Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 18 Let's dig a trap today
After hearing what Lin Xin said, Lin Jing felt even more guilty, and his disgust towards the Lin family deepened.

"Uncle Jing, if everything is ok, Nan Nan and I will go back first."

"Go ahead. If there's anything you can't solve, remember to come find Uncle Jing." Lin Jing said gently.

"I know!" Lin Xin smiled at him, grabbed Lin Nan's little paw and made a goodbye gesture, then left the Lin family's old house under the sympathetic eyes of the villagers.

Lin Jing watched them walk away before he stopped smiling. He turned and went back to Old Man Lin's room. As he entered, he heard Old Man Lin say to his father, "Even if you're the clan leader, you can't just confuse right and wrong. Everyone saw that the scholar died from his injuries. How can you say I killed him?"

"This is not what my father said, it was you who said it, and you have been saying it since last night until just now. The whole village has heard it." Lin Jing looked at him as if he was looking at a pile of manure, and snorted.

"I don't know what I did last night, so how can you take what I said seriously?" Old man Lin refused to admit it. He was not stupid. Killing someone was not a trivial matter. It could be fatal. It had been so long since the incident, and as long as he didn't admit it, no one could do anything to him.

"Don't worry, Uncle Lin. It's been so long since the incident happened. Even if you were the one who killed the person, there's no evidence. We really can't do anything to you. Xin girl just said that she won't report it to the police. As long as you don't feel guilty, it's fine. You can deceive the living, but can you deceive the dead? You can deceive others, but can you deceive yourself? Think about it carefully!" Lin Jing said sarcastically, and helped the old patriarch up, "Dad, let's go back!"

The old patriarch sighed, looked at Old Man Lin with disappointment, and walked away tremblingly with the support of his son.

The excitement was over, and the villagers left together, discussing enthusiastically as they walked. Although the words were varied, the content was basically the same. They all said that Old Lin was too cruel and could kill people without blinking an eye. In the future, they should stay away from their families, and when they go back, they should remind their own children to play less with their children.

Lin Xin was in a very good mood when she returned home. She hummed a song while cracking four eggs, steaming two bowls of egg custard, and taking two big meat buns from the space. She ate the delicious food with Lin Nan, then went back into the mountains with her backpack. This time, she specially brought the only hoe in the house.

Today she is going to the mountains to dig a few traps. It is too troublesome to catch some pheasants and rabbits every day, and it is also difficult to sell them. She has to catch some big ones like wild boars, which are not only easy to sell but also valuable.

"Sister, are we going to continue collecting firewood today?" Lin Nan was holding a small wooden stick in his hand and knocking on the grass in a very professional manner. His sister told him that this was done to drive away the snakes in the grass.

"Let's dig a trap today." He answered while evenly spreading the wood energy to the grass on the ground.

"Will we have meat to eat every day if we dig a trap?" Lin Nan licked his lips and asked expectantly.

"Yes! As long as there are prey in the trap, Nan Nan will have meat to eat every day. Are you happy?" Lin Xin pinched Lin Nan's little nose and asked with a smile.

"Happy!"

The brother and sister walked deep into the woods with a meaningless conversation.

The little grasses were very excited to receive Lin Xin's special ability, and they responded very positively. Soon, Lin Xin identified several places suitable for digging traps.

"Sister, is this the place?" Seeing Lin Xin put down the backpack, picked up the hoe and started to shovel the ground, Lin Nan came over and asked curiously.

"Well, you see there are a lot of wild animal footprints here, but very few human footprints, so if we dig traps here we don't have to worry about anyone accidentally falling into them."

"Oh." Lin Nan said he understood and squatted aside, staring with wide eyes.

"Sister,..." After a while, he had new questions, and Lin Xin answered them patiently.

Time passed as the two of them exchanged questions and answers. Lin Xin, with her supernatural powers, had great strength, and soon she had dug a trap two people deep. She walked around, thought for a while, and found a few thick dead branches nearby. After sharpening them, she inserted them upside down into the bottom of the trap, and then she shook off the dirt on her hands with satisfaction.

"Is that all?" Lin Nan leaned out halfway to look down. "Be careful! See those branches? If you fall in, you'll be a candied haws." Lin Xin was startled and quickly hugged his little body. She took a step back before speaking seriously.

"I understand, sister, don't be angry. Nannan will be a good boy from now on." Seeing Lin Xin's rare stern expression, Lin Nan instinctively tried to please her.

"Sister isn't angry," Lin Xin said, her expression softening. "Sister is just scared. She's afraid Nan Nan might be in danger."

"Yes, Nan Nan knows that sister loves Nan Nan the most." Lin Nan rubbed his little face against Lin Xin's arm and said coquettishly.

"You should do less dangerous things in the future, remember?" Lin Xin stood up, packed up the hoe, picked up Lin Nan and walked to another selected location.

While Lin Nan wasn't paying attention, she threw a small piece of meat into the trap, hoping to lure the prey into the trap. But without some bait, it wouldn't work.

There was a small river not far from the second location, and animals often came to drink water. Lin Xin looked at the sky and found that it was already past noon. She shot two pheasants and there was mud on the river bank, so she made beggar's chicken. The two of them ate it with steamed buns with satisfaction.

After digging two more traps, it was almost dark.

"Sister, when are we going home?" Lin Nan was a little tired after playing for the whole afternoon. He yawned and lay in Lin Xin's arms and asked softly.

"It's done. I'll be right back. Nannan, can you hold on a little longer?" Lin Xin completely forgot that Lin Nan was not one of those children who had awakened superpowers in the apocalypse. She felt a little guilty when she saw how tired he looked.

"Sure!" Although Lin Nan looked a little gloomy, he still sensibly helped Lin Xin pack her things.

Suddenly, a low tiger roar was heard, and the grass not far away parted to both sides, and a huge tiger head appeared in front of them.

"Ah! Big cat!" Lin Nan cheered, throwing all his tiredness behind his mind, and rushed over at a trot.

The ferocious king of the mountain stood there without daring to move when faced with a tiny creature that was not even big enough to fill his teeth. Later, he simply lay down, resting his big head on the huge overlapping tiger claws, and bared his teeth at Lin Xin.

"Pfft!" Lin Xin couldn't help laughing when she saw Tiger's frustrated look.

To make it up to it, Lin Xin took out the beggar's chicken left over from lunch and threw it into its mouth.

The big tiger's nose twitched twice, and it tilted its head and bit, and half of the chicken went into its mouth, and then... Then Lin Xin saw expressions of surprise, desire, expectation, etc. flash across the face of an ordinary, unintelligent big tiger.

It’s... a bit difficult to comment.

"Okay, Nannan, it's getting late. Say goodbye to Big Cat and let's go home."

"Okay!" Lin Nan hugged the big tiger's fur reluctantly and rubbed it hard, then followed her sister, looking back every few steps.

The big tiger lay there, licking its lips and nose for a long time, then shook its tail, stood up, and ran in another direction. Its strong body soon disappeared into the dense forest.
