Chapter 22 The twenty-first wall climbing tiger

The old benefactor Yue in Miao Town is a friend of Master Zhiyuan, and he often goes to Tianming Temple to talk about Buddhism with Master Zhiyuan.Both Master Yue and Master Zhiyuan like to grow flowers, but Master Yue has more experience in flower art. Master Zhiyuan will also ask him for advice when encountering problems in growing flowers. Old benefactor Yue is easy-going and humorous. Everyone in the temple likes old benefactor Yue very much, especially Jiechen and Jizhi. Every time old benefactor Yue comes, they will come over. Old benefactor Yue's home is not far from Maoshan. If you drop by when you go to Miao Town, everyone will go to his house.

It was an afternoon when Jie Chen first saw the wall-climbing tiger in the old benefactor's house. That day, Jie Chen and Jie Chi went down the mountain to do errands, and when they returned to the mountain, they passed the home of old benefactor Yue.Through the courtyard wall made of simple wooden slats, we can see that old benefactor Yue is busy in the flower garden.We were about to pass by quietly so as not to disturb old benefactor Yue's work, but old benefactor Yue raised his head at this moment and saw us. Old benefactor Yue looked at us through the fence and smiled, saying, "Don't be angry, come in and have a cup of tea."

Hearing the invitation, Jie Chen hesitated, wondering if he should go in or not.Elder Yue's benefactor said to Jie Chi again: "Yesterday, friends in the city sent a lot of delicious pastries, do you want Jie Chi to try it?" Thus, Jie Chen, who was still hesitating, was immediately dragged into the courtyard by the gluttonous Jie Chi. Jie Chi was sitting in the yard eating cakes, Jie An was drinking tea, chatting with old benefactor Yue while admiring his flowers and plants. Flowers of various colors are dotted in the green of the courtyard, and different fragrances are mixed, but the smell is not unpleasant.It's just that these gorgeous flowers are mixed together, but they lose their original charm.

In the end, it was a creeper attached to the wall of the house that caught Jie's eyes.It was still a young plant, with only one branch climbing up the wall. The young green leaves seemed to blend with the somewhat gray wall. The small branches and leaves were lonely and moving.Jie Chen squatted in front of it and looked at it for a long time. Old benefactor Yue saw Jie An looking at the wall-climbing tiger, so he told Jie An that he did not raise this plant on purpose, it may have grown from seeds that accidentally fell on the wall. The wall-climbing tiger stayed in Jie'an's mind for a long time, sometimes looking at the wall, Jie'an would suddenly think of the wall-climbing tiger that touched him inexplicably.

When I saw this wall-climbing tiger again, it had been a long time since I saw it for the first time.On the day of Jiechen, I passed by the yard of Lao Lao’s benefactor alone, and I accidentally thought of the wall-climbing tiger. I couldn’t help looking in, but found that the young wall-climbing tiger had grown very big, and the branches and leaves covered Yue Lao. The entire wall of the donor's house is quite imposing.It's just that the feeling of aloofness that touched Jie Chen's heart at the beginning suddenly disappeared. Although it is difficult for Jie Chen to describe his feelings towards these flowers and plants, Jie Chen feels that it turns out that many things are not perfect to be beautiful, in fact, it is also very important to be just right.
