鬼火

大概是上世纪90年代中后期吧，那时候正是计划生育抓的比较严的时候，超生是件得保密的事，一旦被“多舌的人”举报，乡镇抓计生的干部就会联系村里的计生联络员，上门抓人去结扎。
所以当时村里有妇女多怀了一胎娃，逃计生是常有的事。
抓计生的一旦逮不着人就会掀计生“对象”屋顶的瓦片或者把他们家的猪呀羊呀牵走，以示态度或当做罚款。
有时候还发生冲突，俺们村里就曾经有计生“对象”拿柴刀把抓计生的干部脖子给划了口子，这些冲突也是常有的事，俺都亲眼见过好几回。

下面俺要开始讲的故事就跟这逃计生给联系上了。

说的是俺们村一对超生“对象”，女的叫月娥，男的叫阿稳。
月娥多怀了娃被人举报了。
这天，镇里头抓计生的干部又上门来逮人了，他们两口子预知消息后，就匆忙逃到半山腰的树林里躲避，蹲的位置刚好隔着树丛可以看得见大队（以前的生产大队地址，改革开放后称呼依然被保留下来）的方向，以便观察。
他们静静的等待着，期盼着抓计生的车辆快点离去。

等了许久，天有点放黑了。
两口子不能确定抓计生的是否已经离开了，阿稳就提出让月娥呆在原地不动，他去打探下情况后回来接她，然后起身离开了。
月娥等了很久，迟迟未见丈夫的影子，天也更黑了，她一个女人在黑夜的树林里多少有点害怕。
她心理猜疑，丈夫会不会是被人抓走了。
干等也不是办法，她低头一沉，下定决心径直往家赶去……

月娥回到家后才发现事态不是她想的那样，丈夫没有回过家，也没有被抓走。
月娥的公公婆婆发现只有媳妇一个人回来又问不出个所以然，就没好气的说了几句难听的话。
月娥没狡辩什么，晚饭也没吃自个躲进里屋把自己反锁在里面了。

阿稳不见了，像人间蒸发一样。
村里人彻夜打手电筒到处问到处找，口中喊着阿稳的名字，愣是没找到人。
寻了大半夜，大伙也没法子了，只好等第二天再说。
大家光顾着找阿稳，却忽略了月娥。

月娥果真出事了，第二天早上她被发现死在了房中，是吃老鼠药死的。
大家倍感疑惑，月娥也不至于因为被公公婆婆说了几句就去寻短见吧，但原因恐怕也只有月娥本人知道了。

故事讲到这里，看客一定迫不及待地想解开发生在阿稳身上的事。
让我们把画面切换到丈夫那里。
一个很大的疑问就是阿稳那晚离开后到底去了哪里，中途发生了什么？据后来阿稳自己叙述，事出突然……

阿稳离开月娥之后，隐蔽着摸向自己的村落，他没有朝着大路回去打探情况，因为怕被人发现。
他一路上拨开树丛和荆棘，身上好几处已被芒刺扎伤了，这时候天也很暗了。
突然，他前面出现了两把火光，像是手电筒的光，又有点像两束火把，而且朝他这边“飞”来了。
他当时震惊了，想不到还是被抓计生的找到这了。
情急之下，他第一个念头闪过就是往回跑，他疯狂的跑，不时回头瞥望，但是他发现始终没能甩开那两把火光，两把火光朝他身后一直追赶着来了。
此时他就像一只受伤的野兽一样，拼命地跑，不管前面是荆棘满布还是悬崖峭壁……

后来，阿稳在离村几十里外一个山头被人发现了。
被发现的时候，他已不成人样，满身伤痕、气喘吁吁、目光呆滞。
发现他的是俺们村上山砍木头的柴叔，柴叔当时看到蹲在草丛里饥肠辘辘的阿稳，着实惊呆了，好端端的一个人怎么成了这般摸样。
阿稳被柴叔撞见后像做了场噩梦刚被拉醒似的，精神恍惚，全身无力的瘫软在地。
当柴叔把他发生的大事告诉他的时候，阿稳已经说不出任何话了，连哭也没有。

柴叔顾不上砍木头了，忙扶着阿稳沿着自己开辟的山路向最近的自然村挪去。
巧的是这个自然村住着阿稳的一个亲戚，他应该叫表姑的远房亲戚。
当时表姑并不知道发生在阿稳身上的事情，只是好奇好久不来往的远房表侄今天怎么到这里来。
柴叔把怎么发现阿稳，阿稳家里死了人的事简单的叙述了下。
表姑也顾不上寒暄了，忙把两人请进厨房饭桌（厨房和会客厅大多是一体的）旁坐下，看到眼前这个落难表侄又累又饿的样子，已经顾不上倒茶水这些礼节了，她让他们俩先坐会，就进储藏间去了。
等她拿米粉面、鸡蛋出来打算做吃的时候，发现自己的表侄正在扒锅里的冷饭，狼吞虎咽。

故事大概讲到这里就快结束了，表姑让阿稳留在自己家里休息打理了片刻，便急忙领着他往家赶。
阿稳从“失踪”到被领回村已经是过了两三天的事情了，他的父母亲人正在准备给月娥出殡，被停放了这么些天，已经开始腐烂发臭了。
白发人送黑发人生离死别的场面令全村人都汗颜，哀嚎啼哭声不绝于耳，这些都是后话了。

随着时间的流逝，这件怪事便渐渐平息不再那么隐晦了，村里的老者们试着找阿稳问起这件事，阿稳也不再回避，道出了事情的经过，他也渐渐从痛苦的记忆中解脱了一些。
村里的老者们解释说阿稳遇到的肯定是相传中的鬼火，但只是传说，从未有人真正见过。
村里的“人”则反对说那是阿稳当时因为恐惧而产生的幻觉罢了，世上根本没有鬼火。
阿稳后来说，当时他在跑的时候，眼前渐渐出现一条平坦的大路，他就顺着这条路一直往前跑，却怎么也跑不到尽头，后来他真的实在太累了，就停下了……

据说村里人后来又谈起过月娥为什么会自杀的事，一个隔壁邻居的小女孩突然告诉大家那晚她在经过月娥房间的时候，透过窗户往里看，只有月娥阿姨一个人在房间，她却好像在和谁说话似的，真奇怪。
