Xie Zhou carried Xie Chaochao and went down the mountain with the villagers.
He could only confirm what he had found in the hole tomorrow.
Xie Zhou smiled when he saw his daughter sleeping on his shoulder.
After Xie Chaochao had fallen asleep, she subconsciously called out "Daddy".
The incident tonight must have scared the little girl.
He patted his daughter's back gently and coaxed her to sleep.
…
The news that Xie Zhou was safe and sound had spread throughout the entire village by the next morning.
Everyone was shocked.
The news that had spread even more widely was about Xie Chaochao.
The news of Xie Chaochao going into the mountains alone to look for Xie Zhou had spread.
The wind direction in the village had changed.
"This little girl is a lucky star. She has an excellent fate!"
"That's right. Ever since Xie Zhou adopted her and established his own transport team, the villagers have also benefited greatly!"
"Yes, yes. If not for her, Xie Zhou would not have been rescued."
"That's right. I heard from my husband that this little girl was convinced that Xie Zhou was down below and insisted that they dig deeper. That's how he was rescued!"
Xie Chaochao and Xie Zhou ignored the rumors.
When Xie Chaochao went to school again, the attitude of the students and teachers had changed drastically.
Sun Limin treated Xie Chaochao even more like a treasure.
Everyone in the village was saying that Xie Chaochao was a goddess who had descended to the mortal world.
If they looked at her more, they could even have kids sooner!
Many people secretly hung a portrait of Xie Chaochao at home and looked at it all day. They wanted Xie Chaochao to bless them with a precious son.
Sun Limin was very proud.
She did not need to hide the portrait at all. She could see the real person in school all day.
Not only could she see Xie Chaochao, she could also touch her.
She had also hoped to get pregnant sooner.
She had been married for almost a year, yet she was still not pregnant.
She could only place her hopes on Xie Chaochao.
The children in the class had been warned repeatedly by the adults at home.
They must get along well with Xie Chaochao!
She was a goddess. If they angered her, they may suffer.
Xie Chaochao had clearly become the leader of a group of children.
Those children would do whatever she said.
Xie Zhou didn't know about what had happened in school. Otherwise, he would be worried again.
He originally only wanted Xie Chaochao to interact with people more often and become like a child from a regular family.
In the past, Xie Chaochao had never interacted with anyone. She was always surrounded by animals. Now, she was not afraid of any animal she saw.
She simply was not like a girl.
Now, she had gone straight to the school and became a tyrant. She was even more unruly.
However, Xie Zhou had no time to care about what had happened in school.
Later that day, after sending Xie Chaochao to school, he took the little flower snake to the cave where he was trapped.
With the little flower snake leading the way, it was very easy for Xie Zhou to walk around inside.
Moreover, it was daytime and there was some light inside.
Xie Zhou was overjoyed when he saw some blackness on the mountain wall.
As expected, he was right!
There was indeed coal here!
When Xie Zhou was trapped here, he smelled coal.
He walked some more distance and dug deeper. The amount of coal inside increased.
This was truly a blessing in disguise!
Xie Zhou went back and told the transport team about his discovery of the coal mine.
The villagers became overexcited.
If their village had a coal mine, wouldn't they be rich!
