Chapter 50: The Reservoir Turmoil

Wu Hai is a fish farmer who has been farming fish for 40 years.

He is fifty-seven years old this year, and he is about to retire, but he doesn't want to retire so soon, having dealt with fish for half his life.

Over the years, relying on fish farming, the poor and white family has become a small asset, and the family's money is basically exchanged for fish in the reservoir, and he has a relationship with the fish.

Last year, I discussed with my son, who had just been working for a short time, to expand my reservoir a little more, and the embankments on both sides of the reservoir were also reinforced.

In addition, he also built a dozen pavilions on the embankment according to his son's wishes, preparing to attract people to come and fish.

In another half a month, he will put out the slogan and start opening for business.

Every once in a while, Wu Hai would paddle across the reservoir in a small boat, sometimes to put fish food on the fish in the reservoir, and sometimes to simply watch the fish.

Watching the swimming fish swim in his hands, he was sincerely happy.

Crash!

At this time, there was a sudden splash of water in front of him, Wu Hai glanced over there, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

He knew it was a fish jubilant in the water.

He was about to look away and look elsewhere, but at this moment, the expression on his face suddenly froze.

He noticed something was wrong.

On the surface of the water that had splashed before, there seemed to be a little red, and he was shocked, and hurriedly rowed the boat towards that side.

When he came to that place, Wu Hai's expression became awe-inspiring.

I saw that on this water surface, a trace of scarlet blood was particularly eye-catching.

"Blood?"

Wu Hai raised his head and looked around, but he didn't notice anything unusual, and there was no ripple on the calm water, as if nothing had ever happened.

He frowned and tried to look down the water, but it was too deep for him to see the bottom.

At the moment, the sky is dark, and the wide, calm water looks gloomy, especially in a slightly farther place.

And because the reservoir is so deep that it is impossible to see the situation in the clear water, it always reminds people of whether there will be some unknown and terrifying creatures under the invisible waters, which gives people a sense of oppression.

Wu Hai sat alone in a small boat, docked in the center of this wide water, and looked underwater with his head hooked, his expression was relaxed, and he did not show nervousness.

After so many years of fish farming, he has long been accustomed to this working environment.

The sudden appearance of blood in the water was not the first time he had encountered it, and he had encountered this situation in his previous experience.

In one case, a half-meter-long squid appeared in the reservoir, which is a large, freshwater economic fish with fast growth, large size, and delicious meat.

There are also many farmers who grow this fish.

However, in Wuhai's reservoir, this kind of fish has never been raised, and he has always cultivated herbivorous fish species such as grass carp and bream.

Suddenly, a squid appeared in the reservoir, which startled Wu Haidu at that time.

The squid is a ferocious carnivorous species that feeds on other fish and has a long lifespan, sometimes reaching more than a meter in size.

The devil knows how that carp got into the reservoir.

Maybe it was still when he was still fry, in the windy and rainy weather, or maybe it was something else.

At that time, Wu Hai saw that this squid was hunting a grass carp of more than ten centimeters, and in the process of swallowing, there were blood stains on the grass carp, which happened to be discovered by him.

With great effort, he finally fished the carp.

Could it be that this time, there are squid in the reservoir again?

Thinking of this, Wu Hai's brows furrowed.

If that's the case, it's a nuisance, and it's not easy to catch a fish from a reservoir so big.

The last time he encountered that carp, he started his plan to sell fish in advance, using the floating fishing nets he bought to catch all the fish in the reservoir.

That's when I caught the squid.

Is it going to happen again this time?

But his fishing pavilion has just been built and is about to open, if there are no fish in the reservoir, then it will be a fart.

Wu Hai stood up straight from the boat, let out a long breath in his mouth, and a trace of sadness could not help but appear on his face.

But then he rowed his oars and headed toward the shore, pensive.

What he didn't see was that under the surface of the water where he had stayed before, a terrifying python five meters and five long was staring at his departing back.

In fact, when Wu Hai hooked his head and looked under the water before, the five-meter-five giant python under the water was staring at him.

And this giant python is naturally Fang Yun.

He was the one who made the previous movement.

At that time, a bream came to his side, and then he attacked, but because this bream was a bit big, he struggled several times after being bitten by it, so it splashed on the surface of the water, which attracted Wu Hai's attention.

This was not the result he wanted.

He should have hunted quietly, as he thought, but there was nothing to say about such an accident, and besides, this little thing would not cause any great disturbance.

After Wu Hai went home, he thought about it and finally decided to pay more attention to the situation on the other side of the reservoir in the past few days, and try his luck to see if he could catch that carp.

And in the next few days, Wu Hai basically stayed on the side of the reservoir, which was a bit painful for Fang Yun.

Originally, he planned to start the crazy hunting mode during this time, but it was not easy to take action with Wu Hai staring at him.

And a few times when he was hunting, he was almost discovered by Wu Hai.

This old man in his fifties has real thief eyes.

When Fang Yun was depressed, Wu Hai was also depressed.

By now he could be sure that his reservoir was in trouble.

Five times in the course of a few days, he had seen a surge of water on the surface, and he knew that it was a fish struggling underwater.

Once, when a current of water was rising from under the water, he saw a line of water swimming in the distance.

Below the waterline, it should be the culprit who devoured his own fish.

At that time, Wu Hai immediately chased out with a small boat, but the waterline disappeared quickly, and it should be that the murderer sank to the bottom.

However, there is also a difference from what I thought in advance.

At the beginning, Wu Hai thought that there was a squid in his reservoir, but now it seems that this is probably not the case, will the squid hunt be so frequent?

Just by seeing it, that murderer hunted five times, so how many times did it hunt when he didn't see it?

Now he suspects that there are several carnivorous fish in the reservoir.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain that their fish are frequently preded.

Wu Hai stayed in the small boat almost all day, with fishing nets on board, ready to try his luck and see if he could catch the few carnivorous fish in the reservoir.

And because of Wu Hai's abnormal behavior, the trouble encountered by their family's reservoir also spread in the village.

Later, several villagers said that when they passed by the reservoir, they saw fish rolling in the reservoir, and one villager said that they saw blood coming out of the water.

This kind of somewhat mysterious rumor made Wu Hai's reservoir the center of conversation in the village.

Everyone was speculating about what exactly appeared in the Wuhaijia Reservoir, and some people said that it was a few fish species such as squid or black fish.

Some people say that it will look like some big turtle in the animal world.

There are also suspicions that the reservoir is filled with piranhas.

And after this last argument was proposed, it immediately became popular in the village.

The reason why this is so is related to a TV series that is being screened.
