Three hundred and forty-five: Snake Charming

The Indus River Basin is located in the northeastern region of India. The Gir National Forest Park that Liu Wei is going to is in the southernmost part of the Indus River Basin, with a desert area in between.

Liu Wei went south along the tributary of the Indus River for two days and passed a market town. The market town still gave people the impression of being dirty and messy, but judging from the faces of the residents in the town, there was no sign of worry.

It seems that they are used to living in such an environment, and they have smiles on their faces, giving people a feeling that their lives are not bad.

In the center of the market town, Liu Wei stopped.

A group of people gathered at the edge of a pavilion on the right.

From a distance, the pavilion looks similar to the pavilions in ancient domestic garden architecture.

Liu Wei sighed in his heart, although the climate here is arid and slightly warm, it is winter after all. Looking at the clothes of the Indian people, how unafraid of the cold are they?

Liu Wei walked over curiously.

Before they even got closer, they heard the long sound of the flute and the applause of the onlookers.

At this time, the audience in the live broadcast room was also curious, what kind of tricks were performed in the pavilion to attract praise?

They all urged Liu Wei to take a few steps faster.

Liu Wei took a closer look.

Smile slightly.

Sure enough, as he guessed, what was being performed in the pavilion was the common "snake charm" in India.

Snake charming is a famous street performance in India.

Liu Wei flipped the camera to shoot.

Sitting on the seats next to the pavilion were two Indians wearing hats, one old and one young, with sallow skin.

Between the two of them, that is, in the middle of the pavilion, there was a rattan basket. The rattan basket was quite beautifully woven. From the gap in the rattan basket, you could see a snake coiled inside.

The mobile phone lens can vaguely see the snake's head through the gap in the rattan basket.

"Playing with snakes?"

"Indians are all masters at playing snakes! Look!"

“I’ve watched videos online before, but this time I’m really lucky!”

Liu Wei looked at the barrage and the audience had expectations, so he decided to stay and watch.

"Squeeze, squeeze!" Liu Wei squeezed to the front.

The onlookers all knew that the people in the pavilion would ask for money after the performance. Most of them came to watch the show and were unwilling to pay. Liu Wei's outfit and temperament left an image of a rich man to the onlookers. , naturally took the initiative to give up a small part of the land to Liu Wei. As long as he was willing to pay, he could be regarded as helping the local street art performers.

More and more people came around.

The old man sitting on the pavilion shook his thick beard, smiled, slowly put the wooden flute in his hand to his mouth and started playing.

The sound of the flute is not melodious, but it is very long and slender. Although it does not have the artistic conception of mountains and flowing water, it gives people a sense of floating.

At this time, the snake in the rattan basket woke up.

It slowly twisted and exposed its head.

Liu Wei was a little excited when he saw the snake, "Brothers, this is an Indian cobra. I personally think the pattern of the Indian cobra is the most beautiful among snakes. If you look at the marks on its back and stare carefully, you will be surprised. People create a visual illusion!”

The body of the Indian cobra sways left and right with the sound of the flute, giving it a graceful and graceful dancing posture.

It slowly crawled out of the rattan basket.

“Beautiful and beautiful!”

"I also think the pattern of the Indian cobra is beautiful!"

"This is my first time watching a live broadcast, and it feels very mysterious!"

"Awei, I want to ask if the snake can understand the sound of the flute?"

"Indian Cobra: What? Are you laughing at me for not knowing music?"

Liu Wei looked at the questions on the barrage and said: "The Indian cobra has no external ears, nor does it have tympanic membranes, ear holes and Eustachian tubes. Its inner ear is not affected by music, so what makes it twist its body is not the flute played by the old man. Voice!"

"what is that?"

"Yes! I feel that it twists very rhythmically, as if it is moving to the rhythm!"

"It turns out that the Indian Cobra is deaf!"

The audience was confused.

Liu Wei continued: "The Indian cobra has very good eyesight, and many snake charmers actually make use of its well-developed vision.

The snake charmer uses the gestures of his hands to signal the snakes, and the snakes actually make various twisting movements based on the left and right swings of the flute and the vibrations of the snake charmer's stamping feet.

These skills of snake charmers are difficult to see by the audience present, because they are powerful masters of hiding their eyes. Just like magic, it is also a visual method. "

"Damn it, that's what it is!"

"They are all street liars after all!"

"It can't be said that if you play with a snake like this, you still have two brushes!"

"Ah Wei, expose them!"

Liu Wei faced the live broadcast room with a bitter smile and said, "Are you asking me to die?

It was originally a voluntary transaction between you and me. Some perform and others watch, just like you watching my live broadcast. If you have money, give gifts, if you don’t have money, it will be free. I don’t want to risk my life with these gangsters.

Brothers, look good and watch your words!"

Although fans like to express their opinions, they also know that they have limits. After Liu Wei reminded him, he didn't mention the revelation again.

The onlookers burst into applause.

The Indian cobra crawled out of the rattan basket and was quite big. It stood upright and stared at the surrounding audience eager to try. The audience couldn't help but take two steps back.

The old man stopped playing his flute.

The young man beside him knelt close to the Indian cobra.

He guided it skillfully, and then found the opportunity to slowly bring his mouth up and try to kiss the Indian cobra.

The viewers in the live broadcast room have all seen Liu Wei kissing a king cobra when he was in the tropical rainforest of Yunnan. They know that this action is very difficult, very dangerous, and looks very exciting, so they all look forward to it.

Liu Wei had a smile on his face. He seemed to have seen through everything. The tricks of the two people on the stage had been exposed in his eyes.

When the young Indian man lowered his mouth, the Indian Cobra's upper body swooped forward. He immediately raised his head, showing nervousness, and then faced the surrounding audience with a smile. After receiving applause from the audience, he lowered his mouth again. Mouth to kiss.

The head of the Indian cobra shook slightly, and the young man kissed it on the mouth. It lasted for several seconds before letting go. The cobra did not react excessively and kept staring at the surrounding audience.

Bang bang bang bang~

The onlookers clapped their hands without hesitation.

Liu Wei also clapped his hands politely with a smile.

"Okay! It looks quite exciting!"

"I don't think it's as good as Ah Wei. The scene when Ah Wei kissed the King Cobra was really exciting!"

"I always feel like that snake is weird!"

"Don't you think it's a prop?"

Old viewers have watched Liu Wei's popular science about snakes many times and have a general understanding of snake habits. They discovered some clues when watching a young Indian man kissing an Indian cobra, but they couldn't explain it. The barrage in the live broadcast room began to discuss stand up.

"The props are not that bad!" Liu Wei said with a smile, "The snake is a real snake. The fake snake cannot fool the audience. It's just that they did some tricks to the snake!"

"?????"

"What hands and feet?"

"Let me tell you, how can a cobra be so docile?"

"Awei, tell me quickly!"
