In the famine, others ate Guanyin soil, but he had space to build a farm.

Sure enough, the bowl of porridge every day is like a spark in the cold wind, burning in the hearts of the villagers and bringing a touch of warmth. The faces of those simple and hardworking villagers in the past are now full of determination and positivity, as if all the hardships and difficulties seem insignificant in front of this persistent persistence.

In the village, smoke from cooking rises up, interweaving with the setting sun in the sky, forming a peaceful and vibrant picture. However, the smoke cannot hide the hunger on the faces of the villagers. Many families have not seen a grain of rice for many days, and can only rely on those inconspicuous wild vegetables and tree roots to make a living. And that bowl of porridge is like a beam of light in the darkness, illuminating the road ahead and giving them endless strength.

"I want to sign up!" Suddenly, a loud voice broke the silence of the village. It was Li Dazhuang from the village. He was the first to stand up, with a determined light in his eyes. His voice was like a thunder, echoing in the village, stirring up the passion and pride of the villagers. Then, as if inspired by something, more and more villagers stood up and expressed their willingness to join the Self-Defense Force to jointly protect the home they loved.

Lin Kunlun stood aside, watching this scene, but he was worried. He knew that although this self-defense team was good, if the whole village participated, the work of finding food would be affected. After a little thought, he walked to the old village chief and whispered his concerns. The old village chief listened, and a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes. He thought for a moment, nodded in agreement and said: "This is a good idea. Ten people in the village every day can also guarantee the safety of the village to a certain extent."

So, the villagers started to get busy. Some continued to look for food, while others started to prepare for training. Although life was still difficult, they had more hope and determination in their hearts. Because they knew that as long as they had unity and courage, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

Lin Kunlun's second brother also joined the Self-Defense Force without hesitation. He knew that only by joining the Self-Defense Force could the family gain more survival opportunities at critical moments. When the Self-Defense Force was really needed, they would also have enough strength to protect their homeland.

The old village chief was a veteran who had participated in the war. He quickly found a way to solve the shortage of weapons. He asked the villagers to cut down a batch of ash tree trunks and sharpen them to use as spears. He also personally taught the villagers how to use spears to stab, which was the most commonly used method in the military.

Wang Jie watched as twenty villagers were holding up spears made of ash tree trunks in unison and practicing assassination moves under the guidance of the old village chief. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Professional things should be done by professionals." He saw that the moves practiced by the villagers, although simple, were full of strength and skills, and were obviously much stronger than those who had never practiced.

"Old village chief, it's not enough to just use ash tree poles. Can we make some real weapons?" Wang Jie looked at the ash tree poles inserted into the straw man. Although they could play a certain role, their attack power was obviously insufficient.

The old village chief nodded and said in a deep voice, "We need to make some spearheads. But you have to know that Dakun's laws have very strict control over weapons. In the past, if we made spearheads privately, we would probably be surrounded and attacked by soldiers soon. But the situation is different now, and those soldiers can't control it. We can make some privately, and as long as we are not reported, there should be no problem."

"Then I will arrange for the village blacksmith Xu to make a batch of spears tonight!" Lin Kunlun said immediately after hearing this. He knew that with these spears, the safety of the villagers would be better guaranteed.

"It's better that I go with you at night, otherwise I'm afraid he won't dare to answer!" The old village chief nodded with a smile.

"By the way, have your parents and your eldest brother gone into hiding in the mountains?" the old village chief suddenly asked. He had guessed it a long time ago when he hadn't seen Lin Kunlun's parents in the past two days, but he had never asked.

"Yes! In the current situation, no one knows when a group of bandits or refugees will come! It is still safer in the mountains! This is why I have always advised the villagers to hide in the mountains!" Lin Kunlun knew that the village chief could not hide anything.

"You are the blessing of your ancestors for your Lin family to have you! Without sufficient food, who would dare to hide in the mountains? We are lucky to be able to hold on now. I am old now, and I can't take care of the affairs of the Self-Defense Force. I will let you manage the Self-Defense Force in the future! And you also provide the food, so you should be the captain!" The old village chief thought for a while and said. No one else had any objection to Lin Kunlun being the captain. After all, people who eat people's food are soft-hearted. Well, the food for cooking porridge was provided by Lin Kunlun.

"Let my second brother be the captain! I may not be in the village all the time. If something happens, it will be troublesome! My second brother is very suitable!" Lin Kunlun said with a smile. You know, this Self-Defense Force is the only armed force in the village. Naturally, it must be controlled by our own people. But he doesn't want to lead these Self-Defense Forces on patrol and training every day.

"Your second brother! That's fine too. He can work with the captain of the Self-Defense Forces and he can be the captain too!" The old village chief nodded as he looked at Lin Er who was training with everyone.

The two of them came to the home of blacksmith Xu at the east end of the village.

"The craftsmanship of this blacksmith Xu is good enough to be taken to the military's craftsman camp! So there is absolutely no problem in asking him to forge the spearhead!" said the old village chief as he walked.

Lin Kunlun did remember this blacksmith Xu. But in his memory, he was a very quiet person. Even the children didn't want to provoke him. The farm tools he made were very strong and durable. I think he had some skills. It shouldn't be difficult for him to make ordinary spearheads.

When blacksmith Xu saw the two men coming, he immediately stopped what he was doing.

"Old village chief! Why are you two here?" When blacksmith Xu saw the two people coming, he hurried out of the kitchen.

"It's nothing big, I just came to see you and ask for your help in making a few spears!" Lin Kunlun said with a smile.

When the blacksmith Xu heard this, his face changed. He had been honest all his life, but he knew that weapons were not something that everyone could make! If the court knew about this, he would be charged with treason! "I only know how to make hoes and farm tools. How can I make weapons? Old village chief, you are kidding me!"

"Old Xu, you still don't believe me! This is built for the self-defense force of our own village! And you should know how chaotic the world is now. If we don't make some self-protection things, we will get into trouble sooner or later! Don't worry, even if the government finds out, it has nothing to do with you. Those things are bought by me from outside!" The old village chief said, patting his chest.
