The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Suddenly, Lingmi saw a bamboo basket carried by an old man. In the basket were various wild herbs. Lingmi had been practicing in the mountains since she was a child, so she was very familiar with these flowers and plants. She knew that these were all top-quality Chinese herbal medicines.

Then he followed the old man to see where he would carry these wild herbs.

For a moment, he forgot to ask Hua Chao to follow him and just followed him all the way. However, he saw the old man come to a Chinese medicine shop, walk straight into it, and when the old man came out a while later, he actually had a lot of copper coins in his hand.

Ling Mi was extremely surprised and looked at the copper coin in the old man's hand curiously and asked, "Grandpa, did you exchange this money for those herbs just now?"

The old man looked at the pretty girl in front of him, who had followed him all the way.

The old man has spent his entire life searching for medicinal herbs in the mountains, and his eyesight is beyond the reach of ordinary mortals. As soon as the old man arrived at the market, he discovered that there were two extraordinary little girls wandering among the surging crowd in this mortal world. The aura around them showed that they were not ordinary strangers, but he did not dare to ask too much and just went about his own business.

Unexpectedly, when I walked out of the pharmacy, that extraordinary young woman came up to me and asked me questions, which really scared me.

"Little girl, I didn't hear you wrongly, didn't I? Little girl, don't you know that this herb can be exchanged for money?"

"Grandpa, to be honest, I really have no other choice. I am penniless now. Even eating has become a problem. So I want to find a job that can earn some money. Hehe."

"Oh! So that's how it is! Then I will speak well for you, young lady." The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile.

…………

Lingmi looked at the old man walking away from afar and couldn't help thinking, it turns out there are kind people in this world!

It was not until the old man walked away that Ling Mi remembered to look for her sister Hua Chao. However, it was impossible to find Hua Chao again. When she saw the old man, her sister Hua Chao was right beside her. Then she followed the old man and didn't care where her sister went.

Now she couldn't find Hua Chao anymore. Ling Mi was panicked. After leaving the thatched hut, she didn't care which direction the two of them went!

"elder sister!…………"

Ling Mi stood in the street and shouted loudly in panic.

Seeing that Hua Chao was not found after shouting for a long time, Ling Mi hurriedly turned back to continue looking.

Fortunately, Hua Chao was alert and went all the way to look for Ling Mi after discovering that Ling Mi was missing, and happened to meet Ling Mi face to face.

"Lingmi, where have you been? Do you want to scare me to death?" Hua Chao pulled Lingmi into his arms and accused.

"Sister! Wuwu... I was so scared, I thought I would never see you again, wuwu..."

"You! You are such a jerk. You disappeared without a trace when I wasn't paying attention. What on earth were you doing?"

"Hehe! ...Sister, I found a way to make money!"

Hua Chao reached out and touched Ling Mi's forehead: "You don't have a fever, do you? How come you said you found a way to make money after not seeing you for a while?"

"Oh! Sister. I just saw an old man carrying a basket of herbs he dug from the mountain and delivering it to the medicine shop over there. When he came out, he had a big bag of silver. You know. Ling Mi has been practicing in the mountains since he was a child. He has seen all kinds of herbs. Isn't this the best way to make money?"

Hua Chao looked at Ling Mi in surprise: "Oh, my dear sister, how can you be so smart!"

"Then let's take action. Let's go to the mountain we climbed a few days ago to look for it!" Ling Mi said as she pulled Hua Chao towards the mountain they had just climbed a few days ago.

Soon Hua Chao and Ling Mi found a lot of medicinal herbs in the mountains. When it comes to finding medicinal herbs, Ling Mi is very familiar with it. She knows exactly what kind of medicinal herbs like to grow in what place, and she can find them right away.

The two of them dug up a lot of medicinal herbs in a short time.

"Ling Mi, Ling Mi, you are really my lucky star. If it weren't for you this time, I really don't know what to do."

Hua Chao hugged Ling Mi's neck and rocked her intimately.

"Hehe... I don't know how much silver these herbs can be exchanged for, we should hurry down the mountain to exchange some money and get some food, Lingmi is also very hungry."

"Okay, let's go down the mountain now."

…………

Standing in the street, Hua Chao looked at the two taels of silver in her hand again and again. This was the first time that the two of them had earned money with their own strength.

"Ling Mi, take a look at this silver. Isn't it better looking than what the wise man gave us?"

"Haha... Sister, how can the same silver be more beautiful than the other?"

"This money is different from the previous one. This is what we earned ourselves, which means that from now on, the two of us will no longer be hungry!"

"What my sister said is true, but one tael is a little too little. If I go up the mountain again tomorrow, I will definitely find more Lingmi and exchange it for more money."

"Not much to say, let's go eat something now. There will be too many places to spend money in the future, and we need to plan how to spend it. We can't spend it carelessly like before. It's not easy to earn small change in the mortal world!"

"Hehe... Lingmi took note of what my sister said!"

Hua Chao and Ling Mi stayed in Longyin Town for several days. On the one hand, they were more or less familiar with the place, and it was more convenient for them to go up the mountain to collect herbs and exchange them for silver.

If you stay a few more days, you can save more money and continue to look for Yang Shilin.

However, the two of them still lived in that thatched hut and were reluctant to look for an inn to stay in, so as to save some money.

Seeing that they had saved up some money, the two of them were busy all day and would only go to the thatched hut to rest when night fell.

After packing up, Hua Chao said, "Ling Mi, let's set off tomorrow. We have enough money to last for a while now, so there's no need to stay here any longer."

"Okay, I also think today that we should move on. Although Longyin Town is easy to make money, we have been here for quite a few days. If we stay any longer, how long will it take to find Yang Shilin?"

"Boom boom..."

Suddenly there was lightning and thunder outside, and it was about to rain.

"It looks like it's going to rain heavily soon, so let's get some rest so we can set off early tomorrow."

There were flashes of lightning and thunder in the night, lighting up the thatched hut as bright as day.

After running on the mountain road all day, Hua Chao and Ling Mi fell asleep quickly even in the wind and rain.

"Crack...knock..."

A flash of lightning illuminated the thatched hut in an eerie way.

"Huh...huh..."

A gust of cold wind blew through the room, blowing Hua Chao's clothes hanging on the head of the bed to the ground.

“Sister Hana Chao! …Wake up quickly…!”

Hua Chao heard a shrill and eerie voice in a daze. The voice instantly made Hua Chao's hair stand on end and he shivered.
