Chapter 1128 The Obedient Ghost-Faced Snake

A big river, a small village, and a loess road with green grass on both sides.

"Qing'er, are you going to pick vegetables?" An old woman in her fifties greeted a young pregnant woman who was walking towards them.

"Second grandma, grandpa has been too lazy to eat recently, and I'm so worried. I don't know what to cook to suit the old man's taste." The young pregnant woman with a small bamboo basket in her arms said with a worried look on her face. She was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and her eyebrows and eyes were still full of youth, but her belly was already bulging high.

"Don't worry, your grandpa is an old immortal." The old lady leaned close to the pregnant woman named Qing'er and whispered, "He wants to go now. If he doesn't want to go, he can live another hundred years without hearing or eyesight."

"Ah?" Qing'er looked at the second grandma in surprise.

The second grandma continued to whisper, "My grandpa Wang'er and your grandpa get along best. A few days ago, grandpa Wang'er told Wang'er's father that your grandpa said he had lived enough and could go with peace of mind after seeing his great-grandson."

"Really?" Qing'er's face changed.

Second Grandma held her hand and said, "Don't say it out loud. Just know it in your heart. You have to think about it. You young people are afraid of death. When you reach the age of Grandpa Wang'er and your grandfather, they are not afraid of death. They are the only two of their generation left in the village. It's boring to think about it. Grandpa Wang'er also grumbles every day that he wants to die early."

"But...but our grandfather is healthy and pain-free. He doesn't suffer at all." Second Grandma patted her arm and said, "Don't say this in front of our old man. He gets angry when he mentions your grandfather's strong body." After smiling and admonishing, she put away her smile and said mysteriously, "Your grandfather is indeed a god, and you just married him. You don't know about the past, and I can't tell you much. But even if he is a god, he has to go. Calculate how old your grandfather is? If he doesn't go, won't he become an old demon?"

"Then is he a god or a demon?" Qing'er was a little scared when she heard it.

"Of course it's a god, a god who saves people from suffering. I mean, if he doesn't leave, outsiders will think he's a demon, but we villagers won't. We don't want your grandfather to leave. With his protection, our Taihe River can be peaceful, but he can't leave. We can only hope that he can continue to protect us in secret after he turns into a god."

"Does grandpa really have any magical powers?" Qing'er asked nervously.

The second grandmother pursed her lips that couldn't hold back words and whispered, "I really can't say this. The secret of heaven cannot be leaked. If you say it, you will be punished by heaven. Don't ask around. No one in the village dares to talk about this. I'm telling you too much. Remember, don't ask around. If those two old men know that I talked too much with you, I'll have to bear it. Remember!"

"Oh..." Qing'er frowned with doubts.

"Don't ask about this. I'm only telling you a few more words because you're worried. Don't cheat me." The second grandma was obviously very regretful.

"I know. Don't worry. I won't cause you any trouble." Qing'er nodded solemnly.

"That's good." The second grandma breathed a sigh of relief. A smile appeared on her wrinkled face. She touched her belly and said, "It must be a big fat boy. Second grandma thinks it's good. I'll deliver your baby later and make sure it's safe."

"Thank you, second grandma. I'll definitely trouble you then."

"No trouble, no trouble. You're a sensible child, handsome and filial. Go pick the vegetables." The second grandma patted her on the shoulder affectionately, and left a reminder before leaving. Seeing Qing'er nod knowingly, she left with peace of mind.

Second Grandma walked a few steps and couldn't help but secretly turned back. She glanced at Qing'er's back, then walked quickly towards Aunt Wu's house. She had to have a good chat with Aunt Wu about how Qing'er was still so tender even though she was about to give birth. Except for her belly, which looked like a pregnant woman, other parts were not out of shape at all. Although she had talked to Aunt Wu about this several times, she had to talk about it today. This was too strange, and she felt itchy if she didn't talk about it. Qing'er, who was worried, walked to her vegetable garden and picked vegetables while thinking about what Second Grandma said. She had only been married for a year and knew very little about this small village, but she could vaguely feel that her grandfather was a little unusual. Second Grandma's words really made her mutter. When she absent-mindedly reached out to pick a small melon, she suddenly saw a raised snake head. The snake head was only an inch away from her hand, and two fangs flashed a white light. "Ah!" She was so scared that her body went limp and she closed her eyes subconsciously. She knew it was a "ghost-faced snake", which was not only ferocious but also extremely poisonous. This time she would definitely die!

After a while, she opened her eyes tremblingly and desperately searched for the wound on her hand. She was really scared. Not only was her mind slow, but her senses were also numb. She searched for a long time but didn't see the wound, but she was still desperate. She firmly believed that the snake must have bitten her. In such a close distance, the ghost-faced snake would not fail to attack.

At this moment, she was more or less awake, trying to feel where the pain was in her body, and then her eyes widened again, because she saw that the snake had not left yet, and was entrenched several feet in front of her feet!

"Ah!" Screaming again, Qing'er, who was limp on the ground, used her hands and feet to retreat with all her strength, but her hands and feet were not very obedient, and she couldn't retreat a few feet after working hard for a long time.

"Don't come over! Don't come over!" She cried anxiously.

After kicking a few more times, she stopped and stared at the snake slowly moving.

Backing away, it twisted its head to look at her while crawling back. After crawling out for a while, the snake stopped again, raising its head as if to look at her carefully.

Qing'er stared at the snake without moving. She didn't feel scared now, because the snake's eyes turned out to be gentle, and the ghost-faced snake's eyes turned out to be gentle! She couldn't believe it, but the look in the snake's eyes made her feel at ease. It was so weird.

"Go, go, go quickly." Qing'er, who had completely recovered, became frightened again and begged softly. After all, this was a ghost-faced snake, and the biggest shadow in her heart came from this kind of snake.

The snake seemed a little reluctant and tentatively crawled towards her again.

"Don't come over! I'll beat you to death! Don't come over!" Qing'er raised the bamboo basket in her hand in horror.

The Ghost-faced Snake stopped obediently, shook its head slightly for a while, and then slowly crawled away, but after crawling far away, it still turned its head to look this way from time to time.

Qing'er waited until her legs and feet had strength, then hurriedly struggled to stand up, not caring about picking up the melons and vegetables that fell on the ground, and ran back with the diabolo in her arms.

Running onto the dirt road, she was just about to catch her breath when she heard a rustle in the grass, and the snake was following her again! This frightened her so much that she almost collapsed again. After running for a while with her big belly, she saw the snake following her like an obedient puppy. When she stopped, the snake stopped. She chased after the snake when it ran away. What Qing'er felt from the snake's eyes this time was not only gentleness, but also a bit of dependence.

"Let's go. If others see you, they will beat you to death." Qing'er said to the ghost-faced snake in a soft voice, as if she had some enlightenment. She did not expect that she would feel pity for a ghost-faced snake, but this snake He really seems to be very sensible.

I don't know if he understood her words, but the snake turned around again and didn't come back this time.
