After dinner, Yao Lin got into the car. He knew that the next few days would be tough, so he was prepared to seize the last opportunity to have a good rest. However, he did not feel sleepy as he lay on his seat. In his mind, all sorts of fragmented information about the city flashed through his mind.
Ashley opened the door on the other side and got in, bringing along a large bottle of sealed drinking water and a roll of tobacco she had rolled for Yao.
"Thank you. Your skills are pretty good. You can do it much better than me."
Yao Ling picked one up and stuck it in her mouth. She leisurely smoked a few mouthfuls with a face full of satisfaction.
Ashley didn't say anything. He just leaned on his side and quietly watched him smoke. Yao Yun felt a little awkward, so she asked, "Why don't you go to sleep? Where's the girl? Is she asleep? "
Ashley gently blew away a fly that was lying on Yao Ling's head and said, "No, I don't know what to draw with that Chen Xiaohua. In fact, they are considered to be from Tibet. "Why aren't you asleep yet? You're calling me sleepy when you're eating, but I can see that you're staring at the car."
"I don't know either. I have a strange feeling in my heart." Yao Yun seemed to be a little distracted.
Ashley asked him, "What? Is there something on your mind? "
He said to Ashley, "I can't say for sure, but it feels really strange. It's hard to say if it's excitement or nervousness, or maybe it's fear. I can't tell you what it was like. It's a rare occurrence in the past. "
Ashley thought he was worried about finding Rangar, and she suddenly felt that she deserved to die. For her father's sake, she could only involve innocent people like Yao Yun and the rest in these extremely dangerous things, but she had no other choice.
Seeing that she was in a very low mood, Yao Ling consoled her, "Actually, it's nothing much. Perhaps this matter had left a deep impression on me, scaring me to death."
Ashley asked him curiously, "What is it that can scare you? You are a fearless man in my heart. "
"At that time, I had never seen much of the world, and it was my first time experiencing such a strange environment, so to be honest, it really scared me."
Upon hearing his words, Ashley became even more curious. She asked him what had frightened him so much, and he told her about something he had once experienced.
That was nearly ten years ago, Yao was breaking up with her first love, and she was in a bad mood, so she wanted to travel alone. When he heard that Yao Ling was going to travel to Southeast Asia, he recommended that he go to an island in the Philippines called Bird's Lodge. There was a cousin of his from a distant house who was in charge of receiving and hosting the guests. Thus, after staying in Manila for a few days, Yao Ling arrived at an unknown island in the south.
The Bird's Inn was not a large island, and as it was not a popular area for tourism, the tourists did not know about it. But every year there is a steady stream of visitors to the island, not to enjoy the beauty or holiday tourists, but as mysterious religious people, bird-lovers and adventurers.
The reason why this island was called Bird Mansion Island was that every year, there would be migratory birds that would stop on the way here. It was just like a bird's inn. Those bird lovers who came to the island at this time of the year to observe and take photographs.
As for those adventurers and religious people, although they were here for the birds, their goal was not to meet the birds, but to meet the mythical birds on this island.
The person who greeted him after he had landed on the island was none other than Wuji's cousin, Wei Chanrui. He was also the owner of the only hotel on the island.
The residents of the island, he proudly told Yao, were all simple and honest, so they rejected the government and merchants' plans to develop the island as a tourist area. However, because the Wei family had a very good relationship with the elders of the island, he was able to open the only hotel here. Furthermore, this hotel only had one set of rooms, and could only receive a single group of guests every day.
Guests at the hotel naturally wanted to come to Bird's Landing to watch the birds. Every year, they would make reservations a few months in advance, and then move in according to the time the hotel had arranged. The hotel was built at the top of the highest mountain on the island, and it was also the best place to view the birds.
The entire appearance and interior decorations of the hotel were all in the local style, seemingly crude and crude grass huts. However, in reality, they were all designed and built by famous people, and the facilities were all available. After all, most of the guests here were rich and powerful, so there wasn't much difference between staying here and staying in an ordinary city.
The only thing that didn't suit Yao Ling was that this hotel didn't have any staff members other than customers. According to the local customs, there would be people who would bring the food and drinks for the day in the morning and evening. If the guests had any special needs, the guests would bring the food and drinks together the next day.
The other thing was that this hotel's bathroom was open air, and there was only a shelter above the bathtub. Originally, this kind of design was not strange, but this was, after all, the top of the mountain, and from time to time, there would be strong sea winds blowing past. When bathing, one would feel that there were people secretly peeking around, but luckily Yao Yun a man wasn't afraid of this, so he didn't really care about taking a bath outside. However, he did not expect an accident to happen on his very first night.
At that time, Yao Yun was lying in the bathroom soaking in the bathtub, when a large black object suddenly flew in diagonally and landed head first on his body. The unique stench and ice-cold touch immediately made him realize that it was a huge snake.
Yao Ling was not afraid of snakes, but this sudden attack coupled with the environment he was in, made him unavoidably at a loss as to what to do. He tried to get out of the tub, but he was too strong and the walls were slippery, which prevented him from leaving the uninvited guest at the first possible moment.
Snakes have different personalities depending on their species. Some are relatively docile, rarely attacking other creatures besides predators and self-defense, but some are notoriously bad-tempered. Back then, Yao Ling was extremely unlucky. It was clear that this snake's attack power was very strong. Not only did it bite his arm, it even quickly wrapped around his left arm and body.
Yao Ling fell into the bathtub, trying his best to remain calm. Luckily, this wasn't a poisonous snake, it seemed to be an Indian python with a relatively small body.
He still had a way to deal with a python of this size with his bare hands. He reached out and grabbed the tail of the python, then began to untie it according to the direction in which the python was coiling around it. However, because he was tightly entangled by the python, he laid down in the bathtub, and the method of unlocking the snake did not go smoothly. It seemed that he could not escape in a short period of time, and if he wasted too much time, he would fall into a very dangerous situation.
Instead, he prepared to use his other hand to deal with the python's ultimate life-saving technique. Although this method was very easy to use, in reality, Yao Yun didn't want to do this because it was too disgusting.
This place was very easy to identify, it was covered with a layer of scales that were different from those on other parts of the body. Furthermore, on the outside, there was a python's lower limb that had not completely degenerated yet. With great difficulty, he used his fingers to gouge open the layer of scales, exposing the anus of the python. With great difficulty, he used his fingers to gouge out the layer of scales, exposing the anus of the python, which was also its reproductive system.
The python's anus also took into account its reproductive cavity, which was its weak point. After being attacked, its entire body would feel sore and unable to exert any more strength. Naturally, the body wrapped around Yao Lao's arm would loosen. But at the same time, black and yellow feces also shot out from its anus. The excrement of these pythons was extremely fishy and corrosive.
Resisting the stench and nausea with great difficulty, Yao Ling undid the snake's body from his arms and body and pinched the head of the snake. Carefully picking the flesh from its barbed teeth, he threw the Indian python out of the bathroom wall and hung it on the branch of a large tree in the distance.
He had no time to finish off the python. He first used water to wash his body that was stuck with snake droppings, then used the medicine he had prepared in his luggage to treat the wound. During this period of time, he seemed to have heard a burst of noise coming from outside the wall, as if there was a bird chirping outside. Yao Ling thought that perhaps the python had scared the nearby tree birds, so she didn't pay attention.
When he was done with his wound and thought that the snake that had not died was a danger, he went around the wall and tried to throw the python a little further away. However, when he arrived under the tree, he found that the python was already gone. The branches still had traces of snake manure and a fishy smell.
This was strange. After the python's anus was attacked, it wouldn't be able to return to normal for a long time. Logically speaking, it should be honestly hanging here right now, so how could it have run away on its own? But if it hadn't crawled away on its own, who could have moved such a big Indian python? It was impossible for a second person to be present at this time of day in the hotel, and apart from a few birds, there were no other wild beasts in the vicinity.
When she thought back to the scene just now, she was even more confused. After all, that snake seemed to have descended from the sky, and there was no tree on top of her head, unless the snake could fly. She had heard that some snakes could jump out of the branches and move her body away from the tree, but she had never heard of such a massive snake doing such a thing.
He was also puzzled. He said that on this island, there were several types of poisonous snakes that did not have a big body, and there were also sea serpents in the sea nearby. However, he had never seen a python before, so how did it fall into Yao's bathtub?
