Chapter

That night, while painting in Xiaoshanghe, Tyrannostan's forehead was sweating.

The reason why he dares to draw blindly is that the person who draws not only looks with his eyes, but also has a score in his heart, and even if he is not accurate, he roughly knows what he is drawing.

He is so familiar with the outlined image with one stroke.

My hometown is by the beach, but there are few waves. It is more like a peaceful mudflat. When building a ancestral hall, it was always expensive to hammer. At that time, he was only seven or eight years old, wearing torn pairs of pants, and a hole in his butt was worn out, revealing his flesh. When he walked, he had to reach out and hold it.

The immortal guided the way, the immortal riding a phoenix, the snails that can swallow tigers and leopards, and the bullfighting fish that can travel through clouds and rain. He didn't know all of them, but when he was chiseling something, he screamed: "Sun Wukong, the Great Sage!"

The last disappointing discovery was not that Sun Wukong did not have wings.

The ancestral hall was completed in March. It was just in time to worship the sea gods and eat the sea by the sea. The ancestors of the ancestors held incense in their hands and bowed again and again. The rustling sea breeze blew, and the immortals on the ridges of the high horns guided the way like a line of lonely and shrunk villains.

His eyes fell on the sacrifice table, and the three animals used to sacrifice to the gods, cow head, pig head, and sheep head, were covered in blood on the neck, and he died with his eyes open.

The old patriarch held the fragrance, and the smoke seemed to float above his head, murmuring in his mouth as the beads produced by clams, the moon became a fetus, the fishy and salty smell of the sea breeze blew his face, and his face was very rough, and it seemed to have salt grains to the touch.

Ten thousand three thought like a complaint: This ghost place! I won’t wait.

As expected, he couldn't stay there anymore. When he was wandering around, he was often asked where his hometown was. According to the situation, he had various rhetorics, including Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenyang, Changchun.

Never thought that one day, I would honestly say these words: "Guangxi, Hepu."

In fact, it was not Hepu, but the secret and closed village above the 180-mile water belt, but it was too unknown. He even thought that they didn't even know where Hepu was.

Unexpectedly, Luo Ren nodded: "The two states of Lei Lian, two pearl ponds, and a ancestral hall is built. Are the people in your hometown asking for the sea to pick pearls?"

Ten thousand three nodded unexpectedly.

The two prefectures of Lei Lian are actually ancient names. Leizhou Prefecture refers to Haikang, Guangdong, and Lianzhou Prefecture is Hepu, Guangxi. The two places are rich in pearls. They were called the two major "zhu ponds" in China in ancient times.

The vast China, two pearls, just thinking about it makes me feel full of ambition.

Among the two major pearl ponds, Hepu is especially precious. The ancient saying says, "Hepu, Yutian travels 20,000 miles apart, the pearls are here and the jade is standing there."

It means that Hepu, Guangxi and Hotan, Xinjiang are about 20,000 miles apart. Here is pearls and there is jade standing proudly.

The ability to confront Hetian jade in the north and south without losing its lust shows the value of Hepu Zhu.

Yi Wansan took out the folded drawing paper from his inner pocket of the clothes and handed it to Luo Ren.

The paper has already been very deep, and the edges are worn and hair is worn. It should have been a while since it was put on. Luo Ren opened it and looked at it. The painting was guided by immortals, and the beasts were scattered, but nothing was seen.

"There are fewer ten beasts on the ridge of the horn. Even if there are places to imitate them, they will not be everywhere. Especially in the end, there are fewer ones... So I just drew them and knew where they were."

Luo Ren stared at him: "Then why did you hide it and not say it?"

Ten thousand three laughed sarcastically: "That ghost place."

He changed his indifferent attitude again: "I don't want to say it, what's wrong?"

***

I don’t want to say it for some reason, but I gave up hiding it for Pinting. Fortunately, I hope it’s not too late to fix the problem.

Luo Ren quickly made a decision: "Tell me the specific location of the village, I'm going to go."

It was just a simple request, but Ten Thousand Hesitated for a long time. Mu Dai urged him: "You give it to him, isn't it just a place?"

"Little boss lady, it's hard to get in if you think."

Mu Daye stared at him and said, "Why is it difficult to get in? Are jackals, tigers and leopards guarding?"

Ten thousand San ignored her, as if weighing something: "Or like this, Luo Ren, I'll go with you, but I have the conditions."

“What conditions?”

"Make sure I'm safe, absolutely safe."

Mu Dai's heart skipped a beat: Ten thousand three-year-old look didn't look like a fake, the sky was bright and the world was bright, and he was back to his hometown again. Could anyone do anything to him?

Yi Wan San turned to Kiyo again: "Little boss lady, this must be considered as my business trip. I can't deduct my salary."

The implication is: You have given me a lot, so it would be useless to deduct me again.

Luo Ren nodded: "Time doesn't wait for anyone. You go back and clean up first. After the arrangements are made here, we will strive to leave tomorrow."

We? The word "we" does not include her. Is Luo Ren not going to invite her? Mu Dai felt empty and felt that he was left alone.

She thought for a while and said, "Then you guys are careful on the way, I will come and take care of Pinting."

Zheng Bo must not be able to withstand the situation in Pinting Ting, and Luo Ren is not here, so he takes care of Pinting Ting himself, Mu Dai takes it for granted.

Luo Ren looked at her strangely: "I have already said about how to arrange Pinting."

Ten thousand San couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "You still want to lock her?"

"What else? Can Mu Daye guard Pinting for twenty-four hours? What if I can't hold on? What if the danger of Pinting exceeds our imagination?"

Luo Ren sneered: "Don't forget, there is a bastard in her body that has lived for thousands of years!"

I won’t speak anymore.

Luo Ren's approach was indeed difficult for him to accept, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of a better solution.

This is all he can do. One day, he doesn't want to waste time anymore, and goes back to pack up his things.

But Mu Dai didn't leave. He bit his lip and watched Luo Ren pull off the red lines that were covered with the room, and plucked up the courage to say, "Luo Ren, I can be with you too."

She quickly explained: "Didn't Tin San say that he should be safe? Maybe it's very dangerous there. He doesn't even know how to make a kung fu. If I were there, it would be much better, at least..."

At least, if there is a situation similar to that tonight, she can climb a wall and help, unlike Ten Thousands who are stopped outside the door and at a loss.

Luo Ren shook his head: "No need."

Kiyo couldn't describe her mood, what did she look like? She held the peach happily and waited for her mother to taste the first bite, but never waited; like when she was in school, she worked hard to do the questions in order to be selected into the Mathematical Olympiad class, but she was not on the list in the end.

The feeling of hanging aside and excluding it.

She didn't give up: "When Xiao Shanghe, you asked me to go."

Luo Ren didn't understand Muyo's paranoia: Is this a good thing that everyone is fighting for?

He patiently explained to her: "The time in Xiao Shanghe is different. At that time, Huo Zihong was involved, and you were indirectly related. Moreover, I admit that I have selfish intentions to use you. You have good skills, and I just want you to help."

She really only listened to what she wanted to hear: "I can still help this time."

"This incident has nothing to do with you. Pinting has something to do with her. She is my family and I should run for her. If things are dangerous, I don't want to involve you. Besides, you have something to do. You have just returned from Xiao Shanghe and ran around shortly after you came back, and Uncle Zhang would be unhappy."

Uncle Zhang is unhappy if he is unhappy, but he is often unhappy anyway.

Kiyo stood with his head down, neither saying good nor saying bad. Even his hair was written with the word stubbornness. If someone else changed him, he could even speak harsh words and say some harsh words to drive people away, but Kiyo couldn't do it, she would cry.

Besides, the handkerchief he bought last time used up all the time.

He had to give in: "This way, Mu Daye, I think about it again. If Uncle Zhang agrees, just think about it as going out to play..."

There should be many fun places in Hepu, just take her out for fun. It is also good to buy a pearl in the Huaxia Pearl Pool.

Kiyo looked up at him: "Really? You won't be driving away secretly with Ten Thousand San?"

Her eyes were a little red, her eyes were bright, and she had no aggrieved momentum, but she felt a little joy. She really wanted to hug her, rub her hair, or scrape her nose.

It seems that I like her more than I imagined. What should I do? Do I really take her to face each other day?

Luo Ren feels that he needs to seriously consider the operability of driving with 10,000 yuan.

***

Ten thousand three thousand packed his luggage soon. He didn't have much stuff, so it was most suitable to leave as soon as he said he could. Anyway, all external things can be bought with money. As for money, whether it is earned or cheated, you can get it.

What are you doing when you are guarding a luggage bag on a long night?

He lay down on the bed for a while, went into the bar in the dark, and when he came back, he held half a bottle of wine under his armpits.

No matter what taste it tastes, no matter whether it is expensive or not, just drink it.

He sucked a big mouthful of water.

The village is called "Wuzhu Village". It sounds stupid and stupid, but it actually has its origin. At that time, the old patriarch was surrounded by a group of children. Wen Huaihua shook his head and talked about the origin of the village, saying: "The so-called dragon balls are in the jaw, snake balls are in the mouth, fish balls are in the eyes, mermaid balls are in the skin, and turtle balls are in the feet. These are all fakes. The real ones that produce pearls must be old clams! But our village is called Wuzhu, no matter what beads and colors you have!"

According to legend, pearls can be produced in the jaw of a dragon, the abdomen of a snake, the eyes of a fish, the skin of a shark, and the feet of a turtle. Of course, this is just a speculation. Nowadays, three-year-old children know that pearls come from clam shells.

He also said that this Wuzhu Village is probably one of the oldest villages in southern China.

"Qin Shihuang unified Lingnan and established Xiang County. Wuzhu Village was there since then. He has been picking beads for generations. No matter how chaotic the situation is, we will not starve to death! But those people from other villages picked too frequently, and only money can be seen in their eyes. The clams in this area will be picked out! They fished in the lake and could not produce beads in the sea in the future!"

The whole village went crazy for the pearls, sacrificed the sea gods and robbed the sea area. On the pearl-picking boats that were wider and rounder than ordinary small boats, they were bleeding. In the melee, many people fell into the sea like dumplings, and then cursed and slapped the edge of the boat to continue to "join the war".

Finally, the township police station was alarmed, and several police cars were around and around to the outside of the village. The police trotted over and fired a shot at the sky, shocking everyone.

They all seek life from the sea, and the fight was so unbearable that the defeated people from the two villages were like roosters on both sides to listen to the lectures of the police station. The women came to watch. The mother of 13,000 suddenly panicked and shouted: "Jiangzhao, Jiangzhao, where is your father!"

I went around and finally remembered to go into the water. No one thought that my father would drown. People who pick beads all year round could go down to hundreds of feet under the water to pick clams. How could they be drowned?

My father's white body was caught in water. A good rider fell and a good swimmer drowned. Those who have been seeking life from the sea for the rest of their lives were killed by the sea.

The unexpected gain brought by his father's death was to win Wuzhu Village in the battle to grab territory.

But my father's life was speechless, and the comrades at the police station were helpless in the face of his mother's crying: "Aunt, there are at least dozens of people robbing the territory. They jumped around on the boat. Who knows if they were pushed down or tripped down by someone. It is difficult to define the responsibility."

The day after the urn was brought back, my mother cried to death and said, "It's pitiful, the man who was begging the sea, said that the fire was burned to ashes and should be buried in the sea."

She went out with her urn in her arms.

Tin San didn't pay much attention, and was watching TV on his own. Suddenly, he heard the sound of the dongdong gong. The old patriarch came in and twisted his ears: "Hurry, call your mother back, how can a woman enter the sea!"

It is a rule for women in Wuzhu Village to not enter the sea. It is said that there are dragons guarding pearls in the sea. Every March, every year when they feed it, they sleep comfortably on the bottom of the sea for a year, allowing the pearl pickers to go into the water to pick clams safely, but the dragon does not like women, and women enter the sea offend it.

The villagers gathered at the beach with torches. The water surface was so flat that the moon was pouring on the sea like silver. From a distance, you could see your mother's thin figure, shaking the oars, slowly heading into the sea.

Several angry men hurriedly unbuttoned the rope of the pearl-picking boat and pushed it into the water to catch up. Ten thousand three thousand words were long and short, shouting at the beach, shouting like a voice: "Mom, come back, women can't enter the sea..."

At this moment, the moon was like water, the fire was coming, and the black sea was like countless pieces of gold, in full view of everyone...
