Little Flower came panting back to Liu Yang Village with her mouth agape. From a distance, she saw her owner standing on the hillock, looking around. She let out several loud cries, then dashed up quickly, placing her right front leg, wrapped in a white cloth strip, on her owner's arm.
At that time, the moon had not yet risen, and the night was very dark. Little Flower was entirely silver-white, so Mo Yan did not see the white cloth strip on its leg. Seeing that Little Flower didn't have any other objects in its mouth or around its neck, her heart sank, assuming that Xiao Ruiyuan was in a bad state; otherwise, there wouldn't have been a complete absence of an item signaling safety.
In the end, unable to bear it, Little Flower pulled the cloth strip off its leg with its mouth, and gave its owner—who was overjoyed—a silent roll of the eyes!
