Chapter 55 -52 Little Junior Sister_1
The odd melody, tinged with a strong exotic flair, ding ding woo woo, made it seem as if one could envision a cobra, slowly rising from its basket and swaying side to side.
Feng Yi didn’t know what those snakes felt like, but as he listened, not only did he not feel any calmness, he even felt a bit irritable.
Do snakes really enjoy this kind of flute music?
Turning off the music, Feng Yi calmed the irritability in his heart and searched for information related to snake charmers.
He soon found out that snakes have very poor hearing, but they can sense vibrations around them and in the ground.
Those snake charmers on TV, they charm the snakes that they’ve trained and raised.
As for why the snakes dance…
They simply see the flute and follow its movements. If you put your hand in front of them and sway it left and right, they will also follow your hand with their gaze as they sway. The higher they rise, the more obvious their “dance” becomes, and they even move with a kind of graceful curve.
Of course, whether or not they bite is another matter.
Those with more volatile tempers might prepare to attack as soon as you put your hand in front of them.
Now, due to government regulations, snake charmers and their snakes can only be seen on some television shows or documentaries.
Feng Yi wasn’t particularly interested in these, and after clarifying that snakes don’t actually dance to music, he deleted some of the snake charmers’ tracks.
“Do I really have to listen to Buddhist chants?”
Feng Yi truly had no interest in Buddhist chants.
After giving it some thought, he decided to contact Teacher Wei, who taught him to play the piano, to inquire if there was any music suitable for self-cultivation.
Initially, Feng Yi had taken lessons from Teacher Wei to play his role well in a web drama. Although Teacher Wei wasn’t top-notch in professional skill, he was very patient with students, and Feng Yi kept in touch with him.
It wasn’t a formal apprenticeship, but he would still address him as Teacher Wei or “Master” in regular greetings.
Feng Yi sent a message asking Teacher Wei about music for self-cultivation, and about ten minutes later, Teacher Wei called him with a voice message.
“Feng Yi, how have you been recently? What’s prompted you to start thinking about self-cultivation?”
Teacher Wei, having kept in contact, knew that Feng Yi had already resolved his studio’s issues, but to suddenly take up self-cultivation at an age full of drive, Teacher Wei worried that Feng Yi had suffered some kind of upset.
“Not really; I just feel a bit restless and prone to impulsiveness lately, so I want to calm my mind for a while,” said Feng Yi.
Feng Yi could tell that Teacher Wei was busy on the other end and had probably squeezed in time for a voice message, so he didn’t want to dawdle.
“Do you have any musical pieces you can recommend?” asked Feng Yi.
Teacher Wei thought for a moment and said, “How about this: our team recently recorded some new pieces, but they’re not yet signed with any online platforms, so you can’t hear them on the internet. I’ll select a few albums to be sent to you, and you can choose what you want to listen to.”
“Thank you, Teacher Wei! You can just mail them to me; local delivery is quite fast,” Feng Yi said.
“No problem, I’ll pick out some other things and bring them along too. Let me see who’s available…”
Half a minute later, Teacher Wei said, “How about tomorrow morning? I’ll have Wanwan deliver them to you. Just treat her to lunch. That girl misses you a lot! As soon as I mentioned it, she took on the task.”
Feng Yi: “…Wouldn’t it be troublesome for Sister Ye? The place I’m staying is quite remote.”
The “Wanwan” and “Sister Ye” they mentioned was actually Ye Wan, who was truly apprenticed to the master.
Sister Ye was a bit… hard to describe.
Feng Yi suspected that upon seeing her, his already unsettled emotions might become even more irritable.
Teacher Wei asked for Feng Yi’s address and laughed, “Your place isn’t really remote; a few of these young people recently went on a trip to Yue Mountain. Besides, Wanwan really misses you.”
Feng Yi felt it wasn’t good to keep troubling Teacher Wei, so he said, “Alright, then I’ll go meet her tomorrow.”
“No need, just leave a detailed address, and she’ll find her way. She’s quite capable now.”
After sending his detailed address, Feng Yi ended the call with Teacher Wei. The teacher had been busy with an upcoming performance and didn’t have much time to chat.
The news about the European catfish appearing in the community had thoroughly spread, and some of the local self-media marketing accounts, complete with pictures and stories, each one more vivid than the last, had processed the facts into something thrilling and gripping.
Only after reading them did Feng Yi realize how he had captured the fish.
Thanks to the arrangements made by the Joint Security Bureau, a lecture about releasing animals was held in the community that afternoon, warning everyone not to release animals indiscriminately. They couldn’t release the common household fish either, and the person who had released the European catfish years ago was taken as a bad example and severely criticized.
Also, some general knowledge about the protection of wildlife was shared, reminding that wildlife and animal eggs are protected. One should not harm them unless absolutely necessary.
Besides, Xue Lin, possibly having heard the news online, came by for a visit.
At dusk, against the afterglow of the setting sun and facing the river, he held a memorial for his dog, which was likely swallowed by the big fish, and then left before it was completely dark.
Xue Lin did not seek out Feng Yi; it was Feng Yi who sensed Xue Lin’s presence by smell.
As for the 150,000 yuan reward that Feng Yi was to receive, it was deposited into his account around 8 p.m.
After receiving the reward, Feng Yi sent out a large red packet in the owners’ group chat. Everyone knew about it, so there was no need to hide it.
The next day.

In the morning, the homeowners out for a walk were still discussing the matter of the European catfish. An old lady’s eyes lit up upon seeing something.
Someone came in through the main gate of the community, looking around eighteen or nineteen years old, resembling a college freshman. She had her hair tied back in a high ponytail, was dressed casually, and her wheat-colored skin looked healthy and energetic.
Her looks weren’t stunning, but the old ladies found her pleasant to the eye.
The only thing was that the backpack she carried was too large; whatever she packed inside ballooned the decent travel bag into a turtle shell shape.
The old ladies had a good understanding of the residents in the community and were quite adept at recognizing people. They took the initiative to ask who she was looking for, whether she needed help, and even warmly gave directions.
…
Feng Yi stood at the front yard entrance looking down the pathway.
When he finally saw that familiar figure, Feng Yi also breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn’t gotten lost, which was a huge relief!
Seeing the large backpack on Ye Wan’s back, Feng Yi quickly walked over and took it from her.
Ye Wan was exceptionally excited to see Feng Yi.
“Brother! Master sent me to give you a message!”
“What did Master say?” asked Feng Yi.
“Master said, ‘a turtle lives for a thousand years, and a tortoise for ten thousand more; with effort, one day you can become a spirit!'”
Feng Yi: “…”
Feng Yi quietly looked at her.
Sister Ye looked back encouragingly, seemingly in complete agreement with Teacher Wei’s words.
Feng Yi took out his phone and sent the message that Ye Wan had just relayed to Teacher Wei.
Teacher Wei promptly replied with a voice message, his voice laced with laughter and a touch of helplessness.
“I told her, ‘A thousand days to master the pipa, a hundred for the zither; put in the effort, and one day you’ll master it! Playing instruments can temper one’s character too. If you don’t like listening to music, learning the zither isn’t bad either.’
Feng Yi had an “I knew it” expression on his face.
He had always known that Sister Ye was a bit simple.
He left another message for Teacher Wei, thanking the old man for the big package of calming and peaceful items he provided.
Even without opening the zipper, he could already smell the items inside. Aside from the albums and books Teacher Wei mentioned, there were also some incense and related tools.
As for Ye Wan, after hearing Teacher Wei’s message played aloud by Feng Yi, she nodded in sudden realization, knowing that she had once again delivered the wrong message, apologized, and then admired the surrounding scenery, looking at the trees on both sides of the community walkway rustling.
Feng Yi had no intention of blaming her for delivering the wrong message. Students who had studied with Teacher Wei all knew that Sister Ye’s wisdom was not the point here.
