One step closer to reality every day

Chapter 460 Superstitious Behavior
From the isolated island to the bustling and noisy city, Xiao Xin was really uncomfortable. On the way from the airport to the residence, he was always in a state of vigilance.

After arriving at the residence without other outsiders, Xiao Xin was much more relaxed.

This place is full of people I know, and it is relatively quiet. After tidying up his room, Xiao Xin wandered around in the courtyard.

Of course, it's not to admire the landscape of the house. The luxury villas and garden scenery are not very attractive to him. He actually wants to see, what Xiaojia and the others say, the extremely strong koi that the boss has raised.

Squatting next to the landscape pool, Xiao Xin looked at the koi, and then thought about the marine iguanas on the island.

Unexpectedly...there are similarities in the same way but the same effect!

Like half-siblings across species.

It's not the appearance, but the posture, the temperament, the agility that seems to be full of infinite vitality!

Although the word "temperament" is not suitable for koi and marine iguanas, at this moment, this word suddenly popped up in Xiao Xin's mind.

Stretching out his finger, he lightly poked a koi that was slowly swimming over, like a bead like a pig.

Piu~
A nimble flick.

Turn 180 degrees on the spot to dodge, and swim away quickly.

After squatting here and watching the koi for a long time, Xiao Xin left satisfied.

Originally, he thought that the growth of the marine iguanas on the island was a bit ridiculous, but now, compared with the koi in the landscape pond, there is still room for development.

Being taken to Yangcheng by Feng Yi for the New Year, Xiao Xin didn't stay at home all the time.

He can continue his own way of life, but he can't get too out of touch with this society.Obviously, Xiao Xin himself understands these principles,

I don't like some things, but I don't understand them.

Refusing the company of his colleagues, Xiao Xin chose to go shopping by himself, visit the flower market, buy something he needed and liked, and then take a look at the operation of the city and experience the services of technological intelligence.

He even made a special trip to Yangcheng Zoo to see the genetically special boa constrictor adopted by the boss.

It's easy to spot.Not only the body color, but also the size that was obviously much larger than other pythons of the same period.

[As expected of being raised by the boss. 】

Xiao Xin wasn't surprised at all.

His astonishment had already occurred to the marine iguanas on the island.

When he came to Yangcheng, his horizons were broadened by those pig-like koi in the boss's house.

Feng Yi has been very busy this year, he has known many people, and during this time the phone calls are also very frequent.

Even, at the old house, with the acquiescence of Mr. Feng, the uncle of the Feng family even sent an invitation to Feng Yi.

During the Chinese New Year, there will be a sacrificial ceremony in the ancestral hall built last year, and Feng Yi is invited to participate.

However, Feng Yi refused to participate on the grounds that his name was not listed in the genealogy of the ancestral hall.

I am impatient to get involved in the messy things of Yangcheng Feng's family.

On New Year's Eve, after the New Year's Eve dinner, Feng Yi chatted with Xiao Xin for a while.

He thought of the question Santos asked him.

that assumption.

In front of Santos, it is inconvenient for Feng Yi to say too much, but now facing his own people, there is no need to worry too much.

"Xiao Xin, you lived in the tropics most of the time, right? Including before joining the job." Feng Yi asked.

Xiao Xin nodded.

Before seeing Feng Yi, when he was running outside, he was mostly active in the tropics. He drove the boat north and south, and even went to high latitudes. However, most of the time he was more used to living in the tropics.

Feng Yi asked him: "Then what do you think will happen to people in tropical areas if they experience extreme cold waves?"

Xiao Xin was puzzled: "How extreme?"

Feng Yi said: "It just suddenly dropped to minus [-] or [-] degrees, or even lower."

Xiao Xin: "Without cold protection measures, it will definitely be very painful."

Feng Yi thought for a while, and said again: "If there is not too long a buffer time, the temperature suddenly drops?"

If it is a weather weapon, how long does it last?
When the cold wave advances, you will see the negative [-]-degree line, the negative [-]-degree line, the negative [-]-degree line... step by step.

But if it is a weather weapon, the temperature in one place will drop from a precipice of [-] degrees to minus [-] degrees... No, a weapon that can change the weather will have stronger energy, and the temperature drop will definitely not exceed minus [-] degrees!

Feng Yi: "Maybe it's time to drink a glass of water, and the temperature will drop from the usual temperature to below minus [-] degrees."

Xiao Xin said: "Oh, then they may bid farewell to this world without feeling much pain."

Feng Yi was silent.

When "Survivor" recorded the program before, when the cold wave came and the temperature dropped, the guests were reminded many times about the safe time to go out and the protective measures when breathing.

But if you wear short sleeves to feel such a big cooling, it may indeed disappear soon.

Meteorological weapons are indeed double-edged swords. It depends on how to use them, how to regulate them, and how to strictly manage them...

but……

Like Steve said, first see if there is any, and then think about others.

With meteorological weapons, even if the climate anomaly comes back again, there is still room for choice and the courage to confront it head-on.

Feng Yi's silence made Xiao Xin a little worried, thinking about Feng Yi's question just now, he only said: "The world is full of infinite possibilities."

Feng Yi also smiled and said: "Yes, infinite possibilities."

On the first day of the new year, Feng Yi went to Xiaofeng Mountain.

Go to pay New Year's greetings to Uncle Dumb.

The ancestral house in Xiaofengshan, in a sense, is equivalent to the place where the "ancestral grave" is located.It is also a bit of a ritual to take a trip during the New Year.

Probably because he played mahjong too late last night. When Feng Yi arrived at the ancestral house, the dumb uncle was still yawning.

Without disturbing their old man's sleep, Feng Yi put down his things, was stuffed with a red envelope by the dumb uncle, and went down the mountain.

Before closing the door, Uncle Mute also put a Do Not Disturb sign at the door, and those who came to pay New Year's greetings should put down their things and people should not enter the house.

Today, Feng Yi's family also has many people who come to pay New Year's greetings, including Uncle Bao who flew over from the other side of the ocean.

"Happy New Year, Feng Yi! Hey, housekeeper, you look so radiant today!"

Uncle Bao smiled and came in from the door.

Uncle Bao had dinner with his family, and then flew to Huaguo.The time difference between the two places is different. He caught up on the plane and was still in good spirits.

The excuse given to the outside world is that Fei came here for business matters, but in fact, there are other purposes.

Feng Yi poured a cup of tea for Uncle Bao: "How are you doing? Are Xiaoya and the others okay?"

Uncle Leopard took the teacup with both hands: "Everything is good. The business has been going well recently. The only pity is that I wanted to borrow a big brother's accompanying quota to participate in an event, but was ruthlessly rejected by the review."

Although he didn't say in detail what activities he participated in, but when he mentioned the "accompanying quota", Feng Yi had a rough guess.

But Uncle Bao didn't want to talk about it today.

"that……"

Uncle Bao thought about it, lowered his voice, and there was a little respect in his voice: "May I ask, where did you worship your ancestors during the Chinese New Year? I heard that Yangcheng Feng's family worshiped their ancestors in that newly built ancestral hall."

Feng Yi: "Well, I didn't participate."

Uncle Bao immediately said: "Hey, someone told me that I could go to have a good incense, but I didn't go."

Observing Feng Yi's expression, Uncle Bao said again: "I heard that there is an ancestral house on Xiaofeng Mountain?"

Feng Yi nodded: "Well, I went there today and just came back."

Uncle Bao said: "I'll go there later. Our ancestors must have something to do with it. I don't have an ancestral house, so it's good to go over there to have a look. We businessmen still value the ancestral house very much."

Is the ancestral house on Xiaofeng Mountain an ordinary house?

That is the authentic ancestral home of the Feng family!

Even if it's just a broken thatched cottage, it's still shining with golden light!
Just as Feng Yi was about to say something, a new message came from his phone.

Open it up and take a look.

Feng Yi couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and there was a smile on his face.

Uncle Bao, who had been paying attention to Feng Yi's expression, tentatively said, "I think it must be good news?"

Feng Yi said: "Yes. Good news."

It was Xiao Geng who sent him the message.

The application for accompanying places has been approved!
In other words, in the near future, Butterfly plans to conduct actual combat exercises, and he can go to the scene to watch it up close!

Well worth the prep work they did!
Although Xiao Geng kept saying that there was no big problem, Feng Yi couldn't let it go even if he didn't come down for a day.

Now that the quota has finally come down, Feng Yi feels at ease.

Putting the phone back in his pocket, Feng Yi was about to continue talking to Uncle Bao when——

Uncle Leopard's face was flushed and his eyes were burning, not because of embarrassment, but because of excitement.

Judging from the emotional information, Uncle Bao's inner drama at this time is a bit complicated and complex.

Considering Uncle Bao's superstitious thoughts, Feng Yi had to explain: "I did a lot of preparatory work in advance, put in a lot of effort, and now it's just the expected result."

Uncle Leopard had a very approving look on his face: "Oh~"

Uncle Leopard's heart: Sure enough, the ancestors bless you!

Although this is a wonderful coincidence, Uncle Bao has some other ideas and firmly wants to go to Xiaofeng Mountain to take a look at the ancestral house!
Seeing Uncle Bao's attitude, Feng Yi didn't try to persuade him anymore, but reminded him: "Now that house belongs to Uncle Dumb, and the old man lives in it, but he may be sleeping at home all the time today, and he doesn't really want anyone to disturb him."

Uncle Bao wrote down: "Okay, don't bother, don't bother!"

In fact, before coming to Yangcheng, Uncle Bao had already planned to go to Xiaofeng Mountain to take a look at the ancestral house, and asked people to check the information.

It was mentioned in the information that people found that the old man who lived there had a weird temper and was not easy to get along with.

Uncle Bao had originally planned that if he could talk, he would come into the house to enjoy himself, that would be the best.

If you can't talk about it and don't let you in, then plan B will be implemented.

In either case, he never thought of delaying the time.The first day of the new year is a good day, worshiping gods and ancestors must be held on the first day!

Feng Yi: "We still need to face up to our attitude towards sacrificial culture, and don't be too obsessed with some unrealistic ideas."

Uncle Leopard: "I understand."

Again, how can worshiping ancestors be considered a feudal superstition!

Not counting!

Absolutely not!

The decision has been made, and Uncle Bao is about to leave.Before going to Xiaofeng Mountain, he still wanted to make an appointment with Feng Yi to have a meal together and chat about family affairs.He will stay in China for two more days.

But Feng Yi has no free time here.

"I have something to do with the United Nations Insurance Bureau, so I won't be home tomorrow."

The United Nations Insurance Bureau has to investigate illegal releases. During the Chinese New Year every year, there are a large number of illegal releases, and this year it will also be strictly investigated.

I don't know how many bad things those people who released animals in violation of the regulations have done. What they caught and released, what invasive species, what poisonous snakes and insects, releasing them in violation of regulations is purely a disaster.

Very punishing.

Very punishment.

If you encounter poisonous snakes, the United Nations Insurance Bureau may need Feng Yi to track them down, so that no snakes slip through the net.There are many people traveling during the Spring Festival, so it would be bad if there is an incident of hurting people.

Uncle Bao also followed Feng Yi's words and severely criticized this behavior.Originally, I found someone to buy a very good carp and planned to release it tomorrow.

Alas, forget it, it’s better to pay homage to the ancestral house after paying so much attention!

carp?Keep the teriyaki!

Uncle Bao was very excited and rushed to Xiaofeng Mountain.

The weather is fine today, and the temperature has picked up. When Uncle Bao went up the mountain, he saw Wang Jinshe who was out to bask in the sun.

Finally came to the authentic ancestral house, Uncle Bao paid his respects with infinite filters and a pious attitude.

The gate of the ancestral house is locked, and there is a sign that refuses visitors.

Because of Feng Yi's reminder, Uncle Bao didn't knock on the door either, and his movements were very light, and he asked his subordinates to step back, so as not to disturb the rest of the people inside.

Setting up the incense table himself, Shangxiang looked extremely sincere and his actions were meticulous. Before coming here, he had asked someone to guide him, and he had also chatted with many big businessmen about common topics.

It can be said to be well prepared.

At the same time, the dumb uncle who was yawning and watching the surveillance screen in the bedroom:? ? ?
Where did the neuropathy come from outside?

The gate of the ancestral home.

After Uncle Bao paid his respects, he always felt that something was missing. He took out his memo and flipped through it. Then, with a dazed expression, he looked left and right, and quickly and lightly bumped a corner next to it, which was covered with moss. The blue bricks moved up.

Well, this brick, he intends to take it away... please go and offer it.

To take the bricks away, Uncle Bao also put down the New Year's greeting gifts he had prepared long ago.

Because the information found shows that the old man who lives here doesn't value money, so Uncle Bao didn't think about giving money directly, but put down a lot of New Year's gifts, and left a letter of apology to explain the reason.

The letter of apology was written in his own handwriting. After paying homage to the auspicious words, the main idea is that I hope the old man will understand the homesickness of a wanderer from the Feng family...

Uncle Bao also left his mobile phone number on it. If the old man living inside has any requests, he can send him a message directly.

The dumb uncle who was watching this on the monitor still had a look on his face:? ? ?

The brick at the door was a discarded blue brick dug up during the repair of the house, and it was pressed through the waterproof cloth at the door.

Chicken shit and bird shit have fallen on it before.

Why does this person outside want this green brick?
What kind of homesickness can this thing solve?

Are the people in the city having so much fun? !
Unaware that the people living inside were watching his every move, Uncle Bao completed the whole process solemnly, then packed up his things and led people down the mountain.

Not long after going down the mountain, passing by Feng Yi's collection, Uncle Bao had another idea.

The New Year's Eve is here...

He called Feng Yi:
"Could you go to your collection to take a look? Last time, I was in a hurry and there were too many guests. I didn't look carefully at that time. I finally came here once, and I want to go in and have a look."

Feng Yi didn't have much other thoughts about this matter, so he called the guards over there to let him go.

Uncle Bao didn't let his subordinates follow him in, he went in alone, without looking at anything else, just in front of the statue of Feng Yi, as if worshiping God, quietly looked up for 10 minutes.

Watchman:?
　On April 28th, I set myself a goal for May, and then caught a cold the next day.

Headache, low-grade fever, lethargy.Spent around Labor Day with a cold.

Well, the new month does not set a flag.
