Rebirth: I Like You

Chapter 45 Manpukuji Temple

An Shuangling and the others were going home tonight, so after getting up early in the morning and having breakfast, my aunt suggested that everyone go to Wanfu Temple to worship the gods.

After all, An Shuangling had an accident a few months ago and became blind. Now she has finally undergone a successful corneal transplant surgery, so they think it would be a good idea to go and worship her.

An's mother had no objection to this suggestion. She also wanted to go to Wanfu Temple to make a wish for An Shuangling and ask the Bodhisattva to bless An Shuangling with good luck.

We all took a car to Wanpukuji Temple. We didn’t expect there would be so many people today. We saw a long queue forming to enter Wanpukuji Temple.

"I didn't expect there would be so many people here so early. If I had known, I would have come earlier." My second aunt said calmly.

"It doesn't matter. We'll be there in ten minutes at most. We're still early."

"Come, Shuangling, come in front of me."

"It's okay, second aunt. I'll be fine here." An Shuangling said with a sweet smile.

Second aunt came over without saying a word and pulled An Shuangling to line up in front of her.

An Shuangling couldn't help but look back. It turned out that someone was staring at her from behind. Her second aunt pulled her over. This time, everyone in front and behind were her own people. They surrounded An Shuangling and protected her.

Thinking of her second aunt's behavior of protecting her just now, her heart felt warm. Her second aunt usually spoke very loudly, and her voice was even louder when she was angry. To be honest, An Shuangling was a little afraid of her, but she really loved An Shuangling.

Sure enough, it was their turn in less than ten minutes. When they entered the temple, they saw crowds of people.

There were people selling things for worship under the big tree in front, so they also bought some for the worship later.

Then everyone entered a room where the Eighteen Arhats were placed with a giant Buddha in the middle. Everyone burned incense and worshiped devoutly.

When they were about to walk out and go somewhere else, an old man stopped them and said, "Would you like to draw a fortune stick? It's very effective."

"Then have a smoke, Shuangling, you smoke it." Mother An said to An Shuangling.

"Ok."

An Shuangling walked up obediently, picked up the bamboo tube and shook it, and a stick fell out of the tube.

An Shuangling took a look and it was an excellent fortune.

"Mom, I drew a very good lot, look."

"Let me see, it's really a very good fortune, great, bad luck is going away and good luck is coming."

"Let me see it, it's good, it's a very good sign."

"Let's go. There's an interpreter over there. Let's ask him to help interpret the divination and see what he says."

"Okay, let's go."

A group of people walked towards the fortune teller in a mighty manner.

"Hello, sir! Is this where the fortune is interpreted?"

"Yes, you want to interpret the lot, right?"

"Yes, I drew a very good fortune. Can you help me see what this means?"

"Okay, hand it over and let me see it."

An Shuangling quickly handed over the best fortune in her hand.

The old man looked at it and smiled.

"Your fortune is very good. In the future, you will make progress in your studies and win prizes in all competitions. You will recover your health and get along well with your classmates. You will also be pursued by a very high-quality person of the opposite sex. He is your true love. You can love each other and grow old together. You must seize the opportunity and don't miss it."

"Thank you, old man. How about my career luck?"

"Your future career will be prosperous, and you will enjoy endless wealth and glory. Your family will become more prosperous because of you."

"Thank you!"

"Not bad, not bad, cousin, your luck is unmatched. I want to draw one and try my luck." The third cousin said with a smile.

"You can also go and draw a lot to see what it is."

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

The third cousin shook the stick and a lot fell to the ground. He picked it up and saw that it was the winning lot.

He quickly took it to the fortune teller, who took a look and said with a smile, "Your lot is a winner, and your luck is average. There's nothing wrong with being ordinary."

After walking out, they walked all the way inside, and the main hall appeared before their eyes.

I saw that the incense burner was bigger and there were a lot of incense sticks in it.

An Shuangling and the others had no choice but to offer sacrifices, and only after they had finished worshipping in all the temples did they prepare to go home.

More than one person drew the best fortune today, so everyone was very happy.

When we arrived at the Fengyu Pavilion, we saw people selling jade articles, amulets and other items.

Mother An bought amulets for An Shuangling and An Junjie, and also picked out some other things before driving away.

After returning to her grandparents' house and having lunch, An Shuangling decided to practice driving some more, as she currently lacked practical experience in driving an electric car.

This time, the third cousin volunteered to accompany An Shuangling to practice riding an electric bike.

The second aunt was worried about the third cousin accompanying An Shuangling on a bike ride, and repeatedly told him to protect his cousin and not let her get hurt.

"Mom, don't worry. My cycling skills are perfect. I can definitely protect my cousin. I can also teach her some tricks, such as drifting."

"Don't teach me nonsense. If she gets hurt, I will treat you to fried pork with bamboo shoots.

"No, I'm already so old and you still want to beat me with a bamboo stick. How embarrassing! Can't you be a little gentler? Learn from my aunt and be more gentle."

"If I were gentle, you would poke a hole in the sky."

"That's an exaggeration. Let's go."

"Ride slower."

"understood."

An Shuangling was driving in front, and the third cousin caught up with her and asked, "Shuangling, where are we going?"

"Why don't we go to Pingzhen Street? It's more lively there, and we can go shopping there later. What do you think?"

"Sure, the journey isn't too far, and there aren't many cars on the road. It'll be safer for you to practice driving. Let's go, you drive in front, and I'll be behind you."

"Okay, let's go to Pingzhen Street."

Riding a bike on the tree-lined road, with the breeze blowing, birds singing and flowers blooming, An Shuangling hummed happily.

Her long hair fluttered in the wind and her eyes were curved, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.

This time they drove slowly and arrived at their destination smoothly.

Pingzhen Street was already crowded at this time, and they turned around a lot before finally finding a place to park.

The two of them strolled around here and there, visiting the entire Pingzhen Street. Whenever they saw something suitable, they would buy it and give it as gifts to their families.

After a while, the two of them couldn't hold the things anymore, so they put them in the car and continued shopping.

Just as she walked to a fruit stall, a plate flew down from the upstairs and landed in front of An Shuangling. It was a close call, it almost hit An Shuangling, luckily it was a false alarm.

He touched the amulet on his body. Perhaps it was the amulet's blessing, An Shuangling didn't take it seriously and continued shopping. It was almost time for dinner before he and his cousin prepared to go back.

With a car full of goods, the two men hurried home excitedly.
