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

After seeing the soldier off and closing the door, the atmosphere inside the room became somewhat tense.

"Shanzi!"

"If you said you wouldn't mind me, why did you agree to join the army and get a wife?!"

When Chen Shan returned to the house, Liu Ruyu lowered her head, her shoulders trembled, and her voice became increasingly choked with sobs.

Hearing his sister-in-law's words, Chen Shan felt helpless.

Women are good in every way, except they can't be reasonable.

He couldn't very well tell her that he had a family system and that he also wanted to become the overlord of a chaotic world, could he?

Seeing his sister-in-law so eager to become his wife, Chen Shan felt a surge of anger rising within him.

Liu Ruyu is 3 years older than him, but even so, she is only 22 this year.

Moreover, her appearance was not only no less than that of the meticulously styled celebrities of later generations, but even more simple and pure.

Especially the headlights; even when wearing coarse clothes, their movement is still clearly visible as one walks.

Not to mention, her clothes were already disheveled, revealing large areas of her snow-white skin and collarbone. Her delicate face, paired with her tearful eyes, made her look even more pitiful and moving.

[Ding! A beautiful woman with a score of 90 has been detected!]

Should they be brought into the family?

Just then.

In Chen Shan's view,

A notification appeared above Liu Ruyu's head.

[Liu Ruyu, rating 90].

[Affection Level: 80 (Completely infatuated!)]

hiss!

Chen Shan gasped.

I never expected the system to give my sister-in-law such a high rating.

Anyway... both parties are interested in each other.

Chen Shan gritted his teeth, deciding not to wait until tomorrow.

Now, he wants to bind Liu Ruyu as the first member of the opposite sex and win the reward!

"Sister-in-law, I told you, it's not your fault!"

Chen Shan took a deep breath, flipped himself onto the bed, and pinned Liu Ruyu down beneath him.

"what?"

Liu Ruyu didn't react for a moment and stared blankly at Chen Shan!

"I mean!"

"I agreed to their request because I'm too strong."

"From now on, your wife will only have your sister-in-law, which will be tiring for you!"

"The power of the Six Stones enhances more than just strength," Chen Shan said with a wicked grin, lowering his voice.

Liu Ruyu was stunned.

He immediately understood the implication behind Chen Shan's words.

"What nonsense! Who...who's afraid of getting tired?!"

"You're clearly making excuses, or you're just looking down on me!"

Her pretty face turned bright red, both ashamed and angry.

But she didn't believe him.

A hint of a smile flashed in Chen Shan's eyes.

He knew that words were inadequate in such matters.

Actions speak louder than words.

Without saying another word, he reached out and scooped Liu Ruyu up in his arms.

"Ah! Shanzi, what are you doing?!"

"Of course, it's to prove to my sister-in-law that I wasn't lying!"

[Ding! Liu Ruyu's favorability has increased by 10 points, reaching 90 (Unwavering Loyalty)!]

……

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Chen Shan then got up, looking very energetic.

The system granted him the power of six stones, making him exceptionally energetic.

Even if you've worked hard all night.

The next morning, he was still as energetic as an ox.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully recruited your first member of the opposite sex into your family, advancing the main storyline!]

[You can receive a special reward!]

Congratulations! You have acquired the complete hunting technique set (Master level, with instructions included)!

The system has started the settlement!

Chen Shan was overjoyed!

Before he could react!

A massive amount of memories then flooded into my mind!

In an instant, he mastered hunting skills such as setting traps and tracking scents!

You can even get a general sense of an animal's emotions from some of its calls!

Chen Shan transformed into a hunting master who had lived in the deep mountains and forests for decades!

"Such a powerful reward for simply recruiting one member of the opposite sex!"

"What if you have a large harem of wives and concubines..."

Chen Shan's heart was burning with excitement!

There's really hope for the days to come!

Next!

Chen Shan did not wake Liu Ruyu, but skillfully followed his memory to the kitchen of the house.

After searching around, I finally managed to cook a pot of porridge with the little rice I had left.

"Sister-in-law, get up and have some hot porridge!"

When he carried the porridge into the inner room, Liu Ruyu was still slumped on the bed.

"You brute... Get out of here!"

Although she was awake, Liu Ruyu was so lazy that she didn't want to move a single finger. Especially when she saw Chen Shan come in, her face was flushed, and she shyly buried herself in the quilt.

"Sister-in-law, do you believe what I said yesterday now?"

Chen Shan smiled and placed the porridge on the bedside table.

"Why are you still calling me sister-in-law!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyu peeked out from under the covers and gave him a complicated look.

"Well... Ruyu, get up and have your porridge!"

"The sun's already high in the sky, I can't stay in bed any longer!"

Chen Shan's smile widened even more!

"I can't get up... and it's all because of you!"

Liu Ruyu blushed and resignedly said, "You, you should go to the village entrance and find a wife. You're right, I really can't satisfy you by myself!"

"Shanzi, of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no descendants!"

"With your abilities, you should take another wife to continue the Chen family line. I won't stop you!"

"But you must remember this: if they send you to the battlefield immediately after giving you wives, you'll definitely be sent to be cannon fodder. Find a chance to run away as soon as possible; saving your life is the most important thing!"

Liu Ruyu paused, as if saying these few words had exhausted her last bit of strength.

"Ruyu, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. You get some rest and wait for me to come back!"

Chen Shan felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this.

What more could a man ask for than a woman who so diligently plans for herself?

After doing all this.

Chen Shan got dressed and went out to the village entrance to pick up his wife.

"I want to have two wives!"

"Niu Er, what are you bragging about? With your meager resources, your wife would be lucky to survive a month with you!"

"Don't listen to Niu Er's boasting and blindly choose wives like him! The government has regulations; even if you marry ten wives, you'll only get one month of leave!"

"Yes, if even one person starves to death during this time, the whole family will be conscripted into the army. Even my mother, who's over fifty, won't be able to escape!"

"Yes, remember that later. The wife should have a big bottom, so she can have children!"

"..."

At the entrance of Kaoshan Village, a dozen or so people had gathered under the old locust tree, ranging from teenagers to men in their thirties and forties.

Because of its proximity to the mountains and the rugged mountain roads, few women from other places are willing to marry into Kaoshan Village.

There have always been quite a few bachelors in the village.

It has been five years since I last joined the army and brought my wife home.

So this time, many bachelors in the village could no longer bear the loneliness of being single and signed up for the army.

Two soldiers were also under the old locust tree.

However, compared to the hopeful villagers, their expressions showed some impatience.

Clearly, this wasn't the first time they'd done this kind of work.

Before long, a donkey cart arrived.

The bus was crammed with more than twenty women whose faces were covered, making it impossible to see their features except for their eyes and noses.

"Everyone's here? The rules are simple: draw lots! Choose whichever lot you like, and whether it's auspicious or inauspicious, a blessing or a curse, it's all up to your fate!"

As the escort vehicle arrived, the bearded soldier with a pipe in his mouth grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

He shook the bamboo tube in his hand, which contained more than twenty bamboo sticks, each labeled with a number.

Looking at the scene before him, Chen Shan couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

This isn't about giving out wives; it's about distributing goods.

In chaotic times, human life is as cheap as a dog's.

There's not much to say right now; we can only follow the crowd and queue up.

While queuing.

He also noticed a suspicious look in his eyes.

A young man with a pointed face and monkey-like features, dressed in clothes a grade higher than the others, looked at Chen Shan with hostility in his eyes.

I searched through my memories.

Chen Shan immediately understood where this guy's hostility towards him came from.

This guy's name is Zhao Ergou.

After his elder brother died in battle, he always wanted to get close to Liu Ruyu, and even considered forcing himself on her.

As a result, he was repeatedly thwarted by the original owner of the body.

And that's why this guy dares to be so unscrupulous.

It's because his father was the local village head.

They have powerful backers.

"Zhao Ergou, what's wrong? Don't want a wife, want to fight?"

Seeing Zhao Ergou's gaze, Chen Shan naturally didn't tolerate him and spoke directly to him.

"snort!"

Zhao Ergou merely snorted coldly at this, then turned his head and walked away.

He knew in his heart that he was no match for Chen Shan in a fight.

After all, Chen Shan had been hunting in the mountains with his older brother since he was a child; he was a hunter who fought against wolves, tigers, and leopards every day.

Seeing that Zhao Ergou was moving away from him.

Chen Shan was too lazy to cause any more trouble!

Soon, many villagers walked toward the donkey cart and began to look at the wives on it!

Although her face is not clearly visible, her figure can be roughly seen.

The further forward in the line, the more robust and plump their figures.

The person in first place has a waist that's almost as thick as two buckets!

Despite being from a remote mountain village, she had a large number of people surrounding her!

Their eyes lit up, and some even drooled!

In those days, a strong and robust physique was the best choice for a wife, as she could not only bear children but also do farm work!

"Get out of my way, all of you! I, Zhao Er, want this wife!"

Zhao Ergou pushed through the crowd and went straight to the first, plump woman!

He grabbed his hand in one swift motion!

"Ah~"

The woman was startled and pulled her hand back, letting out a loud scream!

"Good, good, good! With such a powerful voice, you'll definitely give me a big, healthy son!"

Zhao Ergou walked over to the recruiting soldiers and drew the lot that represented the stout woman!

"Ugh!"

Seeing Zhao Ergou win the heart of the most beautiful woman, many villagers sighed!

But they knew that Zhao Ergou was the son of the village head!

Even if they were unwilling, no one dared to utter a word of objection!

So everyone had no choice but to turn their attention to the woman behind them!

With Zhao Ergou's incident of snatching a beauty precedent, the other villagers also sped up the process of choosing wives and drawing lots, fearing that something might go wrong!

Soon, only six women remained on the bus!

Of the men who haven't drawn lots yet, only Chen Shan remains!

then!

Chen Shan looked at the donkey cart.

Just then.

A system notification suddenly sounded.
