I was actually quite tired that day, so I washed up early and went to bed.

Sheng Xiping and Wang Jianshe made an appointment to go hunting in the mountains the next day.

It was far away, so on the morning of the sixth day of the lunar new year, Sheng Xiping got up early, heated up some food, ate a bite, and then went out to find Wang Jianshe and the others.

Sheng Xiping was dressed neatly, with a gun slung over his shoulder, and was about to open the gate when his dogs started barking.

The sound wasn't a frantic roar upon seeing prey; rather, it was a soft, whimpering sound, almost like it was being affectionate with someone.

Sheng Xiping knew that Gouzi was anxious because he saw that he had changed into his mountain clothes and knew that he was going into the mountains.

That's how hunting dogs are; they don't like to be idle. The further they go up the mountain, the more energetic they become. If they stay at home all the time, they'll become dumber and dumber.

But General Hei's neck injury hadn't fully healed yet, and Sheng Xiping and the others were just going to walk the dogs today, so they didn't plan to bring them along.

It's estimated that Erlang Shen and General Hei have been cooped up at home for too long, because they wagged their tails at Sheng Xiping, stood up and waved their front paws, and made whimpering and whimpering noises from time to time.

Not only Erlang Shen and the Black General, but even the two little puppies, Hua Bao and Pang Hu, are imitating the big dogs, acting cute and charming in various ways.

Goodness, with their adorable and ingratiating manner, no one could resist them.

Helpless, Sheng Xiping glanced at the open door and could only turn back to comfort the dogs.

"Just stay home and behave yourself. We're going to a very far place today, and your injury hasn't fully healed yet. You can't come with us into the mountains."

How could the dogs understand what Sheng Xiping was saying? All they knew was that Sheng Xiping was going up the mountain without them, and that wouldn't do.

So she clung to Sheng Xiping's leg, whimpering all over.
