Don't worry, I have food, money and space.

After Xia Baolin's reminder, Xia Zhaoli finally realized that there were indeed many things wrong at that time, and Zhao had also reminded him of the same thing at that time, but he did not pay attention to it at that time.

"Then why didn't you say anything at that time? Did you see your grandmother chasing you out with your own eyes?" Xia Zhaoli seemed to understand something, and he shouted at the violent man.

"Yes, I saw her leave with my own eyes. I didn't know that my grandma had a problem at the time. How can you blame me for this? Aren't you the one who should be blamed the most?"

"Blame me? That person is my mother. Who would doubt whether his mother is his mother for no reason?" Xia Zhaoli refused without thinking.

"So this is your fault, not mine."

"you……"

"Okay! It's already this late and you're still arguing here." Xia Yaoyao really couldn't bear to watch it anymore and quickly spoke up to stop them.

Xia Baolin glanced at Xia Yaoyao and stopped talking, just continued to play with his fingers. Xia Zhaoli snorted and didn't intend to say anything else.

Xia Yaoyao was shivering from the cold and was growing increasingly hungry. She had been able to fill her stomach with water before, but now water could no longer make her feel full.

She now felt that she was getting weaker and weaker. She could no longer sit there and wait for death. If she continued like this, let alone seeking refuge with her aunt, she might be dead before she even got there.

Thinking of this, Xia Yaoyao stood up firmly and said to Xia Zhaoli and Xia Baolin: "Dad, brother, you guys take a rest first. I'll go out and see if there is anything to eat."

"Then go quickly and don't waste time." Xia Zhaoli said impatiently.

Seeing this, Xia Yaoyao looked at the two of them deeply for a few seconds, then left without looking back.

Xia Yaoyao huddled up and walked aimlessly in the snow. The only reason she was able to hold on until now was because of her belief that she was the destined Phoenix Girl.

"What's going on? Why did the sky and the earth switch?" Xia Yaoyao muttered to herself before fainting.

"Mom, there is a woman in the snow ahead." A man said to the madam in the carriage.

The madam was originally sitting in the carriage, pretending to be asleep. She was thinking about where to go to find a decent woman. When she heard the eunuch's words, she opened her eyes and said, "Stop, go over and see what's going on."

The eunuch stopped the carriage next to Xia Yaoyao, gently pushed her hair aside, and showed her face to the madam: "Mom, take a look."

The madam heard the voice, pulled up the curtain, glanced at Xia Yaoyao and said, "She looks good, take her back."

"Yes!" The turtle slave responded and directly carried Xia Yaoyao into the carriage. Ou Pei then drove the carriage away quickly.

Xia Zhaoli and Xia Baolin waited for a long time but Xia Yaoyao didn't come back, so they went to sleep cursing at each other. However, no matter how sleepy they were, they always woke up because they were too hungry to sleep.

"Lin'er, if we go to your aunt for help, will she take us in?" Xia Zhaoli couldn't sleep anyway, so he simply pulled his son aside to chat.

Xia Baolin was not asleep actually. After hearing what Xia Zhaoli said, he was silent for a moment and said, "Dad, there are only two of us left in our family now, and the conditions at my aunt's house are not good, so why don't we not go."

"Huh? Not going? If we don't go to your aunt, then where else can we go? Do you have any better ideas?" Xia Zhaoli didn't understand what Xia Baolin meant by this, so he could only guess.

Xia Baolin gritted his teeth and made a decision, saying, "Dad, have you noticed that there are more and more refugees now? I guess the area affected by this snowstorm is quite large."

Xia Zhaoli had had enough of the days of hunger and cold: "Yes, I noticed it too, but what does it have to do with where we go to complain? Do you have any ideas? Tell me now."

Xia Baolin glanced around and whispered in Xia Zhaoli's ear, "Dad, there is nothing to worry about in our current situation. Why don't we follow the boss and fight the mountain bandits?"

Xia Zhaoli was shocked by Xia Baolin's words and shouted, "What? Being a bandit!"

Xia Baolin quickly covered Xia Zhaoli's mouth and said softly, "Dad, what do you want to do? You want to die, but I don't."

Xia Zhaoli nodded and pointed his finger at his mouth, motioning Xia Baolin to take his hand away. Xia Baolin said softly, "I'll put my hand down, but you can't yell like that."

After Xia Baolin put his hand down, he said to Xia Zhaoli, "Dad, what else can we do if we don't become bandits? In our current situation, we will either freeze to death or starve to death. If we become bandits in the mountains, we can still survive. If we are lucky, we can even be recruited by the imperial court."

Xia Zhaoli was aroused by Xia Baolin's words. He was thinking about the feasibility of this matter. Xia Baolin saw that Xia Zhaoli was a little loose, so he decided to give him another strong dose of medicine.

Xia Baolin stood up and straightened his clothes: "Since you don't want to go with me, then forget it, I'll go alone, don't blame me for not taking you with me when the time comes."

Seeing his son about to leave, Xia Zhaoli quickly stood up and chased after him: "Look at you, why are you in such a hurry? I didn't say I won't go."

Xia Baolin's mouth curled slightly: "Then let's go quickly. I know there is a group of bandits nearby. I happen to know this group of bandits. I am the lifesaver of the leader of the mountain stronghold here."

After hearing what Xia Baolin said, Xia Zhaoli instantly gained confidence and began to urge Xia Baolin: "Hurry up, don't dawdle, the sooner you arrive, the sooner you can feel at ease."

Xia Baolin looked at his father's anxious expression and said nothing more. He followed him. On the way, Xia Zhaoli asked, "Lin'er, how did you save the leader of this village? What's his name?"

When Xia Baolin heard his father asking about the cause of the incident, he thought of what happened before, his face immediately sank, and he spoke in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Dad, why are you asking so much? When we get there, we must behave ourselves and keep a low profile. The people in the village are not good people."

"Also, when you get there, you must listen to me and do everything I say. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, I can't protect you." Xia Baolin warned sternly.

Xia Zhaoli asked nervously, "Lin'er, I heard that if we want to join them, we need a token of our allegiance, right?"

Xia Baolin frowned and looked at Xia Zhaoli: "Dad, where did you hear this?"

"In opera, isn't that how it's sung in opera?" Xia Zhaoli said proudly.
