Good luck every time

Li Ruyi's words made Li Er feel a little better.

Li Shiwu, out of a sense of responsibility towards his master, was also afraid that Li Ruyi's words were not sincere, so he quickly took the responsibility on himself.

"I am also responsible for what happened today. I had someone knock him out instantly, otherwise you wouldn't have been injured."

When he said this, he looked at Li Ruyi's neck.

There was a mark there caused by the rope being rubbed, and the mark was covered with tiny wounds cut by the rough fibers, covering it with blue and purple.

Li Ruyi didn't react much, this kind of injury was nothing.

The important thing is that those three people almost took her life!

She smiled helplessly.

"If you ask me, this is all the responsibility of those three people. There is no need for us to distinguish which one is more important!"

"I have some idea of ​​the identities of those three people, and I also roughly understand why they came."

After hearing what Li Ruyi said, Li Shiwu and Li Ershi no longer worried about who was responsible, but asked at the same time.

"who are they?"

"Why are they..."

The two brothers looked at each other, and Li Ruyi threw a handful of wood chips in his hand into the fire.

There is fish porridge cooking in the pot now, which is made by cooking salted fish, grains and water together.

The pottery jar was covered with a lid, so its appearance could not be seen.

The fish bones of the salted fish pickled by my elder sister have been shaved off, and the fish skin has just been torn off by Li Ruyi. There will be basically no waste after taking it out of the pot, saving them the trouble of picking out fish bones in the dark!

"It's Zhao Laonian!"

Li Shiwu was unfamiliar with this name. He didn't often work with Li Ruyi, and Li Er was tight-lipped, so he had no chance to know what happened between Zhao Laonian and Li Ruyi.

When he heard it was him, Li Er frowned.

"We didn't provoke him, so why did he target us again and again?"

After hearing this, Li Shiwu asked quickly.

"what happened?"

Li Er told him the general situation.

"He's just a salt seller who's stealing our business and spreading rumors that Ruyi is a disaster."

"But we never said anything. If they didn't want to buy our salt, we didn't force them."

“Who knew it would still be like this now!”

After listening to this, Li Shiwu shook his head.

"Perhaps it is this kind of concession that makes him push further."

Li Ruyi didn't say anything. The boss told her that they had ordered two thousand kilograms of salt from Zhao Laonian.

Li Ruyi could imagine the impact that the two thousand kilograms of salt would have on Zhao Laonian.

But at that time, although the tricks used by Zhao Laonian were disgusting, they had not yet deviated from the scope of commercial competition.

Li Ruyi never thought of making any counterattack beyond the scope of business competition.

She was actually waiting for another opportunity, waiting for Zhao Laonian to no longer be able to hold on to the price of forty-five cents, waiting for the villagers to become dissatisfied with Zhao Laonian.

But what she didn't expect was that Zhao Laonian was so stupid that he could actually do such a thing.

All I can say is that a master can be defeated by a random punch, it all depends on luck.

However, Li Ruyi has never been a soft-hearted person. Since Zhao Laonian has taken the initiative to jump out of the circle of business competition, don't blame her for her cruel means!

As the flames flickered, no one saw the flash of coldness in Li Ruyi's eyes.

Li Er felt that what Li Shiwu said made sense, but he didn't know what to do.

"But in business, harmony brings wealth. We can't just go over and beat him up, right?"

"Besides, fighting won't solve the problem! Last time, Ruyi asked about their business. The three brothers can get 3,000 kilograms of salt a month. We can't stop them, and we don't have any way to deal with it!"

Li Shiwu also felt troubled. If he went to fight on someone else's territory, he would definitely lose.

How many people are there in that village?

How many of them are there!?

"Why don't we just set fire to his firewood pile?"

Setting fire to someone's firewood pile is the worst act of revenge in the area.

Li Er's eyes lit up. His principles were lower than those of ordinary people, so he could totally accept arson.

"I think it's okay! We have to let him know that we are not easy to deal with! What do you think, Ruyi?"

Li Ruyi shook her head helplessly.

"No, what if someone gets hurt? Don't worry about it. I have my own way to deal with him."

Li Er heard that Li Ruyi had a solution, so he moved forward.

"What are you going to do? Do you need me?"

Li Ruyi shook her head.

"No need for you, I have my own way."

Li Ershi was still curious and kept asking.

"any solution?"

Li Ruyi looked up at him, thought for a moment and said.

"I'll tell you when I have the chance. You can't tell me now. It won't work if I tell you!"

Li Er: ...

"You're acting like you're coaxing a child!"

It was raining and windy outside, but the fire in the house had never been extinguished.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they discussed the night watch.

Even though it was windy and rainy outside, the three of them were still worried after having just experienced something like that.

Li Ruyi helped move the fire to one side, and Li Er laid a thick layer of straw on the ground that had just been heated by the fire.

Li Shiwu, as the oldest person, decided to guard the middle section, Li Ruyi guarded the front section, and Li Erqizao guarded the back section.

Li Ruyi didn't refuse.

She had nothing to do, so she sat on a pile of wood and meditated.

This time she didn't dare to enter a state of meditation, so she focused all her attention on her surroundings.

During this period, Granny Ding taught her a set of mental skills, which she practiced in conjunction with breathing techniques.

Li Ruyi has never been able to get started. Although her mind is wandering along the meridians and acupoints, she can't tell whether it is a perception or real internal strength.

Anyway, she hasn't felt the Qi yet. Granny Ding said that people have different talents, and the progress of practicing mental skills is also different. Some people have practiced for ten years without getting started, but some people can get started in ten hours.

Li Ruyi is an adult after all, so he is very calm and not in a hurry.

Several days have passed since I memorized the order of the meridians and acupoints through which my internal energy traveled.

Apart from feeling a little more energetic, there isn't much else I feel.

The wind and rain were raging, and time passed by bit by bit in Li Ruyi's perception. Except for adding a handful of wood to the fire from time to time, Li Ruyi maintained the meditation posture.

At some point, Li Shiwu sat up.

As soon as he stood up, Li Ruyi opened her eyes.

"It doesn't seem like it's time to change people yet! You should get some more sleep!"

Li Ruyi's voice became more hoarse than before.

Li Shiwu shook his head and rubbed his neck with a painful expression.

"No, my head and neck hurt, and I can't sleep well. You should sleep first!"

Looking at Li Shiwu's actions, Li Ruyi's mind moved, and he suddenly remembered the time when Li Jixiang was knocked unconscious by Granny Ding, which was also Li Shiwu's current situation.

At that time, Grandma Ding bled her.

Li Ruyi still remembered the situation at that time. He reached into his sack and found the crossbow arrow and took it out.

"If you're really feeling uncomfortable, I'll help you bleed! It should be quite effective."

Li Shiwu sat on the straw pile, turned his head to look at the crossbow that Li Ruyi took out, and was silent for a moment.

"This... won't be a problem, right?"
