Chapter 203 Husband~Let’s go to Snake Island
"Why did your military recruit me? To be honest, I don't see my value. Sit down and talk."
Seeing that the two men did not sit down and were still standing aside, Du Ruo began to ask questions while swinging his arm and the Panlong Silk was swung out again.
When the fox and the tiger saw Du Ruo's Panlong silk appear again, their hearts tightened. This steel wire just now brought too much shock to them.
But the dragon's tail did not rush towards them, but wrapped around the leg of a bench nearby. Then Du Ruo withdrew his hand and the bench flew over.
While the bench was in the air, the wire was retracted, and the whole dragon continued to coil on the bracelet, while the bench fell behind the two men.
The fox and the tiger sat down subconsciously. After sitting down, the fox subconsciously felt the legs of the bench with his hands.
The benches here at Du Ruo are all made of solid wood, and they are thick and durable, otherwise they would not be able to support Du Ruo's weight of more than 300 pounds.
But when the fox touched it, he found no signs of damage on the wooden legs.
It was as if the steel wire Du Ruo had just used was completely different from the steel wire used to cut the tree stumps before.
“We have received two tasks. One is to have a discussion with Mr. Du, and the other is to invite Mr. Du to join our military.
Not only can we provide special treatment, but we can also be promoted. We don’t need to refer to the promotion system of ordinary soldiers. When we enter the military, we start as instructors and senior officers. Of course, we can also arrange jobs for our families. "
Although Fox is called Fox, she still speaks in a military style, straightforward and without procrastination. She also has no intention of negotiating conditions and directly pours out the conditions given by her superiors.
In fact, it’s not that she doesn’t want to talk, nor that she doesn’t know how to negotiate.
The truth was that she had just lost so badly. It could be said that both she and Lao Hu had not even figured out Du Ruo's bottom line. How could she go to negotiate with Du Ruo?
But the two are also masters in the army and have their own pride. Failure in close combat does not mean that they are weaker than others. They have their own strengths.
Moreover, they did not represent individuals but the military, so they simply threw out the conditions and let Du Ruo make the choice himself.
"Tsk, that's an offer that I can't refuse."
To be honest, Du Ruo was moved. In fact, Du Ruo had a very deep affection for soldiers and the army. He was always ready if needed, but that was in the past.
If there was an opportunity to join the army in the past, he would have thought carefully and his family would definitely agree.
"Unfortunately, it is no longer suitable now. After practicing martial arts to my current level, my personality is no longer suitable for joining the military. Joining the army may only backfire."
Du Ruo shook his head and continued speaking with some regret.
That’s right, after practicing martial arts to the level that Du Ruo is at now, his personality is actually a bit extreme. They have their own cognition, and it is difficult for them to change, and it is also difficult for them to accept orders from others. In the military, where obedience to orders is the most basic requirement, Du Ruo feels that it is difficult for him to stay there.
So, it's better not to cause trouble. Forcing him won't do him any good.
"I see. I understand. We won't stay here any longer. We have to go back and report. I hope we can have another chance to fight each other in the future."
After listening to this, the fox nodded. She did not persuade him too much. In fact, there was no need for her to persuade him on these matters. She only needed to take Du Ruo's reply back to report. The rest of the matters would naturally be arranged by the higher-ups.
"Ah."
Du Ruo nodded without trying to persuade him to stay.
"Then I won't bother Mr. Du."
The fox picked up the cup, drank the tea that Du Ruo had poured in one gulp, then got up and left.
Only then did Du Ruo notice that the fox's arm was already red. It was obvious that the cup of boiling water had not caused no harm at all, it was just that the fox's endurance was stronger.
The tiger behind her didn't say anything. After the fox stood up, he followed the fox out of the yard.
This time, the two of them left the yard gate in an orderly manner, and did not forget to close the yard door again before leaving.
Du Ruo continued to drink tea, but his mind couldn't help but think about some messy things. Long Zhirou and the little assistant in the distance had already left.
Du Ruo didn't say much about this. Long Zhirou was a smart person and would not spread the video casually. She probably only uploaded it to the small group of her, Xiang Yuanyuan and Li Qiyao.
"Honey~ We are back, have you had lunch?"
Xiang Yuanyuan came back much earlier than Du Ruo expected.
It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon when Xiang Yuanyuan and Li Qiyao returned to the gate of the yard.
From the fact that Li Qiyao's hair stuck to her face and the sweat on her back, one could tell how hurriedly they came back.
"I ate at the store. You must be exhausted. Come and have a drink of water."
Du Ruo poured a glass of water for the two of them and did not ask why they came back so early.
Normally, it takes a whole day to climb one route of Huangshan Mountain, and you need to be fast and have good stamina, otherwise you won't be able to finish the climb.
Of course, taking the cable car is an exception, but Du Ruo knows that Xiang Yuanyuan doesn't like taking the cable car. She prefers the feeling of climbing the mountain step by step. However, that routine may have been broken today. As for the reason, it is obvious that Long Zhirou told her that someone was looking for Du Ruo.
"You haven't eaten enough, right? Qiqi and I are going to take a shower first, and then we'll prepare food and have dinner early tonight."
Xiang Yuanyuan looked around the yard and didn't find any changes. As for the broken wooden stakes, the fallen parts had been thrown away by Du Ruo. It was just a broken part, so Xiang Yuanyuan didn't care.
After saying that, he pulled Li Qiyao and walked into the house.
Everything was normal in the afternoon. Xiang Yuanyuan didn't even mention that she had watched the video. She just pulled Li Qiyao around to run around, buying groceries and cooking.
After dinner, I walked around the village and finally had a drink in the tavern. Then I returned to the bedroom to start meditation before going to bed. Everything was as usual, without any changes.
It was not until they finished their meditation and bathed and began to wash up that Du Ruo began to talk about what happened in the yard today.
"Two people came this morning."
Du Ruo was standing in the bathroom brushing her teeth in her pajamas. After spitting out the foam in her mouth, Du Ruo spoke abruptly.
"Oh, who is it?"
Xiang Yuanyuan was applying body lotion on herself. When she heard Du Ruo speak, she paused for a moment, then asked as if he didn't care, without stopping.
"Two soldiers, we had a fight, and then they invited me to join the army, but I refused."
Du Ruo put away the toothpaste and toothbrush, wiped his face with the towel beside him, and told what happened today in just three sentences.
"Oh."
Xiang Yuanyuan lowered her head but did not stop her actions. She just replied lightly, making it impossible to understand what she was thinking.
"Come on, go to the bed, I'll help you apply it."
Seeing Xiang Yuanyuan's look, Du Ruo picked her up without saying a word and walked towards the bed.
She said she was there to help apply body lotion, but when she left, the bottle of lotion was still left next to the sink.
After a long time, when the body lotion was applied, Xiang Yuanyuan lay on Du Ruo, with her ear against Du Ruo's chest, listening to Du Ruo's heavy heartbeat. In a trance, Xiang Yuanyuan even felt that she could hear the sound of Du Ruo's blood flowing in her veins.
"Hubby~ How about we go to Dalian tomorrow?"
Today, Xiang Yuanyuan did not fall asleep due to fatigue as she did in the past. Instead, she opened her mouth abruptly and said something without any clue.
"Ah? Why are you going to Dalian?"
Du Ruo was a little confused and didn't know why Xiang Yuanyuan suddenly brought up this.
"I've learned about it. There is a snake-shaped fist in Xingyiquan. I was thinking about the eagle and horse forms you learned on the grassland, the crocodile form you learned from watching the Chinese alligator, and the tiger and bear forms you learned from going to the Lesser Khingan Mountains. So can we go to places where there are many snakes and observe them? Then we can learn the snake form."
Xiang Yuanyuan propped herself up and looked up at Du Ruo. She didn't care about her bright body swaying in front of Du Ruo, but began to express her own thoughts.
Speaking of which, she has been through a lot these days.
After the holiday, first Li Yu came to ask Du Ruo to be a bodyguard, and then Wu Jing came to invite Du Ruo to film a movie. Actually, she was quite willing to do so, but unfortunately Du Ruo didn't like it.
And today, some military personnel came to invite Du Ruo to join the army.
These things made her a little panicked. On the one hand, she was afraid that Du Ruo would be separated from her. On the other hand, she was afraid that Du Ruo would be in danger.
In fact, she didn't have so many thoughts. She just wanted to live her life peacefully with Du Ruo, drink a glass of wine in her spare time, watch Du Ruo practice boxing, and occasionally go to the mountains to see the little animals. This kind of life is what she most wants.
She doesn't ask for a luxury house or a luxury car, nor does she have any grand ambitions. This is all she pursues.
But the series of events made her more and more panicked, as if everyone was eyeing Du Ruo covetously, which made her feel insecure, so she kept thinking about going out for a walk. That way, those people would not be able to find her.
She already had several location options in her mind, all of which would be beneficial for Du Ruo to practice martial arts.
"Oh, but why do we have to go to Dalian to comprehend the snake form? There are also snakes in the back mountain. I can just observe them when I encounter them some other day."
Du Ruo didn't care too much, but stretched out his hand and gently stroked the two masses swaying in front of his eyes, asking casually, he couldn't figure out what the understanding of snake form had to do with going to Dalian.
"There is a snake island in Dalian. It is said that the snake path there is only about kilometers long, but there are nearly 20,000 black-browed vipers living there. You can step on a viper wherever you walk there. Honey, let's go for a walk on the island. It will definitely help you understand the snake form."
Xiang Yuanyuan said this seriously, expecting Du Ruo to agree.
