Feng Yi doesn’t want to discuss too much about his “artistic style” that has become popular on the Internet.
"Why are you here?" Feng Yi asked.
Fengshou’s orchard is not here.
"I came here for something."
Feng Shou was still somewhat excited. When Feng Yi asked him about it, he no longer cared to talk about what was happening on the Internet. He moved a chair over for Feng Yi to sit down, and then took out some fruit drinks from the refrigerator as if he was at home, and handed them to Feng Yi and the others.
Sitting down, Feng Shou continued to explain: "I have a plantation, but to stay competitive, I can't just sit there and wait for what I have. Every year I take time to go out of town to search for new varieties, both artificially cultivated and wild, and I have to pick them myself.
"This time, my friend brought me some fruit. He picked it from a local forest when he went there for fun. It's also sold in the market, but it looks the same, but tastes much better when you eat it."
This aroused Feng Shou's interest.
"It may be due to the germplasm. I asked for the address and went over to look for it to see if I can find a way to cultivate it."
Cai Bin looked at the two people who were chatting as if no one was around and coughed lightly, "Do you know each other?"
Feng Shou smiled and patted his friend's shoulder: "My Chinese name is Feng Shou, and my last name is Feng. I guess Brother Yi and I are related by blood."
"Oh, that's a coincidence. Didn't I tell you before that I took an order? The order is from Brother Yi." Cai Bin shouted.
The name "Brother Yi" sounds much more intimate!
Feng Shou raised his eyebrows when he heard Cai Bin's words.
Previously, I only knew that Cai Bin had received a big order and was reluctant to give it up. Today, he came to see Cai Bin. Without saying a word, Cai Bin looked at the time and rushed to the airport. Before leaving, he said, "I'm going to serve my sponsor!"
None of them expected that the “sugar daddy” turned out to be Feng Yi!
Cai Bin has strong business skills and a quick mind. Seeing that Feng Yi and Feng Shou knew each other and seemed to be quite familiar with each other, he did not talk too much about where Feng Yi was going in front of Feng Shou.
He knows clearly what is public and what is private, and he will not discuss client privacy in front of his friends.
It was Feng Yi who took the initiative to mention it. He asked Feng Shou: "Where are you going to find fruit trees this time?"
Feng Shou moved a globe from the counter next to him and pointed to a location: "Here."
Cai Bin knew that Feng Yi was not familiar with this place, so he introduced it to the side: "Wula is a place name. There is a small gathering area there. We call it Wula Village, but some people call it Wula Tribe."
You can tell what the living environment there is like just by listening to the name. It is relatively more primitive.
Cai Bin: "Wula Village is almost isolated from the outside world, and supplies are basically transported there by plane. It's not the common passenger plane, but a small plane that transports some supplies. It doesn't fly that high. Every once in a while, some supplies will be transported there to sell, and then some supplies will be purchased from the locals and brought back."
Feng Shou took out a stack of information from his backpack and said, "I collected some information about that place, printed it out and compiled it into a book. You can't search online in real time there, so you can only bring paper copies. Brother Yi, if you have time, you can go there together. For example, there are several kinds of wild fruits in the area that taste very good, but they are not easy to transport. Even if they are transported at a high cost, they still don't taste as delicious as when they were just picked."
Feng Yi also knew where it was, from the instruction manual Steve gave him. Wula Village was not far from the location he planned.
He didn't have a strong purpose for coming here this time, and the place can be changed.
"Okay. Then let's go to Wula Village and I'll enter the woods from there." Feng Yi said.
For him, it didn't matter where he entered the forest from, as long as he had less contact with the outside world and it was quiet enough, and he didn't have to continue experiencing that awkward feeling.
The almost isolated environment of Wula Village and the lack of internet also met Feng Yi's requirements.
Feng Shou had only mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect Feng Yi to actually change the route. He smiled happily and said, "That's great! Oh, by the way, there are more snakes in Wula Village. Brother Yi, you will like it!"
Feng Yi just smiled and didn't explain.
Anyway, judging by the current trend of online discussion, everyone assumes that he really likes snakes.
Cai Bin also thought this was a good idea. If he was alone, he would still feel a lot of pressure facing Feng Yi, as he was afraid that he would not do well in some way.
But now with Feng Shou, the atmosphere is different. Feng Shou is familiar with Feng Yi and they can chat well. The content of their conversation can also help Cai Bin understand more about Feng Yi's needs. If he serves the sponsor well, he can make more money from this order!
Cai Bin held up his phone and said, "If you are sure you want to go to Wula Village, I will contact the plane now?"
Seeing Feng Yi nod, Cai Bin continued, "There are two types of aircraft, both of which are passenger and cargo transport aircraft modified from agricultural aircraft. In fact, their appearance is similar, but the cabins are different according to needs. One is for transporting cargo, and there is not much space for passengers, so not many people can sit. The other has been modified to transport passengers. Although the number of passengers is still limited, it is more comfortable to sit. If you don't have much luggage, I will only contact the latter."
After getting Feng Yi's confirmation, Cai Bin let go and made the contact.
He mentioned these two types of planes, and the latter one would definitely cost more. But this amount of money was nothing to Feng Yi. Cai Bin said this just to let Feng Yi know that different planes cost different amounts, so that he would not be questioned when he listed the costs.
Feng Yi and his companions prepared supplies first. They could buy food and drinks from local people, but they had to prepare other things themselves.
After the supplies were prepared, everyone went out to have a meal together and took a nap in Cai Bin's shop before setting off.
Feng Yi took Xiao Jia and Xiao Ding with him, Feng Shou went alone, and together with Cai Bin, a group of five people, first drove to a place and then transferred to a flight to their destination.
When flying to Wula Village, Feng Yi could see a large green forest below because the flight altitude was not very high.
However, when passing through some places, you can also see regular plantations below.
"Too many forests were turned into plantations. It was only because of stricter management later that the planted area here did not expand," said Cai Bin.
As we continued forward and got closer to our destination, the plantation could no longer be seen from our sight.
"Oh, we're almost there!" Cai Bin said, looking down.
Feng Yi also saw it.
Below, on a hillside, you can clearly see a smooth, green running track.
The location of this runway is very clever. Perhaps the slope was also taken into consideration when the runway was built here. Taking advantage of the terrain and the naturally formed ramp, the aircraft goes up along the ramp when landing and uses the upward resistance to land.
We also saw the houses below. Some residents had already run out after hearing the noise of the plane, probably thinking that more supplies were coming.
However, when the plane landed, they saw the model and shape of the plane clearly and realized that it was not transporting cargo. But they were not too disappointed. They just looked at the people coming out of the plane with some caution and curiosity.
Occasionally, people from outside would fly in here, some to shoot movies, some to make documentaries, or some as scientific expedition groups.
These people from outside can bring them greater benefits, but not every team can get along well with them, and some unpleasant conflicts have occurred.
Therefore, when Feng Yi came out of the plane, he felt the same emotions of inquiry as these people.
There is liking and rejection, but it is more of a scrutiny, observing whether this outsider is good or bad.
With Cai Bin coming forward to negotiate, Feng Yi also gave the residents a box of supplies, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious. Although the two sides still did not communicate directly.
Cai Bin took Feng Yi and the others to the village. They had to decide where to live first.
As they walked in, Cai Bin told Feng Yi about the local customs and practices here. Although some things had been mentioned before coming here, now that they were here, they could feel them more clearly, so they reminded him again of some things that needed attention.
Cai Bin spoke to Feng Yi in Chinese. Although the villagers could not understand him, he controlled his voice when he spoke:
"The locals worship snakes, not just snakes, but more precisely, they worship a snake god with many heads..."
After saying this, Cai Bin felt something was wrong. The "Snake God" could not be described in one word.
Then he said, "The snake god they worship has many heads. Oh, it looks like that!"
Feng Yi looked in the direction Cai Bin pointed.
There is a statue not far away. The statue is carved very roughly, but you can still make out its general outline.
The "Snake God" statue only has the upper body. It is roughly a human figure, and there are snake heads sticking out around the human head.
When Feng Yi heard Cai Bin say that just now, he thought it really had many heads, but now after looking at the image, he knew that the so-called "many heads" were actually snake heads, not human heads.
Feng Shou asked, "Brother Yi, do you think there really are people like this... Gods? Or some other... uh, creatures?"
For example, monsters and the like.
We have entered the territory of the local residents. Some things are not convenient to say directly, which may offend people. Even if the people here cannot understand what they say, it is always better to be cautious.
Feng Yi thought for a moment and said, "Is it possible that this so-called 'god' just likes to play with snakes, and has many snakes wrapped around his body? This is due to the limitations of the ancients' painting skills, which can easily lead to misunderstandings, and has been passed down from generation to generation, and has become unrecognizable?"
Before Feng Shou could react, Cai Bin beside him said in an amazed tone: "Oh! So that's it!"
A little further ahead, you can see more densely populated residential areas.
Most of them are built with bamboo and wood.
It is indeed a very original painting style.
Feng Yi asked curiously: "They are not completely isolated from the outside world here, and they still maintain such a primitive living environment?"
Cai Bin thought for a moment and said, "Well, there should be a reason for this. I think there are two main reasons. One is that they have lived in this place for generations and are used to it. Second, someone built a better house here before, but you know, after all, the conditions are limited, and this 'good' is definitely only relative. In the eyes of outsiders, it is not very good, and it has lost the local characteristics.
"Before, a documentary filmmaker came here, but he didn't even bother to look at the better and more solid houses. In the end, he chose to live in the houses built by the locals using bamboo poles, wood, mud, thatch and the like.
"This one is built on the ground. Going further into the woods, some houses are built on trees. If you are interested, you can try living in a tree house. I think it's pretty good. Brother Yi, what do you choose?"
Feng Yi glanced at the tree house vaguely visible in the woods in the distance, and without much hesitation, he said directly: "It's built on the ground."
The ground is more solid.
"Okay, come this way, I've already arranged it."
Cai Bin led Feng Yi a short distance forward and came to a house that was similar to the surrounding ones.
At first glance, they look similar, but this type of house was built with some stones, and the space is slightly larger, making it a house with a slightly higher level of configuration.
"This kind of house is mainly for outsiders to live in. However, the conditions are limited after all, and the bed boards inside are still a bit harder. Do you want to go in and take a look first?" Cai Bin looked at Feng Yi, then at the two people behind Feng Yi.
Usually at this time, people with duties such as bodyguards or life assistants will go in first to clean up the house and make sure there is no danger inside, and the financier will only be responsible for resting.
Just as he was thinking this, Cai Bin saw the sponsor handing the backpack to the side.
The younger-looking follower reached out and took it.
Feng Yi walked into the house first, and after a while, he came out holding a snake.
It is also a common and extremely venomous snake in the local area!
Cai Bin:!
!
Oh my god! There's a poisonous snake in there!
Fortunately I didn’t go in!
Huh
I almost forgot, this guy is indeed very rich, but at the same time, he is also a true expert!
Certified by the Joint Insurance Bureau, an expert snake catcher!
What's a venomous snake? Isn't this as easy as catching an earthworm?!
Cai Bin felt more secure instantly.
Before, I had only read the news online and heard about how good this person was at catching snakes, but I never had a direct experience of it. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, he really seems to be enjoying the scenery, so relaxed and casual!
A poisonous snake was caught just like that!
Just as I was about to say a few rainbow farts, I suddenly remembered something and quickly reminded:
"You can't kill a snake here even if you catch one! If you catch one, don't go too far. It has nothing to do with protecting species or anything like that. The rules outside don't have much impact here. What I mean is that the people here believe in snake gods and have a twisted feeling towards snakes."
If Feng Yi caught the snake and swung it in circles for fun, and the locals saw it, they would definitely think that Feng Yi was disrespectful to their snake god, and once emotions became heated, a conflict might occur.
Feng Yi, the big money sponsor, can’t let anything happen here!
It would be fine if he had brought more bodyguards and nothing to fear, but now he only has two of them and they are unable to cope with the anger of the local residents.
"As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. We should be more restrained. Well, we can use gentler methods," said Cai Bin.
Feng Yi nodded when he heard it, then loosened his fingers, no longer holding the snake, and let the snake crawl around his hand.
Cai Bin:!
!
Cai Bin was so scared that his hair almost stood on end.
Brother, I asked you to be gentle, not to let go!
This is a damn poisonous snake. You can’t even find the serum after it bites you!
Hurry up and pinch it!
!
