小鬼无常
316
我曾经借居在一干休所里,而这是一个相对比较清静的地方,很适宜写作。
干休所的院里有十几幢房子,居住的大都是部队退休的老干部。
在大院里常能看到坐在三轮车上的老人,两眼发直,双手发颤,顺着嘴角流涎水,几乎不能自理了,推车的大都是雇的保母。
闲暇休息时,我会陪女儿去操场上打打羽毛球。
而这时候,就会遇到一个老人,坐在轮椅上,远远地看我和女儿打羽毛球。
太阳照在老人身上,安祥而舒适。
不为房愁,衣食无忧,有这样一个安静的晚年也不错。
女儿见面会和他打招呼:“老爷爷好!”
他会连连点头,很高兴地问答:“好、好!”
老人看到我女儿打出好球,脸上就会洋溢出天真的微笑,两只枯手轻轻地拍在一起。
忽然有一天,安静的老人突然大叫起来,情绪显得得异常激动,吸引了正在打羽毛球的我的注意。
老人似乎在和什么人睁吵:“不,我不去,时间还没到呢!”
老人大声喊,胳膊肘儿还用力往外外推,从动做和力度看,似乎不象是一个九十多岁的老人,倒像一个年轻小伙。
“老人家今儿这是怎么了?”我问老人背后的保母。
保母只看我,不说话。
“我能活到100岁,时间还没到呢,凭什么拉我去?!我不去!”老人沙哑着嗓子喊。
女儿有些害怕,躲到我身后去。
“老人家是不是精神有问题了?得快去上瞧瞧!”我提醒保母。
现在的保母,负责任的不多了。
保母看出我责怪的表情,冲我使了一个眼色,走向一边。
我跟过去。
她压低声音说:“他就那样,过个把月就要犯一次。
他说是阎王派无常小鬼来捉他,你瞧他又是吵又是叫的,还胳膊肘儿用力往外推,是在与小鬼无常拒理力争。
无常鬼要拉他去见阎王,他坚持自己的寿限不到,就是不肯去!”
我看着老人怪异的举动言行,禁不住脊梁根儿冒凉气。
人老了都怕死,这位老干部也不例外,怕死都怕出心病来了。
我带着女儿往家走。
走出十几步,老人突然大声叫:“喂,喂!”
我以为他在叫我,转回身看他,老人乎似乎恢复了平静,脸上挂着灿烂的笑:“喂,你是职业小说作家吗?我读过你的《石佛镇》,你见过鬼,是吗?有时间来找我,我告诉你……”
其实,以前各位看到我的许多超短篇恐怖小说,并不是我杜撰的,而是这位自称与无常鬼抗争的老人告诉我的。
