Mortal.

Under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, there is a small city on the southwest border, and the city is not big, but now the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, the four borders are peaceful, the people are rich, and the people of the Tang Dynasty are living quite well.

The rooster crows three times, the dawn illuminates the heaven and the earth, and the small city wakes up from its slumber, and the most lively part of the small city is the east gate of the east of the city, where there are many lanes, it is the commercial center of the small city, and there are many people who sell food.

"Porridge, steamed buns, steamed buns, steamed buns just out of the cage, come and take a look, take a look. ”

"Hot tofu flowers, guest officer, have a bowl?"

"Sugar gourd, rock sugar gourd. ”

In the alleys where food is sold, the hawkers begin to shout hard, and the plan of the day lies in the morning, as the people at the bottom, if they want to support their families, they can only through hard work.

And in the midst of the shouts of the crowd, a young man walked out of the alley, who had passed his prime, but still looked like a teenager.

For decades, the boy would arrive in the alley on time every day, rain or shine, never late, never a moment earlier, never a moment later

At the end of the day, the figure of that man will appear in the alley.

Ordering a different meal every day, this man has eaten all the shops dozens of times, and the merchants in the alley come and go, but he is the only one who shows up in the alley on time every day.

"Young Master Wang is here again, I heard that you watched the ant fight for an afternoon yesterday afternoon, and I don't know who won, by the way, the ant king who won the battle didn't make the young master a general?" A peddler said with a smile, although he was called Young Master, there was no awe in everyone's tone, after all, the absurd name of Young Master Wang Shiwang had already spread throughout the county.

It is also strange to say that Wang Shi has not bullied men and women, but everyone takes pleasure in him every day, maybe he really bullies men and women, and everyone will be in awe of him.

Another humane: "Young Master Wang, you are still unmarried when you are old, it won't be that you can't marry, but also, unless you are blind, who will marry a girl to Young Master Wang?"

"You can't say that, you must know that the Wang family has a lot of money, and Young Master Wang is afraid that he will not have to worry about eating and drinking in this life. ”

"This is not necessarily, you look at Young Master Wang's waste appearance, after Master Wang passes, even the gold and silver mountains can be ruined. ”

The crowd burst into laughter, and the whole street was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

It's just that the only fly in the ointment is the ridicule of everyone, Wang Shi doesn't care, otherwise it would be more interesting to see the rich young master look angry.

And Wang Shi was not only not annoyed, but said with a smile: "A bowl of porridge and a drawer of steamed buns." ”

"Okay, young master, wait a minute. ”

No matter how much you ridicule, the business still has to be done, after Wang Shi sat down, someone came to Wang Gongzi's side and said: "Young Master Wang hasn't been to the City God Temple recently, young master, didn't you see a god last time and didn't worship, what else did you say that the city god was out of responsibility, compared to the young master, you are far worse when you are a god, young master, why don't you go to instruct the city god how to be a god recently?"

Everyone laughed and said, "By the way, young master, when have you ever been a god?"

Wang Shi took a bite of the bun and said, "I, I was born as a god. ”

Everyone laughed louder: "Then young master, why don't you go to Chang'an to see the emperor." ”

Everyone didn't dare to say it explicitly, but that meant that since you dared to teach the gods, why didn't you teach the emperors of the world how to behave.

Wang Shi actually thought about it seriously before he said: "The emperor of the world is not allowed to live forever, and it is not interesting to do it, it is better to be the emperor of the heavens." ”

Everyone laughed so much that tears were about to fall out, Wang Shi indifferently finished the breakfast, and then casually threw a piece of silver to the stall owner.

Wang Shi was really generous, and some people said jealously: "Look at him like this, Wanguan's family fortune will be lost sooner or later, and he has the ability to go to the restaurant to show off, what to show in our place." ”

Wang Shi wiped the corners of his mouth and said slowly: "For you, eating is to live, and for me, eating and eating is just to perceive what it is to live." ”

"When I was a god, I had all kinds of offerings, but I could only eat the "qi" of my own food, and it was hard for you to understand this feeling, which was clearly in front of me, but I couldn't really eat it. ”

"So at that time, I decided that when I really became a human being, I must taste all the flavors of this world, this food is second to me, I just want to try to live like you. ”

For some reason, everyone only felt that today's Wang Shi was very different, and when he spoke, everyone didn't dare to make a noise, but it was clear that they had no reverence for Wang Shi in their hearts.

Wang Shi smiled again and said: "I scolded the city god, but you see that the city god dares to fall on me, that is, my family went to the city god temple to worship, the temple host was not sincere and fearful, but a small city god, I can teach him his greatest blessing." ”

Wang Shi's words were inexplicably persuasive, and someone said with some trepidation: "You, you were really a god before?"

"It used to be," Wang Shi stood up and stretched, "but I'm leaving now, so I'm talking a little too much today." ”

"Leave?" Many people felt a little reluctant, after all, there was only one young master like Wang Shi who was generous and could have fun.

Wang Shidao: "My parents are about to pass away, and the grace of nurturing has been repaid, so I should leave." ”

Wang Shi got up and left, at this time no one dared to laugh at Wang Shi, although the prediction of life and death seemed so incredible, but everyone actually felt that what Wang Shi said was true.

When Wang Shi got up, everyone saw him like a god.

Before Wang Shi walked home, a servant came to report: "The old lady is no more." ”

Wang Shi just nodded, Wang Shi came to the mansion, and there was no sadness or tears on Wang Shi's face.

"Rebel son, rebel son!" cried the royal father.

"At the end of my life, there is no illness or disaster, why should I cry bitterly, and I slightly changed my father's longevity, so that my father and you can live for two more years, and also let your second old man have a companion on the Huangquan Road. ”

The royal father sighed: "You idiot is talking nonsense again, how can you change life and death, it's impossible to count on you, I want nothing else for my father, I hope that after the two of us go, you can marry a wife and have children, so that my royal family bloodline can be inherited." ”

Wang Shi hesitated for a moment and said, "The incense of the Wang Family Ancestral Hall will never be broken. ”

The royal father closed his eyes with satisfaction, and the queen mother looked at Wang Shi, as if she had a thousand words, but in the end she just raised her right hand and touched Wang Shi's forehead.

The light in the queen mother's eyes gradually faded, but there were countless reluctance and expectations in her eyes.

This is the constant concern of death and abandonment.

No matter how nonsense it is, no matter how ridiculous it is, Wang Shi is also the son they can't let go of.

Even though he was a god, Wang Shi's eyes still flowed with crystal tears.

He, crying.

Tears flowed into the mouth, a little bitter and a little astringent.

That's sadness.

As the tears slowly dropped, after today, Wang Shi, who walked out of the statue of the god on the bank of the Weishui River, became a real person.
