There are several residential areas in this vicinity, and there are several vegetable markets, and Han Du went to a vegetable market with a relatively long history, called Xujiawan Vegetable Market, which was built in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and now there are several old residential areas to be demolished.

When Han Du arrived at the Xujiawan vegetable market, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, and it was about to close. He rushed in, and saw the various stall owners packing up their things.

The Xujiawan vegetable market is divided into two floors, the first floor is full of stall owners selling fish and shrimp, as well as chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep and pork, etc., and the second floor is mainly selling vegetables and rice and other things.

"Uncle, bring me ten catties of pork."

The stall owner is a honest uncle in his fifties, and he was very happy to see that there was still a business after the stall was about to close, so he turned out a large piece of pork belly that was not much left on the stall and said: "Young man, this is what I sold today, it is estimated that there are more than ten catties, you can buy them, I will give you a big discount, 12 yuan a catty, how about it?" ”

The price of pork often fluctuates, and the price of pork belly has been sold to fifteen or sixteen yuan recently, so the price of 12 yuan a catty is acceptable.

Han Du was actually not good at bargaining at all, and he didn't know the current price of pork, so he nodded directly and said, "Okay, just do what you say, I'm in a hurry." ”

Uncle Pork immediately began to use his knife to chop this piece of pork belly.

Seeing this, Han Du decisively stopped: "Don't cut it open, I need a whole piece." ”

The uncle was stunned, usually customers will tell them to cut the meat, but Han Du asked for this, he didn't ask anything, and immediately took a big red plastic bag to put the pork belly in it, put it on the electronic scale and weighed it, showing it as 6 kg 3 taels, and there was an automatic amount of 151.2 yuan next to it.

"151.2 yuan, I don't want a fraction, you pay 150 yuan." Uncle Pork glanced at it and said cheerfully.

Han Du nodded, immediately took out his mobile phone, scanned the QR code on the stall, and paid 150 yuan.

Han Du then took the pork handed over by his uncle, and suddenly felt that his hand was sinking, and more than a dozen catties of pork still had a bit of weight.

Leaving the Xujiawan vegetable market with such a large red bag, Han Du did not return to Longxu Lake immediately, but went to a nearby hardware grocery store and bought a thirty-meter-long rope. Originally, he also had ropes in his rental house before, but they were all lost on Huangming Mountain, and speaking of which, he lost a lot of things on Huangming Mountain, and almost lost most of the current equipment of his expedition.

Now the rope he bought has a thumb thickness, excellent load-bearing, according to the shopkeeper said, at least can bear the weight of five or six hundred catties and continue, to say bigger, tie the rope to the roof of the building, hanging a thousand catties of things below will not be easily broken.

Han Du also bought it because he felt that the thumb-thick rope was strong enough, but whether it was really as powerful as the shopkeeper said would have to wait until he encountered a water monster to verify.

Before leaving, Han Du found that there were still harpoons sold in the hardware and grocery store, which were the kind of stainless steel seven-toothed harpoons with very sharp tips and barbs.

Seeing that the price of this seven-toothed big harpoon was only a few dozen yuan, Han Du thought about it, paid for it, and used it as self-defense.

Coming out of here, Han Du didn't go anywhere else, and rushed straight to Longxu Lake.

Han Du still sneaked in from an inconspicuous wood, and appeared on the shore of Longxu Lake, and with a little discernment, he could clearly see the harbor where a large number of ships were moored in the night, and there were several lights around it that illuminated the silhouette of the ships.

He walked there quickly, the pork, rope, and steel fork in his hand weighed him weak, and he wanted to stop and rest several times, but seeing that he was almost at the harbor, he kept gritting his teeth and persevering.

"Whew!"

Han Du finally arrived at Boss Yuan's large yacht, and immediately hid in the shadows under the side of the boat, and let go of the things in his hand with a long sigh of relief, and the soreness on his hands was much better.

At this moment, a small human voice sounded on the shore of the nearby lake, and Han Du immediately shrank in the shadows and held his breath for fear of being discovered, if he was discovered, he would probably be driven away.

It didn't take long for a few mixed voices of men and women to approach, and Han Du recognized that it was Situ Yufeng and Xiao Chen, who approached with flashlights, and they were hiding more attentively at the moment.

Fortunately, this time Situ Yufeng and the others didn't notice Han Du's position, and walked over with a smile.

Han Du breathed a sigh of relief and sat down in the shadows, feeling that it was a trouble to have them patrolling here, because he was going to drive the yacht to the center of the lake in a while, and that movement would most likely attract the attention of Situ Yufeng and them.

But now he can't care so much, the arrow is on the bow, he has to send it, anyway, he only needs to catch the water monster within an hour to complete the task, and even if he is discovered by Situ Yufeng and them, he is not afraid.

After Situ Yufeng and the others walked away, Han Du immediately got up, first threw the pork, rope, and steel fork onto the deck, and then turned over on the deck.

He went to open the driver's door again, and moved the nets and batteries out of the storage compartment, and he already had an idea of how to use them.

However, the mission time was not yet at this moment, so he sat on the deck and rested, took out a cigarette and smoked it.

Han Du hadn't finished smoking a cigarette, and he always felt that something was wrong, and after a while, he suddenly jumped up and exclaimed in his heart: "Oops, the leopard hasn't come back yet!" ”

Han Du ran to the side of the boat to look around the shore, but he didn't see any trace of the leopard, it had just led away Situ Yufeng and them, and now it might not be able to find a way back, because it was abandoned here in Guqing City, which means that it definitely didn't live here before.

Han Du suddenly felt a little blamed in his heart, the leopard had become a stray dog again, he knew that the taste must be uncomfortable.

He wanted to go and retrieve the leopard now, but when he looked at the time on his phone, it was already 8:53, and he couldn't leave at all.

There was no way, Han Du could only put aside these distractions for the time being and start preparing things.

He first spread out the thumb-thick rope in a circle, and firmly tied a large piece of pork with a rope, but the role of this rope was much more than that, Han Du also wanted to use the rope to make a small trap that could bind the water monster, and he would need to go into the water at that time.

In addition, he went to check the battery again, and roughly measured the length of the two wires fixed on it, which was more than ten meters, which was enough for him.

When the time comes, he wants to arrange the two wires in the water as well, and in case the water monster is so powerful that the rope can't control it, he will use a battery to "relax" it.

At that time, fishing nets and harpoons might also be used.
