Good luck every time

The next morning, the third brother was still sleeping behind Li Ruyi.

Granny Ding came over and woke up the three sisters.

The eldest sister rubbed her neck with a painful expression.

"I had a stiff neck last night."

She pressed her neck and tried to shake her head, but she became uncontrollably dizzy and Li Ruyi held her back.

"You didn't get enough rest, did you? Don't get up today. Just wait for me to come back and cook."

Anyway, they would run around the yard and come back when they heard any noise, so the eldest sister would not be in danger.

The eldest sister felt her neck hurt so much that she struggled for a while and then lay down again.

"Well!"

Li Ruyi touched the back of her neck, a little worried that she might have some sequelae from the beating.

Granny Ding seemed to know what she was worried about and spoke.

"Go and open the box on my kang."

Li Ruyi has lived here for several days, but has never seen Grandma Ding open the box.

Since the master had spoken, she quickly stood up and went to the innermost part of the kang, opened the lid of the box, and inside were some thick quilts and thick cotton-padded clothes, with a neatly bundled indigo cloth bag on top.

"Take out that blue cloth bag."

Li Ruyi agreed.

"Oh!"

As she spoke, she took out the cloth bag. The bag was neither big nor small, a bit like a schoolbag, but when she held it in her hand, she felt something pressing on her hand. She didn't know what it was, so she walked back to the edge of the kang with it.

"Open it!"

Li Ruyi obediently opened the cloth bag.

Li Ruyi was a little surprised when the cloth bag fell open.

There are many gold and silver needles of different sizes, as well as three-edged needles of varying thickness, length, and length, and bundled plum blossom needles and seven-star needles...

In addition to these, there are several Bian stones with slightly different shapes.

Granny Ding gave instructions to Li Ruyi.

"Go and light the lamp."

The third brother was confused. He looked at the sky which was about to get bright, and thought that there was no need to light a lamp at this time.

However, seeing that her second sister had no doubts, she stood aside in silence.

While Li Ruyi went to light the lamp, Granny Ding reached out to touch the bag of needles. She first determined the position of a wooden buckle in the corner, then quickly ran her fingers over the row of needles and soon found a three-edged needle.

Li Ruyi brought the lamp over, and Granny Ding placed the triangular needle on the flickering flame to burn it, then held the needle and pressed down Li Jixiang's head.

The eldest sister didn’t quite understand what was going on. She felt that Grandma Ding’s hands were like an old pair of pliers, and it hurt wherever she pressed.

She couldn't help but groan.

Granny Ding's rough fingers stroked over and quickly determined the acupuncture point. She inserted the three-edged needle, but the insertion was not deep, as if it was just passing over Li Jixiang's skin.

Blood soon oozed out of the needle hole.

Li Ruyi handed over the handkerchief, and Granny Ding wiped the needle clean and gave her seat to Li Ruyi.

She couldn't see the blood beads, and she wasn't sure if she could wipe someone's face clean, so she didn't want to cause herself trouble.

Granny Ding put the three-edged needle back in, and Li Ruyi wiped off the blood from her elder sister.

Because the puncture was not deep, there was no further bleeding after wiping off the blood.

She patted her eldest sister on the head.

"Have a good sleep, and you'll be fine when you wake up."

The eldest sister took a deep breath and felt her dizziness relieved a lot. She nodded and fell asleep quickly.

Li Ruyi helped Grandma Ding put the blue cloth bag back to its place and took the third child out for a run.

Li Ruyi has already settled last night's incident in her mind. After what happened last night, those thugs will not dare to provoke her in the short term.

As long as she deals with the issue with Patriarch Li, she will have no worries in the short term!

However, we really have to wait for the right time to deal with Patriarch Li.

Li Ruyi was not in a hurry. She was still in a relaxed mood from last night. When she came back from running, her elder sister had already taken a nap. She was in much better condition, which was even faster than the recovery from stiff neck.

Li Ruyi prepared the meal quickly. When the four of them were eating, Li Ruyi remembered that the herbs that Granny Ding had picked had already been processed. She wondered if they were enough, so she asked Granny Ding.

"Master, are you still going up the mountain today?"

Granny Ding nodded.

"Ok!"

Li Ruyi and the third brother are both a little too old for martial arts training, so she needs to find some herbs to assist them.

Now the two children are still exercising. They haven’t started practicing martial arts yet, so their bodies can still handle it.

However, once you start practicing martial arts, all kinds of disadvantages of this kind of physical fitness will become apparent.

She didn't have much time left, and she was worried that she hadn't taught everything she needed to teach, but she was also afraid that rushing things would backfire.

Granny Ding didn't want to train two killing machines. She hoped that Li Ruyi and the third brother could go far in martial arts, so laying a solid foundation became particularly important.

After knowing this, Li Ruyi did not put forward any conditions. Grandma Ding went up the mountain without her eldest sister. Maybe it was not only because her eldest sister was unwilling to cooperate, but also because Grandma Ding was unable to take care of two people alone.

If her eyes were normal, these wouldn't be a problem, but she was blind and her martial arts skills were greatly reduced. She brought the third brother along because he was young and he could exercise her physical fitness. It wouldn't take much effort to carry him when she got tired, and he could also help her see the situation.

But Li Jixiang obviously couldn't do that.

Li Ruyi had no choice but to say.

"Then Master, don't rush up the mountain. I'll go to the river first to see if there are any fish. You can go again after I come back."

Granny Ding agreed without any hesitation.

"what ever!"

Li Ruyi laughed, finished his meal and ran out.

She caught a big fish where she put the fish basket, which made her very happy and she ran home happily.

As soon as I came back, I saw Grandma Ding instructing my eldest sister and the third sister how to tie their leggings more conveniently and quickly.

The two little girls were tying and untying their hair, and they also supervised each other and learned from each other. They were surprisingly happy.

Li Ruyi ran all the way back, and when he was outside the fence, he held up the big fish tied with a straw rope to show them.

"Master and elder sister Xiaoman, look at the fish I caught today!"

This fish was very tenacious and its sudden change of posture made Li Ruyi extremely unhappy. If Li Ruyi had not dodged quickly, its fatal slap would have hit Li Ruyi in the face!

This is a grass carp. It is not very heavy, but it is very long, fierce and flexible.

When the eldest sister saw her hiding from the fish, she couldn't help laughing and quickly went to the kitchen to bring out a basin.

The grass carp was thrown into the basin but still refused to calm down. It was only when Li Ruyi took out a hatchet and hit it that it calmed down briefly.

When Grandma Ding saw Li Ruyi coming back, she didn't waste any more time and took the third child up the mountain.

Li Ruyi handed over the tedious task of cleaning the fish to her elder sister who would get anxious when she had nothing to do, while she continued to do her own work.

She tied up the newly acquired fish maws with straw ropes to air-dry to prevent them from spoiling. She also took out the previously dried boards and brushed them with oil twice.

However, after finishing the second coat of oil, she was free again.

She needs more fish maw, but she is still quite far from her goal.

Because the master and the third brother went up the mountain, the two sisters just had a quick bite at noon.

My eldest sister has already picked out the fish bones and started making fish paste in the afternoon.

Li Ruyi walked around, chopped the firewood, and filled the water tank. There was really nothing to do, so she remembered that she should go read a book.
