It really is a deer, but not quite a deer.
Although it sounds awkward, Fu Qian felt it was the most accurate description of the current situation.
The scene behind the door matched perfectly with the sounds heard from outside earlier.
In a strangely shaped building, there indeed lay a coiled-up deer.
As Fu Qian opened the door, it even opened its eyes to look over.
Here the measure word is used appropriately, it really is "a strip".
Up front is a large head, and especially larger than the head itself, a classically shaped set of antlers.
And further down, there's a long, elegant neck, strong and robust forelegs...
Strong and robust forelegs...
Strong and robust forelegs...
Strong and robust to the point you can't tell forelegs from hind legs...
Indeed, the deer's body is disproportionate to the head, clearly more than ten deer head to tail would make such a scale, with an exaggerated number of hooves.
