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.
