Good luck every time

The next morning, the Li family members did what they were supposed to do.

Li Zhuzi disappeared after breakfast.

By midsummer, Sun's body had begun to swell, and its hideous appearance became even more frightening.

However, according to the rules in Pingfang County, the body must be kept for three full days, so even if you are afraid, you have to wait until the next morning to bury the body.

Li Ruyi didn't wait at home. She had to go out to find something to eat. She was half dead after eating three steamed buns a day these days.

She walked upstream along the river bank. She had come here often before. It was remote, sparsely populated, and the road was difficult to travel on. There were no large wild animals, but she could catch fish and sometimes wild ducks.

If worst comes to worst, you can still dig some wild vegetables.

As he was walking, Li Ruyi suddenly noticed that something seemed to be moving in the grass.

She rushed over in two steps and saw a wild duck tied by its feet with a rope, the other end of the rope was connected to a stone.

The wild duck had been struggling for a long time and now fell there powerlessly, seemingly breathing out but not in.

Li Ruyi's face lit up with joy, this was the little trick she had made before, she never expected that after a lifetime, she would be able to gain something from it when she came back.

She rushed over and tied the duck's wings, then untied the rope and took some grass leaves to tie up the duck's beak and paws. As expected, the duck could not escape.

She stuffed the wild ducks into her backpack and walked forward happily, checking all the traps she had dug and buried before.

Surprisingly, we found three more wild ducks.

When she was about to reach the upstream, she found a bird's nest that had been turned over from a tree. There were five or six bird eggs in it, all of which were still intact. The liquid from the two broken eggs had not yet completely solidified.

Li Ruyi looked at the bird eggs, and the smile on her face suddenly faded a lot.

She put away the bird eggs and walked quickly towards where Han Shian was studying.

On the way she also found two little sparrows caught in a basket.

She reached into the basket, and after a commotion, she pulled out two sparrows.

She arrived at the place where Han Shian usually read, but there was no trace of grass on the ground. It seemed as if Han Shian had not been there for a long time.

Li Ruyi looked around before she was sure that the man was not here.

She looked into the backpack behind her, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to deal with the things first.

After coming out of the mountains, Li Ruyi did not go home, but went to the blind old lady's yard.

"Master!"

She held a handful of wild onions and placed the small shovel for digging wild vegetables at the door, thinking about not forgetting it when she left later.

The blind old lady seemed to have not moved and was lying there basking in the sun.

This is truly an enviable life.

Hearing that Li Ruyi was coming, the blind old lady moved her head and nodded, but did not make any move to stand up.

Li Ruyi walked into the house familiarly, put the backpack on the kitchen floor, and went to look for the old lady's stove.

Of course, two steamed buns a day were not enough for the old lady. She could cook for herself usually, but she was afraid of trouble, so she just did it randomly.

Li Ruyi moved the pot out, took a straw brush and went to the stream in the backyard to brush all the places that the blind old lady couldn't clean.

By the way, I fetched some clean water.

The blind old lady just lay there motionless, not caring what Li Ruyi was doing.

Li Ruyi boiled water, killed the duck, bled it, plucked its feathers, and cleaned its internal organs.

The duck's internal organs were difficult to clean, and Li Ruyi did not have any suitable seasonings for cooking, so he simply dismantled the large parts and packed up the rest and buried them with the broken duck feathers.

After coming back from the burial, she started stewing the duck.

The blind old lady had a lot of firewood at home, and Li Ruyi used it generously.

The only seasoning at home was salt, but Li Ruyi didn't mind. She washed the wild onions she dug and threw them into the pot to stew together.

This stew lasted for an hour.

While watching the fire, she prepared the duck blood. After the duck was out of the pot, she put the duck blood into the pot to steam.

Cooking on a hot day is hard work.

Li Ruyi finished cooking, wiped the sweat off his face and came out to explain to the blind old lady.

"Master, I stewed the duck for you. Eat it while it's hot. Leave the rest of it there first. I'll heat it up for you when I bring you dry food in the evening."

The old lady who was lying there as if asleep heard this and immediately hummed.

Li Ruyi had long been accustomed to her attitude.

Then he continued.

"Let me borrow these bowls and plates and I'll bring them back to you in the evening."

The old lady was too lazy to pay attention to her this time.

Li Ruyi put the plate on the big bowl, tied it tightly with a straw rope, and placed it in the pile of wild vegetables. After making sure that no one could see it, he picked up the backpack and left the yard. When he left, he did not forget to pick up his small shovel.

On the way home, she took a long detour and went to Han's house first.

Li Ruyi knew how poorly she had set her traps. Over the years, she had only been able to catch so many people when she was bragging.

She herself didn't believe that the journey was so smooth and there was no trick!

After thinking about it, she realized that the only person who knew that nothing could be sent to her house and who also knew where her trap was set was Han Shian.

Although Li Ruyi didn't want to have as much involvement with Han Shian as in her previous life, some things couldn't be abandoned overnight.

Han Shian is a very stubborn person. If you want to end things with him under such circumstances, it would be best to do it without leaving any trace, go about your own business, and gradually distance yourself from him.

Li Ruyi walked around the path to the door of the Han family. The Han family was located in the middle of the village, with houses on both sides.

It was already past the hottest time of the day, and the houses around were all quiet.

She peeked over and was not noticed.

The Han family's house is one of the few brick and tile houses in the village, and the courtyard wall is also made of stone, which is extremely solid.

The huge yard seemed a bit desolate. The vegetable garden was full of cabbages, which were not growing well.

Han Shian is the only one living here. On weekdays, few people come here, and no one helps him tidy up the yard.

Li Ruyi heard that the Han family was not like this before, and that there were four generations living together in the prosperous family.

However, since Han Shian was born, the rest of the Han family passed away one after another. By the time Han Shian was ten years old, he was the only one left in his family.

Because of this incident, everyone in the village said that Han Shian was the reincarnation of an evil star, saying that he was unlucky to his relatives and neighbors, and they were afraid to let their children have contact with him.

At first, some people in the Han clan wanted to adopt Han Shian because of the large courtyard and the Han family's ten acres of land.

However, three days after the talent was brought home, his old lady suddenly convulsed while eating, as if she had a stroke. The family was so frightened that they dared not let Han Shian stay overnight and kicked him out that night.

It was such a coincidence that the old lady got better right after Han Shian left!

From then on, Han Shian's reputation as a bad guy spread throughout the village.

At that time, Han Shian was always lonely.

He lost all his relatives, lived alone, and always encountered various unfortunate things, which made him repeatedly doubt whether he was the source of all the tragedies.

Li Ruyi thought of everything Han Shian had experienced, and many complicated emotions quietly emerged in her heart.

But she immediately extinguished them all.

Li Ruyi exhaled forcefully.

Dedication is a quality instilled in her by others, which is why she always neglects her own goals and bottom line out of heartache.

Starting over again, she didn't owe him too much.

Besides, the two of them are destined to take different paths in the future, so it’s better not to get entangled too much.
