Good luck every time

The thug boss finally relaxed a little this time, and Li Ruyi was happy as long as they could communicate.

I'm just afraid that this guy is really a lunatic and he just wants to chop off their hands for no reason to vent his anger.

"You say, you say, as long as we can do it."

The person who was chopped by Li Ruyi was now in tears. He finally understood his situation.

Li Ruyi turned around in front of the thug boss, and finally stopped and squatted down.

"I'm actually a very friendly person. I don't like to do anything to offend others. However, if you touch my bottom line, that's another matter."

Li Ruyi reached out and pulled the unconscious Li Zhuzi out from the shadows.

The child with his eyes closed now looked a bit cute as expected for his age.

Li Ruyi reached out, straightened his clothes, and smoothed his hair.

The look in her eyes when she looked at Li Zhuzi was filled with complexity that no one else could understand, and it made the thug boss tremble with fear.

At this moment, Li Ruyi was more terrified than when she was about to chop off her hand just now.

After tidying up, Li Ruyi was very satisfied with Li Zhuzi's current appearance. She sighed, turned back and looked at the thug boss and said.

"I don't want to let you run for nothing, so let's put it this way, I definitely won't go with you, and you can forget about my sisters. I'm usually quite generous, but if I hold a grudge against someone, I won't stop until I make him suffer a fate worse than death!"

She chuckled.

"That's a bit far-fetched!"

"What I mean is that Li Zhuzi belongs to you. Just find a trafficker to sell him far away and don't let him run back..."

"By the way, that's what he said when he wanted to sell me out, right?"

Li Ruyi asked the thug leader very seriously, without any excitement or pleasure of revenge, just calmly as if he was asking him whether the big meat buns sold at the county gate today were three cents each.

At this moment, the thug boss felt a chill in his heart and was more afraid of Li Ruyi than ever before.

In the gloomy room, the little girl held up an oil lamp. The bean-sized flame illuminated her childish face, revealing her eyes that were as calm as water and full of vicissitudes of life.

This kind of terror comes from the perception deep in the soul. There is no hysteria, no surprise, it is just so ordinary, yet full of weirdness.

The thug boss was so frightened that his breathing became disordered.

Seeing that the other party was really scared, Li Ruyi retracted the look in his eyes and asked the other party innocently.

"Didn't you hear me?"

The thug boss was frightened and shook his head and nodded.

"No, I know, I know! Don't worry, I will definitely sell it far away! That money..."

Li Ruyi doesn't care.

"What money? It has nothing to do with me! Li Zhuzi is a family of his own. Even though he is young, the head of the Li family should be the one in charge. It has nothing to do with me, a sister who has split up and left the family."

The thug boss seemed to have a bad brain. He felt like he understood every word Li Ruyi said, but didn't understand them when they were put together.

He swallowed and smelled the rotten smell of rags, which made him feel sick again.

He dry-heaved, but looking at Li Ruyi's cold eyes, he immediately suppressed the nausea that was rising up and forced out an ugly smile.

"I understand, I understand. Chief Li asked us to do it!"

Li Ruyi seemed very confused and asked him.

"Why did Patriarch Li let you do this?"

Thug Boss: ...

( ′^` )

Isn't that what you said? Why are you doing this for me?

He wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Why? Why did Patriarch Li ask us to do this? I..."

Li Ruyi looked at him as if he was really waiting for an answer.

This is a kind of mental control. She uses threats and pressure to cause panic in the other party, making the other party fall into confusion. Such emotions will last for a long time, and even if people leave here, they will not even want to recall the past.

She had experienced this in her previous life, but she was the one being controlled!

The leader of the thugs didn't react, but his younger brother, who was weak from losing too much blood after his hand was chopped off, reacted quickly.

He didn't stay there for nothing during this period!

"It's for Li Zhuzi's two acres of land! For land! The clan leader has a lot of land, but he wants more."

Li Ruyi immediately turned his gaze to him and nodded encouragingly, giving him affirmation.

"Yes!"

After saying that, she turned around and asked the thug boss.

"Did you hear that?"

The thug boss nodded vigorously.

"I heard!"

Only then was Li Ruyi satisfied.

"Remember, as long as you insist that it was Patriarch Li who asked you to do it, then this matter has nothing to do with you."

"Of course, if you think it's okay to offend me, you can try it. However, when that time comes, I will... not let you go!"

The thug boss smiled awkwardly.

"We are just looking for money, we don't mean to make enemies, don't worry! We will never tell anyone about this."

Li Ruyi nodded indifferently, as if she didn't care at all.

She knew in her heart that this man was not a good person, but she also knew that he was just a knife and whoever held it in his hand could use it.

She had no intention of fully mastering the knife, but she didn't mind using it briefly.

There are only two ways for people to grow. One is to continuously raise the upper limit, and the other is to continuously refresh the lower limit. After all, only a few people can reach the extreme on a certain path, and most people are constantly widening the gap between the two.

Li Ruyi stood up. She didn’t know whether she had done the right thing or the wrong thing this time.

But there are too few paths left for her in this world, and she has to walk a little to find out the result.

She pulled out a ring-handled knife and cut the rope that bound the thug boss.

"Let's go!"

The leader of the thugs couldn't believe that Li Ruyi let them go so easily.

He quickly untied the ropes on their feet that were binding them together, and then quickly untied the rope on the man next to him. The man was in great pain, but he didn't dare to ask Li Ruyi for a piece of cloth. He could only endure it until the leader of the thugs woke everyone up, and then someone tore off his clothes to bandage the wound on his hand.

They pushed and shoved and hurried away, and Li Zhuzi was also carried away by them.

When they left, Li Ruyi watched them all the way as they took a long detour and ran as if they had seen a ghost.

Granny Ding stood behind her and watched, and when she could no longer see her figure, she asked her.

"Why didn't you hide then?"

She was talking about Li Zhuzi's not-so-clever sneak attack.

Li Ruyi was silent for a moment.

She was beaten to feel how much force the beater used.

Li Zhuzi gave up everything in an instant and completely severed the last trace of blood bond in Li Ruyi's heart.

Li Ruyi never thought of herself as a kind person before. Even though she had made the decision long ago, she never thought that she would back down when the time came.

However, perhaps she couldn't really become a beast like Li Zhuzi.

She still had a trace of softness in her heart towards the child who had harmed her a lot in her previous life and tried to sell her several times in this life.

If possible, she didn't want another person in this world to experience the suffering she had in her previous life.

Even if it was an enemy, she couldn't help but empathize with him.

Li Ruyi was scared!

She was afraid that this slight bit of softness would become a demon in her heart in the future.

So she persuaded herself in another way.

That person, the person who shared the same blood as her, had the choice of running away, asking for help, or leaving this place, but she still chose to stab her own sister with the butcher knife.

Li Ruyi suddenly felt relieved about her decision.

"Master, it is impossible for a person to live like an isolated island. I am made up of various bonds, and I am alive because of these bonds."

The shackles around her seemed to loosen a little.

She also doesn't know when she can get true freedom.

Granny Ding walked over to her and patted her injured arm.

Li Ruyi: …

She turned pale the moment she felt the pain.

But Granny Ding was very satisfied.

"That's stupid. It's not worth it for that kind of person."

Li Ruyi covered her arms and pursed her lips.

"I'm not doing this for him, I'm doing this for myself!"

Granny Ding chose to ignore her words, as usual, pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Li Ruyi sighed and went back into the house.

The third child was sitting on the kang in the room, and the eldest sister was still sleeping and had not woken up.

Seeing Li Ruyi coming back, the third sister crawled to the edge of the kang with tears in her eyes and stretched out her hands. Li Ruyi walked to her side with a familiar yet unfamiliar look and picked her up as she remembered.

The skinny little child was just a ball in her arms, but Li Ruyi felt like crying a little.

This is her blood relative, the sister she has always wanted to protect!
