Chapter 153 Destination: Heilongjiang-Xiaoxing'anling
"Is there any danger? Can...can I contact you?"
Xiang Yuanyuan was silent for a while before she spoke. She didn't want to ask if he could take her with him. Du Ruo had told her before that he was going out for a while and it would not be convenient to take her with him, so she didn't want to force Du Ruo. She was just a little worried about her safety, so she asked if he could contact her.
She is not stupid. When Du Ruo gave her the bank card, he told her that it was the reward for helping someone handle some matters. No matter how easy it was, Du Ruo could not hide the fact that she received a huge sum of five million yuan for handling matters. Rich people may not necessarily be smart, but they will definitely not give people money for no reason.
Xiang Yuanyuan really couldn't think of any other way for Du Ruo to be paid such a high reward except by force, so the danger was imaginable.
"It won't be dangerous. I'm in China and I can contact you anytime. Don't worry."
Du Ruo hugged Xiang Yuanyuan and explained softly.
He really shouldn't have left at this time, but he knew even more that he shouldn't be completely obsessed with the gentleness of life, spending the whole day like this, and Xiang Yuanyuan was so charming that he was afraid that he would not be able to extricate himself and thus neglect his martial arts.
"Besides, I probably won't be out for too long. When I come back, let's go on vacation to the beach, okay?"
Du Ruo continued to comfort her.
"Then please be safe. I don't mind going on vacation. I just want you to be safe. Besides... I'm going to be thirty soon..."
Xiang Yuanyuan felt relieved after hearing Du Ruo's words, but she couldn't help looking a little gloomy when she talked about the latter part.
Xiang Yuanyuan is actually 28 years old this year, but women at this age can’t help but feel anxious.
"Well, I'll be back soon, and then we'll go to the mountain together to play with the clouded leopard family."
Du Ruo hugged Xiang Yuanyuan tightly and comforted her softly. That was why he wanted to improve his martial arts as quickly as possible so that he could spend more time with Xiang Yuanyuan and his family.
Du Ruo might be able to improve his martial arts and achieve extraordinary success, but that would take time. The human body's functions have a shelf life and will weaken at a certain age. He doesn't want to wait until he's old and wants to make further progress in martial arts only to find that his body can't keep up. If that happens, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
"Du Ruo! Du Ruo! Are you home?"
Just as the two were hugging each other tighter and tighter, Yang Chenguang's voice rang out from outside the yard, and when he saw the yard door open, he walked in without waiting.
Du Ruo didn't react when she heard Yang Chenguang's call, but Xiang Yuanyuan subconsciously broke free from Du Ruo's arms and began to turn her face to wipe the corner of her eyes.
"What's the matter? Why are you so startled? What have you done?"
Du Ruo was not panicked. He put one hand on Xiang Yuanyuan's waist, leaned back on the sofa, looked at Yang Chenguang, and spoke slowly.
"You are all here, oh~~"
Yang Chenguang saw Xiang Yuanyuan was there too, and saw that Xiang Yuanyuan had put on makeup and dressed up specially, and also saw Du Ruo's hand on Xiang Yuanyuan's waist, and he couldn't help but let out a long "oh".
"You guys chat. I'll go open the package and get the wine my mom sent yesterday."
Xiang Yuanyuan was not as thick-skinned as Du Ruo, and she felt a little shy being looked at like this by an acquaintance. She said something and then walked outside.
"Awesome~ You guys were still the same as before a few days ago, how come you're progressing so fast? You're really quick at this."
Yang Chenguang waited until Yuanyuan left and walked away before he sat down and made a joke.
"Stop talking nonsense. Do I need to tell you that we are in a relationship? Just tell me what you are doing here."
Du Ruo said something to Yang Chenguang in an unpleasant tone.
"Hey, my dad told me that you were going to give him some mushrooms, so he asked me to get two chickens and ask about the wine."
Yang Chenguang smiled and put the plastic bag on the table. Through the bag, one could vaguely see that it was a chicken, and it had already been killed and processed, and only needed to be put into the pot.
"Mushrooms haven't arrived yet. I think you just want to come here to ask for wine. Wait, Yuanyuan has gone to get the wine. By the way, do you want to eat here at noon?"
Du Ruo didn't hesitate to take the two chickens and looked at them. They were authentic home-raised chickens, perfect for stewing at noon.
"I won't eat. I have things to do in the afternoon. We can have a drink in the evening and tell you about your progress."
Yang Chenguang rubbed his hands, then took the tea brewed by Du Ruo and started drinking it.
By the way, he asked about the progress of the two people with a gossipy look on his face, but Du Ruoke was too lazy to tell him about these things and ignored him.
He took the chicken to the kitchen and prepared to stew it so that he could have lunch with Xiang Yuanyuan at noon.
"This is the wine you requested. I just remixed it for you. You should drink no more than two liang of wine a day. And one more thing you should know is that this wine is for replenishing kidney yang, but it is not for curing diseases. The body is nourishing, not replenishing. If you drink it without restraint, no matter how good the medicinal wine is, it will not replenish your body."
Xiang Yuanyuan was holding a jar of wine in her hand. She handed it to Yang Chenguang and explained some things at the same time. This was a new jar of wine. It was obvious that the tiger whip wine inside had been reformulated and was milder.
"Okay, okay, thank you very much, sister-in-law. I won't bother you anymore, hehehe."
Yang Chenguang was grinning from ear to ear, holding the jar of wine like a treasure, and walked outside while talking.
"Gone? This guy, probably came here just for the wine. Chen Guang just brought two chickens over. We'll have chicken soup at noon."
Du Ruo came out of the kitchen and said something unhappily while looking at Yang Chenguang's back.
After lunch, the two of them spent some time together. Du Ruo then took Xiang Yuanyuan around the B&B, told her about the B&B, and told Yang Ling that Xiang Yuanyuan would be the B&B's proprietress from now on, and that she could ask Xiang Yuanyuan to help her if she couldn't contact her. The express from Yunnan arrived, and there was a whole box in a foam box. Du Ruo gave some of it to Yang Chenguang's family, and then drove back home with Xiang Yuanyuan and Maomao.
When my mother saw Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan holding hands, she couldn't stop smiling.
In the evening, Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan cooked a mushroom banquet. My mother kept smiling all night. She even called Duna on video, saying that she wanted to tell her daughter that mushrooms are delicious. In fact, the camera was given to Xiang Yuanyuan and Du Ruo who were sitting next to each other. It looked like she wanted to tell the whole world that she had a daughter-in-law, and that she was beautiful and could cook.
As for Du Ruo's words about going out and not knowing when she would be back, her mother didn't care at all. She just kept telling Xiang Yuanyuan to go home if she had nothing to do, or to prepare something for her to eat and send it to her.
This time, Du Ruo drove back to the B&B at night.
"I'm going up first. Good night. I'll take you to the airport tomorrow morning."
As soon as the car stopped, Xiang Yuanyuan kissed Du Ruo on the face and then quickly went upstairs.
Watching Xiang Yuanyuan running upstairs, Du Ruo smiled and didn't care much.
After returning to the house, Du Ruo performed a few rounds of boxing, and then upgraded four of his skills, adding four more chances to draw a lottery.
Du Ruo was not surprised by this. The skills in the lottery were just four ordinary techniques. Du Ruo was no longer looking forward to it. Now the boxing skills only enriched Du Ruo's knowledge and were not of much use other than that.
Then he checked the knowledge he had gained after upgrading his skills in his mind.
Originally, Du Ruo thought that it was still the same as before, just some advanced knowledge after upgrading.
But after Du Ruo finished looking through the knowledge, he suddenly realized that it actually contained insights into the training of the spirit, energy and the corresponding five internal organs.
At this time, Du Ruo discovered that the three flowers and five qi on the panel actually added 1% of the process each.
"In other words, skill advancement can actually promote the progress of the Three Flowers and Five Qi?"
Du Ruo was excited. The reason why he was thinking about going out was because after training on his own, he found that unless he had some understanding of the five elements or the moves, his progress in the Three Flowers and Five Qi would not increase at all. This made Du Ruo a little anxious, so he thought of going out to seek a breakthrough.
However, Du Ruo soon discovered that this time, although four skills were upgraded, the progress only increased by 1%. Among the four skills, only the Natural Gate technique broke through from LV2 to LV3, while the other Baji, Tai Chi, and Wing Chun only broke through from LV1 to LV2.
"In other words, only when you break through to the maximum level 3 can you increase your progress value? But it doesn't matter. As long as you can improve through training, it's fine. At least this way you can see the future."
Du Ruo quickly figured out the specific details and was very excited about it.
As long as I can see progress, it’s good. I’m just afraid that I don’t know where the future lies.
As for whether to go out or not, Du Ruo thought about it and decided not to give up. Going out for a walk would definitely be beneficial, and whether it was comprehending the true meaning of the five elements or the charm of boxing, it would greatly improve his combat effectiveness.
However, Du Ruo greatly shortened the originally set time in his mind. Du Ruo's lowest expectation was to find the tiger and the bear as quickly as possible, and then comprehend the tiger form and the bear form. The comprehension of the monkey form and the snake form came second.
After planning for the future, Du Ruo began to meditate and practice Hunyuan Yi Qigong, and went to bed an hour later.
The next day, Du Ruo did not go to say goodbye to her parents. Xiang Yuanyuan drove Du Ruo to the town.
Neither of them spoke in the car. Xiang Yuanyuan drove seriously with a serious face, while Du Ruo sat in the passenger seat and looked at Xiang Yuanyuan's profile without saying anything.
Twenty minutes later, the vehicle stopped, but no one got out and everyone remained sitting in the car.
"Yuanyuan, I'm leaving now. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Du Ruo held Xiang Yuanyuan's face and spoke gently.
"Well, you don't have to keep me waiting too long."
Xiang Yuanyuan nodded, and could no longer hold back the tears that she had been holding back for a long time.
"No, remember to go to the hospital for a physical examination. You must not drink alcohol without the doctor's permission. Even if you are well, you can't drink like before, understand?"
Du Ruo said this as she wiped away the tears from Xiang Yuanyuan's eyes.
"Well, I will be fine, and you should be fine too..."
Xiang Yuanyuan's eyes were filled with tears, and no matter how hard Du Ruo tried to wipe them away, they couldn't be wiped away.
"Um~"
Until Du Ruo used his killer move and moved his mouth closer to Xiang Yuanyuan to block the rest of her words. Xiang Yuanyuan opened her eyes wide, her body stiff, her face full of shock and helplessness, then her body slowly softened, she closed her eyes, and enjoyed Du Ruo's tenderness.
"I'm leaving now. Wait for me at home."
Du Ruo kissed Xiang Yuanyuan's tears dry, said something to Xiang Yuanyuan whose lips were swollen, then got off the car with his backpack and got on the bus to the airport.
