The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Chapter 120: One Night Absent (1)

At the entrance of Shelong Village in the setting sun, the whole village was covered with a layer of golden gauze.

Next to a thin and pretty figure, lay a small black and white furry beast.

The figure was stretched out into a long and slanted shape by the setting sun, and even the shadow was coated with gold.

Hua Chao was extremely anxious and now regretted letting Ling Mi go to Mengbao Town alone.

It was almost night, but she had not appeared at the village entrance yet. Where had she gone?

Should I go out and look for her now? But I am afraid that Ling Mi will come back as soon as I leave, and she will be even more anxious if she doesn't see me.

"Maomao, what should I do? Why hasn't your sister Lingmi come back yet? Are you really going to drive me crazy?"

"okokokok……"

The little guy put his black nose close to Hua Chao's hand, as if to comfort her.

But what can it do? It is just a half-grown giant panda.

The autumn wind blew by, and Hua Chao couldn't help but shiver. It was so cold that Tian Lingmi was wearing thin clothes when she went out, and she must be shivering from the cold now.

Suddenly, a cloak was put on Hua Chao, and Hua Chao was instantly wrapped in warmth, and the coldness on her body was immediately reduced a lot.

I saw a mighty figure covering my own shadow, and the two shadows overlapped.

Then a deep and magnetic voice sounded.

"Go back, the food is hot in the pot. Go back and eat, I'll go to Mengbao Town to check it out. Don't worry, I will find Ling Mi and bring her back to you safely."

Hua Chao could no longer hold back the tears that flowed like a spring. Now she was in this strange place.

She had no relatives, and Ling Mi was the most important person to her, but she never came back and there was no way of knowing what happened to her.

Yang Shilin stretched out his hands to hold the shaking shoulders, but he didn't have the courage, so he could only stop in mid-air and gently shake his fingers.

The person in front of him was the Sixth Princess he had been thinking about all the time, a fairy who had descended to the earth. How could a mortal like him have so many extravagant expectations of her?

As long as I can be with her quietly and see her every day, that's enough.

Hua Chao didn't dare to turn around, for she was afraid that if she turned around he would see her tears.

"Thank you, Young Master Yang, for taking the trouble to make this trip!"

"Please go back and wait patiently. Maybe Ling Mi has returned home safely before I reach Mengbao Town! Just go home and have dinner and wait for my news!"

Hua Chao bowed and didn't turn around: "I just want to wait for Ling Mi here, so that I can see her as soon as she comes back."

"Girl, you should go back and wait. It's too cold here. If Ling Mi comes back safely and you fall ill waiting for her, she will be sad."

Having said that, he said no more and Yang Shilin clasped his hands and bowed.

"Girl, please go back!"

After saying this, without waiting for Hua Chao to say anything more, he turned around and quickly walked out of the village.

Hua Chao watched his tall figure disappear at the end of the path at the entrance of the village.

She no longer insisted on waiting there, but turned around and started on her way home, with her chubby furry friend following closely behind her.

…………

Yang Shilin quickened his pace. Now, the short distance to Mengbao Town was just a blink of an eye for him.

When we arrived at Mengbao Town, night had just fallen. It was not too late yet. This time was still a bit early for most businesses to close.

There weren't too many pedestrians on the road, so Yang Shilin went straight to Wu Yue Pharmacy, which was Ling Mi's destination in Mengbao Town today.

If I want to find her, I must ask my boss first.

When we arrived at Wu Yue Pharmacy, the lights were still on.

As soon as Yang Shilin entered the room, my boss was in the hall. As soon as he saw him, he quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Hahaha...nephew, long time no see! Why did you come to our shop so late today?"

Yang Shilin clasped his hands together and asked directly without beating around the bush.

"My boss, has Miss Lingmi, who brought you herbs from the Shelong Village, ever visited your shop?"

My boss looked confused. How come Yang Shilin has always been averse to women? Why is he rushing to his place to find a girl today? He must have realized something!

"Miss Lingmi came here today, but she took the money and left. She seemed quite happy!"

My boss looked at Yang Shilin who looked anxious and replied quickly.

"Hey, do you know where she went after she left here? The little girl hasn't come home yet at this time today, and her family is almost worried to death!"

"Ah... Miss Lingmi and Miss Huachao are my regular customers. How could something like this happen suddenly? They were introduced by Brother Zhou. For Brother Zhou's sake, I can't just stand by and watch."

My boss waved his hand and gave instructions to the shop assistant.

"Wu Fu, tell them that today's business will end here. If there is anything else, the shop will be closed immediately."

"Yes!"

Wu Fu immediately greeted everyone in the store and sent the customers who were still in the store out with a smile. Soon everyone in Wu Yue Pharmacy was standing in the store.

My boss clasped his hands together and said to the servants.

"Everyone knows Miss Lingmi who came to our store this afternoon. She was introduced by my old friend Brother Zhou. Now the little girl hasn't returned home yet, and we don't know where she went. She disappeared after leaving our place, so we at Wuyue Pharmacy can't just ignore her. Now everyone in and out of the store, go to the street and ask for her whereabouts. I will reward anyone who can find Miss Lingmi."

"Yes……"

Everyone returned in unison, and as soon as they turned around, they all disappeared into the night.

My boss smiled slightly and said to Yang Shilin.

"My nephew, just stay in the store and wait for news. Mengbao Town is not that big. With so many people out looking, we will get news in no time."

Yang Shilin couldn't sit still, looking at the street market in the night anxiously.

"Hahaha! It looks like my nephew is very interested in this Miss Lingmi!"

Yang Shilin then came to his senses and waved his hands hurriedly.

"You are joking, old man. Miss Lingmi is my sister. They are very familiar with my master. How can I ignore them?"

"Oh!……"

My boss stroked his beard lightly and looked at the handsome young man in front of him meaningfully.

He is one of the most handsome young men in this town, and many girls try their best to talk to him.

But I have never heard that he looked at any girl directly.

But today he rushed into the store with an anxious look on his face, just to inquire about the news about the Lingmi girl.

I have been dealing with this young man from the Yang family for nearly six years. He is a kind, hardworking man, and has great kung fu skills.

I have always wanted him to be my son-in-law, but this guy just won't agree. I used to think that after one or two years, the boy and my daughter would see each other more often, and maybe they would fall in love with each other.

But looking at him like this today, there is no hope for my daughter.

Miss Lingmi is as beautiful as a fairy, and her own daughter cannot compare to her, not to mention that there is a Miss Huachao who is even more beautiful than Miss Lingmi.
