778 Strange Lake
“I like stones. I want to collect more and choose some good ones. The excavation requires special tools. It’s very tiring. Thank you, Young Master Li. Can you bring me to the strange lake?”
Su Xiaolu looked at Li Kuo and asked.
Li Kuo looked troubled and said, “Miss Zhao, that strange lake stinks.”
If he brought a good-looking girl to the strange lake, she would definitely have a bad impression of him.
Su Xiaolu said seriously, “I’m not afraid of the stench, really.”
Li Kuo gritted his teeth and nodded. “Alright, I’ll bring you over to take a look later.”
Miss Zhao was really good-looking. No matter how he looked at her, she looked good. Li Kuo thought to himself that this must be the feeling of having a crush.
She was a beautiful, ostentatious, and cute woman.
Just looking at her made his heart beat faster. This must be love at first sight.
‘I want to marry her. I’ve decided on her.’ Li Kuo’s thoughts surged.
Su Xiaolu did not notice his change and focused on eating.
After dinner, she said eagerly to Li Kuo, “Young Master Li, are you full? Let’s go.”
Li Kuo was a little stunned. He felt his face heat up and nodded. “I’m full.”
‘Miss Zhao is concerned about whether I’m full. She’s such a good person.’
“Then let’s go.”
Su Xiaolu stood up. She did not know if the lake was deep. With the conch given by the merpeople, it should not be a problem for her to go into the water.
Li Kuo nodded and got up to leave with his attendant, Bu Mo.
The three of them left together.
It was a little colder, but the scenery was still beautiful.
Li Kuo tested her and asked, “Miss Zhao, who else is in your family?”
Without waiting for Su Xiaolu to answer, in order to show his sincerity, Li Kuo said, “I have a brother at home called Li Hai. My mother originally wanted to give birth to four children and name them Hai, Kuo, Tian and Kong1, but unfortunately, after giving birth to me, her body was injured and she couldn’t give birth anymore.”
Su Xiaolu smiled. “Then if it’s my family, we can do that. I have two brothers and an elder sister.”
Li Kuo was quite interesting. The young man was bright. When he smiled, he looked especially good and warm.
Looking at his smile, Su Xiaolu felt a sense of familiarity. She thought of her Little Junior Brother. The first time she saw Little Niu, he was also smiling so warmly.
However, later on, such a bright and warm smile could no longer be seen on his face.
In the blink of an eye, almost two years had passed. She wondered how Little Niu was doing now.
Master had said that no news was the best news.
“Really? That’s great. Miss Zhao, where do you live? Perhaps I’ll go to your place in the future. I can look for you then.”
Li Kuo asked. He looked at Su Xiaolu and felt that his heart was about to jump out.
Miss Zhao wouldn’t think that he was rude and frivolous, right? Was a good time for him to ask now. What if Miss Zhao didn’t want to say it? Would she be in a difficult position?
In just a few seconds, Li Kuo had imagined a lot.
Su Xiaolu smiled at him and said, “Sure.”
Su Xiaolu told Li Kuo where her master used to live in the capital. If there was a letter, she could go and get it. She did not know Li Kuo yet. When she knew him better and felt that they were suitable to be friends, she would tell Li Kuo her real name.
Li Kuo was very excited. He remembered it firmly, afraid that he would forget.
Bu Mo looked at his young master’s infatuated expression and pursed his lips.
Li Kuo brought Su Xiaolu out of the city. Seeing Su Xiaolu raise her whip on the horse, Li Kuo was even more infatuated.
Miss Zhao was really amazing. Not only was she good-looking, but she was also good at riding.
Li Kuo paid attention to his appearance, but when they arrived at the strange lake, he still frowned and said to Su Xiaolu, “Miss Zhao, this is it.”
The strange lake really smelled bad. When they got closer, a stench filled the air.
Li Kuo couldn’t take it anymore and retched.
Bu Mo also covered his mouth and nose with a bitter expression. Why did such a good girl like stinky stones? Young Master, wake up.
Su Xiaolu also felt like vomiting. It really smelled bad. The smell of rot and all kinds of sour smells mixed together. However, this lake looked very wide. The Interface Stones were of various sizes. Even if the lake water smelled bad, she had to go into the lake.
Su Xiaolu took out a silver needle and inserted it into herself.
“Miss Zhao, you, you know how to perform acupuncture?”
Li Kuo’s eyes were about to light up. Why was Miss Zhao so amazing?
She was so fast just now that he didn’t see it clearly, but he was mesmerized.
Su Xiaolu was speechless.
She was really a little embarrassed by Li Kuo’s praise.
She smiled. “A little. Do you want me to do it for you? You won’t be able to smell this stench then.”
The smell of this strange lake was really bad. Su Xiaolu felt that she could not hold on for a moment without sealing her sense of smell.
No wonder no one came to this deserted area. This stench made people avoid it.
Li Kuo was about to agree when Bu Mo spoke first. “Young Master, you can’t. You can’t have acupuncture so carelessly.”
‘My young master, wake up. Miss Zhao might have learned it on her own. What if she hurt you? What should I do?’
Bu Mo deeply understood that once his young master fell in love, his brain would definitely be gone. After hearing him talk about it for so many years, he had never liked anyone. It was simply fatal to fall in love all of a sudden.
Hearing Bu Mo’s words, Su Xiaolu only smiled faintly. She was just asking. She did not force him.
Li Kuo pulled Bu Mo behind him and looked at Su Xiaolu seriously. “Miss Zhao, help me.”
For the sake of the girl she liked, he was not afraid of anything. It was just a prick. What could go wrong?
Bu Mo really wanted to stop him and make Li Kuo sober up and calm down. However, Li Kuo looked like he was infatuated with Miss Zhao and could do anything she said. Bu Mo felt powerless.
With Young Master’s brain completely sucked dry, he probably wouldn’t be able to wake up.
Su Xiaolu did not stand on ceremony. She took a silver needle and inserted it quickly and steadily.
Li Kuo pursed his lips and thought for a while before saying, “I don’t feel anything at all.”
It didn’t hurt or itch. Why was it completely different from what he had thought?
“Do you still smell anything?”
Su Xiaolu smiled and asked.
Li Kuo exclaimed and looked at Su Xiaolu in surprise. “Miss Zhao, you’re amazing. I really can’t smell it anymore. I can’t smell any stench now. You’re really amazing.”
“Bu Mo, quickly come and let Miss Zhao do it for you.”
Li Kuo spoke to Bu Mo.
Bu Mo hurriedly waved his hand. “Young Master, it’s okay. I think I can tolerate this stench.”
Young Master’s mind was not clear, but he was very clear-headed. How could it be so exaggerated? Even Doctor Li had to think seriously about acupuncture. Young Master could not smell it, so there might be a problem with the acupuncture. Young Master was obsessed with Miss Zhao, so he was out of his mind. Although it smelled bad, he could bear it.
