“Women and children are frightened after seeing such a big white snake, but the elderly said that the presence of snakes in the house is a good sign. It means the snake will protect the peace of the family. It’s better not to hurt it. Zhou Tonghe is very dissatisfied with this kind of thing, but it is the blessing day of his house. So he didn’t say any bad remarks.

“When the new house is finished, the custom-made furniture is brought inside. After a few days, Zhou Tonghe’s family moved in. The house that Zhou Tonghe built at that time is not small. He had been an official all his life. People talk about him all the time, but they couldn’t tell how much money he has earned. Their conversation made a group of gangsters had an idea. The same night, they took their swords and went into the yard to kill people. However, a white snake appeared just after entering the house…”

Before Grandpa Zhou finished speaking, Zhou Zihao couldn’t help but interject and ask: “Grandpa, didn’t you say that everyone has passed out? So how did they know that the white snake coming out that day?”

Grandpa Zhou glanced at him: “Zhou Tonghe woke up after being drugged the next morning and found that there are five or six dead people lying down in the room. The faces of these people are distorted. Their bones are also squeezed and broken. Zhou Tonghe had been an official for a long time. He handled many cases. He knew what happened in a glance. After examining the corpses, he remembered the white snake that appeared on the day of his house blessings.”

“These gangsters are all popular murderers in the county. They have robbed and killed many people. The county magistrate is also having a headache because of them. Now that the gangsters are dead, the people in the county are very happy. For their strange way of death, many people have different opinions, but Zhou Tonghe’s neighbors believe that those people were killed by the white snake. After all, everyone had seen the white snake that day. With its thick body, it’s not a problem to squeezed people to death. At that time, someone asked Zhou Tonghe curiously if he had rescued the white snake before so now it is repaying this favor.”

“As if it was a reminder, Zhou Tonghe remembered the white snake he had saved when he was young. It’s just that, he is simply joking at the time, so he didn’t expect the white snake to really come to him.”

“Zhou Tonghe immediately asked people to put a memorial for the White Snake at home. On the 15th day of the first lunar year, they put tributes like chickens and ducks, and then close the room. The next day, when the door was opened, the tributes were gone.”

Zhou Zihao felt that he was courageous enough. He didn’t expect that his grandfather was more courageous than him when he was a child. He actually believed what was written on the fiction-like notebooks and bravely set up a tribute. Isn’t he afraid of destroying the house?

“Grandpa, did that white snake came?”

Grandpa Zhou nodded his head and showed a warm smile: “At the time of the day, it came!”
