It was not a suitable situation to have a chat in front of so many villagers and with a giant python wrapped around his body.
"Let’s talk about it when we get back." Feng Yi said to Cai Bin.
Gently place the python on the ground.
After touching the ground, the giant python, which was already repelled by the complex atmosphere here, moved away from them.
A python of this size could only crawl on the ground at a limited speed, but it had already shown a firm attitude at this time, and in a short while, it disappeared from everyone's sight.
The atmosphere at the scene became relaxed as the python disappeared. Those who had just breathed lightly and dared not speak, now breathed a sigh of relief.
The crisis was resolved and the missing person was found. The group did not stay there for long and quickly returned to the village. There was no communication along the way and they continued on their journey in silence.
It was late at night. Although the villagers, represented by the village chief, had many questions they wanted to discuss with Feng Yi, now was indeed not the right time.
After returning to the village safely, everyone went back to their respective residences, and Feng Yi and his companions also returned to their temporary residence.
After closing the door, Cai Bin looked carefully through the window. Seeing that no one was approaching outside, he relaxed and started chatting with Feng Yi.
Although it was late, the experience in the rainforest was very stimulating and Cai Bin was not sleepy at this time.
"Brother Yi, when we entered the forest earlier, were the pigs that the villagers carried for the python?"
Feng Yi nodded: "It should be."
Cai Bin: "Then the offering was not delivered to the owner this time. It's such a big pig! Don't waste it!"
The villagers carried the pig to find the child who had entered the restricted area, but the python was not inside, but at the edge of the restricted area.
Feng Yi said nonchalantly, "It smelled the scent and will come looking for it. It ran from the restricted area to the edge in search of food. With its size, it should be able to eat a lot. It has a big appetite, like a glutton."
Today, the pig was knocked unconscious by the villagers and carried over. It was still alive, so it would eat it. Anyway, from the looks of it, it had already digested most of the pig it had eaten.
Cai Bin didn’t think too much about whether he was a pig or a glutton. What surprised him more was the interaction between Feng Yi and the python today!
He is worthy of being an expert certified by the Joint Insurance Bureau!
Playing with a python is as easy as teasing a puppy!
But when I thought about the villagers viewing the python as a god, I felt a little regretful.
Cai Bin: "Brother Yi, if you had interacted more with the giant python, the villagers would probably have worshipped you!"
Feng Yi explained: "More interactions or something, definitely not. Pythons don't have that much brain capacity and tend to act on instinct. You can't expect them to understand more complex information."
Feng Yi was only using his own characteristics to communicate information to it that transcended species. It was a simple, one-way communication, and he also provided guidance, otherwise the python would not have cooperated so well.
As for the more complicated ones, they certainly cannot be completed in a short period of time.
Cai Bin didn't think too much about it. He thought Feng Yi was talking about normal cross-species information exchange and emotional expression. You really can't expect too much from reptiles like snakes. He met a stray cat with a good temper while walking. It expressed emotions and interacted with more behaviors than the python.
Cai Bin: "That python looks really big, but it's only seven meters long. I thought I had encountered a spirit! At first glance, I thought it might be nine meters long, but it should be at least eight meters long, right?"
Feng Yi said: "Seven meters is already considered an extreme individual. There are many records of more than eight meters. In fact, there are not so many real measurements, and previous data do not leave enough evidence.
In the early years, we lacked various tools, so we didn’t mention it and just reported random numbers. But now we need more accurate measurement data. Seven meters is indeed the limit for individuals, but generally, those over seven meters are mostly artificially bred. It is difficult to produce such a large size in the wild. "
Cai Bin: "But can this one really be considered wild? Isn't it raised... and provided by the villagers?"
Feng Yi paused and said, "Half-wild, I guess."
There is no shortage of food and there is no need to run around. When you are hungry and can't find food around, someone will naturally bring food to you.
When it is hungry, someone will feed it, and when it is full, it will find a place to sleep. The living environment does not pose too many risks, and it is too lazy to move around too much. As long as it does not suffer from serious illness, it can be said that its life is quite comfortable!
No wonder he's fat!
Cai Bin thought back to the size of the python: "Can a snake of this size eat humans?"
Feng Yi: "It is said that a creature over six meters long is already a threat. Theoretically, we can eat a creature of this size."
Cai Bin touched the goose bumps on his hand and said, "This one has never eaten a human, has it?"
Feng Yi said: "Probably not, after all, there are pigs in the village. Regardless of whether it eats people or not, if you encounter a python of this size in the rain forest, it will definitely be very dangerous. It is best to avoid it if you encounter it."
Cai Bin said with a click of his tongue: "Why would the villagers worship snakes when there are so many other things they can worship?"
Feng Yi corrected: "What they worship is not snakes, but 'snake gods', a name they gave themselves."
Cai Bin: "Are snakes different from snake gods? Snakes are pets of snake gods or something. From what they call them, their symbolic meanings are similar."
Feng Yi asked quietly, "Is it possible that snakes can be pets or food for the Snake God?"
Without saying anything more to Cai Bin, Feng Yi said to Feng Shou, "The fruit tree you want should be there, but it's not convenient to find it at night. Ask the village chief tomorrow."
He also smelled the scent of the fruit tree that Feng Shou was looking for in the rain forest today, but it was a little far away and the villagers were keeping a close eye on them and would not let them get there.
"Okay, Brother Yi."
Feng Shou was not in a hurry. Even if the villagers did not agree, he would think of other ways to search. By exploring the rainforest tonight, he would at least know what the situation was inside.
Because of what happened at night, everyone was not in good spirits the next day. It was not that they didn’t want to make up for the sleep, but that they were not used to the surrounding environment.
The house is not soundproof, and it is still dawn when the outside starts to get lively. Not only are there sounds of people, but also animals, such as birds that get up early to forage and socialize.
To thank them for their help last night, the villagers prepared a rich breakfast with plenty of portions. If you adapt to the local eating habits, this can be considered a feast.
Cai Bin looked at the large plates of breakfast in front of him, but he didn't have much appetite and felt he couldn't finish them.
He finally fell asleep last night and dreamed of a python that jumped out from the muddy water and wrapped around him, waking him up in the middle of the night from the shock.
Thinking about things, he felt a little listless and ate absent-mindedly. Then he found that the plate was empty. Cai Bin looked at the others and then at himself.
shock!
I'm the only one with a poor appetite?!
Then he looked at Feng Shou next to him. He was also in poor spirits, with obvious dark circles under his eyes, but he was still in high spirits.
I can understand that. After all, the fruit trees have been resolved.
The most obvious contrast is among the three people on Feng Yi's side.
They all seemed to be in good spirits, especially Feng Yi, whose face was flushed with rosy glow, and he didn't look like he had just gone to catch a snake last night.
After dinner and a short rest, the village chief called them over to discuss the fruit trees.
After all, the village chief is old, and he was so exhausted by what happened last night that he hasn't recovered even after a whole night.
Feng Yi and his companions came to the village chief's small house which was specially used to receive guests and saw that the village chief was also in a bad mood.
Because of what happened last night, the village chief's attitude towards Feng Yi was much friendlier than the day before, and he felt that Feng Yi was indeed the most pleasing one among this group of outsiders!
Feng Yi, Feng Shou and Cai Bin were invited in. Xiao Ding and Xiao Jia were not allowed in, so they were politely asked to wait outside.
Normally, the village chief would not easily invite outsiders into the inner room. This shows that the village chief's attitude towards Feng Yi has escalated.
Entering the inner room, Feng Yi first saw a wooden pipe with a patina hanging on the wall.
"Is that a blowpipe?" Feng Yi asked.
Translated by Cai Bin.
The village chief smiled and said, "It's a blowpipe. I have used it to hunt many prey before."
The blowpipe combined with poison arrows is one of their hunting methods, but it is not considered a local hidden weapon. Feng Yi is not unfamiliar with it and can often be seen in some costume dramas.
Of course, the ones in movies and TV dramas are more refined.
After sitting down in the house, the village chief's family brought some food on a wooden plate, filled with coconut shells, to entertain the guests with full sincerity.
Cai Bin was just about to reach out to take it, but the other party passed him and handed it directly to Feng Yi. With a warm smile, he served Feng Yi the largest portion first. This was specially prepared by them for their distinguished guest!
For them, food is the best way to express love!
Only then would he distribute the smaller portions to Cai Bin and the others, and the smile on his face would become more polite.
There is no such thing as not talking while eating or sleeping here. Things can be discussed while eating and drinking.
The meal that the village chief specially ordered to be prepared was obviously more exquisite and complex than breakfast. It smelled more delicious and tasted quite good.
The village chief sincerely thanked Feng Yi for helping him find his grandson last night, and promised to help them find the tree species, but refused Feng Shou's request to follow him in.
If it was Feng Yi, the village chief would still be a little hesitant because of what he saw yesterday.
But the wind stops
Who are you
That's our forbidden area!
That area is where the gods lived!
What is your relationship with the gods
Are you worthy?!
Feng Shou did not let Feng Yi get involved in the debate on this issue from the beginning. He first discussed the conditions with the village chief himself. While Cai Bin helped translate, he saw that the situation was not good and was thinking about how to persuade him.
Feng Yi still has to step in on this matter. With Feng Yi's cleverness, he will definitely be able to convince the village chief...
While thinking, Cai Bin raised his eyes and looked towards Feng Yi, ready to give Feng Yi a wink.
Then I found out—
The sponsor was eating happily like a glutton!
Brother, do you still remember why we came here?!
It’s not long until breakfast now!
You ate a lot this morning!
Cai Bin, who had not digested his breakfast at all and had no appetite at all, felt deeply that he had lost. Feng Shou could still hold on a little longer, but Cai Bin himself could not eat at all.
As expected, I am the only weak one!
While doubting my own physical condition, I was also amazed at how big other people's appetites were.
Cai Bin gently kicked Feng Yi with his foot to remind him: Brother, we agreed before we came here to help Feng Shou solve this small problem!
Feng Yi's attention shifted away from the food.
Cai Bin coughed lightly: "Brother Yi, say a few words."
The village chief looked at Feng Yi, his expression slightly softened, but only slightly. When it came to some issues of principle, he didn't want to listen to Feng Yi's advice!
But it's not easy to find someone you like, and that person is also favored by the gods. You can't make the relationship too awkward, and it's better to be tactful when you object.
The village chief was thinking about how to refuse, and then he heard Feng Yi's words.
Feng Yi said to the village chief sincerely, "From an expert's point of view, the one you worship is, well, a little fat!"
Cai Bin… Cai Bin translated honestly.
The village chief's face fell and he slammed the table in anger: "What's so fat about it?! It's so strong and beautiful! Are you blind?!
