Three Women in the Cage

Xinxin held her breath, her body hidden in the quilt shaking uncontrollably, and every little movement outside became extremely clear!

I only heard a rustling sound outside the window. Someone pulled away a little bit of the window cloth. I knew that there was a pair of evil eyes in the window not far away, peeping at what was going on inside!

She huddled herself tightly together, trying to suppress her shaking body, in an attempt to prevent others from noticing her presence and mistaking her for someone being home!

But those eyes seemed to be able to see through the darkness and everything inside. Along with a teasing low laugh, a rustling sound of footsteps gradually moved away!

After the man left, he and another companion were not far away, mumbling something to each other and making disgusting low laughs from time to time!

After a while, their voices disappeared, and there was no sound outside. Only the cold wind whistled, blowing recklessly in the dark night! I thought to myself that the disgusting two people must have left. I let out a breath in my bed, and my tense body gradually relaxed!

Those two people probably didn't notice her! She thought quietly, but before she had time to think about it, another rustling sound came, and it seemed to be mixed with the sound of a cat's meow!

The rustling sounds, accompanied by the slight meow of a cat, gradually approached the rag window. Someone gently put the cat down. After that, the rustling footsteps gradually disappeared. The cat that was left behind seemed to feel the panic of being abandoned, and seemed unable to bear the biting cold wind, so it screamed sharply in the endless dark abyss outside!

"Meow..." The screams were full of anxiety and panic, like the roar before despair, shrill and continuous...

It cried out loudly, wailing its sorrow in the cold and silent night, as if it had just given birth and then lost its child!

Xinxin didn't know why there was such a cat cry. The cry was full of shrill despair, like a funeral song in the night. In the silent and boundless darkness, the shrill and sad cry made the night seem particularly scary!

She didn't even dare to stick her head out to look, for she was afraid that if she did, a hideous evil ghost would immediately jump out from the darkness and swallow her up in one bite!

She hid tightly in the quilt. She didn't know whether it was because of the cold or the fear, but her vulnerable body suddenly shook like a sieve. Her breathing became extremely difficult, as if she would faint in the next second!

Not far away, the sound of funeral music in the dark night was endless, deeply entwining her eardrums. A faint voice sounded in her ears, "The cat is pulling funeral music..., the cat is pulling funeral music...", making her whole body surrounded by a weird atmosphere.

Suddenly, it seemed as if the outside of the quilt was full of monsters and ghosts, all with bloody mouths wide open, waiting for her to stick her head out so that they could tear her to pieces.

She was so frightened that she was in a trance. She didn't know when her forehead was covered with sweat and her hair was wet. The quilt was hot and cold, making her heart tremble and her teeth chatter.

She was in a daze, half asleep and half awake, and somehow she made it to dawn... She didn't know whether she had slept or not at all.

With the crowing of a rooster, Xinxin finally realized that the cat's meowing outside had turned into the crowing of a rooster. She carefully poked her head out of the quilt, and when she saw the dawn outside, she felt like she was alive again...

Finally escaping from that terrible night, she sat up straight and let out a long breath...

Just as she was relaxing, something suddenly struck her, and she began to feel uneasy again. She'd made it through yesterday, but what about today? She still had another night to go, and she had to make it until tomorrow before she could go to school. What should she do? How was she going to get through tonight? Thinking of that horrible night, she trembled, afraid to face it again! She was afraid she wouldn't make it...

It would be great if my second sister came back. I wonder if she'll be back this weekend? She should be! But why didn't she come back yesterday? Is it because the county is too far away and she's worried about wasting travel money?

That should be the case! But what if she comes back? Maybe she's already on the way, or maybe she'll be home soon!

As she thought about it, she couldn't wait to put on her shoes with anticipation, and went to the window. While being wary of being discovered by people outside, she looked through the torn curtains at the only way home!

I stared at the intersection, begging my sister to appear in the next second. I stared at it without blinking, as if my sister would really appear in the next second!

After staring for a long time, a figure finally emerged from the end. She moved slowly with anxiety and joy, bringing her body closer to the window so that her eyes could be better aimed at the hole, and she watched the slowly emerging shadow without blinking!

However, the next second, a figure appeared, making her feel a surge of despair! It was the figure of a man from the village. The moment she saw him, her face, which had just been filled with disappointment, was then filled with fear. Without time to think, she quickly turned sideways and hid behind the wall, trying to hide her figure from being seen by the man outside!

However, when the man passed by the window in front of the door, she still heard malicious sneer!

It seems like every move I make is being laughed at by others!

But what could she do? She just pretended no one noticed! She was paralyzed!

After there was no more noise outside, she carefully moved to the window again and continued to stare at the intersection. She wanted to wait for her sister to come back and accompany her. With her sister's company, she would not be afraid!

Because her sister is always fearless, in Xinxin's eyes, it seems that as long as she has her sister, she will become strong!

Yes, she must wait for her sister to come back to give her strength. She urgently needs strength and needs someone to save her from the darkness. She places all her hopes on her sister!

However, reality is always cruel. You cannot resist evil spirits by yourself. If you want to rely on the power of others, it is always difficult to get it. Others can never protect you for a lifetime!

She stood in front of the window until her legs and feet were numb and her eyes were sore, but the person she hoped for did not appear. In the end, she never expected the person to save her!

Despair and helplessness surrounded her once again, and tears finally welled up in the corners of her eyes as she cried out in grievance. She suddenly missed her mother so much. With her mother around, she would never be afraid, lonely, or so helpless...

"Mother……"

She whispered softly...

She didn't know how long it had passed, but as it was getting dark again, she became anxious. No, she had to go out. She couldn't stay here. There were evil spirits here...

Yes, go out, escape from here, maybe my sister is on the way, go out to pick her up, she must be on the way...

Xinxin got up from the ground, hurriedly packed her things, put on her schoolbag, and when no one was outside, she quietly went out and locked the door!
