Chapter 52: Setting up the training ground
"Please sit down first. There's no tea at home. There's water in the fridge. Take it yourself. I'll get you some wine."
After going upstairs, Xiang Yuanyuan asked Du Ruo to sit wherever she wanted, and then she walked towards the small room at the back.
"By the way, pack some of your dried fish for drinking. Yaya loves it."
Du Ruo looked around the room. This was his first time going upstairs.
This is a small living room with all the necessary furniture, but the most eye-catching thing is that the three walls are covered with various wines, and there are various wine bottles piled on the ground.
"It's in the refrigerator, you can pack it all and take it away."
A round voice came from the small room.
Du Ruo didn't hesitate to take out a package of packaged dried fish from the refrigerator and gave it to Yaya, asking her to eat it.
"Here~ This is already mixed, but there are a lot of precautions. The elderly, those with various underlying diseases, and those who have never drunk alcohol are not suitable for drinking medicinal wine. I will send you the precautions later. For those who are not suitable for drinking medicinal wine, you can also use methods such as external application on joints. You are an expert in this area, so I don't need to teach you.
By the way, this is the unblended tiger bone wine I left behind. It is used for external application after bruises and sprains. You can take it all."
After a while, Xiang Yuanyuan came out with some difficulty carrying a brand new jar of wine, and also a small bottle, and placed them in front of Du Ruo.
"Okay, I'll take it. I'll transfer the money to you later."
Seeing that the wine was ready, Du Ruo wanted to leave with the jar of wine. He had important things to do and didn't want to stay here any longer.
"There's no rush for money. By the way, did Ah Qi tell you?"
"Ah? What did you say?"
"Her matter has now been put on the agenda, and she will be able to come again in a few days."
While Xiang Yuanyuan was saying this, she took out a few more bags of dried fish from the refrigerator and without saying anything else, she stuffed them directly into Yaya's hands, which made Yaya very happy.
"That's great. Let me know when you get off the plane and I'll drive to pick her up. By the way, how much are these dried fish? I'll transfer them to you as well."
What made Du Ruo happy was not that Li Qiyao came, but that Li Qiyao would probably bring Panlongsi with her, and he was already impatient.
"The dried fish is free. If you don't have enough, come to my place and get some. If you really want to thank me, you can give me some beef. It's perfect for drinking."
Xiang Yuanyuan touched Yaya's head and waved her hand indifferently.
Du Ruo took the jar of wine back and left the tavern with Yaya. The first thing he did when he returned to the room was to take the stewed beef out of the refrigerator and put it on the fire to heat it up.
He was already a little hungry, and now his stomach was like a bottomless pit. It took a lot of effort to fill it up, but it would be digested in no time.
"Du Ruo, is that it? Your delivery!!"
Du Ruo had just finished eating ten pounds of stewed beef and was sitting side by side with Yaya on chairs in the yard, lazily rubbing their bellies and basking in the sun. A sound outside the yard brought Du Ruo back to his senses.
"Yes, that's me. Please bring it in."
Du Ruo saw a small tricycle parked at the gate of the yard and immediately knew that the things he ordered online had arrived, so he quickly got up and moved the parcels in with the courier. Du Ruo ordered a lot of things, and by the time the courier left, the yard was already filled with various large and small cartons.
"Yaya, get to work. You open the packages and I'll take the stuff out. Maomao, you stack the empty cartons."
……
After two hours, all the express deliveries were processed, and the yard had changed its appearance. The parasols, lounge chairs, and open space made it look very relaxing.
Now, the open space has been rearranged, with two more shelves and various training equipment added to the side.
Swords, spears, halberds, from short swords to three-meter-long spears, were all placed on the rack. In addition to weapons, there were sandbags, wooden dummies, iron tiger-mouth sticks and triangular cones, and even a plum blossom stake in the corner.
It can be said that a small training ground was set up by Du Ruo.
Generally speaking, martial arts practice is done in secret rooms, which not only protects one from being disturbed by others, but also prevents the leakage of each sect’s most core basic skills.
However, Du Ruo does not like practicing martial arts in a secret room. He prefers the spacious outdoors, where he can not only be close to nature but also overlook Mount Huangshan in the distance.
As for interruptions and leaks, Du Ruo didn't care about it at all. The knowledge in his mind was not inherited from the sect, and he never thought about passing it on. If others wanted to learn it secretly, then they could learn it secretly. It would not have any impact on him anyway. What's more, without a certain foundation in martial arts, this thing is not that easy to learn.
After arranging everything, Du Ruo was like a child who had just received a toy. He had originally been thinking about going to see if Yang Ling needed help at the front desk, but now that he had these things, Du Ruo had long forgotten about those things.
First, I practiced a set of Xingyi Liuhe Spear, then Xingyi Linked Sword, and Xingyi Five Elements Sword Technique. These are various weapons knowledge about Xingyiquan that I acquired after Du Ruo's skills reached level two. Today, I can finally put them into practice.
The whole yard was suddenly filled with the flashes of swords and sabers. The most important thing was that even though Du Ruo was using it for the first time, he was able to display the essence of it. After all, these weapons routines were derived from Xingyiquan, so with a profound Xingyiquan foundation, the use of these weapons was not a problem for Du Ruo at all.
In addition to weapons, Du Ruo also hit sandbags, practiced with the tiger's mouth stick, and even the plum blossom pile. Du Ruo did not let go and performed a set of Baguazhang on it.
Du Ruo was having a lot of fun, and Xiang Yuanyuan, who was not far away, had already recorded everything from Du Ruo's spear training to Baguazhang.
Originally, Xiang Yuanyuan just wanted to take a video of the changes in Du Ruo's yard and send it to Li Qiyao to see, but she didn't expect Du Ruo to start practicing later. For a moment, she was so fascinated that she couldn't bear to turn off the video, so she simply recorded Du Ruo's actions just now.
“Ah~ So comfortable!!”
After practicing Baguazhang, Du Ruo felt relaxed all over, and then he jumped down from the plum blossom pile which was more than one meter high.
"Hey~ Boss Du, I just took a video of you practicing martial arts. Can I post it online?"
Xiang Yuanyuan saw that Du Ruo had finished, so she lay on the balcony and asked Du Ruo.
"Please send it out. Remember to help advertise our B&B."
Du Ruo took the towel handed to him by Yaya and wiped his hands while answering Xiang Yuanyuan's words. His five senses were sharp now. He had already noticed it when Xiang Yuanyuan was filming just now, but he felt that this was just normal martial arts practice and there was nothing to hide.
Xiang Yuanyuan is actually quite a celebrity on the Internet. She often shoots videos and posts them online when she is drinking alone or hiking. With her devilish figure and generous personality, she has quite a few fans.
A big part of the reason why Du Ruo's B&B is doing good business is because it was attracted by Xiang Yuanyuan. Now that the other party wants to post a video or something, it doesn't mean any loss to Du Ruo, and it may even be beneficial to the B&B's business.
What's more, what he just showed were just some basic moves. In simple terms, he fought well and didn't cause any trouble.
