There are thousands of small islands scattered in the waters of Qiandao Lake, among which there is a place called Pearl Island. In the 1970s, a Zhuji woman surrounded a large area around the island to engage in pearl mussel farming. In order to adapt to the deep water environment of Qiandao Lake, I heard that at that time A batch of pond butterfly clams from the Guizi Kingdom were specially introduced. This kind of clams was also nicknamed surgical clams. Later, the breeding failed and a large number of people died because the water temperature at the bottom of the lake was too low. The Zhuji woman who did the breeding was also burdened with huge debts. , committed suicide by jumping into the lake.
But what is unexpected is that more than ten years later, a kind of white river clam suddenly appeared in the waters of Moonlight Island.
This kind of white clam can produce a kind of black pearl, and this kind of black pearl has the visual effect of mercury when viewed in the moonlight, that is, it can change color. For a time, the color-changing pearl caused a huge sensation in the market.
Some people say that this is a new species that mutated from the batch of pond butterfly mussels released by Zhuji women in the 1970s under the low-temperature environment of deep water.
There is also a mysterious myth among the people. It is said that the Zhuji woman turned into a "clam mother" after throwing herself into the lake because of her unwillingness. All the moonlight pearls were spit out from the mouth of the clam mother, and whoever found them would be able to find them. Great wealth.
In that era when television was not yet available and news was limited, there were different opinions on the truth of this matter. The only two things that have been officially confirmed are two points. First, Moonlight Island does have black pearl clams worth thousands of gold, but the production is very rare and only scattered here and there. In the deep water area, second, the Zhuji woman who raised clams did commit suicide by jumping into the lake, and her body was never found.
It is said that the best black pearls produced on Moonlight Island can easily sell for two to three hundred thousand yuan. Although the government strictly prohibits illegal salvage, many people still choose to take risks in the face of huge profits, and more than a dozen people are arrested every year.
I immediately thought, since he thought I was collecting pearls and clams secretly, why didn’t I drag him into the water by mistake?
So, I took a deep breath and said, "Brother Kong, you have a sharp eye, and my brother won't hide it from you. As long as you can help your brother, you will definitely get a share of the benefits."
He frowned and asked, "How much will you give me?"
I pointed two fingers and said 20% profit, which means he earned 20,000 points for one hundred thousand points.
He thought for a while and shook his head: "I want at least 30%. In addition, you have to give me 80,000 yuan in benefits first."
Seeing that I stopped talking, he immediately dipped his finger in some wine and drew a circle on the table.
"Look, this is like Moonlight Island. I have people from the Water Conservancy Bureau, and I can inform you in advance when the patrol team will arrive there every day. Isn't this worth 10% of the profit?"
In my impression, Moonlight Island is only more than ten miles away from the Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station, and the nameless island where we live is not far from the hydropower station. It would be really useful to know the movements of the patrol team.
I immediately agreed, and 30% made it 30%. Anyway, I had the final say on the final payment.
He was immediately overjoyed and had several drinks with me. After dinner, he said he would drive me back to the hotel in his car, and I agreed.
The car drove for ten minutes. I looked out the window and felt that it was not the way to the hotel. I immediately asked nervously: "Brother Kong, didn't you say you would take me back to the hotel? Where are you going?"
He changed his mind again and said with a smile: "We will be brothers from now on. How can we let you stay in a place like a hotel? I will stay at home tonight. The bed at home is more comfortable than the one in the hotel."
"Isn't it convenient to go home?" I glanced at Dr. Song sitting in the back row.
Dr. Song smiled and said in a gentle voice: "It's no big deal. If you have room at home, just listen to your brother Kong."
I resisted several times, but the other party insisted on letting me go home. I was afraid that the situation would become tense if the stalemate continued, so I sent Dou Sprout a text message saying that I would go back early and asked him to keep an eye on the Echo Duck at the hotel.
When I arrived at Dr. Song's house, everything seemed normal. I washed my face and went to the next room to rest.
Because in other people's homes, I don't dare to sleep too much with the quilt covered. I wake up at the slightest movement.
I don’t know what time it was, but in the dark, suddenly, the bedroom door opened.
