Fang Liu asked curiously, “But what about the fact that he hits dogs?”
The little girl shuddered when she heard Fang Liu asking about dogs. After a while, she said, “Da Bao likes abusing animals. He pours hot water into ant nests, plucks feathers from chickens, and uses red-hot tongs to
burn pigs.”
Fang Liu could only shake her head when she heard this. “How can such a young boy be so cruel?”
After telling Fang Liu how Da Bao tortured animals, Chun Ni paused and continued, “B-But something happened later that made me fear Da Bao even more…” The little girl began to tremble as she said this.
“One afternoon, I overate and couldn’t 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.”
“I thought that maybe Da Bao didn’t 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.”
“Golden 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.”
Chun Ni became increasingly anxious as she spoke as if something terrible was about to happen.
“I noticed that Da Bao didn’t kick or chase the dog away like he usually would. Instead, he stretched out his hand and patted the dog’s head. Then I saw Da Bao take something out of his pocket. I think it was a knife.”
Chun Ni’s breathing became frantic.
“Then Da Bao stabbed the dog’s neck! The dog howled in pain and bit Da Bao’s arm, causing him to scream in pain. I-I didn’t 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.”
“When 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!” 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 dog’s head and brought it into the house. Chun Ni also mentioned that she smelled cooked
dog meat coming from Da Bao’s house that night.
Fang Liu was horrified by the little girl’s 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, “It’s okay Chun Ni. Don’t cry.”
When Chun Ni finished crying, she wiped the tears from her face, but she was still teary-eyed as she said, “That dog was so innocent and adorable. It wasn’t 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 Bao’s hand…”
Fang Liu also shed tears for the unfortunate dog.
‘Animals are living creatures with different personalities and emotions. They are as intelligent and perceptive as humans.’
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 man’s house this morning when they had cooked dog meat.
When Chun Ni finally calmed down, she blinked and looked at Fang Liu. “Miss, Da Bao hasn’t been coming to school recently, and he hasn’t even come out to play. What’s wrong with him? Uncle Tang doesn’t allow us to
go near his house either. I find it bizarre.”
Chun Ni was unaware of Da Bao’s 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, “Da Bao is just sick, but he should be okay soon.”
Chun Ni revealed a hateful expression when she heard this. “He deserves to be sick. It’s only fair since he so cruelly killed a dog…” After a short pause, Chun Ni regretted cursing Da Bao. “I never wanted anything bad to
happen to Da Bao, but he went too far then.”
Achill ran down Chun Ni’s spine when she recalled the bloody scene. The scent of the dog’s blood lingered under the tree at the Tang family’s courtyard..
