Chapter 175 News
She didn't dare to help this woman heal on a large scale. After all, she still didn't know what happened to her.

Moreover, there are so many poor people in the world, Nanchi only wants to find out the situation of this village from their mouths.

After listening to Nanchi's words, the little girl sat on the side blankly, and returned to her previous lifeless appearance.

"Just you and your mother? Where's your father?" Seeing that the woman hadn't recovered yet, Nanchi wanted to talk to the little girl.

The little guy's eyeballs moved, "Xiaoman doesn't have a father."

"Your name is Xiao Man? It's a nice name." Nan Chi smiled.

"Why do you live here?" Nan Chi followed the door and looked towards the adobe hut not far away.

Although those houses are also very simple, they are better than this stone house built with big stones.

As long as it rains in this place, it is guaranteed that there will be water everywhere.

How can people live?
Xiaoman fell silent again.

At this time, the woman opened her eyes, and Xiaoman's eyes lit up, and she rushed over immediately, her voice was choked with anxiety, "Mom!"

"Cough!" The woman coughed lightly, blinked her eyes several times before slowly regaining focus.

In the next second, he saw the boy in white sitting on the only stone bench in the room.

Nan Chi watched the woman hugging her child subconsciously, looked at himself in horror, and said, "Ma'am, I have no malicious intentions."

Xiaoman whispered in her ear and explained: "Mom, it was this brother who saved you..."

Xiao Man's words made the woman's tense body slowly relax, but those cloudy eyes were still deeply guarded.

Nan Chi frowned almost invisibly.

It is normal for ordinary people to be wary of strangers, but it is strange that this aunt is so wary of her savior.

Nan Chi thought for a while, and explained again and again: "I come from the other side of the mountain. I'm an adventurer. I'll stay here for a day or two and I'll leave soon..."

As he spoke, he took out another nutrient supplement and handed it to Xiaoman, "Drink it, you will be full for a day after eating this kind of food."

Xiaomen didn't answer, but looked at his mother hesitantly, even though she looked at the nutritional supplement with strong desire in her eyes.

Nan Chi's eyes flickered slightly, it seemed that this woman taught this child very well, even though he was at the end of his rope, this child still had a bottom line.

The woman slightly shook her head at Xiao Man.

Xiaoman's eyes dimmed again, and he asked in a low voice, "Do you need help from us?"

"Yes! I want to ask you for help. This is the advance payment." Looking at this sensible child, the smile on the corner of Nanchi's mouth became gentle.

Xiaoman looked at the woman again, this time, the woman nodded slightly.

With permission, the little girl happily took the nutrient supplement, opened the lid and took a sip carefully, then her eyes lit up: "It's so delicious! I've never drank such delicious water."

The smile on the corner of Nan Chi's mouth was a bit stiff, you must know that this nutritional supplement has no taste, it can even be called unpalatable.

It was already a few minutes after Xiao Man carefully finished eating the tube of nutrient supplement with thick fingers.

"I'm really full." She rubbed her belly in surprise.

"My lord, what do you want us mother and daughter to do for you?" At this moment, the woman spoke.

Nan Chi smiled slightly: "Actually, it's not a big deal. You know I'm not familiar with the place where I was born. I just want to know what's going on with the woods and this village here. Is there any city other than your village? How far is it from the city?" How far?"

Nan Chi asked a bunch of questions, but as she kept asking, the woman's expression became more and more confused.

"What is the city...?" She asked such a question.

Nan Chi couldn't even maintain the smile on the corner of his mouth.

What can a woman who has never even heard of the word "city" know?
"This village? Why are there so few people? And there are no old people?" Nan Chi had no choice but to ask some simple questions first.

The woman had a full stomach and had been treated by Nanchi. She was in good spirits. After hearing Nanchi's words, she looked at her strangely, "In our place, if someone reaches the age of 70, he will be sent to the back mountain to be sacrificed." To the Black Lord."

"Black Lord?" Nan Chi frowned, looking at the location behind the mountain that the woman said.

Isn't that where I just came out?
Didn't you see any black lords?
"The lord is the god who rules our area. Anyone who dares to violate his will will suffer terrible punishment..."

"Every five years, our village has to hand over five young people, and five girls who have just turned over.

If we fail to pay, and the lord gets angry, our village will cease to exist.

Not far from our village, there was a village before, they just violated the will of the lord and tried to hide the young girl, causing all the people in the village to die..."

After Nan Chi heard the woman's words, his beautiful brows were tightly frowned, "This lord, how is it any different from the monsters in Journey to the West?"

"So what about the young people you turned in? Have you ever returned?"

The woman glanced at Nanchi strangely again, with tears in her eyes, and she slowly said: "The young people were already dead the moment they were handed over to the lord. We, the whole village, are like being raised by the lord. like cattle..."

Nan Chi's eyes turned cold.

Keeping humans in captivity like livestock?

Since ancient times, no creature has done it, right?This is simply a disgrace in the history of the entire human race!

"Why didn't you resist?" Nanchi asked in a deep voice.

"Resist? You can't win! Those who resist are dead!
I heard from my grandfather that in ancient times, our human race was indeed the master of this land, and later, when we were defeated, it became like this..."

There were still tears in the woman's eyes, but there was no hope in those eyes.

Defeated, reduced to slavery like cattle!

Nan Chi pursed her lips. She remembered that she had killed that chimpanzee not long ago. That guy said in an arrogant tone that he had killed many humans!
wait!chimpanzee?Black Lord?

"Have you seen the Lord Lord?"

"I've seen it, it's as tall as a mountain, with black hair all over its body..."

"If you're talking about this guy, and he lives in the back mountain, I'd say he died yesterday."

The woman stared blankly at Nanchi, as if she couldn't react to what she said for a while.

Nan Chi had no choice but to repeat what he had just said.

"Dead, dead?" The woman's words seemed to be squeezed out of her throat, hoarse and stiff.

"Dead! Even the body was split in half. I saw it when I passed by there today." Nan Chi looked serious.

Tell the characteristics of that chimpanzee again.

"Really, really dead?" The woman's weak body suddenly stood up from the bed with strength, took a few steps towards Nanchi, and stared at the white-clothed boy madly.

Nan Chi nodded cautiously.

"Hahaha!" The woman burst out laughing suddenly.
