round, crystal clear and durable. It is also one of the few breeding farms on the entire Hepu coastline.If it wasn't for this weird thing, even if Chang Xue paid three times the price, he might not be able to get it.

"Cheap is not good, you know this time?"

Chang Xue laughed and said nothing, Wu Di was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered the price he paid for Blue Dream, and immediately understood,

"Did your boy fall into a pit dug by others?"

"Fifth brother, you can't say that. Although the introducer and the owner have gone abroad to find it, but everyone here knows that that guy was often stolen when he was raising him!"

"The boiled duck has a tough mouth! You didn't investigate before you bought it? Why didn't anyone tell you? Let me tell you, let's go back this time, and you honestly tell the adults at home what happened, and see if you can find out who was there. Plot against you, otherwise, even if this matter is resolved, other things will happen to him!"

Chang Xue nodded awkwardly.

Wu Di walked barefoot on the solid sandy beach. Almost all of the endless coastlines in this area were boxes of cultured pearls, and the furthest ones could even go several kilometers deep into the sea!

"I'm not afraid of being dragged away by a big fish at such a distance!"

"That area is a submarine slope, the sea is relatively shallow, and people can walk two kilometers in when the tide is low. Fifth brother, you have seen the ones that were fished up a few days ago, why don't we go into the water and fish two cages for you to take a look? "

Wu Di nodded, and returned to a small wooden pier with Chang Xue about ten meters into the water, and boarded a machine barge.

Worker Ah Hai parked the boat, first fished out a video camera from the water, changed the strap and put it down again.

"There is a video camera in this area, but pearls are still being stolen. Come on, bring that cage up to have a look."

Ahhai brought up a wire cage, in which were scattered more than a dozen brooding pearl clams.He reached in and rummaged for a while, shook his head, put the cage into the water again, and pulled up the next cage.

In the third cage, Ah Hai picked out two pearl-growing mussels and handed them to Chang Xue.Wu Di saw that it was the same as what he saw in the office just now, there was a hole in the clam shell as thick as a little finger, and he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

"Ah Hai is not afraid of ghosts. Except for him and a few boys who are brave, I can't find anyone who dares to go into the sea in my farm. The surrounding farms are rumored to be amazing, saying that someone saw it someday. A water ghost with long hair and shawl has captured someone or something, and now my farm is sparsely populated, what should I do, fifth brother?"

Although he saw a few mysterious and magical things in the past six months, after seeing the scene, Wu Di still didn't think that there was something unexplainable by science. It was probably a creature in the sea.

Wu Di followed up with a bunch of questions, and learned that the seawater and pearls should not be much different from other farms. However, a situation provided by Ah Hai made him think that the problem might lie in this.Compared with before the accident, the number of pink or pink pearls produced in this farm is now much less!

"Among other pearls, are there many of these two colors?"

"I don't know, but Grandpa must know that he is the biggest pearl collector in the town!"

"Is there a range of stolen pearls, or is it the entire sea field?"

"Well, I didn't pay attention to it deliberately, but I think this one seems to be lost more, and that one."

Wu Di's eyes followed Chang Xue's fingers and looked towards the sea water on the right.The water is very clear and transparent, and the sunlight can penetrate about one meter.But the water depth in these two places has reached 15 meters, and those pearl cages are suspended in the water, swaying with the undercurrent of the seabed.

Wu Di's clairvoyant eyes patrolled the sea for a while. Even if the person who stole the pearls was an animal, the chance of encountering them was too small. If that guy likes to steal pink or peach-colored pearls as he guessed, there would be someone You can try the stupid way.But this will not be known until I ask Grandpa in the town.

After coming out from Grandpa, Wu Di also scratched his head. The pearls of these two colors in other houses are not smaller than their original ones. Why?However, there used to be so many, but now there are obviously fewer, so there is a problem!There is no good way now, just use this trick to wait for the rabbit, and see if the blind cat can meet the dead mouse!

Wu Di's method is to use his clairvoyant eyes to find a place where the pink pearls are denser, and then stare at that piece, and wait a few days to see if there is any abnormality.Of course, you can’t tell Chang Xue about this method. Wu Di explained to him that he has a strange spiritual sense, which is what he relies on in appraising treasures and gambling stones, so he plans to stay at sea for two days to see if he can find any clues.

Brother Wu wants to stay alone at sea for two days?What a joke!If this was accidentally swallowed by a female ghost, would Chang Xue still live?It would be easy if he swallowed it in one gulp, at most he would spend his life with him, but if the female ghost sucked up all the yang essence, he would be guilty of a serious crime if he didn't lift his penis in the future!

"Fifth brother, no, the sea is too dangerous..."

"It's not dangerous or not. As long as there are no large fish, what are you afraid of on the boat? You can go to other things and let Ah Hai accompany me."

To put it bluntly, Chang Xue firmly disagreed. Later, Wu Di agreed that he would just stay on board during the day and go back when the tide ebbed, and that he could accompany him by the side, so Chang Xue reluctantly agreed.

The three of them went back to pack up some food and drink, and returned to the sea area just now.

"Boss, mussels don't eat feed, they only eat microorganisms in the sea, so the less pollution the seawater has, the better the quality of the pearls will be. Our sea ranks first in the entire Gui Province!"

"How many years do pearls usually grow before they can be harvested?"

"From the perspective of pearl-cultured mussels, the general culture cycle is 2-3 years. Pearls grow the fastest in the second to third years, and the growth rate decreases after the fourth year. Pearl-cultured mussels also gradually weaken and die easily. The pearls that have been cultured for 2-3 years are large, round and lustrous. Although the pearls that have been cultivated for more than three years have large particles, their luster is not good and the quality is not high. It seems that the placenta has aged, and the little one who is not willing to be born will It's like being cut out."

Chang Xue has already broken the pot, so he is still in the mood to say some witty words.

It will be very fun to play on the sea on a cruise ship, but I don’t know how many people have tried to bask in the sun on a small barge.That feeling, if it wasn't for Chang Xue who was really afraid of water ghosts in the water, he would have jumped into the sea with Wu Di and Ah Hai long ago!

While hiding his head in the shadow of the hull, Wu Di gazed at the sea surface not far away from time to time. In the cages hanging on the positioning stakes, there were at least six pearl-growing clams with pink or pink pearls. The presence.

While staring in a daze, he suddenly felt itchy on his feet, looked down, and saw a group of small fish kissing his toes, couldn't help but smiled, and put his feet back up.

Hey, is it over yet?Why are you chasing and biting?Wu Di looked down again, but this time it was not a school of small fish, but a half-foot-long, black, fat, loach-like strange fish. Its mouth was long and pointed, like a finger. It is wagging its long beak hard and scratching Wu Di's feet, having a great time playing! (To be continued.)
