Fang Liu asked curiously, âBut what about the fact that he hits dogs?â
The little girl shuddered when she heard Fang Liu asking about dogs. After a while, she said, âDa Bao likes abusing animals. He pours hot water into ant nests, plucks feathers from chickens, and uses red-hot tongs to
burn pigs.â
Fang Liu could only shake her head when she heard this. âHow can such a young boy be so cruel?â
After telling Fang Liu how Da Bao tortured animals, Chun Ni paused and continued, âB-But something happened later that made me fear Da Bao even moreâ¦â The little girl began to tremble as she said this.
âOne afternoon, I overate and couldnât sleep, so I ran outside to play. I was collecting some pretty pebbles by the pond when I saw Da Bao coming out with a bowl of food.â
âI thought that maybe Da Bao didnât have a place to spit out the bones from his food, so he came outside to eat. Anyway, he squatted under the tree and started eating when a dog ran over from nearby. My uncle has a
few dogs, and I recognized that it was a Golden Retriever.â
âGolden Retrievers usually like being close to humans, so the dog walked over when it saw Da Bao. Also, Da Bao was eating, spitting out a pile of bones on the ground, so the dog went over and started eating the bones.â
Chun Ni became increasingly anxious as she spoke as if something terrible was about to happen.
âI noticed that Da Bao didnât kick or chase the dog away like he usually would. Instead, he stretched out his hand and patted the dogâs head. Then I saw Da Bao take something out of his pocket. I think it was a knife.â
Chun Niâs breathing became frantic.
âThen Da Bao stabbed the dogâs neck! The dog howled in pain and bit Da Baoâs arm, causing him to scream in pain. I-I didnât dare to look back to see what happened after that. I heard a commotion, so I assumed that Da
Bao was probably wrestling with the dog.â
âWhen it finally quieted down, I looked up, and Da Bao was covered in blood. He took a kitchen knife and slashed it at the struggling dog!â Chun Ni started crying after saying this. Chun Ni began to cry after saying this.
At that time, Chun Ni was in so much shock that she forgot to close her eyes, so she saw the aftermath of the frightening scene.
Chun Ni was so frightened by what she saw that she trembled uncontrollably. She could only watch as Da Bao picked up the dogâs head and brought it into the house. Chun Ni also mentioned that she smelled cookedn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
dog meat coming from Da Baoâs house that night.
Fang Liu was horrified by the little girlâs story and began to breathe frantically. When she saw that Chun Ni had started crying, she held the little girl in her arms and comforted, âItâs okay Chun Ni. Donât cry.â
When Chun Ni finished crying, she wiped the tears from her face, but she was still teary-eyed as she said, âThat dog was so innocent and adorable. It wasnât a stray dog. Someone had raised it, which was why it was so
trusting toward humans. At that time, it even stuck out its tongue to lick Da Baoâs handâ¦â
Fang Liu also shed tears for the unfortunate dog.
âAnimals are living creatures with different personalities and emotions. They are as intelligent and perceptive as humans.â
Moreover, that dog trusted humans, but it died at the hands of a human, Da Bao. Its head was separated from its body, and the boy also ate its meat and flesh.
Fang Liu became nauseated when she thought of how she had entered the older manâs house this morning when they had cooked dog meat.
When Chun Ni finally calmed down, she blinked and looked at Fang Liu. âMiss, Da Bao hasnât been coming to school recently, and he hasnât even come out to play. Whatâs wrong with him? Uncle Tang doesnât allow us to
go near his house either. I find it bizarre.â
Chun Ni was unaware of Da Baoâs condition, and Fang Liu had no intention of telling her. If the little girl found out that Da Bao could only bark, Chun Ni would probably think it was because Da Bao had killed a dog and
ate its meat.
Fang Liu only vaguely explained, âDa Bao is just sick, but he should be okay soon.â
Chun Ni revealed a hateful expression when she heard this. âHe deserves to be sick. Itâs only fair since he so cruelly killed a dogâ¦â After a short pause, Chun Ni regretted cursing Da Bao. âI never wanted anything bad to
happen to Da Bao, but he went too far then.â
Achill ran down Chun Niâs spine when she recalled the bloody scene. The scent of the dogâs blood lingered under the tree at the Tang familyâs courtyard..
