In front of Zheng Tan were two puppies.
One nestled against Tiger. The other one, that just came running over, began to bite Tiger's ear after a few barks. From the look of it, he was just play biting or else Tiger wouldn't be taking it so calmly.
The three of them seem familiar enough that they must have met before. These two puppies must have arrived in those two days he was gone.
Zheng Tan jumped on a nearby tree. The owner of the two pups should be in the vicinity; he was prepared to find out who they were.
Half an hour later, several old men slowly walked over; two of them had dog leashes in their hands.
Listening to their conversation, Zheng Tan figured out the reason behind the appearance of the puppies.
