坟头边的胖娃娃
1882
这是姥姥遇到的事情,大概那个时候有点长大了,她跟姥太太一起到田地里干农活,那时候好像是初夏,家家都在收麦子,大人们在割麦子,扎成捆,集中到田中央。
姥姥则带着最大的弟弟在田里捡麦穗,他们沿着麦田一直边走边低头捡。
忽然,姥姥听到一阵阵孩子们的笑声,顺着笑声传来的方向走过去,发现一棵大树下面竟有好多小娃娃在嬉戏打闹,那些娃娃们穿着红色的肚兜,一个个都白白胖胖,脚踝上还带着银铃铛,就像年画里的人物。
他们一个个笑着追逐着,还派手唱歌。
姥姥不由自主地走向那棵大树,站在边上看着他们玩,姥姥正迷糊着——怎么谁家的娃娃这么小就跟出来田里,大人怎么放心的呢,还穿这么少!
这时候一个戴草帽的农民伯伯(应该是村上的,认识姥姥)搬着一个大匾箩(用竹子做成,比较浅比较大的那种箩)经过,一边走还一边拍拍那个匾箩,估计他刚从晒麦场回来,匾箩上还沾着麦穗。
一眨眼,那些娃娃都不见了,姥姥惊奇得不得了的时候,那个戴草帽的农民伯伯喊她——“丫头,你走到这里来干什么?你弟弟在后头喊你呢!”姥姥这才回过神来。
问那个农民伯伯“这里哪里啊?”。
农民伯伯说“别问了,小孩子还是快走吧!”
长大一点才知道,原来这是个无主坟,不知道从什么时候开始就有了,因为没人来料理,杂草丛生。
坟在打麦场的北边,与农户的田地还有一段距离,所以都没动过它。
但是逢年过节,也有农民带点纸钱去烧烧,算是安慰这个无家的孤魂了。
姥姥回去跟姥太太说在孤坟遇到希奇事了,姥太太就追问有没有身体不舒服,见姥姥摇头才拍拍胸口说没事就好,第二天领着姥姥去无名坟烧了纸钱,也去那位农民伯伯拜谢,要不是他拿着大匾箩从那经过,那些娃娃们是不会吓走的,匾箩因为是盛粮食的,所以有避邪作用。
从那以后,姥太太叮嘱姥姥,因为她火光比常人低,经常遇到奇怪的人或者事,一定不要太害怕,因为这些东西只是可能有些未了的心愿,惦记着这阳世的某些人才上来的,一般不会害人。
只要人心善,则能保平安。
虽然这些故事看上去没有那么惊险跌宕,但是却真正从老一辈那里听来的,很!
