会跳舞的凉床
2058
我的太爷爷是个有点傻乎乎的人,他喜欢干别人不愿干或者怕干的事。
太爷爷生来不知什么就做怕,他做的最多的工作,就是给人家死去的亲人守尸。
有的亲人死去后,为了让最亲的人看上一眼,才能入棺,否则视为不孝。
守尸,本应是亲人干的事,因为流传着:如果天上的白鹤,地面上的白公鸡同时发出叫声,还有白猫跳到死者身上,如果三种动物凑和一起,死尸就会复活,起床不管抓住什么东西,绝不松手,就立即倒地再死一次,活人要想拿走死尸手中的东西,只有砍掉死者的手。
因此,有些家境比较好,亲人又怕守夜,只好出钱请人。
我的太爷爷并不是胆子大,而是不知道什么叫做怕。
人为了他的安全,特请铁匠师傅打了一把大刀,作为防身之用,说是复活,起来抓人,就将大刀扔向死尸,好让死尸抱住大刀,死尸就不会去抱人了。
有一次,离我家不远的一单门独户的孤寡老人死了,他的女儿嫁给了外地,一时无法回家,晚上看守死尸的活,家族负责人就将看守死尸的重任交给了我的太爷爷。
天黑之前,太爷爷手拿大刀走进死人的家门,帮忙的人见我的太爷爷来了,有一人问道:“晚上。
你一个人守夜怕吗?”
“有什么可怕的?死尸和鬼怕我我手中的大刀。
你们放心地回家去吧。
”
深夜来临了。
太爷爷就睡在死者的房门口的凉床上,脚朝着房门口,大刀就放在身边的凳子上。
不一会儿,三间屋子里的灯一下子全灭了,随着一阵阴冷的风吹到太爷爷的身上,随后感觉有许多人进屋了,就是听不见开门声,太爷爷知道那不是人。
太爷爷拿起刀朝板凳上狠狠地拍了几下,说:“你们别来捣乱,我的手里有刀。
不信的话,来试试我手中的刀。
”
霎时间,屋内没有说话声,太爷爷心里说:鬼怕刀,于是将灯点着,谁知灯亮了一会儿,突然熄灭了,放死尸的房间里又有说话声。
太爷爷又将大刀在凳子上狠狠地一边拍打,一边警告说:“讨钱来得太早了,做斋的道士没有来,没有人烧钱给你们,快走吧,别再这儿胡闹。
”
拍刀的声音一停,里屋的说话声又响起来了,随后凉床的一头翘起来了,“啪!”的一声放下了。
太爷爷只得将大刀不停地往凳子上拍打,凉床才不会翘起来,
太爷爷为了不让凉床翘起来,只有将手中的大刀使劲在凳子上拍打,谁知那些鬼也太大胆了,故意与我的太爷爷过不去,太爷爷在自己放脚边边拍打,头枕的这头凉床就翘起来了,又得用大刀换个地方拍打,只要是大刀拍打的这头,凉床就放下去了,如此交换拍打,弄得太爷爷无法招架。
拍打了一会儿,太爷爷手中的大刀不知咋的掉到了地上,当太爷爷要起身捡起大刀时,凉床突然一下子升起来了,开始时凉床在空中是一上一下跳动,接着凉床在空中转动。
这时太爷爷睡在凉床上,就像是在跳舞。
太爷爷这一次发脾气了,十分生气地说:“你们闹得有点过火,快将凉床放下来,让我下地捡起大刀,我要回家睡觉。
如果让你们这样闹下去,今天晚上,我睡不着觉,明天就不能干活了。
待我回家,你们想咋闹就咋闹,不管我的事。
”
太爷爷见自己的话不起一点作用,感觉到自己躺在凉床上,时而头朝上、头朝下,时而一上一下跳动,或是左右摆动,弄得太爷爷快晕了,吼道:“你们再不放下凉床,我要咬破右手中指,用流出的鲜血洒在你们的脸上,让你们都变成鬼不是鬼,人不是人东西,给我干活,那你们没有自由了不说,要累死你们。
”
太爷爷这招真灵,凉床放下来了。
他抹黑捡起了掉在地上的大刀,摸着黑回家睡觉。
第二天一大早,太爷爷就起床去看尸首是否还在,当他走进屋,来到停放尸首的房间,瞧见尸首仍在床上,这才放心。
当主事人领着前来帮忙的人进屋后,太爷爷才放心的回家,临走时说了一句:“昨晚闹得我一晚无法睡,我发誓:从今以后,我再不给他人守尸了。
”
从那以后,太爷爷真的没有给他人守夜看尸首了。
Introduce:My too the grandfather is a bit foolish person, he likes to do others not to wish to work or fear dry thing.
Too what doesn't the grandfather know to be done natively be afraid of, the most work that he does, defend cadaver to the family's gone family member namely.
