聊斋故事之义狐
乔大脑袋长得糙,可心善。
别人扛活,总希望主家多给点佣金,乔大脑袋不——他总会在结账时瓮声瓮气地道声谢后,退回一两枚铜钱。更有甚者,对少数家境实在窘迫的雇主,他分文不取。别人笑他傻,他说:“那些穷得丁当响的人家,若非实在没办法,谁会花钱雇人呢?都乡里乡亲的,能帮就帮一把吧!”
尽管乔大脑袋孤身一人,家徒四壁,可他总是尽己所能扶贫济困。看到孤寡老人断炊,他宁可自己挨饿,也要把吃的省给老人。
冲着乔大脑袋的善良实诚,找他扛活的人很多。
这一次,找乔大脑袋的是胡寡妇。胡寡妇是外来户,一个妇道人家带着个年幼的小儿,活得清汤寡水的。
任谁都能猜到,乔大脑袋这场活计又得白扛了。也有促狭鬼挤眉弄眼道:“钱算个屁,没准这憨佬能时来运转,交上桃花运呢……”
大伙的猜测都错了——娇俏可人的胡寡妇并未以身相许,而是给了乔大脑袋十个金元宝。
乔大脑袋立马怔住了。嘿,这小娘子深藏不露啊!
当然,惊奇归惊奇,乔大脑袋是不会收这些金子的。割了两亩地的麦外加将漏雨的屋顶修了,哪值这么高的酬劳呢?
胡寡妇坚持要给,乔大脑袋坚辞不受。胡寡妇无奈之下,道出自己真实身份。
“妾身胡嫣本是狐精,因与凡人陌离相爱,触怒了对我垂涎已久的冷魔君。为泄私愤,这魔头动用至高法力,欲借雷霆杀了我儿,幸亏恩公素来行善积德有神佛庇护,小儿才逃过灭顶之灾。”
乔大脑袋如梦初醒:怪不得修屋之际,那惊雷总是追着那间破草屋呢。当时那孩子面无血色惊惶不已,是自己将他抱于怀中,想不到竟助他度过大劫。
“胡嫣虽非人类,却也懂得感恩。请恩公务必收下这点薄酬,娶个媳妇,开枝散叶,这样妾身才能感到心安稍许。”
乔大脑袋摇头道:“孩子幸免于难是天意……乔某无功不受禄,你给五枚铜钱就行了。”
见乔大脑袋如此,胡嫣越发敬重,只得取了五枚铜钱给他。
胡嫣牵着儿子向乔大脑袋拜了三拜,便化作一股青烟,猝然间无影无踪。
听了乔大脑袋的奇遇,村民们纷纷骂他太呆了,白白错过这么一个发财良机——然而,心里却对他越发刮目相看。
乔大脑袋不以为意,继续过着清贫的日子,古道热肠一如既往……
不久后的一天,倾盆大雨从天而降。随着惊天动地的炸雷,乔大脑袋聊以栖身的小草屋轰然倒塌。
雨停后,乔大脑袋在村子边缘寻了一块无主荒地,自己动手重新建房。挖土的当儿,乔大脑袋突然觉得锹下面触碰到硬物。
刨起一看,是一罐金灿灿的元宝。不多不少,十个。
乔大脑袋将元宝装回罐子,抱于怀中,望着云雾缥缈的远方,沉思了好一会儿。
乔大脑袋用这元宝置办了家产,娶妻生子,过上了幸福的生活。虽然富了,他那乐善好施的品德一直没变,广受众人称道。
没过多久,平安岁月便成為遥不可及的旧梦。皇叔觊觎九五之尊,导致时局动荡,战事连连。
烽火渐渐蔓延开来,民不聊生……乔大脑袋变卖了家产,携家带口进入逃难的队伍。
途中,乔大脑袋看到一个胡须花白的老头满面菜色,奄奄一息,顿起怜悯之心,将所带干粮匀了些给他。眼瞅着老头儿狼吞虎咽地吃下干粮,恢复了些许生气,乔大脑袋这才放心。
老人自称姓胡,与女儿一家走散了,如今只剩孤苦伶仃一个人。乔大脑袋听了觉得甚是可怜,便让他随自己同行。
说来奇了,这胡老头来了没多久,乔大脑袋一家人便昏昏欲睡……待他们醒来,所带细软已不翼而飞。
乔大脑袋苦笑一声,便已释然——发家之财本属意外所获,如今丢失,只当回到原点罢了,只要亲人平安便好。
夫人先还为“知人知面不知心”而生闷气,当听到有些逃难者因财物而被流寇所杀,这才顿悟祸福相倚的道理。
冥冥中似乎有一股神奇的力量在招引着乔大脑袋。经过七八天颠沛流离,乔大脑袋见到一座深山横于眼前。山清水秀,鸟语花香,一派祥和景象,令乔家人大喜过望。
乔大脑袋一家蹲在山泉旁,掬水嬉戏,发出久违的笑声。
突然,乔大脑袋的笑声戛然而止——在明镜似的水中,他看到三张微笑的面孔:胡嫣母子携手伫立,一旁拈须而笑的老者正是“掠财而逃”的胡老头……
