Good luck every time

Li Ruyi thought about it for a while and felt that she couldn't say anything final and should leave some room for herself.

Then he spoke.

"If you don't need me to deliver it to the mountain, I can give you fifty-three coins! I guarantee that it is official salt, official salt without any adulteration."

According to what Li Ruyi thought, the two of them would haggle a little over the price and quantity. In the end, she had two more cards in her hand. One was to deliver the salt, and the other was to give another penny.

However, what she didn't expect was that the boss still shook his head.

“No, it’s still expensive.”

Li Ruyi frowned and took over the rhythm.

"If fifty-three cents is still considered expensive, then what price do you think is reasonable, Master?"

The boss looked at the appearance of the young master Li Ruyi, thought for a while, and then spoke.

"Forty-eight articles!"

Li Ruyi: …

She couldn't hold back her laughter.

Forty-eight cents, she is losing money to run the business! ?

Not to mention whether there is anything in this village worth her doing this for. Even if there is something worth her initial investment, is she, a small peddler, worthy of it?

Don’t lose your life without making any money!

Li Ruyi immediately stood up and bowed to the head of the family.

"It seems that the boss and I are not destined to be together. I apologize for disturbing you today. I will leave now. We will meet again in the future!"

Li Ruyi knew that the other party looked down on her young age and did not want to waste any more time, so she hurriedly went somewhere else while it was still daylight.

There are so many villages in the mountains. If this place doesn’t work, there are other places. Li Ruyi still doesn’t believe it!

She picked up the load and was about to leave, but the boss who was sitting firmly on the kang spoke again!

"Wait! Do you think our village is a place where you can come and go as you please?!"

There was some ferocity in his tone, and Tian Twelve immediately stood at the door to stop Li Ruyi.

Li Ruyi's face darkened. He knew he couldn't explain it clearly to Tian Twelve, so he turned to question the boss.

"I have nothing but my life. I don't know why the boss wants to keep me here!"

The big boss sat up straight, glared, and wanted to say something, but Li Ruyi's back tensed up and he also glared at him, not giving him the chance to speak.

"And the elders of my clan are willing to entrust me with such an important matter, which shows that they think highly of me! If you haven't returned yet, I will definitely find you!"

"My journey is no secret. If anyone is determined to track me down, they will find me here in ten days. Could it be that the boss is tired of farming and wants to become a bandit?"

After Li Ruyi finished speaking, the boss seemed a little annoyed. He opened his mouth and sat back down.

"Boy, you are really good at talking!"

Li Ruyi thought the other party was praising her and responded on the spot.

"Of course. How can you make a living without good words?"

The boss was so angry that he laughed at her arrogance when she stuck her neck out.

But looking at Li Ruyi's small body, standing there not much taller than Tian Twelve's chest, he felt speechless.

He gathered up his scattered hair.

"I didn't call you for any other reason, but it's too late today. If you go down the mountain, you won't be able to find a place to stay. It's too dangerous to stay overnight in the mountains. It's better for you to rest in the village for a night and go down the mountain early tomorrow."

Li Ruyi carefully looked at the boss's expression, as if he was guessing whether what he said was true or false.

Her face seemed to say 'Do you think I believe it?'

The boss sighed, then suppressed his temper and tried to persuade Li Ruyi in a gentle voice.

"Alright, even if the deal doesn't work out, we still have righteousness. We are not a den of bandits. You are a guest. We can't let you leave now. As you said, if you go out to camp outdoors, what will happen if the elders of your tribe come after you? How can I save them?"

Li Ruyi: …

This is just an excuse!

She stared at the boss's expression, looked around, and finally lowered her eyes and bowed to everyone.

"I was so presumptuous before, but I didn't expect that behind the boss's harsh words there is such a kind heart."

The boss: ...

Is she being sarcastic?!

But before he could get angry, Li Ruyi maintained his bowing posture and continued speaking.

"I am young and have a quick temper. I apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me."

The boss took a deep breath, and said helplessly because he was so angry at Li Ruyi.

"There are several side rooms behind this courtyard. My youngest brother is getting married today..."

The boss got stuck in the middle of his speech as he couldn't remember Li Ruyi's name!

Li Ruyi raised his eyelids and spoke with a smile.

"Li, Li Er."

The boss suddenly remembered that Tian Laoer had just told him this name.

"Yes, yes, little brother Li, why don't you join in the fun tonight and take a seat with us!"

Li Ruyi: …

You want to take money out of my pocket before I even earn it?

She wanted to find excuses to postpone the weddings of people in the village, but she didn't expect it to happen here!

However, seeing that the boss's attitude had softened slightly, Li Ruyi couldn't help but guess that the other party also had feelings about her salt.

But she couldn't say for sure. What if this was a den of bandits trying to test whether she had money?

Li Ruyi was thinking in his mind, but his face showed no sign of abnormality and his attitude became much friendlier.

"How dare I refuse the invitation personally from the great master? I am sorry to trouble you."

The boss waved his hand.

"There is a row of rooms in the backyard. Brother Li, just pick the one you like. The village is very lively today. If you like, come and play with the kids... and everyone else!"

Li Ruyi pretended not to hear his slip of the tongue, agreed cheerfully, and went to the backyard carrying the shoulder pole.

Tian Twelve and the Big Boss waited until she walked away, and then the Big Boss clenched his fists speechlessly.

"No, the kids nowadays are all very smart after being covered with fur!"

Tian Twelve thought about it.

"Otherwise, the family can't let him run around. If it were me..."

Tian Twelve shook his head. He didn’t even dare to think about it.

The boss was also in a difficult situation.

He was very happy when he heard that a peddler had come to the village. When he heard that the peddler wanted to inquire about what the village needed and send it to him later, he was even happier!

But who knew, Tian Laoer told him, that it was a kid whose hair had not even grown fully.

He also said he didn't bring anything.

The boss thought about it and wondered whose child had come out to make fun of him.

He was unhappy and left Li Ruyi alone for a while.

The clothes were left to air-dry until very late. He thought that the child was very playful and it was his first time in the village, so he might have forgotten everything while playing.

Unexpectedly, the other person just sat there and waited for him for more than half an hour.

This made him think, the other party came all the way here, could it be that he really had something important to discuss with him! ?

He also adopted a correct attitude.

As a result, Li Ruyi asked him if he wanted salt!

nonsense!?

Which village in the mountains doesn’t lack salt?

But he always had a unrealistic feeling. Was this kid serious or just joking?

It was not until he quoted forty-eight cents that he saw the solemnity and determination on Li Ruyi's face. That kind of confidence was definitely not the reaction of a child looking for trouble.

He felt guilty for a moment.

But the words have been spoken, he is too old to curry favor with a child and give him salt! ?

At that moment, he felt a little resentful towards Li Ruyi and the clan elders that Li Ruyi mentioned.

You said you would come, but you came empty-handed. How about you bring some goods with you?

The elders in this family are really bold. They let a child go into the mountains alone, without worrying that the child would be eaten!

After venting his anger, he realized that it was not appropriate to stop people like this.

Sure enough, the next moment he let the firecracker explode.

There's really no room for him to talk!
