Xia Zhi walked past the grand halls with Xiao Hei, a small black fish. She didn't kneel or worship, but smiled and placed two branches of jasmine flowers in front of each Buddha statue. Today, the cherries and flowers she brought sold very well, and she wanted to thank these Buddhas.
In front of the Great Buddha Temple, there are three halls in total, each enshrining different Buddha statues. Each hall is filled with incense smoke and many pilgrims, but the last hall has the most flourishing incense offerings and is also where young men and women linger the most. There are also many families bringing their younger generations to worship, and they all look very devout in their kneeling and praying.
Xia Zhi looked carefully inside the gate of the main hall, but didn't see any familiar faces.
Sun Lan'er wanted to speak but stopped, and finally refused to tell her about the taboos of the Great Buddha Temple. Xia Zhi had already learned about it on his way to Lai Lin Shui Town. The Great Buddha Temple is quite ancient, so there are many stories behind it. One of them is a story about a young couple who fell in love due to their shared faith and became a hundred-year-old perfect match. It's said that praying for marriage at the Great Buddha Temple is the most effective way.
Xia Zhi didn't believe in such legends, even if it was to ask for a marriage match, she should go to the Matchmaker's Temple (although she also had doubts about the Matchmaker's Temple). However, people around Linshui Town were very convinced. As a result, young men and women who came here to burn incense and pray for marriage matches, as well as parents who hoped their children would get married soon, were particularly numerous. Over time, the temple fair of the Great Buddha Temple had become a sacred place for young men and women to meet and date.
Of course, it's still mainly blind dates.
Watching strangers date is never as interesting as watching familiar people date. Xia Zhi laughed and watched for a while, but Xiao Hei Yu felt bored and urged her to continue walking.
It seemed that there were still temples in the back, but the doors leading to the back were closed, indicating that incense guests should stop here. However, this didn't stump Little Black Fish. The little guy led Da Qing to take a peek here and there, and unexpectedly found a half-hidden moon gate.
"Uncle, I think we shouldn't let him see it anymore," Xia Zhi said.
"Sixteen, can't we just go in and take a look?" Little Black Fish was having so much fun, negotiating with Xia Zhi, her big eyes blinking rapidly, making it hard for Xia Zhi to refuse.
They can't be considered as disturbing guests, even if it's a quiet room in the back, they won't bother anyone, just take a look at the scenery, stroll around and leave, shouldn't be a problem.
Xia Zhi nodded slightly. In fact, she had also thought that since she was already there, she should take a look at all the scenery. That's right, Xia Zhi positioned herself not as a pilgrim, but as a tourist.
They entered the Moon Cave Gate and, as expected, there was another hall, but it was empty with no one in sight. The door of the main hall was still locked. Xia Zhi and Xiao Hei Yu looked inside for a moment, but the light was insufficient, so they couldn't see clearly. The interior layout was similar to the previous three halls. Xia Zhi guessed that some renovation work must be underway here, so it was not open to incense guests.
Behind the empty and grand hall, there is another courtyard. This courtyard does not have any halls, only green pines and cypresses, as well as a few scattered white pagodas, exceptionally quiet and secluded.
Xia Zhi stood in the middle of the courtyard, taking a deep breath. She didn't understand Feng Shui, but she felt that if there was such a thing as Feng Shui, then the Feng Shui here must be excellent. After strolling for half a day, Xiao Hei Yu was still full of energy, but Xia Zhi worried that he would get tired, so she suggested: "Old uncle, let's take a break here. It's shady."
"Agreed." Little Black Fish responded with relish.
Two children sat on the roots of a tree under an ancient cypress with a big green dog.
"Old uncle, let's count how much money we made today?" Xia Zhi had been wanting to do this for a long time. Although she had a rough idea of how much they had earned in her heart, she still wanted to know the exact amount.
The little black fish obviously thought this was a good idea too, and nodded repeatedly.
Two children took out their money bags and started counting the money in low voices. The wind blew gently, the ancient cypress trees stood tall, extremely quiet and peaceful. This peace was soon broken by footsteps.
First to appear was a young girl wearing a yellow blouse and green skirt, hurrying along with a handkerchief clutched in her hand. Next, a youth in a blue shirt came bounding after her, catching up to the girl in just a few strides.
"Cousin sister, what are you doing?" The young man's voice was slightly low.
The girl hung her head, pinched a handkerchief and wiped the corner of her eyes, which were slightly red. She turned around to face the boy, standing very close to him, with her pretty nose almost touching the boy's chest.
"Cousin brother, why are you still chasing me? I've offended Third Miss, just let me go. She's a young lady from a scholarly family, while I'm just a humble person relying on your family to survive. Cousin brother, why must you intervene?"
"Cousin sister, you also know Sanmei's temperament, Sanmei has a mouth but no heart." The young man frowned.
"And what about you, brother?"
"I..."
"Alright, let's avoid the crowd and go burn incense together. I've been waiting for you for half a day, making people... laugh at me. I went to find you, but you...". The girl's tone was no longer as sharp as before, but instead soft and gentle, seemingly filled with endless grievance, yet also overflowing with deep emotions.
"Cousin," the young man's eyes were deep and mysterious, "I..." but then I couldn't say anything for half a day.
"Big brother, you always do this! From now on... I don't want to have anything to do with you!" The girl turned around and ran towards Xia Zhi and Xiao Hei Yu's direction.
Summer solstice is somewhat dazed.
When the siblings rushed in, she heard the commotion and immediately stopped counting money, also silencing Xiao Hei Yu and Da Qing. This chasing and running around, either a rascal is chasing a young girl or lovers are having a small disagreement for fun. In the former case, they would look for an opportunity to lend a hand. As for the latter, it's not good to disturb others.
Then, that voice made Xia Zhi feel like he had heard it before.
Now she saw the girl's face again.
The girl was not wearing a veil at the moment. Xia Zhi took a glance and recognized that this cousin, was actually Bing Er from outside the temple gate. But the young man's voice was clearly not that of the peach blossom-eyed cousin from outside the temple gate. Another cousin! And the two people's appearance was clearly not just that of ordinary cousins.
Girl, how many good elder brothers do you have?
The girl Bing'er didn't see the summer solstice, and she walked slowly, swaying from side to side, getting slower and slower. At the fork in the road ahead, she hesitated for a moment, glanced back, then ran to the left.
There was a white tower there, which just blocked the girl's figure and also blocked the boy's line of sight.
The young man stood there like a wooden chicken, and it wasn't until then that he came back to his senses, shouting "cousin" as he chased after her in big strides.
The young man's wheat-colored skin was similar to that of the peach blossom eye youth, but he had a pair of phoenix eyes. At this moment, he slightly furrowed his brow, and his eyes seemed like deep pools.
As he passed by the big cypress tree, the young man saw Xia Zhi and Xiao Hei Yu Er, and his footsteps paused for a moment.
"Hey kid, have you eaten?" Xia Zhi waved his hand.
