Good luck every time

The third aunt finally took the fish back home, but Li Zhuzi still did not come back.

After Li Ruyi returned, although she was calm inside, the smile on her face was completely gone.

She explained how to feed the sheep, and then found some wood to build a simple shed in the yard, and laid thatch to keep out the rain and sun.

When the work was done, it was dark.

Running, eating, sleeping...

The next morning, after running and eating, Li Ruyi went to the river to see if there were any fish.

Seeing that there were three fish in the basket that were not even as big as a palm, she moved the fish basket to another place, took the fish home to her eldest sister, and then went to her third aunt's house to look for someone.

In just one night, blisters appeared on San Gu's mouth. When she saw Li Ruyi coming towards her, she smiled very reluctantly.

"Ruyi, Zhuzi hasn't come back yet. I went to ask in the morning, but Shuanzi hasn't come back either!"

Li Ruyi agreed somewhat embarrassedly.

"Oh! I understand!"

After the Third Aunt finished speaking, she wanted to get her something, but just as she was about to go to the vegetable garden, she heard a burst of scolding and quarreling in the house.

Li Ruyi heard it clearly. It was her third uncle beating the child in the house.

"Xiao Ni, you are so old, but you don't even know how to supervise the things at home! You let people take everything they want when they come? Huh? All this was earned by your father, you know how to do favors!"

The third aunt's face turned pale and blue, and she clenched her fists.

Li Ruyi's smile became much more sincere.

"Then I'll go back first. I haven't told my sister about this yet, and I can't be out for too long."

The third aunt was very embarrassed and walked her two steps forward. When the person disappeared, her face darkened. Soon, the sound of a couple fighting came from the room.

Li Ruyi felt a little uncomfortable and felt very sorry for her third aunt.

After all, whether it is her or Li Zhuzi, it actually has nothing to do with others, but they have to play the whole role.

She didn't have the time to take revenge on Patriarch Li in her previous life, so it would be fine if she didn't offend her in this life, but since Patriarch Li has come to her, she will definitely not let him go!

When she returned home, her eldest sister didn't know about this and was tidying the sheepfold.

She cut a lot of wild grass from the roadside, threw some of it into the sheep pen to feed the sheep, and spread the rest in the yard to dry.

Now there are a lot of things hanging out to dry in the huge yard, including various herbs, firewood picked up by Li Ruyi, washed clothes, and now weeds.

The previously desolate front yard now looks full of life.

The cabbage in the backyard has also sprouted, and it looks green everywhere.

When Granny Ding saw her coming back, she wanted to go up the mountain again.

"Master, do you need a lot of this medicine? If it's too much, we can go buy some."

Li Ruyi looked at the medicines and found that many of them were worthless. Only a few were expensive, but not unaffordable.

Moreover, these medicines are very common and can always be bought if you want them.

"These medicines are used in large quantities, so just save them up. After two years, you will have enough for you to use."

Li Ruyi originally had no idea about the large amount required, but when he heard that it would take two years to save up, his eyes almost popped out of his head.

"We? Do we need to use so many?"

Granny Ding sighed.

"Of course you have to use it! You will know later!"

After thinking for a while, she added another sentence.

"If you make a lot of money, you can do it earlier, so I can save some money."

Li Ruyi felt a lot of pressure in an instant.

It seems that making big money is imminent.

When she thought about making money to buy medicine, she couldn't help but remember that Grandma Ding died three years later!

After Li Ruyi's eldest sister got married, life became very difficult for her. After barely delivering meals for a year, she could no longer deliver meals to Grandma Ding.

But she was still concerned about the other person's health and would come to check on him every ten days or half a month.

Some memories are too old. She was young and inexperienced at the time, so she didn't pay much attention to the cause of Grandma Ding's death.

But now thinking about it, it seemed that Granny Ding never showed any signs of illness before her death.

She still hunts on her own and even occasionally exchanges some food with villagers.

Recalling the past when she buried Grandma Ding, she only vaguely remembered that at that time Grandma Ding changed her clothes by herself and lay in the grass pavilion like that. She seemed very peaceful, but her body was stiff.

She cried for a while, but did not check the body. She just found some change and bought a coffin to bury Grandma Ding according to the place Grandma Ding had told her before.

But now thinking about it, this process seems to be weird everywhere.

Li Ruyi's heart suddenly sank and a thought came to his mind.

Is there some other hidden secret?

This realization made her feel like she was falling into an icy cave.

She suddenly realized that some things might not wait for her to take the initiative.

Those past grudges may come back to them sooner rather than later.

At this moment, Li Ruyi's obsession with making money became even stronger!

She must be fully prepared.

Watching Granny Ding taking the third child up the mountain, Li Ruyi was really worried this time.

Her anxious state forced her eldest sister to put down her work and come over to ask her.

But Li Ruyi was worried but couldn't say it. He frowned and wondered how he could make a lot of money.

At least I have to earn enough money to support myself and my third brother in practicing martial arts.

They are all poor in literature and rich in martial arts. In Li Ruyi's opinion, studying is already very expensive, but practicing martial arts is even more expensive than studying, which shows how huge the cost is.

I'm afraid that less coming and less going will not be enough.

Li Ruyi thought about it for a whole day. While weaving a small basket in the wooden box he designed for himself with willow branches, he thought that he should first ask his master what the value of practicing martial arts is.

She had never practiced in her previous life, so she was not mentally prepared.

This time, Granny Ding came back on time, and in addition to the herbs she also brought back a pheasant.

Li Ruyi waited until she came back from running and had her meal before running over to ask Grandma Ding.

"Master, if Xiaoman and I want to make progress in martial arts, how much money should we prepare?"

Granny Ding noticed that Li Ruyi was worried while they were having dinner, but she never thought it was because of this matter.

"Practicing martial arts is about training the body. There are many ways to train the body. In addition to having enough food, different sects have different ways of training the body."

"For example, in our sect, why do we combine medicine and martial arts? Because the way to cultivate the body is that in addition to practicing martial arts and studying mental skills, we also need to use medicinal baths to assist and dredge the meridians."

"Master, I have seen many sects in the martial arts world, and I have also seen many martial arts that train the body. For example, one sect's poisonous snake palm requires soaking the palms with the venom of more than a hundred poisonous snakes, so that the palms can be trained to have snake venom."

Li Ruyi was shocked. As someone who was locked up in the backyard, she had never heard of such a thing and was a little confused.

"Won't the warrior himself be poisoned?"

Granny Ding shook her head.

"This is their secret body-refining technique, which also requires the use of many precious medicinal herbs."

"The medicinal materials needed by this sect are collected with the efforts of the entire sect."

"It may take three to five years, ten to eight years, or even more than twenty years. As long as we meet a martial artist with outstanding talent, the medicinal materials will be consumed like water, and we will definitely devote all our efforts to cultivate a martial arts expert."

"Not only can this person deter villains, but as a face of the sect, he can also help the sect prosper for a few more years."

After hearing this, Li Ruyi immediately understood.

Some medicinal herbs are not available just because you want them; you have to come across them.

"I understand, Master. The herbs you prepared are for Xiaoman and me to take a medicinal bath, right?"

Granny Ding sat up from her bed and nodded.

"That's right. It's a bit late for you to practice martial arts now. I know a few recipes for medicinal baths that are very suitable for you, but I don't have enough medicinal materials right now."

Li Ruyi sighed and asked some questions related to martial arts training, such as when they could start training and what preparations they should make to achieve twice the result with half the effort...

Granny Ding is very patient when it comes to martial arts training, and she would answer some of Li Ruyi's common sense questions.

The master and disciple chatted for a long time before Li Ruyi went back to sleep.

She lay on the kang, tossing and turning thinking about these things, with a fire in her heart.

The eldest sister was woken up by her and reached out to pat her in a daze.

"Why can't you sleep? Sister pats you... Go to sleep obediently, you have to get up early tomorrow morning."

After saying that, she hummed a tuneless song to Li Ruyi while she was half asleep and half awake.

Li Ruyi felt the little girl's hand gently patting her arm in some mysterious rhythm.

My originally restless heart slowly calmed down.

No matter what, she had to deal with Patriarch Li first before she could talk about making money, otherwise she would not be able to feel at ease with her eldest sister and the third sister at home.

Li Ruyi figured this out, let out a breath, and quickly fell asleep.
