Chapter 28 Pearl picker 2

After saying that, the traveling doctor retreated. The middle-aged man, known as the "pearl picker", was not surprised at all when he heard the wandering doctor's words. He just looked straight on the fish and said the last sentence with all his strength: "Little girl, I died... After I die, can you... Can you bury me in Li The farthest sea... the farthest mountain? Don't throw my body back into the sea, please, don't...don't..."

The voice of the pearl picker gradually decreased, and in the end it was slightly invisible, but the fish remembered his words in his heart. Although he was just met by chance, the fish still answered seriously in the face of his request: "Uncle, don't worry, since I can't save you, I will definitely do it. This little power will bury you on the mountain.

But burying the pearl picker is not something that a fish can do, so the fish wants to ask everyone in the village to carry the body of the pearl picker aside first, wait for her to go back to discuss with her family, and then take the body to the mountain for good burial. But before the fish could ask the villagers for help, they saw that they had begun to pick things on the pearl people unscrupulously...

The men, women and children surrounding the corpse of the pearl picker, including the village head, occupied a quick search of one of the pearl pickers. Several of them have even taken off the fish basket hanging on the waist of the pearl picker and seemed to want to see if there was anything valuable there.

This situation made the kind-hearted fish unbearable and asked loudly on the spot, "What are you doing?" He is dead. You are disrespectful to the dead!"

The fish is only an eight- or nine-year-old girl at the moment, so the greedy people didn't pay attention to her words at all, and even the most scoundrels sneered rudely: "He's dead. Why did he keep those treasures on his body?! Besides, if we don't search for his baby now, will we keep it for you to go to the coffin for him? Don't think you're the only one who's smart. We're all fools!"

"Baby? Why, baby?"

The fish asked puzzled, but the rogue who satirized the fish before didn't have time to talk to him in detail. He had long buried his head and continued to look for the baby on the pearl picker, for fear that if he talked more words with the fish, the baby would be won by others.

But Li Erniu, who looked aside for a while, had already found out the matter and pulled the fish aside and whispered, "They said that this person who was washed by the sea to us is a pearl picker. He must have carried a lot of pearls picked from the sea. The pearls embedded in this pearls are rare. Things, that's why this group of greedy people are eager to turn over the things on him..."

Li Erniu also looked down on these people who even wanted to rob the dead, so as she spoke, she curled her lips with some gloating and said, "It's a pity that the village head knocked down the fish basket hanging on the pearl picker several times, but they still couldn't find a pearl clam!" It seems that when the pearl picker bumped in the sea, the fish basket containing the pearl clam accidentally opened, so that the pearl clam inside was washed out of the fish basket by the sea and there was no one left..."

"However, those pearl mulls are still washed away by the sea. If the pearl mulls hard picked by the pearl pickers are not washed away by the sea, they will benefit these greedy villains in vain! If I were the pearl picker, I would rather throw the pearl clam back into the sea than give it to these people who have no sympathy at all..."

Li Erniu's next words did not listen carefully, but suddenly remembered the kit bag that the previous pearl picker forced her and finally hid in the bamboo basket. According to what Li Erniu said, the things in the kit must be the most precious thing that the pearl picker found in the sea. Things! Otherwise, the pearl picker would not hide it alone in the kit and hang it around his neck.

Although the fish is not sure what the pearl picker stuffed into her, the fish clearly knows that the kit given to him by the pearl picker must not fall into the hands of this group of greedy people! Otherwise, I will have the trust of the pearl picker...

As soon as the fish thought of this floor, she pulled Li Erniu out quietly and rushed to the place where her boat stopped while the village head and others were still frantically searching for the corpses of pearls.

The fish took Li Erniu and ran to the front of her boat and let go of Li Erniu's gasp. After relaxing, she didn't have time to talk to Li Erniu more. While running to the shore to untie the rope of the bamboo raft, she casually said casually: "I have to go home and tell my father and mother about this. After all, I just promised that the pearl picker would bury him well..."

After saying that, the fish got on the bamboo raft and rowed to his boat. Soon, he climbed up his boat with a bamboo basket. As soon as he got on the boat, he got into the cabin and pulled Yang Dazhu and others and others and said, "Father and mother, a pearl picker died on the beach not far away..."

The fish did not hide anything about his family. After telling the previous events, he raised the question that had been hovering in his heart: "Dad, mother, are the pearl pickers a fisherman who specializes in diving to the bottom of the sea to pick pearls? How did they dive to the bottom of the sea?

Fish has learned some history related to pearls before, and also knows that there was such a strange and dangerous profession as pearl picking in ancient times. But Yuer is now a traveler who has experienced two generations, and it has been nearly ten years between this life and the previous life. Therefore, the fish has learned this knowledge and can't remember it for a while, and the more he can't remember the things, the more he wants to remember, so as soon as he finishes talking about the matter, he can't wait to ask about things related to the pearl pickers.

As soon as the fish asked, Yang Dazhu took the lead in saying everything he knew: "Dad has heard some things related to pearl pickers before. I heard that there are many people in Hepu, Beihai who specialize in picking pearls in the sea for a living. These people are called 'pearl pickers' by big guys. However, Dad only knows that they are very capable and can dive into the deep sea to pick pearls. As for how they picked pearls, Dad doesn't know..."

Yang Dazhu paused and then said some rumors related to pearl pickers: "However, I heard that these pearl pickers are very rich. Every time they come back from the sea, they carry a lot of pearls. Some even need to go to the sea to pick pearls once and pick pearls, which is enough for them to live for a lifetime."

Hearing the words, the fish suddenly realized and said, "No wonder the village head went to the pearl as soon as they learned that the person washed ashore ashore by the pearl picker, they desperately searched for the pearl!"

The Yang family is actually pure and honest people, so no one agrees with the practices of village chiefs and others. Most of them, like fish, think that the village chiefs are too much. After all, even three-year-old children know such a simple truth as "the dead are big".

At this moment, Yang Silang, standing beside the fish, suddenly patted his head and said excitedly, "Sister, I know how those pearl pickers picked up pearls!"

"Do you know the fourth brother? Do you know something that even your father and mother don't know? Yuer obviously doesn't believe in Yang Silang. After all, even Yang Dazhu, an experienced fisherman, doesn't know how to pick pearls.

Yang Silang was very dissatisfied with the suspicious look on the fish's face, and immediately protested angrily, "Sister, don't look down on me, I really know! Those pearl pickers went to sea in a big boat. After finding the place where they planned to dive and collect pearls, the pearl pickers will first take out a strong and thick long rope. One end of the long rope is firmly tied to the ship, and the other end is wrapped around the bead picker's waist several times and finally firmly knotted. When wrapping the rope, the bead pickers will hang a bamboo basket together on his waist... ..."

"Then the pearl picker will carry the bamboo basket deep into the bottom of the sea and put the picked pearl clam into the bamboo basket. When he feels that he can't stand it, he will shake the rope tied to his waist and tell the people on the sea to pull the rope. As soon as the people on the sea see the rope shaking, they will pull the rope up vigorously and quickly drag the pearl picker and the bamboo basket to the surface of the water.

Yang Silang carefully observed the fish's look. After seeing the fish's shocked expression, he was very proud. After talking about how the pearl picker picked the beads, he deliberately showed off a few more words: "I heard that the method of pearl picking in other island countries is similar to that of our country, such as the pearl-producing countries along the Persian Gulf, which also used my The simple method I just mentioned.

Yang Silang's words are like a key that opens the door to the dust memory in the fish's mind, making her instantly remember the knowledge she learned about pearls in her previous life. As soon as the memory of Yuer's dust in his mind revived, he quickly remembered Yang Silang's previous method of pearl picking, which was recorded in many ancient books, and also remembered what Yang Dazhu had previously said about "Beihai Hepu", which is the most famous pearl picking place in history.

Fish has consulted some information in his previous life and knows the history of seawater pearls in the North Sea, which can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty more than 4,000 years ago. The production tools of pearl pickers in the ancient Beihai were very backward, basically picking pearls according to the method Yang Silang mentioned earlier.

Although Yang Silang analyzed the method of pearl picking very simply, the fish knew that in ancient times, when any equipment was very backward, it was a very dangerous thing to pick pearls in the sea! Even if the bead people are wrapped in thick ropes, they are often swallowed by the waves, or bitten to death by fierce sea beasts such as sharks, and some will die from diving for too long and bleeding.

In addition, pearl pickers not only have to withstand the test of lack of oxygen at the seabed, but also have to bear the huge pressure from the sea. In the cold winter, pearl pickers who dive to the bottom of the sea also have to endure the cold of the sea! Therefore, pearl picking can be said to be a dangerous profession...

Xiaoyun thought that the ancient pearl picking industry was very magical, so he made more introductions in the article, and I don't know whether everyone likes it or not. Of course, this plot arrangement is also useful in the article.
