Night Falls: I Kill Through the Wasteland with My Entries

Chapter 17 Li Jingan's Dilemma

"Do you still remember that Li Jingan owed Xiong Qian's family a life?" Zhang Kun asked.

"Remember." Su Ding nodded.

He remembered this incident very clearly.

If it weren't for this incident, Li Jingan wouldn't have been harmed so badly by Xiong Qian.

"What Xiong Qian said at the time was actually not wrong. Li Jing'an has an older brother and a younger brother. His parents are partial to him, giving all the food and drink to his older brother and younger brother, while she only gets to eat a little every few days.

If Xiong Qian's parents hadn't helped her, she would have starved to death." Zhang Kun said quietly.

Su Ding remained silent.

In this world, it's not easy to survive, especially now that sunlight and food production are decreasing.

Male children are even more precious in the family.

This is not to say that boys are favored over girls.

Rather, males generally have stronger fighting power than females, making the family more competitive in the camp.

It is a better consumable!

"Do you know why Li Jingan would risk her life to mine at dawn?" Zhang Kun looked at Su Dingdao.

"Why?" Su Ding asked curiously.

"Because her parents are planning to sell her to a stable." Zhang Kun said lightly.

Hearing his words, Su Ding suddenly felt a chill for no reason.

The fence is actually the place where women sell their bodies.

How cruel must Li Jingan's parents be to sell their own daughter to such a place?

Su Ding suddenly had a deeper understanding of what Zhang Kun said: "Coming back is not a good thing."

Now that Li Jingan's legs are disabled, one can imagine what the future will be like.

At this moment, he and Zhang Kun had already walked downstairs.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two was a little dull.

"Brother Zhang." Su Ding thought for a long time before calling Zhang Kun.

There was no way he would ignore Li Jingan.

It’s not that he has a heart of a saint and wants to save people when he sees them.

But if the other party had not restrained the Night Owl yesterday, he might have been the one to die.

Xu Hu can even produce ten kilograms of black crystal.

Is he going to ignore Li Jingan?

Was it because he hadn't promised Li Jing'an anything? Or was it because Li Jing'an had helped them and didn't ask for anything?
He can't do such a thing.

As soon as Su Ding finished speaking, he met Zhang Kun's smiling face.

He immediately understood that the reason Zhang Kun talked about Li Jingan was to set a trap for him.

After all, in this kind of thing, whoever speaks first will have to pay the biggest price.

Su Ding was speechless, but didn't take it to heart.

Now is not the time to be fussy about such things.

"Brother Zhang, do you think we can help Li Jingan?" Su Ding simply spoke directly.

"We definitely have to help," Zhang Kun nodded, "but we have to figure out how to help."

He shrugged and said, "If we give some black crystal to their parents, their family will probably rely on us."

At this point, he paused and said, "So if we want to help Li Jingan, we must cut off her contact with her family."

Zhang Kun looked at Su Ding and said, "Do you know the price of a skinny horse in the pen?"

"what price?"

"Thirty kilograms of black crystal." Zhang Kun said lightly.

"Thirty kilograms of black crystal?" Su Ding's pupils shrank slightly.

Don’t think that he made more than ten kilograms of black crystal in just one day yesterday.

But this was actually only obtained when he had the term "explorer".

For ordinary people, if they can get ten kilograms of food a day at dawn, they will be very lucky.

Not to mention, this is dangerous and people could die if not handled properly.

Ordinary people here can only travel during the day, so a kilogram a day is the maximum they can consume. Normally, they can only consume a few ounces of black crystal.

Thirty kilograms.

Homes here rarely come with this much inventory.

"Brother Zhang, you should have thirty kilograms of black crystal, right?" Su Ding paused and asked.

"Yes. But after giving away 30 kilograms, I don't have much left." Zhang Kun shook his head.

Hearing his words, Su Ding fell silent.

"Then Brother Zhang, what should we do?" Su Ding paused and asked Zhang Kun.

Since the other party told him this today, he must have a plan.

Zhang Kun smiled calmly and said, "Actually, if you want to buy Li Jing'an, you don't need 30 kilograms of black crystal. After all, her legs have been bitten and broken. She won't fetch much in the stalls either."

The leader of our scavenging team knows the vendors at the market, and he owes me a favor. I'll tell the vendors at the market to refuse to take her. If you offer a few dozen pounds of black crystal for her, you'll definitely be able to buy her."

Having said that, he paused and said, "But after all, it was you who brought up this matter. I have already done you a favor as captain.

It's your turn to pay for the remaining dozen or so pounds of black crystal."

"More than ten kilograms of black crystal?" Su Ding frowned.

He can actually get this black crystal.

But he wasn't too keen on taking the risk of heading into the wilderness just yet.

"No..." Su Ding paused slightly.

Now he has been targeted by Dog-Headed Lord.

Although the Dog-Headed Lord will not enter the room directly.

But if this continues, it will be extremely dangerous.

He couldn't put all his hopes on the fact that Doghead couldn't open the door.

"We have to get the talisman stone." Su Ding thought of the talisman stone that Zhang Kun had mentioned before.

Only this kind of rune can kill monsters and protect yourself.

If you want rune stones, you must go to the wilderness.

Su Ding took a deep breath, looked at Zhang Kun and said, "Brother Zhang, I can produce this black crystal. But you also know my current situation. It is impossible for me to produce more than ten kilograms of black crystal.

Can I get some credit from you?"

"Sure." Zhang Kun nodded. "I can lend you this black crystal, but you have to return it to me as soon as possible."

Listening to Zhang Kun's words, Su Ding's heart moved slightly.

It seems that Zhang Kun cares extremely about the black crystal.

When he wanted to give Xu Hu the black crystal before, the other party gave him a map of the nearby area.

Now, saving Li Jingan is another favor.

In addition, the other party had previously taken newcomers to the wilderness at dawn.

This already shows that Zhang Kun currently cares extremely about Hei Jing.

However, Su Ding just took note of this matter but did not take it to heart.

After all, this is none of his business, and he doesn't want to pry into the other person's privacy.

"Okay." Su Ding nodded and agreed.

After confirmation, Zhang Kun took him to find a door craftsman, used half a pound of black crystal, and asked the other party to install the door before dusk.

"There are only 7 kilograms of black crystal left..." Su Ding was speechless.

Of these 7 kilograms of black crystal, 2 kilograms were given by the monkey.

Moreover, black crystals will be given to Xu Hu's parents later.

"How much black crystal are you going to give to Xu Hu's parents first?" Zhang Kun asked Su Dingdao.

Su Ding was stunned, then thought for a moment and said, "Give me 4 jin first, and then give me the rest slowly."

Monkey gave 2 kilograms, and if he gave another 2 kilograms, it should be enough to help Xu Hu's parents get through the current difficulties.

"4 jin?" Zhang Kun was stunned. "You're giving me so much at once?"

This time, Su Ding only got 8 kilograms of black crystal in the wilderness.

After deducting the 1 jin that was spent before and giving 4 jin to Xu Hu's parents, there were only 3 jin left.

What can you do with the remaining 3 kilograms?
