"Let's go, move quickly after a while. Let's come back with these two baskets of fish..." Sanpao took out two fish baskets from behind the door, carrying the fish basket in one hand and carrying the bag on his shoulder with the other. His movements seemed very skillful.

"Isn't it enough to bring one?" Fang Yi took a fish basket and asked in confusion, because he found that the two fish baskets were about one meter high, so there was absolutely no problem with loading dozens of kilograms of fish.

"Hehe, since it's done, why don't you catch more fish?" Sanpao laughed and said, "Let's go to the city and bring some for my father and others. The fish sold in the city are fed to feed, and they are not delicious at all..."

"So that's the case..." Fang Yi nodded when he heard this. When he was with Sanpao and Fatty, he said less. This is because Fang Yi knew that he knew too little about the world and could only learn something if he talked less and listened less.

"Hey, wait, bring this bottle of wine with you..." When the few people were about to go out, the fat man reached out and put the remaining bottle of wine on the table in his arms, and then followed Fang Yi and headed towards the reservoir.

The reservoir is about one mile away from Weijia Village. It takes only a few minutes to get there during the day. However, it is dark at night and there are no street lights. The three of them walked for about ten minutes before they arrived at the edge of the reservoir.

"Is the reservoir at the foot of the mountain so big?" Fang Yi was stunned when he saw the lake water with layers of silver ripples under the moonlight. Although he had never been down the mountain until now, he could see the reservoir at the foot of the mountain on the mountain.

It was just that the distance on the mountain was too far, and this reservoir did not appear very large in Fang Yi's eyes. However, when he came to Fang Yi, he realized that the reservoir that used to be like a small pond was now out of sight, far beyond Fang Yi's imagination.

"This place was originally a lake, but a reservoir was built later..."

Seeing Fang Yi's look of astonishment, the fat man explained with a smile, pointed to the lake and said, "The older generation in the village said that this lake has never been done before. The deepest place is forty or fifty meters. In the early years, someone had caught big fish more than one meter long from it..."

"Okay, fat man, don't talk nonsense..." Sanpao interrupted the fat man's words and said angrily: "Didn't you say no one is guarding me? Why are the lights in the room over there still on?"

"Huh?" Hearing Sanpao's words, Fang Yi and Fatty looked at the several small bungalows built on the edge of the reservoir more than fifty meters away. Sure enough, one of the rooms was still on.

"No, they should go back..." The fat man scratched his head, turned to look at Fang Yi, and said, "Brother Yi, you are light-hearted, go and see if there are anyone in the room? I suspect they were afraid of people coming to check, so they deliberately turned on the light..."

"Okay, I'll go and have a look first..." Fang Yi nodded, lowered his body and touched the room. A few minutes later, Fang Yi's head rose up beside the window of the house with lights on, and waved to Fatty and Sanpao.

"I'll just say there's no one..." The fat man relaxed all over and smiled proudly. He walked to the houses with Sanpao and said, "It's good now, even a boat is there, so it won't be better for Fatty, I'll go into the water to catch fish..."

Although it was almost summer, the lake water was still very cold at night. The fat man just put the bottle of bad wine in the house, probably just wanted to take a few sips before getting into the water.

"Let's go, let's stay away from this room, I know where there are more fish..."

Sanpao looked around and said, "Fatty, go row the boat, Brother Yi and I will throw the firecrackers. After the three firecrackers have all firecrackers, you can row the boat over again, don't come over..."

"Hey, why should I go rowing?" After hearing the words of Sanpao, the fat man said dissatisfiedly: "I still want to set off a firecracker. Didn't you do three? We will set off one by one."

"Come on, you, you've never played it. Brother Yi played this for the first time, let him put one more..." Sanpao pushed the fat man, threw the two fish baskets in his hand to the fat man, and said, "Let's go back and move quickly. This place is too close to the village, maybe someone will come..."

"I know, it's not the first time I'll tell you..."

Although the fat man was not happy, he still picked up two fish baskets and came to the lakeside, where there was a small wooden boat that was rowing. This was used by the people guarding the reservoir to catch plankton and garbage. Polluted speedboats are not allowed here.

"Come on, Fang Yi, stand here..."

After the fat man left, Sanpao pulled Fang Yi forward for more than twenty meters, stood by the lake, handed Fang Yi a firecracker, pointed to the water surface in front, and said, "When the fuse is lit later, you throw the wine bottle into the lake water, try to throw it away as far as possible, there are many fish in the deep water there..."

Fang Yi weighed the wine bottle in his hand, nodded, and said, "Okay, I can throw a hundred rice into this bottle..."

"Oh, it doesn't have to be that far, otherwise it would take too much time for the fat man to row over..." Sanpao was startled by Fang Yi's words and said, "It's enough to throw it for more than 30 meters. Throw the three bottles into a triangle, so that even a fish there can't escape..."

As he spoke, Sanpao took out a bag of red plum smoke from his pocket, popped up one and handed it to Fang Yi, and said, "Can you do one?"

"Why are you smoking like a fat man?" Fang Yi shook his head and asked, "Isn't it the fuse that lights the cigarette, right?"

"This thing is not a real firecracker, it's not easy to ignite. Where can I lit the smoke?" Sanpao smiled, felt the wind on the edge of the reservoir, took out a lighter from his pocket, and said, "Did you see it? It's windproof. I bought it from the city to fry the fish..."

It is indeed as Sanpao said, the fuse is not easy to ignite. After igniting it with a windproof firer for more than ten seconds, a stream of blue smoke emerged from the fuse, followed by the "hissing" sound of gunpowder burning.

After the three cannons ignited the fuse, they immediately stuffed the wine bottle into Fang Yi's hand, pointed to the water in the distance, lowered their voice and said, "Hurry up and throw it..."

"Ah, will it not be destroyed if you throw it into the water?"

Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, but he still threw the wine bottle out as the place where Sanpao pointed out. He saw the wine bottle drew an arc in the air and then fell into the water more than 30 meters away.

"Hey, it's not extinguished..." With the moonlight, Fang Yi clearly saw that the blue smoke coming out of the place where the wine bottle fell into the water was obviously still burning.

"The second one, throw it ten meters away from the firecracker..." Before Fang Yi could take a closer look, the third cannon lit the second firecracker and stuffed it into Fang Yi's hand. The wind on the edge of the reservoir was a little weaker, and the fuse was ignited in only five or six seconds.

"Come on, order this..." After Fang Yi threw out the second wine bottle, Sanpao handed him the wine bottle and lighter in his hand.

Seeing that the three guns lit two, Fang Yi followed suit, lit the third earth firecracker, and threw it next to the first two, covering the water more than 20 meters.

"If you go to the army, no one can throw the grenade bullets past you..."

Seeing the three smoked places appearing to be triangles, Sanpao couldn't help but smack his lips. You know, he can only throw a grenade of more than two pounds out at most thirty meters. The bottle of wine is much lighter, so Fang Yi can easily throw it out so far.

"Well? Why haven't it exploded yet?" Fang Yi ignored the three cannons and stared at the water surface. It was almost forty seconds before the first earth firecracker was thrown down. Has the fuse not burned yet?

"Dong!"

As soon as Fang Yi finished speaking, a muffled sound came out of the water dozens of meters away, as if someone was hitting the broken drum surface. The sound was not very loud, but Fang Yi vaguely felt the place under his feet vibrate.

Although the sound of the explosion of the earth firecrackers was covered by the lake water, the water surface was exploded, and a huge splash of water rose seven or eight meters above the water surface. After the splash fell, the sound of "gudong and gudong" was still heard.

After more than ten seconds, the second and third earth firecrackers exploded one after another. The water surface twenty or thirty meters away was full of water splashes, and the originally calm water surface was filled with ripples, as if a pair of big hands were stirring underneath.

"Fatty, hurry up..." Seeing that the three local firecrackers were ringing, Sanpao clenched his fists hard and shouted at the fat man not far away.

"It's already ready..." The fat man replied, jumped onto the wooden boat with agility, and supported it with his oars on the shore. The wooden boat sailed towards the place where the earth firecrackers exploded, but the speed was not slow.

"Sanpao, why are there no fish?" After the fat man rowed the boat, the water gradually calmed down, but Fang Yi, who had good eyesight, saw that no fish surfaced.

"Isn't this happening?"

Sanpao smiled and pointed. Sure enough, a fish with a foot of four or five pounds floated up with a white belly. Then more than a dozen fish floated to the surface, each with belly facing up. I don’t know if it was killed or shocked.

Fang Yi also knew why Sanpao took two such a large fish basket, because that fish had several kilograms, and the smaller fish basket could not be put in at all.

At this time, the fat man also took a net and caught the floating fish on the edge of the boat. He was very busy. Although he was fat, his coordination was really good. The boat was swaying from side to side, but the fat man stood firmly on it.

"Fatty, pick up a big piece of clothing, make your hands and feet quicker, let's go back..." Sanpao reminded him on the shore, and from time to time he turned back to look at the village. Although the explosion just now was not loud, it might be surprising that the people in the village would be alarmed.
