The middle of the lake was quiet, and the four big men did not make the slightest movement, except for the whirring wind and the quacking of the duck on the lake. It's true that ducks are good at water, but no duck will go into the water in the first month of winter. The duck was cold and afraid, and the pain of the wound on his foot made him extremely reluctant to stay in the water, and wanted to swim to the shore.

At this time, An Zengqi had something to do, and he had to manipulate the rope to pull it back, not allowing it to swim out of the controllable range. The duck could only stay pitifully on the water surface with a radius of ten square meters, waiting for an inexplicable destination.

Li Rui stared nervously at the duck in the water, observing the dark green lake around the duck, but some terrifying scenes from Hollywood beast blockbusters came to mind. For example, a prehistoric giant crocodile suddenly jumped out of the water, swallowed the duck in one bite when the four of them were completely defenseless, and then quickly dived to the bottom, and when the four of them knew the danger and wanted to escape to the shore, it resurfaced, opened its bloody mouth and bit the boat where it was...... As soon as I thought of this, I suddenly became scared, and I regretted it a little, regretting that I didn't know the details of this reservoir, so I recklessly followed Lu Xing into the water, this is really on the thief ship, and it is difficult to retreat.

There was silence in the mountains, and occasionally a few birdcalls could be heard from the distant mountain forests, which made the lake more and more deadly quiet. The water is stagnant and does not flow, and the surface of the lake is stable and stable, not even a ripple can be seen. Staying in the center of such a lake, even if you are in a boat, it is difficult to suppress the panic from the heart.

Li Rui asked An Zengqi, an animal expert, in a nervous whisper: "There won't be any crocodiles and other beasts in the reservoir, right?" An Zengqi glanced at him with a smile and asked, "Scared?" Li Rui didn't hide anything, and sneered: "It's really a little." An Zengqi said: "Don't worry." As I said earlier, those monsters can't survive in this ecological environment. You are like crocodiles and pythons, and you can only live in subtropical or tropical environments. Especially crocodiles, the living temperature is 15 to 30 degrees Celsius, like the water in our reservoir is frozen, the water temperature is around zero, even if there are crocodiles, they have already frozen to death. ”

Lu Xing interjected in a low voice: "Brother Li, don't be cowardly, it's not as terrifying as you think." I guess the most likely thing is an oversized fish. His friend also said, "It's a big fish." When we went down to catch fish last year, we found a large scale in the net, about the size of a palm. A fish that can grow such large scales is definitely not a small guy, and it is estimated that it will be more than one person long. Lu Xing said: "If we can catch this big fish today, we will have dinner over." His friend smiled: "If you really catch it, let alone today's dinner, it is estimated that the dinner will come out in a week." ”

The four of them kept talking in a low voice, but they were afraid that if the human voice was too loud, the water monster would not dare to show up. However, no matter how the four of them spoke or not, the water monster just wouldn't come out.

Lu Xing said: "Zengqi, Lalana duck, let it move, and let it call more." ”

An Zengqi acted according to the plan, pulling the duck to paddle on the lake. Of course, the duck was not happy, and while "quacking" and fluttering wildly, making a lot of noise around the boat. Although the water surface of this reservoir is very large, with a radius of about 200 meters, this duck is very small, occupying less than one square meter, but the duck can move and fly, and is very capable of tossing, so it soon made a lot of noise in this huge reservoir.

Suddenly, Li Rui found that a black shadow appeared in the water, the black shadow turned around a few times near the duck, and swam far away, and only after it was far away did he see clearly, only its back was blue-black, and its belly was a piece of white flowers, which turned out to be a large grass carp more than a foot long.

Lu Xing also saw it, and said lightly: "This is here to rub bait and eat." ”

Friends who have fished know that with the development of the times and the progress of science and technology, the bait for fishing has also undergone earth-shaking changes. Nowadays, bait is also divided into flavors, what strawberry flavor, what sesame oil flavor, what fragrance type, what milk flavor type, and even sake lees flavor, which is simply more complicated than the taste that humans like. Just open a bag of bait, and the smell can be refreshing. Even people like it, let alone a fish with an underdeveloped brain? The big grass carp just now swam over to eat after smelling the aroma of bait mixed with duck blood mixed with duck blood in Lu Xingxia's vicinity. It's a pity that it's not the bait that lures it.

A little bored for a while, Li Rui looked back at the dock, and could clearly see the second daughter of Lu Gao, the second daughter stood in place and did not move, looking at her side, so she waved at the two of them, and then saw that the wound on the back of her hand that was pinched by Gao Zixuan had scabbed, and the red blood scab was quite eye-catching, very ashamed, and secretly warned herself in her heart that she should cherish and love her as a real wife, but she could not only be treated as an object of affection, so that she would live up to her favor.

"Ah......h

He was distracted, and suddenly heard An Zengqi beside him let out an exclamation, and then Yu Guang saw his body rushing forward, and he was about to rush overboard and fall into the water, so he was startled, and hurriedly reached over, and pulled his clothes to stop him. However, because of the violent movement of the two of them, the boat began to shake. The four people on the boat dared to move again, and each squatted on the boat, keeping the center of gravity down, which was enough to stabilize the boat.

At this time, looking at it again, the rope in An Zengqi's hand that was dragging the duck had already disappeared without a trace. Lu Xingteng stood up suddenly, looked out of the boat, where was there still a trace of the duck on the water just now? There was only a swirling wave in the same place, which seemed to have risen from the depths of the water.

Turned into elbows and armpits, none of the four of them were defenseless, and when they came back to their senses, they had already missed a good time!

An Zengqi narrowly fell into the water just now, although he was pulled by Li Rui's hand, he was already frightened, sat on the bottom of the boat, gasped for breath, and it took a long time to calm down, and stammered: "Okay...... What a lot of energy! Bad ...... Almost didn't drag me down!" he said, spreading his palms out.

Li Rui, Lu Xing and the others stared at it and saw that there was a fiery red strangulation mark in his palm, which was naturally caused by the violent friction between the rope and the palm when it was quickly withdrawn from his hand just now.

"It's coming!" Lu Xing exclaimed excitedly.

"But it's gone again!" said An Zengqi with a dejected expression.

Lu Xing nodded silently and sighed: "That duck was eaten by it, I'm afraid I won't be hungry for half a day, and it will be difficult to catch it again." Alas, it seems that there is no chance today. ”

Compared with capturing water monsters, it is obviously more important to maintain one's own life. An Zengqi looked at Li Rui gratefully and said, "Brother Li, thank you, if you hadn't pulled me just now, I would have fallen into the water." Li Rui waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, friends still talk about this?" ”

Lu Xing's friend scolded fiercely: "I just don't have power, otherwise, I'll open the gate and release the water, and let this reservoir run dry." I'm going to see what kind of spirit it is!"

Lu Xing smiled bitterly twice and said, "Don't talk about this now." Alas, negligent, I didn't expect it to come so quickly. After speaking, he sighed again and said, "It's no show, it's no show today." Let's go, come back another day and deal with it. ”

Li Rui is not as frustrated as him, this time he said that he was here to catch the water monster, in fact, everyone understands in his heart, how can the water monster be so easy to catch? To put it bluntly, it is just in the name of catching the water monster, come here to travel and relax, it is good to catch the water monster, it doesn't matter if you can't catch it, this is a good optimistic attitude, and said with a smile: "Well, come back another day." After all, it's just a beast, and it can't fight anyone, so you can catch it next time. ”

Lu Xing's friend started the motor and said, "Brothers, sit tight, I'm going to drive." ”

The boat drove out only a dozen meters, Li Rui's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly found that three or four meters to the left of the hull, there was a cloud of white flowers floating on the water, very similar to the duck used as bait just now, and hurriedly shouted: "Look, what is that?"

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and Lu Xing exclaimed, "Ah, isn't this the duck that was captured by the water monster just now?

Everyone looks at me and I look at you, all of them have puzzled looks, and no one can figure it out.

Lu Xing instructed his friend to drive the boat over, so the wooden boat went around in a circle and drove back for a while, and finally stopped at the duck.

Li Rui stretched out his harpoon to the duck's side, wanting to pull it to the side of the boat to see what it had encountered in the period just now, when he suddenly heard a splash of "fluttering", and a fierce wave surged around the duck, and when he looked at it again, a huge black shadow under the water suddenly disappeared, and soon nothing was seen.

Li Rui was so frightened that he shivered, and he didn't care about salvaging the duck, so he took a few steps back, and asked Lu Xing in horror: "Have you seen it...... The black shadow just now?" Lu Xing nodded solemnly, his face slowly showing joy, and said: "That's it, the main owner is here! Quick, quickly catch that duck, don't let it eat it." If it's full, we won't be able to catch it. ”

Li Rui calmed down, poked out the harpoon again, and carefully pulled the duck to the side of the boat. Lu Xingtan's men went down to scoop up the duck and found that the duck was out of breath, and the rope on his legs was still there, but one of the duck's claws had disappeared, leaving only a bloody section of broken bones, which made people look straight.
