Good luck every time

(The previous chapter has been modified)

At this moment, Boss Zhao, who had been beaten dizzy by Li Er, got up.

He quietly retreated back into the house and climbed out of the window on the other side.

Li Ruyi heard the noise and turned to look.

She has calmed down a lot. Now that Li Ershi and Li Shiwu are here, she knows that even if she really wants to kill someone, she shouldn't do it right now.

Li Ershi and Li Shiwu were not worthy of her handing over her own leverage.

Li Ruyi covered her neck, her mind racing. She had a rough idea of ​​who had just come.

Zhao Laonian’s purpose was so clear that it was difficult for Li Ruyi to ignore it.

Li Ershi ran back and turned Li Shiwu over first. Li Shiwu was lucky as he was knocked unconscious by Zhao Er.

The heavy rain fell on his face, and he woke up before Li Ershi could slap him.

As soon as he woke up, he made a painful expression and reached out to touch his neck.

Li Er heaved a sigh of relief and finally felt at ease.

He was so confused from the fight just now that he was doing whatever he saw and ignored his own brother.

If Li Shiwu was beaten to death by Zhao Er, his life would never be easy as long as he thought of tonight.

Li Shiwu sat up from the ground.

Li Ershi asked him to hide in the house while he and Li Ruyi went to adjust the donkey cart.

Li Ruyi led the donkey and pointed the back of the donkey cart towards the door.

Li Shiwu was still feeling uncomfortable, so Li Er asked him to help hold up the oilcloth to keep out the rain that was coming in through the open door.

Li Ruyi controlled the donkey and told it not to move.

While Li Ruyi and Li Shiwu were working, Li Ershi took off his clothes. He went to the corner to wring out the water from his clothes, and used the half-dry clothes to wipe the water off his body before going to carry salt.

He threw the sack of salt onto the broken bed frame in the room.

He carried more than 300 kilograms of salt by himself, and there was no loss.

He crawled under the oilcloth again, took out the food and other things and put them into the house.

Li Ruyi was soaked all over and wiped the rain off her face with her hands.

The sky has brightened up again, returning to its original state. The momentary darkness did not last long.

After Li Ershi finished, Li Ruyi removed the oilcloth and asked Li Shiwu and Li Ershi to tie it to the window frame to block the wind and rain that rushed into the house.

Li Ruyi dismantled the donkey cart again.

While she was dismantling the house, Li Er came out and worked with her in the wind and rain.

The two men pulled the donkey into the house. When the cold wind blew, the wet Li Ruyi shivered.

Li Shiwu's clothes were still dripping with water, but he didn't care. He picked up some wooden sticks and piled them on the ground, and placed some dry straw there.

He took out a fire stick from his bosom and blew it...

The tinderbox didn't react at all, maybe it got wet from the rain.

Li Er also searched his body for a while. He had lost his fire starter in the fight and couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

Li Ruyi rummaged through the basket of sundries and found a flint wrapped in oilcloth.

She pulled some straw to dry her hands, then grabbed the flint and started to make fire.

This thing was not very convenient, and the wind and rain outside made the whole wooden house damp. Li Ruyi tried to hit it for a long time without success, so Li Er took it over and tried to hit it for a long time.

His hands were shaking when he was lighting the fire.

In this horrible weather, they wouldn’t feel warm even if they wore cotton-padded jackets, not to mention that the three of them were soaked by the rain.

After a lot of effort the fire started and all three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Ruyi didn't care whether the surrounding environment was suitable or not. She hugged a piece of wood and sat on it.

As the fire burned, there was not much smoke from the dry wood, but there was some, which was blown all over the room by the wind that occasionally lifted the oilcloth.

However, the window can only be blocked to this extent, and Li Ruyi was reluctant to nail the oilcloth here.

Two pieces of oilcloth this big are also very expensive!

The flames started burning and all three of them sat in a circle around it.

Li Ruyi used a hatchet to chop the wood into thin chips, and the fire burned even more vigorously.

The donkey in the corner sneezed twice in the firelight and moved towards the fire.

As soon as it approached, Li Ruyi smelled the unique fishy smell of the donkey.

She felt a little disgusted, but was afraid that the donkey would get sick, so she had to endure it.

There were four drowned rats squatting in a room.

Li Ershi and Li Shiwu were roasting by the fire. They took off their wet clothes and dried them by the fire.

Li Ruyi felt inconvenient, so he took out his crossbow, counted the remaining nine crossbow arrows, disassembled the crossbow, and wiped the parts inside with a dried handkerchief.

There are no conditions now, I can only wait until I get back to apply oil.

When it was dry, she put the parts back together.

She put the knapsack aside to dry.

Li Shiwu found a piece of wood of similar length to make a rack. He poured the water he brought into the clay pot and took out a large piece of ginger from the bag of ingredients that Li Jixiang had brought.

The ginger was cut and boiled in water, which was poured into their bamboo tubes. Li Ruyi took a sip and it was hot and spicy. She felt a warm current flowing from her throat to her stomach.

She shivered uncontrollably, and the coldness in her body dissipated a lot in an instant.

This feeling was very familiar to her.

She couldn't help but sigh.

"When the weather gets cold, we can also bring a wine gourd and drink a few sips to warm our bodies."

The weather will only get colder and colder, and their winter will be even more difficult.

Li Ruyi's voice was a little hoarse, and when he spoke, his ears caused a slight pain.

Hearing her finally speak, Li Shiwu and Li Er also breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Shiwu and Li Ershi were not satisfied with their reactions just now.

Obviously, the person who calmed down first and did the most among the three was Li Ruyi.

One of the two was restrained by Boss Zhao, and the other was simply knocked unconscious, leaving only Li Ruyi, a half-grown child, to deal with two adult men.

They were also careless.

The dull life made both of them less vigilant, which led to the situation just now.

"You're right! When it gets colder, you can have some wine."

Li Shiwu didn't know how to respond to Li Ruyi's words, so he just said everything he heard was right.

Li Er hesitated for a moment and did not discuss with the two of them whether to drink or not. Instead, he told them what he had discovered a few days ago.

"Among those people today, there is one person I have seen before."

"We saw him a few days ago when we went to the county government office to collect salt. He even talked to the driver."

"I didn't hear what he said clearly. I asked the driver afterwards and he said that the man came to look for someone. As for who he was looking for, he didn't remember. I just thought he asked the wrong person and didn't ask any more questions."

He felt a little guilty and took the initiative to take on the responsibility.

"Now that I think about it, I was careless."

Li Shiwu looked at Li Ershi in surprise, not understanding why he hadn't told him such an important thing before.

But Li Ruyi was very calm after hearing this, and did not blame Li Er for not investigating it.

No one has ever counted how many people a person will meet in his or her lifetime who ask for directions or information, but the number is definitely not small.

If everyone who gets close to me asks about me, how can I live like this?

Li Er was able to say this from a result-oriented process, working backwards from the incident of Zhao Laonian injuring someone to the original incident of Zhao Laonian asking questions.

But in fact, this responsibility does not lie with Li Er.

There is only a thief who steals for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days. This kind of thing cannot be prevented!

"You don't have to blame yourself. This person showed up so suddenly that no one expected him to."
