The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Chapter 166 Huo Ling'er was stabbed into a hedgehog

Hua Chao was describing to Yang Shilin how Huo Ling'er's mother and sister died tragically at the hands of Wang Batian.

Then I heard a heart-wrenching roar behind me, as if it was going to explode the entire night sky.

"Ah...ah..."

Hua Chao turned around and saw Huo Ling'er standing not far away, her thin body shaking in the night wind.

The small fist was clenched and hung at the side of the body, and the friction between the joints made a "crackling..." sound.

A pair of eyes like the autumn moon revealed a look of despair.

"Why is he here..." Ling Mi asked.

"He must have been waiting anxiously at home, so he ran to the door to wait for us, and followed us when he heard the noise."

Hua Chao didn't have time to think about it and rushed over to hug the little body.

I don’t know if it was because of the cold or because they had been standing outside for too long, but Huo Linger in my arms was like a piece of ice.

His body was still shaking, and Hua Chao picked up Huo Linger.

But all he saw was Huo Linger's eyes were dull, her bright eyes were staring straight ahead, her face was as pale as snow, and her lips had lost all their color.

"Huo Ling'er, Huo Ling'er, what's wrong with you? Look at your godmother... Don't scare me..."

Hua Chao called the child's name in a low voice, but the child in her arms did not respond at all.

Yang Shilin rushed over and hugged Huo Ling'er, holding her horizontally in his arms to examine her carefully.

"It seems that Huo Ling'er is too anxious. How can such a young child bear to hear that his relatives have died tragically?"

Hua Chao took out the handkerchief in her arms and gently wiped the tears from the corners of the child's eyes.

"What can we do, what can we do..."

Ling Mi was so anxious that she kept spinning around in place.

"Hurry home! Ask Master to come and look after the child when I leave tonight. Master must be at home now. As long as he is here, there will be no problem."

Yang Shilin said this and ran towards home, followed closely by Hua Chao and Ling Mi.

Maomao shook his fat body and followed closely behind Hua Chao.

The poor child was only six or seven years old, and he was forced by his biological father to suffer the contempt of the world.

He struggled on the brink of life and death every day and couldn't get any food. In order to prevent his mother and sister from starving, he actually stole from the entire Mengbao Town.

Even if he had to be beaten every day, he had to provide for his sister and mother.

But in the end, I didn't even get to see my mother and sister for the last time.

Even the bodies of two close relatives could not be found.

How can a young child bear this?

Three people stumbled into the house.

“Master, Master… please save Huo Ling’er! Please save Huo Ling’er…”

Yang Shilin screamed loudly with a crying voice.

When Master Zhou heard the noise, he rushed over. When he saw Huo Linger in Yang Shilin's arms, he was also frightened.

"How come the child is like this after not seeing him for a while? Put him to bed quickly."

"He heard some noise on the path and said he was going out to take a look. The poor boy has been waiting at the entrance of the village all day, waiting for you to come back. I didn't call him back home until dark."

Master Zhou carefully examined Huo Linger and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"This child is so sad that he has become mentally confused!"

"Shilin, bring me my knapsack. I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Go to Mengbao Town to get it overnight."

Master Zhou took the paper, ink, brush and inkstone handed over by Lingmi, wiped them twice, wrote a prescription and gave it to Yang Shilin.

He told him to go and come back quickly, and took out a set of dry needles from his bag.

Hua Chao looked at this set of exquisite dry needles, each one was clean and tidy, and looked like an embroidery needle.

But no one knows what its magical use is. Could it be that Master Zhou wants to use these silver needles to cure Huo Linger?

The methods of treating diseases in the mortal world are really strange. Doesn't it hurt when these needles are inserted into the body?

Ling Mi was so scared that she went to Hua Zhao's side, took Hua Zhao's hand and held it tightly.

Master Zhou took off all of Huo Ling'er's clothes, picked up a long silver needle, and stabbed it into Huo Ling'er's thin body.

As the old man's fingers kept turning, a silver needle pierced deeply into Huo Linger's chest.

Hua Chao couldn't help but tremble in her heart. The hand that was tightly held by Ling Mi made her feel so painful.

Then Master Zhou inserted four or five silver needles into Huo Linger's chest.

The silver needles were still trembling, emitting starlight in the candlelight.

Hua Chao bit her rosy lips and watched the silver needles pierce into Huo Linger's body.

But he didn't dare to ask, and could only watch the skinny Huo Ling'er gradually turn into a hedgehog.

Hua Chao had never seen such a terrifying way of treating illness.

We could only try to keep the room quiet and not distract Master Zhou as the needles were being inserted into the child's body.

If you accidentally pierce the wrong spot, you can’t imagine what the consequences will be.

The more I look at it, the more frightened I become, and the more terrifying it becomes, but I can't help but feel uneasy if I don't look at it.

Hua Chao was watching with fear and trepidation, and he felt that Maomao, who was pressed against his legs, was also trembling slightly.

Maomao's warm body was pressed against Hua Chao's side. At first it was only trembling slightly, but later it began to shake violently.

Hua Chao looked down and saw Maomao's obsidian eyes staring at Huo Ling'er lying on the bed.

A pair of dark circles under the eyes, originally the whites of the eyes could not be seen, but tonight the eyes were suddenly bulging with a circle of white.

As the bear trembled all over, the sound of the teeth knocking against each other in its half-open mouth came clearly into Hua Chao's ears.

It looked like Maomao was terribly frightened, and pricked people like a hedgehog. Anyone who saw it would be trembling with fear.

Hua Chao squatted down and hugged Maomao tightly in his arms. It was really difficult to hold Maomao's fat body.

I can only hold its neck in my arms to make it feel safe and stop trembling like this.

Looking at the giant panda with panic-stricken eyes in his arms, Hua Chao was a little amused and helpless.

How come this little guy is so brave in fighting? It was just a dry needle, but it scared it to death.

Even now when I held him in my arms, he was still shaking all over, his teeth chattering.

Hua Chao looked at Huo Linger who was lying on the bed, but saw Xiao Wo lying quietly at the head of the bed.

Xiaowo didn't seem scared at all, as if he was used to it. He didn't look panicked at all.

It seems that when it comes to courage, sometimes body size cannot be used to judge it.

However, there is no way to compare how good the two little guys are to Huo Linger.

Now, watching Huo Ling'er being stabbed into a big hedgehog, he must be feeling bad.

As Master Zhou inserted silver needles into Huo Linger's body one by one, the child's complexion gradually recovered visibly.

She wasn't as pale as before, and her lips had a little more color.

Hua Chao was relieved. Master Zhou was indeed an excellent doctor. He could save a life with just a few silver needles.
