人面树
2980
住在的伯父去世了,我和父亲开车回去参加葬礼。
我也在那个村子里出生,后来就搬到了城里,自此以后再没有回去过。
所以我没有一点关于村子的记忆。
天色暗了起来,不久就全黑了。
我按照父亲的指引开回了村子,刚进村的一条小路两旁整齐地生长着两排大树,奇怪的是,每棵大树的枝叶树冠的生长位置好像有些别扭,那种不协调感在路灯的照射下尤为明显。
我放慢车速仔细一看,竟然像个人的脸。
父亲注意到我诧异的神情,说:“发现了吧?你不在这里长大,所以不知道,村子每当有人死去,路旁就会多一棵树,长着死去的那个人脸的形状,就像是天然的墓碑。
”
“你看。
”父亲指着小路尽头的一棵树说,“那就是你伯父。
”
我透过车窗望去,果然那棵树长着和伯父一样的脸。
我打了个寒颤,加速离开了小路,驶往伯父的家。
第二天一早,我们和伯父的家人还有一些村民把伯父的遗体埋葬。
看着他们走的方向,我有点不祥的预感。
果然大家把伯父的遗体埋在了长着他的脸的那棵树下。
所有人都那么理所当然。
父亲说这是村子里的风俗,这样死去的人就可以借助大树的生命力继续存活。
伯父还有些身后事需要处理,父亲要多留一段时间,我还有工作在身,就先行回家了。
回去的时候,我好像感觉大树,不,应该说死去的那些人真的还活着。
因为树上的人脸和眼珠个个随着我的离开而移动,就像是为我送行一样。
临出村子的时候,好像又多了一棵树,上面的脸还没有成型,但我感觉那是父亲的脸。
没过几天,村子发来消息,父亲突然心脏病发作去世。
我连忙赶往村子,婶婶说父亲在弄伯父灵位的时候突然倒下了。
我突然觉得并不是村里的人后才长出人面树,而是人面树吸取了村民的生命。
我坚决要接收父亲的遗体回城里,而且一刻也不想呆在那个怪异的村子里,当晚就驾车回程。
离开村子的一刻,路旁又多了棵树,树上长着的,分明是我的脸。
接下来,我听见一声刺耳的货车鸣笛声。
Introduce:The uncle that lives in the country died, I and father drive go back attend funeral.
I also am born in that village, move in the city later, henceforth had not gone back again.
So I do not have a bit memory about the village.
Colour of sky became dark rise, before long completely black.
I according to father show draw away answered a village, an alley either side that just took a village is growing trimly two large trees, strange is, the growth of the crown of a tree of branches and leaves of every large tree the position is like some at odds, the sort of not harmonious feeling falls in the illuminate of street lamp particularly apparent.
I put slow speed to look carefully, resemble the individual's face actually.
Father notices the expression that I am surprised, say: "Discovered? You are not brought up here, do not know so, village every time somebody is gone, wayside meet many cultivate, growing the appearance of gone that individual face, resembling is natural gravestone.

I was hit cold quiver, left lane quickly, sail the home toward the uncle.
The following day early in the morning, the family of we and uncle still has a few villagers to bury the uncle's remains.
Look at the way that they take, I have a dot to premonition bodefully.
As expected below that tree that everybody buries the uncle's remains in the face that growing him.
Everybody so of course.
Father says this is the custom in the village, so gone person is OK the vitality that have the aid of cultivates greatly continues to survive.
After the uncle returns some bodies, the thing needs to handle, father should take period of time more, I still have the job to be in personally, came home with respect to go ahead of the rest.
When going back, I seem to feel large tree, not, should say those gone people are living still really.
Because cultivate the person face that go up and eyeball to each leaves as mine and move, resembling is to be me give a send-off party is same.
When facing a village, seem much a tree, the face above has not shaped, but the face that I feel to that is father.
Had done not have a few days, the village sends a message, father is abrupt the heart attack dies.
I am driven toward the village at once, aunty says father is doing uncle spirit when toppled suddenly.
I feel suddenly and long range giving a person establishs the ability after the person that is not the village, however the life that person face tree absorbed the villager.
The remains that I want to receive father stoutly answers a city in, and also do not want to stay in that barpque village momently, drive that evening return trip.
Leave a village momently, wayside much a tree, growing on the tree, it is my face clearly.
