Good luck every time

He was a young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old, fair-skinned and with eyes full of curiosity. He glanced towards the yard, and when he saw the gate, his eyes met Li Ruyi who was looking at him.

The young man panicked, his hand slipped, and he fell down with a cry of "Ouch".

He scratched at the wall with both hands, and when he was about to grab it, Li Ruyi helped him. She took out a stone, swung it and hit it. The stone drew an arc in the air and hit the boy on the forehead accurately.

"Ah! My head!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a crackling sound, and the young man fell directly back home!

Li Ruyi didn't react much. He didn't feel funny nor angry. He was just thinking about setting some traps around the yard.

This is Quzhou County after all, and there are more thieves coming and going than in other places. Xiaoman is very powerful, but he has not reached the top level. If they are not paying attention, several of them will fall into the passive position!

As for the young man who fell down just now, Li Ruyi forgot about him after beating him.

The young man had average martial arts skills, average looks, and seemingly average intelligence. Li Ruyi had not yet found any reason to deepen his connection with him.

Of course, there’s still time to contact them once you find out.

Yuancai fell over there and grimaced, and he couldn't get up for a long time.

However, he was the only one in the yard, and no one cared if he couldn't get up.

After struggling for a while, he finally stood up, holding up his bruised head.

"This girl is so beautiful, how could she be so cruel!"

He muttered something, but unfortunately no one paid any attention.

After Li Ruyi returned to her room, she saw Xiaoman still in a daze. She walked to Xiaoman and looked in the direction Xiaoman was looking.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you cleaning?"

Xiaoman thought about it and said.

"Second sister, I think something is wrong there!"

Li Ruyi looked at Xiaoman's conflicted expression, then turned to look at the beam she had been staring at for a long time.

"What's wrong? Have you checked up there?"

Xiaoman nodded vigorously.

"I went, and it was precisely because I went that I felt something was even more wrong!"

Li Ruyi was not in a hurry and waited for her to continue speaking, but after waiting for a while, Xiaoman said nothing.

Just at this moment, someone knocked on the gate and the two sisters came to their senses.

"It must be Brother Twenty who has returned!"

Xiaoman agreed.

"Correct!"

Li Ruyi walked out of the room and greeted people outside.

"Come on, come on!"

The knocking on the door stopped, the gate opened, and it was indeed Li Ershi.

The delivery man followed behind him. Li Er went to remove the threshold of the yard and let the mule cart enter the yard.

There were three burly men in the car, and they were all stunned when they saw Li Ruyi.

One of them jumped very high and sprained his ankle when he landed from the mule cart.

His face turned red from holding it in, and the veins under his hat were popping out, but he managed to hold back and not make any sound.

Li Ruyi looked back and saw that there were only these things, so he hastily closed the door and turned back to watch those people unloading the truck into the yard.

Li Er bought some daily necessities, such as pots, pans, grains, vegetables and meat.

Then there were some ready-made clothes and a few miscellaneous trifles, all for legitimate use.

Li Ruyi didn't invite anyone into the house, mainly because there was no place to sit inside.

After they put their things down, Li Er paid their bill and sent them out.

The man with a sprained ankle kept looking back every few steps, but unfortunately he couldn't attract Li Ruyi's attention at all.

On the other side, Li Ruyi handed over the follow-up to Li Ershi and went back to study the beams with Xiaoman.

When Li Er lowered the door sill, he turned around and saw a pile of things there.

He shook his head speechlessly and began to move things into the house. However, just as he moved a little closer to the door, he fell into a similar state as Xiaoman and Li Ruyi.

"Didn't you go up and take a look?"

Li Ruyi also went up to take a look just now.

"I looked at it, but I didn't see anything wrong. The third sister said she didn't know either, but she just felt something was weird!"

After hearing this, Li Er used the force of the force to jump onto the beam. He then checked again but couldn't find any problems.

He landed on the ground and dusted his hands.

"How about we tear down this section of the beam?"

Li Ruyi frowned and shook his head.

"No, I just checked, this section of beam is very important."

Li Ruyi was a half-carpenter after all, and since she said such things, it was difficult for Li Er to refute her.

He looked at Li Ruyi’s still furrowed brows.

"Why don't we just leave it there for now? We still have five years!"

Li Ruyi had no better idea, and she was not worried about whether she could find the secret.

What she was worried about was that the death of the family earlier might be suspicious.

But she didn't say this in the end. One reason was that there would be one less person to worry about and one less trouble. Another reason was that if it was really as she thought, Xiaoman and Li Er would be most relaxed if they knew nothing and would not be implicated.

Of course, it could also be that she was thinking too much.

After all, if someone really had their eyes on that family, those people could have rented the yard before they came, instead of waiting for them to move in and cause unnecessary trouble.

Putting this matter aside, the three of them quickly cleaned the rooms they would use.

Li Ruyi tied up all the clothes and bedding she had from earlier and asked Li Er to take them to the dilapidated temple when he was free, so that the little beggars could use them for the winter.

The candlesticks and oil lamps were all replaced with new ones, and she hung a brand new lantern at the door of the house. The newly bought pot was also placed on the stove by Li Ruyi, and the old things were also thrown away, including the toilet and bathtub in the house.

Li Er has been with Li Ruyi for so many years, but this is the first time he sees her wasting money like this.

However, he always completed everything Li Ruyi asked him to do without compromise, and this time was no exception.

The three of them were so busy that they didn't even have time to eat at noon. Li Er hired a car from outside and sent all the things they had packed up to the dilapidated temple as instructed.

When he came back he brought back a roast chicken and ten steamed buns.

White flour buns were very expensive, so the three of them washed their hands and faces and ate hurriedly, then continued to work after eating.

It wasn't until it got dark that the yard was finally cleaned up.

On the first day they lived here, the three of them did not sleep well. A thief came from nowhere and ran over from the roof of someone's house nearby, only to be caught and beaten up.

Xiaoman covered her ears in annoyance, but still couldn't block out the noisy noise around her.

Li Er slept for a while in the first half of the night, got up and walked around in the second half, and then sat in the middle hall to meditate.

He knew that if Li Ruyi heard what was happening here, she would be able to have a good rest.

The next morning, the three of them got up to practice.

Because Li Ruyi realized yesterday that weapons and martial arts could easily expose one's true identity, the three of them got up this morning and practiced other martial arts.

While he was practicing, he heard a noise from the yard next door, and an old man's voice spoke into his own house.

"Yuancai, grandpa is out, you stay at home and take good care of the house. Don't forget to prepare all the herbs today!"

The young man agreed in a lazy voice.

Li Ruyi glanced over there and then looked away.

There was a blue brick wall between the two houses, which was about six feet high, so she couldn't see anything.

However, it is not difficult to hear from the old man's words just now that this old man should be someone who deals with medicinal materials all year round.

The people living in the other yard were not as diligent as the old man next door. Only after the three of them had finished practicing did noises come from that yard.

There was a gurgling sound, as if someone was pushing something.

After this person left, after a while, the sound of children practicing martial arts could be heard.

Judging from the footsteps, there were about three children.

Xiaoman was a little curious and wanted to climb over the wall, but was held down by Li Ruyi.

Do unto others, do not impose on others.

She just beat up a wall climber yesterday, and today her own sister did the same thing to her. How embarrassed she was!

Xiaoman failed to disobey Li Ruyi.

But Li Ruyi did not disappoint her. She steamed some colorful cakes with the things Li Er brought back yesterday.

In the absence of a suitable mold, Li Ruyi used a clean cloth and wooden strips to press it into a square, regular shape, arranged it neatly, and then wrapped it with oil paper.

She then went door to door with some wine.

Xiaoman followed Li Ruyi and felt Li Ruyi's tactfulness up close for the first time.

By the time all the items were delivered, Li Ruyi had already chatted with every household around.

Although she couldn't remember every detail of the family, Li Ruyi had memorized most of the details, such as how many family members there were, their names, their ages, etc.
