Good luck every time

The two of them soon reached the foot of the mountain.

Li Ruyi was more familiar with the mountain path and walked in front, with her elder sister following closely behind her.

The flying insects in the mountains all rushed towards the torches and burned into ashes with a strange aroma.

The two men walked up the mountain in silence, each rehearsing their own worries in their hearts.

It was not until he walked more than a mile away that Li Ruyi heard the voice of the third brother.

"Big sister and second sister! We are here!"

Li Ruyi was startled and thought she was hallucinating. She looked in the direction where the sound came from, but it was pitch black over there and she could not see anything.

Instead, the third brother looked at their torches, and Granny Ding listened to their footsteps, so they were able to better determine their location.

Li Ruyi stopped where he was and called for help.

"Xiao Man? Master?"

The eldest sister also shouted along.

"Xiaoman, Granny Ding?"

The third child pulled Grandma Ding's hand and agreed again.

"I'm here! Second sister, just walk up the mountain path!"

This time Li Ruyi confirmed the situation and hurried up the mountain path.

The eldest sister also hurried up the mountain, and she was even faster.

The two quickly found the third brother and Grandma Ding.

Their backpacks were filled with many herbs.

In addition, Grandma Ding was carrying a wild goat, and the third child was carrying two wild rabbits.

Li Ruyi: …

She hurried over to take the wild goat.

This wild goat must have weighed about 40 to 50 kilograms, and it pressed Li Ruyi's waist so hard that it bent. No wonder the two of them went down the mountain so slowly.

Granny Ding couldn't see to begin with, and with such a burden dragging along with her, it would be strange if she could get down quickly!

The goat was still alive. Li Ruyi took it over and it kicked around, almost throwing goat droppings on Li Ruyi's face. Fortunately, her eldest sister helped to hold it down. She carried the goat on her shoulders like carrying food.

Li Ruyi took the backpack and the wild rabbit from the third child, gave the torch to the third child, and asked her to help the master go down the mountain.

The third brother suddenly felt relaxed and in a much better mood.

She was scared to death all the way down the mountain!

The journey down the mountain, which was supposed to take two hours, took three hours. She was so tired that she didn't even want to talk.

The four returned home.

Li Ruyi didn't even have time to eat. She sharpened her knife while it was getting dark and prepared to kill the sheep. However, before she could do anything, she was stopped by Granny Ding!

"What do you want to do?"

Granny Ding's voice was the same as always, and you couldn't tell how tired she was.

Li Ruyi realized that something might be wrong and asked.

“Shouldn’t we kill this sheep?”

Grandma Ding was also speechless.

"This is a pregnant ewe. I caught it alive and brought it back to raise!"

Li Ruyi: …

"Raising sheep? Isn't it difficult to raise sheep here?"

When winter comes, the grass outside will be frozen to death, and it will not be easy for them to find food for the sheep!

Granny Ding was very calm.

"This is your sisters' job, I won't interfere! However, you have to keep this ewe for at least a year. Goat milk is more nourishing. Your foundation is too weak, you should replenish it."

Li Ruyi froze in place with the knife in his hand.

She was somewhat touched.

"Master..."

Granny Ding didn't buy it and patted her belly.

"I'm starving! Let's eat! After dinner, kill the rabbit, and then run for an hour. Xiaoman is exhausted today, so there's no need to run!"

Li Ruyi: …

Before her tears of emotion could come out, she held them back.

She pouted and watched Grandma Ding go to the kitchen, take the wet towel handed to her by her eldest sister, wipe her hands, face and neck, then sit down at the dining table and start eating.

Li Ruyi had to put aside the little touch in her heart for the time being, and ran over happily to eat with them!

After the meal, the eldest sister helped the third child take a bath. Li Ruyi found a wooden stake and nailed it in the yard. She untied the straw rope that tied the goat and tied the goat to the stake. Since Granny Ding was watching over it, she was not afraid that the goat would run away.

After she finished nailing the wooden stakes, her elder sister came out to pour water. She looked around and didn't see Granny Ding, so she asked Li Ruyi.

"Where's my mother-in-law?"

Li Ruyi pointed behind him with his chin.

"I went to the creek and will be back soon."

Sure enough, just as Li Ruyi and her elder sister finished killing a rabbit, Granny Ding came back from outside, covered in damp sweat.

After the second rabbit was killed, the eldest sister processed the internal organs, and Li Ruyi was taken out by her for a run.

It is also said that body building is like rowing against the current, and you can’t miss a single step!

Li Ruyi ran around in circles in the night and could not go back to sleep until he had run for an hour.

By the time she washed up and went to bed, the third child was already snoring!

The eldest sister covered her belly, as it was still a little cold at night when the mountain breeze blew.

The two sisters also lay down tiredly. They both yawned, turned over and fell asleep.

Before falling asleep, Li Ruyi always felt that she had forgotten to say something.

It was not until she got up the next day, ran, came back and had dinner that she remembered what she had forgotten to say!

"Xiaoman! Second sister wants to tell you something!"

The third child was squatting beside Grandma Ding, handling the herbs in an unfamiliar manner according to Grandma Ding's instructions.

None of these herbs are particularly valuable. Granny Ding is blind, and she has no way of finding any traces of other herbs from the third brother's retelling. She can only dig up whatever she comes across.

Li Ruyi knew some ways to deal with the situation, so she squatted beside the third sister and stayed with her.

While dealing with it, I talked to her about studying.

"Brother Han lent me some enlightenment books. My sister and I plan to take some time out every day to learn to read. I also plan to let you learn with us."

Li Ruyi thought literacy was a big deal, and she had to learn it regardless of whether the third child was willing or not.

However, the third child is not a willful child. She has always listened to whatever Li Ruyi says and nodded obediently since she was a child.

"Okay, okay!"

Li Ruyi agreed on a time with her.

"I think it would be best if we could learn to read after dinner. If we learn a few words a day, in a year, we will be able to read books by ourselves."

The third brother smiled instantly.

With Li Ruyi's help, Grandma Ding was able to process the medicinal materials much faster. She would wait until her eldest sister finished her work in the kitchen and then join in the process.

They would be left where they were needed, and those that were not needed and were not poisonous would be thrown to the sheep after she asked Granny Ding.

The sheep had also been hungry for a while and would eat anything anyone gave it.

Seeing that it had a good appetite, Li Ruyi discussed the matter of cutting grass with her elder sister. Li Ruyi thought about who in the village had raised sheep and asked what kind of grass they ate. When the time came, the two of them would cut more and dry them, and feed them with hay in the winter.

Maybe this question is really difficult, my elder sister didn’t even know the answer.

Li Ruyi didn't care. He wiped his hands, cut half a rabbit and went to find the head of the village.
