The reservoir was not big. It was like a man-made lake in a city park, and one could see the end of it at a glance. Standing on the dam of the reservoir and looking around, a green mirror-like lake lay quietly in the basin between the mountains. There were no ripples on the water, as if it was in deep sleep. There was a thick layer of ice at the edge of the water. Many adults and children were skating on the ice. On the east and west sides of the reservoir were cliffs that were dozens of meters high. The mountains seemed to be made of limestone. They were flat and looked as if they were cut by a knife or an axe. They were inserted directly into the water. It was quite a scenic sight.
The dam was nearly ten meters above the water level, which was the height of a three-story building. The periphery was straight up and down, and there were more than ten spillways. The inside of the dam was like a gentle slope that extended into the reservoir. People could walk on the passage at the top of the dam, and of course, they could also slowly go down the gentle slope to the bottom of the slope. If they were not careful, they would roll into the water in a very smooth way.
Li Rui patted Lu Qingman's small hand and said, "Look, the water is not big. Are you relieved now?"
Lu Qingman nodded. Originally, she thought that the water monster would appear in a place where the water was vast and boundless. There would be no grass at the edge of the water, and people and animals would not dare to go near it. Even the sky would be dark, and there would be a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere everywhere. Only now, when she saw the true appearance of the reservoir, did she realize that it was very different from what she imagined. She was too good at associating things. Perhaps she had watched too much of Journey to the West. She smiled and said, "But we still have to be careful."
Lu Xing took out his phone and called a friend who ran the reservoir. He asked him to get a boat over, and then he called everyone to go down the dam.
Seeing that Li Rui only cared about Lu Qingman's hand and went down the slope of the dam, ignoring her, Gao Zixuan was so angry that her nose was crooked. She shouted, "Li, you bastard! You only care about Qingman and don't care about me? Did they come here together? What will I do if you all go down? Are you going to leave me here? "
Li Rui was extremely embarrassed when he heard this. He quickly stopped and said, "Come here, I'll pull you down with me." Gao Zixuan walked over angrily, grabbed his hand, and kicked him hard. He scolded, "Damn, do you need me to tell you that? Are you a man? I really want to kick you to death! "
Lu Qingman also felt that her husband didn't take good care of her and lacked gentlemanly spirit. No matter what, they were good friends, but she said, "Girl, do you know what this means?" Gao Zixuan said unhappily, "What does it mean? You two are so selfish. You only care about yourself. "Lu Qingman chuckled." It means you should find a husband. If I had a husband, would I still need to endure this? "Gao Zixuan said fiercely," I'll find one right now and I won't endure this anymore! "After that, she pinched Li Rui hard with her fingernails.
She was angry, so one could imagine how ruthless she was. Li Rui felt pain in his hand. Her fingernails had already dug into his flesh. It was so painful that he almost cried out. He stole a glance and saw that blood was flowing out. Only then did he know that his "little wife" was very angry. He felt helpless and guilty, and could only look at her apologetically.
When the five of them reached the bottom of the slope, they were only one meter away from the surface of the water. They could clearly smell the fishy smell of the water. In places where there was no ice, they could see the bottom of the water. There was no slope to the water, and it went straight down. The place near the shore was one or two meters deep. There were solid limestone and dark green aquatic plants. Of course, there were also many small fish and shrimps.
Lu Qingman suddenly cried out in surprise, "Over there … Look, there's a big fish. What kind of fish is it … It looks like a grass carp, right?" Gao Zixuan looked in the direction of her finger and also cried out, "Yes, there really is a fish. It's so big."
Lu Xing smiled. He looked at the sack of ducks in his hand and said, "Look, if we're lucky today, we can catch a super big fish!"
Suddenly, a person came from afar. He waved at them as he walked, and even shouted something. When Lu Xing saw him, he said, "Our boat is here, haha."
The person who came was Lu Xing's friend. He was the manager of the company that was contracted to develop the Wangye Reservoir. He walked in front of Lu Xing and warmly shook his hand. His eyes swept over An Zengqi, Li Rui, and the others, and then glanced at the sack in Lu Xing's hand. He smiled and said, "You're fighting with that guy? You're provoking it again? "Lu Xing asked," Have you seen it these days? " The person pointed to the location of the reservoir near the mountain and said, "I saw it the day before yesterday. It was right there. I don't know what's wrong with it, but it kept banging into the mountain."
When Li Rui heard this, he was shocked. Good heavens, what kind of monster was that? Banging into the mountain for fun? Not to mention other things, just its skin and flesh alone was very strong. Originally, he thought that it was just a big fish, but now he didn't think so. At the same time, he was a little scared. It even dared to bang into the mountain. What if it banged into the boat that they were on?
Lu Xing exchanged a few words with his friend, and then called An Zengqi and the others to follow him. They walked to the pier at the foot of the mountain in the west. There were five or six boats parked on the ice. Some were made of wood, and some were made of plastic. The bottom of each boat was padded with bricks to prevent them from being frozen when they came into contact with the water.
Lu Qingman pulled Li Rui and whispered, "Don't go on the boat with them. Let's just watch from the shore. It's too dangerous. That water monster even dared to bang into the mountain. What else would it not dare to bang into? " Li Rui smiled and pointed to the boats. He said, "It's okay. Look, those boats are not small, and they're quite sturdy. Nothing will happen. Besides, we have wooden clubs and harpoons in our hands. Can't three big men take care of a big fish? "
Gao Zixuan chimed in, "That's right. Sister Qingman, don't make a fuss about nothing. How can there be a big water monster in this small reservoir? At most, it's just a big fish spirit. I've heard people say that old fishes become more intelligent, but no matter how intelligent they are, can they be more intelligent than humans? "Lu Qingman said in surprise," Big fish spirit? Monster? " Gao Zixuan chuckled and said, "Of course not. It's just an exaggeration. Actually, it means that after a fish lives for a long time, it becomes more intelligent and sneaky. Normal people can't catch it. In fact, it's just a fish. It's just a little bigger, but it's still afraid of people. "Lu Qingman said," But who told you that this guy is a fish? What if it's some other kind of monster? "
An Zengqi turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. There won't be any other monsters here. Because the ecological environment here has determined that there won't be any other monsters. Other monsters won't be able to survive here. "
These people repeatedly persuaded her, so Lu Qingman didn't say anything else. She only told Li Rui to be careful.
The six people came to the dock. The big men used crowbars, ropes, and other tools to push a wooden boat into the water. Lu Xing's friend jumped into the boat first. He unlocked the engine and started the boat. Then, Lu Xing carried the two ducks off the boat. An Zengqi and Li Rui also carried the equipment they brought and jumped onto the boat. The two women stayed on the dock and used the binoculars An Zengqi brought to observe the movements of the four people.
The wooden boat quickly drove into the center of the reservoir with the noise of the engine. It was about seventy to eighty meters away from the shore.
Lu Xing took one of the ducks out of the sack and used two ropes to tie it firmly to the duck's leg. He handed the other end of the rope to An Zengqi. He then took out a knife and cut the duck's leg. Then, he used the duck's blood to mix a small bowl of mixed bait for fishing. Finally, he sprinkled the bait in a radius of about ten meters around the boat. He then put the ducks into the water and set the trap.
Then, he handed the harpoon to Li Rui and taught him how to use it. He opened his backpack and took out a set of equipment and assembled it. When he finished, Li Rui's eyes lit up. Good lord, this little handsome guy is really well-equipped. He even brought a crossbow.
In Lu Xing's hand was a large crossbow that was about one meter long. The wings on both sides of the bow were about one and a half meters long. There was a sharp crossbow arrow with several barbs on it. The arrowhead was almost two inches long and flashed with a grayish-white metallic light, making one's heart palpitate. There was a small hole at the end of the arrow and a safety rope that was not too thick was tied to it. Just by looking at this set of equipment, one could see how much Lu Xing wanted to capture the water monster in the reservoir.
He held the crossbow in his left hand and the butt of the crossbow in his right hand. His index finger was on the trigger. He looked at the water where the duck was with a dignified expression. That expression really looked like a qualified hunter.
Li Rui couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw that Lu Xing looked like he was about to face a great enemy. However, he held back and raised his harpoon, ready to attack at any time.
An Zengqi used a rope to control the "live bait", which was the duck's range of activity. Lu Xing held the heavy crossbow and Li Rui raised the harpoon. They all had their own tasks, but they all prepared for battle at the same time.
Lu Xing's friend sat leisurely at the stern of the boat and smoked. He looked at the three of them with a smile on his face.
"Oh, let me see. How are they?"
On the shore, Gao Zixuan anxiously urged Lu Qingman.
Lu Qingman handed her the binoculars. She rubbed her eyes and shook her head. "No, this binoculars makes me dizzy. I don't want to look."
