"Hey, Zhou Lang is indeed very watery!" Qu Hai has lived in the Jiangnan water town since childhood and has seen countless people with good watery nature. Naturally, he still agrees with Zhou Bo's posture of entering the water.

"Brother Zhou is also famous for hundreds of miles in Pei County. He once chased a giant turtle in Weishan Lake for seven or eight miles, and finally captured him ashore alive. However, he didn't like going to the lake to catch fish on weekdays, otherwise he wouldn't live in such poverty!" Liu Bang said with a smile.

"Since the water quality is good, why don't you want to go to the lake to catch fish?" Gao Yao couldn't help asking.

"I heard that Brother Zhou's father drowned because of fishing in the lake, maybe because of this!" Liu Bang shook his head.

"We rely on the mountains and rivers to eat. There are big rivers everywhere in the east of the Yangtze River. I don't know how many fishermen drowned in the water every year, but after all, they are just a life, and they can't be forced!" Qu Hai sighed.

The ripples on the lake quickly dissipated and returned to calm. The lake wind blew over layer upon layer of waves. Under the bright sunshine, the entire Taihu Lake was like a vast ocean of blue and clear blue. There were mountains around the lake, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, looking extremely quiet. Not far away, there were many fishing boats coming and going on the lake. Occasionally, a few rough fishing songs could be heard.

Time passed quickly, minute by minute, the lake surface was as calm as before, the fishing boats swayed slightly in the waves, and the group of people gradually became anxious to wait, and even the girl who was beginning to look at the side of the boat nervously began to lie on the side of the boat.

Chen Xu couldn't help but stand up. He thought in his heart that Zhou Bo had been going down for at least five minutes.

Five minutes is almost the longest record of free diving in later generations.

If you have not received special training, an ordinary person may basically cause hypoxic brain damage for one or two minutes, and may cause permanent damage or even drowning for more than three minutes. If you do not have complete first aid measures, you will basically be dead. If you have more than twenty-five minutes, even a god cannot save you.

"Young Master, don't be impatient. It's only half a moment before, and it's far from reaching Brother Zhou's limit!" Liu Bang's face calmly comforted Chen Xu.

"Brother Liu said it is good. Judging from Zhou Lang's water quality, he should be very good. After a while, Zhou Lang can't get up, so let the ship go down to investigate!" Qu Hai didn't agree much.

Chen Xu:...

Did the ancient people all wild otters?

It is normal to dive for five or six minutes. You should know that professional divers in later generations can't hold it in underwater for such a long time.

However, people in this era are indeed relatively barbaric. Many people look black and thin but are particularly durable. They walk faster than rabbits when crossing mountains and hills. Carrying big trees with a thickness on their waists is like playing. They don’t feel tired when walking for hundreds of miles. Perhaps with the development of technology and the progress of civilization, people’s physical fitness has been deteriorating because a lot of physical labor has been replaced by tools.

Nearly three minutes passed in a blink of an eye. Not only Chen Xu could not hold back his anger, but even Xiao He, Liu Bang, Cao, Qu Hai and others' faces became solemn. They all stood up around the fishing boat and watched the bottom of the water. But the entrance to their eyes was still a blue calm lake. Zhou Bo never returned as if he had disappeared.

"Boatman, go down and take a look..."

After waiting for almost a minute, Qu Hai finally couldn't hold back his anger.

Zhou Bo is Chen Xu's disciple. If he drowned in front of him, he would be nervous whether Chen Xu blamed him or not.

"Crazy~~"

Just when the shipkeeper agreed to go into the water, a splash of water suddenly appeared seven or eight feet away from the fishing boat, and a figure rushed out of the lake quickly. Zhou Bo's originally dark face turned white. After he rushed out of the water, he opened his mouth and breathed hard without rushing.

"It's okay, Zhou Lang is back safely!"

The people on the boat were almost relieved at the same time, and the shipboat rowed the boat to Zhou Bo to pull him onto the boat.

"No hurry, Bo just dived into the bottom of the water and searched for it, but he did not find any colorful glows. However, he found many lake clams. I will go down to catch a large one later, and maybe there will be pearls inside..." Zhou Bo lay on the side of the boat and gasped, and after a few minutes, his body turned and then he crawled into the bottom of the water and lost his trace.

"Zhou Lang is really a dragon in the water. With such a watery nature, I'm afraid that there will be no other one in Wuzhong that can be compared!" Qu Hai had to admire him at this time.

This time, Zhou Bo went down a lot shorter, and it surfaced again in about seven or eight minutes, with his face also turned pale, but this time he had a giant shell about two feet long in his hand. Without waiting for the boatman to shake the boat, he swayed and walked to the next side of the fishing boat with a clang, and threw the giant clam into the cabin, which was more than three feet long, and then shook it a few times.

"Wow, what a big lake clam!" The girl who had not spoken much couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaimed, and the tea leaves scattered throughout the cabin with a pineapple of her skirt.

"It's indeed a giant clam. The old man has lived on this big lake for his whole life and has never seen such a big clam shell!" Even the old shipman standing at the stern of the boat couldn't help but throw the oars and walk over to watch.

Qu Hai nodded excitedly with his hand and said, "It's indeed rare in the world. I have lived in Wuzhong for more than 40 years and have seen many of them longer than a foot. This one is more than two feet and five inches. If there are pearls inside, it will definitely not be too small. Maybe a giant pearl can be opened!"

"Then you're still waiting, hurry up and take a look!" Gao Yao pulled out the dagger from his waist with a blink of an eye.

"No, please pull Zhou Bo up first!" Chen Xu turned around and reached out to pull Zhou Bo, but Zhou Bo lay on the side of the boat, panting and shook his head, saying, "Don't hurry, don't hurry, the big clam that Bo mentioned just now is not this, there is a bigger one under the rock..."

"What?!" Everyone on the boat turned to look at Zhou Bo.

"If Bo goes down again, this time he will definitely catch the big clam!" Zhou Bo took a deep breath and sank into the bottom of the water again.

"My clam bigger than this, isn't it because Brother Zhou misread it?" Cao Shen said with a dull face as he picked up the big clam shell weighing ten pounds and dripping water out.

"Don't worry about him for now, come and pry the clam open to see if there are any pearls?"

"It's not bad, I'm looking forward to it!"

Qu Haixiao He and others watched and discussed, fixing the big clam shell with hands and feet. Gao Yao inserted the dagger into the gap at the edge of the clam shell for a few strokes, and found that the half-foot-long dagger could not be inserted at the bottom. However, with the cooperation of Xiao He, Liu Bang and others, they slowly spread the two shells apart.

"Wow, what a big pearl~~"

As the clam shell was opened, a pink pearl the size of a thumb appeared in the middle of the yellow clam meat.

"Take it out, take it out soon~"

Amid a series of exclamations, Xiao He took out the pearl and held it in the air. Under the sunlight, the pearl was round and smooth and emitted a faint pink halo, like a gem, emitting an extremely tempting pink light.

“So beautiful ~”

The girl sitting on the side of the boat looked at the pearl that looked like a peerless treasure with a dull face, her mouth wide open, and her face was full of intoxication.

Chen Xu also stared at the pearl that emitted pink light in the sun, and finally had a personal feeling about the word "jewelry" for the first time.

This is the true origin of pearls, and it is a pink pearl. This is the first time he has seen it.

A group of people on the boat passed the beautiful pearl back and forth, and they were all amazed. Chen Xu remembered the situation he had just seen, and couldn't help but squat down and squeezed the flesh inside the clam shell with his hands a few times, then he exclaimed, because he had even pinched a round thing.

"Is there still pearls?" The group of people immediately lowered their heads and surrounded them again.

"Give me the knife!" Chen Xu nodded and stretched out his hand. Gao Yao quickly handed over the dagger. Chen Xu carefully cut the clam meat, and indeed another pink pearl was revealed.

As the pearl was taken out by Chen Xu and held it in the air, the two pearls shone in the sun and emitted a pink glow, and everyone couldn't help but thrust and couldn't stop.

"One clam and two beads, and the color is so magnificent, it is really a peerless treasure that is rare in the world!"

"Brother Xiao said very well!"

"I know, the glow that the young master saw just now might be the two pearls exposed by the big clam's shell at the bottom of the lake..."

"It's definitely not wrong!"

"Not bad, the young master's eyes are sharp and observant. If the young master hadn't insisted, I would have missed such a treasure..."

At this moment, the eyes and thoughts of the group were almost all attracted by these two huge pink pearls, completely forgot Zhou Bo, who had sneaked into the bottom of the lake.

...

"Clang~~"

Just as a group of people were excited to admire the two pearls, a loud noise suddenly appeared on the bow of the boat. As the fishing boat shaking violently, the boat suddenly fell and fell, and the girl sitting on the side of the boat fell into the water with a thud.

"Be careful~"

In a panic, a group of people quickly squatted down and grabbed the side of the ship, while the shipkeeper was quick to lift the girl who fell into the water onto the ship. Almost at the same time, a person emerged from the bow of the ship, grabbed the side of the ship while wiping the water on his face while breathing heavily.

Everyone turned their heads straight at the bow. A huge clam shell the size of a millstone was placed on the boat board like a huge rock, and water was still rising out. The body of the clam shell was bumpy and there was a layer of large and small rocks, covered with moss and mud.

"Hiss~~"

The group of people couldn't help but take a breath, and then stared at Zhou Bo, who was tired and pale, who was lying on the side of the boat like a ghost.

"Everyone... pull... pull a hand..." Zhou Bo lay on the bow of the boat and was shaking.

"Hurry, pull Zhou Bo up!" Chen Xu came to his senses and quickly called a group of people to pull Zhou Bo from the lake to the boat. After Zhou Bo came up, he lay on the bow of the boat with his legs hanging in the water. He was exhausted and could hardly move, and even his whole body twitched from time to time. It seemed that the situation had indeed reached the limit that the body could bear.
