"Wu Zhu sure runs her mouth," guessed Chen Shi inwardly. "Grandpa wouldn't like that.
It's better to burn incense for Granny Yu Zhu in Grandpa's memory."
When he returned home, Hu Feifei had already served the dishes. As he reached for the chopsticks, she slapped the back of his hand and pursed her lips, "Go wash your hands! You too! And you!"
Chen Shi took Nannan and Black Pot obediently to wash their hands, then turned and said, "This afternoon, I'll take Nannan to visit Xuan Shan and Mrs. Zhuang and let her get to know the spirits in the mountains, so she won't run around randomly."
Hu Feifei said, "Bring more incense."
"Got it."
That afternoon, Chen Shi took Nannan out first to pay respects to his godmother and Zhu Xiucai, then to his grandfather's grave where he burned several paper effigies of young women for him.
They arrived at Xuan Shan and saw the Great Snake.
