"Lotus seed soup," Qin Yue said suddenly, "of course it's Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth."
They were silent for a few seconds.
"Well, I think the soup is pretty good," Bai Ningning said in a low voice, "Let's not give the blessing."
So as to avoid wasting the Bodhisattva’s magical powers.
"Let's go upstairs after we finish eating." Qin Yue called them.
As the name suggests, Xishan Temple is built on a mountain. There are various small temples on the mountainside, each with its own Bodhisattvas, gods and Buddhas, as well as its own ancestral incense burner.
After walking around the Merit Pond and going up a large staircase, Bai Ningning saw many people gathered around a large stove, burning incense and paper and so on.
The girl stopped.
"Senior Ningning, what are you looking at?"
"Look there."
The main reason is that these people are different from other people who burn incense. After all, it is Chinese New Year, and burning incense in other places seems lively and festive. But here, most of the people who burn incense have solemn faces, and under the light of the fire, you can even see some people crying silently.
"That's to worship deceased family members," Qin Yue said, "Let's go, we don't need it tonight. Our family has another special ancestor worship activity, and it's not during the New Year."
"Yeah." Qin Xin nodded in agreement.
No one in the Qin family died mid-life, and all the deceased were old people who died of old age, so they didn't have much feelings. Birth, aging, illness and death are normal for human beings.
It’s just that Bai Ningning can’t walk anymore.
Qin Yue and Qin Xin noticed her abnormality and stopped, but neither of them understood.
Qin Xin gave her sister a look - I remember you once said that the senior sister has been an orphan since childhood and has never seen her parents or family?
Qin Yue also returned a look - Yes, that's why I'm curious.
"I, well," Bai Ningning sniffed, "Can I also burn some incense?"
"Okay," Qin Yue didn't ask any more questions, "then let's sit over here and take a rest."
Qin Xin went to the nearby temple to buy some incense sticks. Bai Ningning thanked him, took the incense sticks and walked to the stove, her mood suddenly rising.
The firelight made her little face red, and the solemnity of the people around her made Bai Ningning empathize with them.
Yes, she has been an orphan for two lifetimes, has never seen her parents, and seems to have no one to worship - but she can burn incense for herself.
The boy who was not strong in his life and was often weaker than others, who had nothing special about him but had never done anything bad, was gone just like that.
Although there is nothing worth saying, at least I'll burn some incense, woooo.
After burning incense for herself, Bai Ningning saw that there was still some incense left in her hand. After thinking about it, she decided to offer some incense to the original owner of the body as well.
Brother... no, sister, I have paid off the debt you owed me. I have also taken the brunt of your debt. You are in this world, and you can't bring anything with you when you are born, and you can't take anything with you when you die, so go with peace of mind.
"I'm fine, let's keep going."
After burning incense, Bai Ningning's eyes were slightly red. Qin Yue and Qin Xin didn't know what was going on, and it was not convenient to ask in this situation, so they could only keep their heads down and continue walking forward.
The next place for burning incense was more lively, and the incense was much stronger than the previous one.
Bai Ningning had come out of her emotions and asked Qin Xin: "Which Bodhisattva is in charge here, and what is the use?"
Qin Xin shook her head: "I don't know which Bodhisattva it is, but I am praying for my child to pass the exam."
Bai Ningning understood: "That should be Wenquxing or something like that."
"Are you going to burn some incense?" Qin Yue asked from the side. "There are a lot of exams in college, such as final exams, certification exams, and CET-4 and CET-6."
Bai Ningning snorted coldly: "It's just a test, do you need to burn incense?"
Who are you looking down on?
Qin Xin had no such plan. She did so well in the final exam because she stayed up all night studying by lamplight every night.
Besides, burning incense is just to pray for a good omen and psychological comfort, not to really ask for the blessing of Buddha.
Qin Yue thought for a while and said, “In this case, let’s go directly to the top of the mountain and wait for the fireworks at twelve o’clock?”
There is a renovated rest area on the top of Xishan Temple for tourists. Xishan Temple is located in the mountains and in the suburbs, so there are no restrictions on fireworks in the city.
Since we can’t set off fireworks in the city, we’re setting them off here to our heart’s content.
West Mountain itself is a small hill with a flat slope and a low top. The three girls walked along the man-made stone steps, stopping and starting, and finally reached the top of the hill before twelve o'clock. They chose a spot and sat down.
"It's great," Bai Ningning looked up at the starry sky, "I've never tried this kind of experience before, it feels so novel."
The girl's eyes were sparkling, as if filled with starlight.
Qin Yue nodded secretly, and her emotions echoed. She had never tried this kind of experience before. On New Year's Eve, she brought her girlfriend and sister to the top of the mountain, waiting for the most brilliant fireworks at twelve o'clock, as if it would be so warm for the rest of her life.
In this situation, she couldn't help but ask the girl: "What do you feel now?"
"I was thinking, what a pity," Bai Ningning said seriously, "If Xuexue had left two days later, she could have come with us."
More people means more fun, don’t you think?
Chapter 22 What Wish
Qin Xin sat quietly beside him.
She knew that someone would be beaten badly if they went back, but she was just nobody.
But that’s not necessarily the case. After all, we’re busy dealing with relatives who come to visit during the New Year, so it’s likely that they’ll write it down in a small notebook and settle the accounts later.
Qin Yue sneered and continued to ask: "From what you said, you think there are not enough people now?"
"Of course the more the better," Bai Ningning said as a matter of course, "the more the better."
The more the merrier.
Qin Yue's eyelids twitched wildly when she saw her self-righteous look, and she thought to herself why she hadn't noticed that you had this flannel-ball mentality before.
"Just wait," she snorted, "It won't be long before you know whether it's good or not."
Qin Yue finally understood that some people become fluff balls for a reason. Even if the other girls have 1% of the problem, Bai Ningning must have at least 99%.
Bai Ningning was puzzled: "What do you mean it won't take long? What will happen in a short time?"
when!when!when!
Qin Yue didn't have time to answer, nor did he need to answer, because at this moment, the big bell of Xishan Temple rang three times in a row, and the sound of the bell echoed in the mountains like waves.
Bai Ningning felt that her pillow was responding to the sound of the bell and was also vibrating in waves.
Until Qin Yue patted Bai Ningning's white silk thighs: "Don't shake."
It's not decent for a child to be sitting outside and shaking his legs.
"Oh," Bai Ningning calmed down, "Okay."
It turned out that I was the one who was shaking, not responding to the message.
The ringing of the bell of Xishan Temple indicates that it is twelve o'clock on New Year's Eve. The old year ends and the new year arrives with the fireworks rising into the sky.
Crackling!
I don’t know how many people brought their own fireworks and rushed to light them at this moment. The sky was instantly lit up by brilliant colors, illuminating the entire night sky.
Because we were sitting on the top of the mountain, not far from where the fireworks exploded, the sound of the fireworks was like thunder, rumbling in our ears.
"It's a rare opportunity to come here. It took so much effort to climb up." Qin Xin said as loudly as possible, "Senior Ningning, if you have any wishes, take this opportunity now."
The fireworks all over the sky can be considered as half a meteor shower, which might be useful.
She spoke as loudly as she could, but even so, Bai Ningning had a hard time hearing her clearly.
"But we didn't buy any fireworks, and we didn't pay for any of the above," Bai Ningning also said loudly, "Isn't it a bit bad to make a wish for free?"
Qin Xin twitched her lips, leaned over to her ear and said, "Why didn't you think so when you were playing games?"
...It seems to make some sense.
So Bai Ningning clasped her hands together and started the Hope Project.
I don’t have any special wishes for the new year, I just hope that everything will go as smoothly as the second half of this year. I started a new life and met many beautiful girls. I hope the new year can be like this.
Qin Xin also raised her head slightly and closed her eyes.
I don’t have any special wishes for the new year. I just hope that I can break through this layer of window paper as soon as possible, so that I won’t have to think of so many excuses.
Qin Yue took a deep breath. The air on the top of the mountain was fresh and quiet.
I don’t have any special wishes for the new year. I just hope... that’s enough. I’m not a child. There’s no need to bother with making or not making wishes.
It all depends on human effort!
The fireworks lasted for a long time, and they were not over yet when the three of them went down the mountain.
"It's almost time, let's go home," Qin Yue called them, "Theoretically you can go back and sleep now."
Staying up all night doesn't mean you have to stay up all night, just enough.
Bai Ningning went to the roadside and bought a bowl of boiled jelly, holding it in her hand and eating it while walking. She had just gone up and down the mountain, and visited her own grave by the way, which made her exhausted.
"Let's go back now, pack up and wash up. We have to go to bed at least until two or three o'clock." Qin Xin suddenly felt a little worried. "Will you be able to get up tomorrow morning? Even if you get up, you won't be very energetic."
Qin Yue looked at her strangely: "If you don't feel energetic tomorrow morning, just continue to sleep and get up before lunch. No one is forcing you to get up... and it's not good to feel energetic. Just don't recognize the wrong person when you greet them."
"Is that all?" Qin Xin was worried. "Some relatives will be coming tomorrow."
The relatives of the Qin family are the ones I met at the previous party.
"Yes, but tomorrow is the first day of the new year," Qin Yue curled her lips, "On the first day of the new year, we won't say anything that might cause a conflict. We won't talk about any bad things. They say that's unlucky."
Qin Xin was stunned, because...
"But they used to say those things to me every New Year's Day, didn't they?"
Before Bai Ningning attended the first Qin family gathering, the traditional arts that were the reserved items on the Qin family dinner table.
"Because they think it's a joke, not a real one," Qin Yue laughed. "The things that Chuyi chose to avoid are the real things."
Qin Xin curled her lips: "After hearing what you said, should I feel happy?"
"It's up to you. They won't say anything about it in the future anyway."
The two sisters talked more and more excitedly, but Bai Ningning just blinked blankly.
On the one hand, she didn't know when the Qin sisters had such a good relationship and they spoke in sync. On the other hand... what were they talking about?
"I don't quite understand what you are talking about," Bai Ningning asked directly, "Is there anything wrong with the relatives?"
"It's not a big deal, Senior Ningning," Qin Xin said, "You've been through it several times anyway."
Whether it was the proactive battle at the first gathering or the defensive counterattack at the second gathering, Bai Ningning had experienced it personally.
"I don't quite understand, but it's okay as long as it's not a big deal."
Bai Ningning only understood half of what she heard, but she was too lazy to ask any more questions. After all, nothing was more important than going back to sleep.
"Can I sleep in tomorrow?" she suddenly asked this question.
Qin Yue said lightly: “You can sleep if you want.”
With the way your parents dote on you now, you don’t even have to get up to eat lunch.
"Okay, then I'll go back and finish my mobile game mission before going to sleep."
It’s Chinese New Year, and all mobile games are launching Spring Festival activities, so you definitely have to complete the event tasks.
When they got home, it was still relatively early. Qin's father and mother had not returned yet. It was obvious that this mahjong game would continue until late at night.
After taking a shower and going to bed, Bai Ningning wanted to play a mobile game, but as soon as her head touched the pillow, she couldn't help feeling sleepy. Climbing up and down the mountain in the middle of the night was really a bit of a sleep aid.
"No, I'm going to sleep first," Bai Ningning pulled the quilt, "Sister Yueyue, Junior Sister Qin Xin, good night."
The girl slept soundly without any care in the world, but Qin Yue and Qin Xin didn't fall asleep so quickly.
Qin Yue gave her sister a look, meaning, what wish did you make on the mountain?
She was a little curious.
Qin Xin blinked, meaning who knows.
Zzzz
Chapter 23 is coming
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Bai Ningning slept well at night, showing no signs of being attached to her bed like she did the night before.
