Dong Huiying knew that they, at least for the short term, would not be returning.
Before leaving, she blew a whistle.
Da Bai, though fond of playing in the mountains, chose a spot to play not far from the village.
Dong Huiying told Da Bai that she was leaving and that it might be a very long time before they saw each other again.
Da Bai was a clever tiger, so it heavily nudged Dong Huiying with its head, then trotted away, shaking its large buttocks and swaying tail, following the path it had come by.
Dong Huiying felt a pang of sadness, thinking back to the time at Qingfeng Mountain when Da Bai had kept her company for a very long time. After returning home, even though Da Bai often went out to wander, it frequently came back.
She thought they had developed a bond, and truth be told, she was quite reluctant to part with Da Bai, but this ungrateful creature... ah well, it was all for nothing, feeding it all those good things.
"Let's go!"
