The village chief signaled to Brother Chu to tear the rag out of the trafficker's mouth.
The traffickers shouted as soon as they got the chance: "Please let me go, and I will tell you who helped me."
"Hmph, if you don't tell me, we will kill you. Anyway, one person's death is nothing these days." The village chief was obviously furious and spoke without any regard for others.
The trafficker's face turned pale and his eyes avoided, he didn't dare to fight back.
"Tell me, who helped you?" Chu San took out a dagger and put it to his neck and asked.
The trafficker was afraid of death. Seeing the blood on his neck, he quickly said, "I'll tell you, it was her. She gave me the dagger. As for where the food went, I don't know. I haven't even seen it..."
Being pointed out by the traffickers in public, Chen Lin's heart skipped a beat. Her expression immediately changed drastically, and she angrily said, "You're talking nonsense! Did Zhou Jiaojiao and the Chu family tell you to say that just to find a scapegoat?"
"It's the dagger you gave me. Last night, you got up to add firewood. When you passed by me, there was a dagger in front of me. Who else could it be except you?" The human trafficker didn't care anymore. He was afraid of being killed, so he explained what happened last night.
When the village chief and villagers heard this, they subconsciously looked at Shen Lin.
Shen Lin's face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and refused to admit it: "You are talking nonsense, what evidence do you have to prove that what you said is true?"
"Did you get up to add firewood?" the village chief asked angrily.
Shen Lin opened her mouth to deny it.
Zhou Linlin finally found her chance and immediately jumped out, saying, "Village Chief, I saw her. It was her. She did get up last night to add firewood. It wasn't her job originally; it was Big Brother Xiong who was in charge. She offered to help, but Big Brother Xiong just ignored her and went to sleep."
"But I saw with my own eyes that she added wood to everyone's fire, and she did go through the traffickers!"
"Who else saw it?" The village chief frowned, already believing it in his heart.
At this time, several villagers who did not sleep well last night stood up and said that this was indeed the case.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" the village chief scolded.
Several villagers were a little embarrassed: "Didn't we just ask who went out before? We didn't ask if they were walking around the house. We just didn't remember for a while."
"How are you going to explain this, Chen Lin?" The village chief was not really angry that they didn't say anything, he was just looking for a reason to vent his anger. What he cared about most at the moment was whether Chen Lin did it.
Seeing that everyone hated her, Shen Lin gritted her teeth and refused to admit it: "She must have seen it wrongly. How could I have such a good dagger on me!"
"Besides, there is so much food, how can I disappear?"
"I just happened to pass by. You are wrongly accusing me if you have no evidence." The question raised by Shen Lin made the villagers suspicious.
At this time, Brother Chu suddenly spoke: "I think there is something on you."
Shen Lin's pupils shrank slightly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Brother Chu stared at her and said, "Actually, I've always found it strange. Every time you find food somewhere, you say it was left by Changliu. But I've noticed that every time you go out by yourself, and then come back and tell us that you found the food left by Changliu."
"If I don't go to confirm, how can I know whether Changliu stayed or not, and whether those who stayed have been poached in advance." Shen Lin looked back confidently. She obviously didn't think he could find evidence. Because of the space, she felt that no one was worthy of comparing with her, and she was not afraid of being discovered.
After all, she always collected supplies only after noticing that there were no outsiders around. Besides, at this time, who could believe that there was such a magical treasure?
"What you said makes sense, but I have seen you transform into a living creature with my own eyes." When Brother Chu said this, the villagers were stunned.
Even the village chief didn't understand what he meant.
"Boss Chu, what does it mean to transform into a living thing?"
"She clearly has nothing in her hands, but she can still conjure up food. Village chief, you can think boldly. It doesn't mean that it won't happen just because you can't think of it. Anyway, I will definitely not lie." Brother Chu pursed his lips.
"What?"
"There was nothing in your hand, but something appeared?"
"Do you understand what that means?"
"Is it a divine act?"
"Chen Lin is a deity?"
Zhou Jiaojiao was speechless for a moment when she saw that the villagers were starting to fear Chen Lin because of the fairy's words, but she did not stop them. As long as Chen Lin could be exposed, everything else would be a piece of cake.
"If she were a deity, would she have to endure hardships with us?" Mother Chu spoke out Zhou Jiaojiao's thoughts. She rolled her eyes and said, "Is it possible that she's just a mortal who has obtained a divine artifact, so she can turn her bare hands into food. But she's still mortal, just possessing a treasure."
Mother Chu's words made some of the villagers who were originally afraid of Shen Lin's eyes flash. If it was just a treasure, then could anyone get it?
Shen Lin's face changed drastically, and she angrily scolded: "Boss Chu, what nonsense are you talking about? I know you want to frame me, so you can even come up with such a weird reason. Ask yourself if you believe it."
"It's not a question of whether I believe it or not, but I saw it." Brother Chu almost cursed.
Zhou Linlin also raised her hand and said, "Yes, and me too. I saw it. Last time, I saw her suddenly have more food in her hands. It was fresh buns. We were fleeing from famine on the road, where would we get fresh buns to eat?"
"Zhou Linlin, are you serious?" The village chief and the others were stunned. However, since this wasn't just one person saying this, everyone couldn't help but wonder, could this really be true?
"If you want to know whether it's true, it's very simple. Just keep Chen Lin under guard and you'll know after a while." Zhou Jiaojiao didn't deny that her words were a bit harsh, but there was nothing she could do. After all, Chen Lin was even more cruel.
There is no right or wrong, it’s all for yourself.
Chen Lin yelled, "Why? Why should everyone listen to you? Zhou Jiaojiao, I think you are the one with the problem..."
She opened her mouth and tried to talk to Zhou Jiaojiao.
But at this time, everyone was affected by what Zhou Mianmian and Brother Chu said. Some people said, "No wonder Shen Lin was able to take out so much food before."
"Yes, it was said that Changliu prepared it, but how could Changliu be so precise? How did he know which specific route we should take? What if we choose to take a small road?"
“Yes, the route we took along the way was not suggested by Shen Lin, but was discussed by our entire village. It seems that she can always find food no matter where she is.”
This was also because Shen Lin was too arrogant at the time, thinking that no one would guess that she had a magical artifact like "space", so she could directly deceive the villagers. As a result, she met Zhou Jiaojiao who traveled through time.
However, Zhou Jiaojiao wondered if she wouldn't be discovered by the end of the book, even in the novel. After all, she had openly collected so much food to support the hero's career.
