II.07: Chasing dragonflies in the field

Looking from a distance, I saw a group of people wearing neat white T-shirts, walking on the streets of Japan, tall, short, fat and thin, 6 people who were old and young were slowly bathing in the scenery of the early morning in Japan, walking leisurely on the street, Xia Qiao held a small national flag and walked in front, like a small tour guide, very eye-catching and particularly loving, why did I think this was the tour group playing.

On the way, Xia Qiao explained their itinerary in Osaka to everyone, and in the morning, I first walked around the Dotonbori Food Street, there is an art museum here, as the saying goes, when you go to a city, you have to go to see their art gallery, museum, enjoy the scenery along the way, see the food and culture, I was in a hurry after arriving yesterday, so I didn't appreciate it well; Then at noon, find a thriving shop nearby to taste the local food, then go to the castle tower in the afternoon, just past Osaka Castle Park, and come back in the evening to check out the Shinsaibashi neighborhood.

Because the morning time is relatively short, their first stop is set at the ukiyo-e museum above, which is a small art museum, which shows some of Osaka and Kyoto in the Edo period of Japan, there are many exquisite ukiyo-e albums and some artworks, and you can also experience painting, but you need to make an appointment in advance, so they can only go to visit quietly, the art museum can not take pictures, and their group checked in together at the door, which can be regarded as a visit.

Then I came to the Fashan Temple that is relatively close to here, Xia Qiao chose this place but has her own careful thoughts, when she did the strategy, she saw that many people said that Fashan Temple is very spiritual, many people came here to pray for blessings, both local people who do business here to pray for blessings, and a lot of young people to seek marriage, many men and women come to visit, of course, Xia Qiao is also one of them.

Hozenji Temple, also known as Hozenji Yokocho. Yokomachi means alley in Japanese. Fazenji Temple was built in the 17th century, there are many pale yellow lanterns hanging in front of the temple, on which are written some strong and powerful brush characters, because the temple is in the middle of the bustling city, there is a different kind of poetry in the middle of the noise.

This is a super small and delicate temple, you can see it all at a glance, Xia Qiao came to Japan and felt that many things were very mini, not particularly big, but it felt very cozy, very comfortable, and it was easy to make people feel refreshed.

As soon as you enter the temple, you will see a moss-covered green statue of the Fudo King. The reason why it is called that the water does not move is that this Buddha statue is actually made of natural trees, and the body of the Buddha is covered with leaves and moss, and it is very special that passers-by who come to worship must pour water on the Buddha statue before praying.

Xia Qiao and his party walked here, Xia Qiao immediately took out a small notebook from his bag and looked at something carefully. "This place, don't look at it small, this is a small temple, called Hozenji Temple, it is said that Osaka was hit by air raids when the entire temple was burned down, only this statue of Fudo was magically left, since where, many people come here to pray for special benefits, so there are many tourists who come to worship every day."

Xia Qiao acted as a temporary tour guide: "Before making a wish, pour water on this green Buddha statue, and then make a wish, we can all make a wish." Xia Qiao looked happy and encouraged the others.

At this time, my grandmother spoke first: "Although this place is very good, but I am so old, and I don't have any wishes, you young people are suitable for these, you may, I can just take a walk here." Then my grandmother walked around here by herself.

Xia Qiao's parents were also not very interested in these, shook their heads, waved their hands and said to Xia Qiao: "If you have a boyfriend, we will be satisfied, let's go around, this you young people will try white." Then after speaking, his eyes drifted to Lin Yi, and the two old men also went around by themselves, leaving Xia Qiao, Lin Yi and Qiao Zijie.

Xia Qiao looked at the refusals one after another, his expression was not very clear, and he only looked at Lin Yi and Qiao Zijie blankly.

Qiao Zijie watched the two of them standing here motionless, and thought, since neither of them moved, then I will try it myself first, and then walked towards the statue of Fudo two steps by step, gently scooped up a scoop of water, poured it on it, folded my hands, and made a wish reverently. Then he retreated in front of the two men who were frozen.

With his hands in his trouser pockets, he said to them coolly, "Okay, I tried." Go and try it too. "Then I went for a walk and went to find my grandmother.

Only Xia Qiao looked at Lin Yi and blinked twice: "Then I'll go first." ”

Xia Qiao scooped up a scoop of water with a sincere request, and when he was holding the water, he was thinking about his wishes, and then slowly and gently looked at the Buddha statue upside down, then folded his hands, closed his eyes, and silently made a wish three times in his heart. Then I opened my eyes and looked at the Buddha statue with a smile, feeling happy and hoping that my wish would come true.

I hope that the person I like also likes me.

I hope that the people I love will be in good health.

I hope my work will go smoothly.

……

By noon, the sun had slowly risen to the sky, and on this sunny day, Lin Yi was left with his camera on his back, looking up at the sunlight coming out of the clouds, and then he kept looking at something somewhere.

After Xia Qiao made a wish, he turned around and smiled happily and trotted towards Lin Yi, his hands naturally wrapped around Lin Yi's pocket arm, and looked up at Lin Yi.

Xia Qiao smiled at the wood that couldn't see any change in her slightly coquettish tone, "You can also try it, it's nothing, and you won't lose a piece of meat or anything." I can pray for the safety and health of my family, which is also a good blessing. ”

Lin subconsciously lowered his head and looked at his encircled arm, and then glanced at Xia Qiao again, the breeze blew, gently blowing a few broken wisps of Xia Qiao

Xia Qiao looked at Lin Yimeow's hands and suddenly reacted.

yes, I'm not his girlfriend, so it doesn't seem appropriate, he probably doesn't like physical contact, he's not going to be angry.

As he spoke, he put his hand down and immediately explained: "That, I didn't mean it. Then his eyes looked at Lin Yi's arm again, "You won't be angry, right?" I just think that everyone is here, we are too distant, and we will be targeted by the fiery eyes of our family. ”

Xia Qiao had to laugh awkwardly.

Lin Yi also reacted, "It's okay, I will cooperate with you in the future, then I will also go and pray, you wait for me here for a while, and then we will meet them immediately." As he spoke, Lin Yi pointed to a roof next to him.

The noon sun began to get hot, Lin Yi also quickly made a wish, and then looked at Xia Qiao and Xia Qiao went to find someone else to go to the next place.

Xia Qiao asked Lin Yi very jokingly: "Do you believe in these things?" That's what I prayed for. ”

"Maybe the heart is sincere." Lin Yi looked at Xia Qiao with a gentle look in his eyes.
