Chapter 34: Snake Immortal Repays Gratitude (Part 3)

9-12 minutes 30.05.2023

It was saved by an old human man.

The other party was dark and thin, and he looked malnourished all year round. He smacked the inferior tobacco and said:

“I had never seen a white snake before. It’s a pity that a pheasant pecked its body, making it look like a handsome long worm.”

Old Man Li chewed some medicinal herbs every day. Regardless of the white snake’s dislike and resistance, he applied it to the wound where the white snake turned to flesh.

He cooked some cabbage stalks and eats noodles every day. He also goes to the mountains to catch pheasants and voles, mash them into a paste, and pour them into the white snake’s mouth.

“It’s crazy, I only heard that people in big cities don’t eat when depressed, but I’ve never seen any long worms that don’t eat due to depression.”

The Snake Immortal: “… …”

Gradually, it was surprised to find that its body, which had been struck by lightning, got better under the action of this tasteless medicine and food.

So it didn’t resist Old Man Li so much anymore. The first time it threw a fat hare inside the cave, it saw Old Man Li’s surprised and delighted eyes, which made it very disdainful.

Under Old Man Li’s nagging, the Snake Immortal learned that he had a son who was very powerful but not filial.

“My son is very smart, and he was admitted to a good university. It’s me, the father, who is ashamed of him. I don’t have the skills. I don’t have the money to buy him brand-name shoes so that he can’t hold his head up in front of his classmates…”

“I understand that he doesn’t want to call me dad, but I always feel bad, so I just want to earn more money and leave it for him to marry a wife. If I have a grandson and granddaughter in the future, they will call me grandpa, right?”

“My son said he had a girlfriend, a girl in a big city! Now I have to send him 5,000 yuan a month, it’s all because I’m not capable…”

“Hey, it’s better to have a son than a long worm. White snake, this old man treats you as my little grandson. It would be great if you could just open your mouth and talk to me.”

Seeing Old Man Li sighing, the Snake Immortal felt very disdainful.

In its point of view, that so-called son was a white-eyed wolf.

He didn’t even call him a father since he was a child, but he sucked up Old Man Li’s blood every month, and he acted like he owed him everything. He didn’t even think about who paid for his living expenses, tuition, and girlfriend that’s why he reached this far.

Old Man Li was also stupid, he liked being taken advantage of.

While it felt that human beings were boring, it picked up some aged medicinal materials from the mountains from time to time and threw them at the door for Old Man Li to sell.

Looking at Old Man Li’s increasingly surprised eyes, they knew that he should have guessed something.

One day, Old Man Li sat silently in front of the broken door, smoking his cigarette butt, and said dryly:

“White Snake, I’m going into town. My son got a girlfriend and wanted to marry her as his wife, he should buy a house in a big city and set up a family, but I don’t have that much money, so I have to go to the city to try to earn big…’

“I know you are not ordinary, you are psychic. ‘

The Snake Immortal thought to itself: Is it finally coming?

Being saved by human beings, it has inherited kindness and karma. As long as Old Man Li’s request will not be too excessive, it will agree.

Anyway, it was time to leave and go back to the mountains. This accidental fate will come to an end.

However, it heard Old Man Li say:

“It should be very difficult for animals like you in the mountains to cultivate immortality. I don’t want you to repay any kindness. Don’t ruin your cultivation. You are just like my little grandson. I look forward to your well-being and hope that you will succeed in cultivation. Become immortal and enjoy longevity.”

The Snake Immortal was shocked, and it looked at Old Man Li in disbelief.

There was a pair of cloudy eyes on that old black and yellow face. When he smiled, his face was wrinkled and he looked ugly, but his eyes were warm.

At that moment, the Snake Immortal heard that some kind of shackles on its body were broken.

The blessing and expectation from an ordinary human gave it some help in the dark, increasing its possibility of success.

Old Man Li murmured: “I am looking forward to your well-being, just like I am looking forward to my son’s future. If one day you successfully cultivate, then bless my grandchildren to grow up safely, and don’t grow up as cruel as their father.”

As he spoke, he smoked again and again, while wiping away his tears.

The stunned Snake Immortal looked at Old Man Li for a while, then nodded.

It thought in its heart: I will protect your grandchildren, old man as if they were my brother.

The next day the Snake Immortal returned to the mountain, and Old Man Li also went to the big city.

After a few years, it finally passed the most difficult hurdle, and after stepping into a new threshold, it remembered Old Man Li. It returned to the wooden house from the mountains.

The dilapidated house had collapsed, and Old Man Li still hadn’t come back. The Snake Immortal thought that maybe he had already lived a good life with the son he was thinking of.

However, one day, two months after, the Snake Immortal, who was dozing off in the mountains, suddenly felt the formation of a contract.

It raised its head to look out of the mountain and spread its spiritual sense.

The Snake Immortal knows that this was the promise it made a few years ago that has come into effect – because Old Man Li’s grandson finally appeared.

Through the formation of the contract, it came to the city slowly and found that the houses in the city were crowded, and people were close to each other.

It doesn’t know what’s good here, and at the end of the destination, it finally sees the other side of the contract.

It was a young woman who was white and thin and looked like she could fall when the wind blows but looked energetic. The Snake Immortal sensed the newly formed contract power in her belly.

He was Old Man Li’s grandson.

But the strange thing was, it didn’t sense Old Man Li’s scent from this woman.

Until the Snake Immortal saw a man.

It recognized at a glance that he was Old Man Li’s son, and saw that he was carrying a thick evil malice towards Old Man Li.

When the Snake Immortal saw the thick evil malice towards Old Man Li, who came to the big city, he was still disgusted as before and scolded him.

Old Man Li was now in his middle fifties, but he still moved bricks on the construction site during winter and summer, and go to the night market at night to push carts and sell snacks. He can earn 10,000 yuan a month, but he only keeps 500 yuan for himself and gives the rest to his son.

However, this son he was so proud of for studying at a famous university, couldn’t even wash a piece of clothing or socks. He asked Old Man Li to come home at eleven or twelve every day to wash them for him even though Old Man Li was so tired and felt sore all over his body.

This young man with hands and feet used his father’s hard-earned money to set up a persona of a genius investor in the school, but he scolded and treated his father like a slave or a dog.

One day, the son with an indifferent face stood in front of his father:

“It’s really bad luck for me to have a father like you. You don’t have a house or a car. Do you know how good my girlfriend’s family is? I have nothing, how could my family agree to this marriage?”

“I don’t care, you should fulfill your responsibilities after you gave birth to me, you have to find a way to buy me a house. ‘

Old Man Li said: “Son, can we buy a little less expensive house? I sold the land in my hometown and collected all my savings, but I can’t still afford to buy a house in the city center. ‘

But the young man just sneered: “Don’t tell me these things, you have to buy them in the city center, otherwise my girlfriend’s family will look down on me. Can’t you think of a way to make money?”

“Some people’s parents sell their blood or kidneys to give the best to their children, why are you so useless?”

Old Man Li’s lips were trembling, then turned and left after a while.

A week later, under the arrangement of the “guarantor”, he went into an underground clinic with a blank face.

After he came out, he looked haggard, like a ghost about to die, with something missing in his body, but his wallet was bulging.

Old Man Li exchanged his organs and lifespan for a house in the city center for his son.

He recuperated for a month, then with his frail body, he helped during the building process of the house all the way. He moved cement, changed the window screens, and plastered the walls… …

He came to repair and clean the house while his son and girlfriend were away, but Xiao Ma bumped into him.

That was the first time Old Man Li saw his son’s girlfriend. He couldn’t help but look twice, but he was scolded bloody by his son afterward.

One day, he exhausted his last drop of effort, and quietly died of exhaustion in the model house.

Until he closed his eyes, he didn’t hear his son call him father, and he didn’t see the grandchildren he was looking forward to seeing… …

Seeing all this evil malice, the Snake Immortal was furious.

It thought that Old Man Li was a wimp, but it didn’t expect him to die in such a ‘wonderful’ way.

There wasn’t even a proper funeral after death.

So it not only wants to repay the favor.

But also revenge.
