Chapter 241: Take a Look at the Reservoir

"Uncle, how can this work, it doesn't cost much money, this time I bought a lot of bags of 'Beijing City Roast Duck' and came back." Yun Tao said.

"Okay, Uncle will accept it, let Ergou break the bank." Yun Changde said.

"Uncle, look at what you said, this time you helped me run the reservoir contract, so I was very happy, I don't know how to thank you." Yun Tao said.

"Hehe, the family won't talk to each other, that second dog, you shouldn't have been to our village reservoir for a long time." Yun Changde smiled happily.

"Yes, I haven't been to our reservoir since our village was moved down from the mountain, and it's been fifteen or six years."

Yuntao thought for a while and said, when they used to live in the mountains, Yuntao and his group of children liked to go to the reservoir to play the most, where the environment was beautiful and they could see a lot of small animals.

Sometimes Yuntao would make fishing rods out of bamboo poles and sewing needles, go to the reservoir to fish, stay for an afternoon, and every time he went back, he could catch a dozen or so many fish, enough to improve his food for several days.

However, Yuntao's parents usually don't agree with Yuntao to go to the reservoir to play, for fear that Yuntao's children will go to the reservoir to play dangerously, and Yuntao will secretly hide from his parents or go in groups of three or five people.

"Then let's go and see it first, and then talk about signing the contract."

Yun Changda said, after all, his nephew has not been to the reservoir for more than ten years, so take him to see the good spots, the reservoir has changed a little in the past ten years, needless to say, the path that he used to walk on. Now it's all overgrown with weeds. The road is not easy to walk.

If your eldest nephew wants to contract. The first thing to do is to weed and build roads, after all, the person who contracted the reservoir only found someone to repair the road casually, and did not use cement to pour it, and now there are many places that have been washed away by rain.

Now let my eldest nephew take a look, so that he can be mentally prepared, whether to contract this reservoir or not, if he wants to contract. This investment is a bit large, no matter what, everyone is their own family, and they can't deceive their own people.

"Okay, shall we go now?"

Yun Tao asked, Yun Tao also really wanted to see this reservoir in his village, after all, there used to be a lot of laughter there.

"Okay, let's go see now, if it's appropriate. Tomorrow we will go to the county seat to sign the contract, if you feel bad. Let's not sign this contract. Yun Changde said.

"Okay, let's drive now." Yun Tao said.

Yuntao has "super driving skills" in the body, the skills of driving the battery car are also very powerful, driving the uncle's battery car, with the uncle, less than ten minutes the car along the village road on the halfway up the mountainside, the reservoir is in the position of this halfway mountainside, from the side of a machine farming road turn in, you can get to the dam of the reservoir.

After all, this road has not been overhauled for more than ten years, many places have collapsed, and there are many weeds that are taller than people, and it is difficult for people to pass, let alone cars.

Yuntao couldn't figure out why the previous few people who contracted the reservoir didn't build the road, but Yuntao just thought about it and didn't think about it anymore, after all, this is no longer important to him.

I want to contract this reservoir, it is estimated that I will spend tens of thousands of yuan to complete this road, and if I want to pass the car in the future, I must invest more than 100,000 yuan to repair this road, Yuntao is a little depressed, and I have to invest more than 100,000 yuan, this money is not easy to earn, it is really good to spend.

Yuntao didn't know about the road, it wasn't that the previous few people who contracted the reservoir were unwilling to build this road, but they were really losing money when contracting this reservoir, and they didn't earn a penny, and even their old capital was lost, so how could they still be in the mood to repair this broken road.

The two got out of the car, found a stick, pushed away the tall weeds all the way, and it took more than half an hour for the two to reach the dam of the reservoir, and if the road was good, it would take almost ten minutes to get there.

The reservoir in Yuntao Village is called Taoling Reservoir, which is named after the name of Yuntao Village, after all, this is a small rural reservoir, which was built collectively by the people in the village, so it was named according to the name of the village.

The Taoling Reservoir is a product of the Great Leap Forward in the 60s, which was formed by taking advantage of the mountainous terrain and enclosing a long embankment between the mountains to store water.

At that time, it was still a commune system, and in order to solve the problem of insufficient water for irrigation in the fields of the mountain village, the men, women and children of the whole village at that time fought for more than a year, without relying on any machinery, only relying on their shoulders, and built such a dike with a length of nearly 20 meters, a width of nearly 10 meters, and a length of 60 meters between the barren mountains and mountains.

Yuntao stood on top of this majestic embankment, and couldn't help but sigh, the strength of the people in that era was really great, relying on everyone's hands, without technology and equipment, to build such a large reservoir, you must know that the reservoir of Langdao was built completely by the strength of a village, and it did not cost the government any money.

From Taoling Village down, the irrigation area of Taoling Reservoir has been extended to more than ten kilometers away, it is an extremely important water conservancy project in the whole Xiaotao Township, but the reservoir is in the inaccessible mountains, in addition to the people of this village, many people from other places have only heard the name of the reservoir, but have never seen the true face of the reservoir.

There are several small houses in the willow forest on the dam, which were built by the previous contractor of the reservoir, because he did not continue to contract the reservoir after the contract expired, and these small houses are left behind, but they have not been inhabited for several years, and the houses are very dilapidated.

Yuntao decided to wait for the completion of the reservoir contracting procedures, so he asked someone to tidy up these houses and temporarily give them to the workers who helped him build them, and after the construction on his reservoir was completed, Yuntao asked someone to demolish these houses.

"Hehe, Ergou, look there."

Yun Changda suddenly whispered to Yun Tao, looking a little excited, and pointed to a bush not far from the reservoir dam.

"Hare."

Yun Tao was stunned, only to see two gray hares squatting in the grass, I didn't expect to be able to see two hares as soon as I came, this luck is too good, Yun Tao remembers that he still lived in the mountains, but often with children, catch pheasants, catch rabbits, pick wild mushrooms, that time is still fascinating in retrospect.

"Ergou, you go this way, I'll go that way, let's slowly get closer and catch them."

Yun Changde gestured with his hand and whispered to Yun Tao, he hadn't hunted a hare for decades, Yun Changde could see two big hares at once, and he was very excited in his heart, and he couldn't help but itch his hands to catch these two hares.

"It's good."

Yun Tao whispered, and lightly approached the position of the hare, in fact, it was very simple for Yun Tao to catch these two hares, as long as he performed the "Ling Bo Microstep".

However, Yun Tao didn't want to do this, first, he didn't want the uncle to know that he would be so powerful in martial arts, and second, if he caught the rabbit all at once by relying on "Ling Bo Weibu", there would be no fun, Yun Tao still wanted to catch this hare as before, it was best to catch it, and there was no pity if he didn't catch it.

The two of them slowly approached the position of the hare, and they were about to catch the hare at a distance of three or five, and Yun Tao and Yun Changde were very excited.

"Poof."

Yun Tao was stunned, he didn't expect the rabbits to react so quickly, and he was about to catch the two gray rabbits, but they ran away.

"It's a pity, I'm almost caught, if only there were shotguns, but unfortunately farmers are not allowed to have shotguns now."

Yun Changde was a little regretful, thinking that he would take a shotgun and point where to hit it, compared to ten meters or thirty meters, but unfortunately the country took it a few years ago, and now there is no shotgun in the village.

However, they didn't catch the hare, which made the two of them a little regretful, but with a warm spring breeze and a walk through the green mountains and green waters, the regret dissipated after a while.

Yun Tao and Yun Changde walked over to the edge of the reservoir, ready to take advantage of this afternoon to investigate the entire reservoir, the mountains and forests are always lively, the two did not take a few steps, suddenly a weasel sprang out of the grass, yellow, orange and orange, flashed into the bushes.

In the past, people called weasels Wong Tai Sin, many people didn't dare to say their names, for fear of finding themselves, those weasels attached to the story, Yun Tao didn't listen to it when he was a child, every time he was scared and screamed, now it's quite interesting to think about.

Yun Tao remembered reading in a book that if a man saved a weasel, then he would have good luck in this life, but his second generation would suffer.

If a person harms a weasel, then he will start to have bad luck in this life, that is, it is bad luck to meet a weasel.

"It's really unlucky, how did you come across this thing in the reservoir."

Yun Changde said with a somewhat ugly face, after all, the older generation is more superstitious, and when he goes out to meet "Wong Tai Sin", it means that he is going to have bad luck recently.

"Hehe, Uncle doesn't have anything, maybe no one has come near our reservoir for a long time, and these wild things have begun to multiply, and it's normal to meet 'Wong Tai Sin'." Yun Tao said.

"Otherwise, you might as well not contract this reservoir."

Yun Changde said with some unease, after all, when he came to see the reservoir, it was not a good sign to meet this "Wong Tai Sin".

"Hehe, Uncle is not as mysterious as you think, in fact, this weasel is not a bad thing, they eat a lot of mice a year, and their bodies are full of treasures, fur, and even the meat thrown away by people is also a kind of medicinal herb."

Yun Tao said to his uncle what he saw in the book, Yun Tao would not give up contracting the reservoir just because he met a weasel. (To be continued......)
