Wang Xiaocao's Fast Travel

If you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather.

Soon, Wang Xiaocao became the most redundant one in the family.

Her favorite time was when she was in school and living in the school dormitory. Unfortunately, once the school was on vacation, she had to return to the home where she felt uncomfortable.

As soon as she got home, Wang Xiaocao was met with contempt from her stepmother. Knowing her biological father's inaction, she became even more brazen.

Wang Xiaocao went into her room without saying a word. Except for eating, she would not go out unless she had to. This was the experience she had accumulated over the past few years.

There is no place for her in this family anymore.

To be honest, this kind of life is not something a child can bear.

Until one day, she accidentally learned about the Harry Potter series of books in the library, which became her only motivation to persevere.

The protagonist in Harry Potter lived in his aunt's house when he was a child, and a dirty cupboard full of spider webs under the stairs was his bedroom. She was no exception, her bedroom was a small storage room on the first floor, which was filled with a lot of unused sundries at home, and there was nothing about her except a makeshift small bed.

Therefore, she always thought that she would be like the protagonist, suffering first but then enjoying happiness, and finally having a new life.

As usual, Wang Xiaocao stayed in the dark room, in a daze.

Suddenly, a loud noise broke the silence. Through the shabby window, she vaguely saw a panicked crowd, gesticulating with their teeth and claws, and the sound of chaotic footsteps was endless. What on earth happened?

Her window was not big, and there were several wooden boards nailed on it, so she could only look outside through a tiny gap and could not see anything clearly.

One day, when she came back from school, the window looked like this. This scene is so familiar, I believe everyone who has seen "Harry Potter" knows the significance of its appearance.

What can you see from a window like this? Nothing but a blurry figure flashing by. But one thing is for sure, something must have happened outside!

Compared to his eyes, Wang Xiaocao's hearing is better. After all, he spends all year in a dim room, relying entirely on his ears to pay attention to every little movement outside.

She heard hurried footsteps upstairs, there were a lot of them, there must be a lot of passers-by coming in. At first, she could hear all kinds of noises, such as crying, cursing, praying, etc., but in the end, they all stopped abruptly with various exclamations.

Afterwards, the whole world became quiet. Except for the sound of my own breathing and heartbeat, everything came to a sudden stop.

Just when she thought she was the only one left in the world, she slowly began to feel other breathing sounds and heartbeats. The feeling of deliberately not making any sound was like someone covering her nose with her hands, and it was her own hand that was doing it.

She didn't know anything, but the only thing she was sure of was that the situation outside was terrible. So, she didn't dare to act rashly. Fortunately, the good news was: hiding in the house was the safest.

Of course, she would not sit still and wait for death. If it really came to a life-and-death situation, she would definitely be the first one to be abandoned.

Wang Xiaocao sorted out her things. Apart from a schoolbag, she had nothing valuable. Her weekly living expenses were minimal, only enough for a dish and a soup of the worst choice for daily meals. Of course, the soup was free. In the end, the few dollars she saved from her frugal life were all used for the fare to go home. She barely made ends meet and had no money left.

Once driven out, she would have only one ending: death.

Wang Xiaocao was silent for a long time, and suddenly felt so powerless. She couldn't do anything at all. The only thing she could ask for was that her father could have a little conscience. After all, even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs. Maybe the situation wasn't as bad as she imagined?

But soon, she denied her guess, saying it was just self-consolation.

Although the storage room is dark, when the sun rises, the sunlight will shine through the gaps in the window, and it is always there.

But from that moment on, the sun never rose.
