Chapter 191 The tiger demon has become a spirit?
"Hic~ No, I feel a little confused."
After leaving the wine cellar, Du Ruo couldn't help but guard the threshold and said something.
"Are you drunk? Don't fall."
Xiang Yuanyuan looked nervous and came over to support Du Ruo, fearing that he would fall and get hurt.
People who drink have very weak control over their bodies. After being anesthetized by alcohol, they lose their instinctive protection. In this case, any bumps or collisions will be very serious.
These people are very experienced.
"No, don't help me, you can't help me, I..."
Du Ruo stretched out his hand to stop Xiang Yuanyuan from getting closer. He knew the condition of his body. He weighed more than 300 kilograms and was extremely strong. He might not even need to use any strength to crush Xiang Yuanyuan's bones. After Du Ruo said this, he glanced around and then pointed to a small pavilion at the edge of the yard and said:
"Yuanyuan, please clear out the things in the gazebo. I'll go there and take a nap for a while."
"Okay, okay, wait a moment, I'll go clean up now."
Xiang Yuanyuan listened to whatever Du Ruo said, because she knew Du Ruo must have her own reasons. After she finished speaking, she hurried over and moved the table and lounge chairs in the pavilion away somewhat roughly, and Xiang Yuanzhang also took out a mat from the side and spread it on the ground.
Although Du Ruo's eyelids felt heavy, he was still trying to let the "spirit" flow through his body, restraining himself from falling asleep.
If he fell to the ground, the four members of the Xiang family would not be able to lift him unless they used a trailer.
Holding on to the wall, Du Ruo waited for Xiang Yuanyuan to tidy up the pavilion before he walked over.
At this moment, Du Ruo's face looked normal, and he was still walking like the wind. His back was as straight as before. Except for his slightly squinting eyes, it could be said that there was no difference from before.
"Wait a minute, I'll get you a pillow."
Xiang Yuanyuan saw Du Ruo lying on the mat, and fearing that he was not sleeping comfortably, she quickly ran into the house.
"Hey~ Why are you in such a hurry? Where's Xiao Du? It's time to eat."
Xiang's mother just came out of the house and almost bumped into Xiang Yuanyuan. She said something to Xiang Yuanyuan, then looked back, looking for Du Ruo's figure.
"Dugo is drunk, I'll go get a pillow."
Xiang Yuanyuan said this and then ran towards the room without looking back.
"Ah? Why are you drunk? Wasn't he fine when I checked earlier?"
It was only then that Xiang's mother noticed Xiang Yuanzhang standing in the pavilion. When she walked over, she saw that Du Ruo was lying on the mat with his eyes closed.
Du Ruo does not sleep lying straight, but on his side with his back slightly bent, legs curled up, one hand under his head and the other hand in front of his body. This posture makes him look very relaxed.
In fact, Du Ruo was not just drunk. Being drunk generally means alcohol poisoning, and it is an acute poisoning.
Considering Du Ruo's current physical condition, he would not feel anything after eating the poisonous mushrooms, so the toxins in the alcohol would naturally have no effect.
Du Ruo's current condition is more of a case of being drunk from food, which means his body is too full. Most people can absorb three-quarters of the medicinal power of Chinese medicine, but when drinking medicinal wine, under the effect of the wine, only six to eight percent of the medicinal power can be absorbed after drinking it. However, Du Ruo has a special physique, and his absorption rate of the medicine is amazing.
So now Du Ruo needs to concentrate his "energy" to absorb and digest, so Du Ruo did not lose control of his body before.
Otherwise, with Du Ruo's physical condition, if he gets drunk and goes crazy, it will be completely unimaginable. In fact, if Du Ruo forces himself to cheer up, he can overcome this state, but he may not be able to absorb the medicinal power perfectly, so he might as well have a good sleep.
"Here comes the pillow."
Xiang Yuanyuan took the pillow and came to Du Ruo, wanting to lift Du Ruo's head and then put the pillow away, but after trying for a long time, Du Ruo didn't move at all.
"Yuanyuan, don't worry. I'm not drunk. Hiccup~ It's just that the medicine is too strong. I need to absorb and digest it well, so don't worry too much. Huh~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
Du Ruo forced himself to stay awake, grabbed Xiang Yuanyuan's hand and said something, then let go of Xiang Yuanyuan's hand. He completely relaxed and his breathing began to become unusually long and heavy.
"It's okay, Yuanyuan. What Xiao Du said makes sense. It was my fault. I was only paying attention to whether he was drunk or not, and completely forgot about the medicinal properties of these medicinal wines."
Xiang Yuanzhang comforted Xiang Yuanyuan. In fact, it was not his fault. No one had ever thought that there were people who could not get drunk after drinking medicinal wine and then drink it until their bodies were "full".
Most people will just get drunk and won’t experience any of the effects of the accumulated drugs.
“Hurulu~~”
Xiang Yuanyuan gradually felt relieved after listening to her grandfather's analysis, but before long, Du Ruo's breathing became heavier.
And slowly it was no longer a breathing sound, but gradually turned into snoring.
"This sound? It's so weird, it's like..."
Xiang Yuanzhang listened to Du Ruo's snoring and couldn't help but frowning.
Most ordinary people's snoring sounds come from their throats and mouths, but Du Ruo's snoring starts from the abdomen, and the abdomen and chest cavity resonate. This resonance is very strong, and several people who listened to it felt a tingling sensation in their bones.
"This is the snoring of a clouded leopard." When Xiang Yuanyuan heard the snoring, she immediately thought of the sound of a clouded leopard when it was sleeping.
She had slept with a clouded leopard in her arms before, so she had a very deep understanding of the feeling and was somewhat familiar with the vibration.
"No, this is more like the snoring of a tiger. Clouded leopards don't have such a strong deterrent effect. And if you listen carefully, there were insects chirping around us earlier."
Xiang Yuanzhang stood aside, listening to Du Ruo's snoring and felt goose bumps all over his body, as if the person sleeping on the mat was not a human but a living tiger.
When the others heard Xiang Yuanzhang's words, they immediately noticed that when Du Ruo's snoring sounded, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. The chirping of insects that was as lively as a symphony orchestra disappeared at this moment.
"Okay, this shouldn't be a bad thing, maybe..."
Xiang Yuanzhang hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly paused. He looked at Du Ruo lying on the ground and couldn't utter a word.
Not only him, but Xiang Yuanyuan and Xiang's mother, who had been paying attention to Du Ruo, were also unable to say a word. They just felt the hair on their bodies stand on end, and subconsciously took a step back.
Du Ruo's snoring became heavier and heavier, and then a red mist emerged from Du Ruo's body. The red mist lingered around Du Ruo, and occasionally, it would playfully follow Du Ruo's breathing, entering and exiting his nostrils or mouth.
Soon, the fog became thicker and thicker, gradually covering Duruo and taking the shape of a tiger. The tiger was nearly two meters long, transparent light red in color, and was sleeping on the ground in the same posture as Duruo.
Even the exceptionally long tail would occasionally swing.
If they hadn't seen the smile on the sleeping Du Ruo's face through the transparent pink tiger's body, they might have thought that some supernatural event had occurred.
"I've seen Du Ge in a similar state, but that was when his fingers had the phantom of an eagle's claw. This is the first time I've seen a tiger like this."
Xiang Yuanyuan swallowed her saliva and explained to her mother and grandfather that she had never suspected that Du Ruo had mutated or anything like that.
"Huh~ It should be some special skill. There is a canopy at home. Set it up and cover the surroundings. Go and lock the gate to the yard. Don't see anyone today."
Xiang Yuanzhang let out a long sigh, then regained his composure and began to give orders.
"Mom, where is my dad?"
Xiang Yuanyuan ran over and locked the yard door, and when she came back she saw her mother and grandfather setting up the canopy, and couldn't help but ask a question.
"I drank too much at noon, and now I'm sleeping like a dead pig. Don't worry about him, come and give me a hand."
While Xiang's mother was speaking, she pushed back her long hair by her ears and began to direct Xiang Yuanyuan to start working.
It is said to be a canopy, but in fact it is just using cloth to slightly cover the four sides of the pavilion so that people from outside cannot see the whole picture from a distance, but it does not completely block it. If the breeze blows and you get close, you can still see clearly inside.
The three of them were very careful when doing this, for fear of waking Du Ruo up.
After finishing all this, Xiang Yuanzhang and his mother observed for a long time, but finally they couldn't hold on any longer and went back to their room to sleep.
Xiang Yuanyuan did not leave. She took a mat and a palm-leaf fan and just watched Du Ruo sleep.
Gradually, Xiang Yuanyuan discovered that the tiger's shadow seemed to be synchronized with Du Ruo's movements.
Du Ruo occasionally licked his lips, and the tiger shadow did the same. Du Ruo occasionally moved his feet, and the tiger's claws would move in the same way.
"I just don't know where Brother Du is moving when the big axe's tail moves."
As Xiang Yuanyuan thought about it, she became more and more sleepy, and could not help but slowly close her eyes.
The main reason was that the vibration of Du Ruo's snoring was too strong. Lying on the side, she felt numb all over and very comfortable, and she fell sleepy unknowingly.
"Ha~ I slept so well yesterday. I haven't slept so comfortably in a long time."
Early in the morning, the husband got up from the bed and stretched comfortably. He was the only one in the bed, as the mother had already gone to prepare breakfast.
I drank deer antler wine at noon yesterday. Deer antler wine is very nutritious, especially for middle-aged people. Its effect is only slightly worse than tiger penis wine.
After drinking at noon, he paid his grain tax and then fell into a deep sleep.
Originally he couldn't sleep that long and would wake up after a short rest. But for some reason, it was as if there was a cat sleeping next to him. When he heard the sound, he didn't want to get up and slept until dawn.
He opened the door and walked out, just about to go to the front of the house to stretch his body.
When I walked out of the hall, I saw that the pavilion was blocked.
"Eh? You young people are really good at having fun, huh? Did you sleep in the pavilion yesterday?"
Xiang's father came closer and saw that Du Ruo was sitting on the mat, watching Xiang Yuanyuan sleep. Xiang Yuanyuan was sleeping soundly on her side, but she had no image at all. Because she was lying on her side, her saliva was all over the mat.
