Chapter 21 The twentieth dead end

There is a kind of bamboo carving crafts that are very popular in Miao Town, where Jiechen lives. Therefore, there are quite a lot of bamboo carving craftsmen in the town, and the most famous one among the many bamboo carving craftsmen is Old Benefactor Cheng who lives on the edge of Pinghu Lake.Although old benefactor Cheng has extraordinary craftsmanship, his works are rare, so it is not easy to buy his works. Once, benefactor Shen, a pilgrim who often came to Tianming Temple, ordered several bamboo carvings from benefactor Cheng, but benefactor Shen calculated that on the day when the bamboo carvings were completed, he happened to have something to leave Miaozhen for a few days.

So, before leaving, Shen benefactor specially asked Jie Chen for help. He said that he was afraid that the bamboo carvings made by old benefactor Cheng would be too popular.Benefactor Shen hoped that after the bamboo carving was finished, Jie Chen would take it back for him and keep it for a few days. In fact, Jie Chen knew the old benefactor Cheng very well, he was very trustworthy, just to reassure the benefactor Shen, he agreed. A few days later, old benefactor Cheng really called Jie An and asked Jie An to go and take back the bamboo carvings he had made. Jie Chen put down the phone, only to remember that he forgot to ask Old Master Cheng how many bamboo carvings he had and how big they were.I called again to inquire, but no one answered the phone, so Jie Chen had no choice but to call Jie Ao to find Old Benefactor Cheng together, so as not to be unable to carry it alone.

Old benefactor Cheng's home, Jie'an, has been there several times before, and the distance is not too far. After walking out of Miao Town, he can walk there along a straight road. Just walking halfway, he saw a lot of people and cars blocking up ahead. Jie An and Jie Ao came forward to take a look. There were many rocks and dirt on the road, all rolled down from the nearby mountains.Going forward, the road has been completely blocked by earth and rocks, and it is completely impassable. Jie Chen looked at the road and sighed, although this road was not the only way to get to Master Cheng's house, but if he detoured to Pinghu by another small road, it would be not easy to walk, and the distance would be much longer.

But in today's situation, Jiechen can only choose to take the path. Walking on a small path needs to bypass a forest, Jie Chen and Jie Ao are walking among the bushes, when they suddenly hear the cry of immature birds.The sound came from a strange direction, as if it came from the ground in front of us, and then we heard hoarse and shrill birds chirping in the sky. When we looked up, two birds were circling above our heads and singing at the same time.Jie Chen and Jie Ao followed the immature bird's cry, and found a fluffy bird in the grass under a big tree. Jie Ao looked up at the big bird in the sky, and then at the big tree, feeling that the bird in the grass might have fallen from the nest above.

Therefore, Jie Ao wrapped the little bird with his monk's robe, bit the monk's robe with his mouth to prevent it from falling apart, then climbed up the tree, slowly climbed to the side of the bird's nest, and put the little bird inside. Jie Chen thought, in fact, during this day, I encountered two unfavorable things. The first one was that I forgot to ask Mr. Cheng about the size and quantity of the bamboo carvings, and finally Jie Chen had to drag Jie Ao to come together; The second thing is that I encountered a landslide and had to take a detour and take a small road. But Jie Chen also felt that if he hadn't taken a detour to take a small path and brought Junior Brother Jie Ao who was very experienced in tree climbing, the little bird that fell in the grass today would not have the chance to return to its nest.

Perhaps the road of life is like this, we will encounter many setbacks and many roads that will not work.But even if we're forced to walk down a path we don't want to take, that doesn't mean it won't bring you unexpected rewards.
