One step closer to reality every day

Chapter 409 The So-Called Messenger

The tone is strong and the words are sharp.

Anger is very direct!
The village chief's demeanor was completely different from before, and he was no longer polite.

The bravery of the native residents of the tropical rainforest, who seem to be able to smell the smell of blood, is undoubtedly revealed!
The head of a village is so terrifying!
It's a pity that there is a language barrier.

Coupled with the aggravation of the accent under the emotional outburst, even if you know a little bit of the local language, you can't receive the meaning of the other party in the first place.

The deterrent effect is greatly reduced.

Except for Cai Bin, the translator who fluctuated the most, Feng Yi and Feng Shou showed the same obsession.

Then look at Cai Bin.

What's going on?
Why does the village chief look like he was suddenly poked with a tube in his lung?
Even if it touched on a sensitive topic, it was still out of health concerns, so the emotions shouldn't be so strong, right?
However, Cai Bin, who understands the temperament of the local residents, directly raised his vigilant radar, and blah blah.

Can't it?Why is this? !
He also believes that the village head overreacted, but the current situation shows that they still underestimated the impact of certain topics on the indigenous people.

To become the village head here, he has both a smooth side and a stubborn side. He didn't expect to change his face completely.

For a while, the atmosphere in the room was extremely dignified.

Due to the sudden drop of the table by the village chief, the layout of the house also appeared messy.

Just now the village chief had a sudden emotion, but Feng Yi's reaction was faster. Before the village chief threw the table, he first lifted the rice bowl in front of him... cough, the dinner plate, first picked up the dinner plate in front of him, including the plate in front of him. The coconut shells containing the food were all picked up steadily, without a drop of soup being involved.

Feng Shou, who was sitting next to him, didn't have that speed, silently wiped the few drops of soup splashed on his face with a paper towel, looked at Feng Yi, and cast his eyes for help.

There's no other way, I can't handle this situation.

Even without what Feng Yi said just now, the conversation between him and the village chief was not very harmonious.

At this moment, the village head's sharp eyes scanned the three outsiders present, and then landed on Feng Yi again.

A moment ago, the village head thought this person was the most pleasing to the eye, but now he thinks the other person is disgusting!

To him, what Feng Yi said just now was a great offense!

If it were the other two people at the table, the village chief would have already taken the coconut shells that held the food and violently buckled them up!
But recalling what he saw last night, the village chief still suppressed the surging dissatisfaction and violent anger, hiding these sharp emotions in every crease on his face.

Take a deep breath and calm down.

The village head stared at Feng Yi and said, "Mr. Feng, you said that you came here with friendship."

Feng Yi was not intimidated by the village head's terrifying expression just now, as for what he said just now, he was just stating a fact.

However, the local culture here is still underestimated. It should be more tactful and respect the local indigenous cultural beliefs.

"Of course." Feng Yi put down the dinner plate and took out a certificate from his pocket, "I'm an expert on snakes."

He didn't deliberately say that it was about catching snakes, and he didn't show the certificate given by the United Nations Security Bureau, which the locals are very repulsed by. Instead, he took another certificate.

He came out this time and prepared several documents, and presented different proofs according to different situations.

The village chief glanced at the opened document.It seems to be more authoritative, and it is also written in English, so he can understand it a little bit.

The village chief's expression softened slightly: "So, you are, a doctor?"

Cai Bin originally planned to translate it into "veterinary doctor", but thinking about the beliefs of the villagers and the overreaction of the village chief just now, to be on the safe side, he translated it into "doctor".

Feng Yi didn't bother with the word, and neither admitted nor denied the current situation, but said euphemistically again: "From an expert's point of view to describe it objectively, that...that person's body mass index may be a bit high, and needs to be slightly controlled."

After proving his identity, Feng Yi decided to talk about the health of the python.

When he pulled up the python in the rainforest, what came to his mind was a picture he saw when listening to the report—the fat distribution of snakes with different body mass indexes.

Feng Yi knew this, but he used to always listen to Steve's blah blah, which was too light and which was overweight.A few days ago, I attended a seminar and listened to a report. A reptile researcher also mentioned obesity in snakes, so Feng Yi reminded the village chief not to feed pigs too often. That python is obviously overweight!

It is still rewarding to listen to many lectures and reports. Feng Yi selected some key information to tell the village chief.

Regarding the health of the boa constrictor, the village head listened very seriously.

It's just that the more you listen, the tighter your brows are.

The village chief was suspicious: "Really?"

Feng Yi: "From the perspective of an expert..."

The village head showed displeasure: "Don't mention the experts!"

Feng Yi: "OK, let's analyze it from a professional perspective."

Go ahead and state what is at stake.

You take that python so important, you must pay attention to its health, don't keep it for supplies, it's rare to keep it so big.

We all know that pythons are powerful and full of muscles, but those who are overweight still accumulate a lot of fat.

People who live here should be very clear about the size of wild boa constrictors in the rainforest.

Feng Yi asked: "Didn't you realize that that one is too...heavy?"

The village head looked arrogant: "That is the favor of the gods!"

Feng Yi:  …

Forget it.

The filter is too thick to break.

Avoiding this problem, Feng Yi said: "You still have to control it, don't feed too much."

That snake was rather greedy. Apart from the pigs fed by the villagers, it probably also ate a lot of unlucky animals passing by.

But with the frequency of the villagers feeding pork, the health of the snake would be more serious, so Feng Yi insisted.

This time the village chief didn't regard it as an "offence". He listened to what Feng Yi said just now, but he didn't show it on the surface, and others couldn't tell whether he believed it or not.

But judging from the emotional information, the village head tended to believe it.

So Feng Yi didn't continue to persuade, as long as the village chief listened to what he said just now and kept it in his heart, he would definitely pay attention to the frequency of feeding.

And Feng Yi's proper stop also made the village chief a little more satisfied.

Sure enough, after looking at it, Feng Yi is the most pleasing to the eye!

In the following time, the atmosphere eased up a lot. Although the village chief still didn't agree with Feng Shou to follow to find the fruit trees, he promised Feng Shou would take a live video and dig some soil where the fruit trees were.

After negotiating the price, the village head is very easy-going as long as no sensitive topics are involved.

Feng Shou also understood that it is fine to say anything, don't talk about their beliefs.

Because of this, Feng Yi originally wondered why the villagers regarded the python as a god, but now he doesn't ask too much, even if he asks, he can't ask the village chief.

Get out of the village headman's house and go back to their temporary residence.

Cai Bin whispered: "I didn't see the village chief's grandson, but the kid I found in the rainforest last night."

Feng Yi said: "It's in the next room."

Cai Bin thought that Feng Yi had seen it, so he didn't ask much, but sighed in a low voice: "The villagers in this place are not so easy to get along with. The village chief loses his temper and it's scary."

Passing by a statue of "God and Snake" in the village, Feng Yi slowed down, looked at the nearby villagers, and his eyes fell on one of the young villagers.

It can be seen that this young villager has more contact with the outside world, and his dressing style and accessories have some external elements. It is very likely that he is not the part of the village who enters and exits the forbidden area.

The young man's target was also Feng Yi and the others, holding some trinkets with local characteristics and asking if they were interested.

He communicates more frequently with the outside world, and knows a little bit of common language. Although he has an accent, he can express his meaning even when he stumbles.

Feng Yi bought some small items.They brought cash this time, and these gadgets don't cost much.

Feng Yi carried change with him, and he was not ostentatious. The villagers looked at him well, and they were not greedy.

When buying these small items, Feng Yi mentioned it casually, and looked at the statue not far away: "Do you worship snakes?"

The young villager corrected: "We believe in snake gods! Snakes are just messengers sent by the gods!"

In terms of beliefs, the villagers don't talk too much with outsiders, but this sentence has already given Feng Yi a general idea.

Feng Yi didn't believe in snake gods and messengers.

I don't know which clansman came here to play snakes and was seen by the villagers, so he was regarded as a god by the villagers.

The so-called forbidden area should be the place where the clansmen haunted back then.

The so-called messenger, perhaps a lucky snake that broke in while looking for food, was regarded by the villagers as the messenger of the gods, and they fed the pigs as offerings.

Of course, these are just Feng Yi's guesses.

This village has lived here for too long, and the time points of the stories happened too far apart, so the information left is limited, and only these very rough statues and stories passed down from generation to generation by the villagers living here.

It's just that the content of the story may not be the truth.

For example, the snake played by the clansman, according to the stories passed down by the villagers, is the identity of the "messenger". In fact, is it a pet?Or hunted food?

But I have to say that the snake caught last night was really fat, with enough fat content.

Feng Yi stared at the rain forest, then looked away, and went back to the residence with the others.

The giant python, which was swallowing pigs in the rainforest, felt a sense of crisis inexplicably, which made it want to vomit and run away.

But this sense of crisis appeared suddenly and disappeared quickly.

What should I do?
The meat in my mouth is so delicious...

Its undeveloped brain cannot think too much in such a short time.

After a short pause.

Follow instinct, since there is no crisis, then continue to eat!

Ahhhhhhhh keep swallowing pigs!

Really fragrant!

It was originally a nocturnal habit, but it was too frightened the night before and couldn't arouse the interest in foraging. It found a place to stay until the day, and wanted to continue to sleep.

However, the trees here are tall and dense, blocking the sun, and the place below is shady, and the familiar food smell is tempting, so the appetite came, and he ran out to eat pigs.

Although there were a little twists and turns in the process of swallowing, I was still very happy to eat. After swallowing the pig, I found a place to stay at home.
