Good luck every time

Han Shian didn't sleep for long and woke up soon.

The two men put out the fire completely, and used the water on their bodies to put out the scattered sparks, then they climbed down from the rock in silence.

After resting for a night, Li Ruyi felt more pain all over her body than yesterday.

The two men took turns dragging the wolf's body down the mountain.

It is not easy to go down the mountain with a thing weighing more than 100 kilograms. When they reach a steep slope, Li Ruyi always has to tie the rope to a tree first, and the two of them slowly go down the mountain with the help of the tree and the rope.

Li Ruyi was reluctant to part with the rope she had made, so she had to come back and take it apart again.

Although the grass used to make straw ropes is common, Li Ruyi takes several days to make a rope, and it is still in good condition. Who would be willing to throw it away?

The two of them went down the mountain like this. On the way back, Li Ruyi caught a pheasant that was scared silly to the ground by a wolf.

The pheasant was startled by the noise of the two women coming down the mountain and came out of the bushes. It jumped onto the wolf. The smell of the wolf frightened the pheasant so much that it froze and stared with its eyes wide open, unable to move.

This made Li Ruyi very happy.

I almost rolled down the hillside while trying to catch a pheasant, luckily I had a rope tied around my body.

She tied the pheasant's claws and wings with a small straw rope and threw it together with the two wilted rabbits.

When they were almost at the foot of the mountain, it was the hottest time of the day. Both of them were sweating. The wound on Li Ruyi's body was a little inflamed, making her very uncomfortable.

After finding a good place and agreeing on a time, Han Shian went down the mountain.

He went home, changed his clothes, took a quick shower, and went to the county town without stopping.

Li Ruyi was not worried about whether Han Shian could find a buyer.

Not all students who could study in the county academy were poor. There were always some families with good financial conditions who could afford to buy a wolf.

She did not stay after Han Shian went back, but wandered around, looking for something to catch and digging wild vegetables.

She waited until it gradually darkened before dragging the wolf's corpse out of the forest. When she came out, it was already dark.

There were still voices in Sanjia Village, but no one was willing to spend the lamp oil. Li Ruyi left quietly and no one noticed.

She did not go into the village, but walked around the village and to the edge of the fields.

There was a small river over there with a single-plank bridge on it. Li Ruyi couldn't cross it, so she dragged the wolf's corpse there and sat down on the edge of the bridge.

The pheasant in the backpack had woken up long ago, and when she shook it around, it fluttered around looking for trouble, which scared Li Ruyi.

Darkness makes people less courageous, and that was why she was able to stay calm during this period of time when she brought food to her master in the dark.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, a carriage slowly approached from the other side of the stream.

Han Shian's voice was mixed in with the sound of insects, and it was faintly heard.

Li Ruyi shook his legs, quickly stood up and looked towards the other side of the river.

Soon, a figure holding a lantern jumped out of the carriage. It was none other than Han Shian.

No one from the host's family came. Han Shian was accompanied by the coachman, the farmhand and the housekeeper.

A hundred-pound wolf was a burden to two half-grown children, but it was nothing special to two strong farmhands.

Han Shian ran to Li Ruyi, holding a lantern to illuminate the area, while the housekeeper on the other side also held a torch to help.

Two farmhands ran over, lifted up the wolf's corpse and walked across the wooden bridge. Han Shian followed them and went to say goodbye to the housekeeper.

The housekeeper felt a little sorry when he saw the knife wound on the wolf's head, but the wolf skin was quite good. His master had enough to wear, but he lacked a good appearance.

He planned to use the wolf skin to cover the chairs in the hall and keep the wolf head as well.

Now it seems that this wolf skin is in good condition and looks quite imposing.

He gave the money readily. The total amount agreed upon was five taels. One tael of silver was pressed into a small round cake, which was very convenient to take and use.

This would make it easier to divide the spoils.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Han Shian watched the carriage leave before turning around and walking back across the single-plank bridge.

The two divided the money on the spot.

As agreed upon, the split was 40:60, so Han Shian gave Li Ruyi three taels of silver.

Li Ruyi accepted it happily. It was more than she had imagined. When the silver price was good, she could exchange it for more than 3,500 coins at the money shop, which was equivalent to an extra half a string of silver.

Although it seems more cost-effective to keep it for redemption, Li Ruyi had an idea in the morning and now is the time when the capital is needed.

Han Shian held the lamp and sent Li Ruyi back first, and then he returned to his own home.

As soon as I got home, I took out a brand new saw blade and replaced it, then took a cold shower and went to bed.

Over there, Li Ruyi pushed the door open happily.

As soon as she entered the door, she heard the blind old lady talking to her.

"The food is on the stove, and there's hot water in the pot."

Li Ruyi had long been accustomed to her indifference and did not feel disappointed at all. He skipped and ran to her side.

"Master, Master, I caught a pheasant and will make chicken soup for you tomorrow to nourish your body!"

The blind old lady sighed deeply.

"Stay away from me, it stinks!"

It would be strange if Li Ruyi smelled good. She smelled her arm, but perhaps because she was used to it, she didn't feel anything.

"Really? Then I'll go wash it off right away! La la la..."

She hummed a song and skipped to the kitchen to get some hot water. Halfway through, she saw a fair face suddenly appear at the door, hiding behind her loose hair.

Li Ruyi was so startled that he forgot what tune he was humming just now.

She patted her little heart.

"Big sister, are you walking without making any noise? You scared me!"

Li Jixiang ran out when he heard Li Ruyi's voice. He was standing barefoot at the door without wearing shoes. When he saw that Li Ruyi was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief.

I don’t know how she spent yesterday and today. She has dark circles under her eyes.

"Ruyi, you're back?"

"Why did you come back at this time?"

"Have you got a meal yet?"

"I'll fetch you some water..."

"Wash your hair too!"

Li Jixiang kept talking to her until he saw the injuries on Li Ruyi's body, then he fell silent.

The bruises were not clear under the dim oil lamp, but the wounds on the arms, hands and feet were clearly visible.

Now it is the second day after being injured. The wound has become a little festered due to the tossing and turning during the day. Combined with Li Ruyi's thin body, he looks very miserable.

The eldest sister's tears suddenly burst out.

They slept on the same kang, so these injuries could not be concealed. Since they would be known sooner or later, there was no need to hide them. It would be better to let the other party see them openly. It would be a good opportunity to help her apply some medicine, so that her injuries could recover faster.

Seeing Li Jixiang crying, Li Ruyi felt that it was okay.

This little pain was nothing to her, she had suffered worse injuries before.

She also found time to comfort her elder sister.

"Big sister, let me tell you, I encountered a big one this time, and I came back just now to deal with it!"

“Guess how much we made?”

The eldest sister felt even worse seeing her like this.

"Nothing is more important than your safety. I felt like something happened to you yesterday and couldn't sleep the whole night. Ruyi, you can't go up the mountain anymore! It's too dangerous!"

Li Ruyi didn't want to go for the time being, so she nodded.

"I won't go for now. Oh my! Guess how much I made this time."

After hearing Li Ruyi's assurance, the eldest sister finally had the heart to cooperate with her happiness.

"I don't know, how much did you earn?"

Li Ruyi held up three fingers.

The eldest sister showed a symbolic surprise.

"Three hundred coins?"

Li Ruyi clicked her tongue in disdain.

"What's three hundred coins? I made three thousand coins this time!"

This time the elder sister was really surprised.

"Three thousand coins? Why is it so much?"

After she finished speaking, her face suddenly turned ugly, and her heart was in turmoil. She remembered the wolf's howling last night, and other than that, she couldn't think of any other possibility.

"You met a wolf?"

Li Ruyi was used to her elder sister's dazed look, but this was the first time she witnessed her sharpness.

She moved her body, thinking about how to deal with it.

But the next moment the horse needle punctured the abscess on her arm, and a big hand ruthlessly squeezed the pus out, causing Li Ruyi to let out a trembling whimper in pain.

"Wuwuwuwu~Sister~you~be~gentle!"
