Chapter 471 If I Am Not Mistaken
This different temperament is beyond the chief's conventional understanding of "Joint Guarantee Bureau experts", and he can't help but question his identity.
He has lived in the tribe for so many years, and he has seen many experts from the Joint Guarantee Bureau, but none of them is this kind...
Uh...
Such...
Forget it, he doesn't look like an expert no matter how you look at it!
The chief has learned from the villagers about the general process of the other party entering the village until now. Even if this visitor shows his ID, the fake ID can be made very real!
The boys in the village may have been deceived, and he must see it himself!
But don't worry, it's dark, and the other party is going to stay here overnight.
The other party is only one person, and this is the territory of their tribe!
The chief patiently watched quietly beside him.
Feng Yi certainly knew that the chief was coming, but since the other party did not jump out immediately to interrupt the transaction, he would cooperate with the other party first, and he is busy now!
Feng Yi continued to receive the goods.
The whole process seemed very casual, and he believed whatever the villagers said, but it was not the case.
For example, for barbecue or dried meat, he can tell whether the raw materials are protected animals, what species they are, and which part of the animal they are from just one smell. Don't try to fool him!
Whether the villagers are lying or not can also be judged from emotional information.
So, although Feng Yi seems to be very reckless in his words, and looks like a fool with a lot of money, he still knows what he is doing. He is not just eating and not caring about anything.
He brought a lot of money with him, and he is not short of this money, but he is not a sucker. He has already inquired about the prices before coming here, and even if there are fluctuations, they should not exceed this range.
It's not that Feng Yi is stingy, but that the price rules cannot be easily broken here.
He can pay more, but what about the next time other scientific expedition teams come here?
The prices in this area have finally stabilized and cannot be disturbed.
So Feng Yi still buys supplies at regular prices, but he just buys more.
The more he buys, the more the villagers earn, and both sides are very satisfied.
Feng Yi: I'm hungry, I understand, I know what I'm doing!
Villager: Good man! Distinguished guest! He's throwing money!
The atmosphere was particularly harmonious, and both the host and the guest were happy.
Feng Yi thought: Only a tribe that often contacts the outside world can be so decisive to come up with so many satisfactory materials!
All he had to do was to pay the money, without having to talk too much... No, he still had to talk a little.
Literally.
You have to taste it.
Outsiders may not be able to adapt to the taste of local people. But Feng Yi adapted very well.
The chief was amazed at the side.
If it had not been confirmed that there was only one visitor today, he would have thought that there was an inspection team here!
In this transaction process, the other party acted like a team.
After all, the village is not big and the number of people is limited. This outrageous transaction finally ended.
The crowd dispersed, but the enthusiasm did not fade. It was just that the increasingly dark sky restricted the villagers' performance, and the children who watched the excitement were called back to the house.
Many villagers invited Feng Yi to visit their homes when he was free. Maybe there was something else he was interested in?
The chief came over, introduced himself, and stated his identity.
The voice was quite friendly: "Hello, guest from afar! Are you... an expert from the Joint Guarantee Bureau? Can I see your ID?"
"Of course."
Feng Yi handed over the ID.
During this process, the chief carefully observed Feng Yi's subtle expressions and movements.
But Feng Yi did not lie, and he was not guilty at all.
The chief took the ID and carefully identified it, not missing any details of the anti-counterfeiting mark on it.
After confirming it again and again, he had to admit that this guest was indeed an expert certified by the Joint Guarantee Bureau!
He was also a snake expert!
It was amazing!
In this case, the chief temporarily put aside his doubts. Although he did not understand, he still gave due respect to the experts certified by the Joint Guarantee Bureau.
At this time, another villager ran over. Seeing the chief here, he paused and saluted the chief. After getting the chief's consent, he continued to smile and said to Feng Yi:
Dear guest, the room is ready for you! You can go to rest at any time! "
The guesthouse was not far away, and the window was open. Feng Yi looked over there.
The bed was already drawn inside, and the pattern was the favorite color of the locals, and it looked relatively new.
The bed here is a hammock. If there are guests, the hammock will be pulled up and they will sleep on it at night.
"If you don't like it, you can change it." The villagers said.
"This one is good. Thank you. "
Feng Yi remembered this villager.
This villager had a lot of supplies stored at home and made a lot of money today. He was enthusiastic from the bottom of his heart.
There were many mosquitoes here, but the guest room had been fumigated with herbs. The smell in the air confirmed this to Feng Yi.
There was no electricity here, but there were emergency equipment such as solar charging lights. Normally, if the guests did not ask and pay a deposit, the villagers would not take them out easily.
These items are important items here.
However, now the villagers have prepared various items very considerately, which can be said to be very caring.
The villagers are no longer worried that Feng Yi will default on the bill when he settles the bill.
But now Feng Yi did not go to the room to rest immediately. The chief talked to him.
Feng Yi asked the villagers to help move all the supplies to the room, and he followed the chief.
I ate too much, so it would be good to take a walk first.
It was not dark yet, and the lights were not on in the chief's house. It was inconvenient to use electricity here, and it was not suitable to turn on the lights at night unless the doors and windows were closed.
The chief poured a glass of water for Feng Yi, sat down face to face, and looked at the guest.
He might meet hundreds or even more experts in his life. Many years later, when he was about to return to the rainforest, he would remember such an expert with a unique temperament and aloof behavior.
The chief originally wanted to ask Feng Yi what he was doing in the rainforest, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly changed his mind: "You bought so much food, are there other companions around?"
"Only me." Feng Yi said.
The chief paused, deeply puzzled: "Our food production conditions are limited, and it cannot be kept for a long time in the rainforest environment. You need to eat it in a short time."
Feng Yi: "Don't worry, I can."
I wanted to say "I eat a lot, and it can last a long time after eating once", but it was too strange to say it.
So he said, "I am indeed hungry, I have a good appetite and digest quickly."
The chief was still puzzled: "You bought so many things, how can you take them away?"
Feng Yi: "Eat some and take some away."
While talking with the chief, Feng Yi also observed this reception room with a very local style.
It can be seen that the chief is a very tasteful person.
As the absolute authority of the tribe, even when expressing friendship, there is an invisible pressure.
And in this carefully decorated room, those strange patterns, illogical furnishings, primitive and barbaric combinations, domineering and arrogant, visual, olfactory and other perceptions bring strong psychological pressure, which will make visitors feel the mysterious and crisis-filled side of this rainforest.
The pressure is piled up.
But Feng Yi is immune to this pressure.
He even looked for suitable souvenirs in these furnishings to buy and take back.
Looking at a place, Feng Yi raised his hand and pointed to a location, and asked politely: "Excuse me, can I see that?"
The chief looked at the wall next to him with various decorations hanging on it, his expression unchanged:
"Which one?"
"The one woven with red, yellow, green and black, and the pattern shape is a bit like a skull." Feng Yi said.
The chief's eyes changed for a moment, but he quickly restrained it and said calmly: "I'm very sorry, it has a special meaning in our tribe. According to our tribal customs, outsiders are not allowed to touch it!"
It's "not allowed."
The tone is also firm.
Generally in this context, if forced without permission, they will return the "indigenous courtesy".
Feng Yi did not give up, and looked at the ornament on the wall again.
The maker used dyed straw ropes to wrap and weave it on it, covering its original appearance.
This ornament is indeed a symbol of tribal power, and it is only hung in the chief's home.
But the statement that outsiders are not allowed to touch it is questionable.
Feng Yi didn't say much, just smiled slightly, took out his Joint Guarantee Bureau expert certificate, and asked the chief to look at the professional type introduction on the certificate.
Snake expert.
The chief's facial muscles were a little tense, and he remained silent.
Feng Yi continued: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be a vertebra of some kind of snake."
The chief's facial muscles became more rigid. He was not worried or afraid, but his eyes were heavy, thinking about how to solve the problem in front of him.
He had to admit that he was still capable of becoming a certified expert of the Joint Guarantee Bureau at such a young age, and his strength should not be underestimated!
Feng Yi smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, the current law will not pursue past behavior. If I'm not mistaken, this vertebra should be two hundred years old? No, even longer, maybe more than three hundred years ago."
Let alone two or three hundred years, even twenty or thirty years ago, many of the current national protected animals were just food for people at that time.
Feng Yi's words only dispelled a trivial concern in the chief's heart, but Feng Yi's attitude made the chief think deeply.
He really didn't want to hear Feng Yi say "If I'm not mistaken" again!
The chief was silent for a long time before he sighed: "You are indeed an expert from the Joint Security Bureau!"
The rope was so tightly covered, how did you see it? !
He could even accurately say "snake vertebrae"!
Are the experts from the Joint Security Bureau so good? !
