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

After Xia Zhaoli's reminder, Xia Baolin did think of the need to use a token of surrender, but he did not have any valuables on him, so what could he have that would make the boss accept him?

Do I really have to send myself up there? Even though I'm already a eunuch, sending myself up there like this is not a good thing.

Xia Baolin couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He could send himself up, but he absolutely couldn't just send himself up like that. As the saying goes, it's not a good deal to be the one who's trying to get ahead.

Xia Zhaoli didn't know what Xia Baolin was thinking, and just kept talking to himself: "What can we use for this token of surrender? We don't have any money, and we don't have any things."

"If we were in Shanghe Village now, that would be great. We could still think of a way to get some from Sanfang. Now that we've been kicked out, there's nothing we can do."

When Xia Baolin heard this, he praised sincerely, "Dad, you are really smart. Xia Yanxin's family is our token of loyalty!"

Xia Zhaoli didn't know what Xia Baolin meant by this: "Son, if the Third House knew that we wanted to take money from them as a token of our loyalty, they would definitely find a way to kill us, so you'd better give up on this idea."

Xia Baolin narrowed his eyes slightly: "Dad, our family was driven out of the village just like that. From now on, there is no place to shelter us, and our family is broken up. Dad, are you willing to accept this?"

"Dad, it's all Xia Yanxin's fault that our family is in this state now. If they hadn't severed ties with us, we wouldn't be in such a miserable state!"

"Dad, if they were willing to give us the money they transferred, we wouldn't have become bandits. My brother and I should be studying in the academy now, and my sister could marry Mr. Wei, and you would be the father of Mr. Wei's wife. If it weren't for the changes in Xia Yanxin's family, who would dare to look at you coldly when you go out? Even the county magistrate would look at you with respect when he sees you."

Xia Zhaoli thought about his family members who had died or scattered, and also thought about his family's current miserable state. He clenched his hands, which were originally hanging on both sides of his body, and said, "You are right. The source of all these tragedies is the Ye family. This family is full of bastards, and they are specifically designed to bring bad luck to us."

"Lin'er, as long as they die, our family will be able to rise again. Let's quickly go to the village you know and make a good plan."

Xia Baolin smiled, which was rare for him. "Dad is right. Let's go find the boss and tell them about this."

"Stop, this road was built by me, and this tree was planted by me. If you want to pass through here, you have to leave some money for passage." A man dressed as a bandit walked up and blocked the way of the father and son.

Xia Zhaoli saw a group of people dressed like bandits talking in a ferocious manner. He cowardly hid behind Xia Baolin and said, "Son, hurry up and tell them that you know their boss."

Xia Baolin took a deep breath, stepped forward and said: "The king of heaven can cover the tiger of earth, but the tiger of earth can't cover it. What can you do?"

One of them stepped forward and answered: "The pagoda can suppress the river monster, but the river monster cannot be suppressed. Ask me, there is no answer! Oh, it turns out to be one of our own!"

Xia Baolin saw the two different faces of the bandit and could only snort in disdain in his heart, but he still said enthusiastically: "Yes, we are a family. Excuse me, is Boss Huhu in the mountain?"

"Our boss is on the mountain. How about I ask someone to take you up? Our boss has been really worried these days. How about I take you up?"

Xia Baolin couldn't wait to hear that: "That's great, I couldn't wait to hear that."

"You're welcome. Everyone on the mountain calls me Achou. This is your first time here. I've never seen you before." Achou patted Xia Baolin's shoulder and said enthusiastically.

"Brother Chou, my name is Xia Baolin, that is my father. This is indeed our first time here. Please, Brother Chou, take us up the mountain to meet Brother Huhu." Xia Baolin lowered his attitude very low.

Xia Zhaoli saw Xia Baolin was already introducing himself to someone, so he had to stand up straight and greet him: "Hello, Brother Chou, please take care of me in the future."

Ah Chou patted his chest and said, "If you want to stay in the mountain, I will take good care of you."

"Tall guy, I'll take these people up the mountain first, and you keep watch carefully up and down. If there are big fish, be sure to inform the brothers." Achou said to the tall guy.

The tall man nodded and said, "Go ahead. I'll be watching here. Besides, it's so cold, who would dare to show up? And don't worry, I won't let anyone go."

Achou gently bumped the tall man's elbow, then glanced at Xia Baolin and his son. The tall man nodded slightly. Seeing that the tall man understood, Achou stopped talking nonsense and turned around to take Xia Baolin and his son up the mountain.

"Put this on first. This is the rule of the underworld. I hope you understand." Ah Chou took out two black cloth strips and put them on the eyes of the two men without saying a word.

Xia Zhaoli originally wanted to say something else, but Xia Baolin pulled him back and shook his head at him. Xia Zhaoli could only obediently let Achou blindfold him.

Achou was originally a talkative and clever person, so on the way up the mountain, Achou had already found out everything about Xia Zhaoli's family.

When they reached the mountain, Achou asked Xia Baolin and his son to wait at the gate of the stronghold while he went in to report first.

Not long after, Ah Chou led a tall and fat man out of the village. Ah Chou was about to pull off Xia Baolin's black cloth, but was stopped by the people around him: "Ah Chou, you have done a great deed this time. You take Xiao Linzi's father to the guest room to rest first. I will personally receive Xiao Linzi."

"Yes, boss!" After saying that, Ah Chou directly took off the cloth strip off Xia Zhaoli, and then took him to the guest room to rest without saying anything.

The first thing Xia Zhaoli wanted to ask when he entered the room was where Xia Baolin was taking him and what they were discussing. He always felt unsafe without Xia Baolin around.

"Sir, you rest here tonight. Your son is discussing things with our boss." Ah Chou saw Xia Zhaoli's concerns, so he explained to Xia Zhaoli as soon as he entered the room.

Xia Zhaoli wanted to continue asking questions but was interrupted by Ah Chou: "I advise you to stay in your room and don't wander around. If someone hurts you or does something to you, you can't blame others."

Xia Zhaoli shuddered when he heard Ah Chou's words. He hugged himself and said, "Then I won't go out. But can you ask someone to prepare some food for me? I haven't eaten for a long time."
