黄鼬恩仇

庄炜自幼丧母，14岁丧父，因指腹为婚，便借居岳父家读书以求取功名，成年后岳父帮其完婚。不久，火灾毁了家并夺走了岳父岳母的命。办完后事，庄炜放弃追求功名，谋了个私塾教书的差事，妻子则绣花洗衣赚些小钱贴补家用，日子虽苦，却也温馨。

这年春天，同窗司马啸出游归来，约众友相聚。饭后，庄炜见司马啸喝多了，念及他曾对自己慷慨相助，便主动送他回家。

月色中，庄炜看到路上有团异物，见是只毛色棕黄的小动物，司马啸大叫道：“哈哈！这东西能烹出绝佳美味！”说着跨步上前，左脚踩住它的小腿，右脚抵住脑袋。小东西似乎听懂了司马啸的话，可怜巴巴地看着庄炜。看到它隆起的腹部，庄炜不禁想到怀孕的妻子，便脱下身上的马褂，从司马啸脚下抢出小东西说：“它也是条命啊！”说着快步走下路沿，将异物放到草坡上。司马啸不屑地说：“不过是条黄鼠狼嘛！”还不住地埋怨庄炜迂腐、孤陋寡闻，庄炜说再小的动物也是一条命，两人各抒己见，直到将司马啸送到家才停止争执。庄炜到家后，妻子见他马褂遺失，并好言相劝，为人师表应注意言行举止。庄炜便倒头睡了。

次日醒来，妻子说她做了个奇怪的梦，梦见自己腹痛难忍倒在地上，被人救起后产下多胞胎，孩子们居然躺在庄炜的马褂上。庄炜哑然失笑，劝妻子别胡思乱想，要安心养胎。无论是儿是女，顺利生产就好。母亲因难产而死，他不忍妻子多受苦。妻子产期临近时，庄炜带着礼物去镇上预约产婆，归途买了半篮鸡蛋。因天气热，便在树荫下休息，不一会儿竟睡着了。

蒙中，见一少妇走到树下，羞涩地说：“大哥，烦劳照看一下女儿，我去去就来。”庄炜以为她要方便，便接过孩子。那女婴一点不认生，小嘴一咧笑了，庄炜心下喜欢，便逗女婴玩。不一会儿，那女婴竟在庄炜怀中睡着了。左等右等不见少妇回来，女婴也熟睡不醒。眼看天色已晚，庄炜只得回家。拎着个大竹篮不方便，他便把女婴轻轻放进篮子，小心翼翼地提着。

一进家门，邻家大嫂笑盈盈地说：“大喜啊，夫人生了对龙凤胎。”庄炜不敢相信，他放下篮子匆忙进屋，见妻子身边果然躺着两个粉嫩的婴儿，庄炜满心感激，边自责边抚慰妻子。

据产婆讲，她在家没来由地心慌起来，便赶来看个究竟，不想夫人果然要生产，只好叫来邻家大嫂做帮手。庄炜千恩万谢，送走产婆和邻家大嫂后，才想起篮子里的女婴，掀开盖布一看，鸡蛋仍在，女婴却不翼而飞。庄炜目瞪口呆，心中默默祈祷：但愿那女婴是被她娘抱走的。

半月后，看妻子身体复原，儿女吃得饱睡得安，庄炜这才对妻子讲了那天的奇遇，妻子听完，微笑着说：“难道少妇是送女观音？之前两个产婆均说我怀的是儿子，没想到还会有个女儿……细看女儿的眉眼，果然与那爱笑的女婴颇为相似。庄炜不再言语，感恩之心油然而生。儿女满月这天，庄炜和妻子倾尽全力摆了满月宴。众乡邻及私塾学生家长纷纷前来道贺，敬完一轮酒，庄炜朋友那桌便开始喧闹，这个夸儿子虎头虎脑，那个夸女儿俊秀娇俏。有认干爹的，有要定娃娃亲的。庄炜清楚几个同窗是不醉不休的货色，且由着他们笑闹，夫妻俩先去招呼别的客人。

听到婴儿啼哭，庄炜妻子忙避让到墙角喂奶，儿子还没吃饱，女儿也在众人的笑声中大哭起来。庄炜过去一看，原来是包女儿的小被子松开了，结果一泡尿几乎全尿在司马啸的腿脚上。司马啸咧嘴怪叫，众人哈哈大笑，酒足饭饱后，客人纷纷告辞。司马啸忽然一个趔趄，庄炜以为他又喝多了，司马啸笑道：“今日酒并没喝多，皆因一泡热尿猝不及防，躲闪时竟崴了一下……”大家以为司马啸在说醉话，便催促一起离开。庄炜没想到的是，司马啸的脚自此开始反复疼痛，初似崴了脚，后似被马蹄踩踏一般。请了多个郎中，均无力医治。脚病没医好，又犯起头痛病来，头发大把大把脱落。司马啸在人面前自觉矮了三分，风光大减。

那年冬天，见一老妇乞讨，司马啸看其衣着过分单薄，顿生恻隐之心，便让下人赠予棉衣和干粮。老妇却不言谢，临别还看了司马啸的跛脚说：“因果报应啊！”司马啸百思不解，头痛病却好了许多。

庄炜的儿女到了上学年龄后，他决定先带儿子到私塾读书，女儿留在家由妻子教。郊外花红柳绿，庄炜心中欣然，情不自禁面对青山绿水吟咏起来。妻子童心未泯，在花丛中追逐蝴蝶。俩孩子像小鸟一样，在草地上奔跑嬉戏。感觉有点饿时，庄炜让妻子取出点心，呼唤儿女一同进食。妻儿左右分坐，女儿只是应声却不见踪影，好半天才从石堆后咯咯笑着跑了出来。女儿手里捧着个布包，说是一个老妈妈让交给父亲的。庄炜四下找寻，却找不到什么老妈妈。妻子打开布包，见是庄炜当年丢失的马褂，中间包着两个精美的生肖玉坠。庄炜觉得蹊跷，便支开儿女，对妻子讲了用马褂包了黄鼬之事。妻子唏嘘不已，感念小生灵也懂得报恩。

庄炜决定当掉玉坠修房建私塾，妻子心有不舍，两只兔子精雕细琢，一青一白、一动一静，仿佛是专为儿女定制的。庄炜好言劝慰，妻子不再多言，只好由他去了当铺。从当铺回来，庄炜开始筹划。他虽饱读诗书，对建院盖房却一窍不通。庄炜决定向司马啸讨教，他走南闯北见多识广，且主持建造过庭院房屋。次日，庄炜正要出门去找司马啸，就见司马啸偕夫人一同登门。看司马啸容光焕发，脚步稳健，庄炜心下欢喜，未及坐定，便央求司马啸帮忙操持建私塾之事。司马啸满口答应，庄炜的妻子奉上新茶，司马啸这才想起自己的正事，说他的女儿酷爱读书且聪慧过人，家里请的先生已有些力不从心。想到庄家儿女也到了读书年龄，夫人便想让女儿过来一起读书，俩女孩儿彼此相伴，省得她多操心。庄炜夫妻满口答应，连夸夫人的想法极好。

司马夫人注重礼节，虽说司马啸和庄炜交往多年，她还是带了礼物，庄炜妻子推辞不过，只好收下。司马夫人笑道：“都说玉有灵性，可随有缘人。刚路过街市，没来由地想进店看看。结果一眼相中这对玉坠，巧的是正合侄儿侄女的属相……”

司马啸接过夫人话茬说：“夫人收了玉坠，我付完银票出店，竟发现脚病不治自愈，双腿轻快。若说破财免灾，那这财破得真值！”

庄炜打开礼盒，见里面正是自己当掉的两件玉坠，顿时目瞪口呆，恍然如梦。
