Three Women in the Cage

Chapter 209: Shock-Trance

Being wary of running into villagers, Xinxin quickly crossed the village and came to the next village. Fortunately, she didn't run into any scary evil spirits, and she felt relieved.

Following the intersection of the next village, she set foot on the road back to school. Of course, this was also the road her sister took home. She stepped on the muddy field ridges, walking slowly, trying to meet her sister in front!

However, after walking along one winding path after another, she still didn't see any trace of her sister. She kept thinking that maybe she would meet her on the next path.

With a nervous heart, she walked all the paths, but she didn't see her sister at all. A wave of disappointment swept through her body. She knew that her sister would not come back today.

She had reached the end of the road and could go no further. She stopped and looked up in confusion, only to realize that she had reached the school gate without knowing when!

Looking at the closed school gate, she felt lost. What should she do next?

Should I go back? Or should I stay at this cold door? What am I doing here? Seeking someone's pity? No, I don't want to be a pitiful person!

She turned around in panic, looking at the road she came from, hesitating whether to go back. However, even after exhausting all her strength, she was unable to set foot on the road full of evil spirits.

In a hurry, she set out on the road to the market and walked along the road in panic.

As I walked, I arrived at the market without realizing it. I looked around and found that the place that was usually full of noise was now desolate and deserted, with no trace of human habitation.

She stood there in a trance, like a body without a soul, hoping that someone could understand her sadness. However, no one understood her. Only this strange breath surrounded and melted her deeply!

She stood there for an unknown amount of time. As the sky grew darker, she couldn't help but wonder where to go next. Should she go back home? Or sleep on the streets?

She hesitated, torn between two thoughts. It would be nice to sleep on the streets like this. At least she wouldn't have to face those terrifying demons. But could she really do that? No, she couldn't. She would become the center of attention, receiving all sorts of strange looks. That feeling would be suffocating. And if she told her mother, she wouldn't know how she would lecture her. It would embarrass her and bring shame to the family.

No, I can't do that. It will bring trouble to my family. But what should I do? What should I do?

I thought and thought, but I still couldn't figure it out. In the end, I had no choice but to set out on the road home with bitterness, despair and helplessness, and with difficult steps.

She walked home in a daze. Every step she took felt like walking on a blade. The suppressed pain wrapped around her so deeply that even breathing became difficult.

However, no matter how uncomfortable she felt, the end would always come and the place of fear would always have to be faced.

Finally, when darkness completely enveloped the earth, she returned to her home, which was filled with coldness, silence and no breath of air.

He opened the door gently, slipped into the house quietly, and then hurriedly and quickly bolted the door from the inside, as if an evil spirit would rush in the next moment.

She didn't know that she would end up in such an embarrassing state when she returned home like a thief.

I must not let my family know about this. They will definitely say that I am timid, especially my mother. If she knew, I wonder how she would criticize me. Would she criticize me like she did Zhang Erfa, and crush my dignity to the ground?

She knew she was unbearable, and that she was full of the shadow of Zhang Erfa's cowardice, but what could she do? She didn't want to be like this, but she couldn't control herself. The inherited cowardice and unbearableness made it impossible for her to break free...!

She hated herself for being like this and didn't want to become like this, but she couldn't do it.

Thinking about how her mother always criticized Zhang Erfa in front of outsiders and them, with the disgust and hatred in her eyes, she felt a little scared.

No, she couldn't let her mother know how cowardly she was inside, because her mother would dislike and hate her because of Zhang Erfa.

The mother will feel that she is useless and unable to realize the hopes that her mother has placed on her. In that case, she will feel that she has cultivated a wasted seed.

That look of disappointment would bury her deeply, which was even more terrifying than death!

No, I can't do that. Xinxin forced herself to be brave and secretly swore in her heart that she would never tell her mother or even her family about her fear!

After making up her mind, she staggered to the bedroom, put down her schoolbag, took out the uneaten bread from it, and ate it voraciously.

After eating, I lay on the bed and begged that there would be no more annoying people and annoying voices today.

However, some people are born evil, never act like good people, and do not care about other people's fears. They tease others unscrupulously!

Sure enough, not long after, Xinxin nestled in bed and heard two familiar voices again.

They still came to the window teasingly, uttering a few sneering laughs and making strange noises from time to time!

Xinxin paralyzed herself by saying, "They can't see me, they can't see me," but her body was shaking uncontrollably.

Looking at the shaking black shadow, the two men let out a foul laugh, and then one of them felt unsatisfied and walked to the front door, knocking on the door panel anxiously with his hands.

Hearing the urgent knocks on the door, Xinxin panicked and listened vigilantly to the movements outside, fearing that the door panel would suddenly collapse, allowing the evil spirit to rush in and tear her to pieces! She forced herself to hold all her breath, not allowing herself to make any sound, so that the person would realize that there was no one inside and leave on their own.

However, not only did the man not leave, he also used something to turn the door panel. Listening to the faint turning sound, her heart couldn't stop beating wildly, "bang bang bang", as if it would burst through her chest in the next second.

She was so alert that she even forgot to breathe. For a moment, she wished that everything was just hallucination, that there was no movement outside, and that everything was just an illusion.

However, the incessant sound kept reminding her that everything was so real, not an auditory hallucination or an illusion.

She was convulsing, as if she would faint at any second.

However, perhaps because he heard her inner cry or something else, the continuous and urgent knocking on the door and the sound of turning the doorknob suddenly stopped!

It seemed as if the man was just playing a prank to scare her, or maybe he suddenly had a change of heart. In any case, the sound suddenly disappeared, and everything returned to deathly silence!

Despite this, she didn't have the courage to go down and see what was going on. She could only hide tightly in the quilt, waiting for dawn in shock and fear. Yes, only when dawn came could she escape from here temporarily and return to school!

She couldn't wait to go back. She had never thought that there was a place where she could be reborn!

She just waited and hoped, and seemed to be falling into a deep sleep in a trance, but a familiar sharp whine woke her up from her half-sleep!

She suddenly opened her eyes and listened to the familiar voice in her ears, then she realized that the cat that she had not seen last night was placed under the windowsill again. It cried miserably and desperately once again. The shrill cries made the night fall into a strange and terrifying atmosphere. She was frightened and dazed, and didn't know whether she was alive or dead...
