Good luck every time

Li Ruyi knew how to use silver needles to acupuncture in her previous life. In this life, she practiced martial arts and received guidance from Granny Ding, so she became much stronger than in her previous life. She felt confident and reached out to call Li Shiwu over.

"Don't worry! There will be no problem!"

As she spoke, she had already placed the crossbow arrows on the fire.

The metal arrowhead turned twice in the fire and was stained a little black.

Li Shiwu walked to Li Ruyi, and Li Ruyi moved some space out of the wood pile. Li Shiwu sat down, and Li Ruyi held the crossbow arrow and stabbed several of his acupuncture points.

After the stabbing, a little blood was squeezed out, and soon Li Shiwu felt that his dizzy head and aching neck were much lighter.

"It's really useful!"

Li Ruyi wiped his hands with a handkerchief and told him to be careful of insects or something touching his wound.

Then he got up and lay down in the position where Li Shiwu had just been and went to sleep.

Li Shiwu yawned. He had nothing to do, so he just broke the wood chips along the grain and threw them into the fire little by little, trying to kill time.

Occasionally, I feel sleepy and yawn.

It rained outside all night and the wind gradually died down.

Li Ershi woke up in the middle of the night and ran outside to get water for Li Shiwu.

His clothes were wet again, and he dried them while adding firewood.

Tian was hungry, so he took out a steamed bun and started eating it.

I choked halfway through eating it, so I opened the bamboo tube and took a sip of ginger soup.

The cold ginger soup was so spicy that his eyes widened, but he finally choked on the dry food.

Li Shiwu was lying in the place where Li Ershi had slept before. He was very sleepy just now, but now he couldn't fall asleep for some reason.

The two of them spoke in low voices, talking about the previous attacks.

"How do you think Ruyi will handle it?"

Li Er curled his lips.

"Who knows! She has a lot of ideas!"

Li Er couldn't help but think of the time when he kidnapped Li Bang and Li Xi.

It’s not that he thinks too much, but this is the image of Li Ruyi in his mind.

However, he could never say such words to Li Shiwu, and he didn't even dare to show any strange emotions in front of Li Shiwu.

"But Ruyi is still too young, and I'm afraid she'll suffer."

Li Er: ...

"No, have you ever seen anyone more capable than her at this age? I haven't seen one anyway! She must have her own plans."

Li Shiwu was still worried.

"But she can't do this kind of thing alone, can she? I always feel that we both have responsibilities. If I wasn't unprepared, I wouldn't have been able to let anyone knock me out."

Li Shiwu turned over and started again!

"Besides, Ruyi reminded us at that time, but we still didn't pay attention."

"Next time something like this happens, you should hurry back to the donkey cart. You said Ruyi had told me where the hatchet was, but why didn't I think of grabbing the hatchet at that time?"

Li Er looked at his back and rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Just remember it next time. Next time we can take out the knife first and then check here."

Li Shiwu sighed.

"Let's talk about it next time!"

He still feels guilty about what happened this time, and words like "be careful next time" won't comfort him.

Li Er couldn't persuade him and fell silent.

Li Shiwu tossed and turned for a long time and couldn't fall asleep, and he kept tossing and turning until morning.

After daybreak, the rain slowly stopped.

The road outside was difficult to walk on, so Li Ruyi sat up and walked to the door to look at the drizzle outside, and directed Li Er to go outside to fetch water.

Li Er took the pottery jar out, washed it clean by the river, and brought back a jar of water.

He placed the clay pot on the fire, and when the water was warm, he poured some into the bamboo tube. After everyone washed up, they threw the salted fish and wild vegetables in to cook, and had a full meal with steamed corn bread.

It wasn't raining hard outside, but it was drizzling.

Li Shiwu began to worry again.

"Will the people from the village come today?"

Li Ruyi looked at the clouds in the sky that had not dispersed and shook his head.

"They won't come. The mountain road is difficult to travel on, and it keeps raining. They can't carry all the salt up there."

Li Ruyi had made an agreement with others before that if it rained, he could come back one or two nights later.

Everyone has difficulties, so safety should be the top priority.

The three of them sitting here seemed to have nothing to do. Li Ruyi continued to meditate, while Li Er and Li Shiwu talked on the side.

The two talked about the gossip in the village and which girl was pretty.

There are many sons in the family, and the most important thing is finding a wife.

Li was fifteen years old, but his family was too poor and had little land, so there were not many people to help him.

Li Ruyi sat on the side like a piece of wood, already in a state of meditation.

By the afternoon, the rain had not stopped and it had gotten heavier.

Li Ruyi originally thought that no one would come to the village, but unexpectedly, Tian Twelve actually came down the mountain in the wind and rain.

He was wearing a straw raincoat, a bamboo hat, leaning on a stick, and his bare feet were covered in mud.

When he walked near the wooden house, Li Ruyi suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

She instantly came out of her trance and reached out to pick up the hatchet beside her.

Li Ershi and Li Shiwu were both startled and stood up, grabbing their axes.

Outside the house, there was a sound of footsteps on the sticky mud.

Soon, Tian Twelve stood at the door.

He saw the oilcloth on the window and the hint of light shining through it.

His voice arrived before the person even entered the door.

"Li Er! Are you in there?"

Only after hearing Tian Twelve's voice did Li Ruyi feel relieved.

After all, she was just a small salt merchant, not worth so many people coming out in the wind and rain to kill her.

"Here! Here! Twelve Brother, is that you?"

Li Ruyi went over to open the door and let the person in.

Tian Twelve rolled up his trouser legs, his feet were covered in mud, his straw sandals were hanging around his neck, and his body was covered in moisture.

"Why did you come down the mountain in such heavy rain?"

Tian Twelve still had that serious face.

"It looks like the rain won't stop anytime soon. The boss is worried that you don't have enough food, so he asked me to send some over."

Li Ruyi let him in and quickly closed the door again.

Li Ershi and Li Shiwu had already hidden the hatchets and took out some dry straw for Tian Shier to clean the mud off his feet.

Tian Twelve hung his hat and raincoat on the nails on the window to hold down the oilcloth so that it would not fly around.

Many parts of his body were wet, but the bag on his back was still dry.

It was filled with flatbread and dried meat.

Li Ruyi reserved a seat for him, and the four of them sat in a circle around the fire, and the donkey was driven to the back.

Li Ruyi is so fed up with this thing that keeps peeing and shitting everywhere!
