Chapter 13: Rescued
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xie Zhou was worried about his daughter, so he had to get out as soon as possible.
He continued to dig at the soil. Some of the small rocks that fell from above landed on him.
Xie Zhou ignored it. As long as he could go out and see his daughter, getting a little injured was not a big deal.
Xie Zhou was able to dig a distance with much difficulty and felt the wind.
However, Xie Chaochao’s voice had disappeared.
He was still a distance away from the ground, and there was no support below, so he couldn’t leverage on the support below to climb up.
Xie Chaochao was still poking the ground as she mumbled, “Where’s Daddy? I’ve been shouting for so long, why isn’t he replying?”
“Xiao Hua, can you help me find Daddy?”
At this moment, she saw the little flower snake crawling toward the small hole.
Xie Chaochao watched in amazement as the small flower snake disappeared into the hole.
Her face lit up with joy.
“Xiao Hua must have found Daddy. Daddy is down there!”
Xie Chaochao hugged the little tiger and jumped in joy.
“Xiao Hu, let’s dig up the soil and rescue Daddy!”
Her small hands began to dig at the dirt at the hole. Xiao Hu followed her, digging at the dirt with its front paws.
At this moment, Sun Chengfu and the others also came over.
“She’s there, that little girl is there!”
A group of people quickly came to Xie Chaochao.
Xie Chaochao was elated. “My father is down there. Can you help me dig up the soil?”
Sun Chengfu felt that this little girl was crazy.
How would she know that Xie Zhou was down here?
“Stop fooling around. It’s too dark now, it’s not easy to find him. We’ll definitely come and find your father in the daytime tomorrow. Go back first!”
Old Wang was a little angry at Xie Chaochao for making them come out to look for Xie Zhou at night.

His tone towards Xie Chaochao was also quite serious.
“Uncle Sun, can you help me rescue Daddy? Daddy is down there! He must be waiting for me to find him!”

Although Sun Chengfu did not believe the little girl’s words, in order to make her give up, he still said to everyone, “Then let’s dig this place up and see!”
After saying that, he felt like he was possessed. He was really willing to accompany this little girl to do meaningless things.
Just now, Xie Chaochao was standing on the other side, and the moon happened to appear. When the moonlight shone on her body, it was as if she was covered in a layer of light, like a goddess.

This scene was deeply engraved in Sun Chengfu’s mind.
Under Sun Chengfu’s call, a group of people was able to quickly dig up the gravel and soil.
Xie Zhou, who was trapped underneath, had already seen the small flower snake and knew that it was Xie Chaochao who came for him.
He felt warmth in his heart, and was even more anxious to leave.
Before he could come up with a solution, he saw that the soil and gravel had been moved away, and the moonlight shone into the hole.
“Xie Zhou, you’re really in there!”
Sun Chengfu was amazed.
A group of people pulled Xie Zhou up to the ground. When they saw that he was fine, they felt uneasy.
He was trapped underground due to the collapse, yet he survived unscathed.
Just now, Xie Chaochao had said with certainty that Xie Zhou was below. How was she so sure?
Sun Chengfu was reminded of the layer of light around Xie Chaochao that he saw just now. She looked like a goddess that had descended to the mortal world.
At this moment, he was even more certain of his thoughts.
Xie Chaochao pounced on Xie Zhou and shouted happily, “Daddy, did you see Xiao Hua?”
“Yes, thank you Chaochao for rescuing Daddy!”
Xie Zhou wiped the dirt off Xie Chaochao’s chubby hands and carried her.
Afterwards, he said to the villagers, “Thank you for rescuing me this time!”
Sun Chengfu smiled and said, “We are all fellow villagers. It’s nothing! Besides, we’re still waiting for you to bring us to earn big money!”
Xie Zhou had a cold personality. After being imprisoned for so long, he had already forgotten how to interact normally with the villagers.
It hadn’t changed much in the past few years.
After what happened today, his relationship with the villagers had changed.
