Chapter 179 Is This Still Possible?

Feng Yi spent this New Year's Eve very satisfied. It was the most relaxing one since he left the Feng family. I also enjoyed the New Year’s Eve dinner.

There are no worries and not much psychological pressure.

Take a look at the New Year’s Eve updates in chat groups and Moments, and interact with everyone. The past few years have not been so leisurely. I was either working or preparing for work.

Two friends from Rongcheng also video chatted with Feng Yi. They invited Feng Yi to have New Year's Eve dinner together before. Feng Yi said that he had arrangements. Now they made a video call to see how Feng Yi was doing and how he was doing. Okay, I'm relieved. But what they envied most was the temperature here in Yangcheng. The highest daytime temperature in Yangcheng these two days has been over 20 degrees, but those in Rongcheng wear down jackets.

There are relatives and friends in Fengyi's chat app, as well as former partners. In comparison, there are very few blood relatives. My biological parents have not been in contact for several years and have disappeared from the address book.

Thinking of the refusal during the most difficult time last year, Feng Yi paused while flipping through the phone book and returned the page.

Let's all be well.

Feng Yi also received a call from Feng Chi in the evening.

Feng Chi and the others had New Year's Eve dinner at the old house this year. Everyone went there, including several people from his aunt's family, as well as a few people who were often absent in previous years because of their busy work or studies.

It might not have been there before, but this year it means a lot.

The Feng family's fight for the family property was only secretly done before, but now it's almost out in the open.

"The old man doesn't know what he is thinking. When he was chatting with someone a few days ago, he specifically said that he would make a will after the new year. During this time, the currents and undercurrents are very turbulent. You come and go with me at the dinner table. Oh my god. , one meal gave me indigestion," Feng Chi complained.

"Someone mentioned you, but the old man's attitude is very strange. He is obviously angry, but not completely angry. Those people are so smart. With the subtle expression on the old man's face, they probably have other thoughts about you. You have to Be careful." Feng Chi suggested, "If you want to have a good New Year, don't show up in public."

Feng Yi also didn't want to appear in public. He declined or postponed all the invitations to interview "Brother Snake".

Discussions about "Snake Brother" and "Python King" on the Internet have cooled down quickly because the Chinese New Year has brought more hot topics, but this does not mean that no one is keeping an eye on him.

In addition, the Feng family was competing for family property, and Feng Yi did not want to cause trouble for himself.

The poison glands are still being strengthened, and my teeth itch from time to time. I have to wait for this period to pass before I can travel far.

He planned to go out less often before the 15th day of the first lunar month, and only went to see his dumb uncle on the first day of the lunar month, and also went to pay homage to his ancestral home. Xiaofeng Mountain is in the outer suburbs. No one should pay attention to it. In the past, there were few people who went there to worship.

I sent my best wishes to everyone in the chat group for the Florida python hunting event. Steve, Director He and others did not return to China for the New Year. Originally, Feng Yi was supposed to be with them, but the matter of Venomous Fang and the giant python changed the plan.

The members of the python hunting activity team ordered a New Year's dinner together. Feng Yi watched the videos posted in the group, which was quite lively. Many people didn't go to the swamp today because of the time difference and the New Year's Eve dinner was out of sync, but the atmosphere they arranged was quite good and they even hung red lanterns.

Feng Yi also sent a blessing message to Uncle Mute, asking him how he would eat the New Year's Eve dinner, and by the way, he also mentioned that he would go to his ancestral home tomorrow on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Uncle Dumb replied: "Don't be too early tomorrow!" [video]】

Feng Yi clicked on the video.

I don’t know where Uncle Mute is. There is a circle of people sitting next to the mahjong table. There are old men and old ladies talking about something next to them, and there is a Spring Festival gala in the background. Quite lively but not chaotic.

My uncle is awesome!

Quite good at having fun!

Feng Yi smiled and wrote back to Uncle Dumb, saying that he would come over at about ten o'clock in the morning and bring the old man some meat dishes cooked by the chef at home.

A nursing home near Xiaofengshan.

Uncle Dumb quickly replied to Feng Yi and continued counting cards. With his hand speed in picking tea leaves, he is the only one among his peers who can still send messages and browse the web while counting cards.

An old man asked: "Who are you sending messages to again?"

Uncle Dumb quickly edited on his mobile phone, and then read aloud with his voice: "Junior~the one who called me to celebrate the New Year~"

"That's good. It means I'm thinking about you."

"Annoying! So sticky~"

The mute uncle grinned, played his cards and slapped them on the table.

Sitting next to him was a one-armed old man who called out the cards for him in a loud voice. The two were old partners.

There are many left-behind elderly people here, and Uncle Ya brought many young people over to celebrate the New Year with them.

The mute uncle cannot speak, but everyone in the nursing home knows that this mute old man is not easy to mess with.

Someone in the nursing home used to bully him into not being able to speak. He would curse a lot in front of him and then run away.

I only scolded him in the morning. In the afternoon, Uncle Dumb blocked the door with a Bluetooth speaker. He converted the 2,000-word curse written on his cell phone into a voice, clicked and played it in a loop all afternoon. He also hired four young adults to guard the speaker to prevent anyone from taking it. Turn off the stereo and don't let the people in the house escape.

If you have money, leisure, and an open mind, you will take revenge as soon as possible.

This year, Uncle Mute is staying at the nursing home. He has a room here, where he can eat New Year's dinner, play mahjong and have a good sleep before going back to the mountains tomorrow.

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

In many places, the north wind blows and you have to wear down jackets when traveling. The weather in Yangcheng is so good that people can envy it.

It was already nine o'clock when Feng Yi woke up. Some people he had little contact with before sent him messages last night. It has to be said that this person has more "friends" as he becomes more famous.

When I woke up, I didn't get up immediately and just stayed in bed.

Feng Yi rubbed his cheeks. The poison glands were still changing, and his cheeks were a little itchy and uncomfortable.

Yawned, thinking of something, Feng Yi didn't bother to rub his face, and picked up the phone.

It's time to send New Year's red envelopes to employees.

They are still given a day off today, and Feng Yi plans to go to Xiaofengshan alone.

Originally wanted to call the housekeeper to go together, but the housekeeper refused.

Red envelopes were sent to employees, and each New Year's greeting message in the chat app was replied one by one.

Feng Yi sent a New Year's greeting letter to Uncle Ya.

After a while, Uncle Ya sent a red envelope back.

The amount is quite large.

Did you win money playing mahjong?

After completing the online New Year's greetings, Feng Yi got up with a tail swing.

When I talked to Feng Chi yesterday, the boy said that he hadn't heard anyone mention going to Xiaofengshan to worship the ancestors.

The ancestral home in Xiaofengshan does not have a high presence in the Feng family, because the old man does not attach importance to it. The ancestral worship is arranged by him, and he rarely lets other people participate, and the same is true for the Qingming Festival. Gradually, everyone stopped caring.

They only need to know that there are no ancestors to admire. They can even interpret an important piece of information when analyzing the old man's psychology: the old man has resentment towards his great-grandfather generation.

The Feng family now has only one "ancestor", that is, the old man Feng. The old man is alive and well, and he doesn't like to hear people always mention the word "sacrifice".

The fathers and grandchildren of the Feng family only sacrifice to the three wives of the old man who have passed away.

There were rumors that the old man wanted to choose a place to build an ancestral hall, but there has been no substantial progress. Gradually, no one mentioned "ancestral hall" or the like. After all, not everyone in every place has ancestral hall culture, and if there is, it may not always last.

Times are changing, and etiquette is also changing.

Almost no one of Feng Yi's generation knows that there is an ancestral hall built in the ancestral home of Xiaofengshan.

When Feng Yi drove to Xiaofengshan, a low-key black private car slowly drove from a distance at the foot of Xiaofengshan and stopped at a service station at the foot of the mountain.

This service station is not big. With the development of intelligence, service stations do not need to be staffed all the time.

The car stopped at the designated location, and two young men got off the car.

The younger one is Feng Yi's fourth uncle's child, Feng Qian.

The other is Feng Yi's aunt's eldest son, Luo Kai.

These two do not have the same grandmother as Feng Yi, and they were not very close before, but they have talked about Feng Yi frequently recently. One is the popularity Feng Yi has caused on the Internet, and the other is the old man's strange attitude towards Feng Yi.

Feng Qian got off the car and looked at the sun above his head, frowning and walked to the shade of the service area.

They both had New Year's Eve dinner at the old house yesterday. I didn't pay attention to the ancestral temple before, but Luo Kai found some information. It's not that the old man doesn't care about the ancestral temple, but he has plans to build another one. After discussing, the two of them decided to visit the ancestral house in Xiaofengshan this morning to see if they can find any useful information.

There is a factory at the foot of Xiaofeng Mountain that has some connection with a company under the eldest uncle of the Feng family. In order to avoid being seen, they took a detour and arrived later than expected. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the sun was already high.

Feng Qian opened the map on his phone, checked the location, pointed to a point on the map, and asked Luo Kai, "Are you sure the old man wants to build the ancestral hall there? It is diagonally opposite to Xiaofeng Mountain and very far away."

Luo Kai was not sure, "That's what I found. I guess the old man thinks the feng shui here is not good?"

"Xiaofeng Mountain, the legendary Snake Mountain, but there are no snakes." Feng Qian looked around.

"It is said that the management model has just been changed and a group of people have been transferred away, so no snakes have been seen."

"It's a good change! Snakes should not exist!" Feng Qian is afraid of snakes. When he first learned that the ancestral hall was in the legendary Snake Mountain, he refused, but driven by interests, he came with Luo Kai.

All the way here, his nerves were tense, but when he got here, he only saw a warning sign with a snake symbol, and didn't see a single snake, so the fear in his heart faded a little.

"There's no one in this place! It's creepy, no wonder no one likes to come here!"

They came all the way here, there were cars and people, but none of them went this way. A search on the map showed that there was a cemetery nearby.

"During the New Year, you're going to visit graves in this wilderness, right?"

Feng Qian complained and yawned. He is a senior this year, and it's rare for him to have a holiday at home to rest. He wishes he could sleep until noon every day.

Luo Kai is similar to him, but Luo Kai will graduate from graduate school this year. He has to prepare his thesis, and his parents will take him to deal with some affairs. There are also several important banquets to attend in the first month of the year, so he is very busy. He can only sleep in for a few days around New Year's Eve.

Rubbing his eyes, blowing the wind outside the car, and adjusting his mental state.

"I'll go in to the toilet."

Feng Qian said, and walked into the service station. There is a toilet inside.

Luo Kai walked to the smoking area, lit a cigarette, and carefully thought about the information he had found about the old man in the past two days. Old man Feng did not leave the old house, but he made a lot of movements. He just found out about the new ancestral temple by chance, otherwise he wouldn't have known that the old man had this idea!

They always thought that the old man didn't care about the ancestral temple. After all, the times are changing, and young people have new habits. Many ideas are different from those of the elderly, and no one would think about the ancestral temple.

He has never seen the Feng family ancestral temple!

As a grandson who is doing well, Luo Kai also has a sense of existence in the old man's eyes.

Luo Kai holds a cigarette in his mouth, frowning and thinking about what his mother said last night.

The old man has too many things in his hands, and even a little bit of it leaking through his fingers can make ordinary people full.

But the internal competition is also quite fierce...

Just thinking about it, suddenly there is a scream in the service station:

"There is a snake!!!"

Luo Kai was so shocked that he almost choked. The cigarette butt fell and burned his hand. He didn't care too much and was about to rush in when he saw Feng Qian running out with a pale face.

"There's a snake inside... It's so big!!"

Feng Qian gestured with shaking hands.

Luo Kai took a look. According to Feng Qian's description, the snake inside was as thick as a wrist! However, Feng Qian was too frightened now, so it was understandable that he exaggerated.

"Let's hide in the car!" Luo Kai saw that he was fine and was about to hide in the car. He was also afraid of snakes.

"No hurry." Feng Qian's face had not yet recovered, and he was breathing heavily, but his emotions gradually calmed down, "The snake was stuck in the window and couldn't move."

"...Oh." Luo Kai closed the open car door again. Hearing that the snake was stuck, he was a little curious.

He was really afraid of snakes, but the news about Feng Yi on the Internet during this period made him more unnecessary curious.

"Is the snake really big?" Luo Kai asked.

"Big! How can it be stuck by the window? Isn't it winter now? Shouldn't snakes hibernate?"

"How can they sleep in the winter with a temperature of more than 20 degrees?"

The temperature was a little low in the morning, but now it is close to noon, the temperature has risen, and it has exceeded 20 degrees.

"What should we do now? Call the police?" Feng Qian said and shook his head, "Calling the police will make too much noise, let's ignore it and do business first."

Luo Kai thought so too.

They left first, and the next person to the service station will definitely call the police.

The two got into the car and prepared to drive away.

"There is a car coming!" Feng Qian looked at the entrance of the service station.

Due to the light, the people in the car could not be seen clearly, and they had no impression of the license plate.

"Remind the owner that there is a snake inside and let him call the police." Luo Kai said.

"Yes."

Feng Qian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, unbuckled his seat belt and was about to open the car door when he was stopped by Luo Kai.

"What?" Feng Qian was puzzled.

"It's Feng Yi!"

Feng Qian's face suddenly changed, and he looked to the side, just in time to see Feng Yi getting off the car and looking at them.

The atmosphere was a bit strange.

Since Feng Yi left the Feng family when he went to college, they haven't contacted Feng Yi. The subsequent news was either checked by someone or on the Internet. This is the first time they have met in a few years.

Feng Yi raised his eyebrows, very surprised to see these two here. But he didn't want to talk much. He didn't have a close relationship with these two before, and there was no big hatred. After not seeing them for a few years, he was just alienated. He said indifferently: "Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year." Feng Qian replied stiffly.

Seeing Feng Yi was about to walk into the service station, Feng Qian said: "There is a big snake stuck in the window of the bathroom inside!"

Feng Yi didn't stop and made a gesture to indicate that he knew.

Feng Qian laughed at himself and whispered, "Yeah, Brother Snake, what about the python king? He can catch a seven-meter python, so why would he be afraid of such a small snake!"

After hesitating for a moment, Feng Qian got off the car and walked inside, wanting to see how Feng Yi caught the snake!

Luo Kai also got off the car.

Feng Yi first took care of the urgent need, went to the toilet and simply washed his hands. While wiping the water on his hands, he looked at the snake stuck there.

The King Elaphe, which should have escaped from the reserve, is very fat. It is spitting out its tongue.

There are two kinds of cauliflower snakes that people often talk about, one is the black-browed Elaphe and the other is the King Elaphe. It is non-toxic, and residents near Xiaofengshan are not very afraid of it. Some old people even regard it as a treasure.

Unlike the slender body of the black-browed Elaphe, the King Elaphe is more robust and has a snake-eating nature. After all, it is a snake with the character "king".

This wealthy body, if we select high-quality snake eaters, it also has a place.

The window on the side was broken, with only a gap, which could not be closed tightly or opened. If other people came, they would probably have to use hydraulic pliers to pull the snake out of the gap.

Feng Yi pinched the snake's head with one hand and pried the window with the other hand. He didn't use too much force, just widened the gap a little and pulled the snake out.

He walked out of the bathroom holding the snake. The two people standing at the door stepped back and didn't say anything.

Feng Yi ignored them and continued to walk out.

The two looked at each other and followed in silence.

Feng Yi saw the mousetrap in the corner, which contained a fat mouse. It was probably not long after it was caught, and the mouse was still very energetic. This snake might have chased its prey here.

The mouse didn't have to come in through the window, but this snake was unlucky. It took a shortcut through the window, but got stuck because it was too fat.

Feng Yi noticed a cabinet at the door when he came in just now.

It was similar to the lockers in the supermarket, but it was in the corner and you wouldn't notice it at all if you didn't look at it specifically. Even if they noticed many people, they would not touch it, and would not study the instructions next to it, but would stay away from it. Because there was a snake logo on the cabinet.

Feng Yi walked to the cabinet with the snake in his hand and pressed a button.

A basket with a bag popped out from under the cabinet.

Throw the snake into the bag, tie it up, and then select a larger storage compartment on the screen.

Put the snake in the storage compartment and close the door.

The screen shows "Scanning", and then weigh it.

After a while, the settlement page popped up on the screen. Feng Yi scanned the code, and a bonus was transferred to the account, with points attached.

Xiaofengshan often has snakes escaping, so in order to encourage nearby residents to catch snakes, this kind of cabinet was set up. There are bonuses and points for catching snakes. Although the points are only added in single digits, they are still points! !

Feng Qian and Luo Kai stood by and watched like fools.

Still... can it be like this?
