Platinum Key of Rebirth
Chapter 21
Gao Yongxia can be said to be an atheist, but his younger sister is a Catholic, she must go to church every week, and he never accompany her. This is the insistence of her younger sister Gao Yongliang.
Accompanying Fei Yuexin to reward God this time made Fei Lan feel uncomfortable.The Chinese believe that if you make a wish in front of the Buddha, and if it comes true, you must come back to thank the god, especially if you have made a promise like "If it comes true, I will..." before.Compared with the big Buddhist countries, because there have been wars and religious persecution in the country before, most people, especially young people, don't believe in ghosts and gods, so Fei Lan was surprised that Fei Yuexin would So "superstitious".
Sitting in the car, Fei Lan watched the scenery outside the window receding quickly, then turned to look at Fei Yuexin who was dressed in a very simple and dignified manner, and asked curiously: "I didn't know you were so devout. In the past days, did you go to Have you ever been to a temple?"
Fei Yuexin rested on the comfortable car seat, and when he heard his brother's question, he turned to look at him: "I didn't believe it at first, but now I do, what about you?"
Fei Lan froze for a moment, subconsciously avoided Fei Yuexin's sight, and looked out of the window again: "Me too." He whispered.
Whether there are gods or ghosts in this world, he has been shaken now, or he is already convinced, because Fei Lan himself is a good proof.
After saying this, the atmosphere in the car was a bit awkward. Fei Yuexin was quite disgusted with this awkward atmosphere, so she started another topic: "Lei Xiu seems to have a good impression of you."
Fei Lan felt that this was not a good topic, but it seemed much safer than the previous topic, so he turned around and replied uncertainly: "Really?"
Fei Yuexin nodded happily: "He said before that he wanted a rose room where he could read books and play the piano. I thought he was a picky and willful young master like you. I didn't expect... I didn't mean to belittle my dear brother, he It does look like a well-behaved artist."
Fei Lan was a little unhappy: "How do you see that he is noble? You haven't forgotten that we only slept for a few hours before yesterday and built a rose house for him, right?"
Fei Yuexin shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Did you hear him play the piano? It was the first time I heard such a moving piano sound. He looked... like a melancholy nobleman in the Middle Ages. He stayed in the Italian?"
"You're a little nympho, old lady," Fei Lan snorted coldly, and sneered at Fei Yuexin's evaluation, "I heard him play the piano, and he played it wrong."
Fei Yuexin didn't believe it at all, she said disdainfully: "You are slandering, I know that not only can you not play the piano, but you only got five points in the music written test in high school, it is a miracle that you can pass the music. "
Just as Fei Lan was about to retort, his sister quickly said, "Of course, I know you are learning the violin now, but... hum, you are just learning, and you will not be able to understand the skills of the world's master pianists."
Fei Lan made a surrendered explanation that gave up the explanation: "Okay, I'd better play the violin."
"About the family teacher..." Fei Yuexin became more and more excited when he talked about cultivating his younger brother's achievements in music, "I have already contacted a teacher, and I heard that he is still the violin tutor of Ting's group, but according to the schedule, He won't be here until next Friday."
Fei Lan was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect her sister to really take this matter to heart: "What?"
Fei Yuexin blinked apologetically: "There is only one year left, Xiaolan, I hope you can do what you like during this time."
Just as Fei Lan was about to say something, their car had already stopped on a mountain road.
Fei Yuexin stepped off their extended Lincoln lightly, and said happily: "It's time to walk now. In terms of physical strength, I will not lose to you."
Fei Lan opened the car door depressedly, the cold air outside made him shiver, and then he sat back in the car, no matter what Fei Yuexin said, he resolutely refused to open the car door.
"There is a road over there, we can drive up." Fei Lan pointed to the spacious mountain road, "I don't like exercising in winter."
"This is not exercise," Fei Yuexin said with a cold face in the cold wind, "Get out of the car now, immediately, immediately!"
Like a snake spit out a letter to test the composition of the air, Fei Lan carefully rolled down the car window, trying to imagine whether it is reasonable to do mountain climbing in this kind of weather—unexpectedly, the car window was rolled down a little, Fei Yuexin He stretched out his hand, stretched his slender arms in, and pulled the car door open from the inside.There was no trace of hesitation in the whole movement, as fast as an agent in some novels.
"You can't do this," Fei Lan yelled, this person is too disrespectful of human rights!
"Of course I can," Fei Yuexin grabbed Fei Lan's protesting wrist, and dragged the man who was taller than himself out of the car, "Come on, when you know how to reward God, you should be more in awe and less nonsense .”
So on the cold windy road, the driver of their family drove the car and followed the Fei family siblings uphill slowly.
Fei Lan was a little surprised. His sister's physical strength was so good that he was ashamed. The strenuous steep slope was not much more difficult for her than the flat ground, and she was not at all like the kind of spoiled young lady.
Fei Lan was a little embarrassed, so he started talking: "Why do we have to walk, we can go by car, you see!" He pointed to several cars that passed by them, "They all take cars, they don't like us walk."
Fei Yuexin didn't even look at those cars: "Only by doing your best can you show your piety. I thank the Buddha, and of course I have to show my sincerity."
"Then why did you pull me in!" Fei Lan couldn't help it. He should hibernate in this kind of weather. Although he had grown up in this kind of place where the winter was very cold and the summer was very hot for more than ten years, he was still in his bones. Gao Yongxia spent time in Italy, which is like spring all the year round!
After finally climbing to the top of the mountain, an unsurprising temple appeared in front of Fei Lan.Today is the weekend, so there are still many people in the temple, and the fragrance is lingering. The smell of sandalwood floats far away with the burning candles.
"Come here," Fei Yuexin pulled him to the side to buy votive incense, "I'm telling you, I'll be with me later, and I won't leave this door until the incense burns, and then we'll have vegetarian lunch here."
"Veget...vegetarian?" Fei Lan was a little hard to understand, "Did you mean salad?"
"No," Fei Yuexin quickly vetoed Fei Lan's imagination, "Isn't it the kind of Western food you think of? Even if you haven't studied hard for more than ten years, and you don't even have the slightest common sense, but Su Zhai is a vegetarian dish. There should be no problem, right?" Facing his younger brother's expression of continued confusion and trying to understand, Fei Yuexin finally gave up, "Our family should hire a Chinese chef, I heard that you looked very bad at Lei's party. elegant……"
"Don't mention that matter again," Fei Lan cut off Fei Yuexin's words, "Aren't you going to buy incense..."
Just as Fei Lan turned his head to look at the "official" shop of the temple, the monk selling incense waved to Fei Lan: "Hi, I'll give you a [-]% discount."
"Why are you here?" Fei Lan suddenly had a feeling of "Where do we never meet again in life?" The tall man, wearing a gray cloth monk robe, was selling incense candles to customers.This person is none other than Fei Lan's classmate Yan Lei.
"Working," Yan Lei smiled, "What kind of incense do you want?"
"This kind," Fei Yuexin pointed to the one on the shelf, "two boxes."
Yan Lei turned around and took the incense down: "This kind of incense burns very slowly."
Fei Yuexin took the incense, and Fei Lan said seriously while paying the money: "It's okay, we're here to eat vegetarian food anyway."
Yan Lei nodded with full respect: "The vegetarian food here is a must."
"Is it delicious?" Fei Lan was full of expectations.
Yan Lei coughed lightly: "Not only is it expensive, but it's also unpalatable."
"...Then I have to be mentally prepared," Fei Lan took a deep breath and looked at Fei Yuexin who was next to him. After the other party heard it, he didn't mean to change his mind at all, but just shrugged his shoulders casually and did it. A gesture that I'll be waiting for you over there.
Seeing that Fei Lan's sister was gone, and Yan Lei happened to have no business here, he asked Fei Lan, "Why are you here? I didn't know you would pay homage to Buddha so devoutly."
Fei Lan lifted her chin: "Let me tell you, I walked up from the mountain with my sister."
Yan Lei tried his best not to look so stupid, and asked cautiously after a while: "So...?"
Fei Lan said helplessly, "My sister said she wanted to pay the gods, so she dragged me over here."
Yan Lei breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that this was the case, and he finally understood why he met the young master of the Fei family here: "I can't see that your sister really believes in this kind of thing, what kind of wish did she make in front of the Buddha before?" gone?"
Fei Lan shook her head in confusion: "My sister didn't tell me."
Yan Lei took the money from an aunt, passed the incense with a smile, and then turned to look at him: "The wish I want to make should be related to you, otherwise I wouldn't have dragged you to offer incense."
"Is that so...?" Fei Lan was a little confused. She seemed to have said that it was for my relationship before, and she didn't know what kind of wish she made.Thinking of this, Fei Lan turned her head to look at Fei Yuexin, her sister's beautiful face already showed an expression of impatience, she was never a patient person.
"I have to go," Fei Lan said to Yan Lei, who was busy with business, with a feeling of chill, "We'll talk after the meeting."
"Walk slowly," Yan Lei was busy with business, and couldn't care less about greeting Fei Lan, so whoever wants to take this "walk slowly". --
Fei Lan walked to Fei Yuexin's side, who turned his head to look at Yan Lei: "I remember seeing that child somewhere."
"Oh, it's a classmate who came to our house last time," Fei Lan replied.
Fei Yuexin was a little surprised, even happy: "What? Did you bring your friends home? You never brought friends to play at home before. My Xiaolan seems to have grown up and learned to get along with other classmates happily... ..."
Fei Lan coughed lightly, and interrupted her softly: "That...is the one who returned the car with Zhang Yueyan."
Mentioning that incident, Fei Yuexin's happy face suddenly seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and he turned his head: "This child is really not cute."
Fei Lan added in a low voice: "I am friends with him."
Fei Yuexin looked at him with a different look of approval: "Should we be friends with him first and then kill him? Although it's a bit too roundabout, it's still a good way for you." Then he patted him happily Shoulder, "Let's go, I will cooperate well when he comes to play at home in the future."
It seems that the whole world thinks that he is unswervingly committed to Zhang Yueyan, but no one knows that he is no longer the person he was yesterday.
He smiled perfunctorily, but he didn't know where to start to explain. Her sister kept asking what Yan Lei was doing here, so Fei Lan had to draw her attention to the Buddha.
Fei Lan knelt on the futon with Fei Yuexin, imitating Fei Yuexin, holding incense and kowtow devoutly.Although the tall and solemn Buddha statue is smiling kindly, it gives people a feeling of calmness and prestige, and the smell of incense candles gives people a feeling of purity and piety.Fei Lan can somewhat appreciate the hope and comfort that religion brings to believers, as if they really exist, to save suffering.
The monks put the incense in their hands into the small incense burner in front of them, and Fei Yuexin gave them a few envelopes, and they saluted silently and walked away.
"Mom and Dad want you to start accepting things at home next year," Fei Yuexin said with his eyes closed, keeping his hands clasped together, "I said before that there is still one year left, and you can do what you want."
"Hey, why so suddenly...?" Fei Lan looked at Fei Yuexin in surprise.
Fei Yuexin didn't even lift his eyelids: "Do you believe this?"
Fei Lan asked back: "Don't you believe it?"
Fei Yuexin opened her eyes, her eyes were bright and clear, without a trace of confusion or confusion: "I don't believe it."
Fei Lan asked, "Then why are we here?"
Fei Yuexin shrugged helplessly: "Because my parents believed."
"What?"
"When I was two or three years old, er, you were not born at that time," Fei Yuexin struggled to recall the past, "Of course, my parents told me that they met in this temple. On the 'superior'."
"Gao...ren?" Fei Lan couldn't understand the meaning of the word.
So Fei Yuexin explained patiently: "It looks like a very powerful person who can tell fortunes. I don't believe it anyway, but my parents believe it very much, so I asked him to do a fortune-telling. At that time, my mother just checked it out. I'm three months pregnant."
"Calculate what?" Fei Lan asked casually, this feeling was like another person's past, he was neither curious nor disgusted.
"My unborn brother will die in a catastrophe when he becomes an adult." Fei Yuexin said softly, and then looked at Fei Lan, "Now, the rain has passed and the sky is clear, and you are still alive, that's enough Our family is grateful to the gods."
Accompanying Fei Yuexin to reward God this time made Fei Lan feel uncomfortable.The Chinese believe that if you make a wish in front of the Buddha, and if it comes true, you must come back to thank the god, especially if you have made a promise like "If it comes true, I will..." before.Compared with the big Buddhist countries, because there have been wars and religious persecution in the country before, most people, especially young people, don't believe in ghosts and gods, so Fei Lan was surprised that Fei Yuexin would So "superstitious".
