The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Chapter 226 Dark Clouds Overwhelm

In order to reduce her godfather's pain, Huo Linger decided to go to the Shelong Village alone to look for white rice.

It would also be a good idea to cook some rice porridge for his godfather. The young boy thought that as long as his godfather could drink some rice porridge, he would get better.

So he rushed out of the wooden house in a hurry and ran towards his grandfather's house.

There are not many families in Xilong Village, scattered throughout the mountains and forests.

Huo Linger, anxiously waiting, stumbled along the way.

There were not many houses, and the village was filled with the sound of mournful cries.

So many people died in the village overnight, and the villagers were busy and painstakingly preparing for the funerals of their deceased relatives.

As she stepped onto the path leading to her grandfather's house, Huo Linger's heart felt as if stabbed by a sharp steel knife.

He couldn't help but hold his chest in pain, his feet that usually ran so briskly.

But at this moment, I couldn't lift my legs at all. My legs seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and every step required all my strength.

This path brought him so much joy every time his grandfather took him hunting in the mountains.

When he came back, he always ran ahead with the hunted game in his hands.

He called out to his grandma who was waiting for him at home, as long as his voice could reach her house.

There is always a kind old lady appearing at the gate of the courtyard.

Those loving eyes always looked at me, calling my name, and scolding me to run slower and not fall.

But now there is no grandfather following behind me anymore, and no grandmother waiting for me in front of me anymore.

In the blink of an eye, the two old men who loved him deeply fell before his eyes.

It happened so fast that he didn't have time to react. When he came to his senses, grandma and grandpa were already lying on the barren grass.

Why is this world so unfair to me?

"Why...all those who are good to Huo Ling'er must die..."

Huo Linger stopped, gasped, looked up at the sky and asked.

Suddenly, he pointed his hands towards the sky and his face instantly turned cold and ruthless.

The sound didn't sound like that of a child.

"If you take my godfather and godmother away again this time, Huo Ling'er swears that she will poke a hole in your heaven..."

"God, are you blind? Why don't good people get good rewards? The evil people, on the other hand, are living a life of luxury, riding in carriages and wearing gold and silver..."

"Isn't this Huo Ling'er? Go check on your grandpa and grandma. They died such a tragic death! Woo woo..."

Suddenly, a village woman's voice sounded behind Huo Ling'er.

It was Grandpa’s neighbor Aunt Liu, a very kind aunt who often gave Huo Linger delicious food.

"Auntie... wuwu..."

Aunt Liu touched Huo Linger's head with heartache.

"Good boy, don't cry... It's very cold standing alone at the entrance of the village. Let's go back and drink some hot water to warm ourselves up."

Huo Linger choked and wiped away her tears.

"Aunt... I just came here to find some rice and a pot so I can go back and cook some rice porridge for godfather. Maybe godfather will feel better after drinking some rice porridge."

"Poor child. Your grandfather's family is handling the funeral, so they don't have time to take care of you... Why don't you go to your aunt's house and she will get it for you."

Huo Linger nodded heavily, stopped crying, and followed her aunt closely.

When I arrived at my grandfather's house, I saw people in the yard busying about.

Huo Linger could no longer bear it and rushed into the yard, knelt down in front of her grandparents' coffin, and burst into tears.

"Wuwu...Grandpa and grandma, Huo Ling'er is so unfilial...I can't keep vigil in front of grandpa and grandma, I can only come over to take a look...Wuwu..."

"Godfather is in a very bad condition right now. Huo Ling'er has to go back to take care of godfather and Maomao... woooo... Grandpa loves godfather the most. You must pray that godfather will get better soon... woooo..."

"Poor kid...your grandfather has us, your aunt and uncle here, so don't worry."

"Thank you, fellow villagers. Huo Ling'er will remember your kindness and will definitely repay you for your kindness in the future..."

As he said this, he kowtowed to all the villagers who were helping in the yard one by one.

All the villagers covered their faces and cried, silently accepting the children's kowtow.

After waiting and kowtowing to all the villagers, Huo Linger reluctantly left the hospital.

I took the rice and pot given by Aunt Liu and walked quickly back.

It was almost the Yin hour, when the sun was at its hottest.

Although she was sweating profusely, Huo Linger did not dare to relax at all.

It took quite a while to go back and forth on the road.

Only a little squirrel was left at home to look after godfather and Maomao.

How can we feel at ease? Fortunately, we are in the village.

I don't think there will be too much trouble.

Now that I have white rice and a pot, I just need to go back and cook a pot of white rice porridge and feed some rice soup to my godfather.

Maybe godfather will wake up.

Thinking of this, Huo Linger was already out of breath.

But his feet were walking faster and faster, wishing he could grow wings and fly back to the cabin.

As I walked back, I couldn't help but look back.

I just hope that when I look back, I can see my godmother and aunt going out to look for orchids.

They had been out for a long time, and the Soul-Breaking Cliff where they were going to find the Orchid Grass was not far from here.

They should have returned by now. As long as godmother finds the orchid grass, there will be no problem in getting godfather to wake up.

Huo Linger knew that with just the little bit of white rice in her hand, she couldn't make any delicious rice soup.

It is not a panacea to save lives, at best it can only satisfy hunger.

But I kept looking back as I walked until I was almost in sight of the door of the wooden house.

There was no sign of my godmother and aunt on the path behind me.

On the path shining under the sun, there was only a lonely and thin figure.

There were also cries coming from the village from time to time, and the entire Xilong Village was shrouded in a desolate shadow.

The hatred in Huo Linger's heart grew stronger and stronger.

Ever since he came to the Xilong Village, all the villagers have been very kind to him and his two children.

Not only did they find them a place to live, but they also helped build a simple and warm home for the three of them.

Whenever someone made something delicious, they would send it to the mother and her two children.

It is so much better than those wealthy Wang family members.

But in the end, it was because of myself that these kind villagers suffered a devastating disaster.

It also caused the death of my grandpa and grandma.

If he has the chance in the future, he will definitely take revenge.

And there is that hateful Shiba Inu spirit. When the time comes, I will pull out its tendons and skin it alive.

Give your heart, liver and lungs to worship your grandparents.

Huo Linger, who was walking quickly with her head down, suddenly heard a loud noise.

When I looked up, I saw that the sky over the entire Shelong Village was suddenly covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder.

From a distance, I saw a dark and strong wind blowing towards me.

With strong winds, dark clouds, lightning and thunder, the entire Xilong Village seemed to be at the end of the world...
