Good luck every time

Li Ruyi carried a shoulder pole and went to the backyard. The backyard was also empty, not very big, with a well.

In addition to a large house that is exactly the same as the front one, there are side rooms on both sides.

Li Ruyi looked around tentatively, but saw no one.

She pushed open the door of a wing room and found it empty except for a kang and an earthen stove.

There wasn't even a mat on the kang.

Li Ruyi hesitated for a moment and chose this room.

There is nothing here, so if anything is lost in the future, it definitely can't be blamed on her.

Anyway, she couldn't leave her box at night, so she could just put two boxes together and use them as a bed.

She slept like this in other villages.

Li Ruyi put the box away and checked to see if there was anyone around before opening the box and taking out the remaining things inside.

Take out a bunch of money from the mezzanine.

She covered her chest, feeling the pain.

One hundred coins...

How many flowers would she have to buy to make it back?

Otherwise, she would just give up her dignity and just eat him for free! ?

But after the pain, Li Ruyi still took out the money and wrapped it into a roll with red paper.

She would not give the money on the spot, at least she had to make sure of the other party's character.

As for how to determine...

Li Ruyi's eyes turned and she suddenly had an idea. She took out the rest of her things and put them on the pile, then picked up the shoulder pole and walked out.

Because these hair flowers had been picked by others before, they would be damaged to some extent, and she felt guilty about selling them to others.

I’ve earned enough already, and we’ll meet again in the future!

However, these hair flowers can be used to test the people here.

After Li Ruyi walked around the wing room, he went out again carrying his load.

The head of the family, Hetian Twelve, was talking about salt. When he looked up, he saw Li Ruyi's back as he left with a shoulder pole.

The boss' heart skipped a beat. Could this kid really think they were bandits? Was he planning to run away when no one was paying attention? ?

He quickly called Tian Twelve.

"Go and see what he's doing."

Tian Twelve turned his head and just happened to see half of Li Ruyi's back.

He quickly turned around and chased after him.

After running two steps, he finally remembered and turned around to ask the head of the house.

"If he runs away, should I catch him back?"

The head of the family: ...

"What's the point of catching him? Just persuade him to come back!"

He looked at Tian Twelve's expressionless face and was speechless.

"How come Tian Lao Er saw you in the crowd at a glance! Go to your uncle's house and tell him about this. I'll go find him later."

Tian Twelve still had the same expressionless face as always.

"Oh!"

When he agreed, the boss walked out by himself. He looked around after leaving the yard.

Just when I was trying to find where Li Ruyi was, I heard the surprised voices of a few children coming from behind a shed not far away.

"Wow!"

"Oh……"

"That's awesome!"

The boss walked over quickly and saw Li Ruyi squatting behind her box, showing her rattle to the children.

The drumstick of this rattle has lost a piece of wood chips. It's fine to play with, but it's hard to sell.

Li Ruyi said.

"Does it look good?"

The group of children had never seen such things before. They played with mud beads or grass stems and leaves.

The children here get very tanned and get very dirty after playing. They have to go into the river to wash their clothes, and both they and their clothes are considered washed.

But Li Ruyi was not in a position to look down on others at this moment. She hadn't had any clean clothes for several days!

Even if I try my best to keep myself clean all the way, when I arrive at a place I will put on a coat to dress myself up, but it is different from the clothes I just changed into.

The eldest boss didn't pay attention at first, but when he saw Li Ruyi squatting with others, he realized that her clothes were unconventional and not like those of the children in the village.

Li Ru saw that the kids had taken the bait, so he spoke to them.

"My rattle has some flaws, so it can't be sold anymore. But since there are so many of you, I can't give it away to you."

After hearing what Li Ruyi said, the children did not lose heart. A little girl with fuzzy hair smiled at Li Ruyi with a gap of teeth.

"Can you lend it to me, brother?"

A child nearby heard that she was about to touch it and stopped her quickly.

"Your hands are so dark, they've made it dirty! Let me touch it, let me touch it first!"

The little girl was pushed away a little. Li Ruzhi saw this and raised the rattle high and spoke to the child who had just sent the little girl away.

"No, things should be done in a first come first served manner. Since she asked me, I have to wait until I answer her before I can answer you."

The child looked at Li Ruyi, and Li Ruyi also looked at him with a firm look in his eyes, which made him shrink back a little.

Li Ruyi turned and said to the little girl.

"Let me touch you first, and then let your friend touch me!"

The little girl's wet eyes brightened visibly.

She nodded and thanked Li Ruyi.

"Thank you brother!"

Li Ruyi handed her the rattle. She touched it happily and looked at Li Ruyi cautiously while shaking it.

When she finished playing, she gave the rattle to the next child.

In this way, more and more children gathered around Li Ruyi.

The boss looked at the group of children speechlessly. It was just a rattle!

What’s so fun about that thing?

The children started to make noise while playing, and Li Ruyi immediately used the voice of an adult to intimidate these children who had never left the mountain since they were born.

After everyone had played once and the rattle returned to Li Ruyi's hand, Li Ruyi said this.

"Actually, I made this too, but I don't have the tools, so I can't do it right now. Otherwise, I would make some new ones for you!"

When they heard that this was done by Li Ruyi, all the children exclaimed in amazement.

"Brother, who did you learn this from?"

"What tools do you want, brother? We have a lot of tools at home!"

When Li Ruyi heard the question that interested her, she asked.

"I need a wood drill. Do you have one at home?"

I heard it’s a wooden drill, but many kids here don’t know it.

“What is a wood drill?”

Li Ruyi gestured.

"It's just a drill bit standing on the wood. There's a pull rod here. I pull the pull rod and turn it, and then I can make a hole in the wood."

After listening to Li Ruyi's description, everyone shook their heads.

Li Ruyi was surprised. There wasn't even a carpenter in the village?

"That's nothing we can do. You can wait for me to bring the wooden drill next time."

When a child heard Li Ruyi say this, he hurriedly asked her.

"Will you come over next time?"

Li Ruyi tilted his head and thought about it.

"I'll come over when I get a chance. You're just too far away."

After hearing what Li Ruyi said, another child asked her.

"Where do you live then?"

Li Ruyi followed their questions and talked about the outside world.

"I live on the edge of the county town. There are many interesting things in the county town, such as rattles and string puppets..."

"That one is fun too. It's made just like a real person, just smaller. You can move it around by lifting it with a string."

"Wow... can you really move?"

Li Ruyi nodded.

“It can really move. Some people even put clothes on it, and some even use it for performances!”

After Li Ruyi finished speaking, she refrained from speaking without leaving any trace.

"What do you usually play?"

The children were talking about their own stories at once, and Li Ruyi listened and asked.

"Don't you need to work at home?"

"I won't work! My mother said I'm still young and don't need to work."

"Ah! My mother said that I was big enough to start working, and she asked me to help her spin yarn."

"What's the point of spinning? Oh, isn't that spinning machine a wooden drill? It also shakes."

"No, I can't do anything. My dad said last night that this junk takes up space. He also said that I was almost sticking to him and he couldn't do anything!"

“Spinning is very useful!”

"Who knows? As soon as I close my eyes he says he can't do anything. Who knows what he wants to do!"

Li Ruyi: …

When the boss heard this, his scalp went numb. He felt that he couldn't squat there any longer. If he continued squatting there, this kid would probably tell him everything that happened in the village.
