Chapter 1017

The shed was not big, and it had many piles of firewood and other junk.

There was a wooden post against the wall with a rope tied to the end of the post. However, the

other end of the rope was broken.

"What's this for?” The bodyguard asked.

"Oh. I used it to leash my dog, but the dog escaped, so we just left it like that,” said the old man, “I

told you the person you're looking for is not here. Yet, you don't want to believe me.”

Seeing that there was nothing unusual, the bodyguards came out of the shed.

The old lady and Pud stood at the door, watching the bodyguards come and go to search for Anne.

In fact, they were also very nervous, fearing that they would find her.

Anne, who was hidden in the wine barrel, gradually woke up. Except for being aware of the change

in the environment, she still could not figure out others because of her limited vision.

As soon as she woke up, Anne felt she was in a cramped space and could not

stretch her limbs. She soon realized that she might be locked up somewhere, and it was

uncomfortably stuffy. Moreover, she could vividly feel the painful wounds on her body as soon as

she woke up.

Anne moaned in pain and knocked on the wooden board. With a weak voice, she murmured, “Don’t

lock me up. Let me out...”

The knocking on the wooden board was not loud but enough for them to hear.

The bodyguard stopped in his tracks and asked, “What's the sound?”

The old lady looked around, trying to come up with an excuse. Then, she laughed and said, “I know!

It must be my dog chewing on a plank! Don't worry. It's nothing!”

The bodyguard listened carefully again, and he left for the next house when he did not hear

anything more.

Anne tugged on her collar, and her voice was hoarse. “Let me out...save me. It hurts...

The old lady looked at the woodpile. “That d*mn girl is awake!”

“She's still so disobedient! Let's teach her a lesson later!” The old man said.

“Look at how she hurt Pud! I won't let her go unless she gives me a chubby grandson! “The old lady

felt sorry for her son, but she quickly wondered, “Who is this girl's family? Why are so many men

looking for her?”

“I don't care who she is. As long as she’s here, she'll be the daughter-in-law of my Walton family,”

the old man answered,

The sentence “the ignorant have no fear’ referred to this kind of person.

Besides, the customs in the village were like this. They were relatively united, and they would help

the fellow people in their village.

On the surface, they appeared harmonious and kind to outsiders.

Hence, Anne was not found in the village, and nothing raised their suspicions, causing Anthony and

the rest to return without success.

After all the outsiders left, Pud took Anne out of the wine barrel and threw her into the shed again.

Anne then fell limply on the haystack, weakly facing the ugly and extremely evil faces

in front of her.

Even if she could not see them, she could still feel that.

The old man kicked Anne's leg. “You're so disobedient! You little wh*re! Now that you're in my

home, you have to listen to my family! Don't dream of leaving this place!”

Anne did not respond even though she was kicked. She appeared weak, and her breathing was

slow.

The old lady found a thin iron chain and locked it around Anne's ankle. “I'd like to see how you're

going to run now! Just stay here and give birth to my grandson!”

Pud kept staring at Anne's face and said, “She doesn't seem well.”

The old lady looked at Anne and touched her face., “She's a little warm...”

If she were sick, she could not give birth to a healthy grandson. Hence, she needed

to visit the doctor.

“Does it cost money? Should we just throw her away?” Pud asked.

Every time he saw this woman, his eye would twitch.
