Chapter 486 The burnt peach forest
It was getting late, and the party enjoyed themselves.
The old housekeeper said, “The peach saplings in that peach forest were planted by the old chairman when he just bought the island in his early years. Every one of them has grown into a peach forest, but because of the climate on the island, those peach trees have never blossomed, let alone borne fruit.”
Peter was puzzled. “So all these trees survived?”
“Survived, or how to say the creator magic? Although it does not blossom and bear fruit, it has always been alive. ”
“I want to see everything I said.”
“It’s too late to be safe now,” Amanda Jewell persuaded Peter in time. “The road is bumpy. If you fall, we are not responsible.”
The old housekeeper nodded. “I mean, in this way, I’ll show you tomorrow morning.”
Peter nodded reluctantly. “All right.”
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to have a rest.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Amanda Jewell dialed Iverson Byran’s phone, listened to the familiar voice on the other end of the phone, told him about meeting the old housekeeper, and talked about the auction that year.
“I didn’t expect to see it at that time.”
Amanda Jewell had mixed feelings in her heart. “You said that if the old housekeeper came up to recognize him at that time, what would happen later?”
Iverson Byran’s deep and magnetic voice came from the phone. “Master Shao will still die. With Aaron Jewell as his own son, ME will be even more chaotic and fight more obviously than now. At that time, Kenneth may not be able to protect Aaron Jewell.”
“Why do you say so scary? Can’t the old chairman hear the news that his son has found it, and his body is getting better? ”
“I don’t want you to be too sorry for what didn’t happen.”
“Well,” Amanda Jewell thought about it carefully, “what you said is also reasonable. At that time, Aaron Jewell was still young, and letting him go to ME was tantamount to death.”
Moreover, at that time, her relationship with Iverson Byran was in the freezing point, and both of them were so obsessed that no one could help Aaron Jewell.
Just then there was a knock at the door outside.
“Wait, let me see who, this big night.”
Amanda Jewell put her cell phone on the sofa and opened the door.
When the cat saw Peter and Theo Scott on the door, Amanda Jewell opened the door directly. “What are you doing in the middle of the night?”
Peter, hey hey, smile.
Amanda Jewell gathered her coat and said suspiciously, “Why do I feel that you two are not kind?”
Theo Scott explained, “Pippi said she couldn’t sleep, and we wanted you to go out for a walk together.”
“What time is it?”
Amanda Jewell looked at the wall clock on the wall. “It’s almost twelve o’clock. Go out for a walk?”
“Are you going or not? If we don’t go, we’ll go. ”
Peter’s words made Amanda Jewell’s heart tremble.
Sometimes it’s like this. A friend won’t tell you what to do, where to go, or even force you to go with her. But if she really wants to go alone, you will be curious to death and have to go with her.
“Wait for me to get a mobile phone.”
Amanda Jewell quickly went back to her room to get her cell phone, then changed her heels and they went out together.
The street lamps in front of the villa are all on, and there are still many people walking on the beach. For those who come out to travel, it is not time to sleep.
Theo Scott took the two of them to the center of the island while looking at the screen of the mobile phone. As they walked, the lights dimmed, and even the lights could not be seen, so they could only be illuminated by moonlight in the sky.
“Wait.”
Amanda Jewell unconsciously lowered her voice and grabbed Peter’s sleeve. “Where are you going? What are you doing? ”
‘shh.”
Peter made a gesture of silence at her. “Don’t you think there are secrets on this island?”
“Nonsense, of course I know there are secrets. Isn’t that why we are here?”
“The old housekeeper said there was a peach grove on the island, but she refused to take us there.”
“I won’t let you go, and I won’t let you go in the middle of the night.”
Theo Scott interrupted, “Amanda Jewell, just leave her alone. She just can’t sleep in the middle of the night and wants to get some moths. Let’s go and have a look. I’m also curious about what this peach grove planted by Master Shao looks like.”
Amanda Jewell is helpless.
The husband who is a doctor is not worried, so why are you worried?
“How do you two know where Taolin is?”
“He is not to say that? The restricted area on the island is not allowed by ordinary people. I searched and found that there is only one place on the island that is not allowed to enter, that is, the place where Master Shao used to live here, called Xianju. ”
Peter followed with a tut, “Master Shao is also very interesting. He found a place where peach trees can’t be planted, named Peach Blossom Island, and named his place in the peach forest Xianju. He really regarded himself as an immortal who avoided the world.”
“The deceased is big, so accumulate some words.”
Amanda Jewell reminded helplessly.
I don’t know how long I walked along the path, but I turned around in the winding Woods for a long time. What caught their eye was a bare forest, which was completely different from the tropical customs of the leafy and leafy plantains on the island, as if it had been burned by a big fire.
Theo Scott said, “This is the place on the map.”
“I * depend,” Peter touched the trunk of a peach tree in front of him. “The old housekeeper is really not joking. Is this a peach tree? No flowers, no fruits, and no long leaves. Can light long branches live so long? ”
Amanda Jewell wondered, “Isn’t this place a restricted area? How did we get in so easily? ”
“If I were a tourist, I wouldn’t want to go inside when I saw it. If I were told it was a restricted area, I would be more interested in seeing what was forbidden inside.”
Peter, it makes sense when you think about it.
Amanda Jewell pondered that maybe this is also a strategy of Shao’s father. Instead of blocking everything, people are not interested in the desolation here, so they will not break in.
“That’s where Master Shao lives.”
Theo Scott pointed to a yard in the distance.
With a “creak”, Theo Scott easily pushed open the gate.
The yard has long been overgrown with weeds, and the grass is taller than people.
“This place should be that no one has been here since the death of Master Shao.”
“I guess so, too. It smells musty.”
Peter waved in front of him twice in disgust, trying to drive away the strange smell in the air.
“What, this taste is too strong.”
“It’s this,” Theo Scott pointed to the grass all over the yard. “It’s a kind of herbal medicine. It tastes very strong, and it has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. The disadvantage is that it tastes great. This place should not be the origin of this herbal medicine, which is unique to our country.”
Theo Scott was talking to himself, while Peter had discovered the new continent by covering his nose. “Does Master Shao still raise pigs?”
Amanda Jewell looked down Peter’s eyes and found the pigsty.
