Chapter 400 Scarface Guards the Gate for Her

Scarface led Lin Xiaotang to the room next to his, which was more like a bamboo shed than a room.

"You'll stay here. You have two days to come up with a solution, or even a god can't save you!"

Lin Xiaotang glanced at the surroundings, somewhat troubled, "I can make do with this environment, but this room has no doors or windows, it's just wide open like this. If any of your hundred or so brothers have designs on me, with my small body, I won't even have a chance to fight back. If I am humiliated, I would rather bite my tongue and die. You must guarantee my safety."

Ensure her safety?

How can this be guaranteed?

She's not an accessory that you can hang on your belt anytime.

Scarface thought for a moment and said, "If I were a woman, and you were sharing a room with me, I'd be a rough, uncultured guy, and you'd be a little girl. You wouldn't be sleeping in my room, would you?"

Lin Xiaotang smiled awkwardly, then boldly said, "Tomorrow I'll find a way to make sure all your brothers have enough to eat. Within five days I'll get you some medicinal herb seeds. It'll be free, no robbery or money involved. How about that?"

Tomorrow, make sure all the brothers have a full stomach.

You want to get medicinal herb seeds for free without robbing me?

Is this little girl just bragging?

He looked at her with disbelief, "Little girl, you're getting better and better at spouting nonsense. If you're so capable, do you think your family are just some country bumpkins?"

Lin Xiaotang smiled and said, "My family used to be farmers in the countryside, but later we made some money doing business and moved to the county. We just happened to run into you on this official road because we were on our way to the capital to do business."

Scarface suddenly looked up, his face full of surprise, his eyes filled with disbelief, anger, and murderous intent.

He gritted his teeth and roared, "I was wrong to think you were rich! You just let your parents and two kids leave like that!"

This lucrative opportunity slipped right under his nose!

Scarface was filled with rage. He slapped the simple wooden table in the room to pieces, wishing he could smash Lin Xiaotang to pieces as well.

He said, “Since your family has money and your parents are reluctant to part with you, if you can’t think of a way, I can use you to exchange for money with your parents. This deal won’t be a loss, and I won’t be stuck with it.”

Now that her parents and younger siblings are safe, she has no more worries and is not so afraid anymore.

She pretended to be relaxed and said, "How much silver can you get by exchanging me and my parents? There are only a few people in my family, and we can all earn silver. There are about a hundred strong men on this mountain. With more people, there is more strength. As long as we work hard, the amount of silver we can earn is immeasurable. We need to think long-term!"

Scarface thought about it and realized that made sense. But none of his men were honest. Their personalities weren't formed overnight, and it would be hard to change their lazy and gluttonous nature in a few days.

He said with a worried look, "I would like to plant medicinal herbs as you suggested, but all my brothers are so lazy. Even if I order them to plant medicinal herbs and clear land, they will just do it perfunctorily and won't work hard."

Lin Xiaotang extended a finger and wiggled it from side to side a few times.

"This can't be rushed. If we guide it slowly, things will get better eventually."

If someone can't persevere and has no chance of abandoning evil and doing good, they can be sent directly to the government, which will save them food rations.

However, she had not yet fully gained Scarface's trust, so she naturally dared not speak out.

Scarface nodded and said, "I hope so, but where can we get these medicinal seedlings? Will five days be enough time?"

"When I left, I told my father to write a letter and arrange for medicinal herb seeds to be sent up the mountain. The quantity will not be too large, but it will definitely be enough for this season. If there are too many, these rough and unskilled people who have never done any work will not be able to finish planting them. My father wrote the letter back to Dushui County, and then transported the seeds from Dushui County. Five days will definitely be enough."

Scarface was shocked to find that the little girl had already made all the arrangements. He thought to himself that this little girl was really something else. If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him was actually a teenager, he would have thought he was seeing things.

He said excitedly, "You little girl are really capable. If you can really lead my brothers to make money and have enough to eat, I'll give you the position of second-in-command. How about that?"

Lin Xiaotang grinned, "What's so great about being the second-in-command? I'll make you the richest man. After we make money, we can surrender to the government and walk around the world openly and honestly. We can spend our money with dignity and be rich lords. How about that?"

The smile on Scarface's face vanished, and he sighed, "We've been involved in robbery and kidnapping, and we're wanted by the authorities, which is why we have to hide in these mountains. How can we ever have the chance to walk openly in the world and spend money honestly?"

Lin Xiaotang asked, "Just between you and me, do you have any murder cases on your record?"

The scarred man's face remained inscrutable, and he did not answer.

Lin Xiaotang did not ask any further questions.

If someone is wanted for murder, it's a very difficult situation. Even if they surrender, the authorities won't let them go. It all depends on how the authorities determine the crime and sentence them.

However, not all of the hundred or so bandits on this mountain are heinous criminals with murder convictions. With proper guidance, they could still have a chance to abandon evil and become honest ordinary people.

She said, "Things will work themselves out. Let's fill our stomachs first, grow medicinal herbs, and earn money. Maybe the government will see that we have a good attitude and can contribute to the court, and give us opportunities in the future. Who knows?"

Scarface was moved by her words and finally agreed to her bold request. He then stood guard in front of her bamboo house all night, carrying a knife.

Several bandits, harboring lustful thoughts, secretly plotted against the girl, but seeing their leader personally guarding her, they had no choice but to give up.

Lin Xiaotang slept relatively well that night. After all, she and her father had ruined Scarface's plans, but Scarface not only didn't kill her, he was also willing to give her a chance to prove that she could lead this group of bandits to make money. The fact that a bandit was willing to guard the door for her proved that she was still safe for the time being.
