"Sister, what are you doing?"
Hua Li rubbed his sleepy eyes and just came out of the house, he saw Hua Shi's back hurriedly heading towards the backyard, and subconsciously called out.
Hua Shi ignored him, her mind completely focused on the spot in the backyard.
The villagers just now spoke in such a miraculous way that from their body language to their expressions, they didn't seem to be lying. She had to pay attention to all these signs.
Adding to the speculations in his heart, Hua Shi became even more uneasy. He couldn't feel at ease unless he went to the backyard to see it with his own eyes...
Hua Li stood there in a daze and blinked.
He was just about to ask how his second brother was doing...
Forget it, let him go in and take a look himself.
In the early morning, the bamboo forest swayed, and a layer of hazy white mist permeated the air, which was cold and desolate, and the chill penetrated into the bones.
When walking on the sticky bamboo path during the flowering season, you can clearly hear the sound of the dense bamboos on both sides swaying in the spring breeze.
She was nervous, so she walked quickly and headed straight for the fish pond.
This was the first time she went to the backyard to see the fish pond after returning from Taohua Town.
Before she left, she deliberately diluted a lot of spring water, dug a hole next to the pond, covered it with wooden boards and wet sticky soil and grass, and left a small hole to allow the spring water to flow into the fish pond.
With so many things happening at home, Hua Xiao and the others probably haven't been to the backyard to see the fish in the pond for a long time.
When Hua Shi thought of the missing tiger, his first instinct was that if it followed the scent, the most likely place it would be would be near this pond.
Because under the blessing of the spring water, any sensitive animal would be attracted to this fish pond...
After all, the thing is clearly displayed in front of you, so how could you not come over?
Following the bamboo tube and bypassing the bamboo fence, Hua Shi quickly reached the edge of the pond. He looked around and found it was quiet and he didn't see anything strange.
Could it be that she guessed wrong...? Was it just an accident? ...
Just as this thought flashed through my mind, a soft cat meow suddenly came from the corner ahead, an area surrounded by weeds and fences.
"Meow……"
The long and continuous cat meow was completely different from Xiao Hei's usual meow. It sounded more like the meow of a female cat in heat.
Hua Shi paused, then walked towards the direction of the cat's meow, feeling hesitant.
Because of the special nature of the fish pond, she had the good fortune to cut down some bamboo and deliberately enclosed the pond. Therefore, the fish pond was surrounded by a solid bamboo fence. Unless it was a flying bird, some night cats and wild dogs would not be able to get in.
The cry now did not seem to come from across the fence, but rather as if it had drilled a hole in the fence and squeezed in.
“Meow…”
The cat hiding in the dense weeds seemed to hear the approaching footsteps, and its meows became a little panic as if it was alert.
Hua Shi squatted down at a distance and reached out to push away the weeds that blocked his view. A big cat with orange-yellow hair appeared.
It looked like an orange cat, very beautiful, with a pair of big, blinking golden eyes looking at her in fear and panic. Its subconscious movement of shrinking outside the fence and its somewhat messy fur showed that it was a homeless stray cat.
"Where did the cat come from?"
Hua Shi muttered to himself and saw that the fence was indeed torn into pieces, as if it had been torn to pieces by something with sharp claws.
This big orange cat came in through this gap.
"Meow……"
The orange cat blinked its smart big eyes, and its eyelids twitched slightly in a place that Hua Shi didn't notice.
If you see it when it is in bloom, you will easily find that it is a pair of smart and calculating eyes.
The big orange cat seemed to sense that Hua Shi had no ill intentions, and its originally flustered movements changed. When Hua Shi reached out her hand, the cat gently rubbed the back of her hand with its furry head.
"Meow……"
Hua Shi was very considerate and touched its head, then let go and turned away. After a while, he brought some short pieces of bamboo and patched up the small hole.
The big orange cat squatted not far from her, curiously observing her every move. Until the hole was repaired, it seemed to realize something was wrong, rushed over, and scratched the repaired place with its claws.
“Meow meow meow…!”
It shouted anxiously at Hua Shi.
Hua Shi looked at the dog scratching its claws anxiously, and found it a little funny. His suppressed mood also eased a lot. "You only remember to run now? It's too late."
“Meow meow meow…!!”
The big orange cat seemed not to understand what she said and kept scratching that place. It even turned back to look at her, as if signaling her to open the hole.
Hua Shi ignored it and confirmed again that there was nothing unusual around. Then he squatted down and picked up the big cat.
The big orange cat flew into the air in an instant, with a panic expression on its face, and then quickly calmed down.
Hua Shi thought of carrying it outside the fence. The pond with fish was sealed on all sides, so if she wanted to go out, she could only go out through the open door.
However, before she reached the gate of the fence, a strange noise suddenly came from behind her, and then, before she could react what was happening,
“Crack!”
There was a loud muffled sound, like the sound of a fence being broken by something heavy.
Then, driven by inertia, the broken fence fell directly into the fish pond in the middle, making a few clear sounds of falling into the water...
When Hua Shi turned around, the scene she saw almost made her heart stop...
