Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 630 - 411 Can’t Wait_2

Upon learning that the fruit tree had been found, Feng Shou no longer cared about analyzing the soil composition; his eyes lit up as he rushed over to examine the fruit tree in the villager’s hands.

The villagers had dug up the tree and handled it rather roughly. After confirming that there were no mistakes with the tree, Feng Shou immediately took it over to meticulously take care of it.

"This is the tree sapling you wanted, as well as the fruits and soil. Check them yourself first to see if they’re right," the village chief said.

Previously, when Feng Shou had spoken with the village chief, the chief had not promised that they would definitely dig up a sapling. If they didn’t dig up the sapling, they would just bring back a branch.

Therefore, seeing the sapling made Feng Shou quite excited.

With the goods in hand, Feng Shou readily paid the reward.

During the transaction, the village chief explained that the reason they were able to bring back a sapling, instead of just a branch, was because they had helped find Sulayem.

He went on about how difficult it was to dig out the sapling and the great risk they took, babbling on about it.

When the village chief spoke with an accent, and at a fast pace, Feng Shou couldn’t catch the entire message. It was only with Ding’s help translating a few sentences at his side that he understood the gist.

As to how much truth there was in the village chief’s words, Feng Shou did not bother to calculate, considering that having the goods in hand was what mattered. He therefore showed extreme gratitude.

While Ding was helping with translations, the village chief gave him a look.

The village chief had always thought that among these few people, only Cai Bin, the translator, could understand their local language system. He hadn’t expected that there was another one hiding!

So, his caution was justified! He couldn’t let these outsiders know too much about their village’s affairs!

The best would be to hurry them away!

To get them as far away as possible!

Ding’s translation was intermittent, not as fluent as Cai Bing’s. However, the village chief didn’t relax his vigilance at all, he just didn’t show it on his face.

After talking about the sapling, the village chief glanced around the room and asked casually, "Where are the others? And the specialist...the veterinarian?"

The title "veterinarian" made Ding stutter for a moment.

"You mean Brother Yi?" Feng Shou replied, "A villager came by earlier to recommend some food. Since it wasn’t convenient to bring everything here, Brother Yi went to check out the products. There, that house."

Feng Shou stepped out to point the house out to the village chief.

Then he quickly came back in to continue caring for his fruit tree, saying, "I didn’t expect to find it so quickly. The plane is coming tomorrow, so I can take the tree back with me!"

Hearing this, the village chief’s eyes flickered slightly, "You’re leaving tomorrow?"

Still tending to the sapling, Feng Shou confirmed, "Yes, this trip was specifically for it. We’ve scheduled the time with the plane – regardless of whether we found the fruit tree, the plane was going to make a trip tomorrow. If we hadn’t found the tree, we’d have stayed a bit longer with the supplies the plane brought. Luckily, we found it and can leave early!"

With an amiable laugh, the village chief said, "What about him? Will Doctor Feng also be leaving with you? Didn’t he say he was going to the rainforest?"

Feng Shou replied, "He won’t be with us. We’re taking the plane back; he’s going into the rainforest for exploration."

The village chief’s gaze flicked to Ding, surprised, "Doctor Feng is going in alone?"

Feng Shou nodded, "Yeah, he’s a professional, after all. He does these forest explorations alone, like a lone ranger, because others can’t keep up with his pace."

The village chief fell silent for a moment as he mulled over the authenticity of the information.

It was indeed hard to believe.

In this group, it was evident that Feng Yi was the leader, with two assistants in tow.

With such a setup, would he really go into the dangerous rainforest alone for so-called exploration?

Exiting the house, the village chief headed toward a certain household, the very one Feng Shou had just pointed out.

From inside, Feng Shou saw what was happening outside the window and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The villagers are still very guarded against us," he said.

"Right," Ding chimed in, "I get the feeling from the village chief that he can’t wait to pack us up and send us off."

Meanwhile, Feng Yi was being warmly entertained by another villager’s family.

An hour earlier, a villager had come to them recommending his homemade jam.

Feng Yi had tried some and found it quite nice, so he came over to have a look.

The villager had only brought one jar to their place. If Feng Yi wanted to buy more, he could choose directly from his home or simply place an order, and the villager would bring the goods over.

Feng Yi chose to visit in person to see what the jam production place was like.

From the smell, the jam-making process seemed clean, but he still wanted to see for himself to be sure. He planned to buy more to give away as gifts.

Buying jam was actually a simple process and didn’t take much time, but since Feng Yi bought quite a lot, the family made good money and were extremely happy. They enthusiastically treated Feng Yi to some local delicacies made with jam.

There was also an old man in the household who had injured his legs and walked with the assistance of a cane, but he was still very spirited and talkative.

Feng Yi enjoyed interacting with these talkative locals!

One wanted to extract information, the other wanted to boast, a perfect match... no, a joy for both guest and host!

The village head arrived when they were in the midst of high spirits.

Since the village head had matters to discuss with the homeowner, Feng Yi bid farewell and left.

As they left the household, they noticed several skulls hanging at the entrance.

Cai Bing thought about the stories he just heard.

The old man lived through a time of conflict when he was young. Actually, it didn’t greatly affect their area, but the tribe followed its own survival rules, and there were endless struggles.

The victors would sever the heads of the defeated and hang them to display their bravery, increasing their influence within the tribe and also serving as a deterrent to outsiders.

Cai Bing shivered as he looked at those skulls, which seemed to have a patina, and stepped away, wanting to put some distance between himself and those objects.

He heard Feng Yi say, "Fake, modern crafts."

Cai Bing paused mid-step, his gaze shifting as he looked again at the skulls.

"I knew it, that old man was indeed bragging!"

Feng Yi smiled and said, "Not necessarily, there are real ones too, just not near the entrance here."

Cai Bing: "..."

That’s why he didn’t like dealing with villagers who still retained certain primal customs. Too savage! And they had some views that were simply incomprehensible!

Time to slip away!

After walking a bit further, they saw the so-called deity statues in the village.

Cai Bing clicked his tongue lightly.

He thought: In this day and age, only tribal folks would believe in these!

Back at their lodgings, finding out that the fruit trees had been located, Cai Bing breathed a sigh of relief.

With the fruit trees found, they could return tomorrow.

His task as a translator for the first phase was also completed.

Then he looked at Feng Yi, the financier.

Cai Bing whispered to Feng Shou, "Brother Yi seems a bit excited."

Feng Shou said, "Maybe it’s because we’re entering the rainforest tomorrow."

Cai Bing, surprised, exclaimed, "Eh? Going into the rainforest alone tomorrow, without a hint of worry or nervousness? If it were me, I might spend all night writing a will, since the heart of this rainforest isn’t friendly to humans at all!"

Another look at the financier.

The financier himself was humming a tune!

"Could this be the composure of an expert?"

Feng Yi sat by the window, gazing in the direction of the rainforest.

Nervous? Stressed?

Nonexistent things!

A deep breath.

The wind blowing in from outside carried the scents of all living things in the rainforest, filling Feng Yi with excitement, eager to form friendships with the rainforest inhabitants! freeωebnovēl.c૦m

He heard that the temperament of the animals and plants living here wasn’t very pleasant.

Great!

Little cuties inside, show me your fiercest faces!
