祭拜與火|Worship and Fire

"He placed the collected white silk on the altar. The silk was sticky with mucus, and as he held it in his hands, it felt chilling. Behind the altar, he stared at the red paper and wall charred black, and in front, there were meat and fruits arranged. The candlestick stood tall in the middle, while he twisted the wet stickiness in his hands, standing on a high stool.
He looked at the empty, ashen center of the candle flame and put the white silk inside. After the workers helped him down, he stood on the ground, feeling the solid earth supporting him from beneath."

「他將幫工收集來的白絲放上祭壇，絲上沾了粘液，捧在手裏瘆涼瘆涼的，他凝著神壇背後被燒得糊黑的紅紙和牆，前面擺上了肉和果類，燭臺高高地擋在中間，他搓撚手上的濕粘，踩在高凳上。
他看著燭火中央空蕩的一片灰黑，將白絲放進去。幫工扶他下來後，他踩在地上，感覺土地厚實地將他頂起來。」
