The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

The old boatman turned the boat around and slowly approached the place Hua Chao pointed, the old man thought to himself.

"I don't know what this little girl saw that made her so excited. Did she see some treasure or something?"

When we got the boat closer, we saw the little girl leaning forward and actually picking up a green object from the water.

The old boatman was also quite frightened. He had been fishing for half his life, but when the little girl pointed there just now, he didn't see what was there. This little girl has good eyesight!

The old man couldn't help but look at Hua Chao carefully again. The little girl had a face like a peach blossom, a charming figure, and a faint and pure aura all over her body.

The little maidservant following beside her was also very beautiful and had extraordinary intelligence.

There is a clever little squirrel and a cute baby panda beside him.

No matter how you look at it, she is not a girl from an ordinary family. Maybe she is the daughter of a wealthy family who has come out to travel and enjoy the scenery.

He has seen a lot of the world, which is naturally far beyond the reach of an ordinary person like me.

Thinking of this, he dared not say anything more and just looked at the two little girls quietly.

Hua Chao stretched out her hand and picked up the thing she saw, only to find that it was a turtle tightly entangled in a bunch of water plants.

No one knew how long the turtle had been entangled there. When Hua Chao fished it out, it was already dying and motionless.

The tortoise shell was covered with water plants, and its four claws were limp and swaying. Its head was stretched out and drooped weakly.

"Oh! Is it dead?" Ling Mi exclaimed.

"No, you see its body is still moving slightly. It may be that the water plants have been entangled on its body for too long, and its body is stiff. Remove the water plants that are entangled on it, and it will get better."

Hua Chao said this and started to clear away the water plants wrapped around the turtle shell bit by bit.

"This is an Eastern Painted Turtle. It looks like it's at least a hundred years old!"

The old boatman exclaimed when he saw the turtle in Hua Chao's hand.

"Hahaha... a hundred-year-old turtle cannot be called an old turtle. In our place, it can only be considered a grandson of a turtle." Ling Mi smiled with the corner of her lips slightly raised.

This made the old boatman even more shocked. He opened his mouth wide and stared at Ling Mi, not daring to move.

Hua Chao felt something was wrong. He looked up and saw the boatman holding the oar tightly in his hand, standing at the bow with his mouth half open, staring straight at him and Ling Mi.

Knowing that Lingmi's words just now had frightened the boatman, he quickly glanced at Lingmi and explained.

"Ah! What my sister meant is that we grew up by the sea, and turtles this big are everywhere on our beach, so it's not uncommon."

Ling Mi was a little embarrassed. She said it carelessly and actually scared the old boatman so much that he dared not move. It was definitely not intentional.

"Oh! It's true that the seafood at our seaside is very big and colorful. Don't you know that, uncle?"

Ling Mi gently moved the dimple on her shoulder and tried her best to put on a sweet expression to make the old boatman feel more relaxed.

"Oh! ... So that's how it is! You two little girls shouldn't talk to people in a frightening way. It will scare people to death. If I wasn't so brave, I would have overturned the boat and escaped."

Hua Chao was also shocked when he heard this. Why are these mortals so timid? They want to kill and run away when something goes wrong.

Maomao ignored what they said. He shook his fat body and came to the old boatman.

She stretched out her paws, hugged the old boatman's legs and started to act coquettishly.

"嘤嘤...嘤嘤..."

In an instant, a smile broke out on the old boatman's stiff face, making his wrinkles even deeper.

"Hey! You little whiny bastard, are you hungry because you're holding my legs? Okay, okay, I'll row faster, and you'll have something delicious to eat when you get ashore!"

The old boatman reached out and picked up the panda cub, saying with a smile.

Hua Chao looked at Ling Mi next to him. The two smiled at each other. This little guy easily handled such an awkward situation.

"Ladies, please sit down. We are about to start walking!"

The old boatman put Maomao at his feet and shouted in a low voice.

The boat began to move slowly on the water again.

Hua Chao and Ling Mi sat on the boat and carefully cleaned the water plants wrapped around the turtle shell.

After washing the turtle, I looked at it again and found that it was indeed a very spiritual turtle. Its pair of green eyes rolled around and blinked at Hua Chao and Ling Mi.

The entire tortoise shell is emerald green and flashes with crystal clear light.

"Okay, old turtle, you're safe now. Hua Chao will let you go. In the future, remember not to play in the water plants again. If you get entangled again, your life will be in danger!"

Hua Chao pointed at the backpack and said to Ling Mi.

"Lingmi, check if there is any food in our backpack. Bring it over so I can feed it some, so it can recover its strength as soon as possible."

Ling Mi handed Hua Chao some cakes. Perhaps the turtle was really hungry and finished them in no time.

Hua Chao smiled and said, "It's ok, just eat a little, don't eat too much. You haven't eaten for many days, and eating too much is not good for you. Go home and eat."

As he said this, he gently put the turtle into the water, only to see that the turtle did not disappear as soon as it entered the water.

Instead, it poked its little turtle head out of the water and looked at Hua Chao and Ling Mi.

"Wow! This turtle is really smart. It doesn't run away quickly after entering the water. Instead, it sticks its head out to look around and watch. It's really amazing!" exclaimed the old boatman.

"Hehe! Maybe he's been entangled in the waterweed for too long, and now that he's been rescued and had a delicious meal, he can't bear to part with the snacks in our hands!"

Ling Mi smiled lightly and threw a piece of cake in her hand to the turtle in the river.

When Maomao saw the pastries in Lingmi's hand, he shook his big head and came over, rubbing his wet little nose on Lingmi's hand.

"You're greedy too! Wait, I'll get it for you right away!"

"Lingmi is still too young, don't feed it too many cakes. Those things are hard to digest, and it will be troublesome if it gets an upset stomach."

"Oh! Got it! Just give it a little bit."

Lingmi broke off a small piece and fed it to Maomao, and also fed some to Xiaowo.

"Hey! You two little girls are really interesting. The animals you feed are so smart. Look at them. They are more obedient and cuter than ordinary children!"

The old boatman couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

On the calm river, the old boatman sang this tune and gently rowed the boat.

There were two fairy-like beautiful girls sitting on the boat, a black and white panda cub was quietly beside them, and a little squirrel was jumping up and down non-stop.

Why!……

Hey, little sister! ...

You sit at the bow! ...

Don't be afraid! ...

Don't panic! ...

My dear lover!

Look at the shore! ...

My dear brother!

Wait for me! ...

Hey, little sister! ...

Coming soon! ...

The old boatman sang a tune loudly, and his voice echoed far away on the river.
