nXie Chaochao didn’t say anything else. She sat silently on the small stool and hugged the little tiger.

n

nSun Chengfu and his wife accompanied Xie Chaochao to finish her meal, thinking that they had managed to coax this little girl.

n

nIn the blink of an eye, Xie Chaochao ran out of the house with her friends.

n

nXie Chaochao stood at the foot of the mountain.

n

nThe surroundings were pitch-black. The little girl was hugging the little tiger.

n

n“Xiao Hu, Daddy will definitely be fine. Let’s go up the mountain to look for him!”

n

nXiao Hu rubbed its paws on Xie Chaochao as if in response.

n

nThen, Xiao Hu took the lead and ran into the mountains.

n

nXie Chaochao followed behind it and also ran into the pitch-black mountains.

n

nShe was very familiar with the mountains. She used to play here with the little tiger and the other animals every day. It was like her second home.

n

nEven when the sky is dark, Xie Chaochao did not encounter any mishaps.

n

n“Daddy! Daddy! Where are you?”

n

nXie Chaochao shouted as she ran.

n

nThey went to the mother tiger’s cave, to the uphill slope where she had gone with Xie Zhou previously.

n

nAfter that, they found the collapsed area.

n

n“Daddy!”

n

nXie Chaochao’s voice echoed through the silent mountains.

n

nOn the other hand, Sun Chengfu also realized that Xie Chaochao had disappeared.

n

nHe immediately panicked.

n

nHe found the villagers who had worked with Xie Zhou and wanted to go find Xie Chaochao.

n

n“Xie Zhou had just gotten into an accident, and now his precious daughter has gone lost! If he’s still alive, how are we going to answer to him?!”

n

nSun Chengfu was really reluctant to part with his current job.

n

nNot only was the work not tiring, but he also earned a lot of money.

n

nThis was all thanks to Xie Zhou.

n

nOver the past few years, Xie Zhou had become their backbone.

n

nThe moment something had happened to him, most of the villagers panicked.

n

nThe current village chief, Old Wang, felt very conflicted.

n

nPreviously, he saw Xie Zhou giving orders in the village. As the village chief, he was not of any use at all, so he harbored resentment towards Xie Zhou.

n

nHowever, he knew in his heart that if something had really happened to Xie Zhou, their village would lose their source of income.

n

n“Hand over the men in the village and form a team to search in the mountains!”

n

n“It’s already so late at night. Who knows what she might encounter? Let’s not waste any more time!”

n

nThey hurried up the mountain with flashlights.

n

nAt that time, Xie Chaochao had no idea how big of a commotion she had caused with her departure.

n

nShe was still shouting, “Daddy, where are you?”

n

nThe little girl’s voice was hoarse.

n

nIn the end, she sat on a large rock, looking depressed.

n

n“Xiao Hu, Daddy will definitely be fine, right?”

n

nShe poked a small hole in the ground with a wooden stick.

n

nThe little tiger went around in circles.

n

nThe little flower snake also climbed down from the little girl’s neck.

n

nIt crawled along the stick, to the small hole.

n

nXie Chaochao sounded very down. “Daddy is so capable, he will definitely be fine!”

n

nXie Zhou was trapped underground. At first, he did faint.

n

nAfter some time, he vaguely heard Xie Chaochao’s voice.

n

nHe wasn’t sure if he was hearing things.

n

nHowever, when he thought of his precious daughter, he immediately regained consciousness.

n

nIf he died here, what would happen to his daughter?

n

nHow could she survive alone?

n

nXie Zhou started digging at the surrounding soil.

n

nThe space he was in was very small.

n

nIf he wanted to get out, he would have to remove the soil and gravel on top.

n

nAfter a while, Xie Zhou suddenly smelled something and sniffed his hands.

n

nThere was no light here and he could not see anything.

n

nHowever, this familiar smell made him feel ecstatic.

n

nIf the things inside were really what he thought, then this was a blessing in disguise!
