335 Faith, Saw Ni Ma and Qiang Ba Again (1)
Worship?
Hearing Li Hao’s words, Ye Shiyun’s eyes moved again.
Li Hao’s gaze landed on these people.
In the endless crowd, in addition to the tourists, there were some very special figures. They kept bowing in one direction, their expressions solemn and their eyes filled with piety.
These people were not affected by the surrounding tourists at all, nor did they care about what others thought of them. They were completely immersed in their own world.
Their faces were determined and travel-worn. They kept crawling down to worship. Their actions were consistent. Their pious actions told people about the other world deep in their hearts.
Seeing this scene, Li Hao could not help but be moved.
Among these people, there were old people, young boys who had yet to grow taller, young girls, women carrying children, and even old men with walking sticks. They kowtowed piously and knelt down step by step. They repeated it again and again. Some kowtowed every three steps, some kowtowed every seven steps, some were local and some came from other places. The stained apron in front of them was even worn out, showing their piety and the time they knelt.
At that moment, there were really no words to describe the scene in front of him.
This scene touched Li Hao and Ye Shiyun’s hearts.
The piety and tenacity in their hearts deeply shocked them.
At that moment, not far in front of them, a dark-skinned little boy was also worshipping. His hair was a little disheveled, and he looked to be in his teens. He was wearing blue clothes and a black apron, which was also tattered. In his hands were two wooden boards that had obviously been worn to protect his hands during worship.
When Li Hao and Ye Shiyun saw the little boy, their hearts skipped a beat.
The little boy bowed as he walked forward. Soon, he arrived beside Li Hao and Ye Shiyun.
The boy’s eyes were clean, but there was some dirt on his small face and some calluses on his forehead. They looked like they were left behind by different kowtows.
Moreover, this little boy did not seem to have any family or companions. He looked like he was alone…
“Such a young child is actually worshipping. How pitiful.” When Ye Shiyun saw this scene, she could not help but say. She felt pity for the little boy and could not bear to see him like this.
Immediately after, Ye Shiyun shouted gently at the little boy, “Little brother…”
At this moment, the little boy heard Ye Shiyun’s voice. He could not help but look up at her.
“Hello, Sister!” When the little boy saw that it was a beautiful sister, he immediately felt a little shy. His dark face seemed to turn red, but he still smiled and greeted.
His honest smile made Ye Shiyun feel a sense of peace and innocence.
“Little brother, what’s your name?” Ye Shiyun asked the little boy again.
“Sister, my name is Zha Xi.” The boy spoke shyly again.
“Little Zha Xi, why are you worshiping at such a young age? Doesn’t it hurt? Aren’t you tired?” Ye Shiyun said to the little boy again.
The little boy was stunned by Ye Shiyun’s words.
The little boy, Zha Xi, shook his head again, but a sunny smile still appeared on his face as he spoke to Ye Shiyun.
“It won’t hurt if you get used to it.”
However, when Ye Shiyun and Li Hao heard the little boy’s words, they were moved.
It would not hurt if he got used to it…
In other words, the little boy had been in pain for God knew how long and was used to it.
“Little Zha Xi, why are you worshipping here alone? Where are your parents? Don’t you go to school?” At this moment, Ye Shiyun asked another question that concerned her.
When the little boy heard Ye Shiyun’s words, the smile on his face froze and his expression darkened.
“My father is dead, and my mother is sick. I’m going to ask Dharma King for divine water to cure my mother.” The boy spoke slowly again, but his young voice was filled with determination.
Li Hao and Ye Shiyun’s hearts skipped a beat.
What a poor child.
“Then what will happen to your mother if you come here alone?” asked Ye Shiyun again.
“My grandmother is taking care of my mother, but if I can’t get the divine water this time, my mother will probably die… I don’t want my mother to die…”
Although the boy was very young, he spoke like an adult.
Perhaps this was what it meant for children of the poor to take charge early.
“If you’re sick, go find a doctor. You’d better go to the hospital for a checkup…” said Ye Shiyun to the little boy again.
“I’ve seen it many, many times. I’ve spent a lot of money. Even our animals have been all sold. The doctor said that they can’t treat my mom…” said the little boy weakly again. He looked a little sad and depressed.
“Grandma said that as long as I beg for Dharma King’s divine water, I can save Mom…”
“Lord Dharma King is the strongest cultivator in our Zang District. His divine water can cure all illnesses. He will definitely be able to cure Mom…”
“…”
The boy spoke, but when he spoke of the Dharma King, there was an unconcealable brightness in his eyes, as if it were his faith.
