Chapter 134 Someone is watching
After Du Ruo raised his head and roared like a tiger, before he had time to sigh, he unexpectedly saw a black dot falling from the sky at a very fast speed.
"Ok?"
In the blink of an eye, the black spot in the sky grew bigger and bigger. Almost subconsciously, Du Ruo stretched out his hand and grabbed the little guy who was falling at a very fast speed in his hand.
"..."
Du Ruo looked at the little guy in his hand. It was the size of a fist, with its little paws stretched straight and its head drooping. Du Ruo felt that it looked somewhat familiar.
"kek~"
The red kestrel opened its big eyes wide and looked at Du Ruo. Its little paws trembled twice and it made a familiar sound from its mouth. It looked silly and cute.
"You stupid bird?"
Du Ruo almost subconsciously looked up again. The height that the red kestrel had just flown was at least nearly a hundred meters, otherwise Du Ruo would not have failed to notice it. Du Ruo really didn't expect that his tiger roar just now would be effective at a distance of a hundred meters and could shock the red kestrel down.
The kestrel seemed to have recovered at this time. It fluttered twice while eating, and its body was no longer stiff. After fluttering twice, it did not fly away, but just stood on Du Ruo's palm, then tilted its head to look at Du Ruo.
That little expression seemed to be asking: "Who am I? Where am I? Did you bump into me just now?"
"Can you fly? If you can, get out of here right away. Don't try to scam me. At most I'll bring you some beef next time."
Du Ruo moved his hands twice and muttered to himself. Fortunately, the stupid bird was far away. If it was closer, Du Ruo would probably have roared its brains out.
"kek~kek~~"
The kestrel jumped twice in Du Ruo's hand, then flapped its wings and flew forward.
Seeing the red kestrel flying away, Du Ruo subconsciously glanced around and found that no other small animals were harmed. He then breathed a sigh of relief and decided not to continue roaring.
This tiger roar is useful, but it is quite lethal, and Du Ruo has just mastered it, so it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe. It is a direct area attack, so it must be used with caution. Besides, the sound drives the gods away, and they will be frightened when they hear the sound, so it is difficult to defend against and distinguish it.
Fortunately, this place is a few kilometers away from the scenic spot, so Du Ruo doesn't have to worry about being discovered. Otherwise, Du Ruo would probably make the headlines tomorrow. After all, wild tigers have not been discovered in Huangshan for a long time than wild clouded leopards.
Of course, if someone were photographed standing on the top of a mountain, the impact would probably be no less.
Du Ruo simply did not stay there. The mountain wind was quite strong while he was standing there. Du Ruo looked around and decided to return the same way.
The process of going back was not easy, especially with such a steep stone wall, it would be more appropriate to say it was a cliff.
However, Du Ruo's arms and fingers were incredibly strong. With his feet completely suspended in the air, he relied on his hands to climb down from the cliff to the stone wall above the red falcon.
Du Ruo went to the kestrel's nest and found that the kestrel had fallen asleep in the nest. It seemed that the roar just now should have some effect on the kestrel. Du Ruo thought about it, hit a few stone frogs with pebbles, caught a few small insects, and placed them next to the kestrel's nest before continuing down.
Without playing with the clouded leopard any longer, Du Ruo went straight down the mountain.
"Hey!! You... your name is Du Ruo, right? Chen Guang's classmate? You're going up the mountain today too. Let's eat mushrooms together later."
Du Ruo was running down the mountain. Below was the tea garden of Yang Guang's family, so Du Ruo just kept running normally. As she was running, a voice stopped her.
"Um, Uncle Yang, you are picking mushrooms again. I won't eat them. You can eat them by yourself. By the way, Chen Guang is not with you."
Du Ruo turned around and saw Yang Chenguang's uncle sitting under a pine tree with a basket beside him. She greeted him with a smile and looked around.
"That guy is under the control of his wife and doesn't dare to come. Really, I have been picking mushrooms for so many years and nothing has happened. The last time was just an accident. It must be poisonous mushrooms that Chen Guang picked. Do you want to take some back to eat?"
Yang Chenguang's uncle took out the kettle and took a sip, then continued to enthusiastically share the mushrooms with Du Ruo.
"No, no, I'm going back first, Uncle Yang, you continue."
Du Ruo shook his head like a rattle, not daring to believe the other party, and continued to walk quickly down the mountain.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Du Ruo didn't even have time to wash up, and he called Yang Chenguang immediately.
"Hey, Du Ruo, what's going on?"
Yang Chenguang on the other end of the phone sounded lazy, and it seemed that he might have just woken up.
"I just came down from the mountain and saw your uncle picking mushrooms. Be careful, don't get poisoned without knowing it."
Du Ruo explained what had just happened.
"Oh, okay, I see. I'll go over and take a look later."
Yang Chenguang suddenly became alert.
After hanging up the phone, Du Ruo didn't care about it anymore. He went to the bedroom, washed up, and started preparing something to eat.
"Knock knock knock~ Excuse me, is this Master Du Ruo's house?" Du Ruo was eating breakfast in the living room when a knock on the door sounded familiar. Du Ruo thought the sound was familiar and looked outside quickly.
"Hey, Director Shi, what a rare guest! Come in quickly. Who is this?"
Du Ruo walked out of the living room and saw Shi Dong standing outside the yard. He hurried forward to greet him and also looked at the middle-aged man next to him.
Shi Dong came with a middle-aged man, who looked to be in his forties. He was smiling and seemed to be a pretty peaceful person.
Both of them had some fruits in their hands, and they handed them to Du Ruo when they saw her.
"Haha, this is Yang Huaming, an online friend I've known for a long time, and he's also a martial arts enthusiast. We've never had the chance to meet before, but when we were chatting online a few days ago, I mentioned Master Du to him, so I decided to take this opportunity to get together."
Shi Dong introduced them, and then the two of them walked into the room together.
"Master Du, this place is great, with beautiful mountains and water, and it's peaceful. There's even a yard that I can decorate myself."
Yang Huaming spoke with a smile, looking curiously at some of the arrangements in the yard, and seemed a little envious as he spoke.
This is actually the advantage of living in the countryside. The environment is good and more suitable for practicing martial arts. And unlike in the city, you can't stretch your body even if you want to move.
Not to mention that the floors in cities are very thin nowadays and the sound insulation is actually very poor. If Du Ruo practices Bajiquan in a high-rise building, he suspects that he will be complained to the point of doubting his life.
"It's just the good thing about the countryside. Come in and sit down. I just happened to bring back some Longjing tea from Zhejiang yesterday. Let's try it. Hmm?"
Du Ruo led the two of them towards the room, but when they were about to enter the house, he felt like he was being watched. Du Ruo turned his head suddenly and looked in the direction he felt.
Looking at the window of a two-story building two hundred meters away, as Du Ruo turned his head, the person behind the window seemed to be startled and suddenly pulled the curtains.
Du Ruo took a quick look and remembered the window. He knew that the two-story building was a guest room of another homestay in the village.
"what happened?"
Shi Dong saw that Du Ruo, who was walking just fine, suddenly had such a big reaction and even stopped walking. He couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"It's okay. Someone must have been spying on us just now. But it's not a big deal. Come on, let's go into the house."
Du Ruo smiled and walked into the house with Shi Dong and Yang Huaming.
"Master Du is so perceptive. He can sense someone spying on him even from such a long distance."
Yang Huaming also withdrew his gaze and said something to Du Ruo jokingly, with some doubt in his tone.
"It might be an illusion. It's okay. Let's have tea."
Du Ruo did not explain much. His five senses were sharp, but not to an inhuman degree. The person who was looking at him just now had some malice in him, which made him notice it. However, Du Ruo could feel that although that gaze was malicious, it did not make him feel uneasy. He guessed that the other party was not a master or a killer.
When he was in the Philippines, Du Ruo had sensed the murderous aura of the strong men and knew what that felt like.
Of course, a normal sight would not cause him to react so strongly. For example, today on the mountain, Yang Chenguang’s uncle spoke first, and Du Ruo then noticed it.
Du Ruo brought the two of them to the living room and started to make tea, but first he picked up his phone and sent a message to Yang Chenguang, asking him to find another B&B owner to ask if there were any special people staying there in the past two days.
"Speaking of which, Hua Ming and I have known each other for nearly twenty years. If I hadn't told him about Master Du, we might not have planned to meet."
Shi Dong drank tea and talked to Du Ruo about some things between him and Yang Huaming.
Shi Dong practiced spear, while Yang Huaming practiced sword. The two met at a domestic forum almost twenty years ago.
But at that time, we were both attending college in different places, so we had no chance to meet each other. We just simply kept in touch online. Until later, one of us returned to his hometown to work, and the other was hired by the hospital. By chance, we were in the same city.
It’s just that Yang Huaming is in the city and Shi Dong is in the town, and because they are both very busy, they have no chance to get together, but they have always kept in touch online.
So, taking advantage of this opportunity to talk about Du Ruo, the two decided to get together.
"It's really rare. But Lao Shi, we have been arguing about whether your spear is more powerful or my sword is more powerful. How about we settle the issue today?"
Yang Huaming also looked at Shi Dong with a smile. The two of them first met on the Internet and were actually discussing which was better, the spear or the sword. However, they went from being confrontational in the beginning to admiring each other later. Of course, the initial problem was still not solved. It was a rare opportunity for them to meet each other today, so it seemed that they had to decide the winner.
"Okay, Master Du is just the referee for us. Master Du, can I borrow your treasure land and those weapons for a while?"
Shi Dong obviously had the same idea. Upon hearing this, he quickly put down his teacup and asked Du Ruo.
"Okay, let's go to the yard. The weapons in my yard are all unopened. You can choose yourselves."
Naturally, there was nothing wrong with Du Ruo. The purpose of the three of them meeting was to make friends through martial arts. It would be somewhat awkward if they didn't talk about martial arts.
