When she reached the middle of the mountain, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Alice’s back.
It was very cold in the winter.
When they arrived, they were also wearing hats, scarves and gloves.
But being in the middle of the mountain to sit down and rest, Yanis and Alice had already taken off their gloves and hats, even their scarves.
Yanis was so warm that she wanted to take off her coat, but Nathanlo stopped her.
-Don’t take off your coat. You just feel warm in your body, but the temperature is the same in the surroundings. If you take it off, you will encounter the cold air and catch a cold.
Stopped by him, she wrinkled her nose unhappily.
-How can I get cold without taking it off?
Nathan took two towels out of his backpack, looked to the side and gestured.
-There is a wash basin over there. Mrs. Alice, could you go with Yanis and wipe off your sweat. Then rest for a while.
Alice smiled and took it, “Thank you.
It had to be said that Nathan was really thoughtful, even when he thought about such things.
The more she watched him, the more Alice felt that Nathan was a good person.
Yanis, a very carefree girl, should be well taken care of by Nathan.
It was a pity.
They both wiped the sweat from their backs. When they went back outside, Nathan had already found some hot water and was waiting for them.
-I don’t know what happened to you at that moment. I don’t know what happened to you at that moment, but drink some hot water to dispel the cold.
Alice took it and gave Nathan a deep look.
She could tell that the man was very careful.
-Thank you.
Yanis drank it slowly, looking at the people, travelers and pilgrims around him, and sighed, “I thought I had tried so hard. I felt so good when I was on the road. I didn’t expect that I would discover so many people when I got half way up. When we get to the top, will there be so many too? –
Alice pursed her lips and smiled, -Maybe? After all, there should be plenty of people sincerely worshipping God.
The three of them regained most of their physical strength after resting for almost half an hour, and then continued climbing.
As she got closer and closer to the top of the mountain, Alice felt her strength draining faster and faster. She spent the long rest time, but was particularly short on perseverance. She believed that if she were pregnant for a few more months, she would not be able to climb for real.
Until about five o’clock in the afternoon, the three of them reached the top of the mountain at last.
In fact, it shouldn’t have been that late, but Alice and Yanis were exhausted during the process, so they took a few breaks. That’s how the accumulated time was used up several times.
-After entering, if you don’t know how to worship, follow me and don’t run.
Before entering to light incense, Alice told Yanis next to her.
There were many people who came to LY Mountain to light incense, but everyone is very strict and respectful. No one had a frivolous smile or other on their face. Everyone remained serious.
When it was Alice’s turn, she knelt down and prayed fervently. Yanis was pious and earnest, learning from her.
-Did you ask for a divination stick, do you know how to do it?
Yanis nodded unconsciously.
-Yes.
When she was a child, when Brisa took her to light incense, she always asked for one. Brisa would say what she wanted before she asked for it.
-That’s fine.
Alice closed her eyes when she asked for it, and the stick tube swung gently in her hand. After a while, a certain stick fell as if it had vitality.
Alice picked it up and glanced at it. She memorized the number above, put it back in the tube and worshipped religiously again.
When it was Yanis’ turn, she was a little nervous.
When she heard that Alice was coming, she felt in her heart that she was craving something and wanted to join her. She desired something deep in her heart and she knew what it was.
But when she actually asked for a stick, Yanis thought it was ridiculous. Would the Bodhisattva hear her prayers? No…
Would the Bodhisattva help her achieve such absurd desires?
Besides, she had decided to abandon him.
Why did she come there for him?
-Why are you in a daze? -Seeing Yanis standing stupidly, Alice reached out her hand and pushed her gently.
Yanis’ senses came back to him, so he took a step forward and knelt down. Then she picked up the tube.
It would be nice not to ask for something too ridiculous.
-Faithful girl Yanis Saenz?
He read his own name silently in his heart, but he didn’t know what to say next. His mind and heart were in a mess, as he shook the tube.
A sound was heard
He did not expect that, at that moment, he was suddenly scattered the sticks and they fell to the ground.
Yanis was startled, opened his eyes quickly and looked at what happened nervously.
Alice was also stunned. She couldn’t imagine something like that happening. She knelt down closer and helped Yanis replace the sticks. Then he winked at her.
-Take it seriously.
-I’m sorry. I’m sorry… -Yanis replied repeatedly with apology, put down the stick and prayed again. He took a deep breath to let his heart become clear.
-The faithful girl Yanis Saenz….
After tens of seconds, a stick landed.
Yanis picked it up and memorized the numbers. She got up early and left the tube to others.
After leaving the temple, Alice looked at her with concern.
-What’s the matter? Worried?
-I’m fine. Just now my hands were shaking a little…..
Alice pursed her thin lips, looked at her slightly pale face and asked no more questions.
They all have some little secrets in their hearts that they don’t want to be known. They are the same. Why should I know the truth?
The person explaining what he was writing on the stick was an elderly monk, dressed in monk’s robes, who looked like a high-willed teacher.
Alice informed him what was on his stick.
The old man got the explanation of the stick for her, and after a few deep looks, he said.
-The donor’s stick is the best. You can get the solution of what you have asked for if you fix your mind on it.
Hearing this, Alice’s eyes lit up. She smiled and bowed to the old monk, “Thank you, master.
-And this donor?
The old man turned his gaze on Yanis, who looked a little worried.
Yanis recovered, opened his lips and then told him what he had.
She looked… not very good.
Indeed, after he found the correspondence for her, his voice became a little darker.
-The explanation…
Yanis bit his lower lip. It was the worst.
The monk suddenly changed his words, -Don’t worry too much. To will is power. Man can propose what God disposes.
Yanis felt that those words were used by the old monk to comfort her. She felt a little sad, but still she did not disappoint his good intentions. She smiled with an effort and bowed to the old monk, “Thank you, master. I will remember what you told me.
To will is power. Man can propose what God disposes.
Yanis had always believed in those prayers, that as long as he insisted on what he wanted, he would one day succeed.
But in certain things, it would not be useful.
