He thought that there couldn’t be a snake in the wine cup. So he went to inspect the place where they had the drink and eventually found the cause:

on the wall of the hall hung a colourful bow, the shadow of which happened to throw exactly at the place where his friend had put his wine cup.

原来，在大厅的墙上，挂着一张彩色的弓，弓的影子正好映在朋友放酒杯的地方。

Yue Guang hurried to his friend’s home and told him about this.
