15 Believe it or not

As a county under Zhonghai City, the reason why Zihuai County is called this name is closely related to a kind of tree, which is a locust tree.

Locust trees are planted everywhere in the county, from every village to the county park, as long as you can see, there will be tall and dense locust trees. April and May of every year are the season for locust flowers to bloom. At that time, Zihuai County was like a sea of ​​locust flowers, with strings of white flowers adorning the branches, swaying in the wind, and a slight scent of simple and gentle fragrance permeating the air, refreshing the heart.

Locust flowers have been favored by literati and poets since ancient times, and have left behind many poems to recite locust flowers, such as Bai Juyi said in "Autumn Day" that "there are many autumn winds, and the locust flowers are half solid." Du Xunhe's "The guest road is so leisurely, and the cicadas sounds to the locust flowers on their backs." And Qiu Wanqing's "The locust flowers are all over the ground, and there is no one to sweep them half at the wall to print purple moss."

Therefore, the chanting of locust trees is a kind of mood, which makes people feel a little more elegant. Zihuai County has always insisted on planting locust trees. This is not only a memory of history, but also a reason for the development of tourism. What is more important is that locust flowers have very strong dietary therapeutic value and medicinal value. Planting locust trees is not only beautiful, but also brings opportunities for people to develop and become rich. The local government will naturally seize this opportunity.

"The meaning of Zi Huai is to take Zi Huai because this county town was the fief of an official surnamed Zi before, but there is no way to verify who the big man surnamed Zi is. Even Zi Huai County's county annals are not available for investigation."

While driving, Ji Nian recalled the story Liang Anfu told during a chat in his mind. He couldn't help but smile and said to himself: "It's still easy to drive. At this speed, you can drive to Zihuai County at about three o'clock in the afternoon. Uncle Fu said that driving from the county town to their village is not as good as the expressway. You have to take an hour's bus. If you count this way, I can arrive at Shitou Village at around four o'clock."

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Zihuai County Expressway Service Area. Just as he was about to arrive in Zihuai County, Ji Nian was no longer busy rushing to the road. Moreover, because he came out early, his stomach was so hungry that he was so hungry that he had to fill his stomach first.

As soon as he turned the steering wheel, he turned into the service area. Since the restaurant in the service area was relatively small and there were not many tables, there were more people eating at this time. Ji Nian took a box of lunch and glanced over and found that there were only one table with three people sitting next to him, and there was a seat next to him, so he walked straight over.

"Please disturb me, is there anyone else here? I'll have a meal for a while." Ji Nian stood at the table and looked at the old man among the three people and said.

These three people are a combination of two men and one woman. The man and woman sitting on one side are obviously young and should be three or four years older than Ji Nian. The man has a positive appearance, a buzz cut, wearing blue short-sleeved shirt, a long hair and a pretty face. Although it is not a stunning type, it is quite attractive. When they heard Ji Nian’s question, they looked at the old man opposite.

The old man was about sixty years old, his hair was meticulously combed, his eyes were bright and gentle. Hearing Ji Nian's words, he smiled and said, "No, young man, sit down, don't worry, this is not our home, and we are not qualified to drive you away. Anyway, we order cooking, and we will have to wait a while before we can get it. You can eat yours first."

"Okay." Ji Nian didn't act so mean, she sat down and opened the chopsticks and started eating.

The old man doesn't care, and the girl doesn't have much emotion. However, the man with a buzz cut, even though he didn't say much after seeing Ji Nian sitting down, there was still a little displeasure and disgust flashing between his eyebrows. We had a good meal here, but a reckless guy like you appeared, which was really disgusting.

"Young man, are you going to Zihuai County?" The old man sat sideways and took the initiative to chat.

"Yes, I'm just going to Zihuai County, how could you guess?" Hearing the old man's question, Ji Nian first put down his chopsticks and finished all the rice in his mouth, then responded respectfully, and did not speak while eating.

"You all said you guessed, but I just guessed it." The old man said as he tapped his fingers on the table.

"Then what you always guess is really accurate." Ji Nian was not in a hurry to have a meal.

"Actually, I can't say it's a guess. There are not many places to stop along this highway. Generally speaking, as long as you take this road, you almost all come from Zhonghai City. You either go to Xiaxian County in Zhonghai City or take a detour to the newly built expressway there. But I heard your accent, with a bit of Zhonghai flavor, and I'm not old, I believe I was walking along this route. There is only Zihuai County in front. Can it be anywhere else there?" The old man said with a smile.

Ji Nian's interest in chatting was aroused. The analysis was very clear, and he could even hear the taste of Zhonghai City in his words.

"You guys won't go to Zihuai County too, right?" Ji Nian asked in a silence.

"You've asked a lot." Seeing Ji Nian continue to talk, the buzz cutter shouted inexplicably.

"Chen Jianfei, the teacher didn't even speak. Why are you talking nonsense?" the girl frowned and said.

"Lumi, you know I have no other intentions." Chen Jianfei hurriedly defended himself. After seeing Rumi's face still embarrassed, he quickly looked at the old man, "Teacher Bai, I really have no other intentions, I just don't want too many people to know our whereabouts."

Teacher Bai?

Ji Nian didn't expect that the old man was actually a teacher, but he didn't know which college he was. Of course, he also heard dissatisfaction from Chen Jianfei's direct tone. He could understand this, after all, there was no reason to tell his destination.

Just when Ji Nian was about to hurry up and leave after the meal, saving people from staying here and making people feel a little unhappy, the teacher Bai casually glanced at Chen Jianfei.

"Jianfei, I said you could stay in the school museum to do the sorting work, but you had to follow me. Since you came out, you should listen to me, listen more and talk less, don't interrupt. What does it mean to expose your whereabouts? Are we doing things that cannot be seen?"

"Yes, the teacher taught me a lesson." Chen Jianfei quickly stood up and said respectfully.

"What are you doing when you stand up? There is no need to be so particular. Sit down and talk." The old man raised his eyebrows unhappily and said.

"Yes." Chen Jianfei hurriedly sat down again.

But as they sat together, Chen Jianfei's eyes when he looked at Ji Nian became unkind, revealing a strong light of disgust. That is, the situation is wrong now, otherwise Chen Jianfei would have to curse and even teach Ji Nian a lesson.

As for it? Ji Nian felt Chen Jianfei's hostility and couldn't help but laugh in his heart. This is really a disaster. Do you need to treat me like this? I have never known you. Is it because I am sitting here that you are going to target me? You are so chicky. If you do this as a man, you will have no future.

"Young man, sorry, it was my student who spoke rudely. We also went to Zihuai County to go along with you." The old man said with a little apology.

"Okay, I didn't care at all, don't say that." Ji Nian dared not accept the old man's apology.

"Although Zihuai County is not the most developed economy among the ten counties and districts in Zhonghai City, it has the best environmental protection, and it has rich history, leaving many famous places and historical sites. I have been to Zihuai County several times, and there are several places that are good, such as Zihuai Jiulin, Pineapple's Question Spring, Damengshan... If you haven't been there, you can check it out, it's also a trip. Don't look at me, eat yours, I'll just say it's just like you." The old man waved his hand and said.

"Okay." Ji Nian was really hungry, so he stopped hesitating and started eating while listening. Seeing his eating style, Chen Jianfei despised him. The local buns that appeared there were no sitting or eating style, which was really disgusting.

A few minutes later, Ji Nian finished the lunch box, and the old man's words came to an end.

"Teacher, our food is ready, hurry up and eat it." Chen Jianfei took the opportunity to greet him and glared at Ji Nian fiercely, which meant that he would get out of the way after eating.

"Old man, you eat, I won't disturb you, but before leaving, there is something I don't know whether to say it or not." Ji Nian said after tidying up the stainless steel rice bowl in front of him.

"Say, what can you say to others?" the old man said generously.

"I will just say it directly. If you believe it, believe it; if you don't believe it, pretend that I have not said it."

Ji Nian's eyes were clear.

"Although I don't know what you did when you go to Zihuai County this time, it's best not to go to those cold and humid places, especially those who don't see the sun all year round. If there is nothing important, go home as soon as possible. If you go back from Zhonghai City, go to Qihuang Pavilion to find an old Chinese doctor to take care of it, so that you will be fine in about a month."

When the old man heard this, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes suddenly looked at Ji Nian with inexplicable alertness.

After Chen Jianfei keenly captured the old man's expression change, he was secretly happy and had been waiting for the words and asked coldly, "Tell me, who are you? Are you always following us? You'd better give honest explanation, otherwise I will call the police to arrest you."

"What, call the police to arrest me?" Ji Nian was stunned, and then anger appeared on his cheek.

It’s just a kind-hearted act like a donkey’s liver and lungs. We are a tiger who doesn’t show our power and really think that I’m a sick cat.

"Stalking you? You are like some state secret personnel. Do I need to follow me? I don't even know who you are, and I'm following you. I just said, if you want to believe what you say, you can believe it, and if you don't want it, it doesn't matter if you don't believe me, it doesn't matter. But old man, I still suggest that you listen to me, that will be good for you. Your problem is easy to solve. As for this person, tsk, the problem is serious."

Ji Nian glanced at Chen Jianfei, giving birth to a sense of indifference.

Chen Jianfei was furious on the spot.
