Chapter 40 - The Women's Village

The Women’s Village

Only now did Nan Shan realize that the village seemed to be full of women.

There were babies, women, and elders, but no men.

They were so frightened in a moment of crisis. Nan Shan did not think that their fear was groundless.

After all, the bodies of the horse gang were lying not far away, piled up in a mess, and the ground under their feet was almost dyed red with blood.

Anyone who saw it would be creeped out.

At this moment. Nan Shan noticed the system’s notification in his mind, but he did not probe further because the situation was urgent.

No matter what happened, it would have to wait until he rescued the villagers.

The horse gang’s means were ruthless and the fence blocking the exit was extremely strong. Nan Shan had to use the swallowing method to cut open a way out.

Back at the gate, the villagers screamed and ran out. The flames followed behind and spread at an extremely rapid speed. The surrounding was full of forest and vegetation. If the mountain fire was allowed to continue burning, no one would be able to escape in the end.

Even though the villagers had just escaped from the sea of fire, Nan Shan could only command them to put out the fire bit by bit.

They worked for most of the night, and only when the sun rose did they finally put out the last bit of fire.

Standing on the small square in the village, Nan Shan looked around and saw that it was a scene of devastation. Everywhere was gray.

However, just by looking at the remaining ruins, one could vaguely see the prosperity of this small village.

“It’s a pity,” Nan Shan mumbled to himself.

In the end, when he looked up, he saw that the villagers he had saved with great difficulty were all gathered around the square, looking at him with guarded eyes.

The disgust and fear that spread from the bottom of his heart could not be concealed at all.

Nan Shan hesitated for a moment. He raised his voice and asked.

“Who’s the village chief here? Come out and talk to me.”

This sentence seemed to have frightened the surrounding villagers, and they immediately retreated more than ten meters.

Not long after, a group of villagers came from the street.

From the looks of it, they did not look as disheveled as the villagers outside. They must have been hiding somewhere when the fire broke out to avoid the disaster.

However, the appearance of this group of villagers stunned Nan Shan.

The villagers who followed him to put out the fire were all burned by the smoke. Their little faces were all black, and their clothes were also in charred.

As for the villagers who were slowly walking over, all of them had graceful figures and beautiful faces. Some were charming, some looked pure, and some were delicate. No matter which girl was picked out and placed outside, they would all be top beauties.

Nan Shan even realized that the girls here were really beautiful from young to old!

She looked as delicate as a baby in his arms. Her big, clear eyes looked at everything in the world curiously. Her round face was smooth and fair. She had been a beauty since she was young.

The women walking in front were mostly old, and their light muslin clothes could not hide their exquisite curves.

Her eyes were gentle and quiet, with a unique charm that had been accumulated over the years.

At this moment, the crowd parted, and a tall girl with phoenix eyes and cherry lips walked out.

She was equally beautiful, but she had a bit more heroic and heroic spirit than others.

Her dark green robe was clean and refreshing, and there was only a waist seal embroidered with dark golden threads around her waist, which made her waist appear even more fragile.

The girl stopped when she was about ten meters away from Nan Shan. She was obviously very nervous and forced herself to look fierce.

However, perhaps there had never been a man in their village, so they naturally did not know how much love such an expression made people feel.

“You should leave quickly. We have already reported this to the officials. They said that they will come to take you away in less than four hours. If you don’t leave now, you will definitely be thrown into prison.”

The girl’s delicate hands were twisted together as she stared at Nan Shan and said word by word.

“Report to the authorities?” Nan Shan was confused.

He had clearly captured all the horse gangsters in one fell swoop, so how did he offend the officials?

“Yes, I’ve already reported it to the authorities! Are you leaving or not?”

The girl shouted sternly. This made Nan Shan not know whether to laugh or cry. For a moment, he could not figure out what her intentions were.

He was the one who saved all the girls in the village. Even if he did not expect the villagers to bow down to him, they should not be so hostile to him!

“Our village is located in the depths of the mountains and has always been separated from worldly affairs. We didn’t expect such a disaster to happen. It’s fine if you two fight in secret, but why did you burn down our village?”

The more the girl spoke, the sadder she became. She could no longer maintain the imposing manner she had just now.

Nan Shan looked at her and two lines of tears fell.

“Hey, don’t cry. What’s there to cry about? Didn’t I already catch all the horse gangsters?”

Nan Shan was really panicking this time. He was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid of a woman crying.

Most importantly, a woman crying was enough to give him a headache.

However, as the girl who stood up to talk to him lost control of her emotions, the other villagers who had been holding back their fear for a long time also sobbed softly.

The extreme fear and the sudden crisishad long broken down their emotional defense.

Someone was pleading intermittently. Nan Shan listened for a long time before he roughly understood what was going on.

This small village, which was like a country of women, had always been located in the mountains. For a long time, they had maintained a peaceful and comfortable life.

However, after the horse gang set up camp nearby, this peace was completely broken.

Originally, they wanted to evacuate the entire village, but the horse gang did not give them this opportunity.

Now that Nan Shan had completely destroyed the horse gang, in the eyes of these girls, it was a battle between two different forces. No matter which side won, it would be a disaster for them.

After all, this village was made up of only girls, so their ability to protect themselves was extremely weak. It could even be said that they could only be slaughtered.

“Are you guys willing to listen to my explanation?” Nan Shan was speechless for a long time before he asked with a bitter smile.

“What’s there to explain? You can kill us if you want, but you’re alone. Even if we give up our lives, we won’t let you do as you wish!”

“Right! We just want to live our own lives and have never caused any trouble, but if you continue to force us like this, at most we’ll fight to the death!”

The voice was getting louder and louder. Nan Shan looked around and all he met were wary eyes.

That kind of distrust was engraved in her bones after being hurt so many times.

Even if Nan Shan wanted to explain, he would not be able to.

“My savior! It’s you!”

Suddenly, a crisp voice called out to Nan Shan. It sounded familiar.

Before Nan Shan could match the voice with the familiar voice in his mind, there was a commotion in the crowd.

A little girl stumbled out and plunged into Nan Shan’s arms.
