[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully recruited Chu Yiren as your fourth member of the opposite sex in your family, advancing the main storyline!]

[Receive a special reward!]

Congratulations! Your system storage space has increased to 5 cubic meters!

The next morning, Chen Shan stretched and walked out of his room with a contented expression.

Looking at the rewards given by the system, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

Although this reward is not a physical prize!

But this increase in storage space is very useful!

The previous 1 cubic meter was not large enough to hold even large game or cargo.

When I join the army, I can bring more things with me in case of emergency.

"My lord, San Gouzi and the others are here."

"Didn't you say you'd put hunting on hold for a while?"

Liu Ruyu asked curiously.

"It's not about hunting, but about teaching them self-defense techniques so they don't end up as casualties on the battlefield."

Chen Shan had already considered this matter when he gathered these brothers.

Since they're building their own team, they naturally don't want them to be too weak; they need to have some means to survive.

"Yes, yes, it's fine as long as you decide, I'll go make breakfast."

"By the way, I heard from the villagers that a caravan will be coming in three days. It's said to be a caravan from a neighboring country."

Hearing Liu Ruyu's words, Xiao Ningning was stunned.

"A neighboring country? Isn't that the Qing Kingdom, the mortal enemy of the Great Xia? I remember the Great Xia has a clear order forbidding the Qing Kingdom from entering the pass. How could a caravan be allowed to enter?"

Xiao Ningning spoke with some emotion, and even her face showed a hint of anger.

Given her background, it's understandable that she would feel indignant towards such a national enemy.

Chen Shan didn't feel much about it!

After all, he didn't quite understand the chaotic situation of this era.

Even the original owner of this body was just a small hunter in this remote mountain village, with no chance to learn about the outside world.

"These things are beyond our control. Besides, you've all fallen to this state, so it wouldn't be surprising if something happened to Xia Kingdom."

Chu Yiren, who slowly emerged from behind the wall, agreed with Chen Shan's words.

"My lord is right. If the Xia Kingdom were at peace, why would we have suffered this calamity?"

Seeing that the three women all looked sad, Chen Shan immediately said:

"What do you mean by 'suffering such a calamity'? Is it because I haven't yet slept with you all?"

Chen Shan's teasing immediately made the girls blush, and Liu Ruyu even pinched them directly.

"Go on with your work, I'll call you when the food is ready."

The girls had all experienced Chen Shan's prowess firsthand, but hearing it out in person naturally made them feel embarrassed and ashamed.

Chen Shan didn't dwell on it much; he just didn't want them to be too immersed in the past.

After all, one should always look forward.

yard.

Seeing that all eighteen brothers had arrived, Chen Shan also set his sights on Xiao Ningning.

"Ningning, why don't you teach them the Xiao Family Fist? They don't need to learn everything, just enough to get a basic understanding."

It wasn't that Chen Shan was being secretive; rather, the Xiao Family Fist was not easy to learn. Chen Shan was exceptionally gifted, and with the six stones of power awarded by the system, his physical functions were greatly enhanced.

Therefore, they learn faster than the average person.

But Liu Sanshi and his group were different.

"Hmph, that's my family's traditional skill; how can it be passed on to outsiders so easily?"

With her hands on her hips, Xiao Ningning always wore a proud expression when talking about her own things.

Perhaps her arrogance also stems from her family upbringing.

"You're my wife now, why talk about 'your family' and 'my family'? Isn't it all ours?"

"Besides, it's just a formality for them to learn, it doesn't matter, as long as it helps them stay healthy."

Seeing Chen Shan say this, Xiao Ningning had no choice but to agree.

With Chen Shan as their sparring partner, not only will these eighteen brothers improve, but Chen Shan will also be able to hone his skills more effectively.

The power of the Six Stones makes him seem like a born god, but if he doesn't control his power well, it's difficult for him to unleash its full potential.

In the following days, all nineteen people in Kaoshan Village exercised. With plenty of food, everyone was full of energy every day.

Soon, a foreign caravan arrived.

Kaoshan Village is located close to the border. Although the village is not large, it is one of the main routes to the border town.

Therefore, caravans would travel back and forth at certain times of the year.

These are the only days the village can make money!

As for the county seat? That's a different story. After all, they're in the same place. The only thing that Kaoshan Village can offer is some wild game, which isn't anything special for the county seat.

Early in the morning, Liu Ruyu and her three companions had already prepared all kinds of meat dishes that they had prepared in advance.

"I wonder how much these things are worth, Little Ya. Do you think the caravan will need meat?"

"In the past, there were also merchants from the village, but they mostly just collected exotic items."

Liu Ruyu was somewhat worried.

Even if they can't sell the meat, they won't have much to lose. They can simply sell it at a low price in the county town and still make a profit.

But Liu Ruyu felt that since her husband had gone to so much trouble to get it back, it must be valuable.

When it comes to protecting Chenshan, Liu Ruyu is absolutely unambiguous.

"Don't worry, Sister Ruyu. I have the eye for this, especially knowing that a Qing Dynasty merchant caravan is coming. I'm sure I can sell it."

Wang Xiaoya spoke with great confidence, which piqued Chen Shan's curiosity.

"What? Are these Qing people still some kind of primitive, bloodthirsty bunch?"

"Hehe, not far off, but they don't really count. My husband knows what my family does. He used to have dealings with merchants from some countries through my father. Qing China is an extremely extravagant country among all nations, and they have a great fondness for meat."

"We only have pure wild game here, they won't miss it."

In that brief moment with Wang Xiaoya, Chen Shan gained some understanding of countries outside of Xia Kingdom.

According to the original owner's memories, he heard that the seven kingdoms are currently in chaos, and each kingdom has its own unique circumstances.

In addition to the seven kingdoms, there are also enemies.

Such a chaotic world truly makes it difficult for ordinary people to survive.

When a nation is strong, its people toil; when a nation is weak, its people suffer just as much.

"I'm really curious what these foreigners look like."

Chen Shan was somewhat expectant. The Qing Dynasty? He wondered if it was the same dynasty he knew.

"They're here! Boss Chen, the caravan is here."

Not far away, Liu Sanshi waved and shouted, this time it wasn't just Chen Shan who wanted to sell, but they did too.

The eighteen brothers had all stockpiled a lot of meat, so naturally they needed to exchange it for some silver.

Soon, the caravan came into view. The group was not large, but it still had more than a dozen people.

Moreover, their attire was different from that of the Xia Kingdom. Their foreheads were shiny and their heads were shaped like gourds. With just one glance, Chen Shan was certain that the Qing people were not much different from the dynasties he knew.

"Wow? So much meat?"
