Chapter 189: The Old Woman
Hearing this, Hu Rui'an and the others immediately gathered around and looked in the direction Li Musheng was pointing.
After a moment, Shen Anran was the first to speak, "All the claw marks here face upward, with none facing down. That means the large cat has been climbing up the wall here regularly."
As she spoke, she followed the claw marks upward with her eyes and noticed that up on the wooden beam above the small hall, a hole was faintly concealed.
At that moment, the large cat, which had been lying outside the hall, appeared behind the group without anyone noticing, and let out a sudden meow.
Wu Shang and Cheng Zhong, who had been listening intently to Shen Anran and staring at the claw marks, both gave a startled jump.
They spun around at the same time, caught a glimpse of the solidly built black cat behind them, and watched as it sauntered past them with great self-importance.
Then that body, which was roughly the size of a country dog, leaped up lightly, planted its feet on the claw marks in the wall, and bounced up to the beam in a few bounds.
Only then did the large cat turn its head and look down at the group below, letting out a meow.
