The reservoir is not large, like an artificial lake in a city park, and you can see the edge at a glance. Standing on the dam of the reservoir, looking around, surrounded by mountains, a lake that looks like a green mirror lies quietly on the mountain basin, the water is not rippling, as if it is asleep. A thick layer of ice has formed at the water's edge, and many adults and children are skating on the ice. And the east and west sides of the reservoir are the cliffs that are as high as tens of meters, the mountain seems to be limestone, the pieces are flat, like a knife and axe splitting, directly inserted into the water, the mountains and rivers are one, quite a bit of scenery.

The dam is nearly 10 meters above the water level, that is, the height of a three-story building, and there are more than a dozen flood outlets on the perimeter, and the inner side is gently sloped into the reservoir, so that people can walk on the passage at the top of the dam, and of course they can slowly descend from the gentle slope on the inner side to the bottom of the slope. And if you accidentally stumble, it will roll into the water in a very rounded way.

Li Rui patted Lu Qingman's little hand and said, "Look, the water surface is not big, don't you feel relieved this time?"

Lu Qingman nodded, originally thought that where there were water monsters haunted, it must be that the water surface was wide and boundless, there was no grass growing at the water's edge, people and animals did not dare to approach, and even the sky was dark, and there was a dark and terrifying atmosphere everywhere, until now, when I saw the true face of the reservoir, I found that it was very different from what I thought, and I was too good at association, maybe I watched too much Journey to the West, and said with a smile: "Then be careful." ”

Lu Xing took out his mobile phone and called a local friend who runs the reservoir, asking him to raise a boat to come over, and then beckoned everyone to come down the dam.

Seeing that Li Rui was just taking Lu Qingman's hand and going down the dam slope, ignoring himself at all, Gao Zixuan was so angry that her nose was crooked, and she shouted: "You bastard surnamed Li, you only care about Sister Qingman, don't you care about me?

Li Rui was embarrassed when he heard this, so he hurriedly stopped and said, "You come here, I'll take you down with me." Gao Zixuan walked over angrily, and after holding his hand, she kicked him hard first, and scolded: "Damn, do you still need me to say this? Are you a man? I really want to kick you to death!"

Lu Qingman also felt that her husband didn't take enough care of her, lacked gentlemanly spirit, how could she say that she was also a good friend, but she said: "Girl, do you know what this means?" Gao Zixuan said angrily: "What does it mean? You husband and wife are really selfish enough, just take care of yourself." Lu Qingman smiled and said, "It means that you should find a husband." If you have a husband, do you still need to be angry?" Gao Zixuan said viciously: "I'll find one, I won't be angry anymore!" After speaking, he pinched Li Rui with his fingernails.

She is angry, you can imagine how ruthless she will be. Li Rui felt a pain in his hand, he had been pinched into the flesh by her fingernails, and the pain was so painful that he almost didn't scream out, peeked at it, and the blood flowed out, only then did he know that the "little wife" was very angry, and he felt helpless and guilty, so he could only look at her apologetically.

When the five people go down to the bottom of the slope, there is still a distance of one meter from the water surface, you can clearly smell the smell of the water, in the place where there is no freezing, you can always see the bottom of the water, the water potential has no slope, turn sharply, the place where you land is one or two meters deep, there are solid limestone, and dark green aquatic plants, of course, there are also small fish and shrimp.

Lu Qingman suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Over there...... Look, there's a big fish there, what kind of fish is it...... It's like a grass carp, right?" Gao Zixuan looked in the direction of her finger and shouted: "Yes, there are really fish, so big." ”

Lu Xing smiled, looked at the sack containing the duck in his hand, and said, "Look, if you are lucky today, you can catch a super big fish!"

Suddenly a person walked in the distance, waving to him as he walked, and shouting something. After Lu Xing saw him, he said, "Our ship is here, hehe." ”

The person who came was Lu Xing's friend, who was a manager in the company that contracted the development of the Wangyefen Reservoir. He walked up to Lu Xing, shook hands with him warmly, and after his eyes swept over An Zengqi, Li Rui and others, he glanced at the sack in Lu Xing's hand, and said with a smile: "Did you that guy? ”

Li Rui was suddenly taken aback when he heard this, good guy, what kind of monster does this have to be, it's okay to hit the mountain to play? Not to mention anything else, how strong is the skin and flesh alone? Originally, I thought it was just a big fish, but now I don't think so, and at the same time, I am a little timid, it dares to hit the mountain, what if it crashes into the boat that he and others are on?

Lu Xing talked to the friend for a few words, beckoned An Zengqi and the others to follow, and walked to the dock at the foot of the mountain to the west. There were five or six small boats, both wooden and plastic, parked on the ice, and the underside of each boat was padded with bricks so that they would not be damaged and cracked if they came into contact with the water.

Lu Qingman took Li Rui by the hand and said in a low voice: "Don't get on the boat with them, let's just watch from the shore." It's too dangerous, that water monster even dares to hit a mountain, what else doesn't dare to collide?" Li Rui pointed to those boats with a smile and said, "It's okay, you see, those boats are not small, and they are quite sturdy, so nothing can happen." Besides, we still have wooden sticks and harpoons in our hands, and three big men can't pick up a big fish?"

Gao Zixuan helped: "That's it, Sister Qingman, don't make a fuss, what kind of big water monster can this small broken reservoir have? I've heard people say that the fish is old and becomes fine, but no matter how fine it is, it can still be better than the human spirit?" Lu Qingman said in surprise: "Big fish spirit? monster?" Gao Zixuan laughed and said: "Of course not, it's an exaggeration, in fact, it means that after this fish lives for a long time, it will be fine, a thief, and ordinary people can't catch it." In fact, it is just a fish, but it is a big one, and it is still afraid of people. Lu Qingman said: "But who told you that this guy is a fish? What if it's some other monster?"

An Zengqi turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, there are no other demons here." Because of the ecological environment here, there can't be other monsters, and other monsters can't survive here. ”

These people persuaded them repeatedly, but Lu Qingman didn't say anything anymore, and only told Li Rui to be careful.

The six of them came to the dock, and several large men used crowbars, ropes and other tools to push a wooden boat into the water. Lu Xing's friend jumped into the boat first, opened the engine lock, and started. Then Lu Xing got off the boat with two ducks, and An Zengqi and Li Rui also jumped onto the boat with the equipment they brought. The second daughter stayed on the dock and used the binoculars brought by An Zengqi to observe the movements of the four people.

The wooden boat quickly sailed into the middle of the reservoir with the noise of the motor, seventy or eighty meters away from the shore.

Lu Xing took a duck out of the sack, tied it firmly to the duck leg with two strands of rope, handed the other end of the rope to An Zengqi's hand, and then took out a knife, cut a hole in the duck leg, and then stirred a small basin of mixed bait for fishing with the duck blood that flowed out, and finally sprinkled this basin of bait within a radius of more than ten meters outside the boat, and put the duck into the water, and the trap was set.

Later, he handed the harpoon to Li Rui and taught him how to use it. He himself opened a backpack that he was carrying, took out a set of instruments from it and assembled it, and when the assembly was finished, Li Rui's eyes lit up, good guy, this little handsome guy is really well equipped, and he came with a crossbow.

What Lu Xing was holding in his hand was a large crossbow bow with a length of one meter and a half, the wings of the bow on both sides were extended to almost one and a half meters, and there was a sharp crossbow arrow with several barbs on the arrow trough, the arrow was almost two inches long, flashing with gray-white metallic light, which made people palpitate, and there was a small hole in the tail of the arrow, and a safety rope that was not too thick was tied to it. Judging from this set of equipment alone, you can know how much Lu Xing wants to catch the water monster entrenched in this reservoir.

He held the crossbow arm in his left hand, the butt of the crossbow in his right hand, and his index finger on the trigger, looking at the water where the duck was with a solemn face. That expression really looks like a qualified hunter.

Li Rui couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw that he looked like he was facing a great enemy, but he still couldn't help laughing, and raised his harpoon very cooperatively, ready to attack at any time.

Of the three people, An Zengqi used a rope to control the "live bait", that is, the range of movement of the duck, Lu Xing held a heavy crossbow, and Li Rui raised a harpoon, each with its own task, but at the same time entered the battle preparations.

Lu Xing's friend sat leisurely at the stern of the boat and smoked, looking at the appearance of these three people, his face was full of smiles.

"Oh, show me, how are they?"

On the shore, Gao Zixuan anxiously urged Lu Qingman.

Lu Qingman handed her the telescope, rubbed her eyes, shook her head and said, "No, I've been dizzy after looking at this telescope for a long time, and I won't look at it." ”

Gao Zixuan looked at the telescope for a long time, but she couldn't find the location of the boat, let alone Li Rui and the others, so she was so anxious that she couldn't do it, and said, "How do you see it, why can't I see anything?" Lu Qingman was amused, looked at the location of the ship, adjusted the angle of the telescope in her hand, slightly lowered, and said: "Can you see it now? You just came up to the sky, stupid girl." Gao Zixuan smiled and said, "I've seen it, hey, what are they doing here? Your husband is so stupid, haha, holding an iron fork, motionless, how stupid and stupid you are." Lu Qingman didn't like to listen to it anymore, and said, "Your husband is stupid." Gao Zixuan laughed and said, "Don't forget, I am your husband's little wife, and he is also my husband." Lu Qingman twisted it around her waist and said, "Don't be poor, tell me quickly, is there any latest situation?" Gao Zixuan slowly shook her head.
