Yu Bing nodded and replied, “No problem. Wang Tao, Wu Qing, and I will work three shifts in a row. We will be on standby 24 hours a day!”
Yu Bing’s arrangement made Wu Jin very satisfied. At this moment, he admired Yu Bing’s foresight in nurturing apprentices in advance. If not for the fact that there were two reserve drivers, even if Yu Bing worked for more than ten hours a day, the amount of work done would be limited.
Wu Jin had an idea, but he was in no hurry to say it. He still had to test Yu Bing’s ideas and see if they worked. ...
The two of them had finished chatting. After Wu Jin left Yu Bing’s house, he stood at the door for a while. Then, he turned around and glanced at the Xiao family’s home before walking over.
At this moment, the Xiao family was about to eat.
“Uncle Jin!” The three siblings stood up and greeted Wu Jin when they saw him enter.
“Be good and eat first.” Wu Jin looked at Xiao Lin and Xiao Li with a loving smile and said gently.
Then, he looked at Xiao Sheng and said, “Eat first. I’ll wait for you in the living room. I have something to ask you.”
Xiao Sheng hurriedly pulled out a stool beside him. “Uncle Jin, sit down and eat.”
Wu Jin waved his hand. “No need. You guys can eat. My family already cooked my meal at home.” With that, he went to the living room and sat down.
Seeing this, the three Xiao family siblings sat down and started eating. Xiao Sheng quickly finished eating and entered the living room.
Xiao Sheng sat down with a puzzled expression. “Uncle Jin, what do you want to ask me?”
Wu Jin didn’t know about Xiao Sheng and Yu Bing’s cooperation. He only decided to come over to learn more about Xiao Sheng’s opinion of Yu Bing.
Wu Jin asked directly, “Are you familiar with Yu Bing?”
When Xiao Sheng heard this sudden question, his heart tightened. But, he replied as nonchalantly and calmly as he could, “Average. What’s wrong?”
Wu Jin told Xiao Sheng what Yu Bing had said just now. Xiao Sheng frowned when he heard this. He had to admit that Yu Bing’s suggestion was very good, but such a progressive made Xiao Sheng have the same doubts as Wu Jin in terms of execution. However, the feasibility of the idea would naturally be revealed when Wu Sheng returned from his investigation.
Therefore, Wu Jin asked again, “What kind of person is Yu Bing in your impression?”
Xiao Sheng thought to himself that Yu Bing was definitely greedy and sly, but he naturally didn’t reveal anything on the surface. Just like how he hid the fact that Yu Bing was doing business with Wu Jin in private, Xiao Sheng also hid his cooperation with Yu Bing from Wu Jin.
Xiao Sheng thought for a moment before replying seriously, “She’s capable and smart. She’s very adaptable. She looks petite, but she always has a sense of resilience that’s completely different from her appearance.”
Xiao Sheng’s answer matched the impression Yu Bing had given Wu Jin. He became more determined about the suggestion Yu Bing had given him and the decision he had made previously. He stood up and said to Xiao Sheng, “Alright, you can go about your own business. I’ll be going back.”
With that, Wu Jin left quickly.
Just as the excavation was in full swing, good news regarding the trap Xiao Sheng had dug previously came.
A wild boar fell into the trap. The wild boar looked very burly. After Xiao Sheng observed that the trap was deep enough, he was in no hurry to kill it. He only secretly got dozens of large grass fish and placed them in the mountain.
After estimating that he had saved up the right amount, he brought Yu Bing, Jiang Chun, and Xiao Lin into the mountain at dawn.
Xiao Sheng opened the cover used to hide the trap and saw that the wild boar was already lying weakly on the ground.
When Yu Bing saw this, she shouted excitedly, “Good heavens! There’s probably more than a hundred pounds!”
Xiao Sheng looked at Yu Bing and smiled. “I starved it for two days, so it shouldn’t have much strength now. I’ll stab it with a spear later. We have to move quickly. I’m worried that there are other large animals nearby. It’ll be troublesome if the smell of blood attracts them.”
Everyone nodded in understanding.
Xiao Sheng threw a special spear covered in plant anesthetic juice at the wild boar’s forehead. This spot was the wild boar’s Achilles’ heel. As expected, after the wild boar let out a scream, it struggled for a moment before completely stopping.
