Feng Yi didn't believe in the idea of a thirty-meter giant snake.
Anyway, there are no abnormal creatures in the rainforest where the Wula village is located, including the so-called restricted area of this tribe, and there is nothing abnormal.
Smell can tell Feng Yi a lot of information, Feng Yi can tell that at most the smell of snakes is stronger than those forests he has been to before. Tropical rain forests are very suitable for snakes to survive.
After a busy day, there was no other entertainment in the evening and the only things they could do were to play single-player games on their phones. They all planned to go to bed early, chat for a while, and go to bed when they felt sleepy.
However, just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard a loud noise outside.
"What happened?" Feng Shou carefully opened the window and looked outside. "Someone came out with a flashlight. What are they shouting?"
Cai Bin listened carefully and said, "A child didn't come back."
“Lost? That shouldn’t be the case. This village can develop peacefully here. Everyone from the elderly to the children are the kind who have a sense of crisis and won’t run around.” Feng Shou said.
"That's why I panicked. I knew something was wrong." Cai Bin listened again. "The missing child is ten years old."
Children of this age don't know nothing here.
Feng Yi asked: "Do you want to help?"
Cai Bin said, "We can't help much. They are much more familiar with the environment and terrain than we are. Let's wait and see. We don't know exactly what's going on. I guess the villagers don't want us to get involved. They have always been very wary of outsiders."
It’s not that Cai Bin is indifferent. He has been to many places, and sometimes being enthusiastic and proactive can make the situation worse.
But Feng Yi has his own considerations.
He could continue to sleep despite the noise outside, but the same could not be said for others. If they did not get enough rest, it would affect their actions the next day.
Moreover, the peace and tranquility of Wula Village would be more beneficial to their lives here.
Besides, the lost person is a child, so you should help if you can. In this situation, every delay will increase the danger.
Feng Yi said: "The lost child may have something to do with us, because we came suddenly and attracted the attention of most villagers, so the child's family didn't find him in the first time. It should have been a while, and he hasn't been found yet. It must be difficult to find him. I have a keen sense of smell and can help look for him."
At this time, Xiao Ding, who had been listening to the noise outside, suddenly said, "The missing child belongs to the village chief's family."
Cai Bin, who was still hesitant, immediately said, "Okay, I'll go talk to them."
If this incident at the village chief's house is not resolved quickly, their plan cannot be carried out, and it is estimated that no one will help Feng Shou find tree species.
Cai Bin asked Feng Yi and the others to stay in the house and not go out. The indigenous people have their own rules, and outsiders should not hang around outside at this time.
Putting on his coat and taking a flashlight, Cai Bin headed towards the village chief's house, asking questions to any villagers he met along the way.
Arriving at the village chief's house, Cai Bin said to the village chief: "I don't need to tell you much about the dangers in the rain forest. Let's go find someone as soon as possible. Our teammate can also help. He has a very good sense of smell."
The village chief frowned and remained silent.
After a while, the people who went out to look for it came back, but they didn't find it nearby.
The villagers who gathered here late at night were talking about it, making all kinds of speculations, and one villager mentioned the forbidden area.
Upon hearing about the forbidden area, the village chief's expression suddenly changed:
"impossible!"
The villagers, from the elderly to the children, all knew that they could not go to the forbidden area. A ten-year-old child could already understand a lot, and was not someone who knew nothing. Living here, they were very sensitive to danger and would not go there alone. Moreover, the lost child had been taught by the village chief since childhood and was very capable in all aspects, and would not go to the forbidden area without reason.
But they also know that they can’t go back “for no reason”.
If there is no reason, I would not risk going to the forbidden area, but what if there is
What if there was a reason they were unaware of
The lost child is the village chief's most valued grandson.
I don't know what he was thinking about, but the village chief's face was full of sorrow. He immediately called someone over and started talking a lot, and even tried to prevent Cai Bin from listening.
Cai Bin and his group were mentioned during the conversation, and several villagers looked towards Cai Bin.
But we didn't discuss it for too long, after all, time was tight.
After a while, the village chief came over and said to Cai Bin in a deep voice:
"We need the help of your friend with a keen sense of smell. In return, we will help you find the tree species. I hope you didn't deceive us!"
"We come with sincerity and friendliness." Cai Bin performed a local salute.
Then he quickly ran back and briefly explained the situation to Feng Yi and others.
"That child is indeed the grandson of the village chief. His name is Sulaim. He is said to be very smart and capable. His family has high hopes for him. The village chief is now organizing people to go to the forbidden area to look for him. Brother Yi, you should get ready now. They will set off soon. How many of you will go?"
Feng Yi said: "You and Feng Shou stay here, I will take them there. Aning also knows a little bit of the language here."
Feng Yi was talking about Xiao Ding. When facing outsiders, they would say the name instead of the title.
Feng Yi took Xiaojia and Xiaoding out and asked Cai Bin and Feng to keep them here.
But when Feng Shou heard that they were going to the forbidden area, he said, "I'll go with you too. Maybe we can find some tree species here. Ah Bin, please stay."
Cai Bin immediately said: "I won't!"
Cai Bin didn't want to go out, but he didn't want to be left alone even more!
It's like this on TV: in an unfamiliar place, if the team only has a few people, once they separate, something will always happen to someone, and the one left alone will be the first to get into trouble.
Comparing the local villagers and Feng Yi's gang, he believes in Feng Yi's ability and thinks it is safer to follow Feng Yi!
Anyway, they are not the only ones taking the action. Some villagers are also joining them. With so many people going out together, as long as they are not too curious and follow the large group, their safety will be guaranteed.
Without delay, they quickly packed their equipment and went to the village chief's residence.
The identity of Feng Yi’s expert from the Joint Insurance Bureau was not disclosed to the villagers, and the purpose of his visit was only to look for tree species.
The indigenous people did not have a good impression of the Bureau. Every time the Bureau came, they would not allow people to cut down certain trees or hunt certain animals, and there were a lot of rules.
Therefore, the people here do not know Feng Yi's true identity.
Due to the inconvenience of communication, the literate villagers, such as the village chief, would occasionally ask the deliverymen to bring some newspapers or periodicals from outside, but the information was extremely limited and had a serious lag. They had no idea about the news that Feng Yi had made on the Internet, and they were completely unfamiliar with Feng Yi.
Judging from his appearance alone, the villagers could not associate Feng Yi with the Joint Guarantee Bureau.
When the village chief saw that Feng Yi and the others had all come, they didn't want so many outsiders to follow them.
Cai Bin went over to negotiate.
What they meant was that they all wanted to contribute, but the village chief had more contact with outsiders and understood that outsiders did not feel safe here and liked to stick together.
Worried about the safety of his grandson, the village chief hesitated for a moment and finally agreed, but at the same time he also told Cai Bin that he only needed to point out the direction when the time came, and there were some places that he was not allowed to go.
While Cai Bin was talking to the village chief, Feng Yi also noticed that the villagers were carrying a pig. They didn't kill it directly, but just knocked it unconscious and tied it up.
Slaughtering will produce a bloody smell, and it is not a good thing to bring the bloody smell into the rain forest at this time.
Xiao Ding also listened carefully to the discussions of the villagers around him. Perhaps the villagers thought that among Feng Yi and his companions, only the guide Cai Bin could understand what they were saying, so they were not too cautious.
Xiao Ding whispered to Feng Yi, "I heard that it is probably in the forbidden area. The people who were carrying the pig just now are one of the few people in the village who can go to the forbidden area. They looked very scared."
After listening again, Xiao Ding whispered, "A villager said that if a child of this age goes to a forbidden area, he may not come back, so the village chief is very worried."
There is only one child about ten years old in the village chief's family, and Feng Yi can identify the smell left by a child of this age.
Distinguishing the smell information left in the air, Feng Yi raised his chin and pointed in a direction: "Is it over there?"
Xiao Ding: “Yes.”
Feng Yi: “It’s been a while.”
Xiao Ding: "Indeed, some villagers said that everyone's attention was on us this afternoon. The child did not come back for dinner that night, and the family went outside to call him but there was no response. They searched all night but still could not find him. The village chief could only ask the villagers for help."
The team set off quickly.
The village chief first asked Feng Yi to identify the smell.
Under the questioning and wary gazes of the crowd, Feng Yi pretended to take the piece of clothing from the child handed to him by the village chief, and fanned it with his other hand, pretending to identify the smell.
During this process, Xiao Ding had very good hearing and heard some villagers say that Feng Yi looked like a dog.
Xiao Ding pursed his lips and decided to pretend he didn't hear it.
Feng Yi didn’t know what the villagers were saying about him. The emotions of the people around him were a bit complicated, but there was no strong malice, so he didn’t need to care.
After handing the child's clothes back to the village chief, Feng Yi raised his hand and pointed in a direction: "Over there."
The child followed the scent and walked into the woods.
The village chief and several other people followed with surprised expressions.
Cai Bin followed closely and asked Feng Shou beside him:
"Are not you afraid?"
Feng Shou: "What are you afraid of?"
Cai Bin: "All kinds. For example, spiders, reptiles, scorpions, and poisonous snakes."
Feng Shou touched the zodiac coin he was wearing and said, "Don't be afraid, I have a talisman."
Cai Bin: "Tsk, I have one too. I went to the temple and paid a high price for it!"
Feng Shou smiled and said nothing.
Cai Bin: "What are you laughing at? I always feel like there's a sense of superiority in your laughter!"
Feng Shou: "No, you heard it wrong."
Cai Bin: "Still trying to quibble. We have known each other for so many years, how could I not know you
He wanted to see Feng Shou's amulet, but the team had already entered the rain forest, so he stopped talking, calmed down, paid attention to the movements around him, and followed the team closely.
Especially Feng Yi.
Cai Bin didn't quite trust the villagers here, and he felt safer following Feng Yi. He had already figured it out: Feng Yi was such a rich man, but he dared to come to such a place with only two followers. He must have some hidden tricks!
Feng Yi is an expert. If you really encounter a poisonous snake, you don’t need to be afraid with him around!
The village chief did not lead people straight to the forbidden area at the beginning. Since this outsider said that he had a keen sense of smell, he did have hope. But as he walked, he found that this outsider was also heading towards the forbidden area. He immediately called two villagers, ran in front of Feng Yi, and stared at him closely from the left and right.
Feng Yi didn't care and continued to move forward along the scent. There were some difficult sections of the road that he could pass easily without even the villagers' reminders.
Sometimes Feng Yi could even find a stone under the grass or an inconspicuous depression and remind everyone to pay attention.
The village chief and others looked at Feng Yi with more and more doubt and uncertainty, but they were more worried about the safety of their grandson, so they held back and did not say anything.
As they were about to reach the forbidden area, the village chief was about to speak when Feng Yi suddenly stopped:
"Is that his?"
The light from Feng Yi's flashlight was pointed at a location on the ground.
The village chief's son walked over quickly and found a wooden whistle on a branch of the bush ahead. He said excitedly, "It's his!"
As he spoke, he took out a wooden whistle and blew it rhythmically. It sounded like the call of some bird at night.
As they searched along the way, they would blow the bell like this from time to time.
When they enter the woods, they do not shout loudly, but use some whistles that the villagers can understand to convey information.
"No wonder we didn't hear Sulaim's whistle, it turns out it fell here!" said a villager.
Cai Bin walked up to Feng Yi and translated in a low voice.
He muttered again: "Further ahead is the restricted area they mentioned. I don't know how the child is doing now."
Feng Yi discerned the breath coming from the evening breeze: "Still alive."
Just as Cai Bin was about to ask for the reason, he heard shouting in the distance, which sounded like a child's cry.
The villagers also heard it, ran forward a few steps and looked at the village chief.
The village chief directed the two people carrying the pig to walk to the front.
Hearing the child's voice, the village chief and others breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that he could shout out meant that he was still alive and at least there was a response.
But in this place, you can't let your guard down as long as you haven't seen anyone.
Hearing the sound, a group of people hurried over there.
The sound was getting closer and closer, and the child seemed to be shouting in the tree.
That's right, there are too many dangers on the ground.
As they were walking, the village chief suddenly made a stop gesture to Feng Yi and his companions, meaning that Feng Yi and his companions could not go any further.
Now that they have found the person, Feng Yi and the others really don't need to go forward.
Cai Bin said to the village chief: "Okay, we'll wait here."
Next, the village chief and his companions carried the pig and continued to move forward, but their pace slowed down a lot. It was not that they were not in a hurry, but that they were more cautious. It seemed that they had to pay attention to what was under their feet, what was around them, and what was nearby with every step forward.
Cai Bin said: "The rainforest is indeed very dangerous. This is not even the inner circle of the rainforest, but it already makes people feel uneasy. It always feels like we are being watched by some fierce beast."
Feng Yi: "Yeah. There's a python over there, don't get close."
These words almost made Cai Bin jump up, but he was prepared after all. There are many snakes in the tropical rainforest, and there are many big pythons.
I definitely won’t get close, but when I see it I’m still curious: “Where is it?”
"There." Feng Yi pointed over there with the flashlight.
There are some stagnant water and grass, as well as dead leaves and rotten wood.
Cai Bin's eyes almost popped out of his sockets, but he still couldn't find it: "Where?"
Feng Yi: "There. That's where the flashlight is pointing."
Cai Bin's eyes were almost blinded: "Aren't there leaves and wood there?"
Feng Yi said impatiently, strode over and reached out to grab it.
"here!"
A round body covered with stripes and scales was fished out from the chaotic background.
Thicker than Cai Bin’s thigh!
Cai Bin:!
!
“Aaaaah! *%&¥$”
This was not shouted by Cai Bin, but by a villager who came over to keep an eye on him.
It’s just that this villager was very emotional and his expression was exaggerated.
Feng Yi: "What is he yelling about?"
Cai Bin: "He said you blasphemed their gods!"
Feng Yi:
Feng Yi pulled the struggling body in his hand again.
This thing
God
