Chapter 44 Feeling the Road of Filial Piety

Xue Ying's idea was of course opposed by everyone, it stands to reason that she wants to pray for her mother as a daughter, but the temple practice is very bitter and cold, and ordinary people are still unbearable, not to mention that she is only a six-year-old child.

But Xue Ying's attitude was very resolute this time, and in the end, she even did not hesitate to go on a hunger strike, and let Zhen's mother cry in the dark.

Her protest did not last long, first of all, Zhen's mother was tired of crying and had to give in, and asked to accompany Xue Ying. At this time, Zhen's mother didn't know the rules of Ganxiao Temple, and Aunt Shunzi and Qiaoya were afraid that she would cry again, so they simply hid it from her, and suggested that she should be accompanied by an experienced Aunt He'an on the grounds that she was not in good health.

Aunt He'an knew Xue Ying's details, and seeing that she was so determined to go to Ganxiao Temple, she knew that she must have a reason, so she agreed to tell a white lie with Aunt Shunzi to appease Zhen's mother: Anyway, Zhen's mother never left the house, and whether she accompanied her to Ganxiao Temple or not, Zhen's mother would not know.

Originally, Xue Ying thought that she needed to go to Ganxiao Temple by herself, but Aunt He'an told her that people who went to Ganxiao Temple for the first time could be led by someone, but from the second time onwards, they had to go alone.

Early this morning, in Qiaoya's reluctance and Dong Xun's worried, Xue Ying simply packed up two sets of clothes and sat on the carriage set by Aunt He'an.

"Miss, you must come back safely!" At the moment of parting, Qiaoya cried so much that her little face was spent.

Xue Ying's mood is relaxed, since she heard that there is also a temple here, she has always wanted to go and see it, and now her wish has finally been achieved. Turning around and waving at the crowd of farewells, she looked ahead, half expecting and half nervous in her heart: what does the Ganxiao Temple that exists in this overhead era have to do with the Ganxiao Temple that raised her in her previous life?

Until the carriage that Xue Ying was riding left everyone's sight, Aunt He'an and the others were about to turn around and leave, when Qiaoya suddenly shouted.

"What are you yelling about?" Aunt He'an was startled.

"Mother, mother!" Qiao Ya tugged at her sleeve with an anxious expression, "I suddenly remembered one thingโ€”miss, didn't she know her...... She's not the third lady's biological daughter!"

"Who would chew their tongue in front of her like this?" Aunt He'an first reflexively wanted to reprimand Qiaoya, and then suddenly was stunned and remembered.

Yes, Miss has always been in a mess before, and she came to her senses after she arrived at Jiuquan Villa. The people in Beizhuang are simple and simple, basically except for Zhao Zhuangtou, Aunt He'an and a very few high-status elders, others don't know the identity of the young lady's concubine, and these people who know the identity will never say this in front of her.

So, in fact, until now, Miss didn't know that she was not born to the third lady.

She went to ask the third lady for a peace charm, did she treat the third lady as her own mother?

"Mother!" Qiao Ya shook her sleeve vigorously to bring her back to her senses, "What should we do?

Aunt He'an thought for a while and sighed: "Forget it, the young lady has set off." She'll be back in a month anyway, and then ...... We'll see how it goes!"

Qiao Ya pouted: "Okay." However, she still felt that the young lady was so wronged!

At the fork in the road about to reach Moon Lake, the carriage turned into the mountain road and followed the winding mountain road all the way in, walking for half an hour before stopping.

After getting out of the carriage, Aunt He'an said: "It will take three or four hours to walk from here to Ganxiao Temple, and I am afraid that it will take longer to travel by your feet, and I am afraid that I may not be able to reach it before dark." I'll ask you again, are you sure you're going?"

Xue Ying nodded, put the burden on her back, and her little face was full of determination: "Let's go." โ€

Although she knew that her body was not filled with the soul of a child, Aunt He'an still thought she was very cute, so she couldn't help but smile and took her baggage: "It doesn't matter, if you give up halfway, it's a big deal that I will carry you back." โ€

Aunt He'an's warning was not alarmist, the mountain road was really not easy to walk, Xue Ying's body was only six years old, and she was so tired that she couldn't walk for a while, but she finally got here, she said that she couldn't give up now, so she could only grit her teeth and insist.

Aunt He'an saw that her little face was swollen and red, and knew that she was walking hard, so she said, "Our family has a set of small formulas that are conducive to walking, you can try it." So he explained the mantra and footwork in the form of dictation, which is strange, perhaps because the body has indeed reached the limit, Xue Ying actually got started quickly, her steps were much lighter, and her pace was faster, and she could even keep up with Aunt He'an's footsteps after becoming proficient.

After walking for an hour and resting for half a stick of incense, until more than three hours later, Aunt He'an stopped at a fork in the road, took out a water bag and signaled Xue Ying to stop and rest.

"Further along is the road of filial piety, you should have heard before, this road must be ten steps and a bow to show filial piety, people who have passed this road have not a lot of abrasions on their hands and feet, some even flesh and blood blurred bones, you, are you sure you want to continue to move forward?"

Xue Ying wiped the sweat from her face and smiled: "It's all here, how can you give up now?"

"This can be said," Aunt He'an looked at the path to the right, "The biggest feature of Ganxiao Road is that the road is narrow and there are many stones, and there are cliffs next to it, and people who go to Ganxiao Temple are likely to give up in this section." โ€

Xue Ying followed her gaze and saw a path about a meter wide winding forward, with cliffs on the left and cliffs on the right, and the road was paved with small and sharp pebbles - it didn't look easy!

Aunt He'an pointed to the straight road and said: "I didn't go to Ganxiao Temple to ask for a sign, you can take this road, there is no fork in Ganxiao Road, but I'm not afraid that you will get lost, I will wait for you at the end, you be careful all the way." โ€๏ผŒ

Xue Ying nodded: "I know." โ€

Aunt He'an asked, "Don't you ask why I don't accompany you on this journey?"

Xue Ying smiled: "I'm here to ask for a signature, I should always be tested!"

Aunt He'an nodded: "You have always been a reasonable person. โ€

After the two separated, Xue Ying took a deep breath and embarked on the unfriendly road of filial piety. The stones on the road are very sharp, just walking makes me feel panicked, and after kneeling, my knees and palms are even more devastated, Xue Ying is short in size and small in steps, and it is more difficult to walk this part of the road than ordinary people.

The road is as if carved out of the middle of the cliff, winding and winding, with no end in sight, and sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, the smallest point can only allow people to pass, and the slightest mistake will fall into the cliff, and the road is paved with fine gravel all the way, which makes the road full of difficulties.

Half an hour later, Xue Ying's palms and knees were hot, and they had already broken through the flesh, and the sand and pebbles were pierced into the flesh, mixed with the sweat that flowed out, and the pain in her heart was piercing; What's even more terrifying is that after waking up, I found myself on the edge of the cliff, looking down at the bottomless, the huge drop is like a beast's mouth, full of a sense of deterrence, as if the next second will swallow people up, leaving no trace.

Looking at the not long road, she actually walked all the way to the sunset. When she dimly saw Aunt He'an waiting at the end, she felt in a trance that she was already in a different world.
