Chapter 372: Chapter 283 White Horse

In the crowd, Gou Dan was watching Ye Luoqi, the eldest among the five sisters, with a torch in her hand. His gaze was passionate but he didn’t step forward to speak. As he got older, he became a bit shy.

Along with his brothers, they specifically waited at the entrance of the Ye family’s house, the boys choosing to act as escorts for the girls.

Ye Luoqi’s eyes didn’t wander to the other boys; she was already over ten years old and understood the shyness between boys and girls, focusing on protecting her younger sisters.

A group set off, holding torches and walking together, not just them in the dark night.

At the very start of the New Year, almost the entire village was mobilized, those who didn’t choose midnight would go to the temple at dawn.

Their village temple housed The Bodhisattva Guanyin and other Buddha statues, the focus being the temple’s name, White Horse King Temple.

The temple’s Bodhisattva was called the Great King, but why was it called the White Horse King Temple?

Ye Shiqi had heard the legend that the temple was called the White Horse King Temple because people had truly seen the Great King in the temple, as well as the temple’s white horse.

In the legend, the temple’s Great King competed in magic with the Great King from the temple of a neighboring town, betting the white horse and losing it, after which people saw the temple’s white horse in the neighboring town.

Later, the Great King won back the white horse, whether it was really as magical as the legend said, the Great King would protect the people.

Perhaps there really were deities, or perhaps it was a fiction made up by the people to comfort themselves. Although Ye Shiqi didn’t quite believe it, her soul had traveled through time, and some things still existed.

When Ye Shiqi was younger, she was carried on someone’s back; now, she no longer needed to be carried, walking along the track with her elder sisters and those going to the temple.

In the dark night, the track was illuminated by batches of people carrying torches, lighting up this patch of sky.

By the side of the track was a small ditch, and as it hadn’t rained, walking was easy even in embroidered shoes.

After walking for a while, they came to a mountain side, and their group wasn’t idle as they walked.

They chatted, with the excited older children, who didn’t seem tired even at midnight.

Ye Shiqi listened to the chattering, all about how they were going to play the next day.

Some said they would participate in the lion dance and be busy with the adults for many days, unable to play with their friends.

The other kids without tasks planned to join them for play.

Ye Shiqi, under the occasional care of her elder sisters, was asked if she was tired.

Whether someone should carry her, but Ye Shiqi chose to walk on her own.

Ye Shiqi knew she was dressed heavily and weighed quite a bit; it might be hard for her sisters to carry her, and walking might be unstable on the track, she certainly didn’t want to fall into the ditch in the cold weather.

Actually, she could have chosen not to go, but being in ancient times, there wasn’t much excitement, and it was only on such days that people really enjoyed themselves.

Since arriving in this body, Ye Shiqi felt her spirit had grown younger, loving the excitement!

After passing the edge of the mountain, they walked another stretch of track and ascended a hillside before finally reaching their destination.

There was a flat area at mid-hill, which had significant space, Zhouyu with a main hall, side halls, a small plot of land, and a well.

When they reached the temple square, many villagers were already there, and some had entered the main and side halls of the temple.

Ye Shiqi’s vision blurred, and in her mind, a vision appeared, a white horse with golden light flashing over its body, hovering in the night sky above the front square of Zhouyu.

She blinked her eyes, wondering if she was really seeing a hallucination.

Was she too tired and entering a dream?

Ye Shiqi’s expression was unusual, and as she looked up at the sky, those around her, including her sisters, didn’t notice her.

In the center of the square, in front of the earth god, adults continuously set off firecrackers.

Each family, representing themselves, usually reluctant to spend money, bought firecrackers to set off during the festival.

Younger boys and girls chose to cover their ears.

Ye Shiqi’s ears were also covered, taken care of by her eldest sister.

The youngest sister kept looking up at the sky; Ye Luoqi just thought her little sister was watching the firecrackers that were being lit.

Ye Shiqi watched the sky for a long time until her neck grew tired, and the white horse in front of her didn’t disappear, which made her firmly believe that she had really seen a white horse.

"Elder sister, there is a white horse!"

Ye Shiqi chose to share this with her sisters, pointing to the sky as she spoke. Her elder sister and the other sisters looked up at the sky, where under the glow of firecrackers and torches, that part of the sky wasn’t dark.
