An Xi watched from a distance, feeling quite scared herself. After a moment's thought, she turned back into the house to grab something like a shovel to drive away those dogs.
Before she could come out, Gu Liangjun, having run too hastily, had already tumbled to the ground in a heap.
Seeing Gu Liangjun fall, the three dogs that had been chasing him suddenly stopped in their tracks.
They just stood there, about a meter away from him, watching.
The duck in his hands struggled (quack quack quack) quite a bit before it took the opportunity of his loosened grip to make a break for it.
Seeing the duck escape, the three dogs that had followed also gave chase to the duck.
Gu Liangjun was speechless. So he had been chased by those dogs because of this duck?
Feeling utterly humiliated, he was seething inside, but unable to vent his anger.
[Oh no, Gu Liangjun has just given us a perfect demonstration of what 'a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush' really means!]
