Sentence: "她虎起了臉，推開他的手。", in: 张爱玲。秧歌, page 7.
In this sentence "虎起脸" has the meaning of "take a fierce look" which corresponds to the last of the definitions.
Reference: The Contemporary Chinese Dictionary, FLTRP.

Editor: 虎 means "tiger", /brave/vigorous/ are just (evident) connotations. Is anyone so dense that he has to check a dict to get the meaning of "the Five Tiger Generals"?

虎臉 however is a specific expression, you are right to mention it
Diff:
- 虎 虎 [hu3] /tiger/CL:隻|只[zhi1]/
+ 虎 虎 [hu3] /tiger/CL:隻|只[zhi1]/brave/vigorous/to look ferocious/

Editor: It seems to me, and your example seems to show, that it is about the bareness of the *walls*, and does not imply that
there is nothing *inside* them (i.e. in the room).
