背金
299
小的时候,最开心的就是听我家的二大爷拉呱讲鬼故事,听了他讲得鬼故事后,我们几个伙伴晚上连门也不敢出,早早的钻进被窝里。
可是到了第二天,又不知不觉的来到二大爷晒太阳的地方,死磨硬缠的不让二大爷拿虱子,非要讲故事不可。
二大爷给我们讲得故事可真的不少了,但只有《背金》这个故事一直影响到我现在。
相传,有一个叫万守财的大地主,长得是尖嘴猴腮,瘦骨嶙峋的样子,老百姓说他是老动脑子使坏注意的缘故,身体才没有发福。
他虽然家产万贯,良田千顷豪富一方,但仍然做着拼命敛财,强抢豪夺,欺男霸女的勾当,可苦了当地老百姓。
村里有个苦娃叫乞儿,今年不幸父母先后去世,好歹还留下了一个遮风挡雨的土坯房子。
乞儿看着徒空的四壁,只有以泪相伴。
哎,穷人的孩子早当家。
为了生存,唯一的办法就是到大财主家租些粮食种子来种庄稼,以度生计。
万守财见到乞儿前来租高粮种子,心里乐哈哈的,他早就垂涎乞儿的那所房子,便心生一计,拨弄着手中的算盘说道:“乞儿,你也知道租粮食的规矩,租一斗还三斗。
今年你家出了这此些不幸的事情,我也知道你难。
”万守财开始装起了慈悲,“要不这么着吧,我给你一斗高粱你来年还我一斗就行。
但是我还有一个要求,那就是以你那破房子作抵押,你看怎么样?”
乞儿想来想去,也没有别的法子,要是没有种子那不得饿死呀,到时候什么也得不到,就索性就答应了万守财的要求。
“行,我就要租一斗的高粱种子。
”
万守财让乞先回去,明天前来取高粱种子。
到了晚上,万守财就让老婆取来一斗高粱,放在锅里用火炒。
老婆一个劲得夸自己的老头子聪明,万守财脸上也露出了阴险的笑容。
到了第二天,不知是计的乞儿在合约上按了手印,领走了那被炒熟了的高粱种子,种在了自己的院子里。
乞儿天天守护旁边,期盼高梁早点发芽,长出庄稼。
日子一天天过去了,只有从地里长出一棵小高粱苗外,就再也没有窜芽的了。
乞儿在地里用手扒着,发现所有的种子都已经烂掉了。
乞儿趴在地上大哭起来,他也不知道那棵发了芽的高粱,还是万守财的老婆在炒得时候不小心蹦到锅台上的呢。
不管怎样,有一棵小苗那也是希望,乞儿不管是白天还晚上小心翼翼的看护着它,不断的给它施肥、浇水,除草拿虫子,这棵高粱长得粗壮喜人,还结了一个大大的高粱穗子。
这一天,乞儿还像往常一样守护着高粱,怕被麻雀给啄食了。
这时,从空中飞来一只老鹰,向着高粱俯冲下来。
乞儿连忙驱赶,但是已经晚了,老鹰叼着那大高粱穗就向着太阳的方向飞走了。
乞儿就拼命的去追,也不知道翻过了多少座山,趟过了多少条河,老鹰终于落在了一座高高的山顶上。
它见乞儿爬到了山顶就说:“为了这棵高粱值得这样不要命吗?”乞儿就把种高粱前因后果一一道来:“那没有良心的大财主,为了得到我家的那座房子,把租给我的高粱全用锅给炒熟了,好让我还不起粮租,想侵占我的房子,好歹就长了这么一棵,还被你给叨走了,你说我能不急吗?”
老鹰一听是这么一回事,就说道:“这么着吧,你顺着这条路往里走,一直走到太阳升起的地方,那儿有许多金子,你要赶到太阳升起之前,拿些速速下山,要不然就会被太阳烤死的。
”乞儿记住了老鹰的话,果真找了许多金子,乞儿抓起两把金粒子就急忙的回来了。
回到家后,乞儿不仅接济了老百姓,还翻盖了房子,还清了粮租。
万守财非常的纳闷,乞儿一不会偷,二不会抢的到底上那弄来了这么多的金子?他亲自上门拜访,乞儿心想,要不是你当初的所作所为我也到了不了这一天,就干脆把事情的来龙去脉说了一遍。
万守财听完后,如获至宝,高高兴兴地回家了。
过了年到了种庄稼的季节,万守财就让老婆就像给乞儿炒高粱一样,故意把一棵种子掉在锅台上。
当他发现真的从地里长出一棵高粱苗的时候,他是大喜过望,什么也不做了,专心的守护着小苗。
他也不断给它施肥、浇水,除草拿虫子,这棵高粱也长得粗壮喜人,结出了一个大大的高粱穗子。
这一天,那只老鹰又出现在了天空,它发现那棵高粱后就冲了下来,叨走了那棵大穗子。
万守财在后面是拼命的追赶。
同样,他也不知道翻过了多少座山,趟过了多少条河,老鹰终于落在了一座高高的山顶上。
当万守财爬到山顶的时候,是一点力气也没有了,他从没干过活,出过力,能追到这已经是不错了。
老鹰说道:“为了这棵高粱值得这样不要命吗?”万守财就撒谎道:“那没有良心的大财主,为了得到我家的那座房子,把租给我的高粱全用锅给炒熟了,好让我还不起粮租,想侵占我的房子,好歹就长了这么一棵,还被你给叨走了,你说我能不急吗?” 老鹰一听觉得有点耳熟,但也没有仔细想,就说道:“这么着吧,你顺着这条路往里走,一直走到太阳升起的地方,那儿有许多金子,你要赶到太阳升起之前,拿些速速下山,要不然就会被太阳烤死的。
”
万守财没有把老鹰的话记在心里,他早就做好了准备,偷偷的带了一只大口袋来装金子。
他心里还想:乞儿那傻小子,来一回不多带点回去,真的好笨。
没有多久,他果真找到了金子,他拼命往袋子里装,不多时就装满了,浑身的布袋也塞得满满的,眼看太阳快要升起来了,还是不舍得满地的金子,想统统的给带走。
当他感觉到越来越热时,想背起金子却怎么也背不动,不多时身上的衣服就冒烟了,如果他现在丢掉袋子还来的急,可是他不,背不动他就拖,可是没多久他就被活活的烤死了。
这个故事虽然过了好多年,但它依然在我的耳边记忆犹新,就像二大爷叮嘱一样,伴我一生。
