817 The owner of Herb Island
The figure in blue is none other than the housekeeper’s mother-in-law, her wife who disappeared on the stormy night twenty years ago, Zhao Lanlan!
The housekeeper's mother-in-law, who had always been reserved, had tears streaming down her face. Looking at the figure in blue on the hillside, she also shouted: "Husband! I am Zhao Lanlan, I am back!"
Zhao Lanlan flew to the island owner and threw herself into his arms.
"Lanlan!" The island owner also burst into tears.
He hugged his wife tightly and smelled her breath. His wife, who he had missed for twenty years, was finally back.
"Where have you been?!" As a man, he shouldn't cry like a woman. The island owner quickly wiped away his tears and looked at Zhao Lanlan.
Zhao Lanlan blinked, of course he couldn't tell the truth.
She made up a lie and said: "I went to a very mysterious place to practice cultivation. I can only come back to visit you when I have free time today."
Zhao Lanlan burst into tears as she spoke.
"Where are you going?!" Faced with Zhao Lanlan's embarrassed expression, the island owner became even more confused.
"Don't ask any more questions... I was also kidnapped, but after I went there, my life was pretty good." Zhao Lanlan said trying her best to cover up.
The island owner released his hands, squatted down and slowly dug the ginseng, and said: "I have been waiting for you for twenty years, and you came back, but you didn't tell the truth."
Zhao Lanlan nodded and said with tears in her eyes: "And I can only come back to see you. I will go back soon."
"What?!" The island owner was stunned.
He looked at Zhao Lanlan for a moment, then lowered his head to dig out the ginseng. He soon dug out a piece of ginseng with a beard that was more than three feet long.
"Did you see it? We planted this together when you left. Now the ginseng can be harvested, but you still have to leave here. So, what are you doing back here?!" the island owner said coldly.
Facing the island owner's distrust, Zhao Lanlan's heart was broken.
She covered her face and cried while saying: "Haba, I told you everything, but you are absolutely not allowed to mess around."
The island owner nodded and agreed to his wife's request.
Zhao Lanlan told the story of how she was kidnapped by the Northern Demon God and how she spent the past twenty years without any secret.
The owner of the herb island was originally full of atmosphere, but after hearing the last word, his expression changed drastically and he was surprised again and again. After Zhao Lanlan finished speaking, he asked blankly: "Do you really want to leave me?"
Zhao Lanlan nodded, holding back tears, and said: "But in a hundred years, we can be reunited. This is what the Northern Demon God promised me."
The island owner shook his head repeatedly, thinking: How can one trust the words of those demon gods? But he could not fight against this powerful demon god, so he had to say: "Do we really have to wait a hundred years?"
Zhao Lanlan smiled bitterly and said: "But if I think about it, as long as we abide by the rules and keep this secret, maybe... maybe I can come back for a few days every year."
The island owner couldn't help laughing and had to accept this reality.
He really couldn't laugh or cry, and felt sad and happy at the same time.
"By the way, do you have any news about your daughter?" Zhao Lanlan said.
The island owner showed a hint of relief on his face and said: "Last year, when the Ironwood envoy came over, he said that our daughter had grown up and would be taken to the Imperial Capital Island."
Zhao Lanlan asked in surprise: "Why are you going to Imperial Island? Why don't you come back to Herbal Island after practicing?!"
The island owner sighed and said: "The Ironwood Messenger said that this is the rule of the Imperial Capital Island. If Zhao Xiaoli is chosen by the Immortal as his wife and concubine, it will be our family's luck."
"This child's name is Zhao Xiaoli? Can you name her?" Zhao Lanlan was very excited when she heard the news about her daughter.
She also prepared for the worst. If her daughter didn't die, she would stay strong and live a good life with her husband. Unexpectedly, her daughter didn't die, which was great news. But when she went to Imperial Capital Island, she was with those great immortals.
Together, wouldn’t it be like becoming their plaything?!
She frowned, holding back the pain in her heart.
The island owner smiled lightly and said: "I didn't choose this name. But it happens to have the same surname as you, so it's not wrong."
Zhao Lanlan nodded, and the two of them took the big ginseng tree and slowly walked up the hillside towards the Earth Temple.
Liu San and Xiao Yazhi were shocked. They never expected that Zhao Xiaoli was the daughter of the owner of the Herb Island. Moreover, they did not know that Zhao Xiaoli's current situation had completely betrayed the Imperial Capital Island.
This is really strange. Zhao Xiaoli and Zhao Kui are obviously brothers and sisters, so why did such a big change suddenly occur? Then who is Zhao Kui? I used to think that they were from Nan'ao Island, but now it seems that everything is different
Maybe it's a lie.
Liu San smiled bitterly and said: "It turns out that Zhao Xiaoli and Zhao Kui are not biological siblings."
Xiao Yazhi nodded and said, "Who is Zhao Kui? Did he also transfer to Nan'ao Island from outside?"
"Yes." Liu San said doubtfully: "Nanao Island is such a shabby place, why do you want to go to Nan'ao Island?"
These mysteries cannot be solved, but it is a worthwhile trip.
Now, they not only discovered the mystery of Zhao Kui and Zhao Xiaoli's life experience, but also learned the secret of the Black Crow Kung Fu. At the same time, they also confirmed the Black Crow tribe's intention to dominate the sea. They are trying to understand everything on the sea and understand everything in the sea.
their emotions in order to control them later.
Liu Sanyuan looked at the backs of Zhao Lanlan and his wife and said, "It's time for us to go back and tell everyone all this."
The two quietly left the Herb Island and flew towards the vast sea, towards Peach Blossom Island.
***
At this time, Zhao Lanlan and the island owner returned to the Earth Temple where they once lived.
Zhao Lanlan took out the dried ginseng from her arms and said, "Husband, in the past twenty years, I have been looking at this ginseng to survive a lot of loneliness."
The island owner lovingly stroked her still silky long hair and placed the newly dug ginseng on the ground. As he waved his palms, the soil on the surface of the newly unearthed ginseng peeled off.
"Over the years, I have developed a medicine that can keep people young." He took out a glass bottle from the corner of the Earth Temple, which contained some granular blue pills.
The island owner said: "I have prepared these with the finest medicinal materials. Take one pill every day to refresh your mind."
As he spoke, he wrapped the new ginseng in dried banana leaves and handed it to Zhao Lanlan.
Zhao Lanlan looked at the old look on the island owner's face and the blue clothes on her body. Naturally, it was because she missed herself. She sighed and said, "It's been twenty years, are you still alone?"
The island owner did not speak, but asked: "How long will it take for you to come back?"
Zhao Lanlan was stunned for a moment, then whispered: "It will be about eighty years later."
"Oh." The island owner replied in a low voice.
"You'd better find another woman. I...I won't blame you." Zhao Lanlan said. This is something she has considered for a long time.
She had also thought about whether the island owner had already found another woman. Seeing that he was still alone, she was impressed by her husband's perseverance and persuaded him to find another woman to accompany him.
The island owner smiled bitterly and said: "Lanlan, you are so kind. But in my heart, after all these years, I still can't get rid of your shadow. Now that I know you are safe, of course I will continue to wait for you to come back."
Zhao Lanlan was moved in her heart and said: "I am also speaking from my heart. It will take us eighty years to truly reunite. It is still a long time."
The island owner didn't speak anymore, and gently hugged Zhao Lanlan, and the two sat down in front of the Tutu Temple.
They looked up at the white clouds on the hillside and smelled the grass-scented breeze blowing by. They were as leisurely and comfortable as they were twenty years ago.
Although such a time is short, it only takes a moment of aftertaste to rekindle the warmth in their hearts.
Time like this passes very quickly, and it will soon be dusk.
Zhao Lanlan stood up, gently shook off the island owner's arm, and said: "I...I'm going back. I'm so happy to see you this time...Maybe, maybe I can come back to see you next year."
The island owner's nose felt sour, and he hugged Zhao Lanlan forcefully and said, "Well, I will wait for you to come back."
"I really have to leave. I have to go back on time so that we can meet again in the future. Otherwise the devil will be angry." Zhao Lanlan broke away from the island owner's embrace again.
She took the new ginseng tree and the glass bottle of pills, gritted her teeth and flew away from the Earth Temple.
The island owner raised his head and watched Zhao Lanlan slowly fly away and disappear into the vast sea.
The sky gradually darkened, and the entire sea hid in the darkness. The island owner stood alone in front of the Earth Temple, without moving a step for a long time.
Little did he know that there was a pair of eyes in a nearby bush, staring closely at the island owner. These eyes saw the whole process of his and Zhao Lanlan's brief reunion, and tears filled their eyes...
***
The island owner stood there blankly until late at night, then slumped back to the Tutu Temple.
But when he reached the door, he stopped.
Because he saw an extra person in the Earth Temple. A woman wearing a long dress with blue flowers on a white background, a stunning beauty.
This woman is squatting in the small hall of the Earth Temple, which is not very spacious, and is dazzlingly reflected by this woman's peerless appearance.
Of course, this is how the island owner felt when he first saw her.
She squatted on the ground, holding the old ginseng tree left by Zhao Lanlan in her hand.
There were also faint tears in her eyes, which made the island owner a little confused. Who is this woman who suddenly appeared?
He asked cautiously: "Excuse me, girl, how did you get here?"
Because this is the earth temple on the herbal island, people from other islands often come to pray and ask for some elixirs to go back and treat patients.
"Do you need ginseng? I can't give you this one. It was left by my wife. I'll give you another good ginseng." The island owner said this and dug out another ginseng from the wall.
But the girl didn't take over.
