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

Chapter 21 Can You Lend Me Some Money?

I have to check the trap I dug yesterday today. In case there is something big, it will be difficult for Lin Nan to operate it. The big tiger just had surgery and is not suitable for activities, so it is good to let it stay at home with Lin Nan.

"Nannan, I'm going to the woods to check on the trap I dug yesterday. Can you and Big Cat wait at home?" Lin Xin packed herself up and went to the yard to discuss with Lin Nan.

Lin Nan was a little embarrassed. He wanted to follow his sister, but he couldn't let go of the big cat in the yard. After a struggle in his heart, he nodded reluctantly, "Then sister, you have to come back early."

"Okay, wait for me to come back and bring some delicious food for Nan Nan."

"Bring it to Big Kitty too."

"Okay, bring it to Big Kitty too."

After agreeing on the terms, Lin Xin put on her backpack and took her hoe and went out, locking the door from the outside. Although villagers usually wouldn't come to her house, what if?
Seeing a big tiger as soon as you enter the door will definitely cause a sensation in the village, and who knows what kind of gossip will spread.

So, bolting the door is the best solution.

Lin Xin was walking in the forest with a backpack on her back. It was not the busy farming season, so many villagers were there. Some of them would greet her in a friendly manner, some would look away and pretend not to see her, and some would secretly glance at her with what they thought were subtle eyes.

She didn't care much about these things. She would just smile back at those who greeted her and pretend not to see anything else.

Before reaching the first trap, I could hear a grunting sound from far away. It was already very faint. I guess it was because it was pricked by a branch after falling into it. It must be not far away.

She quickened her pace and walked over to look down. Wow, there were actually two wild boars stacked on top of each other. The one at the bottom was smaller and already dead, while the one at the top was bigger and less seriously injured. It wasn't dead yet, but was just barely breathing.

Lin Xin summoned a devil vine, tied up the two wild boars, and pulled hard. The wild boars, which were strung on the branches like candied haws, were pulled out of the trap and thrown onto the open space next to them with a "bang".

She looked around and didn't see anyone. She waved her little hand and the two wild boars disappeared in an instant.

After resetting the trap, Lin Xin set off for the next destination.

The three traps caught a total of two wild boars, a wild goat, a roe deer and four rabbits. Lin Xin nodded with satisfaction. It was her first time setting traps, and the results were remarkable!

She was walking back in a good mood, humming a song, when suddenly she stopped. What was that plant in the bushes in front of her with a head full of small scarlet fruits?
She pushed aside the thigh-high bushes and took a closer look. Gem-like red berries were embedded among the oval green leaves, and the upright, smooth yellow-green stems extended deep into the soil.

This looks like ginseng!
Genuine wild ginseng!

Lin Xin walked over carefully and used a hoe to dig up the soil within a radius of 20 centimeters. She grabbed the leaves and pulled them upwards gently. A wild ginseng wrapped in soil was pulled out of her hand.

This wild ginseng is obviously very old. You can already see the outline of a human figure. The roots are slender and distinct. It has a unique sense of heaviness when held in the hand. When you smell it close to your nose, you can also smell the mellow and long-lasting medicinal fragrance. It is estimated that the ginseng is more than a hundred years old.

This is different from the ginseng that she created with her supernatural powers. It is a real century-old ginseng that was grown naturally. What a good stuff!
Lin Xin put the wild ginseng and the soil into the space, thinking to herself, they say that good times come after bad times. I got such a terrible thing in the tiger's leg before. Is this God's compensation for treating me unfairly?
Okay, considering this large wave of prey and this ginseng, she will reluctantly not care about so many things.

On the way back, she wandered into the grass by the river and caught a few wild ducks, also taking several nests of wild duck eggs. She'd been eating too many pheasants lately, so she needed a change of pace. Lin Xin happily headed home with a bountiful harvest, but her good mood was extinguished by the sight of a slender figure lingering at the foot of the mountain, occasionally glancing towards her home.

She recognized her. It was Lin Duo, the eldest daughter of Lin Lao San and Zhou. Because she was a girl, she was also completely neglected in the old Lin family. But because she had Zhou as her mother to protect her, her life was much better than Lin Xin's. When they were still together, she often pushed her work to Lin Xin.

But because they are of similar age, they are quite close.

But Lin Xin didn't think that she appeared here today just for fun, she probably came to find her.

Thinking about what kind of trouble was going to happen at the old house, Lin Xin's eyes flashed with impatience. These people in the old Lin family were really like cockroaches. They were not dead but still very annoying.

She walked home with a cold face, as if she didn't see Lin Duo standing there.

Seeing Lin Xin like this, Lin Duo was also stunned. In her memory, Lin Xin was still the little girl who just lowered her head and worked silently all day long. When did she dare to raise her head when walking?
Subconsciously, she reached out and grabbed Lin Xin's wrist when she walked past her.

Lin Xin stopped and stared at their hands expressionlessly, or more precisely, at Lin Duo's hand that was holding her wrist.

Lin Duo quickly withdrew her hand. Somehow, when Lin Xin's eyes were focused on her hand, she felt a tingling sensation on her wrist, as if something was scratching her back and forth. She even had a feeling that if she didn't let go, her hand might be completely separated from her wrist.

Her feeling was indeed correct. The moment her hand touched Lin Xin's skin, Lin Xin condensed the moisture in the air into countless very small water blades, which kept scraping back and forth on Lin Duo's wrist. If she still refused to let go, those water blades would become a big one and directly cut off her hand.

Lin Xin shook off her grabbed hand, glanced coldly at Lin Duo, and was about to leave again when Lin Duo quickly called out, "Lin Xin, wait a minute, I have something to talk to you about."

Lin Xin stopped impatiently and turned to look at her, "What's the matter?"

"That..." Lin Duo lowered her head a little embarrassedly, fiddling with the corner of her clothes, biting her lips and not saying a word.

"If you don't want to talk, I'm leaving." Lin Xin said, turning around and pretending to leave.

"Hey, no, I really have something to talk to you about. Can we go to your house to talk?"

"No," Lin Xin said even more impatiently, "If you have something to say, just say it here."

"I..." Lin Duo seemed to have mustered up the courage, looked at Lin Xin and asked, "Can you lend me some money?"

Seeing Lin Xin's wide eyes, she quickly added, "Don't worry, I'll return it to you later."

Lin Xin was so angry that she almost laughed. This old Lin family was really a bunch of weirdos. Since they couldn't get the things and money by force, were they planning to adopt a soft approach?

"No, I gave all my money to your grandma in front of everyone last time. If you want money, go ask her." Lin Xin wanted to leave after saying this. She felt that she could no longer have contact with the people in the old house. What if the problem with his brain became contagious?
"Lin Xin," Lin Duo screamed, "You know how I can possibly ask Grandma for money? She only has eyes for my eldest cousin and Yang Ge'er. Even if she had money, she wouldn't give it to me! I beg you, please lend me some money. If you don't have any, Grandma will sell me to Zheng the butcher in town as a concubine."
