In a chaotic world, border soldiers begin their journey by enlisting in the army and getting married

Chen Shan gave the excited Chu Yiren a strange look!

I have a feeling that the other party is getting closer and closer, like an ancient strategist who would pledge allegiance to a powerful force!

They always think about how the people they are helping will achieve great things.

In short, he's too career-driven.

Moreover, compared to Wang Xiaoya, who was fearful from the beginning, and Xiao Ningning, who was preoccupied with her own worries!

Chu Yiren remained calm after becoming his wife!

He seems to have accepted his current identity quite easily!

But judging from the other party's manner of speaking, they seemed to be of unknown origin.

Such a contradiction is truly strange.

Never mind, they're all my women anyway, why think so much?

Chen Shan shook his head, banishing these distracting thoughts from his mind.

"She's right. When I join the army, it will be crucial to win over a group of fellow villagers who also join. Putting aside everything else, having someone to look out for you is better than anything else."

Hearing Chen Shan's explanation!

The other women also looked on with a sense of realization.

"We women shouldn't concern ourselves with these things. I'm sorry to have made you laugh, sir. Since you have your own considerations, we won't say anything more."

Liu Ruyu nodded.

He acted as if whatever Chen Shan said was law.

"After seeing Zhao Ergou off, I'm going to the mountains now."

As Chen Shan spoke, he was about to pick up the Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword) from Xiao Ningning's hand, preparing to go hunting in the mountains.

"Husband, wait a minute. What if that Zhao Ergou comes again?"

Wang Xiaoya called out to Chen Shan, clutching the hem of her clothes with her small hands, and said anxiously.

Chen Shan thought that Zhao Ergou had been beaten into a dead dog by him, so he shouldn't dare to come again.

But then I thought, one should always be wary of others; a cornered dog will do something desperate.

We should definitely take more precautions.

"Don't worry, I know martial arts too. If that Zhao Ergou dares to come any closer, I'll personally cripple him!"

Xiao Ningning struck a martial arts starting stance and said confidently.

Chen Shan looked him up and down.

It was discovered that Xiao Ningning had a stable center of gravity and coordinated movements, indicating that she had indeed practiced martial arts.

"That's not enough. It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. Just in case, I'll add another layer of insurance to my home."

Since the safety of four women was at stake, Chen Shan was not arrogant. After thinking for a while, he immediately came up with an idea.

……

Deep in the mountains.

A white and mixed-color hare is crouching in the bushes!

The cleft lip twitches as it rapidly chews wild grass!

At the same time, he kept a watchful eye on his surroundings, wary of the appearance of predators.

Whoosh!

An arrow suddenly shot out from the shadows of the bushes!

Before the hare could react, it was shot in the eye by an arrow and was dead.

Chen Shan pushed aside the bushes, picked up the wild rabbit, examined it for a few moments, and nodded in satisfaction.

"It weighs about three or four pounds and is quite fat. The rabbit meat and fur together are worth 150 coins, which is already the wages of an adult for four or five days of work."

After some estimation, the wild rabbit in Chen Shan's hand disappeared into thin air, having been placed into a one-cubic-meter storage space.

One cubic meter may not sound like much, but it's actually enough to hold 1000 kilograms of water. In my previous life, a small refrigerator only had a volume of 2 cubic meters, so one cubic meter is five times that volume.

Chen Shan caught so many prey last night!

It's easier to bring it down the mountain if you put it in the storage space!

When they arrived at the village entrance, they made sure the secret of the storage space wasn't discovered!

Only then did one person carry it home.

A great start!

Chen Shan continued to search for traces of his prey based on the clues found on the mountain.

Along the way, pheasants, rabbits, and even roe deer—all these small and common prey—could not escape Chen Shan's hunting.

With his mastery of the hunter, the composite bow, and the strength of a thousand pounds, Chen Shan is practically a hexagonal warrior!

Aside from top predators like bears and tigers!

There really isn't anyone who can threaten Chen Shan single-handedly.

However, this time Chen Shan went into the mountains!

They were not content with merely hunting small prey.

There's no need for bears or tigers, and Chen Shan isn't in a hurry to hunt them.

The deep mountains are rarely visited by people, and they are full of treasures.

"Buzzing!"

Before long, Chen Shan heard the buzzing of bees flying around.

Following the sound, Chen Shan quickly found its source.

On a cliff face at the foot of a mountain, rows of black honeycomb nests are clearly visible in the crevices of the rock!

Bees come and go, bringing pollen they've collected to the hive.

"This is truly good stuff!"

Chen Shan's eyes lit up immediately.

Bees are a treasure trove!

First, there's the honey produced. A pound of ordinary mountain honey costs 300 coins, equivalent to two large, fat rabbits.

More importantly, in ancient times when productivity was low, honey was a rare luxury.

Poor people rarely even get to see meat, let alone eat sweets!

Secondly, bee larvae, also known as bee sons, are also a rare delicacy!

Frying wild boar in oil makes it a delicious treat!

A single nest of bee pupae is worth one tael of silver, or 1000 copper coins, enough for a family of three to live on for a month!

Secondly, adult bees can be used to make wine, and honeycomb can be used to make candles and molds; its uses are numerous.

It's done!

Chen Shan didn't hesitate for long!

He skillfully found some ignition materials and tied them up!

After being lit with a tinderbox, the burning flame emitted thick black smoke, which was then thrown under the honeycomb.

Thick smoke billowed up, immediately causing a riot in the hive, with a large number of bees flying out!

But they were completely helpless against the burning clumps of grass!

As for Chen Shan, he had already hidden far away, so the bees had no way to get to him.

Before long, the bees were all dazed by the smoke and fell to the ground, disoriented and no longer a threat.

Upon seeing this, Chen Shan strode over!

Use a knife to remove the honeycomb from the cracks in the stone wall layer by layer.

First comes the honey. Gently scrape open the seal, and golden honey instantly gushes out.

Chen Shan took a bite, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"tasty!"

It's sweet, but not the cloying sweetness of industrial saccharin in later generations. It makes your mouth water and leaves a lingering aftertaste.

Buzz!

A few scattered bees flew over!

Although one or two beehives wouldn't be very toxic, Chen Shan didn't want to be stung at all. With a thought, he sent the beehive into his storage space.

Another advantage of storage space is that time stands still!

Although putting live animals in will kill them, the honey will not spoil no matter how long it is stored, and it will not leak everywhere when it is still.

After that, Chen Shan did the same thing, sending most of the beehives and the dizzy bees into the storage space.

However, Chen Shan did not go too far!

One-third of the honeycomb remained, containing both larvae and honey.

By recycling and not pushing things to the extreme, later hunters can reap the rewards.

After finishing cleaning up the beehive, Chen Shan intended to continue hunting, but suddenly his ears twitched, and he noticed something. He looked up sharply.

"What?!"

This sight startled Chen Shan!

A dark shadow appeared on the cliff above him, staring at him indifferently.

A black bear!
