At the foot of Buzhou Mountain, in recent years, there has always been a woman who brought her child to the foot of the mountain to look out.
This child is more than four years old. Every night before dark, his mother will lead him over, point to the mountain peak above the clouds, and say: "Your father is there."
"What is my dad doing there?"
"He is acting like a god"
"What is a fairy?" the child asked with a milky voice, raising his head.
"The gods are very powerful. They can soar into the clouds and ride on the mist, fly over eaves and walls, move mountains and fill seas..."
Whenever this happens, the child will jump up happily, clap his hands and say, "Well, my dad is so awesome. I will be like him and become a god in the future."
But at this time, the woman would squat down and say softly: "Don't think about being a god like your father did. That's not good. You just need to stay with your mother. What's the good thing about being a god? There are so many people around you."
If you don’t have anyone close to you, and your wife and children are not around, what fun is there in living? In fact, mother doesn’t want your father to become a god at all, I just want him to be by my side.”
Children definitely don't understand this, but Tian Jiu understands that she doesn't envy gods, she just wants to be able to stay with Chen Pingping.
She felt that what she wanted was not much, just having children and a husband. She heard that all the powerful gods lived alone, but what was the point of that?
Later, Tianjiu still brought her son here every day and waited for Chen Pingping at the foot of the mountain. She waited for a long time, so long that the child would no longer ask what a god was, but would only think about his father.
It's time to come back.
After Chen Pingping on Buzhou Mountain realized that his ideals and beliefs were in vain, he wandered around in the mountain in a daze. He did not dare to return to the village because he did not know how to face the people in the village and Tianjiu.
.
I came to see the gods, but I don’t even have a damn thing. How can I say that?
So Chen Pingping was in a daze, thinking that maybe one day he would be like those bones, because of disappointment and lack of goals, he would eventually be wasted to death on the mountain.
Chen Pingping thought that dying might be the best choice, at least he wouldn't have to face it.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Pingping closed his eyes and did not wake up for a long time. His consciousness was already in a wandering state.
But while he was sleeping, he vaguely heard someone calling him. It was a woman holding a child at the foot of the mountain and calling to the top of the mountain.
This dream was so real that Chen Pingping could clearly see the appearance of the woman and the child, and even heard what they were saying.
Chen Pingping suddenly opened his eyes with a "swish", as if he noticed a connection between blood. He climbed up with difficulty, turned around and turned his back to the cemetery behind, looking down the mountain from the clouds.
He didn't know how many years had passed, but he remembered the night he and Tian Jiu had before leaving.
Thinking, thinking, Chen Pingping moved step by step towards the next step of the mountain. Then he stumbled and rolled down. He rolled a few times and hit a rock. The severe pain made his head suddenly wake up.
Quite a few.
Chen Pingping said: "She must be waiting for me..."
Spring passes and autumn comes, time passes slowly.
It was spring time of the year. Tianjiu, who was already a woman and approaching middle age, and a ten-year-old child came to the foot of Buzhou Mountain in the evening as usual. They carried baskets with food in their hands, and then placed them on the
on a stone.
Tianjiu pulled the child and asked him to kneel down, and said: "Kowtow to your father, burn incense, and let him eat enough..."
The child knelt down silently, closed his eyes and knelt down in the direction of the mountain.
Tian Jiu raised her head in confusion. Eleven years have passed like this. She has never mentioned the word "gods" again, not even to her son beside her, because they all know that gods are far away from them.
Far away, Chen Pingping was also far away from them.
After ten years of absence, everything has become a thing of the past.
"Mom, okay, let's go." After the child kowtowed, he stood up and took Tianjiu's hand and said.
Tianjiu said "Yeah" and led the child towards the village, repeating the scene he had been doing for many years as usual.
But this time, for some reason, Tianjiu suddenly turned around with feeling. She felt that there seemed to be a gaze looking over from behind her. That feeling made her so familiar and full of endless expectations.
.
After Tianjiu turned her head, she looked along the horizon and saw a figure staggering over. The figure was far away and her vision was blurry, but she felt unusually familiar.
"Mom, there seems to be someone there?" The child pointed in the direction of Buzhou Mountain.
Tianjiu opened her mouth, then rubbed her eyes vigorously. She seemed to have ten thousand words to say, but she realized that she didn't even spit out the last word, and everything was blocked at the edge of her mouth.
"Mom, that person saw us too, why didn't he move?"
Chen Pingping's whole body was stiff. He looked at Tian Jiu and then at the child she was holding. His eyes moved back and forth between the two of them. He also opened his mouth, but found that not a single word was uttered.
come out.
Time seemed to be frozen at this moment. Between Tianjiu and Chen Pingping, everything was frozen. Their eyes seemed to have traveled through time, and they suddenly returned to that night eleven years ago.
He went to find the immortal.
She is waiting for him to come back.
Eleven years have passed and she is still waiting.
Chen Pingping staggered over and staggered over. He took a few steps and somersaulted, and his body was torn to pieces. However, he ran towards Tianjiu who was welcoming him without caring.
The child looked at the two people and suddenly realized something. He understood everything a ten-year-old should understand.
When people are most excited, language is secondary. No matter how many words they say, it is difficult to reconcile this state. This is the case for Chen Pingping and Tianjiu. Even ten thousand words cannot compare to how close they are.
, as if each of them wants to blend into each other's body.
After a long time, the two separated. Chen Pingping held Tianjiu's face and said softly: "I'm back, you're still here, okay, okay..."
Tianjiu said: "I've been waiting for you for a long time. It's great that you can come back. It's great..."
Suddenly, both of them lowered their heads at the same time. Tianjiu pulled the child to Chen Pingan and said softly: "He has been waiting for you for a long time, just like me."
Chen Pingping knelt down and stroked the child's head excitedly. The child lowered his head and said softly: "Dad, are you a god?"
