Lu Guoan had no interest in eating fruit.
"Tell me, what is Xiaoxi's purpose in inviting me here?"
Xiaoxi smiled, picked a lotus pod from the side of the thatched hall, and scooped out the lotus seeds.
She tossed her small hand upwards, and all the lotus seeds leaped into the air. Suddenly, a flash of silver light appeared, and silver needles shot out like rain.
In an instant, the lotus seeds landed on the stone table, and the eighteen lotus seeds were arranged in the shape of a five-pointed star, with a silver needle inserted into each lotus seed!
"Impressive skills!" Lu Guoan couldn't help but exclaim.
"So Uncle Lu, just relax and get your leg treated here!"
Xiao Xi's skills had impressed Lu Guoan. He laughed, picked up a strawberry, and took a bite.
He, who didn't like eating fruit, was suddenly captivated by its sweet aroma.
Most importantly, he found that eating just one bite of strawberry actually relieved a lot of the pain in his knee.
"Xiaoxi, how long are we going to stay here?"
"Uncle Lu, soon, just three days, the world inside is now in the morning of the first day."
Xiao Xi blinked her big eyes at Lu Guoan.
"Besides, if she doesn't stay for three days, Xiaoxi doesn't know how she'll get out."
Lu Guoan remained silent, watching Xiao Xi's mischievous smile.
Unexpectedly, this battle-hardened man found himself completely defenseless, feeling as if he had been lured in by a young girl.
Oh well, what's done is done.
The little girl meant no harm and is quite capable; she might actually be able to cure her leg.
Just as Lu Guoan was thinking this, Xu Fu came along the bluestone road, pulling a cart and making a lot of noise.
"Xiaoxi, this place is amazing! The pavilion has everything you could possibly need."
Look, I actually found tea leaves and teaware! There's even a spring in the yard. I've fetched some water; let's make some tea.
Xu Fu brought not only tea sets, but also blankets, several cushions, a small red clay stove, and everything else.
“That’s great, Grandpa Xu. You can make some tea while I give Uncle Lu acupuncture.”
By this time, Lu Guoan had tasted all the fruits Xiao Xi had brought and felt refreshed; his knees no longer hurt.
Xiao Xi laid Lu Guoan's legs flat on the stone bench and placed a cushion under his legs.
Lu Guoan saw Xiao Xi wave her hand, and all the silver needles stuck in the lotus seeds on the stone table returned to her hand.
Xiaoxi then took out a colorful glass lamp.
After all the silver needles were heated over a glass lamp, Xiaoxi inserted them one by one into various acupoints on his legs.
That technique was truly masterful and precise.
Even Xu Fu, who had witnessed Xiao Xi administering acupuncture, was amazed.
The heat emanating from each silver needle sent a tingling sensation through Lu Guoan's legs, a feeling of indescribable comfort and pleasure!
"Uncle Lu, as long as you receive acupuncture for three consecutive days, your legs will be able to walk as fast as you can!"
Lu Guoan is now completely relieved.
He was already sipping tea even with silver needles stuck in his leg.
The water is exceptionally sweet, the tea is rare in the world, and the sunshine is warm, without any of the summer heat.
The fog dissipated, and the colorful paintings on the pavilions and towers were clearly visible.
Soon, the morning of treatment was over.
"Uncle Lu, Xiaoxi brought vegetables she grew herself. These vegetables, like the fruits, are full of spirit."
"I'll cook!"
Xu Fu hurriedly exclaimed, "Xiao Xi's hands are those of a medical genius, how can she be working in the kitchen?"
It's not good that someone is cooking, so Xiaoxi quickly took out some vegetables and handed them to Xu Fu.
Xu Fu returned to the kitchen, cooked the rice, and began to prepare the dishes.
Xu Fu's cooking skills were surprisingly good. Although he hadn't cooked for many years, he was willing to go through fire and water for Xiao Xi.
The dishes made with spiritual vegetables and rice cooked with spring water caused Lu Guoan, who had a poor appetite, to eat two extra bowls.
