The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Hua Chao and Ling Mi were playing and fighting in the Acacia Pond. The two of them dived to the bottom of the pond and did not appear for a long time.

At this moment, a handsome young hunter suddenly appeared from the woods beside Acacia Pond.

This hunter was none other than Yang Shilin, whom Hua Chao was looking for. Although he had not been able to return home after hunting in the mountains for several days, he had returned with a full load this time. Today he had gone to the town specifically to exchange the prey for silver, and then went to the tavern to have some drinks to comfort himself.

I hurried all the way hoping to get home early so I could rest for a few days. This time I've been away for almost half a month and I really feel a little tired.

Yang Shilin walked out of the wine shop only after he had eaten and drunk his fill. He drank too much wine and ate a lot of meat today, so he felt dizzy and his legs were weak.

He knew that he had drunk a little too much today, but he was in a great mood, feeling euphoric all the way. Touching the pocket full of silver, Yang Shilin couldn't help humming a little tune.

Now he is alone, he feeds his family and he lives a carefree life.

It’s just that the women in the village always act coquettishly and flirtatiously in front of me, and appear in my sight from time to time.

What’s even more infuriating is those so-called ladies from wealthy families who shamelessly beg matchmakers to come to their homes and let them marry into their families’ families.

They all looked mean, ugly and vulgar, so how could Yang Shilin possibly take a second look at them?

A figure had already taken up residence in his heart six years ago. That pretty and delicate face was still so delicate and beautiful even when it was burned in the fire.

I only remember that when I first saw the face in the painting at the market, I felt as if I was electrocuted at my heart at just one glance.

The girl in the painting is so familiar, as if I have been with her for a very long time and know the smell of every hair on her body.

I understand how much reluctance and concern are in the eyes of the woman in the painting when she looks at me. She just looks at me quietly in the painting, as if she has been waiting for me there for a long, long time...

I only hope that one day I can be reunited with Yang Shilin, so that they can renew their past relationship, love each other without doubt, and spend every day together until they grow old.

She just waited for him, Yang Shilin, eagerly. She didn't know how long she had been holding the flower basket in her hand. She didn't know if the basket was heavy, whether there were burrs on it, and whether it would scratch her.

He stared at her stupidly until he came to his senses when he heard the calligraphy and painting master calling him.

Unfortunately, he was penniless and could not take her home, so he just wanted to chop some firewood the next day so that he could discuss the purchase of the painting with the calligraphy and painting master.

When Yang Shilin heard the calligraphy and painting master say that he could exchange his firewood for the painting and get a bowl of rice as well, he was so happy that he felt like flying.

Although Yang Shilin was frightened when he found that the lady in the painting was moving by the river, he still couldn't bear to leave the girl in the painting alone by the river to be exposed to the wind and sun.

He bravely took the painting of the lady home and hung it above his bed so that he could be close to the girl in the painting.

While reading that night, I vaguely remembered that the girl in the painting gently woke me up, but when I was doubtful, I lost my memory.

When I woke up again later, I found that I had grown up a lot.

When he woke up, the elders of the village were standing in front of his bed, and outside the house, the villagers were holding torches and attacking him, saying that they wanted to burn him to death.

His blind mother exclaimed overnight that her eye disease had been cured and she could see again.

Before he could figure out what was going on, the villagers began throwing torches into his thatched hut.

The flames instantly engulfed his small home, and he dragged his mother out of the sea of ​​fire. However, the villagers outside the house were still unyielding and tied him and his elderly mother tightly.

They also kept saying that they wanted to disembowel him as a sacrifice to the eight people who died tragically in the village. No matter how Yang Shilin explained, the villagers just didn't believe him.

At that time, I was just a weak scholar, unable to even tie a chicken. After just a few moves, I felt dizzy and was about to faint.

At this critical moment, when his eyes were blurry and dazed, he saw a fairy descending from the sky, as if asking the villagers to let her go.

But unfortunately, his weak body prevented him from seeing the fairy clearly and he died.

When he woke up again, he found himself tied up on the village altar, with another altar next to him that was even bigger than his own.

When he looked carefully, he found that it was the girl in the painting of ladies hanging in his home.

The girl he loved so much was tied to the altar and humiliated by the villagers, but he was helpless and could only watch.

Even though he tried his best to stop it, Yang Shilin at that time could only watch and could not rush over to help his girl reduce the harm.

Watching the evil spirit harassing his girl, he could only shout for the evil spirit to come over, hoping to relieve his girl's panic.

But he didn't expect that his useless body would faint again in a flash.

When I woke up again, I found myself lying alone beside the Acacia Pond.

I don’t know where my mother is, but she is still alive.

He didn't even know what had happened to the girl he had been thinking about, why he was here, and what place was this!

Sitting beside this deep pool, Yang Shilin was only thinking about jumping into it, so that he could end his useless scholar body.

I only hate myself for having such a weak body that I can neither save the girl I like nor my elderly mother.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and Yang Shilin really jumped into the pool.

But before his body touched the water, he returned to the shore. Without thinking, he jumped into the deep pool again.

But this time, it didn't even touch the water.

All the bad luck happened to Yang Shilin, and he couldn't die even if he wanted to.

Just when I was feeling depressed, I heard someone chuckling.

"Young man, you are not afraid of death, so why are you afraid of living? Only by living well can you see the person you want to see. Don't worry, one day, the Sixth Princess of Jinghe will find you, and you will see the person you want to see."

Yang Shilin raised his eyes to look for the source of the sound, and saw a handsome immortal with a youthful appearance but white hair and a childlike face standing on the other side of Acacia Lake, gently waving a whisk in his hand.

A pair of affectionate eyes looked at him with a smile, and his eyes were full of kind love.

Yang Shilin's heart suddenly calmed down, and he was no longer anxious and annoyed.

"Is what the Immortal said true?"

"Of course, of course! Young Master Yang, just live well and wait patiently. One day you will meet each other. How can you belittle yourself like this when your relationship is not over?"

After hearing this, Yang Shilin stopped asking questions, knowing that this immortal with a sage-like deity would not lie to him.

Then he knelt on his knees and bowed his head in worship.

When he stood up again, the immortal opposite him had disappeared, and only his hearty laughter could be heard in the forest.

"Hahahaha... Yang Shilin, you have to live well this time!..."
