The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Chapter 179 Treat it as your own child

Huachao, Yang Shilin and Ling Mi rushed to Master Zhou's house overnight, although they were a little tired from the journey.

But when he stood at the door of his master's house, Yang Shilin's hands trembled a little, and when he raised them, they stopped in mid-air.

I’m afraid that after I knock on the door, there will be no sound from inside the house.

After a long pause, he finally knocked on the door gently.

"Who is it? ..."

When I heard the familiar voice of the master coming from inside the house.

Yang Shilin let out a long sigh, and his heart finally settled down.

"Master is me..."

“Oh… here it comes…”

The door opened and the master's kind face appeared in front of the three people.

The deep wrinkles on his face formed a crescent smile.

"Come in quickly... come in quickly... it's still a little cold at night!"

"grandfather……"

Huo Linger's clear voice made Master Zhou even happier.

He reached out and took Huo Ling'er from Yang Shilin's shoulder.

"Oh! My eldest grandson! He misses grandpa so much!"

As he said this affectionately, he kissed Huo Ling'er on the face non-stop.

"Huo Ling'er is here..."

"Come in quickly... come in quickly... old man, please let the children in, don't just kiss your eldest grandson!"

The master's wife whispered reproaches behind Master Zhou.

"Master's wife..."

…………

Hua Chao followed behind Yang Shilin, with Maomao clinging to her side. Entering the house, they saw a small room with old furniture but clean and tidy.

As soon as he sat down, the master's wife brought the tea and handed a cup to Hua Chao.

A pair of cloudy eyes were bright and shining with loving light in the night.

"Miss Hua Chao! She is really pretty."

A pair of wrinkled and rough hands tightly held Hua Chao's hands and rubbed them back and forth.

Hua Chao wanted to stand up and salute, but the old lady didn't let go.

"Hurry up and drink some water. You must be tired from walking all the way! Look at how sweaty you are."

Master Zhou looked at Yang Shilin, then at Hua Chao, and asked.

"What are you guys doing here so late at night?"

Yang Shilin got up and left the house. Master Zhou immediately understood, put down Huo Ling'er in his arms, and followed him out.

When he entered the room again, Master Zhou's face looked solemn, no longer as cheerful as before.

Hua Chao then understood that dreams were so magical in the mortal world. They all believed that what happened in dreams would happen in reality.

"Hua Chao, Shilin told me what exactly happened?"

Master Zhou touched Huo Linger's head lovingly and spoke earnestly.

"I think you guys should leave here as soon as possible. As for what happened in the dream, don't worry about it. If the Wang Batian people want to come for revenge, let them come. I'm an old man and I'm not afraid of them."

Hua Chao stood up anxiously after hearing what Master Zhou said.

"How can this be possible? There is no reason for us to abandon you two old people and not care about them!"

"Letting us escape like this and putting you two elders in danger, I, Hua Chao, cannot do such a thing."

Ling Mi also stood up and held Hua Chao.

"Sister is right. Ling Mi will not agree to this. I want to see how vicious the people in the palace are!"

"No matter how fierce and evil they are, can they be as fierce as giant pythons and Shiba Inu spirits? We sisters are not afraid of Shiba Inu spirits or giant pythons. We are afraid of these little mortals."

As she spoke, she clenched her fists and showed an unstoppable posture.

"If they come one, I kill one. If they come a pair, I kill a pair."

Maomao moved close to Lingmi, and when he stood up, he was actually half a head taller than Lingmi.

"okokokok……"

The two huge bear paws kept scratching in the air, as if they were going to smack someone to death with one paw.

Yang Shilin said nothing, just paced back and forth in the room, with his head down, thinking about something!

Hua Chao also lowered his head to think, although the three of them plus a bear could also deal with the people from the Wang family who came.

But it is unnecessary to mobilize such a large army to fight against a group of unreasonable evil people.

What if someone gets injured in the end, or worse, dies? Is it worth it?

In fact, it is better to just leave and escape with the master and his wife. This may be better.

As long as the person is still alive, everything else is external to the body. As long as you have hands and feet, you can live anywhere.

Hua Chao raised his head and wanted to express what was on his mind.

Yang Shilin also looked up at the same time. The determination in his eyes made Hua Chao know that what he was thinking must be the same as what he thought.

"Master, why don't you pack up your things now and let you two escape with us. Let's leave this place of trouble. As long as I, Yang Shilin, am here, I won't let you two suffer."

Master Zhou lowered his head in thought, his rough hands constantly rubbing Huo Linger's hair.

After a long time, Master Zhou raised his head and looked around the room, stroking the furniture in the room reluctantly.

He whispered, "Okay! Then let's get up now. Since we have to leave, the sooner the better."

"Old woman, just take the silver from home. Don't take anything else. I'll come back to pack the rest when I have the chance."

The old lady wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth and didn't ask any more questions. She just turned around and went back into the house.

After a while, the old lady came out of the inner room carrying a bundle on her back.

"Okay, I'm done."

Hua Chao admired the old couple very much. They did things efficiently and effectively without any procrastination.

Although they didn't have much belongings, they could easily be left behind. They could just take a simple bag and escape with them.

Yang Shilin reached over and took the bag off his master's wife.

"I'll take it. You can just follow us, Master's wife. As long as I have a child, I won't let you suffer any loss wherever I go."

"Good! The old lady knows that my Shilin is the most filial."

Tears streamed down his kind face, and his rough hands tightly grasped Master Zhou's arm.

The two elderly people supported each other and walked out of the old house where they had lived all their lives.

Hua Chao followed closely behind them, looking at the old couple's backs, feeling unhappy.

What a kind old couple! Huo Ling'er and her two sons have no blood relationship with them.

When I saved the mother and her two children, I was just being kind-hearted.

However, after Master Zhou learned the news, he provided help without hesitation.

Later, seeing how pitiful Huo Linger and her sister were, she longed for fatherly love.

That's why Yang Shilin adopted the pair of godsons as his children, and did his best to help take care of Huo Linger and her sister.

He always treated this pair of poor children as his own grandsons.

Now, because of this incident, I have no place to live when I am old.

But the two old people didn't have any complaints at all and really treated Yang Shilin like their own child.

No wonder Yang Shilin was so anxious when he heard that his master was in danger.

It is true that although they are not biological children, the relationship is better than that of biological children.
