Rescuing People

"Your father is nearby. I can't do anything to you even if I wanted to!"

The old man said, "My legs are like this, I can't even outrun you!"

Xie Chaochao thought about it and agreed.

If he really wanted to hurt her, she could get the little tiger's help!

"Alright, I'll pull you up!"

"Aren't you going to get your father? A child like you can't pull me up!"

"No need. I have Xiao Hu here. Xiao Hu is very strong!"

As Xie Chaochao spoke, she looked around. "There are no ropes here!"

"See if you can find any tree vines!"

Xie Chaochao walked around the area and found two short tree vines.

However, that was sufficient.

This col was originally not considered deep. It was just that the old man's legs were disabled, so he did not have the ability to climb up.

Xie Chaochao tied the tree vines together and threw one bunch down.

"Hold on to the rope. I'll get Xiao Hu to pull you up!"

Xiao Hu was biting on the rope on the other end. When Xie Chaochao gave the instruction, it pulled the rope while retreating.

Xie Chaochao also pulled the rope along with Xiao Hu, but the little girl's strength was of no help.

Xie Chaochao ran to the edge and watched as the person below slowly ascended to the ground.

"Xiao Hu, you can do it! Xiao Hu, you can do it! When we get back, I'll get Daddy to reward you with roasted chicken!"

The little tiger probably pulled harder at the mention of its favorite food.

The old man was pulled up.

He sprawled on the ground in an exhausted state.

Panting.

He was old, and with the problem of his legs, just this bit of physical activity had left him extremely exhausted.

He took a few minutes to recover, then struggled to sit up.

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!"

Like an old pedant, he lectured Xie Chaochao.
