Chapter 885 - 885 With That
885 With That
After Ike got out of the car, the other nine sisters also got out. Ye Xuan stood in the middle of the sisters and looked around curiously.
The geographical location here was relatively high. From here, one could see half of Bali.
It was already late. From here, they could see the night scenery of Bali.
As Ye Xuan and the rest walked in, his sisters were still buying things crazily from the stall beside them. Anyway, as long as they liked it, they would buy it all.
Soon, they arrived at the center of the ceremony. There was a huge pile of wood here.
“When the ceremony begins tonight, we’ll light this bonfire. Of course, there are other arrangements. This is the most important part.”
As Ike spoke, he explained to Ye Xuan why there was so much wood here!
“By the way, Chairman Ye, you’ll light the bonfire this time.”
As Chairman Ike spoke, he turned to look at Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan looked at the wood piled in the middle curiously.
“I just need to light it with a torch, right?”
He had also learned about the local customs and culture in Bali.
He knew that they would all pray around the bonfire.
However, he had never seen how this bonfire was lit. However, in Ye Xuan’s subconscious mind, it should have been lit with a torch.
“Then won’t there be a bonfire dance tonight?”
Ye Meng, who was at the side, looked at it curiously. From the decorations around them, it seemed that they were actually for dancing. Thinking of this, she was a little excited.
“You should be. According to my previous research, they hold such a ceremony every year. Moreover, the person who lights the bonfire every time is someone of high moral standing or n.o.ble status here.”
“To them, the more n.o.ble the person, the better the effect of the prayer.”
Ye Xue, who was at the side, gently tapped her fair chin and explained to everyone.
After everyone heard this, they finally understood why Chairman Ike asked Ye Xuan to light this bonfire. After all, in this place, Ye Xuan’s ident.i.ty was the most precious relative to others.
However, when Ike heard Ye Xuan say that it was lit using a torch, he felt a little awkward.
“Actually, we don’t light it with a torch. Instead, we use arrows and rockets to light this bonfire.”
At this point, Ike was a little ashamed. He scratched his head awkwardly and turned to look at the wood placed in the middle.
“Speaking of which, I’m a little embarra.s.sed. Because my archery isn’t good, I used a torch the previous few times when I lit this bonfire.”
“Of course, I’ve tried to ignite it with a rocket in the past, but I’ve tried a few times without success, so I had to change the method.”
After Ike finished speaking, Ye Xuan was instantly interested.
“Then let me light it with a rocket.”
When Ye Xuan finished speaking, Ike did not react. The supervisor who walked over from the side widened his eyes when he heard this.
“No, no, no.”
After the supervisor finished speaking, he immediately realized that he had said something wrong.
He quickly stood at attention and looked at Ye Xuan apologetically.
“It’s like this. If we want to ignite it with a rocket, we have to shoot arrows from a distant platform.”
“Ordinary people can’t do it. Let’s not talk about whether you can pull the bow or not. Moreover, this accuracy is not something ordinary people can do. You can just light it with a torch like Chairman Ike.”
The supervisor was afraid that what he said just now would offend Ye Xuan and quickly explained.
At the same time, he was afraid that something would go wrong at the ceremony tonight.
“It’s fine. I’ve learned archery before. This is actually not too difficult for me. Don’t worry.”
Ye Xuan naturally knew what the supervisor was worried about now. He was worried about Ye Xuan’s safety and whether the bonfire tonight could be successfully lit.
This ceremony was still quite important to them. If their ceremony failed because of his mistake, they would actually feel bad.
“Alright, don’t worry. Since Chairman Ye is so confident, we should believe him.”
Ike walked up to the supervisor and patted his shoulder with a smile.
With Ike’s words, the supervisor didn’t dare to say anything else. He could only nod heavily and pray that nothing would go wrong at the ceremony tonight.
Moreover, with Ike speaking up for Ye Xuan, it was impossible for him to persuade them.
After everyone understood, they began to wander around the vicinity.
Although this was a ceremony, there were still many small stalls selling things here. In addition, there were many tourists who came to play, so this place was extremely lively.
The sisters were the center of attention wherever they went. Many people even wanted to come up and take photos, but they were all blocked by Ye Wan.
With Ye Wan as a shield, her sisters had a lot of fun.
Coupled with Ye Bing’s presence, those who wanted to forcefully come over and strike up a conversation with the sisters were all glared at by her.
When the ceremony was about to begin, more and more people gathered around.
Most of them were actually local people. They were all wearing their local clothes and could be recognized at a glance.
Meanwhile, a small number of tourists were infected by the atmosphere of the event location and bought many local clothes.
Moreover, they changed into their clothes in the changing room at the side and partic.i.p.ated in this ceremony.
Soon, it was time for the ceremony to begin.
Under Ike’s lead, Ye Xuan and his sisters arrived at the center of the ceremony.
Because Ye Xuan was going to light a bonfire today, he changed into their unique clothes.
As for Ye Wan, Ye Ying, and Ye Xin, because they were Ye Xuan’s sisters, they had also changed into Balinese gowns.
When the sisters saw that they were wearing gowns from Southeast Asia, they were overjoyed. They immediately took out their phones and took a few photos as souvenirs.
“Everyone, welcome to Bali!”
Just as Ye Xuan and the rest changed into their gowns, a dignified and loud voice came from the microphone in the distance.
Everyone fell silent and listened to this voice quietly.
At this moment, under the supervisor’s lead, Ye Xuan and the others walked to the high platform step by step.
At this moment, the emcee holding the microphone finished saying what he had prepared for tonight.
