Fortune Teller Master

Hearing the three words “did it come”, everyone held their breath and looked at Grandpa Zhou.

Grandpa Zhou showed a reminiscence look on his face: “At that time, I was still you and feel sleepy. After waiting for a while, I fell asleep. I was awakened by the rustling sound in the middle of the night. I looked up and saw a huge white snake hanging on the beam. Most of its body was wrapped around the beam, and its upper body hung down and stared at me.” Thinking of that scene, the old man laughed: “To be honest, I didn’t feel scared at all. On the contrary, I feel like seeing a relative, because I know that this snake guarded our family for hundred years. So I got up, worshiped it, and then passed the food on the offering table. The white snake looked at me, leaned over, and swallowed the roast chicken from my hand.”

Hearing such picturesque words, Zhou Wenshan and Zhou Zihao couldn’t help but hugged their arms. Although they knew that the white snake was guarding their house, they still didn’t have the courage to be so close to it. Their grandfather was really courageous.

Grandpa Zhou saw the thoughts of the two of them and smiled softly: “They said that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. I really didn’t think it is scary at the time. In fact, what scared me more is my mother’s feather duster. When my mother found out that I steal our family’s living expenses for half a month, she chased me for half a street with a feather duster. I couldn’t get the money from home, so I had to go up the mountain to find tribute. With a slingshot, sometimes I can hit a pheasant, and sometimes I can catch a hare. After I hit the prey, I cleaned up the wild animals by the river and cooked them.”

When Zhou Zihao heard this, he couldn’t help interrupting Grandpa Zhou: “Grandpa, doesn’t snake eat raw food? Why do you still bother to cook it?”

Grandpa Zhou gave Zhou Zihao a dissatisfied look: “When our ancestors offered tribute to the white snake, it’s all cooked. It’s disrespectful to offer raw foods.”

Zhou Zihao honestly closed his mouth and didn’t dare to say anything. The old man coughed twice with a guilty conscience. He doesn’t want to say that he didn’t think that time that snakes could actually eat raw food at that time.

“Nobody in my family knows the existence of the white snake. I secretly worship it, and it silently protected our family. In those days, the war is raging, and the white snake protected us again and again. It killed the traitors and the bandits who took advantage of the fire, and even swallow heartless soldiers who ran to our house.”

“Under the protection of the white snake, our family escaped the war without incident. Later, the war subsided and I grew up, but the white snake, who had lived for hundreds of years, became extremely weak and could only stay in its own cave. At that time, I no longer worship it every 15th of the new year. I catch pheasants and rabbits every day and give them to the white snake. And because I am worried that there would not be enough prey outside, the chickens and ducks raised at home that I am reluctant to be feed to my children were also given to the white snake .”

“In the beginning, it was okay. Although I didn’t tell your grandmother clearly, the villagers said that our family is giving an offering to a life-saving immortal snake, so she simply accepted it even if she was confused. Since then, no matter how many chickens and ducks I took out of my house. She didn’t care about it.”

Grandma Zhou raised her head and smiled at Grandpa Zhou when she heard this. Her understanding and support in this matter were reflected in this smile.
