Chapter 471: Snake God

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After leaving the medical center, Lin Suisui went to Mrs. Luo’s food shop again.

When Lin Suisui went to the northern barbarians’ place, they told the public that someone was sick and had invited Lin Suisui over to treat him. Therefore, during this period of time, Mrs. Luo only treated it as Lin Suisui leaving Cloud Mountain City for the time being. Now that she suddenly saw Lin Suisui appear in front of her, after her initial shock, Mrs. Luo was overjoyed.

“I was talking about you yesterday. 1 didn’t expect you to come back today,” Mrs. Luo said as she let Lin Suisui into the shop. At the same time, she didn’t forget to ask Fang Rui’er to pour tea.

Fang Liu was already heavy, so she could only do some simple kitchen work in the backyard. When she heard that Lin Suisui was coming over, she followed Fang Rui’er out with a happy expression to welcome Lin Suisui.

After Lin Suisui sat down, she pulled Fang Liu to take her pulse. Fang Liu was completely different from Princess Ning Fu, whom she had just examined. Fang Liu was very healthy.

“Ever since I became pregnant, every time I went to the medical center to deliver food, Dr. Luo would take my pulse. This child is obedient and doesn’t cause much trouble. I have a big appetite and whatever 1 eat tastes delicious.” Fang Liu reached out and stroked her bulging abdomen as she smiled at Lin Suisui and told her about her situation during this period of time in a low voice.

Fang Liu couldn’t hide the happiness on her face.

After not seeing Lin Suisui for so long, Mrs. Luo wanted to ask her to stay for dinner. Lin Suisui didn’t refuse and asked Bai Guo to arrange for someone to send a message back.

Mrs. Luo knew Lin Suisui’s taste and habits, so she asked Fang Rui’er to quickly go out and buy fish and prawns. Then, she took out the pickled beans and soaked them in water before preparing them in the backyard.

Although Lin Suisui couldn’t help much, she stayed in the backyard and chatted with Mrs. Luo and her daughter-in-law.

“True God?” Because she had come into contact with a lot of strange things recently, Mrs. Luo’s casual remark attracted Lin Suisui’s attention.

“Yes, it’s very effective.” Mrs. Luo was washing the vegetables in her hand with the well water in the courtyard. Seeing that Lin Suisui was interested in what she said, she told Lin Suisui in detail.

“Actually, I don’t know much about this either. It appeared two months ago. I don’t know how it rose up, but many people around us have gone there to pray.

Not only were they praying for children, but there were also people praying for fortune.

What’s worshiped in that shrine looks like a nine-headed snake, but the cleaning lady said that it’s not a snake, but a dragon!”

At this point, Mrs. Luo couldn’t help but purse her lips. Then, she continued, “But 1 went to see it with a few neighbors. It didn’t look like a real dragon at all. It looked like a snake!”

“Nine-headed snake?” Lin Suisui suddenly thought of something. “Naga Snake God?”

“That seems to be the name!” Mrs. Luo froze for a moment before she suddenly nodded repeatedly. “Anyway, that’s what the cleaning lady called it. She said that as long as we worshiped it sincerely, we would be able to obtain good luck.”

Lin Suisui looked up and asked curiously, “How do you guys worship it?”

Mrs. Luo thought for a moment before saying, “It seems that the most pious way of worshipping is to invite the statue of the true god home and set up a shrine. We have to use fresh flowers, fruits, and wine to worship it every day.”

At this point, Mrs. Luo couldn’t help but laugh and mutter, “But you also know that families like ours try to save as much as we can even when buying food. How can we have the ability to prepare fresh flowers, fruits, and wine every day?

Besides, I don’t believe in these things.

In the past, when they were in their hometown, everyone in the village believed in God and Buddha. However, when disaster struck, the nuns in the temple all died of illness and hunger. Could it be that they were not pious enough when worshipping God and Buddha?

At the end of the day, they still had to live their own lives.

To put it bluntly, I was just praying for peaceful days.”

Mrs. Luo quickly washed the vegetables in her hand clean.

“I don’t believe it, but Old Madam Guo and her daughter-in-law believe in it without a doubt. They really brought that statue back to worship it.”

As Mrs. Luo washed the vegetables, she said in a dissatisfied tone, “I don’t know what’s wrong with Old Madam Guo recently, but she comes over from time to time to nag. She even suggested more than once that our eldest son’s family go over and offer incense to the statue. No matter how hard we refuse, it’s useless.”

Lin Suisui was silent for a moment before she couldn’t help but suggest, “1 suggest that you guys stay away from that family for the time being.”

“I know a little about this statue. It’s a faith from the Siamese Kingdom. 1 can’t explain things too clearly, but it’s obvious that it’s definitely not a good thing for such a temple to appear in Cloud Mountain City at this time.

Now that Sister-in-law is pregnant, you guys have to be careful. My suggestion is to avoid them.”

Mrs. Luo trusted Lin Suisui’s words unconditionally.

Although Lin Suisui didn’t say things too explicitly, since she had spoken, Mrs. Luo agreed.

As the two of them were talking, another friendly greeting came from outside. “Hey, Sister Luo, why isn’t there anyone in the shop?”

When Mrs. Luo heard this familiar voice, she couldn’t help but frown. However, she quickly regained her senses and stood up to greet the chubby woman who had appeared in front of them. “There’s a guest at home. Are you going out again, Sister Guo?”

Mrs. Luo was keen and immediately saw the few pears in the basket in the woman’s hand. As usual, she asked politely.

“No, I just came back from outside.” Aunt Guo had never seen Lin Suisui before, but seeing that she was dressed well, she didn’t dare to address her so casually. Her eyes darted around as she opened the basket in her hand with a smile and took out two sweet pears. Then, she explained to Mrs. Luo, “My sister-in-law just sent them over. The pears she found in the mountains are very sweet!

I’ll leave a few for you to try. Your eldest son’s wife is pregnant now.. Eating more fresh fruits is good for the child!”
