Chapter 3 Worship
The stone didn't wake up until it was close to noon the next day.
After opening his eyes, the stone met Little Nicole's dark eyes.
"Why don't you wake up your brother when you wake up? I'm hungry!"
"I'm not hungry!"
Little Nicole said she was not hungry, but her little belly screamed at this time.
"My stomach is screaming, and you still say you're not hungry?"
The stone made a grimace at little girl, pulled away the quilt and drilled out.
Little Nicole covered her face with a quilt because she was embarrassed, but now she saw her brother get up, and she also lifted the quilt and planned to get up.
"It's very cold today. Don't get out of bed."
With that, the stone lifted the quilt and covered her again, and then turned over and got out of bed.
I didn't feel particularly cold when I was **. As soon as I stood on the ground, the stone couldn't help shivering.
After wearing his shoes, the stone quickly came to the side of the fire, put on the shelf with dry firewood, and started the fire.
After the fire rose, the stone felt a little warmer.
Before the body began to heat up, the stone left the edge of the fire.
The stone came to the side of the big bed, removed a few bricks, took out the cloth bag containing the fish, took out the longest black carp from the cloth bag, and then carefully put the bricks.
Looking at the black silver carp in his hand, Stone turned his head and smiled at the little girl who was looking at him and said, "Wait a little longer, my brother will quickly cook the fish soup."
"Uh-huh!"
Little Nicole answered, tightened the quilt, and just lay down on ** and looked at the busy stone.
Although it is very cold outside, because the fire in the broken temple has not been completely extinguished, the water in the broken water tank in the temple has not frozen.
After taking out the intact wooden basin from under the table, the stone first scooped a little cold water from the broken water tank, and then scooped up a little hot water from the black pot and mixed it with a small half a basin of warm water.
"Little Nicole, lie down obediently. I'll go outside and clean up the fish."
"Go, brother! Little Nicole will lie down obediently.
Hearing Little Nicole's words, Stone smiled, threw the black silver carp into the wooden basin, and walked to the temple gate with the wooden basin.
After putting down the wooden basin, the stone turned around and looked at Xiao Nier, and then opened the temple door.
As soon as the temple door was opened, a cold wind with snowflakes drilled from the corner of the stone into the stone's clothes.
"It's still snowing today, and I don't know if the snow can stop the day after tomorrow."
Although Stone will not wear new clothes on New Year's Day, he still has a look forward to the New Year.
In the eyes of an eleven or twelve-year-old teenager, he will be one year older, and every year older, he can take better care of his sister.
With a shiver, the stone tightened his clothes, took the wooden basin outside, and then turned around and closed the temple door again.
Walking more than a dozen steps to the right with the wooden basin, the stone began to clean the black silver carp in the wooden basin on the edge of the mountain road entering the mountain.
The stone was very proficient in cleaning up the fish. After a while, the scales and internal organs of the black silver carp were cleaned up.
When the stone opened the temple door with a wooden basin with only a treated black silver carp, Little Nicole was already sitting by the fire.
Seeing that Little Nicole shrank her neck because of the cold wind blowing in, the stone quickly walked into the temple and closed the temple door.
"Why don't you listen to your brother again?"
"Little Nicole didn't disoListen to her brother, but it was too cold."
Hearing this familiar answer, Stone shook his head and threw the black silver carp into the pot.
The black silver carp is half a foot long. If it is boiled into fish soup, it is enough for the stone to have a meal with Little Nicole. However, how can the stone be willing to eat a whole fish in one meal?
After throwing the silver carp into the pot, the stone added some dried vegetable leaves to the pot.
After boiling the fire for about a quarter of an hour, a strong fragrance came from the pot.
Smell the smell of fish from the pot, and the stone and little girl swallowed.
"Brother, are you ready?"
"Hmm! When my brother makes the fire smaller, I will give it to you.
With that, the stone with a fire stick will open some of the fire.
After opening the fire, the stone took the small wooden bowl on the table and picked a large piece of fish in the pot and put it in.
"The soup is still too hot. You take it to warm your hands, and then wait for it to cool down before drinking it slowly."
After explaining, the stone handed the small wooden bowl to Little Nicole.
"Uh-huh!"
After taking over the wooden bowl, although Little Nicole kept swallowing saliva, she still resisted not drinking the fish soup in the bowl directly.
While Little Nicole kept blowing on the fish soup in the small wooden bowl, the stone took the big wooden bowl on the table and filled a large bowl of dried vegetable leaves.
Looking at the little girl who was focusing on the fish soup in the small wooden bowl, the stone smiled and took a deep breath in the big wooden bowl.
Although the wooden bowl is full of dried vegetable leaves, it also has a fish aroma.
"It smells so good!"
Stone whispered to himself and blew up the soup in the wooden bowl.
Because the weather is really cold, although the soup is still rolling in the pot when the stone is serving the soup, the soup in the wooden bowl will be ready to eat soon.
After tasting it, Stone first said to Little Nicole, "It's okay to drink", and then took one sip after another.
Goo-dong! Goo-dong!
After a while, Stone drank a large bowl of soup.
After licking the dried vegetable leaves on the side of the bowl, the stone hesitated for a moment and put a small bowl of dried vegetable leaves in the bowl.
Just as the stone was gently blowing into the soup in the bowl, Little Nicole's voice sounded in his ear.
"Brother, take a bite, and you also take a bite."
Stone turned his head and saw that Little Nicole had raised the small wooden bowl to a height level with her forehead.
"Put it down! Be careful that the soup spills and burns you!"
After putting the big wooden bowl at his feet, the stone quickly grabbed Little Nicole's small hands and carefully pulled the little wooden bowl to Little Nicole's chest.
"My brother has already eaten a big bowl, yourself!"
"No way! Brother, don't lie to Xiao Ni'er. If you don't eat it, then Xiao Ni'er won't eat it.
In order to show her determination, Little Nicole put the small wooden bowl directly on the ground.
Seeing this, Shitou smiled bitterly, picked up the small wooden bowl, and carefully bit the piece of fish that was bitten by Little Nier.
"My brother has eaten it. It's your turn."
"Cluck!"
Little Nicole took the small wooden bowl handed over by the stone and took a small bite on the fish, and then handed it to the front of the stone.
"Little Nicole has eaten. It's time for her brother."
The fish pieces of Xiao Mu Wanli are actually not big, but when you take a bite of Xiao Nier and the stone and I eat it cleanly, Xiao Mu Wanli's soup is so cold that I can't drink it.
Re-a bowl of hot soup for Little Nicole. After watching her drink it, the stone rinsed the two wooden bowls with cold water, and then climbed back to ** with Little Nicole.
I just had hot soup, and Stone and Little Nicole are not sleepy at all now.
"Brother, little girl wants to hear the story."
"Which story do you want to hear?"
"Little Nicole wants to listen to the story of the fairy and the scholar."
The story of the fairy and the scholar mentioned by Xiao Nier is a sad legend that a fairy falls in love with a scholar often told by the adults in the village below.
A seven- or eight-year-old girl doesn't know anything about love. She loves to listen to that story, all because in that story, the fairy always gives a lot of help to scholars living in a ruined temple.
In Little Nicole's little head, she always fantasizes that she will become that fairy and then bring a lot of delicious and fun things to her brother.
"It is said that a long time ago, the colorful cloud fairy who lived in the sky came to the mortal world because she was tired of the life in the sky. Maybe it was God's doomed fate. As soon as she came to the world, she met the scholar Liu Yuanzong. Although Liu Yuanzong came from a poor background, he was full of talent. Caiyun Fairy was attracted by Liu Yuanzong's talent. Regardless of Xianfan's difference, she accompanied him as a concubine in the broken temple where Liu Yuanzong lived. ......”
Because in the legend, Liu Yuanzong always relies on the colorful cloud fairy to make a living by magic, Stone actually doesn't like this legend.
However, because Xiao Nier likes to listen, he still told this story to Xiao Nier again, which he doesn't know how many times he has told.
"Brother, are there really immortals in the sky?"
"Maybe there is!"
When the sky outside began to darken, the stone climbed down from **, raised the fire, and heated the soup in the black pot.
After dinner, Stone and Little Nicole climbed back to **.
That night, Stone fell asleep quickly because his stomach was not as hungry as last night.
The next day, it was still snowing.
Because the half-foot-long crucian carp will be eaten for the Spring Festival tomorrow, only one small crucian carp was cooked in the stone.
Although the fish meat is less than the day before, Little Nicole still asked the stone to eat the fish in the small wooden bowl with her.
After dinner, Stone and Little Nicole did not climb back like yesterday.
On the day before and on the day of the New Year, every household will burn incense.
In the village below, those villagers should burn incense to the ancestral tablet, to the god of grain, to the god of water, to the prince of the stove, to the god of wealth,...
Every family, because the gods in awe are different, the incense to be burned is also different.
In addition to his uncle, Stone did not know that he was going to burn incense for the immortal, so after lighting the grass incense in a well-precement incense burner, he just put his uncle's card on the side and knelt down.
"I've said goodbye to my uncle. We can go to **."
Just as the stone was about to walk to the bed, Little Nicole suddenly reached out and pulled the stone.
"What's the matter?"
"Brother, let's worship while there is incense now!"
"Worship?"
Stone looked at Xiao Nier strangely. He couldn't figure out why Xiao Nier suddenly wanted to worship him.
"Grandma Luo told Xiao Nier that if Xiao Nier wants to be with her brother forever, she has to pay homage to her brother."
Hearing what Little Nier said, Stone couldn't help laughing.
"Grandma Luo is teasing you! Why do you take it seriously?"
"It's not! Not only did Grandma Luo say that, but also Grandma Liu and the fourth aunt said so.
Looking at the stubborn little girl, Stone had no choice but to accompany her to fool around.
Four months have passed since the recent marriage in the village below, and Little Nicole's memory of the bride and groom's worship has also been blurred.
In Xiao Nier's opinion, she and her brother knelt down to the incense burner three times and worshipped each other three times. Even if they finished the worship, they would never be separated in the future.
