Chapter 684: Chapter 684
Liu Zhizhong, of course, did not know that Zhang Hongyang had really harbored murderous intentions toward him.
As a lonely widower with his mother, he drove his Big Lao SUV and bought some tickets—no one should miss out; both person and vehicle tickets were needed.
After purchasing the tickets, he drove straight into Shennong Valley Scenic Area.
Shennong Valley, also known as Shennong Grand Canyon, was a renowned 5A-level scenic spot in Hu Yang Province, perfect for cooling off and relaxing.
Following the initiation of the provincial cultural tourism economic policy, the area had undergone a series of renovations and welcomed visitors from all directions with its renewed appearance.
Especially after Liu Zhizhong's promotional video was released, the place was bustling with visitors almost every day. In the summer, the valley offered endless coolness.
The Shennong Grand Canyon, formed by the Shennong River running through this area, had high and spacious mountains on both sides, blooming flowers, and lush trees.
In the middle, the river naturally parted the canyon, and its long and refreshing water flows included channels and cascading springs.
Here, one could stay in a scenic area hotel, a homey farmhouse, or even camp and light a fire, with well-equipped facilities and first-rate service quality.
Arriving here brought instant relief from the intense heat of midsummer.
After Liu Zhizhong's Big Lao entered the valley, there was no need for air conditioning. He rolled down the windows, and the cool breeze that carried the scent of flowers and grass made one feel carefree and delighted.
With Zhao Han not present, Lu Yumei took the spot in the passenger seat. Through the open window, she admired the scenery on both sides and enjoyed the cool breeze—a unique pleasure for this beautiful widow, who sighed continuously.
"Ah, Zhizhong, I heard that Shennong Grand Canyon is said to be where Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs! He really knew how to pick a spot, the scenery and the herbal resources are so wonderful!"
As Liu Zhizhong drove slowly, he replied, "Places steeped in legend always deserve a second thought as to their authenticity! Many domestic scenic spots bank on beautiful legends to attract tourists and drive consumption. In reality, how could there be so many beautiful legends? It's all wishful thinking..."
Lu Yumei chuckled at his response, "Hmm, you make a valid point. But that doesn't stop Shennong Grand Canyon from being famous and boosting the tourism economy, does it?"
"That's true! This place is definitely worth visiting..."
"By the way, do you remember how you described it in the promotional video?"
Lu Yumei, intrigued, twisted around in her seat, the safety belt stretched taut, her bosom almost spilling out as she said, "Then give your old lady a recount!"
Lu Yumei laughed heartily, truly relaxed.
Amidst her laughter, Liu Zhizhong started to narrate the tour guide scene live while driving.
"Crossing the sands of time, Shennong River carries the bloodline of ancient sages, flowing gently in from afar..."
His resonant voice sounded, leaving Lu Yumei utterly captivated.
Listening to the wonderful voice and viewing the scenery outside, even as Liu Zhizhong kept up with naming each scenic spot distinctly.
This brought a mentally delightful pleasure to his mother-in-law that was strangely unprecedented.
Following Shenlong River's left bank, the Big Lao moved along, stopping here and there. Liu Zhizhong accompanied Lu Yumei everywhere, enjoying the landscape and helping her take beautiful photos, providing considerate service.
Lu Yumei really enjoyed this attentive service!
Visitors came and went in the scenic area, and many naturally noticed Liu Zhizhong and Lu Yumei.
Despite both wearing sunglasses, their mysterious charm of a handsome man and a stunning woman was too engaging.
A tall, handsome, robust man; a tall, sexy, voluptuous woman—truly hard not to draw attention.
Even, on several occasions, incidents that made Lu Yumei's face flush with laughter occurred! ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙
Some people said: Hey, handsome guy and beautiful lady, are you out here on your honeymoon?
Young couples approached them, asking, "Brother and sister-in-law, could you take a photo for us?"
Others commented: "You two are great—no kids to worry about, husband and wife out enjoying some alone time?"
In these situations, Lu Yumei felt both irritated and secretly thrilled, even blushing, while Liu Zhizhong just smiled and handled it easily.
Luckily for Lu Yumei, she was accompanied by him, who indeed handled things smoothly...
