The first stop of this expedition was the Gangnan Reservoir. The reservoir is located in Gangnan Town, Pingshan County, Hebei Province, and was built by damming the Hutuo River, upstream in Shanxi Province. This reservoir was built in the late 60s of the last century, mainly for flood control, water supply and irrigation, the reservoir area is very large, and there are many attached small reservoirs around, which is the main source of drinking water in Shijiazhuang area.

The reason why Hong Tao made his first stop here is mainly because he had come here to fish in his previous life, around 2011, and it had become a drinking water protection area in Shijiazhuang City, so fishing was prohibited in most reservoir areas.

The reason why Hong Tao was able to go fishing in the Gangnan Reservoir that time was because a netizen he met on the fishing net helped dredge the relationship, and a group of four people drove more than 300 kilometers and ran here to fish for 5 days, but the result was not ideal.

It's not because there are no fish in the reservoir, or because they don't fish in the right way. The main reason for the unsatisfactory catch was that there was a severe drought in the lower reaches of the reservoir that year, and the reservoir was urgently releasing water into the lower reaches of the river, causing the water level to drop a lot every day.

The fish in the water were frightened and ran to the deep water to take refuge, at this time, no matter how much bait you use, those fish will not eat, just like us humans, when an earthquake occurs, most of them are in a hurry to hide and flee, and very few people will think about which good restaurant to rub a meal.

Of course, Hong Tao and they didn't catch nothing that time, and there were still a few small and medium-sized fish, which shows that whether it is a fish or a person, there are relatively 2 types in it.

Although the catch was not ideal, Hong Tao was very satisfied with the environment and water quality. And he asked the local villagers, and proved that the reservoir has not been cleared, and the annual fishing is not very serious. Therefore, Hong Tao thinks that there must be a big guy here, and it is just that the time is wrong if he didn't catch it this time, and he will definitely have a big harvest if he finds a suitable time to fish in the future.

However, this netizen suddenly lost contact with him, so Hong Tao and they never had the opportunity to enter the Gangnan Reservoir to fish again. This regret is just now to make up for it.

Hong Tao and his entourage of two cars, from the Beijing-Hong Kong Expressway all the way to the south, straight to Shijiazhuang, and then from Shijiazhuang to the west turn onto the S301 provincial highway, driving about 60 kilometers, you can arrive at the Gangnan Reservoir. However, this road Hongtao did not walk in his previous life, when the G5 Beijing-Kunming Expressway Beijing to Shijiazhuang section has been completed and opened, Hongtao they are from the Beijing-Kunming Expressway to the S071 Xibaipo Expressway directly to the reservoir, that road has fewer cars, and the road condition is good. It's easier to walk.

However, at this time, G5 and S071 have not yet been built, Hong Tao can only rely on the map and car navigation blindfolded, so the speed is not high, plus the service station halfway into the path to inquire about the path, when the real arrival at the main dam of Gangnan Reservoir, it is already 11 o'clock at noon.

Standing next to the dam, they can see part of the reservoir, this reservoir is indeed not small, about 2 kilometers wide from east to west. The north and south chiefs don't know the road, and it's beyond the visible range of the naked eye.

"Gail, isn't this a different lake from your hometown?" After Hong Tao stopped, everyone got out of the car to breathe and move their bodies. Gale was holding a camera to photograph the reservoir's main dam, apparently more interested in the artificial facility.

"Oh, it's different, the mountains are higher here. There are fewer trees, but I don't understand, we don't have boats. How to go fishing inside? Gail put down his camera and pointed to the shadow of the mountain in the distance.

"Hehe, then you will know the way, we usually don't use boats for fishing here, let's get in the car, let's go find a fishing spot first." Hong Tao smoked a cigarette, and then beckoned everyone to get into the car, to here, he already has a memory, in the previous life they stayed at the opposite bank of the reservoir, there are almost more than ten miles to catch, the provincial road here is not very good, it is estimated that it will take about 1 hour to drive there.

Hong Tao's chosen fishing spot is on the northwest bank of the Gangnan Reservoir, where there is a small village called Xipo Village, not too far from the road. The shore here is gentle, the water depth is suitable, and the main thing is that cars can be driven directly to the water's edge, and there is a dirt road that crosses the middle of the village to the shore. In this way, Hong Tao's RV can come in handy, no need to set up a tent, no need to prepare a stove, everything in the RV.

When two large RVs passed through this small village, many people ran out of the village and stood in front of their respective courtyard gates to watch the excitement, although there are sometimes cars passing here, but the two big ones still make the villagers very curious.

"Tao, this is also a reservation?" Harrison leaned on the window and looked out, then suddenly turned back and asked Hong Tao through the connecting window of the car.

"No, this is an ordinary small village in China, neither rich nor poor, most of the countryside is like this." Hong Tao understood what Harrison meant, he felt that it was a bit shabby, and it was too far from big cities like Beijing and Shijiazhuang, and in his mind, only Indian reservations would be like this.

"For what are the old people, women and children?" Harrison looked at it quite carefully.

"People in the prime of life have gone to work in the city to earn money, and they only come back when the farming is busy." Hong Tao didn't have time to explain to him much, the dirt roads in this village were very narrow, and the RVs were wide and long, and he rarely drove such a big car, and now his eyes are not enough.

Compared with Hong Tao's first car, the attitude of the RV driven by Liu Gang behind is much more comfortable, that Liu Gang is not a car soldier, after entering the village, he quickly chased behind Hong Tao's ass, and almost walked away with Hong Tao, so angry that Hong Tao shouted in the car radio to let him stay away.

After a long day's effort, Hong Tao finally got the car out of the village safely, and after passing through a low fruit forest, the front suddenly opened up, and a large green river beach appeared in front of him, like a football field that had expanded more than ten times, and it was so comfortable to look at.

"Boom ......" just when Hong Tao was still lingering in the beautiful scenery, there was a sudden roar around him, and then I saw a square gray guy rushing out of the left side of his car.

"Quick...... Fast...... Hong Tao, come on, catch up with him!! "Erin next to her is crazy again, if it weren't for the seat belt, she would have kicked Hong Tao aside and then she would drive.

"Safety, pay attention to safety, in case there is a puddle in front, we will be in trouble if we fall into it, don't learn from that Liu Gang, didn't you listen to Boss Liu scolding him for being a bear child!" Hong Tao really had no bottom in his heart, and he didn't dare to drive this big guy so crazy, but he was embarrassed to admit that his driving skills were too trendy, so he had to take Boss Liu's words out as a shield.

"Didn't you say this is an all-terrain vehicle? There are also a few differential locks or something, how can you say that they are so high-tech, and they don't work when you use them? Erin still didn't give up and began to find fault with Hong Tao.

"Shut up for me, and then talk nonsense that I sold you to the village just now to be a little wife for others!" Hong Tao really had nothing to say, so he had to start playing bastards.

"Hmph, if you want me to open it, let's change it, since you left Beijing, you said that you will let me open it for a while, let me open it for a while, it's been a day, it's my turn." Erin's two-hundred-and-five-hundred-and-a-half boss came up, unbuckling her seatbelt as she spoke, intending to seize power.

"Hey, I'm grumpy, sit down for me! When we came out, we said okay, you have to listen to me on the way, you don't even have a driver's license, stay honest with me, isn't it Harrison, you should consciously abide by the law wherever you go! As soon as Hong Tao saw that Erin was about to make a move, he hurried to move the rescuers, and Harrison was sitting in the back, the bearded man was more rigid than Pavey and Gail, and he recognized death.

"Erin, don't mess with Tao, the road conditions here are not good, and you don't have a driver's license, so let Hong Tao drive." Harrison did as Hong Tao wished, and made a voice of justice.

"Humph! ......" Erin saw that she was weak, so she had to sit back in her seat, re-fasten her seat belt, and then turned her head away from Hong Tao with a grunt.

"Ha Lu Ha, Irene, look, look, what am I talking about, Liu Gang's bear child is in trouble again, he drove the car into the pit!" Hong Tao ignored Erin and continued to drive unhurriedly, moving along the grass ruts pressed out by Liu Gang's front car. (To be continued......)
