儿子的手指

佟老二原本叫佟志豪,挺刚气的一个名字,可惜这个名字却几乎没什么人知道了,大家都当面叫他佟老二,背后叫他窝囊废。
佟老二的确窝囊。
自从他领着儿子入赘到庥寡妇家,他的脊梁骨就变软了,软到不足以为自己和儿子撑起一片天来。
每天他就像一只狗一样被庥寡妇呼来喝去,更苦了他才八岁的儿子小虎。
上学是不可能的,小虎的任务就是每天上山去放麻寡妇的那几十只羊。
在山深草密的地方,羊儿总能吃得饱饱的,而虎子仍然饿着肚子。
如果只是放羊,只是吃不饱,虎子都会认为自己很幸福,但是回家之后还有又多又重的活计等着他。
做得好了,他会受到后娘的白眼,做得不好,就是一顿暴打。
每次虎子挨打的时候,佟老二就背匕粪筐,垂着头默默地走出家门。
不知道他的眼睛有没有看见儿子求救的目光,耳朵有没有听见儿子撕心裂怖的哭喊。
他不敢看不敢听,唯一听见的就是麻寡妇一次次指着他的脊梁骨恶狠狠地咒骂:“你们这两个挨千刀的饿死鬼,整天就知道吃老娘的肉喝老娘的血,等哪天老娘气极了,把你这小饿死鬼剁了熬汤喝!”
佟老二想,不管怎么样,自己爷俩在麻寡妇这受点气,好歹也有个活路,要是离了她,自己拿什么养活儿子,拿什么买那天的二两烧酒。

终于有一灭,虎子失踪了。
清早虎子像往常一样赶着羊群上了山,到了晚匕,羊群自己回来了,虎子却没回来。
麻寡妇发着横在院子里破口大骂:“要是丢了老娘的羊,死了也把你剁了熬汤……”
夜已经黑透了,麻寡妇骂累了,躺在炕上把呼噜打得山响。
睡不着的佟老二悄悄爬了起来,他还没忘自己是个爹,他还知道该去找找自己可怜的孩子。
佟老二找了一夜,越找心越凉。
虎子真的不见了!佟老二的心揪紧了,他已窝囊到麻木的感知慢慢苏醒过来。
他开始后悔,如果不是他窝窝囊囊的没有给儿子一点保护,儿子就不会每天挨打受累,不会总吃不饱饿得像一只瘦狗……也才突然想起来,虎子已经有多久没喊过自己一声爸了。
是啊!自己哪还配做一个爸爸,是自己让儿子小小的心失望乃至绝望了啊!
那一夜,在凄冷的夜里,佟老二的嚎哭惊醒了沉睡的旷野。
天亮了,佟老二失魂落魄地回家了。
当他刚刚恢复一点的骨气被一场人哭泄去之后,麻寡妇凶蛮的脸又让他的脊梁快速地软了下去。
他怕她,怕到骨子里。
很难得,麻寡妇居然没有刁难他对虎字一夜的寻找,反而早起熬了肉汤等着他回来。
佟老二哪里有心思吃饭,但肉汤已经熬了,他不敢不坐在桌子前面。
麻寡妇居然还亲自盛了一勺汤放进佟老二的碗里。
浓浓的汤汁散发出诱人的香气,佟老二拿起筷子搅了搅汤碗,一小块白白的肉浮了上来。
佟老二看得分明,那是一根手指,小孩的手指!
佟老二一下子僵住了,他的身子开始颤抖,他的眼睛开始允血,终于,他发疯一样叫了起来。
老娘把你剁了熬汤!老娘把你剁了熬汤!麻寡妇恶毒的咒骂像劈雷一样炸响在他的脑子里。
麻寡妇傻傻地看着他叫,傻傻地看着他站起来走进厨房,又傻傻地看着他拎着菜刀出来,都还没明白怎么回事,就做了刀下鬼。

佟老二给小虎子起了一个小小的坟茔,埋下了他小小的手指。
然后把剁碎的庥寡妇熬成一锅浓浓的汤端到坟前。
“虎子,是爸对不起你,爸让你活着受罪,死了还让那婆娘熬成汤,是爸对不起你啊!你活着的时候没吃过一顿饱饭,今天爸也把那坏婆娘熬了汤给你吃,你吃吧,吃得饱饱的。
吃了,你就再也不会饿了……”
佟老二痴痴傻傻地诉说着。
忽然,一个小小的声音说:“爸,我们一起吃。
”
佟老二哆嗦了一下子,就见坟后转出一个小小的人来,正是失踪了的虎了!
佟老二眼窝一热,哪里还去想是人是鬼,一把抱住儿子放声大哭:“虎了!你回来看爸了啊?”
“爸,丢了一只羊,我躲在山里不敢回家,二妈会打死我的。
我几天没吃饭了,爸,我饿。
”
虎了的眼睛看着那罐了里的肉汤,放出了让佟老二心寒的绿光。
佟老二猛然想起了什么,他一把抓住儿了的手:小虎了的手脏兮兮的,但手指一根也不少!
佟老二怿叫一声扑到新起的坟上,疯狂地用手扒土,直扒得双手鲜血泥泞。
他扒出来了,一个小小的布袋,里面装着的,就是那肉汤里捞出来的“儿子的手指”。
佟老二哆嗦着打开布袋,一截小小的藕掉了出来。
