The villagers were very curious about the new person in the village and inquired about him, but they didn't find out anything. Many villagers had seen Duan Yuming, and some even went to the village chief, wondering if it was a bad thing that a stranger had suddenly appeared in the village.
The village chief thought these people were just idle and had nothing better to do than peek at other people's affairs. "Don't worry," he said, "the team leader and I have seen the letter of introduction for the person staying at Dr. Huang's house; there's no problem with his identity. How could there be a problem? That person has military identification and a letter of introduction."
Unable to get any information from the village chief, the group returned home somewhat disappointed. So, all they knew about the man living in Doctor Huang's house was that he was a middle-aged man—tall and imposing, with bronze skin, a square face, a stern and upright demeanor, and sharp, piercing eyes. His mere presence was enough to frighten even the most timid children.
So the whole village was buzzing with rumors that a man with a face as dark as Bao Zheng, a burly build like an ox, and a menacing gaze had come to Doctor Huang's house. The village children were so frightened by Duan Yuming that they ran away in all directions, the more timid ones crying and screaming as they went.
At her master's house, Su Xingran looked at Duan Yuming sitting in front of her. Thinking of the rumors circulating in the village, she laughed so hard she clutched her stomach, which ached from laughing. "Uncle Duan," she said, "where did those people get their conclusions? They say you have a face like Bao Zheng, a body like an ox, and you're fierce. They even say you scare children so much they run away or cry at the sound of your voice."
Duan Yuming was also frustrated. He would occasionally go up the mountain to see if he could hunt some pheasants or rabbits to add to his meal. He would encounter some villagers when he went out, but since they didn't know each other, he didn't bother them. How did it become what they described?
He looked at Su Xingran, who was clutching her stomach and laughing, and a helpless smile crept onto his lips. Let them say what they want; it's not like he's lost a piece of his body. Military discipline is strict; soldiers must be self-disciplined and disciplined. Military training is serious and doesn't tolerate any frivolity, so over time, the muscles in their faces develop a serious demeanor.
The main reason the villagers had this perception was because of Duan Yuming. Standing over 1.9 meters tall, with well-developed and muscular physiques, he continued to train daily even after his military service. His skin, tanned from years of training and sun exposure during his time in the army, had developed a bronze color. Soldiers tend to be very focused, giving them a sharp and incisive look.
Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. In these six months, Su Xingran has grown a lot. Her height, weight, and appearance have all changed significantly. At the time of the Lunar New Year, she was 1.52 meters tall, and now she is 1.57 meters tall. At the time of the Lunar New Year, she weighed about 65 kilograms, and now she weighs about 70 kilograms.
Su Xingran's face has matured considerably. She resembles both her father and mother, but her features are more refined. Before, she was just a pretty little girl with delicate features; now, her eyes and face clearly show she's a young beauty. Good-looking people are often blessed with good looks; she inherited the best features of her parents and even surpassed them in beauty.
Besides changes in height, weight, and appearance, Su Xingran's physical condition has also improved significantly. Every morning, she follows the exercise plan Duan Yuming created for her, and after dinner in the evening, she lifts dumbbells, does push-ups, and sit-ups in her space.
Now, Su Xingran's arm muscles are noticeably defined, her strength has increased significantly, her flexibility and joint mobility have improved considerably, and her endurance has also improved a lot. Duan Yuming, unaware that Su Xingran had some kind of special ability, was impressed by her progress at home after only six months of training, and remarked that she was a promising talent.
