Good luck every time

The eldest sister didn’t know how Li Ruyi would deal with it.

She didn't dare to ask and could only silently send her second sister out.

Li Ruyi avoided people all the way and walked upstream along the river, all the way to the upper reaches. Normally no one would go there, so it was the most suitable place to deal with some shameful things.

She picked up a lot of firewood, set up a rack, and took out the green wheat ears and roasted them on the fire.

The green wheat ears at this time are best roasted!

After baking, Li Ruyi rubbed off the shells, leaving the wheat kernels inside, which she put in a small bag.

After a while, her hands felt a little sore from rubbing, so she put bags on both hands and rubbed them.

This is a tedious job and it will take some time to finish it.

Fortunately, she is not really eleven years old now, and she is just busy working in silence.

The sun rose quickly and the surroundings became hot.

Li Ruyi stepped back a little.

Just as she stood up again and again to pick up the wheat ears, a slight noise suddenly came from the surroundings.

Li Ruyi had been alert to his surroundings the whole time and stood up immediately when he heard the noise.

She quickly covered the basket containing wheat ears and tied the grain bag tightly. Just as she was preparing to put out the fire at any time, a figure climbed up from below.

Their eyes met and Li Ruyi patted his chest.

"Why did you come back so soon? Aren't you afraid that the teacher at the academy will scold you?"

The person who came was none other than Han Shian.

He climbed up by pulling on the weeds around him.

He didn't show any strange expression when he saw Li Ruyi roasting wheat ears.

"The last time I saw you, you were sick. I don't know how you are recovering."

In addition to worrying about Li Ruyi's health, he was also worried that the thugs had not left because the amount of food he sent last time was not much, so Li Ruyi took the risk of going to the county to buy food.

In fact, he also had some guesses in his mind, thinking that Li Ruyi should have a more reliable method, but he was worried about her, so he always came back to check.

Li Ruyi was in very good condition. Although the running and jumping in the past two days did not bring about a qualitative leap in her martial arts, it made her mental outlook better.

"I'm fine now, I'm alive and kicking! By the way, I also found a master, and I will learn martial arts from him in the future."

Han Shian was obviously stunned when he heard that she wanted to be her apprentice. When he heard her say that she wanted to learn martial arts, he was stunned and then calmed down.

In her previous life, she had once talked to Han Shian about becoming his disciple, but at that time, the master she was worshipping was a singer in a brothel.

He smiled sincerely.

"Then I have to congratulate you! So from now on I have a chivalrous friend!"

As he said this, he bowed and saluted Li Ruyi.

"My name is Han Shian, nice to meet you, Mr. Li."

Li Ruyi was amused by his appearance. Although this man was young, he looked very serious and even his jokes were so mature.

She picked up an ear of wheat from the fire, blew away the sparks and handed it to Han Shian.

"I'll give you a taste."

Han Shian naturally reached out to take it, blew it to cool it down a little before starting to rub the wheat husks.

When Li Ruyi saw him, she suddenly remembered what she had found that day and told him about it.

"By the way, there is a secret compartment in the toolbox you brought last time. I found an oilcloth bag in it. It might be an important thing for you at home. Don't forget to take it back later."

Han Shian tilted his head back and put all the wheat grains into his mouth. When he heard Li Ruyi talking about the oilcloth bag, he thought for a moment and knew what it was.

"Oh, that's my grandfather's notes. I remember it was some carpentry experience, not very advanced. If you want to read it, leave it and take a look."

Li Ruyi originally wanted to refuse out of embarrassment, but suddenly remembered that she was probably illiterate at that time.

If she could read, not only would Han Shian not be able to explain clearly, but her sisters would also be suspicious.

She turned her head to rub the wheat ears, avoiding Han Shian's sight, and started talking nonsense.

"It's not impossible, but I can't read, so I'm afraid I won't be able to understand anything."

Han Shian: ...

He turned his head inconspicuously to look at Li Ruyi, and quickly turned his head back.

The two of them communicated via letters in their previous life, so of course he knew that Li Rushi was illiterate.

However, what he didn't expect was that he discovered Li Ruyi's abnormality at the first time, but the other party didn't realize that they were the same.

Han Shian fell silent. He felt that Li Ruyi was living a comfortable and happy life now. Mentioning the past life would only add to her worries.

But if you don’t say it…

Seeing the other party being secretive, Han Shian was worried that Li Ruyi would get angry and embarrassed if she found out that he was doing something wrong.

He judged others by himself, and it was not a good feeling to be spied on by someone who knew his secrets.

The two were silent for a moment, and Li Ruyi picked up another ear of wheat, turned to ask him.

"So...are you still eating?"

Han Shian came back to his senses and took the wheat ear with a smile.

"When you talk about literacy, it reminds me that I have some enlightenment books at home. They were written for me by my grandfather."

"There are pictures and words on it. Children may not be able to understand it. If it were you, you could learn it by yourself."

Li Ruyi's eyes lit up.

This is a good idea!

Not only did she learn to read, she could also teach her eldest sister and the third child to learn to read together.

"Would you like to lend me a book?"

Han Shian looked at her with sincerity in his eyes.

"nature."

Li Ruyi was delighted and patted his thin shoulder vigorously.

"I need no thanks for your kindness! If you have any questions in the future, please tell me. I, the great hero Li, will not refuse!"

After hearing this, Han Shian clasped his fists solemnly.

"Master Li, you are too kind. These are just trivial matters. If..."

He was halfway through his words when he noticed a black dot passing through the air.

The next moment, Li Ruyi felt that her hands were empty. She looked up and saw Han Shian quickly stand up and take a step back.

Li Ruyi didn't understand what was going on when she heard a "pop" and something fell on the spot where Han Shian had just sat.

She looked down and saw a pool of bird droppings.

Han Shian shook his robe and calmly walked to the other side of Li Ruyi and sat down.

Li Ruyi watched him do this and tried to restrain herself, but still couldn't control herself and laughed out loud.

"Master Han is agile and calm, and he looks like a good candidate for martial arts!"

Han Shian shook his head helplessly.

"Master Li, please don't laugh at me. It's just the fate of the times. I can't help it!"

Li Ruyi felt that he was both pitiful and funny, and finally restrained herself a little.

Han Shian looked at the wheat ears and asked Li Ruyi.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Li Ruyi felt that Han Shian was like her elder sister, worrying about her all day long.

"I've been thinking about becoming a peddler recently, buying things from the county and selling them in places farther away."

Han Shian felt that since Li Ruyi had spoken, she must have a plan, so he did not ask about safety issues, but only asked her.

"Have you thought about what to sell?"

Li Ruyi didn't have much capital, and with her small body, there weren't many things suitable for her to buy or sell.

"Needles, thread, and the like! These things are light and not expensive. I'll go to the county and ask around. If there are better things, I'll try to bring some with me."
