Good luck every time

The eldest sister turned over and hugged Li Ruyi with one arm.

Her shriveled chest pressed against Li Ruyi's equally skinny back.

The two people's hearts became closer in an instant.

"Ruyi, I'm sorry, I'm such a useless sister."

Li Ruyi thought she wouldn't care, but for some reason, when her elder sister finished speaking, her eyes felt a little hot.

"It's not your fault! It's the world that doesn't want us to live well."

The eldest sister didn't understand what she said.

She hugged Li Ruyi tightly, instinctively wanting to give her strength.

"I'm so useless! Not only can I not protect you, but I also have to distract you from protecting me."

"I will be fine from now on, Zhuzi... Zhuzi, just let him live the life he wants!"

Perhaps Li Ruyi should be thankful that the thirteen-year-old Li Jixiang can still think and weigh the pros and cons.

Instead of being like those people who silently give and treat themselves as an appendage of others, they lock themselves tightly in their hearts and are unwilling to change at all.

The faint moonlight outside the window poured into the room through the window frame. Li Ruyi closed her eyes tightly, feeling the warmth coming from her elder sister behind her.

This was the first time since she came back that she felt like she was not alone. Maybe her elder sister was just talking, and maybe nothing would have changed when she woke up tomorrow morning.

Li Ruyi knew that she didn't trust the other person too much, but the cage in her heart that trapped her was loosened a little because of this hug.

She has been lacking love from others for too long, so long that she has forgotten the feeling of having someone to rely on.

That night, she seemed to sleep particularly relaxed.

The next morning, just after daybreak, Li Ruyi suddenly felt a small branch hitting the edge of the kang above her head.

With a snap, she was awakened.

Immediately afterwards, the same voice was heard above the third brother’s head.

The two were so frightened that they climbed up with a crackling sound.

When the eldest sister heard the sound, she rubbed her eyes and sat up.

"What's wrong? What's that noise?"

Li Ruyi patted her heart which was beating violently after waking up.

"Nothing, my master asked us to get up and practice, you can sleep for a while!"

The third child is not very old, but because he got up suddenly early, he looked older.

When the eldest sister heard that Li Ruyi was going to practice martial arts, she also climbed up.

"You guys practice, I'll go cook."

Granny Ding was as silent as ever. When she saw her two apprentices getting up, she stood aside with her arms folded.

Soon, the three of them finished washing up.

Li Ruyi and the third brother were assigned the task of running.

"You are in poor health, so you need to lay the foundation during this period. I will teach you how to breathe. Remember this and run for half an hour in the morning and evening. Run for a few days first."

Both of them are in very weak health. Not to mention practicing martial arts, even maintaining a normal life might cause them to suffer from illness.

Although Granny Ding was anxious, she had to proceed step by step.

Li Ruyi was not afraid of walking. He thought running would be no problem. However, after running around the yard, he realized how weak he was.

Granny Ding followed them, explaining the steps and postures, and would whip Little Willow Branch from time to time.

Daybreak soon arrived and the eldest sister had prepared dinner, but they had not finished running yet. Li Ruyi's hair was disheveled and the third sister's eyes were wide open.

After half an hour, Li Ruyi almost fell to the ground.

Why can't she just walk? Or let her shovel the floor...

Granny Ding dragged them back to the yard, and the two of them gobbled up the food like starving ghosts.

Seeing that there was not enough food, the eldest sister hesitated for a moment, but without waiting for Grandma Ding to speak, she got up and cooked a bowl of porridge for Li Ruyi and the third sister.

Only after finishing the bowl of porridge did Li Ruyi feel barely 70% full.

But she didn't dare to talk about eating anymore. Li Er had not been taken care of yet, so she had to save the food.

She was going to look at the fish in the river.

The weather has been good recently and there are quite a lot of fish in the river.

Sure enough, this time she caught two more fish, one of which was quite big.

After taking out the fish maw and leaving the rest to his elder sister, Li Ruyi ran back to the place where he had set the trap by the river.

I didn't find the wild duck, but I did find a few wild duck eggs, which I took back and gave to my eldest sister.

They tasted delicious when they were cooked, but when I ate them I found two of them were smelly.

Li Ruyi felt heartbroken.

She repaired wood at home in the afternoon, and in the evening, she and the third child were taken out for a run again.

I came back from running and had a meal, but I was hungry all night.

Li Ruyi was very anxious!

She thought that if Li Er didn't come to find her again, she would really have to take her master to find Li Er!

Now the matter of revenge on Patriarch Li has to be put on hold for the time being, and eating is her most important priority.

However, Li Er did not let Li Ruyi come to his house.

When Li Ruyi and Lao San got up early to go jogging, Li Er came in the dark carrying food.

Before he arrived, Granny Ding had already reminded Li Ruyi.

"Those kids came last time."

When Li Ruyi heard that it was Li Ershi, he sped up immediately.

Just as she ran to the door, Li Er also arrived.

He was half a head taller than Li Ruyi and was carrying half a bag of grain.

When he saw Li Ruyi, he quickly made a gesture to keep quiet.

Li Ruyi nodded.

The two of them walked to a more remote place, and Li Er then spoke stealthily.

"I have brought you the food. It is more than what you asked for, but I have to take the bag of food."

Li Ruyi weighed it with his hand and felt that it was indeed about the same, so he agreed.

"Okay, wait for me for a while."

She carried most of the bag of grain on her shoulders and felt top-heavy. After carrying it to the kitchen, she found Grandma Ding's empty rice jar and poured the green wheat ears into it.

The eldest sister looked on in surprise. She wanted to say something, but opened her mouth and said nothing. After Li Ruyi poured the wheat ears in, she hurriedly helped to close the lid of the jar.

After Li Ruyi returned the bag to Li Ershi, she followed Grandma Ding to finish the run.

The eldest sister's meal was ready. Li Ruyi quickly cleaned up the rice, found the backpack, spread ramie leaves in it, and took out the green wheat ears from the jar.

The eldest sister had never done such a thing in her life, and she helped her pick out the green wheat ears with stiff hands.

After taking out all the things, Li Ruyi took the several small bags of grain at home and then told her.

"I'll find a place to deal with this thing. You keep an eye on the third brother and don't go out."
