Guai Bao, without any hesitation and recognizing Song Tan as someone likely to feed him, opened his mouth and successfully seized half of the cucumber.
Sibao managed to snag the cucumber in his mouth and quickly retreated a step, while Sanbao and Wubao, who had been silently watching, eagerly rushed forward, resulting in the three dogs jostling together on the ridge.
Barking and howling ensued, creating quite a commotion.
It was only then that Boss Niu came to his senses. He first stared at the empty palm of his hand, numbly chewing on the last bite of the cucumber he had left, before turning back without hesitation to where the old cucumber vines were.
"Forget about searching!" Song Tan burst into laughter: "What month do you think it is? How could there be any more cucumbers? These vines were only left because no one had the time to pull them out!"
