Chapter 176 Uncle Mo, Don’t Perform for Free
Early in the morning, Du Ruo looked at Xiang Yuanyuan in his arms and couldn't help but kiss her on the face.
"Good morning, Brother Du."
Xiang Yuanyuan stretched out her arms and put them around Du Ruo's neck. Without opening her eyes, she greeted Du Ruo in a daze.
"Brother Du? That's not what you call me at night."
Du Ruo smiled and hugged Xiangyuan's plump and voluptuous body in the quilt.
"I'll sleep a little longer and skip breakfast."
Xiang Yuanyuan was a little shy, so she buried her head in the quilt and acted like an ostrich.
"Well, go to sleep. I'll go out for a walk. I'm nearby. Just call me if you need anything."
Du Ruo nodded. He had originally wanted to go to the sea before the typhoon, but now it seems that he has to postpone it again.
"Sure enough, sex is like a steel knife that scrapes bones. The ancients were right."
Du Ruo thought about it in his mind, but without any regret, he put on his clothes and decided to go out and stretch his muscles.
"Xiao Du, you got up so early."
As soon as Du Ruo went out, he saw Li Fusheng walking up from the beach path, soaking wet.
"Uncle, are you going to work so early in the morning?"
Du Ruo was a little curious. It was common for fishermen to get up early, but they would get up in the early morning to go to the sea. However, they would usually rummage around on the shore. It was rare to see someone as wet as Li Fusheng.
"Alas, a typhoon is coming, so I went to help a farmer in the village pack up some things.
It's a typhoon, and I heard it's getting worse. I don't know how many farmers will be affected. Although my family is not engaged in farming and breeding, I have to help if I can. If I can help to save some losses in advance, I will help to save some losses."
Li Fusheng sighed and shook his head, frowning as he looked at the waves splashing on the beach.
"Oh, then if your uncle and you guys need help, just tell me. I don't have any other skills, but I have a lot of strength."
Du Ruo didn't quite understand Li Fusheng's feelings. He was an inland person, and even though he had lived in Guangdong Province before, he had never lived in a coastal city. His understanding of typhoons was that primary school students would have to suspend classes, or cars would be parked to prevent flooding, but that was all.
It is simply impossible to imagine that the typhoon will be a disaster for the fishermen on the coast, but I still want to do my best to help.
"Well, thank you. I'll leave first. Do you want to go home and have some porridge?"
Li Fusheng then showed a smile on his face, his impression of Du Ruo became even better, and he extended an invitation.
"No, thank you Uncle Li, I'll just stretch my body here for a while, you guys eat."
Du Ruo smiled. In this strange place, one must be on guard against people. He didn't want to go too far away and leave Xiang Yuanyuan sleeping alone in the house.
"Okay, if you need to eat, there's food in the village. Just give some money to the villagers. They're all fresh ingredients and guaranteed to be clean. By the way, don't turn off your cell phones. I'll notify you if anything happens."
Li Fusheng gave his final instructions, then turned and left.
Du Ruo watched Li Fusheng leave, then turned around to look at the sea in the distance. There was the sun's brightness over there, everything was quite calm, and the visibility was very high. Du Ruo could see very far away, and there was no feeling of a typhoon approaching.
"Forget it, it's a good opportunity to see it."
Du Ruo shook his head, took two steps towards the coast, faced the sea, and began to practice boxing, but today he was no longer practicing Xingyiquan, but Tai Chi.
It seems that practicing Tai Chi is the most appropriate choice when facing the sea.
Du Ruo's Tai Chi is very good, and is not worse than Long Zhirou's. In fact, Du Ruo's lower body is more stable, and if we ignore the difference in appearance, his Tai Chi is more entertaining to watch.
After all, the casualness and confidence of Du Ruo are not something that ordinary people can imitate.
While practicing boxing, Du Ruo sensed that several people were walking towards him, but Du Ruo did not care too much. As long as they did not break into the house without permission, nothing else was as important as boxing.
Uncle Mo, a big internet celebrity, often shoots some humorous short videos to spread local customs and cultural characteristics, and is also loved by many people on the Internet.
He is from this village. He came here today to take advantage of the typhoon to shoot a series of short films. He hopes to use short films to let more people know about the impact of the typhoon on local people, especially fishermen.
Today's photos are about the tranquility and peace of the village before the typhoon arrives, and of course we also want to collect materials for a series of subsequent photos.
I just went to a cage farm today to shoot a video of emergency reinforcement and the moving of some equipment. When I came up, I found someone boxing high up on the beach facing the sea.
"Who is this guy doing boxing? I've never seen him before. Is he someone's relative? This is Tai Chi, right? He does it beautifully. Film it, film it."
When Da Mo saw this scene, he felt that nothing could better capture the harmony before the typhoon came, and he hurriedly urged the photographer to take pictures.
"It seems he came here yesterday. He is a tourist from out of town and is now staying in Uncle Li's house."
A person nearby met Du Ruo yesterday. It’s not that he has a good memory, but the photo of Yuanyuan was so eye-catching that it’s hard to forget.
"Tourists, after we're done filming, we'll go over and ask them. If they don't want to be on camera, we'll delete it. If they are willing to be on camera, even if we can just leave a picture of their backs, that would be great." Uncle Mo was originally a positive energy anchor. He usually filmed in the village. As they were all villagers, everyone knew each other, and it was also for publicity, so it didn't matter whether they appeared on camera or not. However, it was different for out-of-town tourists. He couldn't let them appear on camera without asking.
Several people just watched Du Ruo practicing boxing quietly, and Du Ruo's boxing skills became more and more natural as he practiced more and more. Slowly, he even began to break away from the restrictions of Tai Chi routines, and it was impossible to tell which Tai Chi routine he was practicing.
But it doesn’t matter. The people not far away don’t know anything about martial arts. They just feel something special when they see Du Ruo fighting beautifully.
And for some reason, there was no wind at first, but as Du Ruo was punching, everyone could feel a breeze on their faces. Combined with the sun slowly rising behind Du Ruo, it might be because of the light, it seemed that everything around Du Ruo was distorted.
"Wow, this shot is really beautiful. No, the angle is not good enough. Hey, this is good. The light is amazing."
Everyone else was watching quietly, not caring about their clothes getting wet while helping the farmers move things. Only the photographer kept moving, looking for a better shooting angle.
"It looks like the fight is over. Let's go over and ask."
Uncle Mo saw that Du Ruo had finished the fight and was about to stop. A smile appeared on his face, and he walked towards Du Ruo with the two of them. The photographer was still following them and did not interrupt the filming. Anyway, if the footage would not be used or the other party was unwilling, he could just delete it.
"Hello, hello. We just saw you doing boxing, and it was great. May I ask if you were doing Tai Chi?"
Uncle Mo came to Du Ruo and greeted him politely. In short videos, he usually appears as a village bully, but in reality he is very kind, especially when facing foreign tourists like Du Ruo, he is full of smiles.
"Yes, Tai Chi."
Du Ruo opened her eyes and looked at Uncle Mo with a smile.
I originally heard people say that there was an internet celebrity in the village, and Li Fusheng also said that villagers were often filmed. At that time, he didn’t care. After all, it has been many years since the era of self-media, and it is not surprising that an internet celebrity has emerged in the village. But I didn’t expect that this was not just a small internet celebrity, but a super big internet celebrity.
He had also watched Uncle Mo's videos, so he was naturally clear about the situation. However, he did not expect that he and Xiang Yuanyuan were so lucky that they could meet a big internet celebrity like Uncle Mo just by finding a random village by the sea.
However, although he liked Uncle Mo's videos very much, he did not show any excitement. After all, he had met big stars like Wu Jing before, and the confidence brought by force allowed him to face these celebrities calmly when he met them.
"We just watched you fight beautifully. I wonder if you can upload the video to the Internet? If you can, can you show us a special clip?"
Uncle Mo originally wanted to come over and ask Du Ruo whether it could be uploaded to the Internet. He didn't expect Du Ruo to be so indifferent. He immediately realized that this might be a show effect, so he changed his tone and asked other questions.
"No, I won't accept you uploading my video for free."
When Du Ruo saw the other person's look, he put away his smile, waved his hand, and made a gesture of refusal, but he emphasized the word "free of charge" and rubbed his fingers a few times.
"It's not free, it's paid, paid, how about giving me a hundred?"
When Uncle Mo saw Du Ruo's performance, he gave him a thumbs up in his heart, but he continued to talk and looked at the two people beside him, as if he wanted to find some money, but who carries money these days?
"Look, how about paying with your phone?"
Uncle Mo's eyes turned and he took out his cell phone.
"But I didn't bring my cell phone."
Du Ruo patted his trousers. He placed his cell phone next to the bed so that he could hear the ringing if there was a call.
"Here, here, you can transfer it to me."
At this time, a voice sounded from the side. It turned out to be Xiang Yuanyuan who appeared from the side, and she took out her mobile phone in her hand. After Du Ruo came out, she felt empty in her heart, so she simply stopped sleeping and watched Du Ruo boxing. She was also very excited to see Uncle Mo appear, but seeing that Du Ruo didn't show it, she simply cooperated with the performance.
"Okay, okay, come on, I've swept you, now you can perform."
Uncle Mo was a little surprised by Xiang Yuanyuan's appearance, but he reacted immediately, took out his cell phone, and without hesitation, scanned 200 photos of Xiang Yuanyuan on the spot, and then watched Du Ruo's performance with anticipation.
"The money I paid you just now only allows you to upload, but does not include displaying. I practice unique kung fu, which cannot be displayed casually."
Du Ruo continued to shake his head, but the two fingers on his hand kept rubbing.
"Then...what should we do then?"
Uncle Mo's mouth twitched and he asked in agreement.
“You have to pay more!!!”
Du Ruo's answer was firm and decisive.
"Okay! Can you show it now?"
Uncle Mo did not hesitate. He took out his mobile phone and scanned a few hundred yuan for Xiang Yuanyuan again. Then he asked with gritted teeth.
"Let me see. Well, move aside so I can show you."
Du Ruo saw that Xiang Yuanyuan had received the money and gestured with his hand for her to move aside, but he held Xiang Yuanyuan's hand tightly, preventing her from leaving.
Uncle Mo was also full of expectations. After all, it was his first time watching such a paid kung fu show, so he was very excited, since he had spent money on it.
But as I watched, I felt something was not right.
