乡村怪谈之香杏

岳各庄有个老大爷，姓崔。崔大爷留长头发，遮半边脸，还真有些道骨仙风，大家有什么事情，都喜欢找崔大爷商量。

这天，邻村的小媳妇阿翠抱着孩子去岳各庄走亲戚，路过村西坟地时，怀里的孩子睁开眼睛，像是看到了什么，撇了撇嘴，爆发出响亮的啼哭声。

阿翠心里害怕，撒腿就跑，跑进岳各庄后，孩子依然哭个不停。亲戚见状，就说遇见香杏了，让她找崔大爷。

崔大爷来后，仔细端详着孩子：脸蛋儿胖乎乎的，两眉之间有颗痣，很招人喜欢。崔大爷点了一炷香，嘴里不知道念叨些什么，也神了，香没烧尽，孩子不哭了。

阿翠以前听说过闹鬼的事儿，可是从没亲眼见过，这次开了眼界，忍不住产生好奇心，问崔大爷，为什么亲戚说是遇见“香杏”了？

崔大爷手持烟袋，半眯眼睛，好久好久，才说：“我给你们讲个故事吧。”

抗日战争时期，白马山成了八路军的伤员基地，几乎每天都有伤员送来。岳各庄大部分年轻力壮的男人都参加八路军了，女人则帮着军医和卫生员照顾伤员。

岳各庄有个挺着大肚子的年轻女人，名叫香杏，她的男人大猛是岳各庄数得上的汉子，种田好把式，打猎枪法准，而且力大无比，能举起一盘石磨。大猛和香杏成亲才七天就戴上红花参加八路去了。有人问：“香杏，你想大猛不？”香杏就笑着回答：“想啥，参军打鬼子光荣哩！”笑完就背过脸去，人们知道香杏哭了，那是舍不得大猛，想大猛哩。

大猛这一去，没了音讯。孩子出生了，香杏当了娘。孩子生得特别水灵，两眉之间有颗痣，孩子名叫“盼头儿”，这意思是盼大猛打败鬼子早日回家团圆。可是谁也没想到，盼头儿刚落地没几天，却盼来个坏消息，大猛牺牲了。

香杏两只眼睛哭得像烂桃一样。大家劝她：“别太伤心，哭过劲了，奶水能憋回去，盼头儿就要挨饿了。”

香杏一听，怕盼头儿饿肚子，就真的忍住不哭了。她把盼头儿抱在怀里喂奶，满是泪水的脸上呈现出一丝微笑，看得人鼻子直酸。

从那时起，香杏抱着孩子就是不肯撒手，直到有一个昏迷不醒的小八路被抬到白马山上。

小八路也就十几岁年纪，一颗子弹从颧骨穿进去，从耳朵后头穿出来，满脸血痂，肿得像一颗老窝瓜，躺在担架上和死人没什么两样。军医检查小八路伤势后摇了摇头，说：“伤势太严重，没救了。”

当时香杏就在旁边，听了军医这话，突然像中了邪一样。她一句话也不说，把怀里盼头儿放在担架旁，解开衣襟，露出饱满的乳房，把乳头塞进小八路干裂起皮的嘴里。过了一会儿，小八路的嘴唇开始微微蠕动。香杏轻轻对小八路说：“吃吧，吃吧。”小八路的嘴唇真的轻轻吮吸起来，嘴唇上干硬翘起的皮划痛了她，笑容却浮现在她的脸上。

后来人们常常能够看到香杏像喂盼头儿一样喂小八路，而盼头儿也真乖，躺在旁边地上不哭不闹。那时候，是紫地丁开花的时节。香杏和其他女人一样，把紫地丁一株株挖出洗净晾干再捣烂，敷在伤员的伤口上。紫地丁能够消炎消肿，和珍贵的西药一样有效。

小八路吃得一天比一天多，香杏的奶水却一天比一天少。喂完小八路再喂盼头儿，每次盼头儿都把乳头吸得生疼，还是吸不出奶水。盼头儿被饿得瘦了一大圈。

小八路终于能够睁开眼睛。当他知道是香杏的奶水把自己救活的时候，泪水无声地流下来。军医握着小八路的手，布满血丝的眼睛也流出泪水。他转过身对香杏说：“俺代表八路军感谢你，这真是个了不起的奇迹！”香杏笑了，怀里的盼头儿也笑了。

香杏挖紫地丁的时候，就把盼头儿吊在背上，盼头儿喜欢小八路，一看见小八路，就咯咯笑起来。那天，香杏又去挖紫地丁，不知不觉走出了很远，已经到了山脚下。她又看到不远处有一大片紫花，高兴地走过去挖起来。

这时，有两个小日本鬼子端着枪，猫着腰走过来，翻毛皮鞋踩在石子路上，吱吱作响。香杏挖紫地丁太入迷了，没听見，更没看见小日本鬼子。盼头儿却看到了，在香杏背上大哭起来，小胳膊小腿不停地动弹。香杏以为盼头儿累了，嘴上说：“小盼头，大乖宝，娘挖药，救叔叔，打鬼子，报爹仇！”

以前香杏这么一说，盼头儿真的不哭也不闹了。可是这次却不管用，盼头儿的哭声和动弹劲儿更大了。香杏一扭脸，看到一个小鬼子张开两只爪子向自己扑来，吓得她拔腿就跑，还没迈开步，另一个小鬼子一刺刀把盼头儿从香杏背上挑了起来。当时香杏就疯了，撕心裂肺地喊了一嗓子：“盼头儿！”

小八路在山里隐隐约约听到喊声，他摸下山来，只发现了香杏和盼头儿血肉模糊的尸体。小八路的眼睛瞬间变得通红，牙齿咬出“咔吧、咔吧”的声音，挥拳头砸在树干上，骂道：“小日本鬼子，俺日你八辈祖宗！”

人们把香杏和盼头儿埋在了岳各庄村西的坟地，紧挨着大猛的衣冠冢。从香杏和盼头儿下葬之后的每天夜里，小八路都能听到白马山山谷里回荡着香杏的喊声：“盼头儿！”小八路问其他人，也都听到了。小八路眼里噙着泪，其他人也是。

几天后的一个深夜，香杏的喊声在寂静的山谷中回荡，更加悲凄。小八路背着大刀下了白马山，香杏的喊声也跟着小八路下了山。

有个小日本鬼子守在岳各庄村口，小八路挥刀砍在他脖子上，鬼子脑袋像掰开的老黄瓜一样齐齐翻掉，一腔子血喷出一房多高。

然后小八路闯进岳各庄，见鬼子就砍。说来也真奇怪，尽管天色黑暗，借着灯光也能看出些人影吧？可小日本鬼子愣是看不见小八路，干等着被刀砍，这八成是香杏显灵了。鬼子全吓坏了，跪在地上、趴在炕上一动不敢动，连日本小队长也像赖皮狗一样趴在地上。小八路像切萝卜一样，一刀一个，杀光了三十六个小日本鬼子。最后，大刀卷了刃，小八路累得两只胳膊也垂了下来，香杏凄惨的喊声这才停下来。

从那以后，人们再也没听到过山谷中凄惨的喊声，小鬼子再也不敢侵犯岳各庄。小鬼子深夜断头也就成了岳各庄的一段传奇。没多久，小日本投降了，小八路家里没有亲人，就在岳各庄住下了。

再说香杏虽然变成了鬼，仍然有着人的感情，而且心地善良，只是特别心疼盼头儿，只要是有和盼头儿年龄相仿的小孩子，她都想留住。留住谁的孩子，谁的孩子就像丢了魂，所以，一般没人敢抱着孩子从村西坟地过。

故事讲完了，崔大爷睁开眼睛，坐直身子，磕了磕手里的烟锅。

阿翠听得入神，她叹了口气，说：“唉，香杏啥都好，可就是不该吓唬孩子，要是不吓唬孩子就更好了。”

崔大爷摇了摇头：“谁也夺不走她的爱子之心。”

阿翠特别好奇，问：“崔大爷，您咋知道这么清楚？”

崔大爷用手抚开头发，露出疙疙瘩瘩一个疤，回答得很慢：“俺就是当年那个小八路。”
