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

The accident at the mine was like a thunderclap that shook the entire county. The news swept through every village like a whirlwind, and the villagers put down their work and cast their eyes to the mine in the distance that was once prosperous but now in turmoil. There, many of their relatives and friends were working hard, and their lives and deaths were uncertain.

At this moment, the county town was bustling with people, like a pot of boiling water. In the streets and alleys, people gathered in groups of three or five, talking about things.

"I heard that there's trouble at the mine again. Those miners are so bold that they even dared to resist the county officials!" A middle-aged man shook his head and sighed, his face full of worry.

"That's right. I heard that several police officers were injured! Now County Magistrate Chen is mobilizing troops to deal with those miners." An old man nearby added, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Alas, these miners are forced into a desperate situation. Life in the mines is already difficult, and with the exploitation and oppression of the county government, how can they survive?" a young man said indignantly.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night. The news quickly spread to Qinghe Village, and the villagers talked about it, feeling uneasy.

Zhou Er sat under the dilapidated eaves, holding a bitter grass root in his hand, took a bite, and frowned. He looked up at Zhou Da, his eyes flashing with determination: "Brother, I can't live this miserable life anymore. I don't have enough to eat every day and I am laughed at by others. Why don't we go to the mines? I heard that they have defeated the county!"

Zhou Da sighed, his eyes deep: "Yeah, I also feel that I can't live anymore. At this time, maybe going to the mines is really a way to survive. If we continue like this, sooner or later, we will starve to death!"

The two looked at each other, and a look of determination flashed in their eyes. They decided to leave Qinghe Village before dark and go to the mine to find a way to survive.

At Lin Dashan's house, the family sat together in a solemn atmosphere. Lin Dashan frowned and looked at his three sons and said, "Have you heard those rumors? Someone at the mine has rebelled!"

"I heard about it, Dad." Lin Da said in a deep voice, "This matter has spread like wildfire, and the whole village knows about it."

"Yes, I heard about it too." The second son Lin Er added, "I heard that the miners rose up in rebellion because they couldn't stand the oppression."

Lin Dashan nodded, a serious expression on his face: "This is no small matter. Once it gets out of hand, I'm afraid the entire county will be affected."

"Then what should we do?" Lin Da asked worriedly.

Lin Dashan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "We must be prepared. If something really happens, we can deal with it."

Lin Da and Lin Er nodded in agreement. They began to discuss countermeasures and decided to hide the food and tools at home and strengthen patrols in the village just in case.

At this time, Lin Kunlun stood up, his eyes flashing with determination: "Father, eldest brother, second brother, I think for us, people are always the most important. If there is any danger, all the food and things can be thrown away, but we must protect ourselves. I think we should just find an excuse tomorrow and hide the children in the mountains. If the county calms down this matter, we will take them back."

Lin Dashan took a puff of his cigarette and thought this was a good decision. He nodded and said, "Alright, this is safer. You women should pack up your things quickly and send the children up the mountain before it gets dark."

Lin Kunlun continued, "Dad and big brother should just go up the mountain and not come down this time. After all, there are still wild animals on the mountain, and the children still need your protection. My second brother and I can stay here, and if there is no danger, we will notify you."

Lin Dashan was moved when he heard what Lin Kunlun said. He knew that although this family was poor, everyone was willing to sacrifice for the safety of the family. He nodded, indicating that he agreed with this decision.

That night, the lights in the Lin family were on, and the family was busy preparing for the unknown that was about to come. Meanwhile, the turmoil at the mine was also quietly spreading in the night, and it was unknown when it would subside.

The family quietly entered the forest under the cover of night. With Lin Kunlun leading the way with his senses, they had no danger along the way. They soon arrived in front of the large stone wall.

"Did you take the wrong road? There is no road here!" Lin Dashan asked involuntarily as he looked at the huge stone wall in front of him.

"Dad's cave is behind this stone wall! This is also the safest place in the cave. Even if someone searches it, they can't find the cave here!" Lin Da and Lin Kunlun came here last time. At this time, he said with a smile.

"Behind this stone wall! How can we get through?" Lin Dashan couldn't help but ask curiously. The moonlight in the sky allowed them to see the surroundings faintly. This stone wall was not small and was connected to the mountain.

"Of course, we have to go from the top!" Lin Kunlun smiled and climbed to the top of the big rock wall.

"From above?" Lin Dashan looked at Lin Kunlun with a puzzled look, and couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, they were going to take the children to hide in the mountains, and this was no joke.

Lin Kunlun seemed to see through his thoughts and explained with a smile: "Dad, don't worry. Although this rock wall is steep, there are some protruding stones and cracks on it. We can use them to climb up. Besides, I have been here before and know the way."

After hearing this, Lin Dashan felt relieved. He looked up at the stone wall. Although it was a bit steep, it didn't seem completely impossible to climb. So he nodded and decided to trust Lin Kunlun's judgment.

Lin Kunlun climbed up first and placed the rope ladder that he had prepared long ago.

"Okay, let's go from the top." Lin Dashan said, and took the lead to climb up. He used his hands and feet to climb up carefully, fearing that he would fall down if he was not careful.

Lin Da and several women followed closely behind, climbing up with difficulty. Although the process was a bit thrilling, fortunately everyone climbed to the top of the rock wall safely. On the contrary, several children climbed smoothly.

Standing on the top of the stone wall, Lin Dashan looked back and couldn't help but sigh: "I never thought there would be such a secret road here."

"Yes, I discovered it by accident." Lin Kunlun said with a smile, "Although this road is hidden, the cave it leads to is large enough for us to hide."

As he said this, he led the way towards the cave. The group carefully passed through a dense forest and finally arrived at the entrance of the cave.
