Looking at Xie Chaochao, his eyes flashed with amazement.
He hadn’t seen Xie Chaochao’s face clearly earlier. He didn’t expect to see such a beautiful little girl in this small mountain village.
“Thank you for rescuing me!”
If not for this little girl, he would have probably died here without anyone knowing.
“You’re welcome. My father taught me to be helpful!”
Xie Chaochao waved her hand like a little adult.
Then, she asked, “Grandpa, can you still walk like this? Where are you going?”
“I can walk, but I will have to slow down for a while. My things have also fallen in. I still have to think of a way to take them out!”
Xie Chaochao looked inside and saw a large black box in the shadows.
“What’s inside? Is it very heavy?”
Xie Chaochao thought that she should have let Xiao Hu pull it up just now.
“There are paintings that I’ve painted over the years. It’s very heavy, so you shouldn’t be able to get it up!”
The old man looked at Xie Chaochao with gratitude in his eyes. “I’m already very grateful that you rescued me. You should go and look for your father! It is very dangerous for a child to be in the mountains alone!”
“I’m not afraid. Xiao Hu will protect me. I’m very familiar with this place!”
Xie Chaochao hugged Xiao Hu proudly.
She had been wandering around the mountains since she was young. This place was like her second home. With the little tiger accompanying her, Xie Zhou was not worried that she would encounter any danger.
“Your little tiger is very good!”
When Xie Chaochao heard someone praising Xiao Hu, she shared its honor and happily told the old man about her relationship with Xiao Hu.
The old and the young talked for half a day at the edge of the small col.
Xie Chaochao had completely forgotten that she had skipped class.
Until the sky darkened.
Xie Chaochao suddenly jumped up. “Oh no! Daddy must know that I skipped class!”
“Skipped class?”
When the old man heard this, his face was full of disapproval. “Did you skip class? Good children can’t skip classes!”
