Chapter 11: The Earthen Artillery Battle (Part II)

Because in recent years, the net fishing has not been allowed, the fish in the reservoir are obviously a lot more, after the three earthen cannons are thrown down, the fish in the water area within a radius of fifty or sixty meters are almost stunned and floated to the surface, the fat man just closed his eyes and fished with a net, and the net did not fail.

"Wang ...... Woo ......"

Just when the fat man was busy wanting to have two more hands, there was a dog barking from the village in the distance, and then the light of several flashlights lit up with the sound of people talking.

"Fatty, someone is coming, hurry up and row back, don't want the rest of the fish......"

Seeing this situation, San Pao hurriedly lowered his voice and shouted, he knew that the past few years have not been the same as before, if he is caught, the fine is a trivial matter, and maybe he will be locked up for a few years.

"It's okay, it's going to take a while for them to come over......"

The fat man was talking, and his hands were not idle, and he used a copy net to catch a big carp weighing seven or eight catties to the boat, and then rowed over to the shore where Fang Yi and the others were.

Then ...... rowed the boat to the shore, and the fat man handed the fish basket first, and judging from the way he carried the fish basket with his two hands, the weight of the basket was not light.

"Dead fat man, this basket is a hundred and ten pounds, and I'm not afraid that we can take it back if we load so much?" The strength of the three guns is much smaller than that of the fat man, as soon as the two hands took the basket, his body fell suddenly, if he didn't react quickly, I'm afraid even his waist would have flashed.

In the past, when they threw earth cannons or went down to catch fish, they would put their bicycles on the shore, catch the fish and put them on the car to take away, but now the brothers are coming over, and the three cannons don't have so much effort to get the fish back.

"I'll come, let's go quickly......" Fang Yi stretched out his hand and took the fish basket, compared to the firewood that had to be cut every day on the mountain, the weight of these fish was really nothing, and as soon as his arms were forced, he picked up the two fish baskets.

"Brother Yi hasn't done anything like stealing chickens and dogs, what are you afraid of......" The fat man jumped ashore from the boat, glanced at the place where the lights were on, and said: "Let's take a few more steps and just diverge from them, don't worry, even if you catch it, it's fine......"

Between the village and the reservoir is a large cornfield, and the corn stalks have grown to half a person's height, a little shorter, not to mention three people, even thirty people hiding in it are inconspicuous.

The fat man led the way in front, and sure enough, he easily bypassed the people who came to check the movement, and after more than ten minutes, the three of them returned to the house of the three guns.

"Hehe, you two sit, I'll go and burn a big carp first, so that you two can taste my handiwork......" Before he could sit down in the house, the fat man took out the largest carp from the basket, this carp was very old, and the scales at the tail of the fish had turned red.

"Fat man, wait for now, you better take a basket of fish to the hiding house first......" San Pao stretched out his hand to stop the fat man.

"Why are you hiding?" The fat man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said: "It's also hot this day, and I'll marinate it with salt after I finish eating, otherwise it will spoil the day after tomorrow at most......."

The small two-hundred-pound fish, even if Fang Yi and the others let go of their belly to eat, they would not be able to eat it in ten days and a half months, the fat man had already planned to leave a few fresh ones to eat on the same day, and the rest were all dried with salt to make pickled fish, and they couldn't be broken even if they were hung in the house for a summer.

"Pickle a fart!" San Pao pursed his lips and said angrily: "Fatty, let's make a bet, won't ......you make a bet?"

"Hey, how did I forget this stubble...... the fat man patted his head, smiled bitterly, and said: "Yes, this basket should be regarded as honoring them, I will hide this basket first, and they will take away all the provinces......"

"Peng Sanjun, you stinky boy come out for me......"

Wei Dahu came faster than Peng Sanjun said, and before ten minutes later, Wei Dahu's shout sounded outside the courtyard, and then the courtyard door made of wooden planks was kicked open.

"Oh, Uncle Wei, why are you here in the middle of the night?" As soon as the third cannon went out, the beams of three or four flashlights hit his face, and he covered his eyes with his hands.

"You kid don't talk nonsense with me, did you go to the edge of the reservoir to fry fish just now?" Wei Dahu snorted coldly, pushed away the three cannons and walked into the hall.

"Third uncle, I'...... We didn't fry fish, yes...... It's going fishing......" Sanpao turned around and followed, he didn't expect to be able to hide the fishy smell of this yard at all.

"Sixth brother, you put on this uniform, I almost didn't recognize it......" After entering the house, Sanpao found that the person in the uniform was the fat man's cousin, and his heart was suddenly put down, and he took out a cigarette with a smile and put one on each of him and Wei Dahu.

"Three guns, you kid is a soldier before, and you won't stop when you come back, don't you know if you won't let the fish be fried?" The sixth brother took the cigarette and said angrily: "Listen to my third master about this matter, he wants to hand it over to the police station, and none of you can escape......

"Sixth brother, did you really go fishing, maybe someone else blew it up, right?" Although Wei Dahu's son is also one of the main culprits, he can't stand Wei Dahu in case he kills his relatives in righteousness, so he hasn't been caught anyway, and the three guns will not admit it.

"Don't let the mountain go, except for the gunpowder in your house, who still has that thing?" The sixth brother stretched out his hand and slapped the back of the head of the third gun, he was also a little annoyed in his heart, because he should be on duty today, in case the matter was poked out, the clothes of the joint defense team would be stripped off.

"Huazi, you kid get out of here......" Wei Dahu didn't pay attention to the three cannons, but shouted at the back room, he knew his son's temperament, if he didn't have him, maybe his son would still be the mastermind.

"Dad, brother, fourth uncle......"

Before Wei Dahu's words fell, the fat man came out of the back room, and when he saw a few people who came, his heart was also put down, except for his father and cousin, the rest of the people were his own fourth uncle, and the fat man didn't believe that they would send him to the police station.

"Stinky boy, don't do serious things, you can run fast in this crooked way......" Seeing his son, Wei Dahu was angry, although he also fried fish in his own house in the early years, but now it's not allowed, as the village head, he still has to lead by example.

"Dad, it's not like Fang Yi is going down the mountain, let's get some fish for him to eat......"

The house is full of his own family, and the fat man is not afraid, and said with a smile: "There are seventy or eighty catties, we will keep one, and you can take the rest, not to mention, the fish in this reservoir are getting fatter and fatter......"

"Uncle Wei, this ......"

Hearing the fat man mention his name, Fang Yi was embarrassed to hide in the house, scratched his head and walked out, and said, "Uncle Wei, I'm causing you trouble, I want to ...... Otherwise, we bought these fish, and Master left me some money......"

"Come on, your master has the money to buy wine, how much can you leave for you?"

Wei Dahu waved his hand, but when he saw Fang Yi, his tone also softened, after all, the people in the village all inherited the affection of the old Taoist, and the old Taoist priest treated people back then, but he didn't even confiscate the money for the herbs.

"Ahem, stay ...... Left more than a hundred ......"

Wei Dahu's words made Fang Yi more and more embarrassed, as Wei Dahu said, the old Taoist priest almost had no wine at every meal, and the monkey didn't have enough wine to drink, so he went to the bottom of the mountain to buy wine, and left Fang Yi with more than a hundred yuan behind him.

"Fang Yi, I think you should do something serious......"

Wei Dahu sat on the chair, thought for a while, looked at his son, and said: "That's it, I'll go back and call your second uncle later, you three boys will go to the city for me tomorrow, and honestly work on your second uncle's construction site first, if you dare to run, I'll break your legs when you come back......"

In the past, it was not a matter to go to the reservoir to fry a fish, but this year, I grasped it tightly, and the two people in Liujia Village next to him were sentenced to intercept the water from the reservoir last year, Wei Dahu was really afraid that the three brothers would stay in the village and fry a fish every once in a while, and he would not be able to protect them at that time.

"Going to work on the construction site?" After hearing his father's words, the fat man's neck couldn't help but stiffen, he would rather grow crops at home than do that job.

"Uncle Wei, okay, go, let's go tomorrow......" Without waiting for the fat man to speak, Sancang stabbed the fat man with his elbow in the back, and said: "Uncle Wei, you leave a phone call for us, and we will go into the city to find the second uncle tomorrow morning......"

"They are all going to be soldiers, you see how sensible the three armies are......" Hearing Peng Sanjun's words, Wei Dahu nodded, and after smacking his son's head, he picked up the basket of fish that the fat man had just taken out.

"It's really not light, Xiaoliu, let's take a hand...... "Although Wei Dahu is in the prime of life, this basket of fish is seventy or eighty pounds, and although he can carry it with one hand, he can't walk.

"Uncle Wei, I'll take it to the door for you......" Peng Sanjun smiled like a dog and sent Wei Dahu and a few people to the courtyard gate, and after a few people walked away, he closed the courtyard door and returned to the house.

"Sancang, you go to the construction site, I won't go anyway......" As soon as Peng Sanjun entered the house, he saw the fat man's gloomy face that could drip water.

"Who said they were going to the construction site?"

"Didn't you just say yes?"

"If I don't agree, can Uncle Wei spare you?"

Sanpao said with a wicked smile: "Let's agree first, and when we get back to the city, I'll find a way, and I'll definitely find a job for my brothers to make money and save face, but let's talk about the front, I don't have any money on me, and you have to pay ...... for the journey."

"Look at your little bit of talent...... the fat man pointed to the back room and said, "There are two old turtles in that basket of fish, go back into the city and find a place to sell them, enough for our third brother to spend some time in the city......"

Frying fish is different from fishing under the net, a clay cannon battle can blow up four or five meters of water with silt several meters out of the water, so it is not uncommon to collapse a few old turtles under the water, and the two that the fat man fished up, almost each of them weighs three catties, and can be sold for one or two thousand yuan in the city.
