Chapter 187 The People’s Liberation Army is coming!!! "Okay, let's go downstairs now." Xiang Yuanyuan agreed immediately and pulled Du Ruo downstairs. "It's a pity for these flowers and plants. My parents-in-law will be sad if they come back. They have worked so hard to take care of them for so long, but they were uprooted overnight." The four of them went out. The small courtyard outside was almost exactly the same as the balcony. There were no flowers or plants left. Li Yuanyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Forget about the flowers and plants for now, let's go check on the car." Li Yuanyuan's husband was walking in front with the car keys in hand. When he stood outside and looked, he could see much more than when he stood upstairs, and it looked even worse. The most common things on the ground were branches and leaves. It seemed that all the leaves in the city had fallen off overnight. In addition to branches and leaves, there were all kinds of debris, even furniture and electrical appliance fragments. It is conceivable that not all homes were like Li Yuanyuan's, where only flowers and plants were affected. And there were not just leaves, there was occasionally water on the ground. Typhoons are often accompanied by rain, but fortunately there was not much rain in their area. I walked all the way until I reached the edge of the park.
"Wow~ Did they uproot such a big tree?" Xiang Yuanyuan looked at the fallen royal palm tree in the park and couldn't help but sigh. Only Du Ruo looked at a location more than ten meters away. There might have been footprints left on the tree because of his kick. However, due to the subsequent typhoon, the surface of the tree was now unrecognizable. Seeing these big trees fall to the ground, Li Yuanyuan and her husband couldn't help but quicken their pace. They couldn't imagine how much damage would be caused if such big trees fell and hit the van. "Huh~ It's okay, it's okay." The four of them passed by fallen trees and finally came to the corner of the park. A van was lying quietly on the grass. It was just as Du Ruo said, the van had been blown over and spider-web-like cracks appeared on the windshield, but it was not hit by the trees. It seemed that the location chosen yesterday was still very good. "But what should we do now? The car has flipped over and we can't drive it anymore." Li Yuanyuan squatted beside the van and looked at you through the window. Fortunately, the car glass was only damaged and not completely smashed, so no water entered. "Just straighten the car first, and then try to start it. I'll go get some more people to help lift it." Li Yuanyuan’s husband frowned and said that the best way now was to lift the overturned vehicle manually. "No need to bother, I'll do it, just move aside." Du Ruo came out at this time. The van at Li Yuanyuan's house was actually just a regular van. Du Ruo looked around and thought about how to start. "Brother Du, our van weighs more than a thousand kilograms. If we want to turn it over, I'm afraid it will take at least ten people. If it doesn't work, let's not force it. Anyway, we can't drive out now even if we turn it over." Li Yuanyuan's husband did not step back. He knew the weight of the van. Normally, it would be OK for several people to lift a corner, but if they wanted to turn it over, that was definitely not something that could be done by one person alone. Even though he knew that Du Ruo must be very powerful, after all, he still couldn't figure out how Du Ruo saved Niu Niu when he was lying in bed with Li Yuanyuan last night. But he really couldn't believe that Du Ruo could turn over such a heavy van. After all, even a world-class weightlifting champion can only lift 500 kilograms. "It doesn't hurt to try. It won't cause any secondary damage anyway." Du Ruo just smiled, thought for a moment, took off the new slippers he had just put on yesterday, and put them aside.
Xiang Yuanyuan, who was standing aside, pulled Li Yuanyuan and Li Yuanyuan's husband. She was the only one who believed in Du Ruo the most. This was already blind. Du Ruo took a deep breath, squatted down, and grabbed the horizontal pillar of the van. The "qi" in his body ran at high speed, but only within his body, and no red mist came out. "Get up~" Du Ruo roared, and dug his toes into the grass. Then he used his back to grab the crossbar of the van and stood up. The process was much easier than Du Ruo had imagined. The heaviest parts of the van were at the bottom, and the body of the van was actually very light. Du Ruo didn't need to lift the car, he just lifted it. "boom!!" The three people on the side only saw Du Ruo squatting down, and then with a force, all the muscles in his body tensed instantly, from his toes to his arms, his muscles became fibrous. However, before they could see clearly, Du Ruo had already overturned the car. And it seemed that Du Ruo used too much force and almost flipped the van to the other side again. “Eh~ Crunch~” Du Ruo didn't expect it to be so easy. He was exerting force based on the weight of a ton, but who knew that several hundred kilograms of force would be enough. Seeing that the vehicle was about to fall to the other side, Du Ruo subconsciously grabbed the car door with his fingers. Unexpectedly, the iron sheet of the car door was too thin. With a "creaking" sound, Du Ruo's fingers scratched four holes in the car door. "Um, well, sorry, I used too much force." Du Ruo stood beside the van, feeling awkward and at a loss. It seemed like his good intentions had led to a bleak outcome. Li Yuanyuan and her husband watched this scene and their mouths twitched. Good news: the car turned over. Bad news: the door, which was only slightly scratched, now had four holes and a dent. "It's okay, I have to file an insurance claim anyway. Thanks for turning the car over. I'll try to start the engine." Li Yuanyuan's husband noticed Du Ruo's embarrassment and quickly eased the atmosphere. He took out the key, got in the car and tried to start the ignition. Not to mention that the vehicle was insured, and Du Ruo had only damaged a little bit. Even if Du Ruo dismantled the van, he would definitely not show any displeasure and would only say that it was a good thing to dismantle it. After all, Du Ruo saved his uncle's family yesterday. That was a huge favor, which could not be compared with this small van. However, he was also shocked by Du Ruo's strength and the power of his fingers, which could easily tear through the iron sheet. No wonder in yesterday's video, Du Ruo could peel a green coconut like peeling an orange. But what you see in the video is not as shocking as what you see in person. Anyway, Li Yuanyuan's husband is absolutely full of admiration for Du Ruo now. Fortunately, there was no other damage to the vehicle and the ignition went smoothly. After the van was dealt with, the four people stopped gathering around and started walking home, each carrying a few coconuts and papayas. After returning home, several people surrounded Du Ruo and watched him carefully perform the method of peeling coconuts by hand. "Ah Ming, your uncle Qing is here." Several people were gathered around the sofa when Li Fusheng shouted at the door. As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Bo came in with an old woman, who should be his wife, followed by his son and daughter-in-law, and holding the little girl from yesterday. "Thank you for saving my life, benefactor."
When Qing Bo saw Du Ruo, he bent his knees without saying a word and wanted to kneel down. "No, it was just a piece of cake yesterday. There's no need to do this. There's no need to do this. Uncle Li, please help me." Du Ruo was quick and came to Qingbo and the old woman immediately. He put his hands on them, and Qingbo and his wife's knees were suspended in the air, unable to kneel down. But his daughter-in-law, son and even the little girl all knelt down, and it seemed that they were going to kowtow to Du Ruo. Du Ruo had no choice but to ask others to help them. "Thanks to Yuanyuan for taking us in yesterday, saving people was a piece of cake. Everyone, get up quickly." After much persuasion, they were finally able to stand up. "My benefactor, we originally wanted to ask the elders of our tribe to preside over the ceremony and bring some animals to express our gratitude, but the typhoon has been very disturbing to everyone, so we decided not to bother others. However, you must accept these things." Qing Bo spoke at this time, but while he was speaking, he had already asked his wife to bring a lot of things, big and small packages, cigarettes, alcohol, gifts, and even some live chickens and ducks, piling up quite a lot. "Uncle Qing, we'll take the cigarettes and alcohol, and you can take these chickens and ducks back. In this situation, it may not be convenient to buy food. You can bring them all here. The whole family will have to eat in the next few days, so just take them back." Du Ruo had a headache seeing these things, but seeing Qing Bo's determined look, he could only accept some of them. "This……" Just as Qing Bo was about to speak, a loud shout like thunderous applause came faintly from outside, instantly attracting everyone's attention. "The People's Liberation Army is coming!!! The People's Liberation Army is coming!!!" The sound was faint and came from far away, but it was heard by many people at the same time, so everyone could hear it clearly. "Go, have a look." Du Ruo winked at Xiang Yuanyuan, then pulled Qingbo out. He was too lazy to be a lobbyist, and didn't like arguing with others about these things, so he simply diverted attention and asked Xiang Yuanyuan to return the chickens, ducks and other things. "Go to the third floor. The view is clear there." Obviously, Qingbo, Li Fusheng and others were also attracted by the noise outside and all wanted to go outside. However, Li Yuanyuan reacted quickly and asked everyone to go to the balcony on the third floor. However, the exit was blocked and they definitely couldn't see clearly. Arriving at the third-floor balcony, everyone looked out and could see from a distance that many people were starting to walk onto the streets. Further away, a row of people in camouflage uniforms formed a long queue and began to clean up the streets that were devastated after the typhoon. "Wife, is your porridge ready? Let's have a bowl of porridge quickly, then go to the street and clean up the street together." Li Fusheng looked at the camouflage uniforms on the street in the distance, and his originally worried heart suddenly calmed down. He shouted loudly, his voice full of energy. “Yes, go to the streets and clean up the streets.” Qing Bo also echoed the statement. After such a natural disaster, nothing can be more inspiring and comforting than seeing the people's soldiers. Du Ruo and his friends ate something casually, then the woman started to clean up her yard, and the man went to the street with tools. When I got to the street, I found that other families were doing the same thing. No one had a sad look on their faces. They each took a tool and started cleaning the street. (End of this chapter)
