"Husband, what's wrong?"
Xiang Yuanyuan was originally enjoying the feeling of flying. When she saw Du Ruo looking back, she also looked back, but saw nothing.
"It's okay, we'll be there soon."
Just now, he felt someone was peeping at him, and he couldn't help but concentrate his energy on his eyes and take a look.
That one glance allowed him to spot the plane in the sky far away.
The plane was much smaller than the fighter planes he had seen before, but he also understood why some of his affairs were known so clearly by the higher-ups.
Perhaps the drone in the sky was just a means of monitoring him, so he couldn't help but concentrate his eyes and convey the murderous aura through his eyes.
This is a witnessing technique that Du Ruo obtained, which is a kind of martial arts. He thought it was useless before, but he didn't expect to be able to use it today.
Being monitored was normal, and Du Ruo could understand that, but since he had discovered it, it was impossible for Du Ruo to have no reaction at all. He just told the other party that he had discovered it, and hoped that such a thing would not happen a second time.
"Ah."
Xiang Yuanyuan didn't think too much about it, and didn't understand how Du Ruo's glance could contain so much information. She just looked at the rocks in front of her and the stone wall not far away with some regret.
The huge rock where the clouded leopard family lives has come into view, and the flying experience is about to end.
"This... is a sin."
Du Ruo saw the clouded leopard family from a distance, but in addition to the clouded leopard family, Du Ruo actually discovered a half-familiar animal.
As for why it is half...
Du Ruo was very fast. After coming down from the forest, he crossed the long gravel road in just a few landing gears and finally arrived in front of the clouded leopard family.
However, when Du Ruo saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel at a loss for words.
"Ah, husband, this short-tailed monkey, is it..."
Xiang Yuanyuan got down from Du Ruo, looked at the familiar half figure on the boulder, and couldn't help but look at Du Ruo beside her.
"Oh, yes, that's what you were thinking."
Du Ruo smacked his lips and sighed.
In front of me, I saw a mother clouded leopard biting a short-tailed monkey with relish. Only half of the short-tailed monkey was left. Two little clouded leopards were eating some minced meat on the side, waiting pitifully for the mother clouded leopard to eat enough so that they could have a bite.
As for the macaque, Du Ruo recognized it at a glance. It was the one he had seen several times, but the one he had seen before was lively and energetic, but now... he only saw half of it.
"Meow!!"
When the clouded leopard mother saw Du Ruo, she shook her long tail and looked at Du Ruo with blood on her face. She stopped eating and came to Du Ruo's side, trying to rub Du Ruo's trouser leg with her head as usual.
When the two little clouded leopards saw that their mother had stopped eating, they immediately came over and started eating.
"Wipe your mouth first."
Du Ruo squatted down with a complicated expression and held down the clouded leopard mother's head to prevent the blood on her face from rubbing onto her body.
"..."
Xiang Yuanyuan looked at the half-remaining short-tailed monkey, then glanced at Du Ruo who had a complicated expression. She wanted to say something to comfort her, but she couldn't open her mouth.
"You are such a fool. Why did you have to eat this monkey when you could eat any other one? Not only did you eat it, but you also let me see it."
Du Ruo saw the clouded leopard start licking its paws, then use its paws to wipe the blood off its face and continue licking it, whispering.
However, there was no anger or anything in Du Ruo's words, only a hint of regret.
It's hard to comment on this kind of thing. Animals don't have such high IQs. I don't know if Du Ruo knows the short-tailed macaque. Monkeys, which are medium-sized animals, are within the hunting range of clouded leopards. Catching and eating them is just instinct.
As he spoke, Du Ruo took out a plastic bag of beef from his pocket and placed it in front of the clouded leopard mother as usual.
"Come up, honey. No more petting cats today. Let's continue upwards. Today I will teach you the Virgin School's Qi-gathering Technique."
After Du Ruo finished everything, he glanced at the two little clouded leopards that were still eating the short-tailed macaques, and then said something to Xiang Yuanyuan.
"it is good."
Xiang Yuanyuan did not hug the two clouded leopard cubs today, but watched from the side, always paying attention to the changes in Du Ruo's expression. When she saw Du Ruo stand up, she didn't say much and lay on Du Ruo's shoulder skillfully.
Du Ruo held Xiang Yuanyuan and stopped looking at the clouded leopard family. He exerted force with his legs and stomped on the stone wall a few times. Then he carried Xiang Yuanyuan to the top of the stone wall, which was above the kestrel's nest.
"Meow!!!!"
The mother clouded leopard did not eat the beef in front of her. She just looked up at the two people who were still moving upwards and called out loudly. Her voice was a little hoarse and there was some confusion in her eyes.
Because in the past, Du Ruo would always scratch it and then accompany it for a while. However, Du Ruo was too fast and soon reached the top of the stone wall. The clouded leopard mother called a few times and then stopped calling. She put her tail under her feet and continued to lick her paws.
"Calm down. You have already mastered the Shangqing breathing technique. The next step is the very important Qi-gathering technique. The Qi-gathering technique is the fundamental practice of the Virgin Girl Sect. It is very particular about the time of day and the weather. Listen carefully. This is very important..."
Du Ruo ignored the clouded leopard mother and came to the top of the stone wall. He waved his hand and swept away the snow on the ground. He found two stones for Xiang Yuanyuan to sit on and sat down beside them. He began to explain to Xiang Yuanyuan the precautions of the Virgin School's Qi-gathering technique.
Instead, Xiang Yuanyuan looked down, but her five senses were not as good as Du Ruo's. After one look, she was attracted by Du Ruo's voice and began to concentrate.
"Try not to perform Qi-gathering techniques indoors, and avoid cloudy or rainy days..."
Du Ruo explained, but for some reason, he could sit anywhere before, but today he felt that the stone under his butt was not as comfortable as sitting on the boulder.
After finishing the explanation, Du Ruo began to guide Xiang Yuanyuan to try to practice.
But this time it didn't last too long. The moment the sun rose in the sky, Du Ruo asked Xiang Yuanyuan to stop practicing.
"Okay, that's all for today. Remember the taboos of practicing Qi Gathering in the future. You can't practice after the sun rises or before the sun sets at night. It's okay to practice now, but you must remember it once you get on track."
Du Ruo continued to give instructions while waking up the minister Yuanyuan from her meditation.
"Swoosh~ke…k~"
As soon as Du Ruo finished speaking, there was a sound of breaking air, and then a falcon appeared on Du Ruo's shoulder, along with a familiar cry, and a dead mouse firmly grasped in its claws. While calling, the falcon pecked Du Ruo twice.
"Thank you, I won't eat it... and... next time you catch these things, can you please not put them on my shoulders? They'll be bloody and my clothes will be ruined when I go back."
Du Ruo looked at the mouse right in front of him and said this, but a rare smile appeared on his face.
Xiang Yuanyuan opened her eyes and watched this scene, especially when she saw the red falcon grabbing the mouse and moving it towards Du Ruo's neck, as if wanting to feed it to Du Ruo. Seeing this scene, she not only did not feel disgusted, but also smiled.
"kek!!"
When the Kestrel saw Du Ruo talking, its head began to turn to the other side. It couldn't help but call out a few more times, and its sharp beak pecked at Du Ruo's mouth.
But although it moved quickly, Du Ruo moved even faster. He stretched out his hand to block his mouth and prevented the red kestrel from succeeding.
Seeing that Du Ruo was not interested, the kestrel didn't care what Du Ruo said and just lowered its head and started pecking at the dead mouse.
Then... the red kestrel cut open the mouse on Du Ruo's shoulder, and the blood and some minced meat soaked Du Ruo's clothes.
"... OK, another piece of clothing is wasted."
Du Ruo looked at Xiang Yuanyuan helplessly, but did not move, nor did he try to drive away the red kestrel.
"It's okay. This dress doesn't fit me anymore. Let's buy a new one."
Xiang Yuanyuan smiled at the side. After Du Ruo's last transformation, he looked a little thinner and a little loose.
"But you are not allowed to hug me until you take a shower, hehe~..."
After Xiang Yuanyuan finished speaking, she couldn't help laughing. Then she sat on the stone, supporting her head and looking at the red kestrel on Du Ruo's shoulder.
She felt a little relieved when she saw a smile on Du Ruo's face.
She was not very clear about the importance of the short-tailed monkey in Du Ruo's heart, but when she saw Du Ruo's complicated expression, although she could not empathize with him, she was also a little worried about Du Ruo.
Du Ruo has very few real friends. Even with Yang Chenguang, who is her best friend, Du Ruo finds it difficult to tell her true feelings. After all, as time goes by, the topics she and Yang Chenguang talk about become fewer and fewer.
Perhaps only these mountain animals can make Du Ruo feel truly happy, and Du Ruo truly regards these animals as "friends".
And today, something like this happened, which was equivalent to one friend eating another friend. This kind of thing... Xiang Yuanyuan didn't know what Du Ruo would think.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. This is nature. I'm prepared for this day."
Du Ruo seemed to see through Xiang Yuanyuan's thoughts. He looked at the rising sun in the distance and said something. Then he turned his head to look at the red kestrel who was tearing a mouse to eat on his shoulder and said:
"But you stupid bird, be smart next time and don't get eaten by other animals. If you can't find food, come to my house. It's no problem to raise you, little guy."
"ke…e~~"
Hong Shun didn't understand what Du Ruo said. He held a piece of shredded meat in his mouth and opened his mouth to reply, but the shredded meat fell out as soon as he opened his mouth.
Du Ruo reached out, took the shredded meat and handed it to Hong Xun.
When the kestrel saw the lost shredded meat recovered, it quickly pecked it into its mouth, just like eating noodles.
"Still so stupid..."
Du Ruo touched the little head of the red kestrel and wiped the trace of blood in his hand on the red kestrel's head without making a sound.
"Then why are you bullying it..."
Xiang Yuanyuan saw this scene, rolled her eyes at Du Ruo, grabbed a handful of snow, and helped Du Ruo wipe his hands. (End of this chapter)
