Shi Tou is the grandson of her third great-uncle. The child is sweet-talking and calls her "sister" all the time.

Seeing that he liked crossbows, Lin Jinyue made a crossbow that had no lethality.

It's like having only an empty shell.

Stone eagerly went to get the crossbow bolts.

Lin Jinyue eagerly handed the crossbow bolt to Xie Hong: "General Xie, is this what you mean?"

Xie Hong took it and studied it for a long time. This thing did indeed look like it wasn't very lethal.

He pressed the trigger and fired the crossbow bolt, only to find that it could only travel two meters.

That's right, two meters!

This cannot be called a weapon at all.

Lin Jinyue added, "We have quite a few of these crossbows. We originally intended to use them for hunting, but we couldn't figure out the key to them. So, we ended up with a lot, which can only be used as toys for our younger siblings."

Xie Hong frowned deeply.

His lieutenant said, "But that night, you almost shot Chen Dawei with a crossbow, the very night he was planning to set fire to the place."

Lin Jinyue thought for a moment: "That night it was Uncle Dazhuang. Before fleeing the famine, his family were butchers and very good hunters. Uncle Dazhuang probably scared them away with his bow and arrow. Before the famine, every village had hunters. They can't just ban the use of bows and arrows..."

Xie Hong kept staring into her eyes, trying to find a flaw.

But everyone in the village looked perfectly normal; there was nothing wrong with their expressions.

Some people muttered under their breath, "We've finally managed to settle down. If we had that kind of ability, we would have found a powerful backer to rely on long ago."

Lin Jinyue frowned and looked at Xie Hong suspiciously: "General Xie, you, you wouldn't have done this on purpose, would you?"

“If General Xie really is unwilling to give us money, we will go out and slander your reputation, saying that you are untrustworthy, after all, it’s so much money.”
