"Alright," Li Baoyu agreed. He gutted the roe deer, cut out its heart, sliced it in half, and tossed it to the dog.
The dog snatched up the roe deer heart and began chewing on it heartily. Even with Zhao Jun standing right next to it, the dog wasn't protective of its food.
Zhao Jun kept sizing up the black dog. It weighed over eighty pounds, with pricked-up ears and a sturdy, block-headed build.
The dog finished the entire roe deer heart, but its owner was still nowhere to be seen. Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu needed to head back, though. Having bagged two roe deer this morning, the trip hadn't been for nothing.
Following their usual routine for lighter game, Li Baoyu started dragging it off by himself.
He turned his back to the roe deer, grabbed its two hind legs, and began to pull it along like a small cart.
But to Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu's surprise, as they started to leave, the black dog got up and began to follow them down the mountain.
