"Sorry I can't take you out of the rainforest, we have a goal to go upstream. What's your name? Steven pulled up the man in the pouring rain, the man's hair was half white, older than everyone present.

"Paul. The people in the next village will help me repair the boat, sorry for the trouble. ”

"No need to apologize, everyone has bad luck."

Steven patted Paul on the shoulder and led him into the cabin. Mattei and Wesquer stared at Paul with solemn faces, always feeling that this person was not simple, and there was an inexplicable ferocity hidden under the smile.

It rained all night, and the next day was a rare good day, with a cloudless breeze and a comfortable tight. The boat stopped on the bank of the river to rest. The next morning, Paul went out fishing to change the tastes of a few people. Mattei and others other than Wesquer had mingled with him, watching with novelty as he fished in the most primitive way.

Paul was half-seated beside the boat, standing on a tree in the water, holding a sharpened straight stick, his eyes fixed on the water like a falcon. After discovering the underwater fish, his eyes suddenly became fierce, and he gritted his teeth and stabbed hard.

"Huh!"

The wooden stick cut through the air and made a sound, and it plunged steadily into the water, and when the tip of the stick was lifted again, a fat fish of more than 20 centimeters was pierced.

"Primitive way of fishing."

"Wow, what a big fish."

"I'm going to shoot it next time."

Several people exclaimed, this fish is not big but it is really fat. The black and white fish body looks inexplicably like a snake's color. The five-centimeter-wide body of the fish is bent down by the wooden stick, as if it will be crushed by the weight of the big fish at any time.

Paul came aboard with the catch, removed the skin and moistened the board with fish oil. He smashes the back of his knife with a stick to split the fish, while the others busied themselves preparing breakfast.

Tyri set her glass and watched as Paul neatly handled the big fish. "Do you work at a sushi restaurant?"

"Self-taught."

"Where are you from?"

"Barak, I was studying to be a pastor. Later, if I wanted to see the real world, I stayed in the rainforest. I fit here. Paul kept moving, answering Steven's question.

Wesquire held a glass of wine and spoke in a mean tone. "What does a failed priest do in the jungle?"

"Failure? Who said I failed? I don't want to do it. ”

Wesquer smiled as if he were unrelenting. "I'm sure you don't."

"What do you do for a living now?" Mattei held a cigarette and leaned on the side of the boat with his bare upper body, with an uninhibited chic.

"Snakes."

"Snakes?"

"I catch snakes, for zoos or collectors who are willing to pay for it. Catch everything. Paul put down his machete and took the white wine from Tyri.

"Poaching?"

"Poaching is illegal, what are you hunting here?"

"We don't hunt anything, we're here to shoot documentaries. About the Shu'a. ”

"The mystery of legends?" Paul didn't have to guess to think of their goal.

"Yes, you've heard of it?"

"I've seen it."

Paul's understatement caused a stir in the crowd, staring at him in disbelief, expecting his affirmative answer.

"Really? Can you tell us exactly where it is? Tyri was a little excited, and there was a seductive charm in her eyes.

"You saved my life, of course I do. I can take you there. Paul didn't pay attention to Tyri's expression, put down his glass and continued to process the big fish. To be honest, Tyri isn't pretty, with curly hair tied back and a complexion that looks like a half-blood.

Wess bent his hands on the table, adding credibility to his words. "Please, you're going to listen to the nonsense of the drunkard who drank five glasses of wine?"

"Five glasses of wine? It was just breakfast. ”

The two looked at each other, and the air smelled of gunpowder.

"Is salad right with sashimi? Mr. Paul? ”

The producer girl carried a large basin of prepared salad on the table, and her figure was just in the way of the two of them.

"The salad couldn't be better, little ghost."

After breakfast, the boat departed, and the day was uneventful. After the rain, the sky is extremely fresh, and the fresh breeze blowing on the river from time to time makes the climate not so sultry. In the seemingly safe forest, the python preys on many wild beasts, whether it is jackals, tigers and leopards, there is no python as an enemy.

In the evening, the brisk music came from the cabin, and the unfinished people continued to work on their work. Someone who has nothing to do like a producer girl swaying with her eyes closed and dancing to the music. Miao Man's dancing posture is illuminated by the lights on the wall, and multiple light sources form multiple reflections like a dream.

Steven closed the computer after processing the information, and looked up to see the depth of the night, dotted with a little flying fireflies.

"Look!"

Terri, beside him, looked up and narrowed her eyes. "That's ...... Firefly? ”

The two of them put down their work and walked to the side of the boat, leaning against the railing.

"It's beautiful, isn't it? Insecta, winged subclass, order Coleoptera. Gather on a tree and show love to the opposite sex with bright light. Steven looked at Tyri and smiled.

Tyri smiled, but looked sideways at the rainforest in the distance. "Is the male shiny, or the female's shiny?"

"It's all going to glow. The mother's glow is short, lasting eight seconds at a time. The male responded enthusiastically with a continuous glow. ”

"I like ...... No need to talk nonsense, no misunderstandings. The nature of nature. "I don't know if Tyri was talking about fireflies, or if she was talking about herself. She was like a light that didn't last, attracting the attention of all the men present. She glows when she tries to move away from her, and she goes out if she gets too close.

"I missed you." Steven lifted his hand to pick up the shredded hair from her ear, and his hand did drop halfway through. Unexpectedly, Tyri stepped forward and kissed him again. How so? That's pretty much what happened.

The sailing on the second day was the same as the first day, and there were no special views to photograph. It's rare for everyone to have nothing to do at leisure. Wesstr pulled up the net and practiced his golf swing, when another golf ball shot out of the net and into the depths of the dense rainforest.

"It's noisy!" He still complains about others for his own cooking, and complains that the earth is unattractive without. Furiously walked up to Horton, who was fixing his nails, and turned off the music on the tape machine in front of him.

"Hey, hey, don't touch my stereo!"

Horton turned on the stereo and the music played again, and Wes, who had not yet extinguished the fire, turned around and wanted to turn off the music again. Horton raised his hand and slapped Wesquire's cheap hand, and the snap was very powerful.

"Beware that I hired someone to kill you! Find an native, fifty dollars is enough! ”

Horton is not a man who is afraid of things, his chubby body sits upright, and he has an indescribable sense of oppression. The sharp knife between the shaved fingers pointed at each other brightly. "I'll be able to kill you for free right now!"

"Just you?" Horton laughed at him and sneered incessantly.

Horton didn't say much, and the sharp knife slashed his neck with a gesture. Wesqu didn't take the immediate loss, and left a quick retreat. "Who are you with?"

"What the hell are you?"

The people on the side were watching the play, and the two were just verbally arguing, and they couldn't fight at all.

Terri walked to the bow of the boat, very close to Paul. "Is it close?"

Paul stepped forward to distance himself and pointed to the front.

"It's around here."

"Great." Tyri tilted her head and turned away boredly.

The deeper you go into the rainforest, the more twisted the trees on both sides become. More vines tangle the trees, and dead branches and broken trees can be seen everywhere. There are more aquatic plants on the water.

"The totem of the serpent."

Steven looked ahead with a telescope, and in the center of the river's fork, a totem pole of a python wrapped around the human body stood.

"This totem belongs to the Sishu'a. They worship the serpent as their guardian deity, and it is said that there is a mysterious lake, passing through a waterfall guarded by pythons, through which you can reach the Sishua people. You will see a wall, the wall is very high......"

Steven interrupted Paul's speech, he was also professional in this area, and he was very upset that the other party was in the limelight.

"Five days further on, you will reach the end, an incomparably huge python head."

"You've heard of it?"

"Of course, beautiful legends. But that's the legend of the Shu'a. ”

"It's also a legend of the Sishua tribe." Paul looked at his back and added.

"As far as I know, it's not ......" Steven didn't give the other party any face, raised his binoculars, and continued to observe the stout totem pillar.

"The village is high tide, it's nearby, and you can see it when you enter the tributary. I'm sure, I catch snakes for a living. ”

"I'm sure you're good at catching snakes, but I'm good at finding tribes. The swelling of the river indicates that the area is often flooded, forcing indigenous tribes to move to higher ground. Steven lowered his binoculars and unfolded the marked map. It is full of pride in terms of professionalism.

"Where are you going?" Mattei stuck his head out of the window and asked.

"Go this way." Steven proudly pointed slowly in the chosen direction, without reference to Paul, who had lived in the rainforest for many years and could be regarded as a semi-local.

"Wesqu, let's take a picture with the totem pole. Are you recording, are you ready? …… Turn on the camera and shoot. ”

As the director of the documentary, Tyri directed the crowd to start filming. This giant totem pole is a pretty good subject. Wesquit stood in front of the camera, improvised the script.

"We were lucky enough to see the totem pole statue of the Shu'a people, and it was right behind us, although it was still a bit controversial......"

"No, no, no, I'm pretty sure. If you don't believe it, let me get off the boat in the next village. Paul interjected in front of the camera and interrupted the crowd's shooting. Steven didn't give the other party any face, and we were willing to him off.

"Stop!" Tyri stopped filming and looked back at Steven, like a winning. "What's going on?"

Steven pouted slightly and spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know. Don't know what to think about?

Filming continuesThe film is filmed, and the ship follows the path Steven has instructed. The tributaries were foggy and the river was muddy, and the weather was so dark that the boats had to move forward with their lights on.
