Good luck every time

Li Ruyi was not surprised that Wang Jiu would have such a reaction.

She wouldn't believe this either.

But there is still a long way to go, and since I have decided to settle here, we will definitely have contact in the future.

Once you get familiar with each other, things will come naturally in the future.

Li Ruyi is a person who will seize the opportunity and rush forward when there is an opportunity. If there is no opportunity, he will create one and rush forward.

In her opinion, people like Wang Jiu are already the best partners.

"No! Can you please give me some advice, Brother Nine?"

Wang Jiu thought about it, stretched out his hand and called the younger brothers around him, and immediately someone handed Li Ruyi a hard-cover book in a folded-legged format.

When Li Ruyi opened it, he found that the paper was really good and the calligraphy was also quite good.

The rules mentioned by Wang Jiu are listed one by one in it.

What it means is to pay the premiums on time, don't cause trouble, and report any problems in advance.

There are many kinds of final punishments, such as arresting people to pay off the capital, and expelling them from Jiuchuan Lane...

After reading it, Li Ruyi closed it and put it aside.

"I've got the rules down!"

Wang Jiu was very close to Li Ruyi and carefully observed her expression. From the fact that she was not surprised to see the book, to her calm look when she opened it, and her peaceful attitude when reading, Wang Jiu took all of it in.

At this point, appearance is no longer a factor in the game between the two sides.

Just the indifferent look on Li Ruyi's face when she was reading and the fact that she could read made Wang Jiu feel a little concerned.

However, cooperation is still a long way off and neither side is in a hurry.

"Just remember that we in the Jiuchuan Gang won't ask too much about your affairs. Since you have settled here, we will also give you protection within the scope of morality."

As for the standard of "within morality", that is another matter.

If the relationship is good, the standards will be lower. If the relationship is bad, the standards will naturally be much higher. Maybe because you bump into someone while walking today, it will be judged as a fight beyond moral principles!

Li Ruyi naturally understood the ins and outs of this.

She didn't bother to argue and just smiled and thanked him.

"Thank you for your care, Brother Nine. If that's the case, why don't we sign the contract today? What do you think?"

Wang Jiu and Li Ruyi were very close to each other, and his side was obviously stronger between the two sides, but he did not feel any tension from Li Ruyi.

If it wasn't that this guy was too good at pretending, then the three of them must have someone to rely on.

Wang Jiu thought for a moment and called out to the person.

"Get a pen and paper!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone took out a pencil case.

The words "Jiuchuan" were engraved on the black wooden box.

Wang Jiu leaned back slightly, making room for the coffee table between him and Li Ruyi.

A wooden box was placed on top and opened. One compartment contained a brush, one compartment contained folded papers, and the other compartment contained a small inkstone, which contained a small ink stick and a box of ink pad.

The paper was opened, and the man used the pencil case to smooth and press the paper down. Someone outside opened some water and poured it on the inkstone.

Li Ruyi felt that the room had become much darker because of the two people blocking it, and he also leaned back.

Wang Jiu glanced at her.

"Miss Li, can you write?"

Li Ruyi didn't expect to be asked this question.

"meeting."

Wang Jiu waved his hand to ask the two people who were blocking the light to move away, then stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Li Ruyi put the pencil case over, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and was about to start writing when he suddenly remembered something and withdrew his hand.

"Brother Jiu! How do we divide long-term and short-term rentals?"

Wang Jiu said immediately.

"Three to five years is a long-term lease."

Li Ruyi smiled.

"Let's assume it's five years, how much will the rent be?"

Wang Jiu thought for a moment.

"Forty-five dong a year for the first three years, and ninety dong a year for the next two years."

This means that in the first three years, this place was considered a haunted house, but after Li Ruyi had lived here for three years, it became an ordinary courtyard.

Li Ruyi thought for a moment and then said nothing, picking up the pen and writing.

The caravan drivers were most familiar with all kinds of contracts. Although Li Ruyi did not often rent a yard, she had learned all the contract formats and wrote them according to the format required by the government.

When she finished writing, she fanned the undried ink with her hand to dry it, then put down the pen and handed the paper to Wang Jiu to read.

Li Ruyi's articles are not very good, but her handwriting is still okay. It can't compare with the famous calligraphers, but it also has some substance.

The most important thing is that there is not a single mistake in the words here, which shows how familiar Li Ruyi is with various contracts.

Wang Jiu's eyes flashed, he put down the paper and said.

"I'll have to trouble Miss Li to write another one!"

The deed must naturally be made in duplicate.

Of course, the deeds signed by Li Ruyi before were all in triplicate, and one copy had to be sent to the government office for filing.

In the county government, there are gangs everywhere and the government office is a joke. Whether or not to abide by the agreement depends entirely on morality and strength.

However, Li Ruyi's rental of a yard did not amount to a breach of contract.

Li Ruyi had no objection and wrote another one.

This time Wang Jiu didn't look at her again, but focused all his attention on her words.

Li Ruyi wrote very quickly and wrote the deed again in a very fluent manner.

After both parties pressed their fingerprints, Li Ruyi stretched out her hand and Li Er had already placed exactly the right amount of money in her palm, forty strings of cash for the first year, not a small amount.

Li Ruyi took it, counted it in front of Wang Jiu, and then handed him the exact amount of money.

Wang Jiu glanced at Li Er.

The other party moved so quickly that he didn't even see when Li Er took out the money from his bag.

Wang Jiu gave a wink and someone came over immediately to take the money.

"Although this 40 guan is a year's rent, the rules of our Jiuchuan Lane require long-term tenants to pay the rent two months in advance. Failure to pay the rent within the validity period of the contract is considered a breach of contract. Li Ruyi should have seen the consequences of breaching the contract just now!"

Li Ruyi didn't care.

"Of course I remember!"

Wang Jiu then stood up, and Li Ruyi followed suit.

"In that case, I wish Miss Li good fortune and may her wishes come true soon."

Li Ruyi smiled instantly, and her whole temperament was completely different from the innocent and harmless look she had at the gate before.

Wang Jiu put away his copy of the contract and left with his brothers.

Li Ruyi saw him off to the door and watched him leave.

Xiaoman and the others were out of his hearing range before he asked Li Ruyi with some confusion.

"Didn't we say we would only rent it for two or three months? How come it's been five years?"

Li Ruyi turned around and closed the door.

"Before, I just wanted to gather information, but now I think it's a good place to stay."

Before she came here, she had never thought of setting up the caravan's base here, so she planned to ask around first.

But after meeting Wang Jiu, Li Ruyi changed his mind!

The interaction between people is based on fate. You can tell at first glance that some people are not the same kind of people as you, and after some time of getting along, you will end up getting tired of each other.

Some people have certain common characteristics due to their environment or temperament, which makes people feel familiar at first sight.

Just like Wang Jiu, when Li Ruyi saw him for the first time, he felt that this was someone he could handle.

Sometimes intuition is not entirely metaphysical, but rather a summary of experience gained through observing other people's behaviors, actions, temperament and expressions.

This feeling is hard to explain and it eventually becomes an intuition.

Xiaoman frowned and thought, but couldn't figure out anything.

Li Er first put the luggage roll that he had hastily thrown outside the stable into the house, and then began to look around.

He took out a charcoal pencil and wrote down the things he needed to buy.

The contract has been signed and the money has been paid, so there is really no need to think about whether it is right or not.

The horses have not been prepared for fodder, so they will run out of food today.

You also have to look at the carriages, as well as the food and vegetables.

There was no need to buy a new pot, but the bowls and chopsticks should still be replaced. The bedding didn't matter, they had their own...

While Li Er was checking, Li Ruyi had already asked Xiaoman to clean the room.

Use what can be used and dispose of what cannot be used as soon as possible.

Xiaoman found a basin and went to the well to fetch water, while Li Ruyi found a rope and measured the bodies of several people.

"Second sister, are you going to make clothes?"

Li Ruyi shook her head.

"I need to go to the blacksmith. Our weapons need to be replaced as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Xiaoman subconsciously reached for the knife at his waist.

"but I……"

Li Ruyi glanced at her.

"You're fine. I'll give you another one. You should spend the next two days getting used to using three knives. If you can use them in a variety of ways, others won't be able to see the flaws."

Li Ruyi and Li Er are not suitable. Li Er's sword is very heavy, and it is difficult for him to change his martial arts style. Li Ruyi plans to make a lighter sword for him. He should use that sword normally and not reveal his identity unless it is absolutely necessary.

She wrote down the approximate heights of the three men, told the third child to take care of the house, and then went to the blacksmith alone.

Perhaps because he had been waiting for too long, the blacksmith was not at the counter. After Li Ruyi entered the door, he waited for a while before he came out from the backyard.

The pile of cowhide rolls was still spread out on the counter, and he picked out a few to show Li Ruyi.

He originally thought that Li Ruyi wanted two knives, but he didn't expect that these 'two knives' were not those 'two knives'. Li Ruyi asked for four knives at once.

Li Erxiaoman added one more knife each, and Li Ruyi added two knives. In addition, she went around and bought bows and crossbows, holsters, and soft armor according to the needs of the three people.

When Li Ruyi came out from the blacksmith's place, a tall young man followed him, pushing a cart full of wooden boxes.

"Miss Li, where are you sending her to?"

Li Ruyi pointed to the yard he had just rented.

"Not far, right there!"

The young blacksmith took a look and said, "Hmm! It's not far away indeed."

But before he could feel excited, he took a deep breath.

"This...this...Miss Li, you are from another place, right?"

Li Ruyi laughed when she heard it, and her words were completely different from her temperament at the moment.

"It's a haunted house! It's fine with me!"

The young blacksmith looked at Li Ruyi with a different look in his eyes. He used to think that this girl was a sucker who had money but nowhere to spend it.

But at this moment, that innocent and simple appearance suddenly became unfathomable in his eyes.

There are many people in this world who dare to kill people, but not many dare to live in a haunted house.

Some people become more cowardly the more they kill people. The more karma they are involved in, the more they dislike the unlucky atmosphere of this place.
