半下午,顾兰时背着一筐猪草,还没进家门就听见院里狗崽在嚎,不知和谁学的,仰起小脑袋狼叫,只是声音实在稚嫩。他笑着跨进院门,打断了二黑呜呜长鸣,小狗崽摇着尾巴迎上来,欢快极了。“娘?”前头没人,院门又开着,他朝堂屋里喊,听见苗秋莲在后院答应了一声。他背着竹筐往后院走,看样子竹哥儿和狗儿还没回来,二黑小跑着跟上了他脚步。苗秋莲蹲在鸡圈前剁几片烂菜叶子,扔进搅拌好的一盆谷糠麦麸中,听见动静回头看一眼,又端着食盆起身,走进鸡圈倒在长槽里,一群大鸡小鸡飞快围过来吃食。顾兰时将竹筐放在地上,揉了揉肩膀问道:“我爹呢?”“你爹砍柴去了,刚下过雨,地里全是湿泥,想着没啥事,就上山去了。”苗秋莲把食盆靠在篱笆上,把鸡圈门关好,又去喂旁边的鸭子和大鹅,问道:“狗儿和竹哥儿还没回来?”“没,刚进门时也没看见路上有人。”顾兰时拎起竹筐往猪圈那边走,还没到跟前就听见老猪急得哼哼叫。喂完牲口,惦记着前头没人,苗秋莲就没让顾兰时铲粪扫地,自己拿了铁锨忙碌。顾兰时带着二黑回到前院,也是时候做晚饭了,他挖了棵大叶菜,挎掉几片老叶子,见狗崽子一直闻地上的老菜叶,于是给它掰了一片脆嫩的,果然就见二黑不挑,两个毛绒绒的小前爪按住菜叶,直接上嘴啃。他看得心喜,伸手揉了揉二黑小脑袋,狗崽儿没有护食,十分乖巧。饭还没做好,顾兰时往灶底添了一把柴火,刚起身就听到竹哥儿和狗儿的声音,他拍拍手上木头渣子走出来,站在院里问道:“回来了?”狗儿正在院门口和人说话,竹哥儿回头说道:“叶婶儿问有没有看见兴旺叔。”闻言,顾兰时走到门口来看。叶金蓉正在和隔壁刘桂花念叨:“早起就上山了,只说捡菌子,没带干粮,让晌午下碗白面条子等他回来吃,我这等了又等,面早都坨了,就是不见人,胜子上山砍柴去了,虎子我又不放心让他一个人去,只能等他哥哥回来,这不,先过来打听打听,有没有见着人。”顾家和刘家住在村后,村里人要是走大路上山下山,都要经过他们几家门口。狗儿开口道:“早起在山上捡地皮菜时,倒是碰见兴旺叔了,打个照面又分开了。”叶金蓉原本急切地看过来,一听这话再次叹口气,忧心忡忡说:“早上碰见他的还有几个人,我都问过了,后来再没人见过他。”刘桂花原本跟着她叹气,抬头看一眼天色,忽然一拍大腿,着急道:“趁眼下天亮着,还不快找到胜子,赶紧寻他爹去,瞎耽搁什么?”天一黑山路不好走,也恐怕夜里有豺狼出现,叶金蓉一下子回过神,连忙答应,脚步匆匆往山坡上去了。苗秋莲扫干净后院出来,见他兄弟三人站在院门前,喊道:“兰时,做什么呢?”几人转身走进来,顾兰时说:“叶婶儿说兴旺叔早起上山一直没回来,打听话呢。”苗秋莲立刻问道:“还说什么了?”虽然没多少往来,但一个村子的,好歹有些情分在。顾兰时接过竹哥儿手里的竹篮,另一手抓着灶房屋檐下的挂钩将篮子挂上去,说道:“我和狗儿早起在山上见着兴旺叔了,问了声,他就走了,再没见过,叶婶儿这不赶紧上山找胜子,让他带着虎子去找兴旺叔。”苗秋莲应了两声,舀了几瓢水洗手,蹲下又往院门口看,说:“没见着你爹?”“没,我爹砍柴在前山,又不往里边去,估计等会儿就回来了。”顾兰时安慰她两句,见灶火太旺锅边冒了白汽,连忙进去将柴火改小。时至傍晚,顾铁山挑了一担柴回来,一家子吃过饭后,惦记着裴家事,苗秋莲在院门口和隔壁刘桂花说了几句闲话,两人不时往山坡那边看一眼,这会子该下山的早就下了山,看不见一个人,于是她俩嘴里念叨着可能吃饭时裴胜就找到裴兴旺回家去了。话音还没落,刘桂花眼尖,先看见远处山坡后边上来个人影,着急忙慌扯了扯苗秋莲衣袖:“他婶子,那是有个人?”苗秋莲看过去,哎呦一声,道:“可不是,瞧着个头不高,敢是虎子吧,他哥胜子比他高些。”那年轻汉子气喘吁吁跑近了些,果然是裴虎子,看见村里有人,他忙的大喊:“婶儿!我叔在家吗?”苗秋莲和刘桂花忙不迭答应:“在在!”裴虎子实在跑不动了,停下缓了一口气又喊:“我爹摔下山了,我大哥一个人背不动,找几个
叔叔伯伯帮忙。”不光她俩,村后几家人听到动静,纷纷出门来看,苗秋莲和刘桂花都把自家汉子喊了出来,顾铁山和石头他爹周平听了这话,便同其他几个汉子一起先点灯笼燃火把,等裴虎子喊了他们本家叔伯来之后,十一二个汉子不是别了柴刀就是拿了镰,还牵了几条大狗,一同往山上救人去了。太阳一落山,天黑得很快,因顾铁山不在,苗秋莲带着三个孩子点上油灯等,不时出门看看。顾兰时在泥炉上烧了一罐子水,秋夜山林里冷,回来时喝碗热茶能暖暖身子。“娘。”顾兰生和顾兰河听见消息,都来了老家询问。比起年幼的狗儿,大儿子二儿子一来,苗秋莲稍稍松了口气,家里有健壮的汉子在,总能安稳些。顾兰生让老娘和三个年龄小的弟弟去睡,有他和顾兰河在,村后这几家出了人的也都没睡,大伙儿时不时在院门口说两句话,一直到半夜,总算有人先跑回来传信,裴兴旺找到了,摔得晕过去,一群人正抬了下山,有狗在,没碰见山里的东西。苗秋莲压根就没睡,听见消息又披了衣裳坐起来,顾兰时三人也是如此,哪里睡得着觉,连二黑都觉察出家里的氛围不对,竖着小耳朵到处走动,小眼神十分警觉。又过了半个时辰,狗叫声远远一响起,在门口等的一群人连忙往山坡那边赶,除了裴兴旺以外,其他人都没事,叶金蓉看见昏迷不醒脸上还有血的裴兴旺,一嗓子就哭了出来,被几个妇人夫郎搀住往家里送。顾兰时靸了鞋出来,见二黑汪汪叫着要往门外冲,他一把捞起狗崽子抱住,天黑,外面人又多,它这么小一点,很容易被踩到。“爹。”还没出去顾铁山就从外面进来了,他赶忙倒了杯热茶,又端一叠米糕出来,上山这么久,走也走乏走饿了。一夜疲乏混乱就这么过去,等第二天一大早,顾兰时在院里和竹哥儿铺旧草席,趁今天太阳不错多晒些菜干,还有昨天的地皮菜,两人正忙碌,苗秋莲从外边回来,说裴家请了大夫,一碗药下去裴兴旺都睁眼了,应该没甚大碍,撞到头虽然流血,却没伤到要紧处。苗秋莲蹲在草席前用手把地皮菜铺平,又说道:“也不知哪个嘴碎的起了头,才刚我去老宅跟你阿奶说了几句话,出门就听见几个老婆子提起裴厌,说什么天煞孤星的威力也太大了,没住在一起都克了裴兴旺,日后若再久待,恐怕连村里人都要被克。”她满脸嫌弃,说着说着就骂道:“这几个老不死的,成天见就知道编排别人,还怕克死他几个,也不看自己是个什么嘴脸。下过雨山上湿滑,脚下不留神摔了又不是罕见事,早些年我和你爹上山,谁没摔过几次,裴兴旺自己运气不好撞到了头,八竿子打不着的事,就给人家裴厌身上安罪名。”下过雨山上菌子才多,秋日时节村里人便总是下过雨才上山,脚下没走稳滑倒是常有的事,况且那几个老妇老夫郎里边,正有上次嚼顾兰时舌根的赵家老夫郎和李老太太,苗秋莲没找这两人麻烦,但心里记着呢。“满村就数这些闲话传得多,你俩在外头听见别跟那些混账人说这个,当没听见。”铺好地皮菜她起身,嫌恶道:“哪有乱说这种连边都沾不到的闲话的,真是奇了。”“知道了娘。”顾兰时随口答应,手上还忙着切葫芦条子。除了裴家乱哄哄的,村里多数人都在过自家日子,闲话对他们来说只不过是平淡生活的乐子,说两句也无妨。而叶金蓉向来对裴厌不喜,听见一些风言风语便也将倒霉事往裴厌头上栽,有事没事有人没人都要骂两句裴厌天杀的克星,生下来就是讨债的。等到第三天,虚弱的裴兴旺能说话了以后,她这份怨气就变成了怒不可遏,原来裴兴旺踩中湿泥滑倒,摔进小山沟之后,竟碰到裴厌路过。他当时撞到头流了不少血,眼前直发黑没法儿爬起来,好容易等到了一个人,以为有救了,却是裴厌。虽然厌恶这个儿子,甚至将对方赶出了家门,危急关头,裴兴旺服了软,让裴厌把他这个爹扶起来,试图用“爹”这个字眼让裴厌顺从,结果裴厌蹲在山沟子上面看了他好一会儿,眼睛黑的跟讨命鬼一样,直盯得他浑身不自在,头上流血又多,渐渐就没了意识,昏过去之前只看到裴厌起身走了。
