民间鬼故事 - 砍柴的奇遇

这是上辈人口口相传的一个故事，真假无从考察！全当饭后谈资。

很早很早以前，有个孩子非常的老实，老实到别人欺负他了都不懂得还理。好象别人欺负他都是理所当然似的。常气得父母总骂他是个“软蛋，怂包”。

有次他拿着半截红薯站在屋檐下边啃边看外面的麻雀打架，邻居王家一跛脚小孩趁他父母不在，一摇一摆地走到他身边一把夺过就往自己嘴里塞，要知道这半截红薯在那个时期是他的一顿主粮。他就这样心甘情愿地饿着肚子看着王跛子，狼吞虎咽地嚼他的半截红薯不做任何反映。他回来也不向父母秉报。只说自己还饿着，他母亲说：“刚吃了一个大红薯，怎转身就饿了呢？”跑出去一看，只见隔壁王跛子拿着红薯在咽。气的他父母跺脚垂胸地说：“你怎这般无用，他是个跛脚子，看他过来你不知道走开吗？”可他竟说：“红薯又没拿去喂狗，跛脚子也是人啊！”父母怕他吃亏，后来干脆就不让他单独出门，整天跟在父母身边。父母常常望着他含着泪说：“我们不能关照们你一辈子，你这样懦弱将来如何在社会上立足？……”他总是笑笑不回答。

其实，有意的懦弱忍让是一种宽宏大度的气质。他长大后懦弱还配上了善良，视万物为生灵不轻易损害，有时连走路都小心翼翼生怕把蚂蚁踩死，父母总是呵斥他“你这样胆小怕事，将来哪有出息！”可他不以为然。本想让他去读书或学艺，见他如此胆小又懦弱，也就对他沒抱什么希望，整天就让他挑水砍柴，放牛下地干农活等。

有年夏天，因怕太阳晒，寅时父母就催促他起床去砍柴。他听到父母叫唤声就从床上蹦跳起来，夹起镰刀扁担眼睛蒙胧地向往日砍柴的地方走去。出门不远就转进山路，奇怪的是，进入山路后平时就是太阳当空路也是被两边的高大的树木覆盖的荫暗不清。而今天，太阳还没升起，路面却是清晰的连地上掉根头发都能看见。举头环顾，除路面外四周都是膝黑一团。好象这光是从自己身上放出的一样。他也不想这么多，只是想在太阳出来之前要把柴砍好就行。于是，勾着头看着路走啊走，越走身越轻，越走空气越清新，虽是盛夏酷暑，却象春暖花开一样，空气中不时传来清清淡淡的花香。闻着花香继续往山上走，转过几个弯，突然前面现出一凉亭，凉亭是青石块垒砌而成，四周爬满了金银花，由于一路上坡，此时脚有点酸软，不由自主地进到凉亭里想歇息一会。哪知，凉亭里有二个鹤发童颜的白胡须老头相对而坐在亭中央摆放着一个四方小石桌，桌上放着棋，各自屁股放在一个象腰鼓一样的石凳上对弈。他心甚觉奇怪，可这深山老林从未有人居住，这两位怎这么早是从哪里来到这儿的？但又不便问，只好在桌旁找个石头坐下，刚坐下屁股下石头就不见了，他只好用扁担和镰刀垫在屁股下。这时，桌上滑下一枚棋子滚到他身边，他赶急拾起小心地放到桌子上，哪知刚放下对面又有一颗棋子落下去，他只好又走过去捡起，就这样这边捡起那边落下，来来回回有数十次了。他觉得时间不早该去砍柴了，当用手去拿扁担和镰刀时，却已成灰。这时他大感不妙，以为自己碰上什么邪法了，心里空荡荡的不知如何是好。此时，有一白须老头说：“你不用回家，就在这帮我拾棋子吧！”他心想：不回家我在这吃什么。便说“我家没柴做饭，我要去拾点木柴回去。”另一老者问：“你平时都在这一带砍的柴吧？”他诚实地点了点头。

“这里的一草一木都是我俩栽种的，被你无偿地砍去，现要你帮我俩捡下棋子都不肯……”这可把他吓坏了，今天一定是碰着山神了，但定睛一看又不象是。平时听父母讲山神高大无比脚比参天大树还长还粗，一步能跨越一个山头。而这俩位与我们平常人一样没什么特别之处。再听说山神脸是横眉立目的凶狠恶相，不会这样慈祥温和。于是，胆大起来，双手作揖地“敢问二老家住何方？”一长者摇手一指，随指处对面半山腰有一绿树红花掩映着一小村，隐约可见青砖红瓦，楼台亭阁，还有小桥流水十分的富饶美丽，村庄上头一层轻雾如薄纱饶绕，如幻如梦似仙境一般。他惊讶地“哦！”了一声。可他心里仍想着家中的父母在焦急地等着他砍柴回家。便说：“现在还早，太阳沒升出来，我得拾点木柴回去！”

两老者微笑道：“不用砍了，你父母早已不在了！”

他气愤地说“呸！你们在胡说八道，”！

“不信你背那捆柴回去看下便知。”这时他才发现凉亭角落早有一捆木柴竖在那。他不管三七二十一，背起这捆柴急速下山去……

当他出了山，气喘吁吁地站在村口时傻呆了，一个陌生的大村庄，整齐的青砖瓦房，一排排整齐有序，村里鹅卵石铺成的道路，纵横交错。以前低矮的土墙竹壁和零星散落的茅草房不见了。以为自己走错了，可心想，不对呀，这一路下来并没其它叉路，只有一条路。回头一看，果然下山时的路和山都不见了，这下感到不妙，又不知往哪走才能找到自己的家。这时太阳升得老高，他也有点饥肠辘辘，正想找人询问这是什么地方时，村里跑出许多人象看怪物一样围住他远远站着不敢靠近地指指点点，议论不休：“看他身上衣服款式和布料好象一百多年前才有喂！”有人立马否定“看他年龄最多十八九岁”也有人不屑地说：“纯粹疯子一个”听人说他是疯子，心里非常委屈但又不知如何证明自己的身份，急得满脸通红。这时有一彪形大汉靠近问：“你家村子叫什么名，父母亲叫啥姓啥？当时邻居是谁？”他都一一回答，最后说：“隔壁的王跛子比我小四岁，常抢我的红薯吃”这时有人扶来一位90多岁长者说：“那王跛子是我的曾祖爷爷的爷爷，我是王跛子第五代孙裔……”

这真是：心善修得仙福缘，命轻固执福如无。
