"He still remembered to come back to check. It means Zhang Aimin's efforts to save people were not in vain."
Du Ruo nodded, but just sighed.
No matter what Zhang Aimin's mentality was when he went to save people, and no matter whether he had the intention to die at that time, the fact is that he saved people.
It’s good that the other party can come back and take a look now.
"We have tested his body and found that he must have been injected with the drug you mentioned. Now the higher-ups want him to donate blood voluntarily and cooperate with the research, so let me ask..."
As the fox spoke, he looked up at Du Ruo, observing the changes in Du Ruo's expression.
"Why are you asking me? This is your business. I don't know this person. I don't want to bother with these things."
Du Ruo had a blank expression on his face. He picked up the tea and started drinking it while talking.
"Okay, we understand. We won't bother you anymore. I'll go back and report. This time it will be bound quickly and delivered tomorrow."
The fox was very tactful and immediately stood up and prepared to leave.
"Don't send them one by one. Just bring them all over at once. Also... use a different truck later."
Du Ruo waved his hand. Did he really think that his study was lacking decorations? It was only because his current place was not the small courtyard it used to be, otherwise it would be too eye-catching to have military vehicles coming over one after another.
But the frequent visits of these military vehicles have made many villagers reluctant to come here.
Now only Yang Chenguang or Du Ruo's parents would come over, and other villagers even started to take detours when they got to the edge.
Although the villagers did not gossip or anything like that and would greet Du Ruo with a smile when they saw him, they were all honest villagers and based on the principle of less trouble is better, they naturally isolated Du Ruo's new house.
Du Ruo was prepared for this, but he had to consider Xiang Yuanyuan, right? People always live in groups, which was the main reason why Du Ruo welcomed Li Qiyao to live with him.
"Yes, I understand."
The fox was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood, nodded, and then hugged the box with A4 paper next to it.
"Sister Yuanyuan, I'm leaving first."
Fox's face was no longer serious. He rarely smiled and greeted Xiang Yuanyuan. He no longer had the demeanor of a soldier, but looked like a girl next door.
"Ah? How about we have a meal before we go back? We went to the mountain yesterday and picked some wild vegetables, which are perfect for frying later."
Xiang Yuanyuan was originally instructing Li Qiyao in boxing, and suddenly she heard Fox greeting her, which made her feel strange. She subconsciously and politely tried to keep him.
In the past, foxes came here on business and would just nod politely when they saw Xiang Yuanyuan. They were not as humane as they are now.
"No, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first~"
The fox gestured with the box in his hand, then nodded to Du Ruo and left.
Du Ruo smiled and did not go to see the fox off. He continued drinking tea. However, Xiang Yuanyuan followed and sent the fox downstairs.
After the fox left, Du Ruo looked at the progress of "Three Flowers and Five Qi" on the panel and saw that it had reached 99% in a daze. It seemed that... the fourth physical transformation would soon come.
The progress was a bit fast, mainly because the third physical transformation did not cause the progress of "Three Flowers and Five Qi" to stagnate, but continued to grow, especially the comprehension of dragon transformation, which greatly increased the progress of "Three Flowers and Five Qi".
In addition, during this period of time, Du Ruo reorganized his martial arts, which was equivalent to reorganizing his martial arts invisibly, and his progress also increased.
Now that the progress has reached 99%, it seems that the fourth physical transformation is about to come, which makes Du Ruo inevitably have a lot of fantasies and expectations.
What Du Ruo is looking forward to is not the fourth physical transformation, but more the changes that will be brought about after the perfection of "Three Flowers and Five Qi".
As for daydreaming, that is the so-called three flowers gathering at the top of the head and five qi returning to the origin. I don’t know what I will face next after reaching this state.
……
Time always passes by inadvertently. As Li Qiyao becomes more and more familiar with martial arts, she unexpectedly finds that she is quite talented in martial arts.
Xiang Yuanyuan taught Li Qiyao the Tai Chi boxing stance and also taught her how to meditate.
After Li Qiyao quickly adapted to the practice, she began to practice the meditation technique of Hunyuan Yi Qigong with Du Ruo's approval.
Of course, the consumption of the elixirs created by Du Ruolian was also indispensable.
Xiang Yuanyuan was unexpectedly generous in this regard. As long as she had eaten any pills from each stage, she was willing to feed them to Li Qiyao.
Du Ruo didn't have much thought about this, or it should be said that he didn't care much.
Because the fox brought more and more medicinal herbs, it was even to the point where they could not be eaten all.
Since Xiang Yuanyuan wanted to give it to Li Qiyao, Du Ruo didn't care.
Life in the countryside is relatively quiet and monotonous, and life in the new home is even less eventful.
The clouded leopard is becoming more and more wild now, and Xiang Yuanyuan doesn’t even need to buy rabbits to feed it.
Occasionally, the clouded leopard would come back from hunting and put the prey in front of Du Ruo, as if asking if he wanted to eat it.
Li Qiyao's progress was also quite smooth, although she had not yet reached the stage of changing her strength in practicing Tai Chi.
It seemed that the distance was not far, and Xiang Yuanyuan had become much more cheerful these days. Being a good teacher was one thing, but more importantly, he had someone to accompany him, which made Du Ruo very pleased.
Xiang Yuanyuan and Li Qiyao are already very familiar with the village. When they have free time, they will go to the village to chat with the grandmothers and aunts about some family matters.
They would even go together to pick wild vegetables or medicinal herbs, and they have integrated very well into rural life.
Recently, many young people have returned to the village, and they all say that they want to go home to develop. But in fact, in rural areas, except for lower expenses, development is actually more difficult than in the city.
Just like Yang Chenguang, he has been developing in rural areas, working in various industries, and helping each other with his classmates from his hometown. He has already established his own circle and network of contacts.
Under such circumstances, it took him so long, and finally with the help of Du Ruo, he made money.
Of course, if Du Ruo hadn’t appeared, his life wouldn’t necessarily be so bad. At that time, when Du Ruo hadn’t yet become popular on the Internet, he had already earned about 30,000 yuan a month from live streaming and selling goods.
This is the result of his accumulation over more than ten years. These young people are not doing well in the city and when they return to the countryside, they find it difficult to integrate into the circle. Various resources or channels for advancement have long been monopolized, making it difficult for them to do anything.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Du Ruo. Many people have set their sights on Du Ruo, but it is of no use.
Du Ruo accepted all the food and other gifts that came over, and then asked Xiang Yuanyuan to return the gift.
Du Ruo ignored those who came to ask for favors or to borrow money. If someone really needed money urgently, Du Ruo would ask his father or mother to go over and get some money in the evening to help them out.
Du Ruo rarely shows up in the village, and he rarely goes out. He is different from Xiang Yuanyuan. He has reached the point where he no longer pursues material things, does not need to communicate with others, and even does not care about interpersonal relationships.
You can bring a stool and a pot of tea and sit on the balcony all day, or you can take a pen and paper and write in the study all day.
In the words of my parents, every time they came over and saw Du Ruo, it was like seeing a clay Buddha.
It’s not that Du Ruo is lazy and doesn’t move at all. It’s more that the “human” quality in Du Ruo is fading, and he is becoming less desireful and has no demands. He is really like a worshipped Bodhisattva.
In fact, not only Du Ruo's parents discovered it, but even Yang Chenguang had reduced the frequency of visiting Du Ruo's new house.
Because every time he came, although Du Ruo would still accompany him to drink tea, wine, and even happily eat bull whip together as before, Yang Chenguang always felt uncomfortable.
Every time Du Ruo looked over there, he felt like he was naked, as if Du Ruo could see deep into his heart, making him feel uneasy.
Only Xiang Yuanyuan could not feel the changes in Du Ruo. In her eyes, Du Ruo was no different from before. Du Ruo also loved basking in the sun and drinking tea.
As for Li Qiyao, she is as tired as a dog every day. She practices martial arts, meditation, and various basic skills every day. She does not have the physical fitness like Xiang Yuanyuan. The exercises that Xiang Yuanyuan finds easy, she finds it difficult every time to complete.
And this kind of Du Ruo becomes even more likable to small animals.
The kestrel often builds its nest on top of Du Ruo's head, and the clouded leopard always goes outside to catch squirrels, hares, etc. and brings them back for Du Ruo. Even if Du Ruo clearly does not want to eat them, it will still happily put the prey in front of Du Ruo.
Even the two cats, one black and one white, that Li Qiyao brought with her, circled around Du Ruo all day long, as if Du Ruo had some special magic that made these little animals unable to resist getting close to him. …
"Hubby, what are you looking at? You've been staring at it for a long time without blinking."
Xiang Yuanyuan came to Du Ruo, then followed Du Ruo's gaze and looked up at the sky. There was nothing there but clouds floating by.
"There... is a door... I'm a little curious about what's behind the door?"
Du Ruo was sitting on the recliner, his eyes still looking at the sky, but he was shouting something. His expression was calm and his eyes were lifeless, but he raised his hand and pointed at the sky.
"Where is the door? How can there be a door in the sky?"
Li Qiyao also walked over at this time and looked up at the sky along the direction Du Ruo pointed, but saw nothing. After staring for a while, she turned to look at Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan, only to find that not only Du Ruo was looking up, but even Xiang Yuanyuan was looking at the sky with a serious expression.
This moment, Li Qiyao was stunned. She thought she was dazzled. She looked up again, but still nothing.
"Yuanyuan, did you see it?"
Li Qiyao felt a little unconfident and couldn't help but squat down, then rubbed Xiang Yuanyuan who was squatting with her arm, her tone full of suspicion.
"No...there is nothing in the sky."
Xiang Yuanyuan shook her head and replied.
"Haha, if not, then you..."
Li Qiyao thought it was just the couple's little bad taste. He was amused and chuckled twice. But when he turned around, he found that the two of them had no intention of laughing at all. Suddenly, he couldn't say anything next.
"But if my husband says there is, then there must be...Husband, are you the only one who can see it?"
Xiang Yuanyuan ignored Li Qiyao and turned to look at Du Ruo, putting her hands on Du Ruo's arms, with a worried look on her face.
"Well, I couldn't see it before, but a few days ago, my body underwent its fourth transformation, and then I could see it. The door was tightly closed... So these days, I kept staring at it, and I was wondering, what is this door for?"
Du Ruo did not withdraw his gaze and seemed to be explaining to Xiang Yuanyuan.
Hearing this, Li Qiyao swallowed her saliva and could no longer speak.
Xiang Yuanyuan held Du Ruo's arm, her eyes full of worry:
"Hubby, I'm afraid..."
Xiang Yuanyuan just said it softly, and she didn't say what she was afraid of.
"Not afraid..."
Du Ruo retracted his gaze, patted Xiang Yuanyuan's hand, smiled, and explained:
"Don't worry, the fourth metamorphosis seems to be the internal organs and spirit, and it seems to be completed soon, and it won't need the same as last time."
"Spirit... is this really okay??"
Li Qiyao glanced at Du Ruo, then looked up at the sky, and listened to what Du Ruo said. These words couldn't help but flash through her mind.
No matter how you look at it, Du Ruo's current behavior and actions don't seem normal. Coupled with what he said about his mental transformation, Li Qiyao couldn't help but think too much.
"Hubby, let's go eat. Mom just brought the fish soup over. Can you help me eat the fish in it?"
Xiang Yuanyuan forced a smile on her face, then pulled Du Ruo and prepared to let him leave the balcony.
It seemed as if he was afraid that Du Ruo would say, "I'm going to open that door."
"Then let's go down, but I don't need to eat the fish. I think I heard Yaya talking just now."
Du Ruo stood up from the chair where he had been lying for the whole morning, and followed Xiang Yuanyuan into the room. The two cats, one black and one white, beside them immediately followed closely when they saw Du Ruo stand up, completely ignoring Li Qiyao.
"What did Yaya say?"
Xiang Yuanyuan just wanted to divert Du Ruo's attention now, so she asked questions based on whatever Du Ruo said.
"Yaya said, "Mom, please drive quickly. My uncle's family must have fish to eat today. It will take us a long time to drive back. If we are late, we may not be able to catch up."
There was no expression on Du Ruo's face, and he imitated Yaya's words with his own voice, as if he had really seen it.
"..."
After listening to this, Xiang Yuanyuan turned to look at Du Ruo, opened her mouth and wanted to ask something, but nothing came out. The three of them went downstairs in silence.
"Then I'll go steam another dried fish. Yaya loves it. I happen to have some soaked dried fish. It only takes about fifteen minutes to steam. That way, they can rush home from town in time for the trip."
Xiang Yuanyuan finally took the initiative to speak.
Just this one sentence made Li Qiyao realize the difference between herself and Xiang Yuanyuan.
Li Qiyao knew that Du Ruo was very powerful and very magical, and seemed to have achieved the ability to fly and hide underground. She also knew that Du Ruo's five senses were amazing, usually centered on his home. Whenever a vehicle came on the new road, Du Ruo would immediately know who was coming.
But when she heard what Du Ruo just said, her first reaction was: "This place is at least several kilometers away from the town where Yaya is. How can we hear it?"
But Xiang Yuanyuan's response was: "Yaya said she wants to eat fish? Then I'll cook more dried fish that Yaya likes."
And when Du Ruo said there was a door in heaven, her first reaction was: "How can there be a door in heaven? Du Ruo must have a mental problem."
But Xiang Yuanyuan's response was: "My husband saw a door in the sky, so there must be a door."
Even though Li Qiyao admitted that she had always had a crush on Du Ruo, and that the more she couldn't get him, the more she wanted him, she was almost obsessed with it, but she couldn't believe and trust Du Ruo as much as Xiang Yuanyuan did.
Li Qiyao was thinking about the gap between herself and Xiang Yuanyuan, while Xiang Yuanyuan had already gone to the kitchen to add another dish and see if there was enough rice.
As for Du Ruo, he was sitting there thinking about various problems.
Du Ruo did not lie just now, he really saw and heard it.
A few days ago, the progress bar of "Three Flowers and Five Qi" reached 100%, and at that time a transformation state was added to the panel again.
It’s just that it cannot be said that it is the spirit and internal organs that are undergoing transformation. It is more appropriate to describe it as “three flowers and five qi”. The three flowers represent the “essence, energy and spirit”, while the “five qi” more usually represents the “five qi” in the chest, so the internal organs will also undergo transformation.
This transformation did not bring too many changes in physical senses, but it became a little more mysterious.
Du Ruo really saw a portal in the sky, but at the beginning, the portal seemed a little unreal.
But as the transformation continued, the portal became clearer and clearer. The portal was not fixed at a position in the sky, but fixed above Du Ruo. Even though Du Ruo was indoors now, he could still see the portal as long as he looked up.
Du Ruo tried to fly upwards to check the portal, but no matter how he flew, the portal was still above his head.
Just like the Dragon Gate, no matter how hard the carp jumps, it can't reach it.
As for what I heard, it was also true.
Whenever Yaya called him uncle in town, he would hear her and could imagine the scene of Yaya at that time in his mind.
Not only Yaya, but also Uncle Mo in Hainan, when he turned to Du Ruo's video and said Du Ruo's name, he could also see Uncle Mo with his upper body naked.
There was also Mr. Wang in Kyoto, who was meeting with a group of bigwigs to discuss things about him, and he could also hear and see some of it.
There is also Brother Quan from Zhejiang Province, the Taoist priests from Qingcheng Mountain... It seems that as long as someone is discussing something related to him, he can sense it.
It’s just that Yaya nags the most, at least once or twice a day, usually before or after meals, and after that, her uncle usually brings fish to eat…
Of course, if it was a stranger and was just mentioned casually, Du Ruo would only know that someone was talking about him, and only have a vague feeling.
