The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Chapter 196 1 Everything depends on yourself

The villagers were preparing to carry a few people back to the village.

Matchmaker Wang jumped out, shaking her fat body, to stop them.

"These people are traitors to the court. And those two little witches are transformed by fox spirits. If we bring them back to the village, hundreds of people in our village will have to be buried with them."

The thick lips on the face full of flesh make people want to vomit when they see them opening and closing.

She stood with her hands on her hips and looked so aggressive that Lingmi wanted to rush over and slap her twice.

But I only saw Uncle Zhang beside me rushing over.

"Papa...papa..."

He raised his hand and slapped the fat man on the face a few times.

The guy who was slapped back and forth repeatedly, but he didn't dare to resist and just covered his face and muttered.

"Old man, why are you hitting me? I'm doing this for the good of the villagers!"

Uncle Zhang spat fiercely.

"Bah... you ugly woman. Do you really think we don't know what you did tonight? I haven't had time to settle accounts with you yet, but you jumped out and made a fuss here."

Matchmaker Wang moved her fat body and quietly retreated backwards.

"I... I just hid at home tonight. I didn't do anything... I didn't do anything..."

Someone in the crowd shouted angrily.

"You bastard, you didn't do anything. All of us villagers were brought here just now. How come your family is nowhere to be seen? Where did you all go?!"

"Could it be that the officers and soldiers only left your family behind? No one in the village can escape this capture."

Someone pushed Matchmaker Wang angrily.

"They even captured the entire family of Master Zhou's daughter who was married off. His daughter lived so far away from here. If someone who knew her well hadn't told the soldiers, how would they know where Master Zhou's daughter lived?"

Matchmaker Wang's eyes rolled around and she forced a smile on her greasy face.

"That's right, who was the one with the worst heart who told the Wang family about this? They are so evil!"

He pointed his thick finger at the crowd.

"Tell me who did this good deed..."

Uncle Zhang kicked Matchmaker Wang.

"Stop pretending to be a good person. Everyone knows what you have done. Go back and pack your things. Get out of Xilong Village with your whole family."

"From tonight onwards, your family is not allowed to stay in the village."

"roll……"

"Get out of here..."

"We don't need heartless bastards like you..."

"The elders of this village must not have died in vain. It was all because of your bad idea that you almost killed the whole village!"

…………

Everyone was talking at once and criticizing Matchmaker Wang, but she didn't dare to say a word. She lowered her head and moved her feet, wanting to run away.

Someone picked up a small stone and threw it over, hitting the fat woman.

Uncle Zhang shouted sternly.

"Hurry up and get out! Before we go back, you and your family must leave our Xilong Village, otherwise we will settle all the old and new accounts together."

The villagers threw the things in their hands at the fat woman.

"Get out! Get out now!"

"We don't welcome people like your family to be our fellow villagers!"

…………

Matchmaker Wang shook her fat body, not daring to stay any longer, and ran towards the village.

The villagers watched the fat woman running farther and farther away, then they lifted up the person lying on the wooden board and prepared to go back.

"Miss Lingmi, let's go back now."

Ling Mi bowed and saluted.

"Uncle Zhang, I'll leave my sister and brother Yang to you."

The villagers and Lingmi waved goodbye.

After everyone had gone far away, Ling Mi turned around to look at Huo Linger who was sitting cross-legged.

This lovely child has become like this now, all because of Wang Batian's family.

Now the child has lost his mother and sister. Now even his godfather and godmother are unknown whether they are alive or dead.

I watched helplessly as my grandparents, who loved me so much, died in an accident.

How could such a little child bear this? I don't know whether he is possessed by a demon or the reincarnation of his original god.

I just touched his skin lightly and almost burned myself.

Ling Mi slowly squatted down, not daring to reach out to explore.

Looking around Huo Ling'er carefully, he found that the child's skin was covered with red lines like tree branches.

Those phoenix eyes were wide open, and the whites of the eyes were ablaze with red.

The pair of small hands have now turned into dragon claws, and each sharp claw flashes the color of fireworks in the moonlight.

The little mouth opened angrily, revealing fangs.

The whole posture looked like he was extremely angry and suddenly exploded and lost his mind.

One can imagine how helpless Huo Ling'er was at that time, a young child in the wilderness.

How could he bear to watch his loved ones die?

The more Ling Mi looked at him, the more painful her heart became. She really wanted to go up and hug Huo Ling'er and comfort him.

But the scorching heat from his body made Lingmi retract her hand again.

"okokokok……"

Maomao gently approached Lingmi and rubbed Lingmi's hand with his black nose.

In this silent and empty night, Maomao's warm body temperature warmed Lingmi's shivering body.

At this moment Ling Mi couldn't hold back any longer, and the tears she had been holding back burst out instantly.

The life or death of their sister is unknown, and the two sisters have come to look for Yang Shilin, who is now in a coma. Master Zhou and his wife have passed away.

The Huo Ling'er in front of her made Ling Mi feel at a loss and she didn't know what to do.

Lingmi couldn't help herself any longer and hugged Maomao beside her.

He burst into tears, his cries were mournful and lonely, and could be heard far away in the cold night sky.

In the past, no matter how dangerous the monsters were, they would always be out of danger in the end.

But tonight they were facing mortals, and they were almost wiped out.

The more Ling Mi thought about it, the sadder she became, and the louder she cried.

Maomao sat down steadily, and his black claws gently touched Lingmi, as if to comfort Lingmi.

"Maomao, what should we do now? Huo Ling'er is in this state now. I really can't help him."

"Your whole body is burning like charcoal. If you continue to burn like this, the child will be burned. Woo woo..."

"Cuckoo...cuckoo..."

Maomao made a short and steady sound from his throat, as if responding to Lingmi's question.

Tell him not to worry, Huo Linger is fine.

Ling Mi's wailing gradually subsided.

"Our Maomao is very smart. I understand what you mean. You want me to not be anxious. Being anxious won't solve the problem."

"Okay! Since it's just you and me now, let's figure it out ourselves. No one can help us except ourselves now."

Having said that, Lingmi stopped crying and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Panxi turned around and sat opposite Huo Linger, staring at the possessed Huo Linger with a pair of firm almond-shaped eyes.
