Peaceful journey

An Ning was awakened by the chirping birdsong, the light-colored curtains were not very good at shading the light, and the room was already bright.There are all kinds of birds chirping outside the window, chirping endlessly, just like being in the jungle.

Soon Qiutong was also woken up, and the two got up and got out of bed, and washed up separately.

The curtains were drawn, and the window was full of greenery. The window should be facing the back of the house. An Ning found that there seemed to be a well-arranged garden behind the house. She saw various trees and flowers, and saw the winding stone path. I also saw an ancient pavilion and a gardening stone mountain beside the road.

A pair of hands slid into her waist from behind, hugging her loosely, Qiu Tong's voice was a little sleepy and lazy: "Isn't it beautiful?"

"En." An Ning replied softly, stretched out a hand out of the window, and touched the tiny white flowers growing on the vines that climbed to the window.Those white flowers bloomed finely and densely, and each flower was no bigger than a grain of rice, but it exuded an unknown faint fragrance, which was very pleasant to smell.

This is a small villa located in the forest. The building is surrounded by green trees, the air is fresh, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and it is peaceful and peaceful.An Ning likes this place very much, it seems that after staying for a long time, the mood will be calm and comfortable, and the soul will be cleansed.

"I'll take you out to play later." Qiu Tong rested her chin on An Ning's shoulder, and gently rubbed her side face, "There is a shrine on the mountain behind, which is not bad."

Breakfast is eaten at home, and all kinds of ingredients are prepared in the kitchen, everything that one expects to find, it seems that they have been prepared for their arrival.Even if you come to an island country, the breakfast you eat is still the same as in China, without any change.An Ning could make some Japanese desserts, but Qiu Tong stopped her and dragged her out.

The shrine on the back mountain that Qiutong mentioned was on a low mountain behind the forest, and it would take a long time to walk, so the two of them drove there.A red Ferrari was parked in the garage in the front yard of the villa. An Ning couldn't recognize the license plate, but she could tell that the car was still as flamboyant and cool.

Standing in front of a building that resembled an archway, An Ning looked up at the writing on the stone tablet next to him.The words Mingshan Shrine are engraved on the surface of the tablet, which are pure Chinese characters.This shrine is very small, because there are not many tourists in it, An Ning only saw a few sporadic people pass her and go in, and it seems that most of them are local residents.

Qiu Tong went to find a place to park, and when she came back, she saw An Ning looking up at the stele with her small head up, but she didn't notice it when she walked behind her.

"This is called a torii." Qiutong said, and An Ning turned to look at her when she heard the sound, "The torii represents the entrance to the realm of the gods. People in island countries believe that shrines are places where gods live."

An Ning's eyes were clear, she looked at the endless road inside the torii gate, then turned around, took out her mobile phone and prepared to type.

Qiu Tong was a little confused at first, but when she turned on her phone and switched to the memo, she realized that she had something to say.She raised her hand to hold An Ning's hand, drew the little girl's attention, and said with a light smile, "An An, I think you can try to use sign language with me."

An Ning looked puzzled, and the next moment her eyes widened.After Qiu Tong pondered for a few seconds, she raised her two fair and slender hands and slowly made several gestures.She said in sign language: I have learned sign language, and now I can understand An An's words.

The pupils in the eyes trembled, and the eye sockets instantly turned red.Water color appeared in the fundus of the eyes, which seemed to be full of water.The soft fingertips wiped the ends of her eyes, the woman frowned slightly, and her red lips parted slightly.

"Baby, my sister learned this to surprise you, not to make you cry."

The little girl in a dark blue cotton dress sniffed, opened her thin arms and hugged Qiutong's waist, buried her face in her soft chest, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Qiu Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and had the illusion of being taken advantage of.She has a good figure, her curves are extremely perfect, she always wears a size C, and today she is wearing clothes of the same color as An Ning. The dark blue long windbreaker is open without buttons, and the inside is a beige lining with a very thin fabric. When An Ning buried her, she could feel the warmth of her face.

"Okay, let's go in, the scenery inside is very nice." Qiu Tong rubbed the top of the little girl's hair, and walked in holding her soft little hand.

This shrine is not big, or rather small.There are not many buildings inside, only one main hall.Qiutong still seems to know this place very well, and every time he goes to a place, he will explain it to An Ning, and An Ning listens very carefully.Although the shrine is small, it has all the internal organs. The two visited the main hall and went shopping elsewhere.

An Ning saw some people visiting the temple, their attitudes were very pious.This place is really not that big, after she and Qiutong looked around, they sat down at a stone table to rest.She looked at those pious people bowing their eyebrows and lowering their eyes to worship their gods, with some doubts in their eyes.She had doubts before entering the shrine.

Sister, do you believe that there are gods in the world?

Qiu Tong looked at the gestures she made, smiled slightly, and said, "I don't believe it."

She propped her face sideways with one hand, and looked at those people from a distance, with a faint smile on her lips, but a slight frivolity in her brows.She only took An Ning to visit, but did not go to worship or pray for blessings, because she did not believe in them.But she doesn't talk about other people's beliefs at will. After entering the shrine, her words and deeds have restrained a lot, and she lowered her voice when talking with An Ning.

"Does An An believe that there are gods in the sky?" She looked at An Ning.

An Ning tilted her head and thought about it, then slowed down and compared to sign language: I didn't believe it at first, but later I believed it a little bit.

"Huh?" Qiutong raised her eyebrows, curiosity appeared in her eyes, "Why do you say that?"

The slender and thick eyelashes were raised, like the wings of a butterfly.The movements of her fingers became even slower, and it seemed that the words she said were a bit difficult to express.

If there is no god, how can I meet my sister.

I feel that my sister is a gift from God in the sky.

After she finished speaking the words that had been in her heart for a long time, she shyly moved her eyes away, and unconsciously looked at the distant mountains.

The hand resting on the stone table was slightly cold, but was held by a pair of warm hands.An Ning's face was slightly pink, she was embarrassed to look at Qiu Tong, and she didn't see the extremely soft expression on the woman's face, those deep, twinkling peach blossom eyes fixedly stared at her, as if trying to draw her shadow Go deep into the soul.

"Then I also believe in God." The corners of her lips curled up gently, and she said lightly, "I hope the God in the sky can see how much I love An'an, so that we can meet again in the next life."

She didn't believe in past and present lives, nor did she believe in gods and Buddhas all over the sky.But for her, she is willing to be devout, to pray for an afterlife with her.

There was a surge of heat in his chest, An Ning thought silently, don't cry anymore today, she is obviously very happy, but she just couldn't help the tears welling up in her eyes.

She tried not to shed tears, turned sideways with red eyes, Qiutong opened her arms tacitly, and she snuggled into that soft embrace.

After sitting quietly for a while, each of them calmed down, Qiutong whispered in her ear: "Sister will take you to a place."

An Ning was led by her to get up, walked around the road in the shrine, passed through the building, and walked to a small road behind the shrine.Not long after walking along the path, the scenery at the end of the road ahead has been revealed.

It was a small cliff with a small platform on it, and on that platform stood a golden tree.The tree was tall and straight, with only one thick trunk, with thin and dense branches growing outward, and the branches were densely packed with golden leaves.

There was a slight wind blowing, and the leaves rattled against the wind, and a few pieces fell to the ground from time to time.The ground under the tree is covered with golden yellow.

This is a huge ginkgo tree.

A leaf fluttered with the wind, and it floated towards the slowly approaching person, skipping An Ning's side, An Ning reached out and grabbed it.

Golden yellow, fan-shaped leaves, one side is covered with longitudinal leaf patterns, and the other side is smooth.The long leaf stems are also golden.

The thin white fingertips pinched it and gently rotated it.

"This tree has a history of a hundred years." Qiutong said, and also caught a flying leaf, "When I was young, about five years old, my mother was sent here to recuperate because of depression. I followed her for a few months. Then she left, and I seldom came here."

An Ning turned her face away and looked at her silently, with concern in her eyes.She still remembers Qiutong's depressed appearance during that time.Qiutong cares about her mother very much, she can see it.

Qiutong smiled in relief, pinched her little face: "Don't worry, I've already walked out."

"I used to be alone, but now I have An An."

So there is no need to be immersed in the past, she needs to look forward and work hard for their future.

Under the golden ginkgo tree, the two leaned together, even if it was just the wind blowing, they felt that the time was good and it was not wasted.

At noon, they had lunch at a family's home at the foot of the mountain called Mingshan. Qiutong gave some money, and the two had authentic Japanese cuisine, which had a special flavor.

In the afternoon, they went shopping in a small market nearby. When the sky was getting late and they were attracted to each other, they returned home.

Qiu Tong is cooking dinner in the kitchen, while An Ning is looking around at the decorations in the house.Lu Nan works in interior design, which influenced her to pay some attention to the decoration of houses. There are very few Japanese-style houses in China, and she has basically never seen the real ones. This time it can be said to be a feast for the eyes.

An Ning thought of the low and soft beds they slept on last night, very authentic tatami mats.She huddled in front of a closet again and looked at a handicraft on it, which looked like a ghost she had seen in island country anime.

"An'an—" Qiutong shouted.

An Ning came back to her senses, and ran to the semi-open kitchen with bare feet.The floor in the house is not cold, she likes the feeling of stepping on it with bare feet, it feels very comfortable.

After serving the food to the dining table together, Qiu Tong suddenly had a mischievous smile on his face.

"Did An'an go to the back yard?" she asked.

An Ning shook her head, and she was pulled out the door after eating in the morning, and she hadn't gone out to see it yet.

Qiutong said mysteriously: "There is a hot spring in the yard."

The little girl opened her eyes wide in surprise, a little unbelievable.

"Do you want to soak?" Qiu Tong's tone was very seductive.

"Yeah, yum!" An Ning Chick Peck Mi nodded, she hadn't soaked in a hot spring yet!

The author has something to say:

An Ning's diary: If my misfortune is the price for her, then I will never complain again.

Qiu Tong: I don't have any faith at all, but I only believe in Lu Anning from now on.To me, she is a bright moon on that day.
