Good luck every time

Chapter 164 Going up the mountain together

Li Ruyi slept until midnight, then she got up and let Old Man Li rest.

Old man Li didn't refuse.

But before going to bed, he whispered to Li Ruyi.

"Li Xiaoer, I think it would be better for you to go up the mountain with those people tomorrow morning."

Li Ruyi smoothed his frizzy hair and pondered for a moment.

She was worried about Li Er and Old Man Li. Three hundred and fifty kilograms of salt would cost sixteen and a half guan (16.5 kilograms)...

However, after a good sleep, Li Ruyi felt much better and his mind worked faster.

There was really no need for Li Er and the others to cheat her.

Not to mention that they live in the same village and will meet again in the future, but she has the leverage over Li Er and his future, so Old Man Li can't do something that would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Besides, even if Old Man Li wanted to leave, Tian Twelve couldn’t agree.

At this point, her persistence was more for her own peace of mind.

However, she had to talk to the head of the family about Zhao Laonian’s matter in person.

If she waited for the other party to gather a group of people down the mountain, she would appear to be insincere.

If things turn out to be unpleasant in the end, it seems that there is no way out for both parties.

Li Ruyi showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Second Master, I'm glad you reminded me, otherwise I wouldn't have realized it! You're right, some things should be said before they go down the mountain!"

Old man Li bent his waist and moved his body.

"Okay, wake me up tomorrow morning when you go up the mountain. Don't worry, the Second Master is here, and the salt is here!"

Li Ruyi wanted to say something, but seeing the old man's sleepy look, she could only speak.

"Thank you!"

The old man leaned to one side, turned over and fell asleep.

Li Ruyi moved his body, sat cross-legged on one side, and meditated according to the breathing method taught by Granny Ding.

She didn't have time before, and apart from practicing morning exercises, she basically didn't meditate. This is the first time for her to do so.

At first she just felt that every time she controlled her breathing, she was exhausted.

After slowly finding the breathing frequency, she was unable to focus her mind on her forehead.

She sat for a full hour before she finally entered a state of meditation.

The night wind blew, and Li Er and Old Man Li were lying in the shed with their clothes wrapped tightly around them. But Li Ruyi only felt the mountain breeze blowing away her sweat. Not only did she not feel cold, but her breathing became fresher.

She seemed to be able to hear even farther, the breathing, mumbling, and grinding of teeth of the people around her... the crawling of nocturnal animals in the forest, the rustling of insects carrying food...

Clues consisting only of sound were transmitted to her mind through her ears. Although everything in front of her eyes was pitch black, she seemed to have opened her third eye.

Li Ruyi certainly understood that she had not really opened her third eye.

It’s like Granny Ding still can’t eat fish by herself.

However, when she closed her eyes, her whole body's perception seemed to become stronger.

The sky slowly turned pale.

Tian Laoliu had something on his mind and had already taken action.

He got up and called Tian Twelve and Tian Laoqi.

Because Li Ruyi didn't give them salt last night, while the two of them were packing up, Tian Twelve walked to the cart with messy hair and sleepy eyes.

He opened his eyes as he approached Li Ruyi.

For a moment, her eyes were exceptionally bright, and that brightness quickly disappeared as her eyelashes fluttered.

Tian Twelve was stunned for a moment, and the next moment his back straightened up.

"My sixth brother and his friends are going to go up the mountain early this morning, so I asked you to find some salt to bring back."

Li Ruyi got off the cart.

"I'll go with them!"

As she spoke she went to carry the backpack.

She must bring a crossbow, which is extremely lethal to an unarmed person.

The salt was already in Old Man Li's hands, so she couldn't hand the crossbow over to him.

However, Li Ruyi can give some instructions.

"Twelfth brother, my second master is getting old, so I need you to take care of him."

Tian Twelve was not surprised when he heard that Li Ruyi was also going up the mountain.

He guessed that Li Ruyi had something to say to the head of the family.

"rest assured!"

Li Ruyi then went to wake up Old Man Li, took some salt out of the salt bag, and left some food for Old Man Li and Li Er.

"Second Master, I'm going up the mountain!"

Old man Li had just woken up, his heart was beating wildly and his hands were shaking.

"go Go!"

As he said this, he turned to the other side and slapped the sleeping idea to wake it up.

"This stupid kid!"

Li Er slept well that night. Apart from two mosquito bites on his face, there was nothing unbearable.

He was tired the whole day yesterday and slept very soundly at night. As he was young, he was in good condition when he sat up now.

Li Ruyi tied the salt bag tightly, washed up quickly, then followed Tian Laoliu and went up the mountain with the two of them.

Old man Li slowly took out some water and helped Li Er wash and eat.

After he finished eating, he saw that those people had started to build the house again, so he sat beside the car to watch the fun. He also gave Li Ershi a few words of advice and then took him for a spin.

With Li Er as the little advisor, it became much easier for everyone to drink water or make fire and cook.

There is harmony here.

Over there, Li Ruyi tried his best to keep up with Tian Laoliu and the others as they went up the mountain.

Climbing a mountain is really strenuous work, and since those two were in a hurry, they walked very fast.

Li Ruyi gritted her teeth and followed all the way. Fortunately, she had a good rest last night, otherwise, with little sleep and exhausting work in the past two days, she might lose her life if she continued climbing the mountain in this state.

It was just past midnight when we arrived at the village.

Seeing Li Ruyi coming over so quickly, many people greeted her.

She was extremely tired. She wiped the sweat off her face, nodded and smiled at everyone, and occasionally called out to someone.

The boss heard the news quickly and ran to the front from the back of the village.

Seeing that Li Ruyi really came, he slapped her on the shoulder.

Li Ruyi has been walking a lot recently, and his lower body is very stable. When the boss patted his shoulder, he just swayed a little, and stood steadily.

There was light in the boss's eyes when he looked at her.

"Why is Brother Li here? Is he here to bring us some salt?"

Before Li Ruyi could speak, Tian Laoliu spoke impatiently.

"Boss, he really is here to deliver salt! He's already at the foot of the mountain, with a cartload of salt!"

The boss sighed and thought Tian Laoliu was really stupid!

Can you talk like this at this time?

What if Li Ruyi’s salt is not good? That would delay everyone’s business.

Although the boss had already had a house built at the foot of the mountain, when asked whether he thought highly of Li Ruyi's salt, he gave the same answer as before.

Good or bad, seeing is believing.

"Sixth Brother, you and Seventh Brother go home and change your clothes and have a drink of water. You grown men are not uncomfortable, but you don't know how uncomfortable it is for the little kids to come back with you!"

Tian Laoliu opened his mouth and looked at Li Ruyi, who was sweating profusely, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I'm so sorry, we were walking so fast that I didn't notice you!"

Li Ruyi was speechless. What's the point of you apologizing to me after all this? ? Are you going to put a false accusation on me after you've exhausted me?

She gave a smile and hypocritically comforted the other person.

"It's an emergency, I'm sorry for causing trouble for you all!"

The boss was also anxious. He waved his hand to drive Tian Laoliu and Tian Laoqi away and took Li Ruyi back to his home.

"Come to my house and have a drink of water. Have you eaten anything this morning?"

Li Ruyi nodded.

"I ate on the way! I brought some salt with me. One reason is to show you the salt and see if it's good. The other reason is that I want to tell you something. I'm afraid you'll make a wasted trip without any preparation."

When the boss saw Li Ruyi, he guessed that something must have happened to her, and it didn't come as a surprise to him now.

The two of them quickened their pace and soon arrived at the place.
