Grandma Yao carefully examined Qin Luo and said earnestly, "Fortune changes every day. No one can have good luck forever. Master Qin looks kind. You will definitely have a change of fortune."
"Thank you for your kind words, Mother-in-law."
Qin Luo smiled and nodded.
Hua Ying looked at the Goddess, intending to ask her why she was there, but remembering the awkwardness of the Azure Emperor earlier, she just found it amusing. "Grandma, I want to buy two red ropes."
"good."
Grandma Yao came to the altar, picked up a plate containing many red ropes, and said, "Girl, you can choose."
Hua Ying picked out two red ropes. "Grandma, here's thirty coins. If you have any extra, you can buy dried fish."
"Okay, okay."
Grandma Yao nodded with a smile.
Hua Ying looked at Xuan Qing and said, "Stretch out your hand."
Xuanqing was somewhat at a loss. He reached out his hand, and Huaying tied a red rope around his wrist.
"Thank you, fairy sister."
Xuanqing snapped out of his daze and couldn't stop smiling.
"Little Butterfly, stretch out your hand. This red string is for you. I hope the Goddess will bless you."
"Thank you, Sister Zi."
Xiaodie was very touched. She thought Huaying had bought the red rope for Qin Luo and Xuan Qing, but she didn't expect it to be for her.
Jiang Nanxi thought the red rope was for Qin Luo, but Hua Ying looked at Qin Luo and snorted, "There are plenty of red ropes at Longhu Temple, so I won't give it to you."
"I'll give you one when we get back to Longhu Temple."
"OK."
Hua Ying smiled broadly.
"These are your dried fish. They smell very good. You can feed the cats the ones you can't finish."
Grandma Yao packed a large bag of dried fish in banana leaves. Qin Luo bowed and said, "Thank you, Grandma. We'll head back now."
This is a place to worship the goddess. Qin Luo didn't want to disturb her. As soon as he stepped out of the main hall, he heard the tabby cat meowing. It rubbed its head against Qin Luo's trouser leg.
Qin Luo tossed it a small dried fish.
The tabby cat quickly ran away with the dried fish in its mouth.
"You should try some too."
"Hehe, just enough to fill a gap between my teeth."
"Hahaha!"
Qin Luo and his group arrived at the front courtyard of the Goddess Temple. There were benches under the ginkgo trees, and the leaves rustled in the breeze. They sat under the trees, eating dried fish and feeding the cats, which surrounded them.
Young couples walked by hand in hand, and when they noticed their stares, they quickly let go of each other's hands.
Qin Luo asked with a smile, "Do you guys eat dried anchovies?"
"Thanks."
They shook their heads.
The tabby cat returned to the yard, grabbed Qin Luo's trouser leg to stand up, and meowed.
Qin Luo ruffled the tabby cat's head and then gave it a small dried fish. "Meow~"
...
Leave the Temple of the Goddess.
On their way back, Qin Luo and his friends encountered Mao Mao and a group of children playing by the river.
Mao Mao waved to them.
A little girl put her hands to her mouth, as if holding a megaphone, and exclaimed, "Hey big brother, come play!"
Xuanqing looked at Qin Luo and Hua Ying.
"Go have fun, but remember to be careful."
Qin Luo patted Xuan Qing's head, not because he was afraid that Xuan Qing was in danger, but to remind him to take good care of the other children.
Xuanqing handed the wooden stake he was carrying to Xiaodie, "Sister Xiaodie, could you please help me carry it back?"
"no problem."
Xiaodie nodded with a smile.
"Give the rest of the dried fish to them."
"Okay, big brother!"
Xuanqing ran over with the dried fish and was quickly surrounded by everyone, with children's laughter rising and falling.
Qin Luo looked at them and recalled his childhood life in the village. Back then, he had many playmates around him, played games together, and shared the snow lotus he bought.
"I really hope they can be this happy forever."
Everyone knows that's impossible.
Qin Luo and Hua Ying returned to the bamboo house to rest.
Behind the bamboo house was a large bamboo forest, and the courtyard was quite shady. Qin Luo leaned against a bamboo chair to rest, Hua Ying was also resting with her eyes closed, and Xiao Die was gently fanning herself with a palm leaf fan.
Jiang Nanxi was in the kitchen. She crushed the dragon blood stone and put it into her sister's medicine, simmering it slowly over a low flame. Then she picked up a winnowing basket to sift mung beans. The weather was hot, and she was preparing to make mung bean soup for Qin Luo and the others.
Around noon, Xuanqing returned to the courtyard carrying a bamboo basket filled with all sorts of mushrooms. "Big brother, these were given to me by Mao Mao's father."
Qin Luo opened his eyes, looked at the mushrooms Xuan Qing was carrying, and patted him on the shoulder, "These are termite mushrooms, and these are pine mushrooms. These mushrooms are not cheap."
Good mushrooms are found deep in the mountains, and it takes a long time to find them, with the risk of danger at any time. Jiang Nanxi came into the courtyard and said with a sweet smile, "These mushrooms are really good, Master Qin. I'll stir-fry some mushrooms for you later."
"When in Rome, do as the host says. You can make the arrangements."
Qin Luo is rather casual.
Smoke rose from the kitchen. Xuanqing took a shuttlecock out of his pocket. "Sister Xiaodie, this was given to me by a little girl. I don't like playing shuttlecock, so I'm giving it to you."
"Thanks."
Xiaodie happily accepted the shuttlecock. She tried kicking it a few times, and the shuttlecock flew high and steadily.
...
noon.
They drank mung bean soup in the bamboo house.
Jiang Nanxi packed the prepared medicine into a food box and said respectfully, "Master Qin, my sister doesn't have time to come back. I'll go and bring her food first. You can eat first."
"Go."
Qin Luo nodded with a smile.
"These mushrooms smell so good, they smell like meat."
"This mung bean soup is also very sweet."
Xuanqing ate with relish and said with a smile, "I've made many friends by following my elder brother."
Qin Luo drank a bowl of mung bean soup. She looked at Hua Ying and said softly, "This mung bean soup is good."
Upon hearing this, Hua Ying snapped out of her daze. Her heart had been beating very fast, a feeling she had never experienced before. Hearing Qin Luo say that the mung bean soup was good, she took a sip and smiled slightly, "It's very smooth and sweet, indeed quite good."
...
Jiang Nanxi arrived at the summit of Wushan Mountain.
Jiang Li, dressed in a bright red dance dress with flowing sleeves, said softly to Jiang Nanxi, "Sister, it's time to take your medicine!"
Jiang Nanxi brought the medicine to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li frowned. "Nanxi, Master Qin and the others have helped us too much. We can't repay them."
“Sister, Master Qin and the others are very kind. They truly treat us as friends. I will always remember their kindness.” Jiang Nanxi continued, “Sister, you should take your medicine first. Once you’re better, we’ll go to offer incense and pray for Master Qin and the others every day to repay them slowly.”
Jiang Li said softly, "Do you really want to become a priestess?"
Jiang Nanxi nodded solemnly, "Of course!"
Jiang Li looked into her sister's eyes and said in a deep voice, "If Heaven cannot tolerate them, do you still want to be a witch?"
Jiang Nanxi was at a loss for words.
