The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Chapter 122 Huo Linger

Ling Mi beat the big man away in two moves at the market and saved a little boy.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Lingmi turned around to look at the boy who was still hiding behind her.

"They're all gone, you don't have to be so scared."

The child then carefully walked up to Ling Mi and bowed down to her.

"Thank you, benefactor sister. Thank you, benefactor sister."

Ling Mi hurriedly squatted down, helped the child up, looked at the thin and frail child, and asked with pity.

"Where are your family? Why are you alone in this town?"

The child stared at him with his big, sparkling eyes and replied very seriously.

"I have a mother and a sister at home, but my mother is not in good health. I can't get anything to eat today, so my mother and sister will go hungry again when I go back."

Ling Mi looked at the little boy's head gradually lowering, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

He looked to be only seven or eight years old, so thin that only a skeleton was left, with ragged clothes and unkempt hair.

Only those eyes were very smart and looked a bit energetic.

"Where is your home? How about I take you home?"

Lingmi half-knelt and looked directly into the little boy's eyes.

The child's head, which was still lowered, suddenly raised up and looked at Lingmi happily. Suddenly, the starlight in his eyes dimmed again and he slowly lowered his head.

"Let's not do that! Sister, you should go home quickly! It's getting late. If you go back late, your family will be worried. Besides, you may not be able to take care of my family's affairs."

Ling Mi touched the child's thin face with some curiosity.

"It's okay, sister. I'm very powerful. Just now, I defeated that fat guy in just two moves! Besides, after I send you home, I will go home. Look, there is still a little squirrel to keep you company! Sister, don't be afraid."

Ling Mi reached out and took the little guy out of her arms. The little guy blinked his big eyes and sniffed the little boy.

As soon as the child saw the nest, he immediately smiled and most of the sadness on his face disappeared.

"Sister, your little squirrel is so cute! How come it is so obedient?"

"Its name is Xiaowo, and it's a very obedient little cutie. Do you want to hug it?"

"Yes! Yes! ..."

After all, she is still a child, so how could she not like the cute little pet?

He reached out and held Xiaowo in his arms. Xiaowo didn't mind and jumped lightly onto the child's shoulder.

The small shoulders seem unable to support the small hole.

"Okay, I'll take you home now!"

This time the child did not refuse and turned around and walked to the end of the street.

Ling Mi followed closely behind. She just wanted to see what kind of family would let a seven or eight-year-old child steal things to make a living.

Everyone in the whole town knows that he is stealing. Why doesn't his family do anything about it? What kind of person will he become when he grows up?

The little flower fairy herself didn’t know who her family was. She grew up in loneliness and experienced countless hardships.

He had been bullied in the mountains since he was a child. It was common for him to be humiliated by the monsters in the mountains. What he could not stand the most was children being bullied by others.

If it weren't for Sister Hua Chao who gave her a home, she really doesn't know what kind of torture she would be suffering in the mountains of Jinghe Village now.

Ling Mi thought all the way and followed the little boy through twists and turns until she arrived at a dilapidated courtyard in the west of Mengbao Town.

Pushing open the shabby wooden door, I could not tell whether there was anyone inside the dim and gloomy room.

Ling Mi stepped into the broken house, and the little boy walked quickly to a small corner of the house.

Ling Mi followed closely behind and saw a dying woman lying on a wooden board.

The woman was skinny and naked, and although her face was covered in dirt and looked pale, one could still vaguely tell that she was quite pretty.

"mother……"

The little boy called out softly, and the woman slowly opened her eyes.

Another little head popped out from his arms. It was a little girl who was just over two years old.

The little girl's eyes, as clear as a deer's, flickered at Lingmi, then she immediately retracted her eyes and lowered her head.

“Huo Ling’er, why did you bring people here… cough cough… don’t you know that this will be bad for the people who come here!… cough cough… you… you are going to piss me off to death!… cough cough… cough cough…”

The woman opened her eyes slightly, and when she saw Ling Mi standing in front of her, she didn't ask who Ling Mi was, but started to blame the little boy.

"Mom... don't be angry!... Mom... I know! It's just that this sister is very powerful. Really, it only took her two strikes to knock down Shopkeeper Zhou who bullied me. I just thought that finally someone can help us now!... Woo woo..."

The little boy knelt on his knees and kowtowed heavily after saying this.

"Huo Ling'er!... You'd better send this kind-hearted girl away from here as soon as possible. Otherwise, if that beast gets to know about this, it will bring disaster to this girl. Ahem... Ahem..."

The woman was so excited that she began to cough violently. The coughing seemed to have hollowed out her lungs, making them sound hoarse and hollow.

The little girl in her arms was frightened and started crying loudly. She stretched out her little hands and skillfully pounded the woman on the back.

Do your best to help your mother relieve her pain.

"Mother... Huo Ling'er won't dare to do it again, please don't be angry... Woo woo..."

Ling Mi walked forward and pulled up the little boy who was kneeling on the ground, and brushed the dust off the child helplessly but with some heartache.

"Auntie, I rescued the child because I saw him being beaten so pitifully in the market today. I was also an orphan and was bullied and humiliated since I was a child. Seeing him being beaten in public at such a young age was like seeing myself as a child..."

As Lingmi was talking, her heart ached and tears dripped onto the little boy.

"Cough...cough..."

Seeing that Ling Mi was almost choking up when she talked about her sad feelings, the woman wanted to get up but still couldn't. Instead, she coughed even more violently.

Ling Mi quickly stopped sobbing and comforted softly.

"Don't worry, ma'am. I still have some cakes here. Give some to the children first."

Lingmi took out the various cakes and pastries she had bought today and shared them with the two children and also gave some to the woman.

The two children took the pastries in both hands, without even having time to look at them, and swallowed them in a few gulps.

The pastry was a bit dry to begin with, and the child ate it in a hurry, so he choked after just a few bites, his neck stretched out and his eyes rolled back.

Seeing this, Ling Mi hurried forward to help the little boy massage his back.

Huo Linger was choked and tears were streaming down her face, but she was still reluctant to put down the pastry in her hand.

"Eat slowly, sister has more here, these are all yours, don't be anxious, eat slowly!"

The woman was half lying down, massaging her daughter's back, but the pastry in her hand was still untouched.

"Girl, you are such a kind-hearted person, but you'd better leave quickly. I don't want you to get into trouble because of us! It may not be too late for you to leave quickly. I hope you won't mention us again or come to see us again after you go back! Ahem... ahem..."

Ling Mi looked at the mother and her two children, and didn't understand why the woman was trying so hard to get her to leave! Didn't she want the two children to have a better life?
