At half past eleven o'clock, the Spring Festival Gala had not yet ended, and the old couple was still watching the programs on TV with great interest in front of the TV.

"The Spring Festival Gala is getting more and more boring. Wu Cuimei yawned and complained, "People in this Spring Festival Gala can't distinguish between men and women, everyone looks like women, and there are a lot of nonsense words, I don't understand them at all, do you say this is for us ordinary people, or for rich people? These messy programs are not good-looking at all, and these women are all good-looking." I didn't understand it, and I thought it was for a rich person to choose a wife, but I was really bored, so I went to sleep. ”

"Qingshan, if you still don't watch it, don't watch it, I'll turn off the TV. Liu Yuanhe got up and asked.

Liu Qingshan was busy packing up his things, and replied: "I don't look at it, I'm going to the temple, you see." ”

"It's so early, do you really want to be the first every year?" Liu Yuanhe turned off the TV and followed his son to the kitchen, only to find that this kid was even ready for tea.

"That's, you must fight for the first place, do you want to go together?" asked Liu Qingshan.

Liu Yuanhe hurriedly waved his hand: "I won't go, you can go by yourself, look at it......"

"Phew, don't talk nonsense, you go to bed. Liu Qingshan interrupted his father's words, and then packed up his things.

The things to be packed up at this time are naturally the things to be taken to worship God and offer tea.

Every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, after twelve o'clock, the villagers will spontaneously set out from their homes and go to the temple to worship God with offerings.

Liu Qingshan has always insisted on it since he could go to the temple alone to worship God, and he has never stopped.

This year is the same, I packed up the things for the tea ceremony early, and rushed to the temple to wait.

If you really don't leave until after twelve o'clock, then when you get to the temple, it will be crowded.

So he kept a careful eye and went to the temple at half past eleven every year, and this year was the same.

The mountain village in the middle of the night, especially such a late night that carries two years, always gives people a sense of melodious and far-reaching.

It was as if the darkness of the night was not black, but the black ink wafting in the air, completely drowning the person.

Liu Qingshan carried the basket all the way to the village temple.

When he was afraid of the dark before, he was not afraid of this time period.

What's more, now that he relies on divine power, after he becomes more and more bold, he is even more afraid.

Besides, the mountain village on this winter night has its own bit of beauty, so why be afraid.

Although the night in the middle of winter is a little cold, but it is cold and beautiful, if you encounter the starry sky, meet the moon that writes all the lead and quietly take care of the mountain villages for a whole night, it is the most beautiful and beautiful.

There is no moon tonight, though.

Even without the moon, the night was still transparent.

Although the withered weeds on the roadside are a little desolate, they are not sad and unhappy waiting for the revival of spring, while all kinds of fir trees, pine trees, bamboo and other holly are still proudly sprinkled with verdant, and at night, they are more dignified and beautiful, calm and serene.

Liu Qingshan looked at the night view of these mountain villages, thinking that he was the first to pray in the temple again, and his face couldn't help but be full of smiles.

When I arrived at the village temple, there was really no one around, only the dim street lamp stood in the open space in front of the village temple, lazily spreading a thin veil on the ground.

There was not a single car in the open space, which meant that no one had come in yet, so he was the first person to come here.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Qingshan was happy in his heart.

After all, this kind of prayer and blessing is about sincerity, and the first time he came here to keep the time, it can be seen that he is sincere.

He carried his things and walked happily to the temple.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the temple, I was taken aback.

A figure stood in the temple, standing upright in the courtyard, without making a sound, so that it was not scary.

Liu Qingshan instinctively shook his body, feeling that his little heart was almost jumping out of his throat.

However, in the next moment, after the flashlight in his hand shone on the man, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Chen Xiaofang, why are you here?"

Chen Xiaofang had already heard the footsteps, so she was not startled by Liu Qingshan's appearance, so she replied with an indifferent expression: "Why can't I be here." ”

Liu Qingshan paused, and asked, "I mean, why did you come so early?"

The tone at the end of the sentence was a little unkind.

This Chen Xiaofang is so annoying, why did she come so early, in this way, she will rob her of the first title. Nasty, nasty, nasty!

Originally, Liu Qingshan was 100% sure that he was the first place again this year, but who knew that he actually killed such a guy as Chen Xiaofang halfway.

Alas, in vain he began to prepare the tea at eleven o'clock, but it turned out to be empty.

In addition, Chen Xiaofang's reputation in the village is increasingly surpassing him, and the people in the village always like to talk to Chen Xiaofang about him, so this rebellious psychology is inexplicably about to work.

In fact, sometimes people are really cheap, and deep down they obviously like that person, but they just want to show that they hate him......

Liu Qingshan had a straight face, and looked at Chen Xiaofang, who had grabbed the first place, with an unhappy expression.

Chen Xiaofang laughed twice indifferently: "Hehe, you can come so early, why can't I?"

Chen Xiaofang didn't have a car, so it was estimated that she came in on foot, so there was no car in the open space outside.

Therefore, if she wanted to walk back to the old village from the other village, it was estimated that she would have set off at eleven o'clock, otherwise it would not have been possible to arrive here so early.

Thinking that Chen Xiaofang's sincerity was more than his own, Liu Qingshan was even more depressed: "You are a girl, what are you doing when you come to serve tea in the middle of the night? Aren't you afraid of meeting bad people?"

"Bad for you. Chen Xiaofang glared and said, "Don't talk nonsense during the Chinese New Year." ”

"Why am I talking nonsense, what I'm saying is the truth, you said that you are a girl's house, and you walked in the middle of the night in the third watch, is it necessary to do this? As long as you are sincere, it will be the same if you come to the tea tomorrow, you have to come in the middle of the night?"

"You can come in the middle of the night, why can't I?"

"Am I like you? I'm a man. ”

"What's wrong with men? What happened to women?" Chen Xiaofang hated the concept of patriarchy.

Because she is the second daughter of her parents, her parents gave her away to raise her in order to have a son.

Although she has no impression of her biological parents, and she also loves her adoptive father and grandmother very much, she just hates the kind of people who look down on women.

What's wrong with women? What's wrong with men? What age is this? Still look down on women?
