Chapter 61 Chapter 60: Avoiding Anger and Arrogance as a Model

I remember that it should have happened many years ago, when Jie Anger and Jie Pride were only thirteen or fourteen years old, only a little older than Jie Crazy and the others now.At that time, we were leisurely, and the affairs in the temple were undertaken by the masters. Jie Ao and I often ran around on Maoshan Mountain. The place we liked most was of course the Triple Waterfall with flowing water and the fragrance of flowers. Life in the mountains is actually not much fun. At that time, I thought the most fun game was to run from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and then run back.

That morning, Jie Chen and Jie Ao rushed down the mountain as usual, ran a long way down the mountain, went around to the back of the mountain, and then ran up the mountain along the trail near the triple waterfall. Knowing that there are usually no people in the mountains at this time, Jie Ao yelled as usual while running. He always likes to mix up various scriptures and yell, and he often sweats when he hears it. I don’t know if the Buddha will will blame.Jie Chen's speed was not as fast as his, and he just followed behind, but Jie Ao suddenly lost his voice. Jie Chen ran to the side of Jie Ao who had stopped, and followed his gaze to look forward. It turned out that there was a person on the side of the mountain road far away from us. He sat motionless on the rock, looking in the direction of the waterfall.

Jie Ao whispered, why are there people in the mountains now? Maybe the sound of quitting arrogance just now alarmed the other party. The person on the rock suddenly turned his head, looked towards us, and then turned his head away again. Jie Chen gently pushed Jie Ao, and said to him, let's continue walking.So the two quickly walked towards the top of the mountain in a very gentle manner, and slowly approached the benefactor.Seeing from behind, the benefactor's hair is very messy, Jie Chen felt that the other party was too weird, whispered to Jie Ao in a low voice, Jie Ao comforted Jie Chen and said that messy hair may not necessarily be a problem, it may also be a literary worker.

The benefactor who was sitting on the rock suddenly turned his head, looked at us with a smile, and said, is there something important for the two little masters to go up the mountain? Seeing his expression, Jie Chen felt much more at ease, so he shook his head together with Jie Ao, indicating that there was nothing important. The benefactor turned around, and there was actually a drawing board in his hand. The benefactor said, please do me a favor from the two little masters. Be my model and sit on the rock in front of the waterfall for a while, okay? Jie Chen and Jie Ao looked at each other, seeing that the benefactor didn't look like a bad person, and he had nothing to do anyway, so he nodded in agreement.

We sat on the rock with our backs to the benefactor, and the benefactor gave us a big box of biscuits, saying that you can eat and sit while you eat, so it won't be too boring. We sat on the stone with the biscuit box in our hands. The biscuits inside were of many colors. Jie Yan had never seen this kind of biscuits before, so we ate them together with Jie Ao.But after only sitting for a short while, he felt bored, so Jie An planned to discuss with Jie Ao the scriptures he had learned a few days ago to pass the time.But later, the topic was not successfully initiated, but they discussed with Jie Ao what color biscuit tastes best.

We sat there for almost an hour that day, and the benefactor finished the painting, and there were actually two copies, one was neatly handed over to us, and the other was put in his portfolio. That was the only time we saw the benefactor, the painting he gave us, we took it home and hid it in the table. A few days ago, Jie Chen unintentionally turned over that old painting. In the painting, there are beautiful landscapes, the rain-observing pavilion that has been poured down, and the youthful resentment and arrogance. Ten years ago, our favorite game was running around on mountain roads. Now that we think about it, this kind of game is almost uninteresting, but it made us tireless at that time.We unsuspectingly posed as models for strangers we'd never met, and gorged on the unknown food he handed us.

As we walk through life, we learn to guard against others and protect ourselves day by day, thus discarding the innocence that exists between people.
