Several times he had entered another time and space, Jiang Xiaobai had a sense of déjà vu, always feeling that this place was a little similar to his own hometown's Jiangjiafang.

However, Jiang Xiaobai didn't think much of it, because seeing was believing, the difference between Jiangjiafang and Locust Tree Slope was huge.

In the most conspicuous spots, there were no Pagoda trees, and there was no slope thirty to forty meters tall at the north of the village.

But today, Zhang Cheng actually said that there used to be a big locust tree at the northeastern corner of Jiang Xiaobai's house.

If one were to measure from Jiang Xiaobai's room, the location that Zhang Cheng pointed to matched exactly with the location of the other space-time grass hut and the location of the Pagoda tree.

”What kind of story?” Jiang Xiaobai felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

”Young people like to listen to these old stories as well?” Zhang Cheng's heart had not died yet, so he leaned on the doorframe and said: ”Our Jiangjiafang was previously called Locust Tree Slope in the past. Do you know why? It is because there is a locust tree in the village that is over ten zhang tall, and seven or eight people cannot carry it. It is said that it is over a thousand years old. ”

Jiang Xiaobai asked: ”Why isn't there one anymore?”

”Because the people of the eight villages treated the Pagoda tree as a sacred tree and often came to burn incense and pay their respects. Except for the four old days, they treated it as a feudal superstition and chopped it down.” Zhang Cheng sighed and said regretfully: ”When I was young, I ate the locust flowers on the Pagoda tree. They were so fragrant that I can't forget them even now.”

Jiang Xiaobai asked: ”Since the Locust Tree Slope village doesn't have the Pagoda tree, they changed their name to Jiangjiafang? That's not right, if it's because the Pagoda tree got its name, then it should be called the Pagoda Tree Village, right? ”

”That's because of the Locust Tree Slope in front.” Zhang Cheng pointed towards the north of the village.

Jiangjiafang was a village with about three to four hundred families. It was divided into north and south groups. Southern Group lived in the south and had a lower terrain.

The Northern Group lived in the north side, on a tall platform that was around 150 metres away from Jiang Xiaobai's home.

The platform was about fifteen meters higher than the south, and it was close to the Beishan Reservoir, so it was also called the Water Corps.

”Back then when the Great Leap Forward, it was flat for the sake of repairing the reservoir.” Zhang Cheng said in a somewhat resentful tone, ”Back then, our village did not differentiate between water and drought teams, and Qingxi passed through under the Locust Tree Slope. ”It's great now, Qing Xi river water has filled up the Northern Mountain Reservoir, and has actually turned our Southern Hill Group's paddy field into dry land.”

The great locust tree, Locust Tree Slope, and clear stream water all matched each other.

Locust Tree Slope is Jiangjiafang and Jiangjiafang is Locust Tree Slope. So it turns out that I had teleported to my hometown of a few hundred years, or even a thousand years ago.

”Awesome!” Understanding this point, Jiang Xiaobai shouted excitedly.

Zhang Cheng was shocked, and looked at Jiang Xiaobai suspiciously: ”What's wrong? Are you shocked or something?”

”Hahaha, nothing much, I just thought of something happy!” Jiang Xiaobai was all smiles.

”Why are youngsters so mysterious?” Zhang Cheng was even more confused.

”Dad, breakfast is ready!” Suddenly, Widow Chen's shout came from the wall.

Zhang Cheng stuck his head out and said: ”Yuzhu, I'm chatting with your Brother Xiao Bai, I'll be there in a while.”

”Dad, what's there to talk about with him? Come here, the food is going to get cold! ” Widow Chen frowned and urged unhappily.

”Not you?” Looking at Jiang Xiaobai, then looking at Widow Chen, Zhang Cheng became even more confused.

Daughter-in-law was still thinking about this brat, why did she look so unhappy when I came over to make peace?

Jiang Xiaobai knew that he had left a bad impression on Widow Chen last night, so he did not mind and said: ”Uncle Cheng, let's go eat!”

”Alright, I'm going. The thing I told you about …” Zhang Cheng was a little unwilling, he walked to the center of the courtyard and said: ”Why don't you come over and eat as well? I see that you have a cold pot here, it would be troublesome if you were to clean it up. ”

”Dad, I'll make you dinner alone!” The Widow Chen was even more unhappy.

Zhang Cheng was stunned, he apologetically nodded at Jiang Xiaobai, then carried the wicker basket and left.
