[22] Fireworks • Make a wish
Finally, we ascended to the Temple of Wishing.
The silhouette of the temple, hidden in the evening mist and bright lights, is a classical Chinese architectural style, with a giant tripod in the middle and incense burners on both sides.
Even though it was evening, the temple was still crowded with people, crowded inside and outside the temple.
As for the reason why so many people gather here - it is because of the unique annual festival of Yanxue Town, people will set off fireworks at 10 o'clock in the evening on this day, if you make a wish on the fireworks in the temple and its vicinity, sign on a wooden skewer and throw it in the fire, the wish may come true - plus this is a honeymoon town, and there are rumors that making a wish to marry here will be happy with the person you love for a lifetime.
"Ji Shen...... How long will it take for the fireworks to start? ”
Ruri asked beside me, I turned on my phone, swiped to unlock it, and looked at the time - it was 9:50, and there should be ten minutes left before the fireworks would go off.
"There are still ten minutes left, let's go get the wooden sticks first."
As I said, I saw a large number of free wooden sticks placed in front of the temple, and it is said that the monks who would take care of the temple would light the flame in the giant dome for visitors to cast the wooden sticks with their wishes written on them.
"Hmm."
We walked to the front of the sticks and picked them up.
"Those big sisters are so beautiful......"
While waiting in line to pick it up, a little boy holding his mother's leg looked at us and said.
"What a cute little brother......
The senior sister seemed to be unable to resist teasing the little boy, went up and leaned down, and touched the little boy's head.
Well, everyone is really laid-back, but fortunately, Senpai and Alice didn't say anything obscene to me just now, so it looks like we should be friends.
"Are all the sisters the wives of that big brother?"
The little boy was touched by the senior sister, his little face was a little red, and he raised his head and looked at us innocently and said.
Not really! Is it another misunderstanding!? The owner of the dart throwing shop just now had a misunderstanding, and now even the children are ......
Although it's not good to hurt myself, but will an ordinary-looking person like me have a husband and wife with everyone!?
"It's not...... We came out to play as a community. ”
In order not to make the little boy's mother feel weird, I scratched the back of my head and explained awkwardly.
"Hehe, little brother, are you the president?"
We were still in line, and the little boy's mother asked me.
"Hmmm......"
"It's also fun for the president to bring the members to the honeymoon town."
The little boy's mother covered her mouth and chuckled...... Damn, it's really hard to escape suspicion! I hate you in the Darkmoon Chamber of Commerce!
With complaints about the Darkmoon Chamber of Commerce, we finally lined up to receive the lots, and received a wooden slot from a monk.
"Then it's just a matter of waiting."
Standing in front of the temple, we held wooden sticks and looked at the serene starry sky.
I looked at my watch, and there were still three minutes left before the fireworks went off.
"Junior brother, give you a pen, you can write down your wishes later......"
At this time, the senior sister noticed that I didn't have a pen, so she took out a pen from the small bag and gave it to me.
"Okay."
I took my sister's pen and started waiting for the fireworks to go off.
Saying...... Now, what do I want, I don't understand......
My wish......
I looked at the starry sky and the people waiting to pray, and I was a little confused.
In other words, I am now accompanied by people from the Department of Psychological Research, holding wooden sticks and pens in their hands, and their beautiful faces reflected in the candlelight...... With beautiful smiles on their faces, they laughed and talked about something.
"Is the cat's wish to eat a big meal in the New Year......"
"No, senior sister——!"
Looking at their smiles in the candlelight, I felt that it was the most beautiful scenery.
A month ago, when I fought to the death with Xue Aotian at the top of the Ninety-Nine Heavens of the Silver Moon, knowing that I might die, I thought of my parents and relatives, and at the same time I thought of everyone......
If I don't survive this battle, everyone will feel sorry for me......
In the future, I will definitely go abroad to exercise, and in the future, I will also become the leader of the mafia that rules the dark side of Yangyue Province - maybe, I will stand at a peak that no one can match...... The pinnacle of loneliness.
"The fireworks are about to go off!"
The senior sister looked at her watch excitedly and said.
"Mom, ten seconds left, ten seconds left!"
The little brother next to him shouted at the middle-aged woman.
Everyone was counting down the time, and some had already picked up a pen and were ready to write down their wishes under the wooden sticks.
My wish is......
"Five seconds—"
Everyone looked forward to that moment, and they all picked up their pens and waited—the light of the temple illuminated the tip of everyone's pen and the expectant eyes of everyone
My wish......
"Three-"
Someone shouted out loud, counting down to the last time-
"Two—"
"One ——!"
My wish is—
"Put!"
For a moment—the sky seemed to have cracked, and a shining trail crossed the dark curtain—
"Whoa—"
"Oooh-"
With the sound of fireworks flying into the night sky, people cheered -
"-Bang-"
Then, in the next moment, a backlog of golden flashes burst in the sky—
Fireworks burst into the air in an instant, just like an epiphany when a flower blooms, slowly blooming in the air with brilliant colorful light - the colorful light of fireworks rushes in the air, sublimation, and flows......
In an instant, people's faces were illuminated by the light of the fireworks, and the light of the brilliant fireworks was reflected in everyone's pupils...... The moment I saw the fireworks go off, I finally knew what I wanted to write on the stick.
With a slight smile, I wrote my wish on the wooden stick, clipped the wooden stick with both hands, looked at the fireworks, and slowly recited my wish silently in my heart.
Although I have never believed in superstition, although my previous wishes have rarely been fulfilled, although I have no clear wishes before.
But I still made a wish—I wrote the most desired thing in my heart on a wooden stick.
"Ji Shen...... What did you write? ”
Ruri looked at me curiously, and asked in a low voice, the fireworks were still blooming, and the firelight reflected her cheeks.
"Ahem...... If you say it, it won't work. ”
I coughed lightly and put the sticks away.
The Flame Peak behind him has been lit, and tourists have already thrown wooden sticks into the flames one after another, casting their wishes to the gods.
"Good...... I may have fulfilled my wish. ”
The senior sister clasped her palms together and said with a smile, and everyone seemed to have written down their wishes and prayers.
"Well, let's vote together."
I said, and then we followed the crowd of voters and walked towards the Flame Peak.
“…… Wish...... It can be done. ”
Standing in front of the top of the fire, the flames were blown by the wind, swaying and swaying, and the figures in the firelight also trembled with the wind, I prayed again in my heart, and then threw the wooden stick in my hand into the fire—
"God Ji has made a wish......
Everyone also stepped forward one after another and voted for the lottery in their hands.
Fireworks continued to bloom behind us – recording the time spent in Yanxue Town during the winter holidays.
"Na...... Brother God, what wish have you made? ”
Alice took the trouble to come up and said to me as I was about to go down the mountain.
"That's it...... I feel that Ji Shen hesitated for a long time just now, and then made a wish very seriously......"
The cat also came up curiously and asked.
"Uh...... It's nothing......"
I blushed and scratched my head.
If you tell it, it won't work.
Thinking like this, I looked at the vast sky, and the brilliant fireworks—
With a slight smile, with everyone, walk through the twists and turns of the mountain road-
……
【Wooden Skewers in the Firelight...... Gradually, it burned, and the crooked font flickered in the firelight—
The wooden skewer was very clear, and a few words were written very clearly.
A few words that entrust the dream of a certain multi-personality teenager known as a pervert are presented in the firelight-
——[I hope to be with everyone in the Psychological Research Department, always, always together.] 】
