The next day, Shen Yunfang planned to visit Sister Jiang in the county during the day, so she headed to the mountains early in the morning.
Before she even reached the hillside, Taxue came wagging its tail to greet her.
Shen Yunfang laughed at its silly demeanour and gave it a tap, "Did you watch over everything properly last night? Let me tell you, if another chick dies under your watch, you can say goodbye to your bone feast."
It was as if Taxue understood and it whimpered, then turned and ran up the hillside.
Shen Yunfang watched its retreating back, thinking it ran away after being scolded. However, it wasn't long before Taxue came bounding back, with something in its mouth, wagging its tail back and forth.
As it got closer, she saw that it was holding a rabbit in its jaws, gray and dusty.
