Chapter 174: Changes in the Cave
In the quiet village, Lin Kunlun stared at the distant sky and was silent for a moment. His eyes flashed with a determined light, as if there was a flame dancing. He took a deep breath and spoke slowly, with an unquestionable firmness in his voice: "I am going to lead some people in the village to join the Southwest Rebel Alliance that Sun Ying and others are about to establish. Now, the outside world is in chaos, and we must have our own military force to protect our homes and ensure our safety."
His voice echoed in the empty village, like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart. Shock and confusion appeared on Lin Er's face. Lin Er exclaimed: "Your idea is too crazy! What will you do if there is any danger?"
Lin Kunlun turned around and faced Lin Er, with a faint smile on his face. He shook his head gently and said, "Now, we are already in troubled times, how can we have any peace? In the days to come, food will become increasingly difficult to obtain, and our lives will become even more difficult. Can you guarantee that the situation will get better next year? Can you guarantee that the next time bandits or soldiers come to attack, we can resist them with these dozens of people?"
His words were full of helplessness towards reality and worries about the future. He looked at Lin Er, his eyes gleaming with anticipation: "So, I hope you can lead some people to join the Rebel Alliance with me. These people will be the starting point for our brothers in the future. Only when I have my own people can I speak with confidence and strive for more living space for all of us!"
As soon as Lin Kunlun finished speaking, Lin Er fell silent, lowered his head, and fell into deep thought. They knew that Lin Kunlun's words were not groundless. In this chaotic world, they really needed a strong force to protect themselves. And Lin Kunlun's proposal was undoubtedly a feasible option.
Finally, Lin Er raised his head and looked at Lin Kunlun. His eyes were full of determination and trust. He knew that Lin Kunlun was a man with foresight and courage. He was willing to follow him and fight for his home together!
"Should we discuss this matter with father and the others?" Lin Er suddenly asked at this time.
"I have already decided on this matter! You should quickly select people who are willing to follow us. It is best if they are not afraid of death or are on the same page with you! We will definitely not treat those who follow us unfairly and will give them a batch of food to settle down!" Lin Kunlun thought for a while and said. This is why he arranged for his second brother to lead the team at that time.
He believed that his second brother could definitely make those people follow him!
"Okay! Since you have decided! I will arrange it as soon as possible!" Lin Er nodded.
"Then, I'll go to the mountain to see father and the others first! Second brother, you can pass our news to those people later! I want them to know that as long as they follow me, they will be rewarded handsomely! If you don't want to follow me, don't force it. After all, if you go out again, you don't know when you can come back. We have to take away those who follow us wholeheartedly."
In the afterglow of dusk, Lin Kunlun's figure gradually disappeared on the path at the entrance of the village. He walked firmly, and had already made up his mind. He knew that this decision was not only related to his personal destiny. It was also related to his entire family. He didn't know what would happen in the future. Would the Da Kun Dynasty put all its energy into suppressing these rebels? Or would these rebels eventually overthrow the Da Kun Dynasty. Anyway, he had made his family live better in this chaotic world before. It also gave him more power to obtain more natural treasures and more spiritual things.
He came to the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, passed through a thorn bush, and finally came to a huge stone. This stone completely blocked the way forward. It also prevented people from discovering that there was another cave behind. For safety reasons, they did not carve a road here. So Lin Kunlun still had to climb over the stone.
Lin Kunlun had just jumped off the rock when a white figure rushed towards him.
Before Lin Kunlun could see clearly, he felt something hugging his legs.
Only then did he see clearly that the one hugging his feet was a white fox. The white fox had also undergone some changes during this period and had grown a lot.
Lin Kunlun smiled and picked up the white fox.
"Little guy, I haven't seen you for so long, do you miss me?" Lin Kunlun stroked the white fox as he walked towards the cave. Before entering the cave, he placed a few bags of food at the entrance.
At this time, only a baby voice was heard.
"Xiaobai! Xiaobai, where have you been? Sister, have you seen Xiaobai? Did he sneak out to play again?"
As soon as Lin Kunlun heard the voice, he knew it was his little daughter Lin Hua.
"Xiaobai is scared of you! Don't always grab its tail!" Lin Yan chased her sister out. After not seeing her for a few months, the little girl has become more and more sensible.
When the two men arrived at the entrance of the cave and saw it, Lin Kunlun couldn't help but scream out.
"Dad! Dad, you're back!"
"Dad, you're finally back! Where have you been all this time?"
Lin Hua had already run over by this time and hugged Lin Kunlun directly.
Their shouts startled the adults in the cave. Lin Kunlun's parents, Liu Ye, and his eldest brother all came out.
"Third son, you're finally back!" When his mother saw him, she couldn't help but look at him carefully, fearing that her third son had been hurt.
"Dad and Mom! I'm fine! Don't worry, I will take good care of myself!" Lin Kunlun said with a smile!
"I heard from your second brother! A few days ago, there were bandits who were about to enter the village to rob! Fortunately, the self-defense force they trained drove them away! It's too chaotic outside! Otherwise, you might as well hide in this cave for a while! There is a spring in this cave. Although the amount of water is not large, it is enough for our family if we use it sparingly! We also use some vegetables and sorghum in the spring water! Together with the wild vegetables around, it is enough for our family to live for a long time!" Lin Kunlun's father said at this time. He is an honest old farmer, not good at speaking. But his words dispelled the concerns of everyone. What he wanted was a family, and everyone was together in peace.
"Dad, the situation outside is very complicated now! I will tell you in detail later!" Lin Kunlun said with a smile.
"I brought a few more bags of food, you guys store them first!"
"Okay, let's all go in first. We are currently making dinner, so let's talk after we finish eating!" said Lin Kunlun's mother.
Lin Kunlun walked into the cave at this time. After entering, he found that the whole cave had undergone a great change. The cave was divided into rooms one by one by using the logs cut from the forest.
In this way, everyone has their own environment and will not interfere with each other. Since the cave is large enough, there is still a lot of space for children to do activities.
They also built a food storage area with logs. The food was placed high up and covered with a layer of dry leaves to prevent it from getting damp.
They also dug a new pool for water storage at the spring. This way, the water from the spring would not flow out, but would be stored for their use.
"Dad! Where have you been during this time? I heard from grandpa that it's very chaotic outside now!" Lin Yan suddenly asked at this time!
"Dad has gone out to earn food! But don't worry, Dad has a way to protect his own safety!" Lin Kunlun looked at his daughter with a smile!
"Dad, are you going out this time?" This question was asked by his eldest son Lin Shi!
"I have to go out for a while! I have something very important to do!" You may not be able to explain it for a while. In fact, if he was in his original body, an ordinary person. It would be best for the family to stay in this cave and barely survive here. But what he has to do now is to collect more spiritual things. Let the space expand as soon as possible. Only then can he get more treasures. The most important thing is that it is possible to open the space to go back.
In fact, if it was a dynasty with rigid class structure, a peasant like Lin Kunlun would have no chance.
But the Dakun Dynasty is now facing internal and external troubles. Coupled with the corruption and abuse of power by those bureaucrats, it is time to change the world. It is also an opportunity for him to climb to a higher position. Since there is such an opportunity, as a time traveler, he must seize it.
