Plain girl fairy

Chapter 20 The first time to go to the sea to pick pearls

"Hmph, don't lie to me, my second sister won't feel tired if I carry this weight on my back, and although my foot is injured, it doesn't affect my swimming and diving at all, my practice of holding breath is comparable to Hello." Yang Xiuzhu argued.

"Okay, okay, I know you practice well, so why don't you let the eldest sister and the third sister go into the water first?" Yang Xiuzhu began to beg again.

Xie Yuxin has always been a soft-hearted person, seeing Yang Xiuzhu like this, she had no choice but to turn her head to look at Mo Xue and said, "Second Sister, what do you think?"

Mo Xue shrugged, in her eyes, going to the sea later is the same as going to the sea earlier, but seeing Yang Xiuzhu's gaze, she blinked and said, "Well, I'm really not tired at all, so I think it's better to let... the eldest sister and the third sister go to sea first."

"Second Sister, you are too naughty. You have to finish your sentence in one sentence." Yang Xiuzhu cast her a reproachful look, and called Tang Wanying. The two made a pile on the bank, took off their coats, and The rope was tied around the waist, and then the other end of the rope was tied to the stake. They took out the small cloth bag specially used for beads from the big pannier, tied it around their waist, and were ready to go into the sea.

After they went to the sea, Mo Xue and the others found some wooden blocks on the mountain and built a small pergola by the sea, and then they practiced while waiting for the two to return.

On the way, Yang Xiuzhu waited boringly by herself, and went into the sea with a thud, leaving Mo Xue sitting on the shore alone to prevent any accidents.

Apprentice shark girls and official shark girls don't need this kind of safety string, and they don't need guards. Most of them go alone, and when they reach the shore, they pick up the things they don't need, and then they are like a real fish. It's the same, it's uncomfortable to dive alone, but unfortunately, Mo Xue and the others don't have this ability yet.

They have to pass this test, pass the test, and then go through a three-year training period before they can go to sea alone.

The girls all went to the sea, and Mo Xue was alone on the shore. She was a little dirty and wanted to wash in the sea, but she thought that no one was watching, and if something happened, she held back her temper and practiced. Let's start with "Chaos Su Nujue".

The rocks pierced through the air, the stormy waves crashed on the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up.The magnificent sea in front of me is no longer as narrow as the small village or the small jade hall in the past.Looking at the blue sky, white clouds and blue sea, Mo Xue also felt that her heart suddenly became brighter. Unknowingly, she went up another small step, and her skills broke through to the fifth floor.

Mo Xue breathed out a turbid breath and relaxed. At this moment, there was a change in the rope. It turned out that Tang Wanying, who was the first to go into the sea, returned. At this time, she had a smile on her face, and she couldn't help being excited.She took out a pearl and showed it to Mo Xue. Under the sunlight, the pearl shone dazzlingly, which was very beautiful.

As her memory is getting better and better, Mo Xue is now an encyclopedia in the team. She compared the records in her mind and judged that this pearl belongs to the middle grade and can be worth ten taels of silver. Tang Wanying was even more excited when she heard this number. , she said to Mo Xue: "As expected, I also remember that it seems to be worth the price, but after asking you, I feel more at ease in my heart."

She carefully put the pearl in a small wooden box in the back basket. For such more expensive things, they store them in a special small wooden box. The wooden box contains cotton, which is also to avoid collisions and affect the The value of pearls.

After putting it away, she said to Mo Xue: "Okay, Second Sister, I'm here to watch, you go to pick pearls, I believe you must be impatient."

Mo Xue nodded, took off her coat, tied the rope and went down into the sea.

The sea water was cool, and Mo Xue took a sip and immediately vomited it out, bah, it was so salty.She used the 'Holding Art' to dive slowly, and the feeling of going down into the sea was really good.

This is the first time Mo Xue has seen the sea, and it is also the first time she has gone to the sea to fish for pearls, but unfortunately, this is not a good start, because this time she was unlucky again, and after searching for a long time, she found nothing. turn up.So she slowly dived into the deepest and farthest sea, so she finally saw some things like coral reefs on the bottom of the sea.

what is that?The sun shines down on the deep bottom of the sea. Mo Xue has good eyesight. She suddenly saw a large open shell lying on the coral reef basking in the sun. She rubbed her eyes to make sure she saw it right. Pearl, the sun shines on the big pearl, glowing with wandering and gorgeous light.

Mo Xue swam over, but the thread was not long enough, so she simply let go of the thread on her body, it didn't matter anyway, it was just an insurance policy.After one dive, Mo Xue finally reached the big shell. Feeling someone approaching, the shell closed slowly. The moment she got the pearl, the shell just closed.

Even if you still have some foresight, Mo Xue thought in her heart, if the shell is closed before she picks out the pearls, then she will definitely take this shell back, and when the time comes to knock her open, it will definitely die.

Carefully putting the pearls in her pocket, Mo Xue breathed a sigh of relief, this pearl is not difficult to pick, and she and her elder sister picked it up easily.And according to my own judgment, my pearl is probably worth 20 taels or more.

At this time, Mo Xue didn't know yet, because they were just little shark girls, and they were only for internship assessment, so the tasks assigned to them by Zhuyutang were relatively simple. If they were apprentice shark girls or formal shark girls, they had to get more There are more pearls, and in order to collect more pearls, they also need to go to farther and more dangerous sea areas.

The place where Mo Xue was staying at the moment was already considered a deep sea, but she didn't realize it, because she had practiced "Chaos Element Girl Art", so she held her breath for a much longer time than ordinary Xiaoyu girls. In addition, she has just broken through the first level, so she can actually reach the standard of a formal shark girl now. This is because she only has exercises and does not cooperate with the law. Of course, she still doesn't know all this now. She Thought she had a lucky moment.

She ran to the deep sea alone, fishing for pearls. The weather was hot, and she felt extremely relaxed and cool in the sea.So, at this moment, she is like a child who likes to play with water, and she is completely reluctant to go back to the shore, but she doesn't know that the people on the shore are worried because of her.

It turned out that even if Tang Wanying and the others were reluctant to go ashore, they would change their heads to change the water, and Tang Wanying didn't see Mo Xue's appearance at all on the shore. She thought she had missed it at first, but later, Yang Xiuzhu, Xie Yuxin and the others all because After soaking enough and going ashore, there was still no sign of Mo Xue.

It was getting dark gradually, and Tang Wanying came back from the sea for the second time, but Mo Xue still hadn't seen a single shadow. A few people were anxious, so they went to pull the rope, only to find that the rope was light and weak. There was a thump in my heart, and I pulled it out to see that it was empty underneath, and Mo Xue had disappeared.

After waiting for a long time, everyone began to get anxious.

"What should I do? What about Xueer? Where did Xueer go?" The girls became extremely worried. They had long heard that there was a fish in the sea called a shark, which would eat people. Will be eaten by fish.

Xie Yuxin directly expressed her worry: "Eldest sister, third sister, you said that the second sister will not be eaten by fish? Huh~" She burst into tears: "What should I do, the second sister will be eaten by fish?" have eaten."

Seeing her like this, Tang Wanying scolded directly: "Don't talk nonsense, Xue'er is fine, she must have been searching the bottom of the sea because she didn't pick any pearls, and she was afraid we would laugh at her, so she forgot the time."

"But, big sister, what's the matter with this empty rope?" Yang Xiuzhu said the key point at once.

That's right, if it's what Tang Wanying said, then what's going on with this rope?Several people fell silent for a while, and they began to recall the cautious, meticulous, hardworking and down-to-earth girl in Zhuyutang, recalling the girl who, although she was reticent along the way, occasionally humorous and narrow-minded, spent more than a year together day and night , They have long been as close as sisters, and now it is said that one of the sisters may die, everyone really cannot accept it.

"Don't think too much about it, everyone. No matter what, we have to wait here for her to come back. We need to see people when we live, and we need to see corpses when we die." Tang Wanying said at the end, saying the most commonly used language in the Jianghu .

But a voice sounded from behind her: "I've been eaten by fish, how can I find the dead bodies?"

"Then I'll find that fish and kill it!" Tang Wanying replied subconsciously, but when she turned around, she saw Mo Xue standing behind her.

"You damn girl, where are you going? You, why did you come back so late? We were all worried." Tang Wanying patted Mo Xue a few times as she spoke, and then burst into tears: "We all thought you died in the sea , was eaten by fish."

"Sister, don't cry, don't cry, I'm all right." Mo Xue was at a loss when she saw Tang Wanying crying, and she began to talk about her experience.

It turned out that she was going to go back when the light in the sea gradually dimmed, but unfortunately, when she looked back, the rope she had lightly hung on the coral reef was gone, and now she didn't know where to go, so She could only float to the surface of the sea first, and when she swam towards the nearest coast, she realized that she was going in the wrong direction. Take some time when you come.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry with me, everyone, look, this is the dinner I brought for you." Mo Xue said and showed them the big food box in her hand.

"Where did you conjure this up? I didn't even see it just now." Tang Wanying said with wide-eyed eyes, and the other two nodded.

Mo Xue shook her head with a broken smile: "I'll keep it in my hand, okay?"

"Where did you get the money to buy it?" Tang Wanying asked.

Mo Xue chuckled and said, "The Mountain Man has his own tricks!"

Several people were worried about Mo Xue's condition before, so they didn't know they were hungry at all. Now that they stopped, they realized that they were tired and hungry. Mo Xue opened the food box and brought out the food. Since it was a seaside village, most of the food was empty. It's seafood. The little girls seldom eat these things. They try it once in a while and think it tastes really good.

After eating, as usual, they gathered firewood and made a fire to prepare for a rest. In order to take care of Mo Xue's face, everyone had a tacit understanding this time to only discuss their feelings about going into the sea instead of discussing their own gains.
