The young couple from the farm fights back

Chapter 106 The Island Owner Old Lady

This day.

Jiang Li took his own pulse and recuperated in the house for more than a month. His weakened body finally showed signs of improvement.

After taking the medicine, she stood up and opened the door. The temperature in the early summer morning was still a little chilly.

She put her hands behind her back and walked slowly in the yard, welcoming the baptism of the sun.

Jiang Li hasn't felt so relaxed and enjoyable for a long time, and she has even forgotten how long it has been. Maybe it started from the first day she came into the book!

The fulfilling, dramatic and lively time always slipped away. Jiang Li thought of something and looked back at the corridor. Fang was holding Lan Jie'er in her arms.

Whenever Jiang Li sees the soft glutinous rice balls, her mood becomes very soft.

At this time, Ming Ye came forward and reported: "Lady Li."

Jiang Li turned around and saw Ming Yang following Ming Ye. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, guessing the visitor's intention.

Ming Yang clasped his hands together and said, "Madam Li, the island master invites you."

Jiang Li guessed correctly. The island owner here was indeed a capable person. He could accurately calculate the day she would go out.

"Okay." In fact, she also wanted to meet this mysterious and capable person.

The island owner's residence is located in the deeper part of the island. Coming out of the courtyard, you first pass through a peach forest. The further you go in, the more beautiful the scenery becomes. With bamboo forests and mountains as the background, and birdsong and flowers as embellishment, every breath of air is so refreshing.

Not a moment.

A square city with blue bricks, black tiles and towering walls comes into view.

A black plaque made of golden nanmu wood hangs on the top of the dark and thick gate, with three large gold-painted characters inscribed on it: Jianglin Pavilion.

The two words "Jiang Lin" which were domineering and had a profound meaning made Jiang Li's heart tremble.

In today's era, no matter whether it is the princes from all directions, the common people, or even the hermits, the intentions of writing inscriptions are carefully considered.

It seems that Changsheng Island is really a mysterious island full of mysteries!

Two sturdy men in black clothes stood outside the black lacquer door. Seeing the newcomers, they remained calm and studied the strange woman behind Ming Ye and Ming Yang with sharp eyes.

Ming Yang stepped forward, bowed, and said, "The island master would like to see the miraculous doctor."

The two men in black looked at each other, and without saying a word, they pushed open the two tall and thick black lacquered doors.

However, as the door opened, the sound of wind chimes began to ring.

Jiang Li looked up and found a string of wind chimes hanging at both ends of the beams in the courtyard. The wires of the wind chimes should be connected to the door, and the wind chimes would ring when the door moved, with a crisp and pleasant sound.

Ming Yang turned around and gestured, "Madam Li, please follow me."

Jiang Li nodded slightly and was about to step over the threshold.

Ming Ye beside him paused in front of the door and said with a bow, "Madam Li, I will wait for you here."

Jiang Li was slightly startled, and the look of surprise disappeared in an instant.

Remembering that Mingye was no longer considered a guard on the island, he nodded in understanding, "Okay."

When she walked into the Four-Room City, Jiang Li, who had seen the world, was still shocked by the solemn and mysterious courtyard before her.

Jianglin Pavilion seemed like a gift carrying the historical and cultural heritage. Jiang Li even felt that the word "palace" could be used to describe this square city.

The first thing that comes into view is the vast courtyard in front of the palace, which is so large that it is impossible to see it all at a glance.

In every visible corner, there are men in black guarding their posts. The ground is clean with blue bricks and rocks, and there is not a single fallen leaf blown by the wind.

If someone said that the owner of this Jianglin Pavilion was a foreign king or prince, Jiang Li would also believe it.

Entering the main hall, Jiang Li found that Ming Yang did not follow him. He turned back and saw two men in black outside the door closing the door.

The vast main hall was deserted. Inside, the furnishings were neat and tidy. Two stone lions, symbols of power, flanked a carved golden nanmu soft seat at the top. In the center, a massive bronze incense burner, carved with a kirin pattern, wafted the faint scent of pear blossom sandalwood.

The black pillars stand tall and straight, with a lifelike black unicorn circling around each pillar. The unicorn's claws are sharp and its fangs are bared, which makes people afraid.

The main hall with its carved beams and painted rafters was no less imposing than the imperial palace, which made Jiang Li even more certain that the island owner was no ordinary person.

The air in the silence was filled with an awe-inspiring solemnity. Jiang Li did not feel nervous or afraid, and stood calmly in the hall waiting.

Boom, boom, boom!

The crisp sound of a cane hitting the ground came from the side corridor.

Jiang Li turned around and looked around. She saw an old lady in gorgeous clothes, leaning on a black pear wood cane, walking slowly towards her with the support of a maid.

Behind them, there was a man in his forties with a fair complexion and a somewhat elegant demeanor.

Island owner?

Jiang Li couldn't believe that the owner of Changsheng Island was actually an old lady who was about to die. She even preferred to believe that the man behind the old lady was the owner of the island.

The maid first bowed to Jiang Li: "Madam Li."

Jiang Li nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on the old lady: "May I ask if you are——"

The old lady smiled and raised her hand, pressing it down: "Don't be so reserved, Madam Miracle Doctor."

Jiang Li understood and bowed tactfully: "I am Jiang, the humble lady, and I greet the island master. I am grateful for your kindness in allowing me and my family to take shelter on your island."

"Hey~" The old island master smiled and gestured for the maid to come forward and help Jiang Li up: "Madam Divine Doctor, you are so thoughtful. There is no need to be so polite with me."

Jiang Li didn't dare to boast about his ability and take advantage of Qiao. He couldn't neglect the proper etiquette. "Thank you, Island Master."

The old island master smiled kindly, and his old eyes kept looking back and forth at Jiang Li, as if he wanted to see something from her.

This scene made the usually calm Jiang Li feel a little nervous, fearing that the old man would figure out that the soul in her body was not the original owner.

Suddenly, the smile on the old island master's face disappeared. He glanced at the maid beside him and said with a hint of majesty: "All of you, please leave."

The maid Ziyuan Fuli responded, "Yes."

The old man behind him was a little hesitant, but at Zi Yuan's signal, they both turned around and left.

After the footsteps behind him faded away, the old island master smiled again: "Don't laugh at me, my lady. I feel like I've known you for a long time. I know you're coming out of retreat today, and I can't wait to meet you."

"Island Master, your words are too kind. I am probably ignorant of etiquette and have not come to see you."

The old island master smiled and walked slowly towards the incense burner in the hall with his crutches. He closed his eyes slightly, as if smelling the fragrance to refresh himself.

In fact, Jiang Li discovered the clue when he saw the old island owner for the first time.

The old lady looked in good spirits, but her walking posture was a little stiff, probably due to the hidden joint disease caused by old age.

I think she had been tormented by illness for a long time, and every time she showed her energy, it drained her strength.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li slowly came to his side and said, "Master Island Master, would you be willing to let me take your pulse?"

The old island master opened his eyes slightly, a smile reaching his eyes, even with a hint of relief: "Okay, I'll trouble the doctor to take a look at this for me."

Therefore, Jiang Li had nothing to understand. The old island owner went to so much trouble just to invite her to his home for medical treatment.

Jiang Li humbly lifted up the old lady's hand, gently lifted her sleeve, and took her pulse with his fingertips.

While taking Jiang Li's pulse, the old island master's shrewd eyes continued to stare at her, assessing her without blinking. There seemed to be satisfaction, reluctance, relief, and loneliness mixed in.

Jiang Li was not unaware of it, but she was confused in her heart.

An old lady of her age should be enjoying her retirement, but she is still busy with island affairs and holding an important position.

It can be seen that when the old lady was young, she must have been a heroic and swift woman!
