The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

"Sister, Xiaohong is really pitiful. By doing this, you can help her without delaying our trip. It's really the best of both worlds. My sister is so smart!" Ling Mi gave a thumbs up and praised.

"No matter what, I have done what I should and shouldn't do. Whether Xiaohong's resentment can be resolved depends on the ability of her family. Now let's do what we should do and get on the road quickly!"

The two packed up their things and set off again.

.........

The journey was dangerous and windy, and the sun was shining. Hua Chao and Ling Mi kept asking about Yang Shilin's whereabouts along the way. However, finding someone in such a vast sea of ​​people was as easy as looking for a needle in a haystack.

The two of them had been wandering around for half a month, but there was still no news about Yang Shilin. Seeing that the silver in his hands was running out, if he didn't find a way to get some silver, he would soon have to sleep on the street, and Hua Chao was extremely anxious.

On this day, Hua Chao and Ling Mi came to Longyin Town, which is a relatively large town. When Hua Chao and Ling Mi entered Longyin Town, they saw the bustling crowds on the streets, which was very lively.

"Look! This Longyin Town is quite lively. There are so many people here. Maybe we can find out the whereabouts of Yang Shilin."

As soon as Ling Mi entered the gate of Longyin Town and saw the bustling crowd, she took out Yang Shilin's portrait, stopped a young man and asked.

"Young man, I want to ask you about someone. Have you ever seen this person? His name is Young Master Yang Shilin."

"No! No."

"Auntie, have you seen this man? He is very handsome."

"I have never seen it before! ..."

…………

Hua Chao looked at Ling Mi who was looking around and couldn't help feeling a little distressed for her. They had been looking for Yang Shilin for more than half a month. The two of them had been on the road every day. Although they were exhausted and uncomfortable, they would fall asleep as soon as their heads touched the pillow every day. But there was still no news of Yang Shilin. If they continued to look for him like this, who knew how long it would take. Since there was no way to find him for the time being, they might as well find a place to have a good rest for a day.

Besides, the silver in his hands is almost used up. This is the most troublesome thing for Hua Chao. How can he find some silver?

"Lingmi, come back first! Let's find an inn to rest first. You don't have to be so anxious to find out the news." Hua Chao greeted Lingmi who was still busy.

"Hey, here comes sister!"

"This Longyin Town is quite large, and we can't find everything in a short time. We have been walking for half a month. Why don't we find a good inn today, rest for a day or two, and then go find Yang Shilin."

"Well, that's great. Lingmi can go out and have a good look around Longyin Town today, without having to carry the portrait around and ask around!"

"You!... You really make people love and hate you!" Hua Chao gently scratched Lingmi's small and delicate nose.

In the inn, Hua Chao and Ling Mi put away the belongings they had with them, ate something casually, and then went out with Yang Shilin's portrait.

Hua Chao went out today, thinking of observing how the mortals in the world solve the problem of earning money. She never expected that she, the daughter of the god of the Jing River, would one day worry about how to survive.

Coming to the bustling market, Hua Chao observed the various aspects of human life so seriously for the first time. In the past, he was only focused on finding Yang Shilin and had no time to observe the various aspects of human life.

So far, Huachao has no way to learn how to run those big stores, but she can try some easier jobs.

Buying cloth seems like a good idea, but nowadays I have to travel all the time and I can’t carry cloth around with me.

The snack vendor looked good, but Hua Chao could only eat the food but not cook it, so she was helpless.

Suddenly, they saw a wine shop, which was quite interesting. Hua Chao walked in with interest.

"How's your wine, waiter?"

A thin waiter in the store saw two beautiful ladies coming into the store and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them: "My wine is famous in the four villages. Miss Jiuxiang Youchang, would you like to try it?"

The waiter handed Hua Chao a small glass of wine and looked the beautiful girl up and down with his rat eyes.

"Miss, please..."

The shop owner looked at the two beauties in front of him with anticipation. It was the first time since the shop opened that he saw beautiful women coming into the store to buy wine, which was also very rare.

"Haha, this is the first time I see a young girl going into a wine shop to buy wine. Today really opens my eyes." The shop owner thought to himself.

Hua Chao took a sip of the wine, only to find it bitter and hard to swallow.

"Cough cough... It's too choking. Boss, is this wine for human consumption? Why is it so hard to swallow?" Before Hua Chao could even speak, Ling Mi choked and started coughing after taking a sip of the wine.

"Hey! What are you talking about, little girl? If you can't drink, don't come in. You can't drink good wine, but you come to me and talk nonsense!"

The shopkeeper was unhappy when he heard this, and was so angry that he reached out to push Ling Mi.

Seeing this, Hua Chao hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Ling Mi away to protect herself behind her.

"Old shopkeeper, she is a young girl who has never seen the world. Please don't bother with her. I will apologize to you on her behalf." As she said this, she bowed.

"Go away, go away. It's unlucky to come here so early in the morning. Go out and play somewhere else." The shopkeeper waved his sleeves in disdain and ignored Hua Chao.

"You...you old man..." Ling Mi was so angry that she put her hands on her waist and was about to curse again.

Hua Chao turned around and looked directly at Ling Mi: "Ling Mi, stop being willful and stop making trouble."

He reached out and pulled the still angry Ling Mi out of the wine shop.

"Lingmi, why can't you control your temper? We are unfamiliar with this place, we can't just act recklessly."

"Sister, his wine doesn't taste good to begin with, why don't you let me say anything? Let him try my Chaohua Honey Wine, and he will know what good wine is."

"Lingmi, what is this place? Don't you know? You and I are no longer the same as we were before in the mortal world. Alas!..."

Hua Chao felt a pang in her heart, and her eyes were already filled with stars.

Seeing that Hua Chao was in tears, Ling Mi realized that it was her willfulness that made her sister unhappy, so she hurried forward to support Hua Chao.

"Sister, don't be angry, it's all Ling Mi's fault."

Hua Chao smiled tearfully, "It's not your fault, but you and I have been looking for Yang Shilin for some time, and there is still no news. I am very anxious. If this continues, the silver in our hands will soon be used up. I don't know how we can earn some silver by then. I came out today to see if there is any way to make some money."

"Ah!... I see. I was wondering why my sister suddenly went to the wine shop today."

"Alas!... Even though the wine shop business is good, you and I cannot make good wine now, so it's all in vain!" Hua Chao patted Lingmi's hand and sighed softly.

"Then let's look at other options, see if there's anything easier."

"That's all we can do for now."

Hua Chao and Ling Mi could only stroll around Longyin Town and look carefully for a job that could earn them some money.

"Don't say anything more. It's only natural to pay back your debts. If you don't have money, just hand it over to the person!"

Suddenly, a man's loud shout came into Hua Chao's ears.
