The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Xiaohong, who was filled with resentment and did not want to be reincarnated, became a wandering ghost. Three years have passed since then.

After listening to what Xiaohong said, Hua Chao felt very sympathetic towards her situation, but what could he do? He was just an ordinary stranger now and had no ability to help others.

Youyou Yuanyuan's crying continued intermittently throughout the whole night. In the end, Hua Chao was so tired that he fell asleep in a daze.

The early morning light shone into the dilapidated temple. When Hua Chao opened his eyes and looked again, the female ghost had disappeared.

The two of them immediately got up, washed, and hurried down the mountain. Walking during the day was much faster than at night, and they arrived at the foot of the mountain in a short while.

Hua Chao and Ling Mi were in the village at the foot of the mountain, holding the portrait to inquire about Yang Shilin's whereabouts, but unfortunately no one had ever seen Yang Shilin.

The village at the foot of the mountain is Xiaohong’s hometown, a small village surrounded by green mountains and clear waters.

As the night was approaching, Hua Chao and Ling Mi still hadn't heard any news, so they had no choice but to find an inn to stay for the night.

"Sister, I can finally sleep peacefully tonight. You didn't sleep well the whole night last night."

"I didn't dare tell you what happened last night, but now I'm telling you, so don't be afraid."

…………

Ling Mi was so shocked that her mouth opened wide after hearing this.

"Ah!... It's really scary. You are really brave, sister. But we both transformed into human form at the same time. Why can you see those things but I can't?"

"It may be because I have the 'Nine-Ring Spirit Stone' in my body. But how can this spirit stone give me this kind of ability? Can't it be replaced with other better abilities? Alas!..." Hua Chao sighed helplessly.

"Sister, Xiaohong is so pitiful. How about we help her?" Xiao Lingmi suddenly turned around and looked at Hua Chao.

Hua Chao shook his head gently and sighed softly: "Ling Mi, if it were me in the past, I would help her without hesitation when encountering such a thing, but now you and I are different from the past. We don't have any spiritual power, so how can we take care of those trivial matters? If we are not careful, we will get into trouble and we will be in danger."

"Sister is right. Ling Mi was not thoughtful enough. Our most important thing now is to find Young Master Yang. It's better not to worry about other trivial matters!"

"Well!... It's still early now. Let's go out and ask after dinner. What if someone has seen Young Master Yang?" Hua Chao looked out the window and saw that it was still early, so he thought about going out and looking for a while.

The two sisters went from house to house to inquire about Yang Shilin's whereabouts. As dusk fell, they still had no news of Yang Shilin, so they had to return to the inn to rest.

I had only walked a few steps back when I saw a house's door creak open.

A woman came out with a basin of sacrificial food and burned paper for her deceased family member. After burning the paper, the woman turned around and went back into her yard.

But then several wandering ghosts came and fought for the small plate of sacrificial food. A familiar ghost figure fell into Hua Chao's eyes.

Poor Xiaohong was so thin that she couldn't compete with those hungry ghosts at all. Not only did she fail to get any tribute, she was also beaten by those little ghosts until her head was bleeding.

Hua Chao looked at the poor Xiaohong and felt a little bit sorry for her. She stared blankly at the hungry ghosts fighting for food.

"Sister, what are you doing? Why are you standing there looking at something while you are walking?" Ling Mi saw Hua Chao standing there motionless, and ran over hurriedly to ask.

"Oh! I saw someone coming out of that house, so I thought about going over to ask, but they were holding a memorial ceremony for their deceased family member, so I didn't dare to go up and ask."

"Oh! Then let's go back to the inn. It's getting late. Let's go back and have some rest. We'll go to the next place tomorrow."

Hua Chao turned around and left with a cruel heart. No matter how heartbroken he was, he really had no ability to help Xiaohong now.

In the inn, the moonlight was shining softly on Hua Chao and Ling Mi's bed as they gradually fell asleep.

"Miss,...Miss, wake up, I'm Xiaohong!..."

Youyou Yuanyuan's crying voice reached Hua Chao's ears again, and Hua Chao woke up instantly.

It seemed that this guy noticed that he was staring blankly at the door of that house tonight, watching her snatching food, and realized that it might be inappropriate to ignore her.

Hua Chao got up, opened the window, and looked quietly at the bright moon outside.

Xiaohong floated closer to Huachao, and a faint voice rang out: "Miss, are you listening to me? Can you see me?"

Hua Chao turned around and looked directly into Xiao Hong's eyes.

"Xiaohong, please don't wake my sister. Just tell me what you want to say. I just got here and I'm unfamiliar with the place. I can't help you much. I can only help you tell your parents and family what you said. The rest can only be solved by your family. We will leave here tomorrow. Tell me where your home is, where you are buried, and who hurt you. I will write a letter and leave it at your door. This is all I can do for you. Do you think it's feasible?"

"Thank you, benefactor! This is very good!"

Xiaohong bowed and said, "I have been hiding for three years, hoping that one day my family can avenge me. I have no way to repay you for your kindness. I am willing to work like a cow or a horse to repay you in my next life."

"Please stand up quickly. Don't talk about whether I will repay you or not. I just think you are too pitiful. But you can't let others know what I said today, otherwise I will have a lot of trouble in the future, you know!"

"Don't worry, benefactor. Xiaohong knows."

Hua Chao came to the desk, opened the paper, ink, brush and inkstone, and wrote carefully, while Xiao Hong stood beside him and told the story.

…………

The next morning, Hua Chao got up early: "Ling Mi, you and I have to go out early today, you get ready here, I'll be back soon."

"Where are you going, sister? Why are you up so early?" Ling Mi rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at the dawn outside the window.

"I have some things to do outside. You can sleep for a while. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, she ignored Ling Mi who was calling her to wait for her and walked out.

Following Xiaohong's instructions, Hua Chao soon found her home. After looking around and not seeing anyone, he walked towards Xiaohong's home.

When he passed by Xiaohong's house, he saw that there was no one around, so he quickly stuffed the letter into her door, turned around and left in a hurry.

When we returned to the inn, Lingmi also got up and prepared the meal.

"Sister, where have you been so early in the morning? The faster you leave, the faster you will come back." Ling Mi asked unhappily when she saw Hua Chao coming in.

Hua Chao washed her hands and looked at the breakfast in front of her, feeling a little hungry.

"My Ling Mi knows what I like to eat. Come on, let's eat quickly."

Hua Chao took a sip of millet porridge with a small spoon and said lightly: "Ling Mi, don't look at me like that, you eat too, and I will explain it to you in detail."
