Every day is one step closer to reality

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, and 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 their old house this year. Everyone went there, including several people from their aunt's family, as well as a few people who were often absent from work or studies in previous years.

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 vigilant." Feng Chi suggested, "If you want to have a good New Year, don't show up in public."

Feng Yi didn't want to appear in public either. 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!

He knows how to have fun!

Feng Yi smiled and replied 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 Ya quickly replied to Feng Yi and continued counting cards. With the speed with which he picks 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, eats New Year's dinner, plays mahjong and has 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.

Feng Yi yawned and thought of something. He didn't bother rubbing his face and picked up his phone.

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

They were still given a holiday today, and Feng Yi planned to go to Xiaofeng Mountain alone.

I originally wanted to ask the butler to come with me, but the butler refused.

I sent red envelopes to employees and responded to every New Year greeting message on the chat app.

Feng Yi sent a New Year's greetings letter to Uncle Mute by the way.

After a while, Uncle Dumb came back with a red envelope.

The amount is quite large.

Did you win money playing mahjong?

After completing the online New Year greetings, Feng Yi got up with a flick of his tail.

When I talked to Feng Chi yesterday, the boy said that he had never heard anyone mention going to Xiaofeng Mountain to worship ancestors.

The ancestral home in Xiaofengshan does not have a high presence in the Feng family, because the old man does not pay attention to it. He arranges ancestor worship and rarely allows other people to participate. The same is true for the Qingming ancestor worship. Gradually, everyone no longer cares.

They only need to know that there are no ancestors to admire. When they interpret and analyze the old man's psychology, they can even decipher some important information: the old man has a grudge against his great-grandfather's generation.

The Feng family now has only one "ancestor", Mr. Feng. The old man is living a good life and doesn't like hearing the word "sacrifice" mentioned all the time.

The fathers and grandchildren of the Feng family can only pay tribute to the old man's three deceased wives.

There were rumors in the past that the old man wanted to pick a place to build an ancestral hall, but there has been no real progress. Gradually, no one mentioned "ancestral temples". After all, not everyone in every place has the culture of ancestral halls, and there is no such thing. It must have continued.

Times are changing, and so are etiquette.

Few people of Feng Yi's generation knew that there was an ancestral temple built in the ancestral home in Xiaofengshan.

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

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

The car stopped at the designated location and two young men got out of the car.

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

The other one is Aunt Fengyi’s eldest son, Luo Kai.

The two of them did not have the same grandmother as Feng Yi, and they were not very close in the past, but recently they have been talking about Feng Yi frequently. One is the popularity caused by Feng Yi on the Internet, and the other is the old man's strange attitude towards Feng Yi.

Feng Qian got out of the car and looked at the sun above his head, then walked to the shade of the service area with a frown.

They both had New Year's Eve dinner at their old house yesterday. I had never paid attention to the ancestral temple before, but Luo Kai found some information. It was not that the old man didn't care about the ancestral temple, but he had plans to build another one. After discussion, the two of them decided to visit Xiaofengshan's ancestral home this morning to see if they could find out any useful information.

There was a factory at the foot of Xiaofeng Mountain that had something to do with a company owned by Uncle Feng's family. In order to avoid detection, they took a detour and came a little later than expected. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the sun was already high.

Feng Qian opened the map on his mobile phone, looked at the location, pointed to a point on the map, and asked Luo Kai, "Are you sure the old man wants to build an ancestral hall there? That place is diagonal to Xiaofeng Mountain and is 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, there are no snakes." Feng Qian looked around.

"They said they just changed the management model and transferred another batch, so I didn't see any snakes."

"Good exchange! Creatures like snakes shouldn't exist!" Feng Qian was afraid of snakes. When he first learned that his ancestral temple was in the legendary Snake Mountain, he refused, but driven by profit, he still came with Luo Kai.

I was nervous all the way here, but when I got here I only saw warning signs with snake symbols, not a single snake, and the fear in my heart faded a little.

"There's not a soul in this place! It's scary, no wonder people don't like coming here!"

They came all the way, there were cars and people, but they didn't go this way. I searched on the map and found a cemetery nearby.

"Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year are visiting graves in this wilderness, right?"

Feng Qian complained and yawned. He is a senior this year and rarely rests at home during the holidays. He wants to sleep until noon every day.

Luo Kai is similar to him, but Luo Kai is about to graduate from graduate school this year. He has to prepare a thesis, has to be taken care of by his parents, and has to attend several important banquets in the first month, so he is very busy. I can only sleep in for a few days around New Year's Eve.

He rubbed his eyes and blew some air outside the car to adjust his mental state.

"I'm going in to use the toilet."

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

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

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

He has never seen the Feng Family Ancestral Temple!

As a grandson who is doing reasonably well, Luo Kai also has a sense of presence among the old man.

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

The old man has too many things in his hands, and even a little bit of them will leak out between his fingers, which can make most people eat to their full capacity.

But the internal competition is also quite fierce...

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a scream from inside the service station:

“There’s 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 inside when he saw Feng Qian running out from inside with a pale face.

"There... there's a snake in there! So big!!"

Feng Qian gestured with trembling hands.

Luo Kai took a look, and according to Feng Qian's description, the snakes inside were as thick as wrists! However, Feng Qian was too frightened now, and it was understandable to exaggerate.

"Let's hide in the car!" Seeing that he was okay, Luo Kai said he was going to hide in the car. He is also afraid of snakes.

"There's no rush." ​​Feng Qian's face hadn't recovered yet, and he was panting heavily, but his mood gradually calmed down, "The snake was stuck by the window and couldn't move."

"...Oh." Luo Kai closed the opened car door again. I was a little curious when I heard that the snake was stuck.

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

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

"Big! Can't get stuck in the window? It's not winter now! Aren't snakes supposed to hibernate?"

"How can they sleep in winter when it's 20 degrees Celsius?"

The temperature was a bit low in the morning, but now it's almost noon and the temperature has risen, already over 20 degrees.

"What should we do now? Call the police?" Feng Qian finished speaking and shook his head, "The noise of calling the police is too big, so we'd better ignore it and do business first."

Luo Kai thought so too.

If they leave first, the next person who comes to the service station will definitely call the police.

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

"A car is coming!" Feng Qian looked towards the entrance of the service station.

Due to the light, they couldn't see clearly the people in the car, and they had no impression of the license plate.

"Alert the car owner that there is a snake inside and ask him to call the police," Luo Kai said.

"Um."

Feng Qian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, unbuckled his seat belt and was about to open the door when Luo Kai pulled him back.

"What?" Feng Qian was confused.

"It's Feng Yi!"

Feng Qian's expression suddenly changed and he looked to the side, just in time to see Feng Yi getting out of the car looking towards them.

The atmosphere is a bit strange.

They had not contacted Feng Yi since he left the Feng family when he went to college. The information after that was either checked by others or found online. This is the first time we have met in several years.

Feng Yi raised his eyebrows, surprised to see these two here. But he didn't want to talk about it too much. He didn't have a close relationship with these two people before, and he didn't have much hatred. After not seeing each other for a few years, he was only estranged. He said calmly: "Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year." Feng Qian replied stiffly.

Seeing Feng Yi going to the service station, Feng Qian said: "There is a big snake stuck in the bathroom window inside!"

Feng Yi didn't stop and made a gesture to express that he understood.

Feng Qian laughed at himself and whispered: "That's right, Brother Snake, as for the Python King, he can catch a snake seven meters long, and he is still afraid of such a small snake!"

After hesitating for a moment, Feng Qian got out of 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 his urgent needs and simply washed his hands after going to the toilet. While wiping the water on his hands, he looked at the snake stuck there.

King Jin Snake should have escaped from prison in the reserve. He is very fat. He was spitting out letters.

There are two types of cauliflower snakes that people often talk about, one is the black-browed snake and the other is the king snake. It is non-toxic. Residents near Xiaofengshan are not very afraid of it. Some old people still regard it as a treasure.

Unlike the slender body of the Black-browed Elephant Snake, the King Elephant Snake is thicker and has a snake-eating habit. After all, it is a snake of the "king" generation.

This wealthy figure also has a place in the list of high-quality snake eaters.

The window on the side is broken, there is only a gap, and it cannot be closed tightly or opened. If someone else came over, they would probably have to use hydraulic pliers to get the snake out of the gap.

Feng Yi pinched the snake's head with one hand and opened the window with the other hand. Without using too much force, he just widened the gap a little and pulled out the snake.

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

Feng Yi ignored them and continued walking out.

The two looked at each other and followed in silence.

Feng Yi saw the mousetrap in the corner. There was a fat mouse in it. It was probably not long after he caught it. The mouse was still very energetic. The snake may have been chasing prey here.

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

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

It's similar to the lockers in the supermarket, but it's in the corner and you can't even notice it unless you look carefully. Even if many people notice it, they won't touch it, and they won't study the instructions next to it, but stay far away. Because the cabinet has a snake symbol on it.

Feng Yi grabbed the snake and walked to the cabinet 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 select a larger storage compartment on the screen.

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

"Scanning" appears on the screen, then weighs.

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.

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

Feng Qian and Luo Kai stood aside and watched as if they were dumbfounded.

Still...how can it still be like this?
