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

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

"Second Grandma, grandpa has been too lazy to eat lately. I'm so worried that I don't know what to do to suit the old man's taste." A young pregnant woman with a small bamboo basket in her arm said with a sad look on her face. She was only seventeen years old.

At eight years old, her face and eyes are still full of youthfulness, but her belly is already swollen.

"Don't worry, your grandpa is an old god." The old lady whispered in the ear of the pregnant woman named Qing'er, "He wants to leave. If he doesn't want to leave, he will not be able to hear anything if he lives for another hundred years."

Deaf and blind."

"Ah?" Qing'er looked at Second Grandma in surprise.

The second grandma continued to whisper, "My grandpa Wang'er and your grandpa have the best rapport. A few days ago, grandpa Wang'er told daddy Wang'er that your grandpa said that he has lived enough, and he can go there with peace of mind after just seeing his great-grandson."

.”

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

The second grandma took her hand and said, "Don't say it out loud, just know it in your heart. You have to be more open-minded about this matter. You young people are afraid of death. When you are the age of Grandpa Wang'er and your grandpa, they

I’m not afraid of death anymore. They are the only two people of my generation in the village. It’s boring to think about it. Grandpa Wang’er is also muttering about dying early every day.”

"But...but our grandfather is free from illness and pain, so he won't be punished at all."

The second grandma patted her on the arm and said, "Don't say this in front of our old man. He will get angry whenever he mentions your grandpa's tough body." After smiling and telling her, she stopped smiling and became mysterious.

Xi said, "Your grandfather is indeed a god. You just married him. You don't know what happened before, and I can't tell you more. But even a god must leave. How old is your grandfather?"

If you don’t leave, won’t you become an old goblin?”

"Is that a fairy or a fairy?" Qing'er felt a little scared after hearing this.

"Of course he is a god, a god who saves people in trouble. I mean, if he doesn't leave, outsiders will think of him as a goblin. Naturally, people in our village will not think of him. We don't want your grandpa to go. With his protection, our Taihe can

The weather is calm, but he has to leave. We can only hope that he can still protect us secretly after turning into a god."

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

The second grandmother pursed her mouth that could not hold any words, and whispered, "I really can't say this, the secret must not be leaked, and if I say it, I will be punished by God. Don't go and ask around, no one in the village dares to say this.

, I’ve told you too much now, remember it, don’t ask around, if those two old men know that I talk too much to you, I will suffer, remember it!”

"Oh..." Qing'er frowned suspiciously.

"You must not inquire about this matter. I only wanted to say a few words to you because I saw you were worried. You can't trick me." The second grandma obviously regretted it very much.

"I understand, don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble." Qing'er nodded solemnly and said.

"That's good." Second Grandma breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her wrinkled face. She touched her belly and said, "He must be a big fat boy. Second Grandma thinks he looks good. I will deliver the baby to you later and keep it safe."

"

"Thank you, Second Grandma. I will definitely trouble you then."

"No trouble, no trouble. You are a sensible child, handsome and filial. Go and pick vegetables." The second grandma patted her on the shoulder affectionately, and before leaving, she gave her a warning look. She saw Qing'er's understanding.

After nodding her head, she felt relieved and went.

The second grandma took a few steps and couldn't help but look back secretly

She glanced at Qing'er's back, and then walked quickly towards the fifth aunt's house. She had to have a good chat with the fifth aunt, how could Qing'er be so tender even though she was about to give birth? Except for her belly, which looked like a pregnant woman, there was nothing else about her.

She didn't look out of place. Although she had talked about this matter with her fifth aunt several times, she still had to talk about it today. It was so strange that she felt very itchy.

Qing'er, who was worried, walked to her vegetable patch, picking vegetables while thinking about what her 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 family

This grandpa was a bit unusual, and the second grandma's words really made her murmur.

When she absent-mindedly reached out to pick a small melon, she suddenly saw a raised snake head. The snake's head was only an inch away from her hand, and its two fangs were shining brightly.

"Ah!" She was so frightened that her body softened and she closed her eyes subconsciously. She knew this was a "ghost-faced snake", which was not only ferocious in nature but also extremely poisonous. She would definitely die this time!

After a while, she opened her eyes tremblingly, desperately looking for a wound on that hand. She was really frightened. Not only was her mind sluggish, but her consciousness was also a little numb. After searching for a long time, she couldn't find a wound, but she felt sad in her heart.

Still desperate, she firmly believed that the snake must have bitten her. At such a close distance, the Ghost-faced Snake would not fail to attack.

At this moment, she was more or less awake, and tried to feel the pain anywhere in her body. Then her eyes widened again, because she saw the snake lingering a few feet away from her feet before it left!

"Ah!" She screamed again, and Qing'er, who was paralyzed on the ground, tried her best to move back with her hands and feet, but her hands and feet didn't obey her orders very well, and she didn't move back more than a few feet after working for a long time.

"Don't come over! Don't come over!" She burst into tears.

After kicking a few more times, she stopped, staring blankly at the snake slowly moving

Backing away, it turned its head to look at her while crawling. 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. The eyes of the ghost-faced snake turned out to be gentle! She couldn't believe it, but the snake's eyes turned out to be gentle.

The look in his 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 were strong, then hurriedly struggled to stand up, not caring about picking up the 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, and after running for a while with her big belly, she saw the snake

Like an obedient puppy, he followed her not far or near. When she stopped, the snake stopped. When she ran, the snake followed her. Qing'er felt not only gentleness in the snake's eyes this time, but also seemed to

Still a little dependent.

"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 didn't expect that she would feel pity for a ghost-faced snake, but this snake

He really seems to be very sensible.
