Good luck every time

Seeing Li Ruyi carrying a shoulder pole, he wanted to help, but was rejected by Li Ruyi!

She said that for her job, it is a rule to always keep the carrying pole in hand.

The man seemed to think that it was inappropriate for the child to carry the pole even though he had nothing in his hands, and he repeated it several times.

Li Ruyi could only keep changing the subject.

The two of them crossed the ridge of the field and saw the entrance to the village.

When Li Ruyi followed the people in, he found that there were traps inside and outside the fence of the village, so he asked the people around him curiously.

"Brother Tian, ​​are there any big wild animals around right now?"

Perhaps out of some bad taste, he scared Li Ruyi.

"Yes! In winter, tigers and wolves will come out if they have nothing to eat!"

Li Ruyi looked at him speechlessly as he tried to fool a child.

As soon as the two entered the village, they were quickly surrounded.

"What does this kid do?"

Li Ruyi looked at the people around her and was not at all stage-frightened.

"I'm a peddler from down the mountain. This is my first time taking this route. Come and take a look!"

When the people in the village heard that he was a peddler, they looked at each other in confusion. They didn't feel strong hostility, but they didn't feel much enthusiasm either.

Tian Laoer asked the people around him.

"Where is the big boss?"

Someone pointed toward the back of the village.

"I think he went to repair the roof of Uncle San's house. Do you want to take someone to look for him?"

Tian Laoer hesitated.

"I'll call someone over! Twelve, take her to your home first."

Li Ruyi was arranged by someone to walk a few dozen meters and arrived at a small courtyard.

Because it is built in a mountain valley with uneven terrain, the courtyards in the village are also arranged in an orderly manner.

The stone house looked quite old. Li Ruyi did not go into the house, but sat with Tian Twelve in the yard of his house.

People passing by cast curious glances at her.

Li Ruyi smiled back, but she was panicking inside.

This place is weird.

The only person Li Ruyi could talk to now was Tian Twelve, and she wanted to find out something about the village.

However, Tian Twelve was very tight-lipped and not good at speaking. He would answer what he could, and remain silent if he couldn't.

This made Li Ruyi not know how to have a conversation with him.

When the two of them were sitting there looking at the sky, two little heads popped out of the house and peeked at them.

They were two little girls with pigtails, and they were very tanned.

Li Ruyi smiled at them, but Tian Twelve was very fierce.

"Go back to the house!"

The little girl pouted at him and retracted her head, but after a moment, she popped her head out again.

Li Ruyi looked at everything around her and talked about the children at home.

It turns out that Tian Twelve was not just pretending to be fierce out of fatherly love. He was really fierce and treated his own children with a laissez-faire attitude.

Li Ruyi sensed what secrets were hidden in this village from the reactions of the people around him.

This made her more careful with her words.

She was just a salt merchant who wanted to sell salt and had no intention of prying into other people's secrets.

Those who know more die faster.

At this moment, Li Ruyi had already started to think of several ways to escape.

It wasn't obvious on her face, but in her mind countless thoughts were already taking root, sprouting, growing, and then being replaced by the seeds of another thought.

The boss was very impressive. Li Ruyi sat in the yard for a full half hour before waiting for someone to come over.

This is a very tall and strong man, about thirty years old, dark and rough, wearing short clothes that reveal the bulging muscles on his arms.

He stood below and waved to Tian Twelve, who turned around and said to Li Ruyi.

"This is our boss! Let's go!"

Li Ruyi was confused for a moment, but still picked up the carrying pole and followed.

She followed Tian Twelve's footsteps, and as she went deeper into the village, she found that the village became more festive.

Someone’s door has a wedding character cut out of red paper pasted on it, looking brand new.

The roads in the village are all paved with stone slabs, and the stones are of different sizes, but it is not difficult to walk on.

Soon Li Ruyi and Tian Twelve arrived at the gate of a courtyard together.

The gate of the courtyard was wide open. The courtyard was very large. Li Ruyi walked in and found that the rooms inside were also very large.

A big kang is about ten meters long, and it is obvious at first glance that it is not a normal living place.

Li Ruyi felt that this should be the place where important matters were discussed in the village.

There was nothing in the room except the kang, but Li Ruyi did not get on it. Instead, he put the wooden box on the ground and sat on the carrying pole.

Tian Twelve glanced at her and stood at the door.

Soon, the middle-aged man that Li Ruyi had just met came back. He went to the well at the back to wash himself, with water stains still on his body.

He saw that Li Ruyi had found a good position for herself, so he didn't say anything.

He sat down on the kang.

"I heard that you are a peddler living down the mountain. What made you want to go up the mountain?"

This person has an aura that gives off a strong sense of oppression.

Li Ruyi was not intimidated and spoke openly.

"Just to make a living!"

The boss obviously didn't believe what Li Ruyi said, so he went straight to the point.

"The food down the mountain is better than the food up there. I see you're not that old, but you've endured so much hardship and traveled so far. You can't just do it to sell your little stuff, right?"

He carefully studied Li Ruyi's expression, trying to analyze the other party's intentions from his next words.

Li Ruyi had no conscience and looked over at the boss.

"Indeed, the elders in my tribe found a way to help me buy the salt sticker from the county. I came here to ask if our village needs salt."

Tian Twelve, who was standing aside, heard Li Ruyi mention salt. He slowly turned his head and looked at Li Ruyi carefully again.

The big boss burst out laughing.

"Where in Da Qi does salt not need to be found? How much are you going to charge us for your salt?"

The rhythm of the conversation was always controlled by the other party, which made Li Ruyi feel a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't find a topic to catch up with the rhythm.

"Official salt, fifty-five cents a pound. I'll bring it up."

After hearing this, the smile on the boss's face faded and he immediately spoke.

"It's too expensive! Even the official salt is not worth that much."

Li Ruyi was not in a hurry. Since the other party did not get up and leave, it meant there was still a chance.

"My salt is unadulterated and can be delivered to the mountains!"

After hearing this, Tian Twelve, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but laugh.

Li Ruyi turned to look at him, not understanding what he was laughing at.

But at this moment, Li Ruyi thought of many things in his mind.

He thought what Li Ruyi said was ridiculous.

Did they not trust her to deliver the salt? Or was it that the salt they bought was not adulterated?

The boss glanced at Tian Twelve, and scared Tian Twelve so much that he immediately shut his mouth.

Li Ruyi withdrew his thoughts and turned to look at the boss.

"what do you think?"

The boss shook his head.

"I think it's still too expensive! You don't have to deliver it to the mountain, just tell me the number!"
