Rebirth is not a dream.
Chapter 24 The road is rough
Su Yue has been living in Baiyun Temple for nearly a month. Someone from the Marquis' Mansion came to ask her when she would go back, but she said that one must pray sincerely, and the 49th day had not yet arrived, so she just sent the person away.
In the early days, she would stay in the temple every day, enjoying the tranquility and comfort; but soon, she began to go to the town frequently. Every morning after finishing her morning lessons, she could not wait to set foot on the road to the town, and sometimes she would climb to the top of the mountain to enjoy the beautiful autumn scenery - the red and yellow leaves intertwined into a colorful picture.
In addition, Su Yue had visited the teahouse in the town many times to listen to the storyteller's stories. However, what was strange was that every time the storyteller told stories, they were all about the legend of Princess Ming Zhao. Perhaps because of this, Su Yue gradually lost interest and stopped listening to the stories. Although she was somewhat curious about the storyteller's intention, she always believed in the philosophy of "less trouble is worse than more trouble". As long as the other party did not directly point out that they were looking for her, she would never take the initiative to ask anything.
Su Yue also occasionally had a strange feeling of being spied on in the town, but she never saw the masked man again. At first, this vague feeling of being spied on made her wary, but as time went by, no substantial evidence or incidents occurred, so Su Yue gradually forgot about it.
After all, there are so many trivial matters in life that she can't always worry about this illusory feeling. So, she chose to believe in the simple and practical truth of "fight the enemy with the generals and block the water with the earth". Since she couldn't be sure whether the other party really existed and what his purpose was, excessive worry would affect her mood and normal rhythm of life.
Su Yue tried almost all the dishes in the restaurants in the town, but she couldn't find a taste that satisfied her. So, if she wanted to taste the taste of her previous life, she had to cook it herself.
At first, she simply tried to cook some home-cooked dishes in the guest house. However, surprisingly, Su Yue's cooking skills were still good, and every dish was delicious. This amazed Ding Xiang who was watching from the side, and she admired her very much.
Ding Xiang was attracted by Su Yue's superb cooking skills and took the initiative to ask to learn from her. Su Yue also readily agreed and patiently taught Ding Xiang various cooking techniques and secrets. After a period of hard study and practice, Ding Xiang finally mastered many cooking essentials.
Now, Ding Xiang can make delicious dishes by herself. These dishes are not only loved by Su Yue, but also become a great pleasure in their lives.
There was a big fair in Longwan Town today. Su Yue led the maids to the town early in the morning. They ate various cakes, watched several acrobatics and circuses, and listened to a community opera that told the folk story of a white crane giving pearls to express its gratitude.
There was a woman named Lan'er, who was smart, beautiful and kind-hearted. One day, when Lan'er was washing clothes by the river, she found a wounded white crane. She took the white crane home with great concern and took good care of it. After the white crane recovered, Lan'er decided to release it back to nature. At the moment of releasing the white crane, the white crane turned into a handsome young man. He was grateful for Lan'er's life-saving grace and told Lan'er that he was an immortal in the sky. In order to repay Lan'er, the immortal gave her a gem and told her that the gem could fulfill one of her wishes. Lan'er took the gem and thought for a long time. In the end, she decided to use the power of the gem to help the poor people. She wished that everyone in the village would have a life of plenty. As the wish came true, Lan'er's good deeds spread far and wide, and people were full of gratitude and respect for her.
After reading this story, Su Yue fell into deep thought. Will saving people always bring good rewards? Who can know? This story presents the most positive result, however, things in the world are unpredictable. Su Yue recalled that she had not done evil in her previous life, but she had not seen any good rewards. However, she thought about it again, is the life of this little Su Yue who was picked up for free a reward for her saving those elementary school students? Otherwise, she really couldn't figure out why she came to this time and space. Master Liaosheng of Baiyun Temple also said that her fate was all cause and effect. If what she is suffering now is the result, then what is the cause? Could it be the reward for her life-saving grace to those elementary school students? Who can explain all this clearly? As a layman, she couldn't understand these mysterious things, so she didn't think about it.
After walking around for a long time, Su Yue was a little tired, so she led the maids and guards back to Baiyun Temple. Today was a big fair, and the crowds were surging, more crowded than usual, and the speed of travel was much slower. Su Yue sat in the carriage, gradually feeling sleepy and drowsy. Suddenly, the carriage shook violently, Su Yue woke up instantly, and Taozi was also hit. She angrily asked the driver in front how he was driving. The driver replied: "A mother and son stopped the carriage."
Su Yue gently lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the mother and son sitting on the ground in front of the carriage, asking, "Did they hit someone?" People around were whispering to each other. The driver hurriedly explained, "I didn't hit them at all. The mother and son ran too fast and accidentally fell to the ground. I just tried to rein in the carriage, which caused it to shake a little. It really has nothing to do with me!"
Su Yue stared at the mother and son who fell, thinking that they might be frightened. So she signaled Taozi to give them some silver to calm them down. However, the mother and son did not appreciate it at all. They suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, begging, "Sir, please save us! Please, please save us!" Su Yue couldn't help but feel a little confused. She wondered what was going on. Could it be that they were so fascinated by the show? Why did someone ask her for help right after she came out? She was not the Jade Emperor, nor the Queen Mother, and she was not a good person either. What a mess! She really didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
Suddenly, several burly men rushed out of the crowd, as if they were here to arrest someone. The mother and son became more and more nervous, knocking their heads against each other like pounding garlic, and the sound became louder and louder. Su Yue felt that her head was also aching. She cast her eyes on the maids, and saw that Taozi and Qiuzhu had sympathetic expressions on their faces, while Chenxiang and Dingxiang had no expression on their faces, just watching the development of the situation quietly.
Su Yue really didn't want to cause trouble, and wanted to back off, but the group of big men were rude and unreasonable, beating anyone they saw without knowing right or wrong, and even accidentally injured her driver. At this time, the guards who followed also rushed up, and Su Yue thought, is it that I look so easy to bully? So, she did not show any weakness and signaled the guards to fight back immediately. In an instant, the guards pounced on the group of big men like tigers descending from the mountains, and knocked them all to the ground in a few seconds. Since she had already taken action, Su Yue no longer hesitated and took the mother and son back to Baiyun Temple.
