It is not uncommon to find pearls in river mussels. Usually when the river mussel opens and closes, small stones in the water are sucked into the river mussel.
A river mussel with a small stone in its body will be in great pain. In order to relieve the pain, the river mussel will secrete a special liquid substance "nacre" to wrap the stone.
River mussels continue to secrete nacre, and nacre continues to solidify on the surface of stones, so the pearls slowly grow larger.
The cold wind is blowing, and dark clouds are approaching in the sky.
Li Shu looked at the pearl and said, "There is a small stone inside this pearl. It is quite round. Generally speaking, the rounder the pearl, the more valuable it is."
"Then how much is this pearl worth?" Tao Ziqing took the pearl and couldn't put it down, her eyes filled with wealth.
This is really an unexpected surprise!
It is indeed a surprise to find a good-quality pearl in a stream in this primitive tropical rainforest.
"With this condition, the estimated value is probably between 200,000 and 600,000 ringgit." Li Shu said with a smile: "I don't know how long this clam has been growing in the river. I'm afraid this pearl is also very old."
"So expensive?" Tao Ziqing's pupils shrank and she was shocked. In her opinion, it would be good to have 10,000 to 20,000 ringgit.
"Meow meow meow~"
The big orange cat jumped on the table, stood on the corner of the table with four legs, and looked at the pearl curiously.
What baby! ? Let me take a look.
"Large pearls are indeed very expensive. Every time the diameter increases by 1 mm, the price almost doubles. The main reason is that the number of large pearls is too small." Li Shu said with a smile.
"There are too many rich people." Tao Ziqing muttered.
"This pearl belongs to you." Li Shu said with a smile: "I have no impression of the river mussel we touched together. You should have touched this river mussel."
"Ah? How is that possible?"
Tao Ziqing didn't believe it: "Every river mussel looks similar. How can you remember which river mussel I touched? I can't have it."
"I have an impression of the river mussels I touched. The one who didn't have the impression was the one you touched." Li Shu said with a smile.
"Stop refusing, put away the pearls, we are going to work." Li Shu continued.
Mr. Xu Sheng smiled and said: "Come and help, we have to clean all the mussel meat."
"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner later." Tao Ziqing said. She felt that Li Shu gave the pearl to her on purpose. Every clam was similar. She didn't believe that Li Shu remembered which clam he had touched.
Soon.
Everyone prepared the meal and gathered next to the tent to eat.
Since the Mock brothers only caught one rabbit, each of them only got a little bit of rabbit meat. Fortunately, there was also clam meat.
Li Shu squatted next to Mr. Xu Sheng, drinking meat porridge, and gave a shrimp in the bowl to the big orange cat.
"Meow~"
The big orange cat ate the shrimp and nestled next to the plum tree.
The wind was blowing slowly and it felt a little cold.
"I'll give you some meat porridge, do you want to drink it?" Li Shu touched the big orange cat. Looking at the pitiful look of the big orange cat, he felt that the big orange cat was suffering with him.
"Meow~"
The big orange cat nodded.
Use a washed large clam shell as a bowl, pour some thick meat porridge into the clam shell, and the heat will overflow.
The big orange cat waited for the temperature of the porridge to drop slightly, and then happily licked off the meat porridge.
"Meow~"
My belly is warm and feels good!
"Big orange cat, I'll give you this shrimp." Tao Ziqing also gave it a shrimp from her bowl.
"Meow~"
The big orange cat's big round head arched against Tao Ziqing's calf to express its gratitude.
"Haha~ You don't have to thank me. If you like to eat, I have a shrimp in my bowl. Let me feed it to you too." Tao Ziqing's eyes turned into crescents.
Dark clouds came up in the sky, the atmosphere began to become dull and the light dimmed.
After eating, before the rain fell, Tao Ziqing boiled some hot water for drinking and washing.
Li Shu called up Jing Lao and Jing Lao Er and left the camp in the name of looking for firewood.
Looking back, he saw that he was already more than 30 meters away from the camp. His voice could not be heard by others. Li Shu said to Boss Jing and Boss Jing:
"There is some kind of substance around that causes the white jade ring to heat up. You and I will look for it together!"
"Really?" Boss Jing's face was full of surprise.
"Okay, boss." Jing Laoer said.
Li Shu nodded and said: "Run! The closer you are, the higher the temperature of the white jade ring should be."
The three of them were running in the jungle, and the suspicious trees and rocks they encountered several times were not the same.
As time passed, drizzle began to fall from the sky.
"Can't you find it? It's almost time to go back." Li Shu said with a look of reluctance.
Sudden.
He saw a banana tree 3 meters away. The bananas were short, thick and golden.
When I walked to the banana tree, the white jade ring was frighteningly hot in an instant.
"Holy crap, it's this banana tree!" Li Shu was extremely surprised for a moment.
He took the machete from Boss Jing's hand, chopped it in half and peeled it open, and found a goose egg-sized, green-yellow object in the stem.
"It's the same as the object I got from the stone box last time. It's a little soft when pinched, and there are some wooden textures in the translucent body." Li Shu said with a smile.
Finally finding the target, Li Shu was extremely excited.
Boss Jing sniffed: "There is a smell of wood."
"Let's go back and carry the bananas!"
"Okay, boss."
The three of them went back quickly. When they walked into the camp, they saw Tao Ziqing coming out wearing a raincoat. She said angrily: "The rain is going to get heavier. If you don't come back, we will look for you."
Zou Jie, who was also wearing a raincoat, said in surprise: "Hey, banana!?"
"Sorry, we came back a little late." Li Shu distributed the bananas to everyone, and then went back to his tent.
Rub~
After returning to his tent, he zipped up the tent. Li Shu listened to the fact that there was no one outside and there was only the sound of rain. Then he put chalcedony water in a bowl, and then put the "herb essence" into the bowl to melt.
Something moved in my heart.
A white jade ring appeared on the surface of the finger. Take off the ring and throw it into the bowl. Instantly, the white jade ring began to absorb the energy of "essence of plants and trees".
It was quiet inside the tent.
The sound of wind and rain outside the tent gradually grew louder, and a chill spread into the tent.
Li Shu looked at the white jade ring in the bowl expectantly, and said to himself: "I hope the white jade ring will become more awesome! The more awesome the better! As for this oval-shaped mysterious substance, let's call it the essence of vegetation. This is the first It’s only two yuan. I’ll have to look for more of this stuff in the future.”
A few minutes later.
After the white jade ring completely absorbed the energy of the essence of the plants, Li Shu took the ring back to his hand.
Brush~
When consciousness enters the white jade ring, the space inside is still 10 meters long, and the width and height are about 5 meters, which means a total of 250 cubic meters.
There is a small oval pool 2 meters long and 1.5 meters wide in the middle. There is a stone tablet beside the pool.
The top and surrounding walls are pale white, and the bottom is gray-brown sand.
But Li Shu clearly felt a difference. The difference was that the space was much thicker and more real.
Li Shu's consciousness tentatively wrapped the water bowl in the tent. With a thought, the water bowl appeared in the white jade ring.
"Holy crap, can the white jade ring hold items?" Li Shu's face was full of shock, followed by ecstasy.
Wow~
The sound of rain outside the tent seemed to cheer him.
