Feng Yi pretended to be serious and walked around the lake, looking very dedicated.
He did check very carefully. To others, it seemed that Feng Yi was just looking for suspicious crawling marks or other signs of the presence of large reptiles.
However, in fact, Feng Yi was searching so carefully and attentively because he was actually checking how many people had been here from last night to today
Did these people make any important discoveries
Did I do anything else wrong last night
After checking it once, Feng Yi was satisfied.
Good, no one noticed he was here last night!
After taking a walk, Feng Yi said, "There are no pythons here. We also didn't see any small local snakes."
The result Feng Yi came to was within everyone's expectations.
As for the others, so far, everyone tends to believe that what Liu Xiong said was all his hallucinations.
In addition, many people know that Liu Xiong has been obsessed with large snakes recently, and is even thinking about following Feng Yi's example and cooperating with the local zoo to adopt a python.
It is said that whatever you think about during the day you will dream about at night. So, if you think about it too much in your daily life, you may have related illusions and fantasies when you are not conscious.
The person in charge of resource management in the Yueshan area showed no surprise. "It could be water plants or other plants growing in the water, or it could be garbage thrown here by tourists. Let's see if the salvage team can fish it out."
While salvaging the car, the salvage team also fished out some other garbage from the bottom of the lake, both recent and old.
He got angry when he saw the garbage being fished out. “So we still need to increase surveillance here!”
Feng Yi nodded, "Yeah."
Anyway, I won’t come here in my original form next time, so feel free to add me!
This place has nice scenery. In the past year or so, the number of people from other cities traveling to Yueshan, or locals coming here for weekend fun, has increased a lot. We cannot expect everyone to follow the requirements and not violate the rules.
"We still have to increase the penalties! Once we find garbage, we can track down the individual in time! Whoever throws it will be fined!" The person in charge of resource management said in a stern tone.
Feng Yi doesn’t care how or when to add the surveillance.
His mission here had been completed. After saying goodbye to the resource management personnel and the person in charge of the Liu family, he prepared to leave.
They wanted to give Feng Yi some compensation, but he refused.
Not only did Feng Yi not ask for any compensation for his visit, he also donated some money to be used for the maintenance of the ecological environment of Yue Mountain and its surrounding areas.
The person in charge of resource management in this area held Feng Yi's hand and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
With this incident and this money, the application for additional surveillance equipment may be approved soon!
After Feng Yi came to this conclusion, Liu Xiong began to have some self-doubt: Was it really just an illusion
But I still feel unwilling to accept it, as I always feel that this is not an illusion!
Liu Xiong suspected that Feng Yi was being reserved in his words because there were too many people present at the time, so he took some time to find Feng Yi and confirm it again before he left.
"Brother Yi, there's no one else here except the two of us, so give me a clear answer!"
Liu Xiong looked at Feng Yi, "Is there really no snake?"
Feng Yi looked serious, not joking at all: "Really not!"
Liu Xiong looked dazed, self-doubting, and as if his enthusiasm had been wasted.
Feng Yi got goosebumps all over his body when he saw it.
"Go back and have a good rest." Feng Yi said.
Liu Xiong didn't listen and murmured:
"If it's not a snake, then what is it? Is it a water monster? An unknown creature?"
Liu Xiong raised his eyes and looked towards the lake in front of him.
Although the lake is not very small, it is not too big either.
While the salvage team was in the process of recovering the car, some people went to investigate every corner of the lake. People from the Liu family even brought a remote-controlled submersible to search the bottom of the lake, but they did not find any suspicious creatures hiding underwater!
Is this really an illusion
Liu Xiong gradually became confused.
Feng Yi looked at Liu Xiong's condition and before leaving, he said to someone from the Liu family, "He may need some psychological support and guidance."
The Liu family smiled and replied, "Don't worry, it has been arranged."
Not only did they provide psychological support and counseling, but after Liu Xiong recovered, his parents also took strong measures to curb his rebellious temper.
This guy usually thinks he can do anything, but in the end, he still lacks social discipline. This setback is also an opportunity for him to be polished. If he is not taught a lesson, who knows what he will do next time!
In addition, for a long time afterwards, Liu Xiong was accompanied by bodyguards whenever he went out, and could no longer spend his time as recklessly as before.
Liu Xiong, who knew nothing about this, still faced the lake, lamenting that his "adventure" might just be an illusion.
Feng Yi didn't stay any longer. He returned to the community and packed up his things with Xiao Jia.
Feng Yi received many invitations from new contacts at the auction, but he rejected them all.
He is about to leave Yongcheng and return to Yangcheng.
Due to the Liu family's connections, the news did not go into detail about Liu Xiong's incident. When it was first reported, it was only mentioned from the perspective of a traffic accident.
Yueshan is a famous tourist attraction in the local area. Many people come and go every day, and some people go camping with friends. Therefore, the police cars, ambulances, and vehicles with various tools coming and going were seen by many people.
At first, some people were just curious about what happened there, but gradually, more information spread.
Rumors began to spread.
Snakes are scary creatures to most people.
If there is news involving this terrifying creature, people's attention will increase exponentially!
Although I don't know what happened exactly, but with the sensitive word "snake", plus the one-sided news that has been passed on countless times, plus everyone's imagination...
Oh shit!
There is a big melon!
Some people who heard the rumors were just curious and eager to go over to join in the fun and satisfy their curiosity. It would be even better if they could take some photos!
Some people are afraid and want to know more information to avoid possible danger.
Regardless of the ultimate purpose, the rumor that there was a giant water python in a lake in Yueshan spread quickly.
In the electronic information age, all kinds of bizarre rumors can spread thousands of miles in a short period of time.
However, the biggest impact is on local residents, especially those living near Yueshan Mountain.
"Wow! It's an anaconda!"
"I don't know if it's domestic or imported. Do we have native pythons here?"
"Do you have pictures and videos? Blurred pictures are fine!"
"Green anaconda? But doesn't this thing live in the tropics?"
"I don't know what species it is, but it's said to be a particularly large anaconda!"
The name "anaconda" is relatively niche. People who don't pay attention to this aspect may not be able to react for a while even if they hear it.
But as soon as we say "anaconda", everyone quickly and accurately understands it.
The first thing that came to my mind was a terrifying giant python lurking in the water that could swallow a person in one bite!
When I imagine that scene, I shudder.
ah!!!
This is so scary, more people must know about it!
"I heard it was a giant python that dragged everyone into the lake!"
"It's really big, as thick as my waist! It can wrap around a person and throw him away!"
"Is that person okay?"
"They said he was rescued."
"Hey, why did I hear someone say that person was eaten?"
"What I heard was that the man was saved by an anaconda."
"It's so funny, and a water python saved people..."
"The person who fell into the lake was rescued. A classmate of a relative of mine was helping with the salvage operation. It seems that person's family is quite wealthy."
"Looking at the map, the lake isn't that far from our neighborhood. Will the anacondas in the lake come down the mountain and run to our neighborhood?"
"Aren't anacondas in the water?"
"We can also go ashore. Besides, there is a river near our community. Will it run into the river?"
"How fast does a water python crawl on the shore? If I encounter one, can I outrun it?"
"What kind of water python is this? The authorities have clarified the rumors. The person who fell into the lake was just drunk! Maybe he took some drugs that affect the brain and had hallucinations!"
"Oh, not necessarily. Didn't someone say..."
There were various processed rumors, some people believed the "water python", some people dared not go to Yueshan anymore, but a larger number of people rushed in!
Residents living near Yueshan also reported their concerns to relevant departments, hoping that they could send more people to patrol the river not far from the community.
There are indeed more patrol boats on the river because there have been large catfish in the river that have threatened children, so they will search the river every once in a while.
Influenced by this "anaconda incident", they searched along the river again.
However, the anaconda was not found, nor was any big catfish seen, but an alligator gar was caught in a certain section of the river.
The department head slammed the table in anger.
check!
Who the hell put it in the river!
They knew the story about the anaconda was fake, but the big fish they caught was real!
There are people specifically assigned to dispel rumors, so they don’t care. Their current focus is on investigating the “invasion of harmful species”.
The place where the alligator gar was caught was not near Feng Yi’s community, but it was in the same river.
This river has had large and harmful catfish before, and now an alligator gar has been caught, which I heard can grow quite big!
Residents nearby dare not let their pets and children get close to the river when they go out for a walk.
Who knows if some strange big fish will come out.
Of course, some people avoid the same thing, while others flock to it as if they have smelled something fishy.
When Feng Yi was packing up his things, he looked at the river from the upstairs balcony and saw several fishermen wandering by the river with their tools. They left reluctantly after seeing the sign prohibiting fishing.
Feng Yi sighed, took out his phone, and looked at the discussion trend online.
Because the Liu family intended to suppress the matter, they invited several local authoritative experts to refute the rumors online. The official media also spoke out about it, and the rumors about the water python were gradually clarified.
Originally, they wanted to ask Feng Yi to speak out online, but after consideration, they decided not to do so. They also asked Feng Yi not to say more about this matter on public platforms.
Once Feng Yi speaks out, more people will definitely pay attention to this matter.
The Liu family was unwilling to draw public attention to Liu Xiong, and the news reports also blurred Liu Xiong's identity.
But if Feng Yi speaks out, more people will definitely dig deeper.
In that case, the direction of public opinion will be even more difficult to control.
Feng Yi did not mention it on the public platform. Seeing how cooperative he was, the Liu family wanted to give him a generous gift.
However, when they contacted each other, Feng Yi had already left Yongcheng.
