Good luck every time

Han Shian gave a helpless smile, but the turmoil in his heart also dissipated.

Li Ruyi restrained his expression and withdrew his hand.

"I'll find two people to follow you tomorrow!?"

In order to avoid escalating conflicts, Han Shian must go to the home of Patriarch Han, but Li Ruyi is not comfortable with him going alone.

There are too many people in this world who would rather destroy something if they can't get it.

Han Shian was originally a nobody in the Han family, and if he rashly visited them, there would probably be no good results.

Han Shian calmed down and looked at Li Ruyi.

"No need. It would be bad to bring someone there. I have my own way to deal with it. Just do what you want!"

Li Ruyi suddenly understood where Han Shian's previous concerns about her came from.

She smiled instead.

"I used to think that it was the hardest thing to have to do something when you were worried, but now it seems that it is still better than being able to trust someone without saying a word."

Han Shian didn't understand why she changed the subject so quickly, but he still looked at her and smiled.

"He has to be a trustworthy person!"

Having said that, the only thing left to discuss is the cooperation between the two sides tomorrow.

Li Ruyi ate while Han Shian was talking, and when they were full, they finished the discussion.

Li Ruyi sent him out the door, then remembered the cat and asked him about it.

"Are you going to take the two cats back with you?"

You know what, after I’ve gotten used to it, I’m reluctant to give it away.

Han Shian shook his head.

"No, I can't keep it in my yard, and I'd be sad if it got lost."

"Go back! Get some rest early."

Li Ruyi didn't hesitate to nod and went to close the door.

Han Shian seemed to remember something and suddenly called her.

"correct!"

Li Ruyi looked up. The moonlight was dim and she saw Han Shian taking something out of his arms.

She reached out to take it, and it turned out to be a stone pendant. Judging from its shape, it seemed to be hanging on a sword.

"I haven't congratulated you on your martial arts breakthrough yet. The sword is too expensive to give you, so I'll give you a sword pendant first."

It was too dark to see clearly, so Li Ruyi put the things away and also reminded Han Shian.

"You should rest early too."

Han Shian nodded and watched the gate slowly close before he turned around and went back.

Because the kang had been heated during the day, the room was not yet completely cold. Han Shian went back to collect firewood, started a fire, spread out the quilt, and then went to bed.

Li Ruyi closed the door, went back into the house, took out the stone and looked at it against the light.

The stone is just an ordinary stone, but it has orange and red lines, is warm and soft to the touch, and has holes drilled in it and ropes strung through it. It looks pretty good.

Li Ruyi picked it up and turned it around, but didn't see anything special, so he found the ring-handled sword and hung it up.

After putting away his things and blowing out the lights, Li Ruyi thought that he would definitely sleep well tonight.

But she didn't expect that she would sleep very badly that night. The sounds that she couldn't hear clearly before now sounded like thunder, the snoring of the third child, the tossing of the eldest sister...

That’s not all. What makes Li Ruyi most upset is the cat at home. On weekdays, she is so tired that she falls asleep and can’t hear anything.

But that night, Li Ruyi heard clearly which cat was running around on the ground, which one jumped onto the kang, who stepped on whom, and who fought with whom.

The cats didn't seem to be fighting in the house, but in her mind.

She sat up from the kang speechlessly, and reached out to grab the potato that passed over her.

These cats are lazy during the day but extremely active at night!

Li Ruyi stuffed the cats into the quilt, hoping to make them quiet down.

However this is impossible!

Running here and there, soon a cat came to fight with Li Ruyi!

She was so tired that she heard Granny Ding's voice.

"If you can't sleep, just meditate and enter a state of concentration!"

Li Ruyi yawned and sat in her original position, trying to meditate, but the chaos around her always interrupted her, making her feel upset and restless.

Just then, Grandma Ding's voice came.

"Concentrate your mind and calm your breath, and your mind and spirit will be unified. The qi will flow naturally, and the inside and outside will be connected..."

Perhaps it was because Granny Ding's intimidation was too strong. As soon as she opened her mouth, Li Ruyi would be attracted by her words.

Those words slowly turned into symbols one by one, the surrounding sounds slowly faded away, and Li Ruyi's breathing slowly followed the rhythm of the mental method.

The third child, who was sleeping next to her, suddenly felt as if there was a heater next to her. She was so hot that she kicked the quilt away.

The third child couldn't stand it, but the cat at home loved it.

Soon, a circle of cats surrounded Li Ruyi.

The next day, she woke up from her trance when the donkey brayed.

Entering into a state of meditation is like a light sleep and it cannot really replace sleep, at least not for Li Ruyi.

When she came back from feeding the donkey, the cat at home had calmed down, so she lay down to sleep. She slept until it was time to get up early to practice, when she was woken up by Grandma Ding.

Li Ruyi yawned and started practicing. She thought she was still the same as before, but unexpectedly, Granny Ding singled her out.

"Those trainings are just to improve your physique and prepare for entry. Now that you have entered, you must learn what you should learn!"

After saying this, Granny Ding walked into the house, took out a ring-handled knife and threw it to Li Ruyi.

"From today on, you will become a swordsman! The sword will always be with you, and you will always be with the sword. You have to adapt to it and feel it!"

Li Ruyi stretched out his hand and grabbed the knife.

She was a little embarrassed.

She had never seen a peddler carrying a knife, but she didn't dare tell Granny Ding, so she could only rack her brains to think of a solution.

This thing is not small, it seems impossible to hide it...

However, Li Ruyi couldn't be distracted at this moment.

After Grandma Ding gave her the knife, she asked her to tie it to her back.

Li Ruyi did as she was told. Granny Ding waited until she was tied up before she formally taught her a set of boxing techniques.

This set of boxing techniques is very simple. It is not for fighting against the enemy, but only for practicing the coordination of various parts of the body.

Li Ruyi is not very old at this moment and her body is still very flexible.

However, the knife on her back was very troublesome. There were some actions that she could clearly complete, but she couldn't do them at all because of the knife on her back.

"Master, can I take off my sword first to practice?"

After hearing what she said, Granny Ding instantly hit the back of her hand with the soft willow branch, making Li Ruyi cry out.

"When you go out into the martial arts world and fight enemies, they will surely hope that you take off your sword! Why are you in such a hurry now?"

Li Ruyi: …

She understood that this was also to prepare for future battles against enemies. From the beginning of her martial arts training, she had adapted to the feeling of the knife behind her, and the knife behind her had become a part of her body.

This way you won't become a burden when fighting the enemy.

Li Ruyi didn't know if this was how other people practiced martial arts, but she could only listen to Grandma Ding at this moment.

She nodded, rubbed the back of her hand that was hurt by the beating, and went to practice without saying anything.

Today's boxing is more difficult for her, and I heard that after getting started, there are footwork and body movements to practice, but it must be done step by step.

With Li Ruyi's current level, if she were asked to do horse stance, she might not be able to last even half a minute. She has to move before she can be still. At her age, she can no longer think about all-round development. She can only go one way. Even if she practices to the extreme, she can also be a strong person.

Granny Ding likes Li Ruyi's decisiveness. No matter the identity of the enemy, she always has the courage to cut down mountains and cut off rivers. If such a person can practice the sword skill, she will not be a muddle-headed person in the world.
