Chapter Seventy-Two: The Day of the Luna
Espurna said excitedly, "Grandpa, can I go to this school?" Oripulf stopped and touched Espurna's little head and replied, "Of course, it's a very good magic school, and a good little magician like Espurna can definitely go there." Oripulf asked curiously, "Espuna, why do you ask this?" ”
Espurna said with a smile: "Yi Tianshu said that he signed up for this school. Oripurforno thoughtfully touched his beard and said, "I see." ”
Espurna looked at Oripulf's expression and asked with some confusion, "Grandpa, is that school difficult?" Oripulf shook his head and said, "No, this school is only accessible to the descendants of those who are the best in their magical skills. ”
When he got home, Oripurf weaved lanterns with Espurna at the dining table.
Espena asked curiously, "Grandpa, what is the Lunar Festival, I haven't heard you say it before." ”
Oripulf hesitated for a moment and replied leisurely: "Luna Festival is a traditional festival in our family, even if many people in the family no longer participate in this festival. Oripulf looked at Espurna's curious gaze and continued, "The festival of the moon has its origins in ancient times, and it has ancient roots in our family. Legend has it that this day is the birthday of the moon god, and every night when the moon rises to the highest point, we will place sacrifices in the open space, and then make a wish to the lantern, then light the candle under the lantern, let the lantern fly into the sky, and send our blessings and wishes to the moon god, hoping that the moon god can help us achieve it. After that, we will look up to the stars to predict our future fortunes. ”
Estuna asked curiously, "Why is it our family tradition?" Oripulf smiled and said, "This is our family secret, and we will tell you when you grow up." Espurna pouted and said, "Grandpa hates it." Hum. ”
Oripulf smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'm going to make pastries when I'm done." ”
Espurna smiled and said, "Are there any pastries?" Oripulf nodded and said, "Yes, you'll know when the time comes." Espena said, "Okay." Then he began to make the lanterns in earnest.
When the lanterns were ready, Oripulf said to Spotted, "Spotted, have you seen that the pastry is ready?" Maddara hurriedly came to the kitchen, and after a while he returned, he said respectfully, "Master, the pastry will be ready for half an hour." ”
Oripulf nodded and said, "Very good, when you are ready, you will get to the open space in the center of the field." Madara bowed and said, "Yes, master." ”
Oripurf looked at Espurna and said, "Espurna, let's go to the field center and clean up a clearing. ”
Espena nodded and went to the field with Oripulf, and in a few moments cleared a clearing in the field.
The sun was setting and the sky was gradually covered by night, and little by little the moon came to its highest point.
Espurna found the moon to be exceptionally bright and full today.
In a few moments, Madara arrived in the clearing with a large number of pastries, filling the table.
Espurna looked at the pastries on the table, including mochi, pies, scones, biscuits, sesame balls, glutinous rice and sesame balls, and a large pot of lemon tea.
As the moon got higher and higher to the highest point, I saw Orepulf suddenly close together, and at this time, I saw the black clouds in the sky suddenly retreat, and the bright galaxy appeared above the starry sky. Aspna's mouth widened in surprise.
At this time, Oripulf said in a loud voice: "Diosa de la Lu, the god of the moon
a), we come to you and offer my sacrifice, may you still guide us in the darkness, so that we will never lose the light in our hearts! ……”
After a long prayer, Oripurf looked at Espurna and said, "Come, make a wish together and let the lanterns fly." I saw Orepurf pick up a lantern, close his eyes, silently make a wish, and then light the candle under the lantern, and then let go of his hands. The lantern slowly flew away and floated into the air.
Seeing this, Espurna also picked up a lantern, closed her eyes and silently made a wish, and then lit a candle and released the lantern.
Lots of lanterns were lit and released into the air, like a road to the galaxy.
After the lanterns were released, Oripulf said, "Hungry, Estina. By this time, Aspna's already hungry aunt was screaming. She nodded and said, "I'm hungry indeed." Oripulf said, "Come and eat together." ”
When Espurna heard this, her eyes lit up, and she sat down at the table and picked up a glutinous rice sesame ball and took a bite. At this time, she was surprised to find that although she had been outside for a long time, it was still not cold.
Oripurf looked at Epuna who was gulping down and asked, "Do you know what spell it is to keep the food from cooling?" Espena swallowed the food in her mouth, thought for a moment, and said, "It's a keep warm spell!" The Foundational Thirty Family Spells, page 20. Oripulf smiled and said, "Yes, yes, indeed, it seems that you have already read the Basic Thirty Family Curses by heart." Espurna grinned and touched her head.
After eating, Oripulfo stood and looked up at the starry sky, while Espurna lay on her back in the open space and looked at the sky.
At this time, Aspuna suddenly felt her own insignificance and loneliness in the face of the vast starry sky, and she suddenly sighed helplessly.
Oripulf smiled and said, "What's the matter, Aspna?" What are you sighing at a young age? ”
Espurna hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "I miss my parents. When Orepulf heard this, his heart chuckled. Then she also learned that Espena lay down in the open space and asked, "Why?" Espurna said slowly, "I haven't seen my parents, maybe I forgot." But I still miss them, and I don't know why they abandoned me. ”
Oripulf thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "How do you know they've abandoned you?" Maybe they have a reason to do it, or maybe it's to keep you safe? Espurna choked up and said, "Grandpa, do you know where they are?" I really miss them. ”
Oripurf looked up at the starry sky and was silent for a while, and said: "Epna, you have to believe that every parent loves their children, and some of their choices are forced and some are forced to do so, but you must know that no matter where you are, they will pray silently for you." Be happy, maybe they will see you grow happily from the stars? ”
Espurna was silent for a while, then stopped choking and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you are right, I may have wished my parents to be happy. Grandpa, can you teach me astrology? ”
"You're too young to learn astrology, but I can teach you to recognize the signs and constellations," said Orepurf with a smile. ”
Espurna nodded happily.
Oripulf stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky and said, "Look, this is the galaxy, over there is the constellation of Centaurs, over there is the constellation Sagittarius, and over there is the Big Dipper......
Espurna looked at the endless galaxy, the bright moon seemed to be watching her, and then a sense of sleepiness slowly hit, Espurna closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.
Oripulf looked at the sleeping Espurna and smiled and said, "This kid. ”
