In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!

Chapter 827: Chapter 806: Complying with the Divine Will?

"Hehe, of course I don’t believe it!"

Su Pan’er suddenly laughed, thereby dispelling the unwarranted confusion in her heart.

Upon a careful reflection, she had personally ended quite a few lives in her previous life, and in this one, the number of lives she had taken was countless! If indeed these acts led to karmic consequences, she feared she would have already descended to the realm of animals—why would there be any need to cultivate Buddhism or believe in Taoism?

What’s more, those seated on divine thrones of kings and high-ranking officials were built upon mountains of skeletons! They are not afraid, so what does she have to worry about?

Even if, talking a step back, she really was destined for Avici hell in the afterlife, that would be a matter of death. All she needed to do was to take good care of the matters at hand while alive.

As for whether there was another life to come, for someone like her who had already lived two lifetimes, she had already gained an extra life compared to others. What dissatisfaction could she possibly have?

"I’m telling the truth!"

Lui Muyi looked at her earnestly, "Do you know? The day I was born, a monk came to tell my fortune. He claimed my father was not destined to have descendants, and I was someone who should not exist in this world. But look, am I not still living just fine?"

He didn’t mind revealing his father’s shortcomings.

"What did your father say?"

"Whatever he said, he was actually very pleased. He kept praising the other party for being accurate. He also said that if it had not been for your Clan Leader’s aid, he would’ve died long ago, and naturally, I wouldn’t exist."

Lui Muyi spread his hands nonchalantly, "All these supposed Zen sayings and Taoist teachings—if you believe in them, they exist. If you don’t, they don’t. That rotten Taoist priest said you would bring misfortune upon those around you, yet how could he possibly understand that perhaps this is the real Divine Will? Could it be that the heavens want to temper you, to put you through trials and to refine you? We shouldn’t overthink or force things, we just need to walk our own path. Let things take their natural course, and even if there seems to be no way forward, we can make our own path!"

What karmic retribution? In any situation as long as one does one’s humanly duties and listens to the Divine Will, and first and foremost, lives one’s own life well—that’s the truth!

Su Pan’er looked at Lui Muyi’s sparkling eyes, then turned to look at Aunt Xiao and others, who were watching her with worried faces.

Speaking of karmic retribution, when she had saved Xiao Min’s family back then, was it not also indirectly indicating that had their fates not been destined to continue, how could they have encountered her? Wasn’t her act of saving everyone also in accordance with the Divine Will?

With this thought, she suddenly felt a sense of clarity!

"Let’s go! Let’s leave."

Having understood her situation, Su Pan’er descended the mountain with an unusually lively stride.

In the dilapidated Taoist temple, Liao Chen slowly opened his eyes, silently got up, and walked towards the outside of the temple.

His mission in this Taoist temple was completed; it was time to leave!

Only after following the mountain path downwards did Su Pan’er turn back to look towards the direction of the old Taoist temple hidden by the surrounding mountains and ridges, relieved to have safely descended the mountain.

After walking further, they came upon a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain. Tired, thirsty, and hungry, the group hurried forward to ask for assistance.

Fortunately, the female owner of the house was at home. Understanding their predicament, she warmly welcomed them inside, quickly cooked some rice and dishes, and even baked an extra batch of coarse cakes.

"There’s nothing much to eat at home, so don’t mind if the food is simple."

The woman seemed somewhat apologetic.

"It’s fine, this is already very good,"

Su Pan’er earnestly said and hurriedly divided the coarse cakes and dishes among everyone.

They had been traveling all the way and were extremely hungry, so naturally, no one was shy, and they all filled their bellies.

They also asked the woman about how to get to the nearby city.

"As for how to get to the city, I haven’t been there myself,"

The woman clearly hadn’t traveled far and after thinking a bit, pointed out the way leading outside the mountain: "Just follow this path straight ahead, and after six miles, you’ll reach the main roads. Follow the main roads and you’ll arrive at the Market Fair. As for how to get to Peiding County City... I don’t know."

Hearing that they could go directly to the Market Fair, the eyes of a few people lit up!

Su Pan’er felt her heart pounding violently!

She hadn’t been separated from Little Yanyan for such a long time since she was born!

She hadn’t said anything, but in her heart, she was already extremely anxious. Little Yanyan was still so young, where had their first cousin brother taken her? Had they encountered any danger? Could they handle those officers and soldiers?

In an instant, she had a thousand thoughts.

"Peiding County? Do you mean to say that if we continue forward, we’ll arrive at Peiding County City?" Lui Muyi’s eyes lit up.

He often operated around the vicinity and was quite familiar with Peiding County.

"That’s right! Market Fair leads straight to Peiding County City, we usually take the Cow Car to Market Fair, you can board it by the village entrance..."

With repeated assurances from the woman, they bought two sets of clothes to change into and some dry food. Then they bid farewell and set out to take the Cow Car to Market Fair.

Not until they had walked a good distance did Lui Muyi explain about Peiding County: "Would you believe it, after all our turning in and out of paths, we’ve actually traveled this far in the mountains! From Peiding County down, it’s Fenghuang County, Yishui County, Fufeng County, and Changze County, with Changze County behind Fufeng and Yishui Counties. Which means, if we keep traveling, in half a month, we’ll reach Changze County. Pan’er, you should still remember Changze County, right?"

How could she not remember?

Originally they had gone to explore the Bai Residence in Changze County, then entered the underground labyrinth through the garden’s tunnel, and when they came out, they found themselves outside Yongzhou City.

As Lui Muyi spoke of it, Su Pan’er immediately perked up.

"We should quicken our pace so we can enter the city to find the whereabouts of our first cousin brother and Little Yanyan."

Her heart secretly worried, wondering if there were enemies lurking in the County Town.

They boarded the Cow Car, and although the people on the car were curious about the strangers, they were no match for Lui Muyi, who had a local accent spot-on. Pretending to be taking his sister to visit relations in the city, he also managed to pry plenty of useful information from the chattering crowd on the Cow Car.

"The city gates are under strict scrutiny lately, it seems that the officials from above are searching for someone. Anyone suspicious is immediately arrested and questioned strictly. Those officials don’t care about the lives of us commoners at all; once taken by them, if not dead, you might lose half a life."

"That’s the truth! The last time I was in the city, wasn’t there a good-looking woman who had lived by Linhe for many years? She was no rebel, but those officials blatantly told lies and insisted on harassing her. She was driven to slamming herself against a wall to maintain her dignity. It’s a pity that woman had a four or five-year-old little girl too, who was also taken away by those scoundrels!"

"Isn’t it just! Those utterly heartless, inhumane creatures..."

The people in the car were all condemning them, sinking Su Pan’er’s heart even lower. She exchanged a glance with Lui Muyi, but neither said a word.
