Chapter 130 Zhang Aiguo? Zhang Aimin!
"Clap clap clap!!!"
There were no exaggerated explosions, only the sounds of broken wooden pillars and human targets falling.
"It's very useful."
Du Ruo ignored the things that were destroyed in the field, but watched the steel wire in his hand being retracted and then restored to the shape of an ordinary bracelet, with joy on his face.
The toughness may be reduced, but this does not affect Du Ruo's operation of it. Moreover, the thinner the steel wire, the greater the cutting performance, the better the operability, and the more flexible it becomes.
Moreover, Du Ruo had not actually used his full strength just now. He had a hunch that if he increased the attachment of the "qi", he might not need the final manual pull, and he should be able to directly cut off the wooden human-shaped target.
Du Ruo was delighted, but Chen Yanting on the side understood what was going on.
Du Ruo didn't buy this Panlong Silk just for display. He really wanted to use it. At the same time, he also understood why the previous Panlong Silk was broken by Du Ruo. Looking at the solid wood pillars in the field, although they were not very thick, they were strong and durable.
Their blacksmith shop has made so many weapons, but has not yet made a weapon that can cut off the weapon with one blow. Now it seems that this is not a problem with their forging level. As expected, when judging a weapon, one cannot just look at the person, but also the person who uses the weapon.
Today, Du Ruo can destroy it just by standing where he is. If a person stands in front, doesn't it mean that within a radius of ten meters, Du Ruo only needs to wave his arm to take someone's life?
"Master Du, as long as you are satisfied, then see if there is anything else that needs to be modified?"
Chen Yanting couldn't help but shudder when he thought of Du Ruo waving his arms and the scene of corpses everywhere around him, but he soon smiled again and looked at Du Ruo.
"No more, Master Chen. We won't bother you any more. Goodbye."
Du Ruo could tell that the other party's polite words were intended to drive him away. Since the things were very much to his liking, he simply decided not to stay any longer and directly said goodbye and left.
"Okay, I'll take you there. If you need anything next time, Master Du doesn't have to come here by himself. Just tell Xiaoqi."
Chen Yanting walked in front to lead the way for Du Ruo, but he did not intend to leave any contact information. He also did not say that he would refuse to make weapons for Du Ruo. He just did not want to have direct contact with Du Ruo.
"Grandpa, why don't you keep him for a while?"
The grandson stood behind Chen Yanting, somewhat puzzled. Even he could tell that Chen Yanting had no intention of keeping anyone. This was somewhat different from his usual impression of the warm and hospitable grandfather.
What's more, it was obvious at first glance that Du Ruo was no ordinary master. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to communicate with the other party to see if the other party was willing to teach him a few tricks.
"Hey, go talk to your father and ask him to take more orders for kitchen knives and those long swords sold online."
Chen Yanting waved his hand and did not answer his grandson's question. After giving some instructions, he turned and walked upstairs.
"Grandpa, please teach me martial arts tomorrow. It's been a long time since I last practiced martial arts with you."
The grandson looked at his grandfather's back and suddenly asked.
"Okay, but we won't practice the basics tomorrow. You can practice the White Crane Fist with me directly."
Chen Yanting paused, then said something with a sense of relief, but his back looked even more lonely. He had been trying to persuade his grandson for more than ten years, but his grandson was always reluctant to practice martial arts with him. He didn't expect that today, after only meeting Du Ruo once, he would take the initiative to learn martial arts from him.
But there was one thing he didn't plan to tell his grandson: "I also want to learn that kind of martial arts."
……
"Du Ruo, can you show it to me?"
Xiang Yuanyuan looked at Du Ruo eagerly. She did not sit in the front passenger seat, but came to the back seat and sat next to Du Ruo. Just now, when Du Ruo waved his arms, the silver-red light in front of her eyes made her stunned.
It seemed that every move of Du Ruo would amaze her. She would never ask such questions before, but now that she was familiar with Du Ruo, she could not suppress her curiosity.
"Here, take it and have a look, but be careful not to press the dragon head."
Du Ruo handed the bracelet to Xiang Yuanyuan with a smile, and at the same time carefully reminded her that this coil of dragon silk was a weapon after all. Even though Chen Yanting said that because the wire was too long, it could not eject the dragon tail like before and cause great damage.
But that doesn't mean it has no lethality, it's just that the force is reduced. Within a close range, the ejected dragon tail will still have great lethality.
"What would happen if you pressed it?"
It would have been better if Du Ruo didn't say anything. After she finished speaking, Xiang Yuanyuan started looking for the position of the dragon head. Of course, this was just a joke. She was not that kind of fool. She would still go and seek death even after Du Ruo reminded her.
"You can try it. Don't worry, I can't hurt you."
Du Ruo replied with a smile.
"Then I'll try."
Xiang Yuanyuan lowered her head and held the Panlong bracelet in both hands, looking for the position of the dragon head. After finding it, she glanced at Du Ruo, then spoke, pressing down with her fingers while speaking.
"Shu~"
After Xiang Yuanyuan pressed the button, she didn't see anything. She just felt a flash before her eyes, and a pair of fingers appeared in front of her, with the dragon tail of the coiled dragon silk sandwiched between their fingers.
"Wow, what speed are you at? I didn't even react."
Xiang Yuanyuan was not surprised that the dragon tail ejected from the Panlongsi was directed at her, but she was surprised by Du Ruo's speed.
Du Ruo was speechless about this. She loosened her fingers and let the dragon's tail fall. Then Du Ruo ignored her and let her play with it by herself.
"Where are we going?"
Du Ruo looked at the scenery receding outside the window and asked about Li Qiyao who was driving. Having obtained the Panlong silk, Du Ruo was in a good mood, but he saw fewer and fewer high-rise buildings outside the window, which made Du Ruo ask curiously.
"Yuanyuan insisted last night that she wanted to go to the orchard to pick pears. I thought it was still early today and on the way, so I went there. I didn't tell you, I hope you don't mind."
Li Qiyao was driving and looked at Du Ruo through the rearview mirror.
"Why should I mind? I just don't know what local specialties to bring back. Isn't this just right?"
Du Ruo smiled, then looked at Xiang Yuanyuan, or more precisely, at the Panlongsi in Xiang Yuanyuan's hand. "Okay, stop looking at it. I'll give it back to you. You have to help us pick more snow pears later. I'll go back and make fruit wine. It will definitely taste good."
Xiang Yuanyuan saw that Du Ruo was staring at the Panlongsi in her hand. Since she didn't understand how to play it anyway, she simply returned the Panlongsi to Du Ruo, and then started talking about soaking pears in wine. From the look of her, it seemed that she had already thought of the taste of the pear wine and was swallowing her saliva.
“You can’t eat now…”
Du Ruo put the Panlong silk on his hand and muttered something.
"I used rice wine, a low-alcohol fruit wine, to make it, and drank it half a year later!!!"
Xiang Yuanyuan gave Du Ruo a cold look, looking like an angry child.
……
The vehicle drove farther and farther away. The surrounding houses changed from tall to low, and vegetable fields and rice fields gradually appeared on the side. Until it was completely far away from the city, Li Qiyao drove the car to a low flat building on the hillside of a mountain and stopped the car.
"We're here. I've been here before to collect folk songs. The scenery is beautiful, and the pears in the orchard are the signature of this place. They are very juicy. The orchard owners here are especially nice."
Li Qiyao got out of the car, shrugged her shoulders and took a deep breath, her eyes narrowed into crescents, and she seemed to be in a particularly good mood.
"Is this the only family living here?"
Xiang Yuanyuan got out of the car, looked around, and asked curiously.
"No, there are some farmers on the side and at the foot of the mountain. The orchard here is quite big and we need people to help take care of it. The orchard is just to the side and it's very beautiful there."
Li Qiyao explained with a smile and introduced the surrounding environment to Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan.
"Qiqi is here~ Is this your friend? Come in and sit down, grandma will get you some fruit."
While Li Qiyao was introducing the people, a person came out of the house. She was a grandmother in her sixties. She smiled when she saw Li Qiyao and invited the three of them to come in and sit down.
"Mother-in-law, I brought some friends here to buy some fruit. I won't go in and sit down yet. Where's Grandpa?"
Li Qiyao took out some milk from the car and handed it to her mother-in-law.
"Glad you're here, and you brought some food with you. The old man is in the orchard, so go pick some for yourselves, and have dinner at home later. Grandma will kill a chicken for you."
The mother-in-law smiled very kindly, especially when she saw a smile on Li Qiyao's face.
"Okay, let's go over there first."
After saying this, Li Qiyao took Xiang Yuanyuan and Du Ruo and walked towards the orchard.
"My grandfather and grandmother's son works in the city. Usually the old couple manages the orchard. When I was in a bad mood, I would come and stay for half a day."
Li Qiyao was walking in front. It was a small path with three obvious wheel marks. It was obvious at a glance that they were traces of electric tricycles that often passed by.
Du Ruo just listened quietly and knew why Li Qiyao was in a bad mood.
"Yeah, those are all things of the past. Didn't you see how happy grandma was to see your smile just now?"
Xiang Yuanyuan walked over and stood shoulder to shoulder with Li Qiyao, comforting her softly and then talking in a low voice.
"Well, here we are, Grandpa. I'm here to pick snow pears."
The three of them walked for about ten minutes and passed a few vegetable fields. Li Qiyao stopped and saw an orchard in front of them. There were large pear trees with fruits hanging on them.
There was an electric tricycle nearby, with three people sitting on it: two elderly people and a child. Li Qiyao trotted over and greeted one of them.
Du Ruo followed behind Li Qiyao, but his eyes did not stay on the old man whom Li Qiyao greeted, but walked towards an old man next to the old man.
"Master Zhang, I didn't expect to see you here. I hope you are well."
Du Ruo spoke first, with a smile in his tone. He didn't expect that he would meet an acquaintance here in such a huge crowd of people.
In fact, they were not acquaintances, because this person was Zhang Aiguo, whom Du Ruo had met several times and had been to the Philippines together. Du Ruo still remembered that the other party practiced the "Xinyi Ba".
"Ai Min, do you know this young man? Qi Qi, this is your friend. Come, here is the basket, pick whatever you want. Dong Dong, take your sister to pick pears."
The old man who was about to start the electric tricycle looked at the old man smoking in the bed and asked a question. Then he asked the ten-year-old boy in the car to take the basket and go pick pears with Li Qiyao.
"Uh, haha, let's get to know each other."
Zhang Aiguo, no, it should be Zhang Aimin. The moment Du Ruo opened his mouth, Zhang Aimin subconsciously grabbed the hoe at his feet, but let go immediately. Hearing the old man's question, he smiled awkwardly and nodded, but his face was not very good.
Obviously he didn't expect to meet Du Ruo here.
"Well, Aimin, you can take them around too. I'll go back and help the old woman kill the chickens. We can have a drink at noon."
The old man was sitting in the driver's seat and didn't notice that Zhang Aimin looked strange. He just thought the two were acquaintances and didn't think much about it. He put Zhang Aimin and his grandson Dongdong down and started to reverse the car to go back.
"Attention! Reverse! Attention! Reverse!!!"
The old man didn't notice the expressions of the others. He backed the car and drove away.
Only Li Qiyao and Xiang Yuanyuan at the scene noticed that there seemed to be more than just acquaintance between Du Ruo and the old man Zhang Aimin.
"Dongdong, which trees have the most delicious pears? Take your sister to pick them. Boss Du, you guys chat while we go pick the fruits first."
Li Qiyao lowered her head and said something to the little boy, then she and Xiang Yuanyuan took Dongdong into the orchard, leaving space for the two of them.
