Li Hongchun was hiding in a mountain cave, trembling with fear, nervous and uneasy, not daring to go out.
Daytime was okay; there was some light filtering into the cave, so it wasn't dark, nor cold. But once night fell, the cave was pitch black, you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, and the silence was terrifying.
Li Hongchun was only wearing a short-sleeved dress. She curled up on the dry grass, not sure whether it was the cold or the fear, but she was trembling nonstop.
Suddenly, faint footsteps came from outside the cave.
Li Hongchun's heart instantly leapt into her throat. She opened her terrified eyes and looked toward the cave entrance.
But it was all pitch black in front of her; she couldn't see a thing.
Yet the footsteps were walking step by step into the cave, and there was also a sound like water dripping, following the footsteps, getting closer and closer.
