Zhou Zihaoâs body got stiff in fright. He leaned to Yang Dashuai without daring to make a big move. The giant snakeâs straight upper body was nearly two meters tall. It almost reached the ceiling. Its eyes were like car lights beaming while staring at him. After a long time, the giant snake didnât find anything wrong. It crawled and passed through the wall at the head of the bed.
When Zhou Zihao heard the familiar crawling sound passed by, he didnât know if he should breathe a sigh of relief. He lived in the villa intermittently for more than ten days and he never had a peaceful sleep. The snake had never hurt him before, so it must be fine to sleep today.
After comforting himself, Zhou Zihaoâs heart gradually calmed down. Hearing the snoring sound of the people next to him, he gradually fell sleepy and in the end, fell asleep.

He didnât have a dream this night. When Zhou Zihao woke up the next day, Yang Dashuai and Zhou Wensheng, who slept in the same bed, were already up. Zhou Zihao opened the quilt and looked at the bright sunshine outside. His mood was much better than yesterday.
Zhou Wensheng brought the cooked breakfast to the dining table. The two old couples were eating soft glutinous tofu, egg custard, and sweet bean paste buns while talking to Zhou Wensheng: âYou people, why did you all sleep on the third floor?â
Zhou Wensheng poured the fragrant meat sauce onto the tofu and egg custard and explained patiently: âZhihaoâs friends are here, we talk all night.â
âDonât go to bed too late, itâs not good for your health.â Grandpa Zhou took a bite of the egg custard and swallowed it, then turned his head and told his wife: âYou try this one, itâs delicious.â
Yang Dashuai, who was sitting next to Grandpa Zhou, also ate the meat sauce noodles. Grandpa Zhou dragged the chicken feet in the earthen jar in front of Yang Dashuai, for fear that he could not reach it. Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou lived next door to Yang Dashuaiâs house when they were still taking care of Zhou Zihao in Qi City. Yang Dashuai and their family treat each other like a real family.
After washing, Zhou Zihao met Lin Qingyin and Fatty Wang. He couldnât wait to tell them what happened last night. He scratched his hair a little tangledly and said: âI wear the little masterâs talisman last night, so the snake couldnât see me. It didnât stare at me like before. It only made me feel nervous for a while.â
Lin Qingyin smiled: âIn fact, you donât need to ask others about this matter, just ask your grandparents.â
Zhou Zihao thought of the appearance of the giant snake, with a tangled expression on his face: âCould it be that my grandfather save an immortal white snake and it was trying to pay gratitude?â He thought about the appearance of the white snake and asked a little uncertainly. : âOr did he stewed this white snake?â
Lin Qingyin was stunned for a moment, then deeply thought about Zhou Zihaoâs words: âCan snakes be eaten too? Is it delicious?â
âItâs delicious!â Zhou Zihao replied subconsciously and licked his lips: âI have eaten snake soup in the south and itâs very fragrant.â
Zhou Wensheng brought the two prepared breakfasts to the table and then went upstairs to tell them to come down to eat. As soon as he went up to the third floor, he saw three people standing on the stairs, talking seriously. The little master looked serious while rubbing her belly.
âLittle Master and Master Wang, the breakfast is ready.â Zhou Wensheng greeted him and then asked, âWhat are you talking about?â
Zhou Zihao smiled and touched the back of his head: âIâm talking to the little master about how delicious the snake meat is.â
Lin Qingyin swallowed and looked at Zhou Wensheng hopefully: âCan you make snake meat?â
âEat the snake meat last night?â Zhou Wensheng almost cried out: âI really donât know this! To tell you the truth, I donât have a big pot that can fit it!â
