兔子助我上头香
1994
所谓“上头香”,就是在大年初一这天第一个到寺庙里点燃香火,时间要早,最好是早上零点时分。
老百姓拜菩萨,上头香,是想图个吉利,希望在新的一年里风调雨顺,吉祥如意。
但那个时候老百姓没有时钟,想上头香可不容易。
话说王家庄有个猎户叫王有才,平时好吃懒做,可是他却整天做着发财梦。
有一天,王有才外出打猎,发现他挖的陷阱里掉进了一只兔子,他喜出望外,兴冲冲地将兔子拎了回来。
回到家后,王有才操起刀子,正准备把它开膛破肚,不料那兔子却开口说话了:“你不是想发财吗?只要你放了我,我就指点你一条发财的路。
”
王有才一惊:“真的吗?你倒是说说如何才能让我发财。
”
兔子说道:“离庄16公里有座小寺庙,你大年三十的晚上赶过去,只要在三更时候准时点燃香火,来年你一定发大财。
”
王有才问道:“要想准时谈何容易,我怎么知道是三更时候呢?”
兔子说道:“这个你不用担心,你先到庙外等,到时庙里的蜡烛会自己点燃起来,你看到蜡烛光,立刻进去,把香点着,这就成了。
”王有才听了大喜,说:“好吧,我今天就不杀你,但我也不能放你,等我发了财,我自然会让你自由的。
”说完,王有才就把兔子关进了铁笼子。
转眼到了大年三十,王有才急冲冲地赶到了那座寺庙,到了那里,才二更天,王有才见庙里黑糊糊的,就坐在庙门口等待蜡烛光的出现,等着等着,不知不觉就睡着了。
突然,庙里的蜡烛点燃了,亮堂堂的,也就在这时,王有才睁开了眼,他看见一个英俊、潇洒的年轻人从庙里走了出来。
王有才心里那个恨哪:“好啊,这小子居然抢在大爷前面上了头香!”心里虽恨,可也没法。
王有才垂头丧气地回到家里,兔子问:“上了头香没有?”王有才把经过说了一遍,兔子问那人长什么样,王有才说了,兔子嘴巴动了动,想说什么,但还是忍住了。
第二年的大年三十晚上,王有才又赶到了那座寺庙,这次他不敢睡了。
三更时分,庙里的蜡烛亮了。
王有才急忙跳了起来,奔进庙里,一看,他气坏了:还是上次看到的那个年轻人,正笑眯眯地从里面走出来!王有才恨得咬牙切齿,他折断了手中的香,气呼呼地回了家,回家后把事情的经过告诉了兔子。
兔子的嘴巴动了动,想说什么,但又忍住了。
连续两年没上成头香,王有才心急如焚。
到了第三年的除夕,他特意起了个大早赶到了寺庙,从早上一直等到晚上三更蜡烛亮起来。
王有才想,这次该没有人抢在我的前面了吧?他掏出了香,兴冲冲地冲进庙里,可一进庙里他就呆了:熟悉的面孔,熟悉的衣着,还是前两次遇到的那个年轻人,又比王有才早到了一步!王有才可真的是气坏了,他想到只要这个年轻人活着,自己就不可能上头香,不可能发大财!臭小子,休怪大爷心狠手辣,这都是你逼的!于是王有才搬起一块大石头,悄悄地走到了那年轻人的身后,举起石头狠狠地朝他头上砸去……
王有才回到家里,对兔子说:“这次我没能烧上头香,不过明年准能烧上!”
兔子一声不吭地盯着王有才身上的血迹看,它默默地淌下了两滴眼泪,突然一头撞死在铁笼里。
在接下来的一年里,王有才天天盼着过年。
虽然他杀了人,心里有点儿害怕,但一想到不久就能腰缠万贯,他就兴奋得什么都忘了。
大年三十晚上,王有才直奔那座小庙。
三更,庙里的蜡烛点燃了,王有才走了进去,点燃了手中的香,这时他开心啊:我终于上了头香啦!王有才刚将香插进香炉,突然有人在他肩上拍了一下,他转身一看,只见被他砸死的那个年轻人正面色惨白、双眼血红地盯着他看。
王有才这一吓非同小可,顿时魂飞魄散,他大叫一声:“救命啊,有鬼啊!”随即撒开双腿,连滚带爬,向家里跑去。
到了家中,王有才就病倒了,不久就奄奄一息。
恍惚之间,他看见一只兔子跑进了房内,片刻后,那只兔子化为人形,是个老妇人。
她沉着脸,眼泪汪汪地对王有才说:“我有两个儿子,小儿子是被你抓住后在铁笼里撞死的,大儿子就是在庙里被你砸死的那个。
财神爷派我大儿子在庙里点燃蜡烛,等待前去上香的人,可惜你误认为他在跟你争着上头香而将他害了。
其实你只要走过去仔细看看就明白了,那香炉里根本没有点香,而你其实每次都是第一个去的人。
我小儿子当时没有告诉你真相,因为那是天机。
唉,你财迷心窍,害了不该害的人,阎王命我带你上路,快随我去吧!”
一个月后,庄里人发现王有才死在家中,已经腐烂了……
