Chapter 121 Why is there such a big question mark above your head?
“I’m still a little uncomfortable with this.”
After practicing Xingyiquan in the morning, Du Ruo washed up. Recently, he started practicing Xingyiquan again.
In the past he always thought that he had mastered Xingyiquan, and perhaps no matter how much he practiced he would not make any progress. However, the first two times of practicing the horse form and eagle form made Du Ruo suddenly realize that he still lacked a lot. It was like he thought he had reached the maximum level, but suddenly found that he had just begun.
As for what I'm not used to, it's of course the missing bracelet on my hand. I was used to wearing it, and now I'm a little uncomfortable taking it off suddenly.
Du Ruo did not let Li Qiyao take the bracelet away. He had used it for such a long time this time and discovered many advantages and disadvantages, so he did not want to copy another one. After all, he no longer had to save as much as he did before.
"Uncle, where are we going to play today? I don't want to watch TV anymore."
Yaya sat on a small stool, holding a bun in her hand, taking bites of it. It was not a bun with fish filling, she didn't like it.
"Your dad will come pick you up later. You are going to your grandparents' house today."
Before Du Ruo could say anything, her mother had already said something.
"……Why…"
The two looked at each other and sighed at the same time. Yaya sighed because her grandmother really didn't know how to cook fish, and there was no uncle there to help her buy various sea fish to eat.
As for Du Ruo, it was naturally because if Yaya also went to her grandmother's house, he would be even more bored.
Sure enough, not long after, Yaya was picked up by his father, and Du Ruo had to drive to the B&B alone.
Since there's nothing to do, I might as well go see if there's anything I can do to help at the B&B.
The B&B found a summer worker from the village a few days ago. It didn't cost much money, and he was able to help Yang Ling deal with a lot of things.
Du Ruo went for a walk and found everything was in order.
"How's business those days?"
Du Ruo sat on the sofa at the front desk, casually finding topics to talk about. In fact, on her mobile phone there was a log sent by Yang Ling every day, which contained various situations in the store.
"I still want to, but it's not as good as before. When the tavern owner was in the shop, reservations here could be scheduled for a week later. Now sometimes there are one or two vacancies."
Yang Ling was clicking on the computer, occasionally replying to messages, frowning, and seemed quite distressed by the situation.
There's no way. Their B&B relies somewhat on the traffic from Xiang Yuanyuan, the proprietress of the tavern. In fact, their B&B is doing pretty well. The B&B next door is doing even worse and often has vacancies.
"Is that so... Then you can handle it as you see fit."
Du Ruo had no choice but to deal with this situation. After all, it was he who persuaded Xiang Yuanyuan to quit drinking a few days ago, and also persuaded her to go out for a trip. To be honest, he had his reasons behind this.
But there was nothing he could do about it. He and Xiang Yuanyuan were just friends now. He couldn't always persuade the other party not to go out and play, and he didn't have the right to do so. So he just let Xiang Yuanyuan go out to play. He believed that when Xiang Yuanyuan came back, everything would be back on track.
"I'm leaving now. Call me if you need anything."
Du Ruo left immediately after saying this.
"Oh... forget it. If you don't worry about it yourself, why should I worry about it?"
Yang Ling watched Du Ruo leave and shook her head. She originally wanted Du Ruo to take down the boss's wife, so that everything would be solved.
……
"Du Ruo, hey, let's go to your place for lunch."
As Du Ruo was walking back to the yard, Yang Chenguang appeared from the side, holding a bamboo basket in his hands, and with some dead leaves on his head and body.
"Why, are you going to run up the mountain like me now?"
Du Ruo looked at Yang Chenguang. He had been missing for a few days since they had eaten bull whip together last time. He suddenly appeared again today, and his complexion seemed to have become worse, with bags under his eyes.
"I'm going up the mountain seriously. You know it rained last night. Look what this is."
Yang Chenguang came to Du Ruo, stretched the basket in his hand in front of Du Ruo, and said with a smile.
"Is this mushroom? Do you know how to pick mushrooms?"
Du Ruo took a look and saw a basket full of mushrooms, which looked quite fresh.
Du Ruo knew that there were mushrooms on the mountain, and he had seen quite a few of them as he often went up the mountain. However, he didn't know which ones were edible and which ones were not, so he didn't pay much attention to them. He didn't expect that Yang Chenguang would actually go up the mountain to pick mushrooms. This made him doubt whether the other party had the ability to identify mushrooms.
"I understand, are you kidding? If I don't understand, how can I go up the mountain to pick it?"
Yang Chenguang patted his chest, making loud slapping sounds.
"Are you sure? This is not a joke. I may be fine after we eat, but I'm not sure about you."
Du Ruo was skeptical. He picked up the mushrooms in the basket and took a look. Each one seemed to be fine, but each one also seemed to be poisonous. He couldn't tell them apart at all.
"Don't worry, don't worry. My uncle and I picked these mushrooms in the mountains. My uncle often goes up the mountain to pick mushrooms. It's not a big deal. OK, take them home, wash them, and cook them. I'll go back and change my clothes and come over. We'll have hot pot later."
Yang Chenguang was actually a little confused. To be honest, he was trying to escape from his wife. He had to hand in homework too frequently these days, so he found an excuse to go out and pick mushrooms with his uncle. He was able to have a good rest last night. He had only eaten them before, but never picked them. However, his uncle did often pick mushrooms to eat. He had shown these mushrooms to his uncle, and those that could poison people had been picked out. He believed that there shouldn't be any problem... right.
He is still feeling lucky for his wise decision, otherwise his wife would have had to pick his mushrooms all night last night.
"Forget it. This guy is usually very reliable. I just heard that the mushroom hotpot is delicious. I'll go cut a few pounds of beef and have a good meal."
Du Ruo took out the mushrooms and looked at them. They were quite fresh. Du Ruo had always heard that the mushrooms in Yunnan were delicious, so today was a good opportunity to try them.
In order to have a bite to eat, Du Ruo tried his best. He identified the mushrooms one by one on the Internet and confirmed again that none of them were poisonous. Then he washed the mushrooms one by one, and without adding anything else, he made a mushroom hot pot with clean water and salt.
I also followed what I learned online and set an alarm for 20 minutes, and by the way, I also went to cut several pounds of beef.
"Wow, it smells so good. My trip this morning was not in vain."
Du Ruo was still cutting beef when Yang Chenguang came over after taking a shower. As soon as he arrived, he was attracted by the hot pot on the table and couldn't help but praise it.
"Bring the beef over. By the way, your wife and children are not here?"
Du Ruo shouted, the beef has been almost cut, but the hot pot will take another ten minutes.
"Forget about them. I'm afraid... ahem. Let's taste it first. If it tastes good, I'll go pick it tomorrow."
Yang Chenguang almost said that he was afraid that his whole family would be poisoned, but he coughed to cover it up.
"Let's not drink the wine. I saw online that it's better not to drink alcohol when eating mushrooms."
Du Ruo had no intention of bringing out the wine. How could Yang Chenguang's expression just now escape his eyes? However, the mushrooms were indeed fragrant and looked like they would taste good. "No, no, we have something else to do in the afternoon. Let's just eat something. Is it time yet? Can we eat?"
Yang Chenguang kept his eyes on the mushrooms.
"That's enough. Let's eat the mushrooms first. If you're still not full after the mushrooms, we can have the beef."
Du Ruo looked at the time and then took out the bowl and chopsticks.
“Drink the soup first, drink the soup first, huh~ delicious!!”
Yang Chenguang couldn't wait any longer. To be honest, the reason he stayed in the countryside and didn't go out, besides not wanting to be so extravagant, was actually just for the food.
You can eat fresh fruits and vegetables at home, and even meat can be found raised by residents themselves. Occasionally you can get some game. Of course, animals are not allowed because that is illegal, but mushrooms or wild vegetables are the freshest ones that are hard to find in the city.
The two grown men ate very quickly. It was a special experience to eat hotpot and chat in this hot weather with the air conditioner on.
Yang Chenguang didn’t have a big appetite and couldn’t eat anymore after he finished eating the mushrooms. He held a bowl of soup and drank it slowly.
Of course Du Ruo was not full yet, so she started to scald the beef with the mushroom soup.
"This weather is so hot. I feel sleepy right after eating. Ha~~"
Yang Chenguang was full and sat aside without leaving. He took a bottle of AD calcium milk that Du Ruo bought for Yaya from Du Ruo's refrigerator and started drinking it.
He was yawning while drinking, and with the dark circles under his eyes, he really looked like he had stayed up late for several days.
"No, I need to get some sleep. Du Ruo, please call me later. I have to go back to the live broadcast this afternoon."
After Yang Chenguang finished speaking, he lay down on the sofa and fell asleep without waiting for Du Ruo to speak.
"..."
Du Ruo opened her mouth and listened to Yang Chenguang snoring on the sofa. For a moment, she didn't know whether he was poisoned by the mushrooms or was really sleepy and fell asleep.
"Forget it. I don't feel anything while eating. It should be fine. The hot beef is quite delicious. Go ahead, have another plate."
Du Ruo felt herself and found that she didn't feel uncomfortable at all and seemed to be quite energetic. In fact, Yang Chenlin only ate about a quarter of the huge pot of mushroom soup, and the rest was eaten by Du Ruo. Thinking that it shouldn't be a big problem, Du Ruo continued to eat.
Du Ruo cut four or five pounds of beef and ate it with mushroom soup. It tasted quite good. Du Ruo just couldn't stop eating it.
Du Ruo enjoyed the food more and more, but the mushroom soup was not tasty enough, which was a pity. At this moment, Du Ruo found that Yang Chenguang sat up.
"Chen Guang, these mushrooms are pretty good. Ask your uncle to go pick some with you tomorrow. Or you can take me with you. I'll go too. We don't have enough to eat here."
Du Ruo found that Yang Chenguang had woken up and asked.
"That's enough. I can't do this anymore. If I do this again, my waist will hurt tomorrow..."
Yang Chenguang sat on the sofa, talking, with one hand on his waist and the other hand still waving.
"?"
A big question mark appeared in Du Ruo's head, and he looked at Yang Chenguang with suspicion.
"Eh? Du Ruo, why do you have such a big question mark on your head? Just like, yes, just like the question mark on the head of the NPC in the game Tian Long Ba Bu, but why isn't your question mark golden? Isn't this the main quest?"
Yang Chenguang looked curious, his eyes a little dull.
"Yes, this is poisoning."
As soon as Du Ruo saw this look, he knew that the other party had been poisoned, because he knew that Yang Chenguang had played that game more than ten years ago, but stopped playing after he got married. He usually didn't talk about this, but he suddenly said so today, and he didn't look right, so it was obvious that he was addicted.
Du Ruo muttered something, felt his body carefully again, and after confirming that he was fine, he turned off the hot pot, picked out all the beef and ate it, then went to look for his car keys.
He took his cell phone and car keys and walked out with Yang Chenguang. When they reached the door, he asked Yang Chenguang to stand by himself and he went back to the hot pot. Not afraid of the heat, he lifted the pot and drank the mushroom soup in big gulps. Halfway through the drink, he remembered something and took a box to put the rest of the soup in.
"It tastes really good. I heard that reheated mushrooms will be more poisonous. We can't waste them. Forget it, I'll keep some. I heard that you can do a test to find out what kind of mushrooms you eat can detoxify. I don't know if it's useful, but I'll take it with me anyway."
Du Ruo muttered something, then turned around to help Yang Chenguang.
"Oh my god, Du Ruo, are you from the Xiaoyao Sect? Your Qinggong is so good, you can create three clones in an instant."
Yang Chenguang walked unsteadily, pointing at Du Ruo and yelling.
"Du Ruo, slow down, don't run a red light. Stop for a moment. It's wrong to run a red light. Wait until it turns green before going."
Yang Chenguang was sitting in the back seat, leaning his head forward and pointing at a young man with red hair on the side of the road, insisting that Du Ruo wait for the red light.
"It's green, it's green, it's already green, he just didn't wear a hat, it doesn't count as running a red light."
Du Ruo responded casually and continued driving.
It didn't take long to reach the town hospital.
I went to the emergency room and was originally planning to make an appointment, but as soon as the nurse heard that the patient was suffering from mushroom poisoning, she immediately called the doctor.
The doctor asked some questions, then called a doctor who was said to be from Yunnan. He pushed Yang Chenguang out, asked Du Ruo to pay the bill, and said he needed to be hospitalized.
"This is all about the whole thing."
Du Ruo took the bill and paid the fee on his phone, but he was a little worried as he held the phone. He didn't know whether to call Yang Chenguang's father or his wife.
"Hello, Shasha, this is Du Ruo. It seems that Chen Guang ate mushrooms this morning and got poisoned. He is now in the hospital. He is said to be hospitalized... What? You are on the way? How did you know... Oh, Uncle Chen Guang is also poisoned. It's okay then. Come on over. I'm in the emergency room. I think they both ate the same mushrooms."
Du Ruo hung up the phone, not knowing whether to cry or laugh for a moment.
Not long after, Yang Chenguang's wife and his father brought Yang Chenguang's uncle to the hospital. Now both the uncle and nephew were taken to the hospital to induce vomiting.
Du Ruo had nothing to do when he was free. He had sensitive senses and didn't like the smell of the hospital, so he simply found a relatively quiet corner in the corridor and waited to see how Yang Chenguang was doing with his detoxification.
"Hah! Hah!"
A faint sound was heard, mixed with the sound of weapons breaking through the air. This aroused the interest of Du Ruo, who was originally feeling bored. He followed the sound and walked up the stairs to the top floor.
Thinking that today is Valentine's Day, there might still be people reading my novel, so I quickly updated another big chapter. If you don’t have a girlfriend, then just read one more chapter.
