Man encounters a century-old boxwood by a ditch, bows 3 times and hurries away; grandpa says he has the desire but not the nerve

A man encountered a century-old boxwood by a ditch, bowed 3 times and quickly left; grandpa said: he has the desire but not the nerve!

Nowadays, with the development of society, people's living standards have greatly improved, which also means that in a comfortable living environment, people inevitably feel a touch of loneliness. So, in pursuit of a more fulfilling leisure life and to better enrich their lives, people choose to travel, take walks, chat, play chess, do square dancing, learn tai chi, and so on.

However, there is a certain type of people who choose to inherit and carry forward the traditional Chinese spirit, learning to grow flowers, plant trees, keep birds, and so on to enrich their leisure time. With such demand, of course there will be people who specialize in digging up flowers and plants. Orchids and boxwood stumps in particular have been the most popular potted flower and tree stump varieties in recent years, deeply favored by city dwellers. It can be said that for a single plant or tree stump, some people are willing to spend heavily to buy it, which has produced some people who specialize in digging up stumps.

Among them, Uncle Zhang is someone who specializes in digging up stumps to sell. Because he is not highly educated and has always farmed at home, in recent years the digging of stumps has become popular, which has also given his great strength a place to be used. He is truly bold: whether it is foggy or rainy, he can go into the mountains alone to look for stumps. If it were me, going into the mountains on a foggy day would still be a bit scary, since now with the Grain for Green policy, there are wild boars and other animals. But he is really bold enough to be shocking. Yet a recent incident still left him not daring to act; you could say he had the desire but not the nerve, and upon seeing a good stump he bowed 3 times and quickly left.

It turned out that on July 20, the fog was rather thick, and he still rode his bike into the mountains alone. Because his luck was not as good as usual, he wandered in the mountains for more than three hours in a row and still found nothing. How could he, unwilling to give up, submit to that? So he walked farther himself. Unexpectedly, after his long trek, by a small ditch, he could see a rather large boxwood tree from far away, which made him extremely happy; today at last there was a harvest. But when he walked closer to look, it made him somewhat afraid, because next to this boxwood there was a small house, and inside it were placed several Bodhisattva statues. Judging by the signs, the incense offerings were still flourishing. Being knowledgeable in such matters, he immediately stepped back a few paces, at once bowed 3 times and left.

I heard grandpa say that such a tree that is worshipped by people is a divine tree and must not be touched. If it is disturbed carelessly, the deity will be angry and punish the person who digs it up recklessly. No wonder Uncle Zhang, although bold, still did not dare to act recklessly. Here, what I want to say is that a thousand-year-old tree like this must not be dug up carelessly, because it itself grows rather slowly; not to mention that the deity will protect it, we ourselves should also have the awareness to protect it. In such a situation, if it were you, how would you handle it?
