鬼门汪

到汪家坞要过摆渡。

渡船上有人骂骂咧咧地说，陈家铺的人现在商品经济了，不像我们鬼门汪的讲良心，炸油条都比人家长一截。

鬼门汪？我有点怀疑自己的耳朵，有谁把名姓和鬼凑到一块，高喉咙高嗓子的。

有人接话说，你讲良心？是陈家的米糕喂大了你的祖宗。

渡船老板说，哪天不提汪家陈家的屁事？耳屎都听满了。

又有人说，没有这屁事，你来回拉空气。

运河快入江的一段，穿过邵伯湖，陈家铺与汪家坞隔湖相望。
渡船离了陈家铺摇到湖心，带上了流，渡老板收了橹推着舵，顺水往东南岸去。

汪家坞野鸭场场长勒着我的手说，免贵，免贵，鬼门汪。
他见我满脸诧异说，这一片汪是大姓，我这枝叫鬼门汪。
他见我仍然满脸诧异说，来人都要问的，中午餐厅讲给你听。

他也不知道是哪年哪代，说有个女人嫁到汪家坞。
不是一家人不进一家门，女人忠厚耿直，卖个东西都翘着砣。

湖西的陈家铺，陆路上扬州。
湖东的汪家坞，河湖港汊……我说，这我知道。

他说，你别急嘛，就因为汪家坞交通不便，女人难产上扬州找医生，死在陈家铺。
孩子倒是活了，是个男孩，就是咱鬼门汪的老祖宗。

他抓起酒瓶敬酒。
我说，没有啦？还有米糕的事呢？他说，你知道啊？不靠谱的。

我告诉他渡船上听到的话。
他说，咱俩喝一大口，我往下讲－－

孩子没有奶水，鱼汤也不喝，藕粉汤也不喝，饿得天天哭闹，瘦得快死了。

这一天，灶台上绳子扎了两袋米糕，家人拿了它去喂孩子。
孩子一口口抿，眼睛都放了光。
此后隔三差五，米糕从没断过顿。

孩子壮实了，汪家才想起找恩人。
说，这人来无影去无踪的，是谁啊？

家人就不下湖不下地在家守着。
不听门响栓动的，米糕在眼皮低下就放在灶台上。

家人看装米糕的纸袋，上面戳着“陈记糕点”，就过湖到陈家铺去访。

“陈家糕记”的老板听了话说，我也纳闷哩，三更半夜的，女人掩着个脸敲门买米糕，总以为她养了个私儿子。
他突然惊呼道，明白了，明白了。

老板告诉汪家人，每月盘帐，银箱里都倒出纸灰。

汪家人觉得受到天大羞辱，说咱汪家做人堂正，做鬼也不能贪孬。
发了话，要掘女人的坟，当面问个究竟。
鬼故事：

开坟的那一天，糕店老板一清早渡了湖过来。
他说，别动手，别动手。
女人托了梦给我说，她不晓得阴间的钱阳间不好使，说来世做牛做马还我的钱。

从这天起，糕店老板都托渡船送米糕过来。
男孩长到人高马大，娶糕店老板的女儿做了媳妇。

传宗接代，传宗接代，就是咱鬼门汪。
汪场长说，明白吗？明白吗？就是咱鬼门汪！是真的！是真的！隔了河还有鬼妈妈坟，我带你去，马上就带你去。

他酒喝多了，没有带我去。
但我隔河看见对面的垛上有一片坟茔，一定是葬着鬼门汪一代代护佑儿女的母亲和父亲们。
