Fortune Teller Master

Chapter 64.2: Zhou Zihao Part 2

“Later, trouble came knocking to our house again. The son of a bandit who was killed by the white snake, Wang Gao, brought a group of young men to smash our house and said to me to hand over the white snake. I denied it, but Wang Gao didn’t believe it. He turns our house upside down. I got hurt. My forehead is injured and my arm got broken. He also kicks your grandmother in her stomach.” Grandpa Zhou stretched out his hand and held Grandma Zhou’s hand. There was a look of guilt in his eyes: “I didn’t protect her. She lost her child, after all, she was only three months pregnant.”

Zhou Wensheng was already born at that time, but because he was still young, he couldn’t remember what happened at that time. He only vaguely remembered that his mother stayed lying in bed for seven or eight months.

“My wife shed had a lot of blood at the time. Those people were so scared that they dispersed. I rushed her to the hospital, and when the situation stabilized, I brought her back to the house and gave her chicken soup.” Grandpa Zhou’s hand on the table clenched into a fist. His voice was a little choked: “I cook two whole chickens when making the chicken soup. One for my wife and the other is for the white snake.”

“Wang Gao has always been angry with the White Snake, so he secretly follows behind me when I go up the mountain. He also had followed me before, but I got rid of him. However, that day, I was delayed because of the commotion at home. I didn’t notice that he has been following me, so I lead him into the White Snake Cave.”

Seeing the appearance of his grandson inhaling nervously, Grandpa Zhou’s eyes turned red: “When I arrived that day, I found that the white snake didn’t come out to the entrance. I thought it was very hungry to come out, so I went inside to give the chicken. After eating the chicken, it rubbed my head with its head and then whizzed out from the hole. I found out that Wang Gao was behind me holding a sharp ax in his hand. While I was taken aback, the white snake rushed to Wang Gao’s body, opened his mouth, and swallowed him alive.”

“I know that the white snake swallowed Wang Gao to protect me and to avenge my unborn child. Maybe because it doesn’t want to cause me trouble again, the white snake went to the mountain after looking back at me a few times. I desperately follow behind, but in the end, I saw it jump off the cliff.”

Grandpa Zhou wiped his tears with the palm of his hand: “The cliff is very high and there is no deep river underneath. I have been searching below for many years, but I didn’t find it. I don’t know if it died or escaped by luck.” He looked at the old house that was not far away, with nostalgia on his face: “Zihao told me to demolish the old house after building the villa for me, but I did not let him. Although the house looks dilapidated, that is the home where I lived with the white snake.”

Grandpa Zhou burst into tears after saying this. Zhou Wensheng and Zhou Zihao also wiped their tears with their hands. Seeing the family crying so uncomfortably, Yang Dashuai couldn’t help but ask what was in his heart for them: “Little Master, why did the white snake jump off the cliff?”

Lin Qingyin, who didn’t speak from the beginning to the end, sighed lightly: “Although it can’t speak or transform into a human form, it has already opened up its spiritual wisdom. According to your story, the white snake was badly injured when it was hit by thunder and almost eaten by an eagle. Your ancestor rescued it from the eagle’s claws and treated its wounds, which caused an effect with it. At the same time, your ancestor said to repay him. Even though he was just joking, but in the snake’s heart, this is a promise that must be fulfilled. But—”
