Pei Nansheng stopped in his tracks. Zuo Ling was not someone who would do good deeds casually; there must be a reason for her sudden change of heart.
Where is the Northwest? It seems so far away.
The old man was distressed and on the verge of death; he had no strength to travel to the Northwest.
Zuo Ling quickly wrote down the coordinates of the shelter and handed it to the old man.
The old man didn't read the note and stammered, "Miss... young lady, could you...?"
Zuo Ling lowered her head and frowned, avoiding looking at the old man.
They dared not speak to Pei Nansheng, but dared to make demands of her because they thought she was young and naive, and that she was more soft-hearted than Pei Nansheng.
I sighed and said, "Never mind."
I went back to the car and got two boxes of compressed biscuits and a bag of cold-resistant sweet potatoes and potatoes.
"We don't have much either, so eat sparingly and you can make it for a while."
Turning around and taking two steps, I reminded them again:
"You can't eat too many compressed biscuits. A small piece, with some water, can be the equivalent of a meal. My brother wasn't lying; eating too many compressed biscuits can really kill you."
The villagers stared wide-eyed; they hadn't seen any decent food in a long time. They stared at the compressed biscuits and sweet potatoes, their eyes practically glued to the food.
Even after the doomsday chariot had driven far away, he was still in a daze.
Pei Nansheng asked Zuo Ling, "Why did you suddenly become so kind?"
“Having received crystals from them, we incur a karmic debt that we must repay.”
With just a few words, Pei Nansheng roughly understood the cause and effect.
Zuo Ling received the crystals from the villagers, and she didn't feel she had done anything wrong to them.
The principle is the same as investing in stocks, real estate, or antiques.
You may not know its value, but I do. I bought it for what you consider a reasonable price, and its value has since increased—that was my good fortune.
Nobody's stupid. If you thought it wasn't right for me, you wouldn't have sold it to me.
Not only did I not try to lower the price, I also gave you what you considered a high price; the extra amount was my gesture of goodwill.
If you later realize you've been cheated and think I deceived you, that's your problem.
Going to school requires paying tuition, and gaining experience and knowledge also requires paying tuition.
The reason Zuo Ling didn't tell the villagers about the potential natural disaster was that she grew up in the countryside and understood their psychology best.
When villagers have money, they will prioritize buying things that are urgently needed at home, rather than spending it on an unknown possibility.
Looking back, I realized I was being arbitrary; whether they listened or not was their business.
In any case, saying something is better than saying nothing at all.
Giving them supplies and telling them the location of the Northwest Refuge was a way of correcting my own arbitrary decision.
She was deeply impressed by the little boy who sold Go sets, but she didn't see him among the villagers and wondered how he was doing.
"Brother, I want to go and take a look at Ancheng."
Ancheng is the territory of the Jin family. Zuo Ling was unwilling to go to the Northwest without going to Ancheng.
Pei Nansheng casually asked her, "Why?"
Zuo Ling recounted the entire story of how she had become enemies with the Jin family.
Upon learning that the Jin family was also conducting experiments to steal other people's supernatural abilities, a ruthless glint flashed in Pei Nansheng's eyes.
What do you want?
“I want to eradicate the Jin family completely,” Zuo Ling said jokingly, “but I can’t do it. I don’t even know where the Jin family is.”
“You don’t know, but I do. We are outnumbered and outmatched. It’s impossible for us to eradicate a thousand-year-old hidden family, but we can still manage to stir up some trouble.”
"Really?" Zuo Ling perked up. "You know where the Jin family is?"
Pei Nansheng laughed: "Would I lie to you?"
