Chapter 16: Grandpa with Broken Legs
Xie Zhou was busy with the coal mine. He had not heard about anything else.
Xie Chaochao had nothing to do in school so she escaped from school with the tiger, the little fox and the little flower snake.
The little girl ran through the mountains with the little tiger.
“Xiao Hu, let’s go see your mother first!”
Xie Chaochao followed the little tiger to its mother’s cave.
As they passed by a col, they heard shouts.
Someone seemed to be shouting for help.
Xie Chaochao was a bold child. When she heard the sound, she walked toward the col with the little tiger.
The little tiger was running in front. If it was really a bad person, the little tiger wouldn’t let Xie Chaochao get hurt.
The people here were all from the village, especially on the mountain. There were very few people in the village.
The people who often came here were the people from the transport team and the little fellow, Xie Chaochao!
Her main agenda was to come into the mountains to get a breather and take the little tiger to see its mother.
Therefore, Xie Chaochao thought that if someone had really shouted for help, it was very likely that someone from their village was in trouble.
The little tiger had already walked to the edge of the col and craned its neck to look down.
“Xiao Hu, do you know the person inside?”
Xie Chaochao asked as she approached the edge.
The people in the col may have heard the commotion and started shouting again.
The person sounded happy.
“Is there anyone up there? Can you rescue me? I’m trapped down there. I can’t go up!”
It sounded like an old grandpa.
Xie Chaochao looked down again, but it was too dark to see anything clearly.
“Who are you? How did you end up here?”
Xie Chaochao found the voice very unfamiliar, but she couldn’t confirm if he was from the Shanbai Village. She was worried that the person inside was a bad guy.
“I took the mountain road and accidentally rolled down! My legs are not convenient, I’m afraid I can’t go up on my own!”
The person inside said, “Little friend, are you alone? Is the adult in your family here? Can he pull me up?”
Initially, he thought that he was rescued. However, a child had come, and she would not be able to pull him up!
“My father is nearby!”
Xie Chaochao lied.
If the person inside was really up to no good, Xie Chaochao would definitely have some misgivings.
“That’s great. Go get your father and ask him to help rescue me!”
The person sounded very happy.
“Grandpa, you haven’t answered my question. Why are you here?”
“I ran here to avoid my enemies!”
The person below replied, “You don’t have to worry. I’m crippled. I can’t hurt you!”
“All you have to do is ask your father to pull me up. I’m really a good person!”
He tried his best to convince Xie Chaochao to call for help. He even tried his best to move to the side so that Xie Chaochao could see his state clearly.
Xie Chaochao saw that the person below was sitting on the ground, but his legs only reached his knees. There was nothing below.
His clothes were still stained with blood.
Xie Chaochao looked at him with some fear. She also felt that this old grandpa was very pitiful.
“How did your legs become like this?”
It seemed to have been cut off by someone.
“Due to some of the things I did, I ended up getting beaten up because I blocked other people’s path to wealth!”
This person sounded indifferent, as if he didn’t care about breaking his legs at all.
“Little friend, look at me now. I don’t have the ability to hurt you. Can you get your father to rescue me?”
Xie Chaochao said, “I can rescue you on my own. Will you really not hurt us?”
