Women Village
墨書 Inktalez
I was trafficked to a place called Women Village.
In this village, there are no men. And I am merely a tool for their reproduction. The women in the village planned to consummate our marriage that very night. Upon hearing the news, I nodded repeatedly, "Great! I'm finally going to have a wife!"
When I woke up, I was chained and locked in a small dark room. I hadn’t eaten for several days. Leaning against the wall, I was on the brink of collapse. Ms . Lin struck me fiercely with a wooden stick, "I feed you and clothe you, and you still think about escaping?" Her tone was harsh, "If you try to run again, I'll kill you."
I had been sold to a place called Women Village. The women here are skilled with herbs but cannot bear sons. Therefore, they buy a man to have children. If a man fails to impregnate a woman within a year and a half, he will be beaten to death.
I was sold to Ms . Lin's household, and in three days, I was to become the groom. My bride would be Ms . Lin's precious daughter. I attempted to escape, but after being drugged and with the village being remote—having only one exit that was closely monitored—I didn’t get far before being caught again.
Weakly, I pleaded, "Please don’t hit me anymore; I won’t run away! It’s just about marrying a wife! I'm not losing out." Ms . Lin tossed aside her stick and smiled, "If you had this awareness earlier, you wouldn’t have to be beaten. No need to wait three days; tonight, you two can consummate your marriage!"
And just like that, I became Lin Yu's husband.
I managed to charm Lin Yu, easing her suspicions and allowing me to roam freely around the village. With my silver tongue, I quickly became friendly with the women in the village, who praised my good looks and maturity, saying that the Lin family had found a good man.
One day, while wandering through the village, I heard a series of anguished screams. Following the sound, I came across a woman mercilessly beating a tightly bound man with her fists and feet. A few onlookers stood nearby, watching the scene unfold.
“Jiang Li, is your man throwing another tantrum?” one of them called out.
“You can’t spoil a man; you need to discipline him properly,” another chimed in.
“I have a whip you can borrow if you need it,” suggested yet another.
Jiang Li shot back, “Your whip would kill him after just a few lashes.”
I hid at the doorway, observing the man who was covered in bruises and blood, his clothes soaked through. Jiang Li was far from finished; she continued to lash out at him with the whip. The man trembled in pain, curling up like a shrimp.
I rushed forward and snatched the whip from her hand. “You’re going to kill him like this!”
Jiang Li sneered, “Good riddance; he can’t even have children.”
The man lay on the ground, barely conscious. As Jiang Li prepared to strike again, I stepped in front of him. “Stop it.”
The women in the village urged me to back off. “Why do you care? If her husband doesn’t behave, a good beating will set him straight.”
“Exactly! Mind your own business or she might turn on you too!”
I gripped Jiang Li’s whip tightly. “If he dies, you’ll have to spend money to get another one. Let me talk to him instead.”
I untied the man and led him aside, whispering a few words into his ear. Before long, I had managed to convince him. Seeing that he no longer resisted, Jiang Li calmed down and took her husband back into their house.
A few days later, Jiang Li came to my door carrying an old hen to thank me.
During dinner that evening, I shared the story with Lin Yu and the others.
Lin Yu gave me a thumbs-up and said, "Well done! You really have some skills."
I humbly replied, "It's just a small matter."
