Chapter 318: He Could Only Be Drowned

…

Hilla couldn’t help but frown as she looked at the strange figure lying in the carriage.

They had saved him, but they didn’t know this person at all. They didn’t know if there would be any problems if he was here.

Hilla muttered in her heart. “Although my kick was not fatal, this thin and weak person seemed to faint because of long-term malnutrition.”

“Horton has checked him. He is just temporarily unconscious and is not in danger.” Bruce seemed to be worried that Hilla would be afraid and comforted her.

When he woke up, they would just compensate him. However, this person was lying here and not getting up. It was really troublesome.

Hilla looked at him carefully. The man’s cheeks were thin and sallow, and his facial features were delicate. He was not tall, and his lips were covered with gorgeous lipstick. In addition, he was wrapped in a mosquito net and had a long wig. It was easy to be recognized as a ghost.

Even if he wasn’t a lunatic, his brain wouldn’t be normal.

Hilla was sizing up the man on the bed. However, the man who was originally unconscious suddenly opened his eyes. Hilla was caught off guard and directly fell into Bruce’s arms.

“He is awake.”

Hilla grabbed Bruce’s clothes tightly. Although she knew that the person in front of her was not a ghost, she was more afraid of lunatics than ghosts.

A trace of displeasure flashed through Bruce’s deep eyes.

It was fine if his brain wasn’t normal. But he couldn’t scare Bruce’s woman.

“Help … help me.”

As soon as the man opened his eyes, he looked extremely excited. However, when he thought of the kick on his chest, the man restrained himself.

He saw Hilla staring at the clothes on his body with disgust. The man quickly said nervously, “I am not a lunatic. “I was kidnapped by a human trafficker. “I am not a villager here. Please help me.”

Hilla originally felt that this man was abnormal, but now she felt that this entire town was abnormal.

She had heard of human traffickers. She also knew about human trafficking, but she had only heard of women and children being trafficked. She had never heard of men being trafficked.

Moreover, this town actually bought men. Their tastes were really weird.

She was shocked.

“I really did not lie to you. I was really sold here.”

When the man saw that they did not speak and had a look of disbelief on their faces, he immediately became anxious.

After saying that, he began to take off his clothes.

Seeing that he was pulling off the mosquito net, Hilla was afraid that he would expose his body, so she quickly closed her eyes and threw herself into Bruce’s arms.

The man pulled off half of the mosquito net, revealing the undershirt underneath, which was loose and worn out. He had worn it for a long time.

The man carefully tore open the edge of his vest and pulled out a strip of cloth from it.

Bruce took a look and saw that the cloth was embroidered with a name and a phone number.

“Frank.”

“This is my name. The phone number is … my mother’s.”

Frank revealed an awkward expression. It was obvious that he had some conflict with his mother.

Bruce was not interested in other people’s family affairs. Of course, it was not his style to leave him in the lurch.

“Call the police.”

“No, don’t call the police.”

Frank interrupted Bruce’s proposal. Seeing the doubt on their faces, he nervously said while shivering.

“There are many children like me in the town. They are all bought to be the son-in-law in their teens. Almost every household in the town has such a child. They are in collusion with each other. When the police come, they will hide some children.”

When the police left, the people who were hidden would have a harder time.

“You’re saying that the people in this town are buying teenage boys as their sons-in-law?”

Hilla had a calm expression on her face. She had heard of people buying wives and children, but she had never heard of anyone buying a son-in-law.

She believed that someone would buy a baby that was a few months old as a son, but it was too unbelievable to buy a man who was about twenty years old as a husband.

Was it so hard for the woman to marry?

Seeing the embarrassment on Hilla’s face, Frank was a little anxious.

“Everything I said is true. There is a curse in this town. The women in town can’t get married. So the men all left the town.

“The woman had no choice but to buy a man home.”

Therefore, most of the men in this town were bought.

And the ones in charge of their family in Butterfly Town were women.

Hearing this, Hilla was stunned, and it took her a long time to realize that Frank was a husband bought by someone.

“How long have you been here?”

“Eight years. I was sold here at eighteen. Last month, the woman who bought me died. According to the customs of this town, if the wife is dead, a husband like me who was bought should marry the wife’s sister. If the wife doesn’t have a sister, the husband would be drowned in a pig cage.

“When that woman died, I took advantage of the chaos to hide and avoided this disaster.”

He could not run far on his own and might be discovered at any time in the town, so he could only pretend to be a ghost in the town.

The woman who bought him was in poor health and could not give birth, so he had lived an inhuman life for the past eight years. His body was smaller than the average man, and no one would find out if he pretended to be a woman.

Moreover, there were many women in this town, and with this legend, no one came out in the town at night.

Listening to Frank’s explanation, Hilla felt as if she had entered another world, and this world had been turned upside down.

Weren’t those who were drowned in pig cages all those unruly women? It turned out that the town cared more about the chastity of men.

After the shock, Hilla suddenly wanted to laugh, but seeing Frank’s miserable encounter, she held back.

Hilla moved closer to Bruce, “This town sounds quite interesting!”

Bruce thought, “But you were so afraid and insisted on leaving just now.”

“No, hurry up and leave. Now … I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave either.”

Frank looked up and saw the tower lights in the middle of the village.

There were lights of patrolling towers every night, and the tower lights could illuminate the entire village.

Their two limousines were so eye -catching that they had probably been discovered the moment they arrived around the town.

No one came over until now. The villagers probably didn’t know who they were. The limousines just stopped outside the town and had no intention of entering the town.

“How do you know we can’t leave?”

“There’s no signal tower here.” There was no way to call here.

However, there was Wi-Fi in their limousine. Bruce glanced at his phone and quickly sent something out.

“The villagers here are all rude and unreasonable, with poor education and little information.”

To put it bluntly, the women here were like female tigers, unreasonable!

The weak men like him would only be eaten when they entered the town.

Therefore, they must learn to protect themselves when they went out!

…

Hilla glanced out of the window. As expected, there was a tall lighthouse in the middle of the village. There seemed to be people patrolling on the lighthouse.

It seemed that the village would be observed every day to prevent the people in the village from getting lost or running outside to call the police.

When the light from the lighthouse shone over, Frank nervously rolled to the bottom of the limousine.

During the past few days, the villagers believed that there was a female ghost in the town. No one dared to come out, so Frank could come out every night to find something to eat in the trash can.

“Should we leave this place first?”

After hesitation, Hilla felt that it would be safer for them to leave this place and find a police station. After all, they didn’t know what was going on in this town. Since the tradition had lasted for hundreds of years, it would be difficult to clean it up in a short time.

In addition, this town was robbing men, but they did not know how they would treat women.

Hilla could fight, but they were outnumbered. What was more, she would feel embarrassed if she injured the ordinary villagers.

“I’m afraid we won’t be able to leave now.”

Frank looked at the patrolling lights outside the window and sighed. Once the sunset, the roads around the town would be sealed.

If they wanted to leave, they could only wait until the next morning unless they had a document from the mayor.

However, it was not easy to leave during the day. Because the town was located in a mountainous area, very few people came over. There were only two ways out.

There were sentry posts in every corner of the town. Although no one checked when they entered the town, they had to be thoroughly investigated when they went out.

When Frank saw that their limousine did not enter the town, he had great hope.

He had spent a lot of effort on this female ghost’s appearance.

“Since we can’t leave, then rest assured.”

Bruce calmly cleaned the bed Frank had laid on and pulled Hilla onto the bed.

Anyway, the people in this town weren’t chasing after them. As long as they threw Frank on the street tomorrow morning, they could leave.

When Frank saw that he was being disliked, he immediately shrunk pitifully into the seat and said nervously, “You guys … won’t just leave me to die, right?”

After so many years, there were very few people who came to the town to travel, and this town was even poorer without income.

Because they were too poor, the men were getting worse and worse.

There were even men who didn’t even have enough to eat every day and had to do all the housework.

As for a family with children, men would be versatile dads.

If the child was a boy that could be sold, women would be happy. If a girl was born, a woman would think that it was not worth spending money to buy a man for a girl.

Although this was the case, those girls also grew up. Like their mothers, they bought men and had children.

Hilla looked up at Frank. “Good luck to you!”

Frank thought, “If I’m unlucky, I will be drowned in a pig cage.”

At the thought of being drowned in a pig cage, Frank couldn’t help but shiver.

He leaned in front of Bruce, “Dude, don’t abandon me. This is a matter of life.”

Moreover, these women were really vicious. Some men had stayed in this town for a long time. In order to please their women, they began to hold the candle to the devil.

The few of them rested for the entire night. When Hilla woke up, she subconsciously opened the curtains in front of her.

A middle-aged woman’s face appeared in front of the window. The woman’s eyes were sharp and fierce, and she quickly sized up their limousine.

Hilla was so scared that she quickly closed the curtain and pushed Bruce beside her.

There were a lot of people standing outside the window just now, and the limousines were surrounded.

It seemed that if they wanted to run, they could only let Frank be drowned in the pig cage.
