Chapter 409 The So-Called Messenger

The tone was strong and the words were sharp.

The anger was direct!

The village chief's momentum was completely different from before, and he was not polite at all.

The bravery of the local residents of the tropical rainforest, who seemed to smell the smell of blood, was revealed without a doubt!

The head of a village is so terrifying!

It's a pity that the language is not communicated.

In addition, the accent became heavier due to the emotional outburst. Even Feng Shou, who knew a little bit of the local language, could not get the other party's meaning in the first time.

The deterrent effect was greatly reduced.

Except for the translator Cai Bin, who had the biggest mood swings, Feng Yi and Feng Shou showed the same confusion.

Then he looked at Cai Bin.

What's going on?

Why did the village chief suddenly seem to have his lungs pierced?

Even if he talked about sensitive topics, it was out of concern for his health. His emotions shouldn't be so strong, right?

However, Cai Bin, who knew the temperament of the local residents, raised his radar of vigilance directly, and the sound of "wow".

Not that bad, right? Why is it so bad? !

He also thought that the village chief overreacted, but the current situation showed that they still underestimated the impact of certain topics on the indigenous people.

Being able to become the village chief here, he has both a smooth side and a stubborn side. He did not expect that he would change his face completely.

For a while, the atmosphere in the room was extremely solemn.

Because the village chief suddenly slammed the table, the layout of the room also looked messy.

The village chief just got emotional, but Feng Yi reacted faster. Before the village chief slammed the table, he first picked up the rice bowl in front of him... cough, the dinner plate, and even the coconut shells in the dinner plate were steadily picked up, without a drop of soup being affected.

Feng Shou, who was sitting next to him, was not that fast. He silently wiped the few drops of soup that splashed on his face with a tissue, looked at Feng Yi, and cast a look for help.

There was no way. Feng Shou could not bear this scene.

Even if Feng Yi had not said this just now, his conversation with the village chief was not very harmonious.

At this moment, the village chief's sharp eyes swept across the three outsiders present, and then fell on Feng Yi again.

A moment ago, the village chief thought this person looked the most pleasing to the eye, but now he thought he was disgusting!

To him, Feng Yi's words just now were a great offense!

If it were the other two people at the table, the village chief would have violently slammed the coconut shells that held the food!

But thinking back to what he saw last night, the village chief still suppressed the surging dissatisfaction and violent anger, hiding these sharp emotions in every wrinkle on his face.

Take a deep breath, and calm down your tone.

The village chief stared at Feng Yi and said, "Mr. Feng, you said you came with friendship."

Feng Yi was not frightened by the village chief's terrifying expression just now. As for what he said just now, he was just stating a fact.

However, he still underestimated the local culture here. He should be more tactful and respect the local indigenous cultural beliefs.

"Of course." Feng Yi put down the plate and took out a certificate from his pocket, "I am a snake expert."

He did not deliberately say that he was a snake catcher, nor did he show the certificate issued by the Joint Guarantee Bureau, which the locals rejected very much, but took another certificate.

He prepared several certificates this time, and showed different certificates according to different situations.

The village chief took a look at the opened certificate. It seemed more authoritative, and it was also in English, so he could understand it a little.

The village chief's expression eased a little: "So, you are a doctor?"

Cai Bin originally planned to translate it into "veterinarian", but when he thought of the villagers' beliefs and the village chief's overreaction just now, he translated it into "doctor" for safety reasons.

Feng Yi did not dwell on this word. In this situation, he neither admitted nor denied it, but just said again in a tactful way: "From an expert's perspective, objectively describing that...that person's body mass index may be a little excessive, and needs to be slightly controlled."

After proving his identity, Feng Yi decided to talk about the health of the giant python.

When he pulled the python up in the rainforest, what came to his mind was a picture he saw during the lecture - the distribution of fat on snakes with different body mass indexes.

Feng Yi knew this because he always heard Steve talk about this one being too light and that one being overweight. A few days ago, he attended a seminar and listened to a report. A reptile researcher also mentioned obesity in snakes, so Feng Yi reminded the village chief not to feed the pigs too frequently. The python was obviously overweight!

There are still gains from listening to lectures and reports. Feng Yi selected some key information to tell the village chief.

The village chief listened very seriously about the health of the python.

But the more he listened, the tighter his brows were.

The village chief was suspicious: "Really?"

Feng Yi: "From the perspective of experts..."

The village chief looked unhappy: "Don't mention experts!"

Feng Yi: "OK, let's analyze it from a professional perspective."

Continue to state the interests involved.

You guys think so highly of that python, you must pay attention to its health, don't feed it too much, it's hard to grow so big.

As we all know, pythons are powerful and covered with muscles, but those overweight individuals will still accumulate a lot of fat.

People living here should know very well what the wild pythons in the rainforest should be.

Feng Yi asked: "Don't you find that one is too... heavy?"

The village chief said arrogantly: "That's the favor of the gods!"

Feng Yi: ...

Forget it.

The filter is too thick and can't be broken.

Avoiding this question, Feng Yi said: "You still have to control yourself and don't feed too often."

The snake was quite greedy. In addition to the pigs fed by the villagers, it probably ate a lot of unlucky animals passing by.

But with the frequency of villagers feeding pork, the health of the snake would be more serious, so Feng Yi insisted.

This time, the village chief did not classify it as "offense". He listened to what Feng Yi said just now, but he didn't show it on his face, and others couldn't tell whether he believed it or not.

But judging from the emotional information, the village chief tended to believe it.

So Feng Yi didn't continue to persuade him. As long as the village chief listened to what he said just now and kept it in mind, he would definitely pay attention to the feeding frequency.

And Feng Yi's appropriate stop also made the village chief more satisfied.

Sure enough, after looking at it, Feng Yi was the most pleasing to the eye!

The atmosphere eased a lot in the following time. Although the village chief still did not agree to Feng Shou to follow him to find the fruit tree, he promised Feng Shou that he would take a live video when looking for the fruit tree, and dig some soil at the location of the fruit tree.

The price was agreed upon, and as long as sensitive topics were not involved, the village chief was still very easygoing.

Feng Shou also understood that he could say anything, but he didn't talk about their beliefs.

Therefore, Feng Yi was originally curious about why the villagers worshipped the python as a god, but now he didn't ask too much, and even if he asked, he couldn't ask the village chief.

Coming out of the village chief's house, they returned to their temporary residence.

Cai Bin whispered: "I didn't see the village chief's grandson, just the child I found in the rainforest last night."

Feng Yi said: "In the next house."

Cai Bin thought Feng Yi saw it, so he didn't ask much, but just sighed in a low voice: "The villagers here are not so easy to get along with. The village chief is quite scary when he loses his temper."

Passing by a statue of "God and Snake" in the village, Feng Yi slowed down his pace, looked at the villagers active nearby, and his eyes fell on one of the young villagers.

It can be seen that this young villager has more contact with the outside world, and his clothing style and accessories have more external elements. It is very likely that he is not one of the people who enter and leave the forbidden area in the village.

The young man's target was also Feng Yi and his friends. He brought some small ornaments with local characteristics and asked if they were interested.

He communicated with the outside world more frequently and knew a little bit of the common language. Although he had an accent, he could express his meaning and communicate directly without Cai Bin's translation word by word.

Feng Yi bought some small items. They brought cash this time, and these small items didn't cost much.

Feng Yi carried change with him and didn't show off. The villagers looked at him without greed.

When buying these small items, Feng Yi casually mentioned it and looked at the statue not far away: "Do you worship snakes?"

The young villager corrected: "We believe in snake gods! Snakes are just messengers sent by gods!"

In terms of faith, villagers don't tell outsiders too much, but this sentence can already let Feng Yi understand the general situation.

Feng Yi doesn't believe in snake gods, messengers, etc.

I don't know which tribe member came here to play with snakes and was seen by the villagers, so they regarded him as a god.

The so-called forbidden area should be the place where the tribesmen used to appear.

The so-called messenger may be a lucky snake that broke in while foraging, and was regarded as a messenger of the gods by the villagers and fed to the pigs.

Of course, these are just Feng Yi's guesses.

The village has lived here for too long, and the time nodes of the story are too far apart. The information left is limited, and there are only these very rough statues and stories passed down from generation to generation by the villagers living here.

But the content of the story may not be the truth.

For example, the snake played by the tribesman is an "envoy" in the story passed down by the villagers. In fact, is it a pet? Or is it food hunted?

But I have to say that the snake caught last night is really fat, with a lot of fat.

Feng Yi stared at the rain forest, then retracted his gaze and returned to his residence with others.

The giant python that was swallowing a pig in the rain forest inexplicably felt a sense of crisis, which made it want to vomit and run away.

But this sense of crisis appeared suddenly and disappeared quickly.

What should I do?

The meat in the mouth smells so good...

Its brain is not developed, so it can't think too much in such a short time.

After a short pause.

Following instinct, since there is no crisis, just continue to eat!

Ah, ah, continue to swallow the pig!

It smells so good!

It used to be a habit of hiding during the day and coming out at night, but it was too frightened the night before and couldn't get up the interest to find food. It found a place and stayed until daytime, and wanted to continue sleeping.

However, the trees here are tall and dense, blocking the sunlight, and there is a cool area below, and there is a familiar smell of food, so the appetite came, and ran out to eat the pig.

Although there were a few small twists and turns in the process of swallowing, it was still very happy to eat, and after swallowing the pig, it found a place to stay at home.
