Good luck every time

Li Ruyi set out early and arrived at the destination after walking for more than two hours. It was just past noon and the hunters who were going into the mountains were waiting for Li Ruyi in the village.

I was also very happy to see her come as agreed.

He was not good at speaking and was a very silent person. He was with his two dogs. When he saw Li Ruyi picking up so many things, he wanted to help but did not dare to speak.

People may not be willing to leave their eating utensils with strangers.

Li Ruyi really didn't plan to rely on the old hunter. If she couldn't even handle these things, then there was no need to mention more things.

The old hunter’s surname is Chen, he is thirty-seven years old this year, and he wears a red belt that is neither new nor old around his waist.

Li Ruyi called him Uncle Chen. As soon as the two dogs he brought entered the forest, they disappeared from Li Ruyi's sight. However, occasionally the sound of their running could be heard, and from time to time their heads would appear in the gaps.

They were very familiar with the forest and waited until they had run for a while before coming out again and circling around the two of them.

At this time, Uncle Chen would call them and ask them to stay away from Li Ruyi, for fear that Li Ruyi would be scared.

Aunt Chen is an old customer of Li Ruyi. She likes Li Ruyi's head flowers the most and buys a lot every time. Li Ruyi will also give her one or two flowers as a gift.

You'll become familiar with it after a while.

Aunt Chen's status in their village is roughly equivalent to that of Han Liu's sister-in-law. She knows everything you ask her.

When he heard that Li Ruyi wanted to go into the mountains, he started talking about his mother's home.

Speaking of the difficult life in the mountains, with a lack of food and clothing, when she heard that Li Ruyi wanted to go, she directly asked her husband to take her there.

Li Ruyi said he would give money, and the two sides argued for a while.

But human relationships are human relationships, and business is business.

If Li Ruyi didn't give money, Uncle Chen would still take her with him, but he would definitely put himself first.

But Li Ruyi gave him money, and Uncle Chen had to tell Li Ruyi about things in the mountains for the sake of the money. If Li Ruyi walked slowly, he would have to wait for a while.

The mountains here and the mountains behind Sanjia Village are on the same mountain range and are both outlying areas.

There are only a few villages on the outskirts, and there are even more ferocious beasts inside. There are hundreds of feet high mountains and thousands of feet of forests. The environment is too harsh for humans.

Not only are there a lot of mosquitoes, but there is also miasma in some places.

It would be better in winter, but the cold alone is enough to keep most people out.

Li Ruyi had never been to the mountain village and didn't know what was going on inside. When she lived here in her previous life, she rarely left the village.

These things were also what Li Ruyi found out recently.

Li Ruyi and Uncle Chen started out walking on a relatively flat path, then slowly climbed up the mountain, passing a mountain path in the middle.

The mountain path was very narrow, only two feet wide, and had a slight slope.

Although the other side is not a thousand-foot abyss, it is still about ten feet high. This section of road spirals upward for two miles.

Li Ruyi put the wooden box on one shoulder and didn't dare to change shoulders even when he was tired.

Only after she had walked this distance did her heart finally calm down a little.

She was too tired to walk, so she put down the wooden box. Uncle Chen sat not far from her.

Li Ruyi put down the burden, and her left shoulder was so sore that she almost cried.

She twitched her face and slowly shook her shoulders. After shaking them slowly for several circles, the situation finally improved a little.

In fact, she had already adapted to the weight, but because she was afraid, she kept her body stiff and dared not move, which caused her shoulders to ache.

Uncle Chen looked at her and praised her sincerely.

"I wish my boy was half as good as you!"

After hearing this, Li Ruyi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I can't help it. There are several people at home waiting to make a living!"

Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen had talked about Li Ruyi, but he didn't listen carefully, so the two of them just chatted for a few minutes.

"Who are the people in your family?"

Li Ruyi said it openly.

"I have an older sister and a younger sister at home."

Uncle Chen didn't know what to say and fell silent.

There are many people who live with the master these days, but there are not many men who have skills but no family.

"Doesn't your master have any children at home?"

Li Ruyi knew what Uncle Chen was thinking and said something vaguely.

"My master had a family when he was young, but he lost it later and he is very old now."

Uncle Chen let out a long "oh" and looked at Li Ruyi for a long while.

Li Ruzhi stopped asking questions and rested for a while before continuing walking.

After passing that section, the rest of the road is much easier to walk on, at least not as dangerous as the previous section.

The two walked for a while and then arrived at the place.

Li Ruyi took out some money and gave it to Uncle Chen. Uncle Chen felt embarrassed and didn't want it, but Li Ruyi forced the money into his hands.

Uncle Chen couldn't leave after taking the money, so he took Li Ruyi into the village.

This village is very small, with only more than 20 households. Everyone lives very close to each other and sticks together very closely. I heard that they all have the same surname and are very united.

Li Ruyi did not sing the song. She followed Uncle Chen carrying the load on her shoulder.

As soon as I entered the village, I saw a group of children squatting in the open space in the middle of the village and making a fuss.

When he saw Li Ruyi, he had a look as innocent as a silly roe deer.

Someone recognized Uncle Chen and called out.

"Uncle!"

Uncle Chen doesn't like to laugh, but the ending of his voice rose a little when he agreed.

"Hey! Where's your dad?"

The child who called him turned around and shouted home.

"Dad! Dad... Dad! My uncle is here!"

The village was very small, unlike Sanjia Village which had a large courtyard. When the child shouted, everyone in the village heard it.

The people around all stuck their heads out to look.

Uncle Chen was a little flustered. This was different from his usual visits and it was also the first time he brought his peddler with him.

His hands and feet stiffened for a moment, and then he took Li Ruyi to a yard.

Li Ruyi did not leave Uncle Chen behind to sell goods alone.

She came here mainly to ask about salt. If she wanted to sell the goods, it would be more convenient outside the mountain.

Salt is not cheap. It is easier to be convinced if someone familiar introduces it to you.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the yard, a tall and strong man holding a kitchen knife came out of the house. There was blood on his hands, and he seemed very happy to see Uncle Chen.

"Brother-in-law, why are you here? Come in quickly..."

Uncle Chen then had the opportunity to explain his purpose.

"Old Third, I'm here for something too. This kid! Come here, Li Er!"

Li Ruyi always told other people that his name was Li Er. Everyone was used to this name and no one took it seriously.

Li Ruyi hurried over.

"Hey! Hey...Uncle, I am Li Er."

Song Laosan didn't know what Uncle Chen was doing and looked at Li Ruyi.

Uncle Chen swallowed his saliva, thinking a lot in his mind, but not a single word came out of his mouth.

It was Li Ruyi who broke the awkwardness.

"I asked Uncle Chen to bring me here! I'm a peddler, walking around the streets..."

Song Laosan did not expect this to be the opening. His eyes became vague and he stretched out his hand to invite Li Ruyi into the house. However, as soon as he raised his hand, he saw blood on his hand, which made him even more embarrassed!

"Hey, look at me... Come in quickly, I'm killing a chicken! We'll all be home for dinner soon!"

Li Ruyi waved her hand to refuse, but Song Laosan seemed to be suddenly happy, and ran into the house with brisk steps.

Li Ruyi followed Uncle Chen carrying a wooden box. As soon as he entered the house, he was shocked by the appearance inside.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this room was bare and empty. Apart from a large kang and a shelf, there was not even a decent table.

There was a huge wooden block on the floor of the house, surrounded by several small wooden blocks.

The wooden block is quite old and there are tiny bugs crawling around on the bark.
