The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Chapter 225 Anxious Huo Ling'er

Hua Chao and Ling Mi fought fiercely with the big-mouthed crows in the canyon of the Cliff of Broken Souls, and soon killed a group of crows.

One pen cannot speak two languages...

On this side, Huo Linger looked at her godmother and aunt who were getting farther and farther away.

I couldn't help feeling a little worried, but my godfather and Maomao were both seriously injured behind me.

They need someone to protect them more.

No matter how worried I was about my godmother's safety, I could only watch their backs silently until they disappeared at the end of the path before returning to the house.

The already dim little house now seemed even quieter.

There was no other sound in the room except Maomao's rapid breathing.

Huo Linger walked slowly to Maomao and gently stroked its soft fur.

Maomao's huge body looked so helpless and weak at this moment.

The heavy and rapid breathing made its body appear to be heaving violently.

He seems to be in very uncomfortable condition. Could it be that he was seriously injured somewhere?

Huo Linger walked around Maomao and carefully observed every inch of its fur.

I want to find the injured area so that I can help relieve some of the pain.

But even though Huo Ling'er searched around Maomao twice, she didn't see any injuries.

There wasn't even a scratch.

Huo Linger stroked Maomao lovingly and comforted him softly.

"Don't be afraid, Maomao. Godmother is going to look for the ghost grass. As long as we find the ghost grass, you and godfather will be fine. Just bear with it for a while."

But Maomao, who was lying on the ground dying, did not react at all, and his heavy breathing became more and more rapid.

Huo Linger looked at Maomao's uncomfortable expression, and tears rolled down his fur.

Suddenly he realized that his godfather, who was lying in the inner room, had not moved for a long time, and he stood up quickly.

"Maomao... I'm going to go see my godfather... I wonder how he is doing now."

The little guy took a few steps into the house, but saw in the dim room, there was only a little cat wagging its big tail, lying quietly beside its godfather's pillow.

When he noticed that I had come in, he just looked up and then turned his head to stare at Yang Shilin lying on the bed.

Huo Linger tiptoed to the wooden bed and looked at her godfather's face carefully.

Although it was dark in the room, I could tell that my godfather's expression was even uglier than before.

His breathing was also becoming more and more rapid, and his lips were pale and bloodless.

His eye sockets were sunken and his face was slightly dark.

"Godfather... Godfather..."

Huo Linger called out softly, but received no response.

In the past, as long as you called him godfather, you would get a response no matter where you were as long as he was there.

It was this tall and handsome man in front of him who made him experience the fatherly love he had never had before.

Ever since I can remember, I didn’t know what a father was, let alone what it felt like to be cared for.

That night, two fairy-like women and a god-like man.

Quietly walked into his life and pulled him, his mother and his sister out of the abyss of pain.

No one in the entire Mengbao Town was willing to help the mother and her two children.

The people in the town were considered very kind not to bully them, mother and two of them.

In order to get a little food to avoid starving to death, I don’t know how many beatings I received and how many cold stares I received.

Even his brothers and sisters would come to humiliate him from time to time.

I am young and have no skills, so I can only endure it.

I was forced to crawl through my brother's crotch and was stepped on as their riding stool.

Even none of his sisters were kind to him.

For the sake of my sister and mother, I swallowed all the humiliation.

Just to save the lives of my mother and sister.

The two of them are Huo Ling'er's only hope to live in this world.

For the sake of my mother and sister, I can endure anything and suffer any hardship.

But in the end, I still couldn't protect them.

He didn't even get to see his mother and sister for the last time. Not a trace of their bodies remained, having been eaten clean by wild wolves in the mountains.

That day he went to Hushan in Menbao Town alone and searched all over the mountain, but he did not find a single hair or piece of cloth.

I was alone in the wolf den in the desolate back mountain, crying for no one knew how long.

Until finally he was awakened by the shrill howling of wolves. Strangely enough, the wolves did not attack him.

Logically speaking, a small body cannot cause any harm to a wolf pack.

But the wild wolves seemed very scared. They just peeked from a distance and did not dare to approach.

At that time, I really hoped that they would rush over. I would kill ten or eight of them even at the risk of my life.

It can also help my mother and sister to relieve their resentment.

But the wild wolves just circled around him from a distance and did not come close.

After a long stalemate, he had no choice but to return to the shabby house where he and his mother had lived.

Later, it was his godfather who found him in the dilapidated house, carried him on his shoulders, and led him out of the darkness that he thought he would never get out of.

There is also that page where I sit on the shoulders of my tall godfather and experience a fatherly love that I have never experienced before.

At that moment, Huo Linger felt that she was the happiest child in the world.

Having such a handsome godfather and such a kind and beautiful godmother.

Sitting on her godfather's shoulder, Huo Linger swore a vow to herself.

I must repay my godfather's kindness in this lifetime, even if it means sacrificing my own life.

But now, looking at my godfather lying on the bed, he was weak and his life was hanging by a thread.

I could only watch him suffer, but I had no way to deal with it.

If she could take his place, Huo Linger would rather suffer the pain ten thousand times more.

Let this child bear all the pain. Huo Linger reached out and held his godfather's big, rough hand.

But I felt that those hands, which were usually as warm as spring, were now as cold as a piece of stone.

Feeling flustered, Huo Linger stood up and looked around the cabin.

There was nothing in the small wooden house except a bed.

It doesn't look like a house that anyone lives in. It must be an uninhabited wooden house that the villagers found temporarily.

The house of my grandfather over there is not big. My grandparents have passed away and they are still preparing for the funeral.

Where is there a place for godfather and Maomao to rest in peace?

We can only temporarily settle them here, but such a simple arrangement is really not a solution.

At least I have to find something to make some white porridge for my godfather, or at least get some rice soup into him.

Maybe godfather will get better, the little guy thought and stopped hesitating.

I patted Xiaowo's head gently, leaned close to its ear and whispered softly.

"Xiaowo! You stay here and take good care of godfather and Maomao. I'll go get some rice from the villagers and cook some porridge for godfather. Maybe godfather will get better after drinking some rice porridge."

Xiaowo seemed to understand and wagged his big tail.

"Hissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss..."

Huo Linger said as she walked out of the wooden house and rushed towards the Shelong Village without looking back...
