Chapter 242: A Second Search for the Elusive Doctor Cai
The next day at noon, on the plains…
The Daoist passed through two more villages. As usual, he only stopped briefly and did not linger, continuing north along the main road. The calico cat at his side trotted along with small, quick steps.
Suddenly, the cat halted, her ears pricking up as she turned her head to look off into the distance.
This was something the cat did often. While walking, any unusual rustle of the wind or movement in the grass would catch her attention.
Cats have senses and minds different from those of humans, perceiving a world that humans cannot see.
But this time, she paused for a moment longer, then glanced back to find that the Daoist had already walked a fair distance ahead. She immediately sprinted to catch up and said to him, “Someone’s shouting over there!”
“Oh? What are they shouting?”
“They’re shouting loudly... and there are wolves.”
“Hmm?” Song You followed the direction of her gaze.
