人脚獾(亲历)

人脚獾不属于鬼怪类，是属于类的动物，它的外形像狗，却长了四只像人脚的足。
它昼伏夜出，很少有人能见到它的踪迹。

老一辈人说：人脚獾会专吃闹夜的小孩，所以在我的童年（即80后的那一代童年），若是我闹夜时，母亲总是吓唬我：孩子，你再闹，人脚獾就会吃掉你。
这时我就会吓得赶紧躲进被窝里，不敢再作声。
我想我们80后的这一代年轻人的童年，也都是如同我一般在人脚獾的阴影下渡过的（注：它可能是一个区域性的概念，在其它的地方也许并没有人脚獾）。
然而在我五岁那年的一个晚上，我却与它不期而遇了。

现在我还清楚的记得那天晚上与它相遇的情景，那天晚上，月明星稀，我和几个童伴们玩过捉迷藏的，就各自分开回家了。
由于我的玩劲未退，就独身一人在村外的小路上多玩了一会。
可是就在我发觉天色太晚，要赶紧回家时，陡地从我前面的庄稼地里窜出一个像狗一样，却又长着四个足像人脚的动物，只见它在距我前面不远处，蹲下身体，瞪着血红的眼睛盯着我。
我见到它，顿时想到母亲那句人脚獾专爱吃掉小孩的话，就吓得浑身冷汗直淌，双腿也不听使唤般的要弯曲下来，奇怪的事，就在我双腿快要跪在地上时，它却惊恐的逃窜了。

事后，我向母亲提起这件事时，母亲说：人脚獾如同狗一般，也是惧怕人弯腰拾东西投它。
听到这里我才愰然大悟，原来我那不听使唤下跪的双腿，居然使得它误认为我要弯腰拾东西投它，才导致它落慌逃遁。
只是很邪门的事，现在的人再也见不到它的踪迹了。
