"Uncle, how can this be done? It doesn't cost much. This time I bought a lot of bags of 'Beijing Roast Duck' and came back." Yun Tao said.

"Okay, uncle will accept it and let Ergou you spend money." Yun Changde said.

"Uncle, look at what you said. I am so lucky to have the hard work you helped me run to the reservoir to contract. I don't know how to thank you." Yun Tao said.

"Haha, I won't speak two families anymore. Ergou, you probably haven't visited our village reservoir for a long time." Yun Changde smiled happily.

"Yes, since our village moved down from the mountain, I have never been to our reservoir again. It has been fifteen or sixteen years."

Yun Tao thought for a while and said, when he lived in the mountains, Yun Tao and his children liked to go to the reservoir to play the most. The environment there was beautiful and you could see many small animals.

Sometimes Yun Tao would make fishing rods with bamboo poles and sewing needles by himself, go to the reservoir to fish, stay for one afternoon, and every time he goes back, he can catch more than a dozen large fish, which is enough to improve the food for several days.

However, Yuntao's parents usually don't agree to Yuntao's trip to the reservoir. They are afraid that Yuntao's children will go to the reservoir and play in danger. Yuntao's parents would secretly hide it from his parents, or go in groups of three or five.

"Then let's go and have a look first, and then talk about signing the contract."

Yun Changda said that after all, his nephew hasn't gone to the reservoir for more than ten years, so it's better to take him to see it. The reservoir has changed a little over the past ten years, needless to say anything else. The paths we walked on before are now full of weeds. The roads are hard to walk on.

If my eldest nephew wants to contract, the first thing he needs to do is weed and build roads. After all, the person who took office in the contractor just asked someone to clean up the roads casually and did not use cement. Now there is a lot of place collapsed by rain.

Now let my eldest nephew see, so that he can be mentally prepared to contract this reservoir. If you want to contract, the investment in funds will be a bit too high. No matter what, everyone is their own family, so you can't cheat your own people.

"Okay, will we go now?"

Yun Tao asked, and Yun Tao also wanted to go and see the reservoir in his village, after all, there were some people who laughed a lot there.

"Yes, let's go and have a look now. If it's appropriate, we will go to the county town to sign a contract tomorrow. If it doesn't work, we won't sign this contract." Yun Changde said.

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

Yun Tao has "super driving skills" and is also very good at driving an electric car. He drove his uncle's electric car and took his uncle. In less than ten minutes, the car drove along the village road and drove up the mountain halfway. The reservoir was at the middle of the mountain. Turning in from a mechanized farming road next to it, you can reach the dam of the reservoir.

It is difficult to get into the electric car from the mechanized road when you get here. After all, this road has not been overhauled for more than ten years. Many places have collapsed and are covered with weeds taller than people, which are difficult for people to pass through, let alone cars.

Yun Tao couldn't figure out how many people who had contracted the reservoirs in the past had not built roads. However, Yun Tao just thought about it and stopped thinking about this problem. After all, this is no longer important to him.

I have to contract this reservoir and probably spend tens of thousands of yuan to complete the road. If I want to pass the car in the future, I have to invest more than 100,000 yuan to repair the road. Yun Tao was a little depressed. He would have to invest more than 100,000 yuan more. This money is not easy to make, and it is indeed easy to spend.

What Yun Tao didn't know was that it was not the people who contracted the reservoir before, and they were unwilling to build this road. They really lost money by contracting this reservoir. They didn't make a penny and even lost their old capital. They didn't have the mood to build this broken road.

The two got out of the car, found a wooden stick, and pushed away the tall weeds. It took more than half an hour to walk to the dam of the reservoir. If the road was good, it would take about ten minutes to arrive.

The reservoir in Yuntao Village is called Taoling Reservoir, and is named according to the name of Yuntao Village. After all, this is a small rural reservoir, built collectively by the villagers, so it is named according to the name of the village. It is easy to remember, and everyone can tell where the reservoir is. The nearby reservoirs are also named according to the name of the village.

Taoling Reservoir is a long dam that uses the mountain between the mountains and surrounds a long land embankment and stores water. The reservoir is a product of the Great Leap Forward in the 1960s.

At that time, it was still the commune system. In order to solve the problem of insufficient watering of fields in the mountain village, the men, women, young and old in the village worked hard for more than a year. Without relying on any machinery, they only carried their shoulders and carried their hands, and built a dam between the barren mountains and rivers with a height of nearly twenty meters, a width of nearly ten meters and a length of sixty meters.

Standing on this majestic dam, Yun Tao couldn't help but sigh that the power of the people in that era was really great. With the hands of everyone, such a large reservoir was built without technology and equipment. You must know that this reservoir was built entirely by the power of a village, and there was no money left for the government without spending any money.

From Taoling Village to the bottom, the irrigation area of ​​Taoling Reservoir extends to more than ten kilometers away. It is an extremely important water conservancy project in the entire Xiaotao Township. However, the reservoir is in the rarely visited mountains. Except for the people in the village, many people from other places have only heard of the name of the reservoir, but have never seen the true face of Mount Lu.

There are several small houses hidden in the willow forest on the dam. This small house was built by the contractor of the previous reservoir because he did not continue to contract the reservoir after the contract expired. The small houses left behind were not living in a few years, and the house was very dilapidated.

Yun Tao decided to wait until he finished the contracting procedures for the reservoir, and asked someone to organize the houses and temporarily live with the workers who helped him with the construction. After the construction on his reservoir was completed, Yun Tao asked someone to demolish the houses.

"Hehe, Ergou, look there."

Yun Changda suddenly said to Yun Tao in a low voice, looking a little excited, pointing to a grass not far from the reservoir dam.

"Hare."

Yun Tao was stunned and saw two gray hares squatting in the grass. Unexpectedly, they could see two hares as soon as they came. This was a great luck. Yun Tao remembered that when he was still living in the mountains, he often catching pheasants, catching rabbits, and picking wild mushrooms with the children. That time, it was still fascinating to me.

"Ergou, go here and I go there, let's slowly get closer and grab them."

Yun Changde gestured with his hands and said to Yun Tao in a low voice that he hadn't caught a hare in decades. Yun Changde could see two big hares at once, and he was very excited. He couldn't help but itchy hands and wanted to catch these two hares.

"OK."

Yun Tao responded in a low voice, approaching the hare's position with his hands and feet. In fact, it is very simple for Yun Tao to catch these two hares, just use the "Lingbo Weibu".

However, Yun Tao didn't want to do this. First, he didn't want his uncle to know that he could have such a powerful martial arts. Second, if he relied on "Lingbo Weibu" to catch the rabbit at once, there would be no fun. Yun Tao still wanted to capture this hare like before. It would be best if he could catch it. There was no regret if he didn't catch it.

The two slowly approached the hare's position, just three or five short of catching the hare. Yun Tao and Yun Changde were both very excited.

"Puff."

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

"It's a pity, I almost caught it. It would be great if there were shotguns. Unfortunately, farmers are not allowed to have shotguns now."

Yun Changde was a little regretful. He thought about the shooting wherever he pointed with a shotgun back then, and for example, ten meters or thirty meters, he was shot perfectly. Unfortunately, the country had to put it in a row a few years ago, but now there is no hunting rifle in the village.

However, the failure to catch the hare made the two of them feel a little regretful. However, the gentle spring breeze and stroll through the green mountains and waters, and the regret disappeared after a while.

Yun Tao and Yun Changdeliang walked towards the edge of the reservoir, preparing to take advantage of this afternoon to investigate the entire reservoir. The mountains and forests were always lively. Before they could walk a few steps, a weasel suddenly jumped out of the grass, yellow and orange, and sank into the bushes.

In the past, people called weasels Huang Taixian, but many people dared not name them, for fear of finding them. Those weasels attached stories. Yun Tao heard a lot when he was a child. Every time he was scared and screamed. Now it is quite interesting to think about it.

Yun Tao remembers seeing in a book that if a person saves a weasel, he will have good luck in his life, but his second generation will suffer.

If a person harms a weasel, then he will start to have bad luck in his life, which means that meeting a weasel is unlucky.

"It's so unlucky. Why did you encounter this thing in the reservoir?"

Yun Changde said with a somewhat ugly expression. After all, the older generation is more superstitious. Meeting "Wang Tai Sin" when he goes out means that he is going to have bad luck recently.

"Haha, uncle has nothing. Maybe no one has come near our reservoir for a long time, and these wild animals have also begun to reproduce. It is normal to encounter 'Wang Tai Sin'." Yun Tao said.

"Or it's better not to contract this reservoir."

Yun Changde said with some concern that after all, when you come to the reservoir, you will encounter this "Wang Tai Sin" without any good signs.

"Haha, 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 they are full of treasures and furs. Even the meat thrown away by people is also a medicinal material."
