Rong Gaotang was secretive about the affairs of Gu Lirao's family, and Mr. Huo downplayed the affairs of Gu Lirao's family and scratched his shoes.

In Liu Dayu's opinion, it is not only the affairs of the Gu Li Rao family that are eccentric, Rong Gaotang and Teacher Huo are also very eccentric, and the eyes of those who cross the river by boat are also a little weird, and even Rong Erye is a little weird.

After the ferry docked, some people jumped ashore and disappeared into the woods on the embankment before the ferry could come to a stop. As soon as Mr. Huo went up the embankment, he said hello to Lu Changgeng, and then rode his bicycle and left. Only Rong Gaotang accompanied him all the way.

Along the way, Rong Gaotang was silent, if it wasn't for Zhao Datong and Lu Changgeng taking the initiative to ask him some questions, he wouldn't even bother to speak.

After turning left, the group walked into a dense wooded field.

Walking on the forest path, you can faintly see the courtyard walls and roofs of the houses nestled in the woods.

Zhao Datong said that Guli Village has a great characteristic, that is, there are many trees and forests.

Passing through a forest, a wooden bridge appeared in front of me, the wooden bridge is made of a trunk and rivets about 20 centimeters thick, the wooden bridge is about eight meters long and about two meters wide, and the bridge deck is staring at the wooden planks, most of the planks are old planks, and some of them have just been patched up new planks. There are guardrails seventy or eighty centimeters high on both sides of the bridge.

Liu Dayu stood by the guardrail and looked at both sides of the bridge.

"To the north is the Guli River, and to the south is the Gujia Datang." Zhao Datong said.

"Xiao Zhao, how far is the Gu Family's Great Pond from here?"

"A few minutes away. Simply, let's go to Gujia Datang first, and we can also go to Gulirao's house by taking this road. Zhao Datong knew what Liu Dayu was thinking.

Everyone walked along the east bank of the creek towards the south.

The river is meandering, with towering ancient trees and shrubs on both banks. The river is wide in some places and narrow in others.

Along the way, you will see several small wooden boats, which are docked on the shore with a rope attached to the trunk of the tree on the shore at the bow and stern.

Liu Dayu noticed that wherever there is a boat, there will be a few families not far away.

"Brother Rong, tell us, what is so special about this ancient family pond? Why do people drown so often? Lu Chang Geng said. In fact, Director Lu already knew some of the situation of Gujia Datang from Zhao Datong's mouth, but he wanted to hear what Rong Gaotang had to say. The reason why Liu Dayu wants to see the ancient family Datang also has this meaning.

It's hard to talk about the affairs of the Gu Lirao family -- or it's inconvenient to talk about it, but it's not a taboo to talk about the Gu family's big pond.

"In addition to being very large, Gujia Datang has two characteristics."

"What are the characteristics?"

"The first feature is that it is very deep, it is not deep in one place, many places are very deep, people stand on the shore and look at it, you can see the bottom of the water, people stand in the water, it is half a person deep! But if you take a few steps inside, you won't be able to hit the end. ”

"What is the water area of the Gu family compound?" Liu Dayu asked.

"There are more than 200 acres, right?"

With a water area of more than 200 acres, it is indeed a large pond.

"How deep is the deepest place?"

"The deepest place is more than ten meters deep, and in the middle of the pond, ten meters long bamboo poles can't be beaten to the end. The deepest place was on the west side of the pond, and no one dared to go anywhere except the fishermen. Let's put it this way! Even in the driest years, the west side of Datang has never seen the bottom. ”
