Chapter 82: Man versus dog
It’s no wonder that Du Ruo agreed. In addition to money and treasures, Du Ruo wanted to show off his skills and train himself.
In fact, from ancient times to the present, people who practice martial arts can only have a higher status if they become military generals (it’s not because they know martial arts that they have a high status, the essence of a military general is a general). However, there are so many people who practice martial arts, and they don’t know anything else except martial arts. How can they survive?
Therefore, many people have formed a tacit understanding that there is a rule for accepting disciples, that is, after learning something, if you want to become a master, you have to go out to travel the world. Generally speaking, it takes at least three years to travel the world. How do you eat and practice martial arts during these three years? You have to know that martial artists have a big appetite and cannot support themselves by traveling outside.
Therefore, whenever these warriors arrived at a place, they would report to the local government, and then receive some wanted notices or bandit suppression orders issued by the government and local wealthy families, and thus earn some money to continue their travels.
A living martial artist has to constantly deal with all kinds of people, and come into contact with all walks of life, in order to accumulate enough experience. When he becomes famous, he can be considered a master and will be able to open a martial arts school or a security agency.
However, some people take risks and start businesses with no capital. These people will be wanted by the government and wealthy families, and then be taken over by other wandering knights.
Many people did not leave during this process, and were served by some officials or wealthy businessmen, and then took root in a certain place.
This is the ecosystem of people who practiced martial arts in ancient times, and also a way of survival. It is very realistic and cruel. If you die in the martial arts world, you die. No one will care about the experience of a loser. Only masters can survive and become heroes and leave their names everywhere. After gaining fame and fortune, they will attract a large number of people to become their disciples.
If it weren't for the fact that traditional cultures such as Chinese painting, martial arts, traditional Chinese medicine, porcelain, sculpture, calligraphy, poetry, etc. were not called national arts, and if it weren't for the fact that many martial arts masters in modern times risked their lives in times of crisis, the status of people who practiced martial arts would not necessarily become so high.
So in the final analysis, if martial arts is not related to culture (Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism), or there is no means to make it the only one in the world, then don't be self-righteous. The essence of martial arts is a means of killing people. Staying in a corner is just self-admiration. Unless you take the route of live broadcasting to make money, otherwise without fame you are no different from a villager.

"Okay, Mr. Du, wait a moment."
When Li Yu heard Du Ruo's agreement, he stood up happily, then went out, took out a plastic bag from the car and handed it to Du Ruo.
"This is 100,000 yuan for travel expenses. Mr. Du, please give me your identity information. I will help you book a ticket and fly to Guangdong Province tomorrow. Someone will pick you up there. When you meet the real owner, he will tell you in detail whether you have a passport. If not, I will hurry up to get it."
"Well, I have the passport. I'll send you the information when the time comes."
Du Ruo nodded in agreement and took a look at the plastic bag. It was a large bundle of banknotes that had not even been torn open.
Since he has agreed to take other people's money, Du Ruo should just do as they ask.
The other party would not worry that Du Ruo would take the money and not go, and Du Ruo would not worry that the other party would set any traps. Both parties abided by the tacit understanding of the ancient way of traveling in the world, one party paid the money and the other party worked hard and got the money to do the work.
If Du Ruo goes back on his word, he will definitely not be able to stay in this circle anymore.
After you've finished your work, if the other party uses this to threaten you, then you'll have to see if you can withstand the revenge of these people who live on the edge of a knife.
"Okay, then it's a happy cooperation. I wish Mr. Du all the best. The tiger bones still need some procedures and can be delivered to the person you designate in a few days."
Li Yu stretched out her hand with a smile.
“A pleasure to work with!!”
The two shook hands, and then Du Ruo and Li Yu walked outside.
"Wow wow wow ~ Uncle, hello auntie, Maomao! Maomao!! Where are you, come out quickly, I'm so mad"
The two had just gone out and were about to walk out of the yard when Yaya ran in from outside, screaming and running towards the house. When she saw Li Yu and Du Ruo, she was stunned for a moment, said hello, and then continued to run towards the hall, shouting Maomao as she ran. "Tell uncle what's wrong?"
When passing by Du Ruo, Du Ruo picked up Yaya and held her in his arms. At the same time, Maomao, who was using the air conditioner, heard the sound and ran out of the room.
"Humph!!! I'm so pissed off. Just now, the dog in Zi Han's house chased me and yelled at me. It must be because it lost the last time and wanted to bite me. I'm going to take Maomao with me to scold it."
Yaya was restless even when Du Ruo held her, and kept twisting her body to get down.
"Okay, then just be happy."
Du Ruo had heard of people who took advantage of their masters to gain power, but today was the first time he saw a man taking advantage of a dog to gain power. However, he didn't care. He put Yaya down and watched her run out with Maomao.
He was not afraid that Yaya would be bitten by a dog. The village was different from places where people treated dogs as their sons. If a dog bit someone in the village, as long as they told the owner, the owner would come to apologize in the evening with dog meat and money for vaccinations.
In the countryside, if a dog bites someone, it must not be kept alive, so the dogs in the countryside are all human-like, and the dogs that are not human-like have all been tamed by humans.
"Haha, the kid is so nice. You don't have to send me off, Mr. Du. I'll wait for your good news."
Li Yu also laughed when he saw this scene, waved to Du Ruo, and then drove away.
"Huh~~ It's coming really fast."
After the vehicle left, Du Ruo smiled bitterly, then turned back to the house. He had thought that this day would come, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
"Hey? Why did this girl leave? I bought two old hens from the neighbor and wanted her to take them back. Why didn't you stay for a while? She brought something in and it's not right for us to say anything in return."
At this time, my mother was carrying two hens and some eggs home. When she saw that Li Yu had left, she couldn't help but complain to Du Ruo.
"It's okay, mom. She came to ask me for help. I will repay her later. I just bought some chickens. Mom, you can stew them all and add some medicinal herbs. I want to eat them."
Du Ruo explained and then put the plastic bag away. She must not let her mother see the money, at least she must not let her mother know that it was sent by Li Yu, otherwise she would have all kinds of thoughts.
"Didn't you say you were going to take Yaya to a B&B instead of eating at home? Seriously, I even made an appointment to play mahjong."
Mom grumbled something but carried the chicken to the kitchen.
Du Ruo didn't say anything. He was leaving tomorrow and he wanted to have a meal before leaving. He couldn't tell his family about this, and he needed more support from his family. It would definitely not be easy to earn five million this time, but for the sake of his family, he had to come back alive.
And I have to tell my mom at the dinner table that I'm going to be away. After all, it may be ten days or half a month, so I still have to explain everything.
I’m sorry to all the big guys who support me. A lot of people scolded me in the last chapter. It’s also my fault that I didn’t choose the right entry point. In fact, I thought of several entry points at the beginning, but I chose this one with a more purposeful purpose. It was a mistake on my part. I apologize here. This chapter will be released in advance today, and there will be another chapter at noon. If anyone dislikes it, I can only apologize again.
