Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

Because Chu Wuji had just used up a lot of the firewood he had collected in advance to boil water for her to soak her feet, and the remaining twigs were not enough to start a fire in the second half of the night.

The rain was still falling outside, and the branches were all wet, so it would be difficult to use them as firewood even if we picked them up.

It would be particularly difficult for him to survive a cold autumn night.

Seeing that his aunt really had no intention of taking a bath, Chu Wuji no longer hesitated. He ignored the taste and the astringency of the medicinal herbs and ate the shrimp in big mouthfuls. Then he squatted down and immersed himself completely in the medicinal hot spring pit to relieve the fatigue in his body.

The green snake sat in her original position and warmed herself by the fire. From time to time, she could see Chu Wuji sneaking his head out of the corner of her eye to check if she was still there. When he found that she had not left, Chu Wuji put his head back into the hot water.

"...Pfft."

When Aunt Green Snake saw him like this, she was inexplicably tickled and laughed out loud inadvertently.

"Aunt, did you hear anything just now? Who's laughing?"

Chu Wuji suddenly emerged from the water and looked at her solemnly, but found that the woman had an indifferent and impatient expression on her face, as if she was disgusted by the abrupt movement he made.

"No, except for the sudden explosion of your water, which disturbed the peace and quiet here, I didn't hear anything."

"...Is that so? I must have heard it wrongly."

Chu Wuji looked around suspiciously with a vigilant expression, and finally sank back into the water.

Aunt Green Snake turned her face away as if nothing had happened and quietly digested the rest of her smile.

She stood up, looked at the two warrior robes hung by Chu Wuzhi, and gently stroked the scaly part.

Chu Wu Ji used to wear two pieces of clothing together, a white robe as the base and a black robe as the outside. It was almost late autumn, so this way of wearing it would keep him warmer.

Green Snake's gaze first fell on the black robe, which was made of her shed skin. She noticed that there were several ugly patches on it and frowned.

"It's so ugly, it can't be my sister's work. Could it be the work of that orphan ghost? She really thinks she's a good wife and mother, but she sewed it into this horrible shape..."

Green Snake's gaze returned to the white robe, and her eyes softened, as if she was looking at her sister, White Snake, and she murmured:

"Sister, the child you raised has good character, but he's too stupid. I can't convince him, so I guess I can only abandon him and leave."

After muttering to herself for a few words, she removed the stitches on the warrior's black robe, condensed her spiritual power into a needle, threaded the silk thread, and sewed up the holes again.

After an unknown amount of time, the green snake finished her needlework and hung up her robe contentedly. Suddenly, she remembered something -

"Why hasn't Chu Wuji come out yet?"

She looked towards the hot spring pit, but there was no movement for a long time. She started to panic. Could it be that the boy was so tired that he fell asleep in the water?

Green Snake and her sister would be fine if they could sleep peacefully underwater for a whole year, but Chu Wuji can't do that!

If I really fell asleep, I wouldn’t even know I was choking to death!

"Don't use the clothes I just made for you, or they'll be used to build your cenotaph!"

The woman was anxious and grabbed Chu Wuzhi out of the water and put him on the ground, then she looked stunned.

He did fall asleep, and slept peacefully, without choking even after sleeping underwater for so long.

"Natural fetal breathing? I guess it's the warmth of this hot spring pit that I subconsciously mistake for amniotic fluid. This guy scared me..."

When practicing fetal breathing, the efficiency of rest is far greater than that of ordinary people's sleep.

The green snake wanted him to continue practicing fetal breathing, which would be beneficial for the healing of his injuries, so she put Chu Wu Ji back into the water.

As a result, not long after he was put back, Chu Wuzhi immediately jumped up from the puddle.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

He supported himself on the ground with his hands, coughing violently and spitting out the water that had choked his throat.

The aunt beside him felt a little guilty and ashamed. It was probably because she had pulled him ashore for a short while, away from the environment similar to the mother's amniotic fluid, that Chu Wuji ended the fetal breathing exercise on his own, and she put Chu Wuji back...

This behavior is like: if a baby is not born smoothly, someone else puts the baby back in and tries to make it come out of the factory again.

Aunt Qingshe saw that Chu was fine and waited until he had almost recovered. Then she pretended to be indifferent and said:

"I fell asleep while taking a bath and almost choked myself to death. Seriously... Go lie down over there and continue sleeping!"

Chu Wuji didn't understand the situation at all. His first reaction was to see if the woman had run away. But when he heard his aunt's scolding, he felt relieved.

I also unexpectedly heard a little bit of concern.

It is inevitable that elders will scold younger generations. His godmother Bai Sujin has also scolded him. However, judging from Chu Wuji's past travels, the elders in many families say that they care about and teach their children, but in fact they are just looking for an opportunity to vent their anger on their children.

Sure enough, a mother is still a mother, and her feelings for her children remain unchanged!

No matter how violent and evil the White Snake Lady's temper was, she still cared about him, but it was not very obvious.

Chu Wuji tried to further awaken maternal love:

"Auntie, my pants are wet. Can you use magic to help dry them for me? I want to wear them to sleep."

My aunt rolled her eyes at him and said:

"Hang yourself by the fire and roast yourself, and sleep naked without changing clothes! You little furry kid who can't even eat one bite is enough for me, and you're still afraid of exposing yourself?"

Sure enough, although this concern is not obvious, it is not much either.

What's wrong with Chapter 60?

Chu Wuzhi touched his robe and found that the robe that was previously soaked was now dry.

Not to mention that it is raining now, even in the hot summer, this robe cannot dry so quickly, right?

Did your aunt help dry it?

Chu Wu Ji looked at the woman next to him in confusion, and found that she frowned and glared back at him unhappily. Chu Wu Ji immediately became intimidated and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

"Auntie, my robe dries quickly. Can I give you one to cover yourself with? If you're not cold, you can use it as a cushion."

Green Snake subconsciously wanted to refuse, she would only accept the kindness of her sister White Snake, but when she heard Chu Wuji's words clearly, she made an exception and nodded to accept.

"Give me the white robe."

"Give."

After Chu Wuji handed it over, he felt that his aunt's attitude towards him had changed, and seemed to be a little friendlier.

Chu Wuzhi spread his black robe on the ground and lay down. He found that he couldn't sleep. It seemed that he had just slept enough in the hot spring pit and was in a good mental state.

He quietly looked at the woman in the white dress.

Although her appearance and figure are the same as her godmother's, her personality is completely different, even more different than the godmother who was possessed by a female ghost before.

My aunt sat in an unrestrained posture, like an unconventional female knight, with one leg stretched out and the other crossed, leaning on her elbow and supporting her cheek, as if she was enduring boredom and passing the time by daydreaming.

This posture is definitely not the habit of godmother Bai Sujin. Godmother has a gentle and graceful temperament and wears white skirts all year round. She is used to sitting sideways with her legs tilted, so that it is not easy to expose herself and she looks like a lady with good upbringing.

My aunt's posture is usually seen in women of the world who wear trousers all year round. She doesn't have to worry about exposing herself, and she is not shy or restrained. She is graceful and heroic.

But now she was sitting like this, with her two delicate and slender snow-white legs exposed, and her beautiful and smooth soles of feet facing Chu Wuzhi.

He wanted to remind her, but he didn't dare to say anything, fearing that he would be looked down upon...

"Why are you hesitating about this instead of sleeping? Are you afraid that I will sneak away while you are sleeping?" Aunt Qing Snake noticed Chu Wuzhi's restlessness.

"Of course I'm worried about this. I always feel that my aunt will leave sooner or later... But that's not what I'm thinking about now. My mind is still a little confused."

Qingshe had already accepted her sister's godson in her heart, so she stopped saying harsh words. Her mind was actually very confused.

Since you have recognized Chu Wuzhi and think that this child is good, what's wrong with bringing him back to your sister?

But I just can't make a decisive decision right now...

Green Snake considers herself to be an impulsive and reckless person. Even the demons she has come into contact with have evaluated her in this way. She does things without thinking much and just acts on impulse. Who could have imagined that one day she would be entangled with contradictions?

She laughed self-deprecatingly.

Green Snake suddenly discovered that Chu Wuji had not fallen asleep yet, so she spoke curiously:

"How do you feel when you see me use magic to easily solve something you worked so hard to do?"

"Amazing, I admire you."

"Aren't you angry? Angry about Bai Sujin's concealment."

The green snake's eyes stared at him, and its tongue occasionally spit out to capture the scent of lies, trying to capture his true thoughts.

If Bai Sujin had shown her strength earlier, the mother and son could have lived an easier life of traveling in their early years and saved themselves a lot of trouble.

If she didn't use her magic power, the result would be like Chu Wuji just boiling water for her to soak her feet. It was a very simple thing, but it took a lot of effort.

No hardship, no suffering.

Chu Wuji put his hands behind his head, looked at the ceiling of the cave, listened to the crackling sound of the burning fire, and thought absentmindedly about the past ten years.

Scenes of spending time with my godmother flashed before my eyes.

"Aunt, I just recalled that my godmother must have secretly used magic, but she didn't let me know. Otherwise, I would have seen a ghost with my own eyes a long time ago."

Green Snake was silent for a moment. What she said was true. Her sister White Snake must have some magic to solve the problem in private.

"But what about your daily life? It's as if Bai Sujin deliberately wanted to see you busy at work, hiding the magic."

Chu Wuji examined his own state of mind. Even though he knew the truth that his godmother could cast spells, he still did not feel any hidden dissatisfaction in his heart, nor did he feel that he was being treated as an outsider and was being guarded against.

Because his godmother only concealed the fact that she knew magic from him, and did not deceive him about her love and care for him.

After thinking it over, he said:

"That's not so bad, because I enjoy it myself, and my mother works with me. She's always happy and satisfied when we cook and eat together. She must have a reason for hiding the magic.

If someone gives me some steamed buns to fill my stomach, that's already a favor. Should I harbor hatred just because they don't give me the deed to their house?

The green snake nodded with satisfaction, and felt relieved for her sister's efforts over the years. At least she didn't make the mistake again.

She hesitated for a moment and then asked:

"I once encountered something that I didn't know whether it was right or wrong from other people's perspectives."

"Aunt, you tell me, I'll help you think about it!"

Chu Wuji was happy to chat with her more, and couldn't wait to sit up and listen attentively.

But the woman suddenly frowned and said sternly, "Lie back down", so Chu Wuji had to lie down dejectedly.

Green Snake's gaze fell on the waterfall outside, and he recalled:

"Imagine a family where two sisters live together. They are kind and generous, and everyone in the village knows about their kindness. One day, a man comes to borrow money to gamble.

My sister couldn't stand it and refused to lend the money, but the man started to curse, thinking that you don't live up to the reputation. In the end, the two sides had an argument and a fight, and the matter was taken to the government..."

What she said was actually the original cause of the White Snake Temple incident.

A middle-aged gambler treated the White Snake Temple as a wishing pond, praying for blessings to win money in the casino. He lost all his wife's dowry and started cursing in front of the White Snake Temple.

How could Green Snake allow this idiot to make so much noise? So she beat him up and threw him away.

After that, a series of events occurred, such as the monks came to exorcise the demon, the people panicked, smashed the White Snake Temple, and the sister White Snake ran away sadly.

That year, after the White Snake went away to relax, the Green Snake thought and reflected for a long time alone.

A long time ago, the elder sister White Snake had advised her younger sister, saying that she acted too impulsively and did not consider the consequences at all.

After the sisters parted, Green Snake pondered this matter—

If I hadn't been so impulsive at the time and hadn't beaten that gambler, wouldn't the things that happened later have happened, and wouldn't my sister have been so sad?

Although it was the gambler who was wrong at the beginning, could it be that she, Qing Snake, blew the small matter out of proportion and made the trouble out of control?

There is gossip all day long, but if you don't listen, it will disappear.

If Green Snake had pretended not to hear and ignored the gambler, letting him leave when he got tired of cursing at the door, would there have been no subsequent situation?

But she really couldn't accept it. Just letting her sister be scolded for no reason?!

Qingshe really pondered this question for a long time.

For countless days and nights, Qingshe has been questioning herself, "Am I really wrong?"

The green snake's gaze shifted from the waterfall to Chu Wuji and asked:

"Chu Wuji, do you think the subsequent troubles were caused by that sister? Who is actually at fault?"

Chu Wuji didn't spend too much time considering his answer, and said almost subconsciously:

"What did this little sister do wrong? If someone scolded my mother, I would make the same decision and just take action. Why would I just listen to my mother being scolded?"
