卖鬼盐
1728
爷爷自从遇到影子鬼后,再也不敢走那条长着荒草的小路了,他改走另一条通向集市的远路,走这条远路至少比原先的那条路远七八里地,由于要走远路,这一次爷爷比往常都要起得早。
那时爷爷还没有闹钟,按时间算也就是两点半,可是天气却不好,月亮早早地钻进云彩里歇息了,屋外黑咕窿咚的,什么都看不见,爷爷壮了壮胆,就拿着手电筒照路,走向那条远路,朝集市的方向赶去。
当时路上寂静无声,他朝前大约走了半个时辰的路,突然他听到身后有沙沙的脚步声,好像是谁尾随着他,回头看时却又什么也没有。
他以为是遇到了撵脚鬼,吓得向前飞奔,可是很奇怪的是,无论他奔得多快,那声音总是紧紧相随,他快那个沙沙的脚步声也跟者快,他停那个沙沙的脚步声也跟着停,爷爷不敢停很久,还是接着跑,跑着跑着,爷爷又听到从身后面一阵苍老的声音传来:“小伙子等等……”爷爷转过身,用手电筒朝那说话的方向照去,这时他看到一个驼背老头正朝他招手,他就停下脚步,放下盐筐子,微笑着问那驼背老头:“大爷,有事么?”那驼背老头说要买爷爷的盐,也不和爷爷讲价钱,一下子把爷爷挑的两筐子盐全买了。
爷爷在从那个驼背老头手里接过一叠花花绿绿的钞票时,感觉到他的手冰凉得没有一点温度,爷爷光顾得高兴了,也没有往这方面多想。
爷爷辞别那个驼背老头后,就高兴得一个劲地跑回了家里,到家里后天还不亮,奶奶就非常惊讶地问爷爷怎么回得这么早?爷爷就把他在路上遇到驼背老头买盐的经过向奶奶说了一遍,说完后,爷爷就从怀里掏出钱布袋打开让奶奶看,可是里面装的不再是花花绿绿的钞票,而是黑乎乎的纸灰,这时爷爷又想起那个驼背老头的手非常冰凉,才知道他是个鬼。
爷爷又赶快原路返回,看能不能找回那两筐子盐。
这时天已经亮了,他赶到遇见驼背老头的那段路上时,便看见路旁边有一座坟,在坟前面正放着他的两筐子盐,爷爷就把盛满纸灰的钱布袋朝坟前一抖落说:“大爷,你的钱,你拿走吧,我要挑走我的盐,去赶个早集,不能这样就亏了。
”说完后,爷爷就挑起那两筐子盐,去赶早集了。
