Three Women in the Cage

In the blink of an eye, Xinxin is two years old, and Yaya and Huanhuan are about to reach school age, which means they need tuition fees.

Zhang Erfa had no intention of sending his daughters to school, but he could not stand Yang Yu's soft and hard tactics, so he had no choice but to plan to go there to make money.

It just so happened that there was a recent craze for working, so Yang Yu asked him to find out if he could go out with them and get a job!

It just so happened that Zhang Sanmao also wanted to go out and make some money, so he and Zhang Erfa went to visit relatives in another village.

That relative had just returned from working outside the province, and he said he had some connections. Considering that he was a distant relative of Zhang's father, he agreed to let Zhang Erfa and Zhang Sanmao go out to work with him two years later!

His younger son was about the same age as them and had similar interests and hobbies. From then on, he often came to play with the two brothers.

Once, he came with a handmade slingshot and asked Zhang Erfa to go bird hunting in the mountains together. Zhang Erfa wanted his father to take him out to work after the New Year, so he felt embarrassed to refuse and readily agreed.

Huanhuan was full of curiosity as she looked at what they had in their hands. She also wanted to go and watch the bird hunting, so she quietly followed behind.

When Zhang Erfa saw Huanhuan following him, he instinctively wanted to yell at her to go back. The young man looked at the pretty and well-behaved little girl and found it interesting, so he asked Zhang Erfa to take her with him!

Zhang Erfa had no choice but to let her follow him. When they passed by Zhang Sanmao's house, he called him and they set off towards the mountain.

At this time, the birds in the forest were resting on the branches everywhere. When someone approached, they would fly away in fright from time to time. It was a good place to shoot birds.

The young man pulled the slingshot towards a bird perched on a tree, squinted his eyes, and after taking aim, he loosened his hand. The force of the slingshot wrapped around the flying stone and "whoosh" went straight towards the bird!

With a "bang", something fell to the ground. Everyone ran over and screamed, "Ah!"

"Hit! Hit!"

Zhang Erfa picked up the bird on the ground and cried out in surprise.

Huanhuan ran slowly, following their figures closely from behind.

They were obviously so excited that they had forgotten about the little man.

After a while, there were several more slingshot sounds coming from the front, followed by the sounds of falling birds one after another, and the sounds of people running to pick up the fallen birds.

Everywhere were the sounds of startled birds flying up and the joyful cheers of people after they shot down the birds.

Slowly, Huanhuan lost track of them. They were chasing the fleeing birds, running after them excitedly.

After a while, their voices gradually faded away in her ears, and the surroundings were so quiet as if no one had ever set foot here. In a trance, she felt that there had never been any trace of other people here, and she was like a lost person who had accidentally entered a strange place!

She looked around in confusion, not knowing which direction to go. She tried to go back in the direction she came from, but when she looked up at the jungle surrounding her, she couldn't tell which way was back!

I don't know how long I stood there motionless, when suddenly several startled birds flew over from the treetops above my head. I looked up and saw them chirping in panic.

She thought that these birds might have been frightened back by the slingshot and were hesitating there, not knowing where to fly to avoid the attack of the slingshot.

How are they similar to me, both confused and not knowing where to go?

She stared at them blankly, forgetting to move, and just stared at them for a long time with her head raised.

Suddenly, there was a "whoosh" sound, and something came from far away with a strong roar, startling a flock of birds wherever it went.

Before Huanhuan could take a closer look, what was that powerful thing? Suddenly, a flying stone appeared in front of her eyes, with irresistible force, heading straight towards her right eye!

She seemed to be fixed in place, unable to move an inch. She kept her eyes wide open, watching the flying rock in front of her grow bigger and bigger until it finally exploded with a loud "bang".

She saw a flower of blood in front of her eyes, with crimson hot liquid splashing everywhere, the most gorgeous thing she had ever seen!

At the moment she fell down, she seemed to hear a voice calling her, "Hanhuan..."

Before she could hear the source of the sound, her eyes closed without any more strength!

Zhang Erfa was the first to notice Huanhuan lying down. He rushed over in panic and was shocked by the scene in front of him!

Huanhuan's right eye was hit by a flying stone from a slingshot, and a large amount of bright red blood spurted out from around her eyeball, covering her entire face. The blood was splashed everywhere by the impact of the strong stone.

Her body and the surrounding grass were all stained with blood. Huanhuan lay there quietly, covered in blood, like a lifeless doll.

He was so scared that he didn't even have the courage to go forward and check the breath. He hesitated there, frowning, at a loss as to what to do.

Soon the young man and Zhang Sanmao also rushed over. Looking at the situation in front of them, they were a little panicked for a moment.

Zhang Sanmao was brave after all. Seeing that his second brother was obviously frightened, he had to take a step forward and first checked Huanhuan's breath, feeling a weak breath.

Excitedly shouting "Quick, send him to the town hospital!"

He picked up Huanhuan, who was covered in blood, and rushed back. Only then did Zhang Erfa come to his senses and hurriedly follow the young man.

The town was quite far away, and when they arrived, the doctor at the hospital had already gone off work. There were only a few nurses on duty. Seeing that the child was in an urgent condition, they hurriedly took the child inside to clean and bandage him without delay.

He was then given intravenous fluids again, and it wasn't until midnight that his condition stabilized. The nurse asked them to wait until the next day to ask the doctor for details. To be on the safe side, they stayed until the doctor came to work.

After personally examining Huanhuan's right eye, the doctor shook his head and said, "This kind of injury is inside the eye. Our hospital's skills are limited. We can only clean and bandage the outside. For the inside wound, you should go to the county hospital!"

"In this case, I advise you to get checked out as soon as possible to avoid any sequelae later. If you delay, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get treatment later!"

The young man was also very scared, wondering how his father would deal with him if he knew about it.

He now just wanted to evade responsibility and could not agree to it. If he had to blame someone, he should blame Zhang Erfa for not raising the child well. He was originally hunting birds in the mountains, and she followed him here.

Don’t blame yourself!

"Brother Erfa! I've stayed here long enough. It's time to go back, otherwise my father will come looking for me. You guys take good care of my niece here, and I'll leave first?" said the young man, who obviously wanted to slip away.

Zhang Erfa had been in a daze the entire time, with no awareness of pursuing responsibility. When he heard what the young man said, he thought without a second thought that it was a waste of time to stay here with others.

So he agreed without hesitation.

The young man was stunned at first when he saw Zhang Erfa was so easy to talk to. After he realized what was going on, he ran away.

Zhang Sanmao looked at Zhang Erfa in surprise. He looked down on his second brother, but he didn't expect that Zhang Erfa could be so naive.

I thought to myself that since he didn't care, why should I get involved? Besides, I had to ask the young man's father to take them out to work after the New Year.

If this gets out of hand and causes unpleasantness, then all the subsequent things will be ruined. After thinking about it, I won’t say anything more!
