长篇鬼故事 - 红玉尸

六、死复生

山道之间，空气中漾起肃杀的寒意，一条森然巨蟒仿佛天神役使的巨怪从高处降临。

夜风将山林撼动，数不清的红、黑、金光鳞甲纷纷在丛林间闪现。

寨民怎么也想不到为何会出现铺天盖地的蛇群，为首领队的瑶家壮汉起初还舞刀大声念诵着什么咒语，但当那条蟠龙大蛇立起木桶粗大的身躯与他对峙一会后，他的心理防线也迅速瓦解，大喊了一声瑶话，身后抬着棺材的几个人就调转方向往山下逃去。

盛全看那少年人倏忽赶到半路，见人们要逃，又仰天发出一声唿哨，横亘前方的森然大蟒立即游附到岩石上，弯曲着身形就朝抬棺的人群弹飞过去，那些人不住回头张望，也顾不得棺材，尽数逃命而去。

那少年的目标居然是棺材？

“小心！盛全连滚带爬地扶着洞壁就跑出去，”别伤了那曾家的姑娘！“

少年已经奔到棺材前方，听到他的叫喊脚步顿了一顿，却没回头，而是径直绕过棺材继续走向数步之外的曾家小姐。

奇怪的是，那少年一路走来，蛇群也自动安静地退避到两边草木中去，盛全确定没什么威胁异动，才踉跄着慢慢往山路下走，靠得近些，才见那少年竟然将刀放下一侧，单膝跪在曾家女子面前，两人像是相识，少年的侧面隐在阴影处看不真切，但对女子点一点头，还替她将双手的束缚松绑。

盛全这才稍觉放心，终于挪到棺材面前。

近看这棺木比普通棺材都要宽大，似乎是樟木的纹理，但其上刷满色泽诡异的厚重红漆，棺盖的上下接口处更是画满了各种看不懂的纹理图腾。

”这到底是……谁的尸体……“盛全忍不住伸手摸到棺木上方，却猛地被烫到一般发出一声惊叫。

少年登时警觉地拾刀起身过来：”你别碰它。“

山路被丢弃的火把照亮，熊熊地映在满身红水的冷面少年人身上，一如幽暗之中气势凌厉的地狱修罗，盛全本就发软的双腿居然有跪下的冲动，但他深吸一口气道：”这、这里面……有东西在动……“

”是红玉尸。“少年似乎知晓一切，淡淡地说道，”昔年有暹罗方士罗尼娑婆，言寿有三百岁，游寓粤西一带，造延年长生药……据说，其最后隐于西江南岸山谷瑶寨，逝时只有附近的瑶民知晓。“

”红寨人说的神仙难道真有？“盛全讶异道。

少年摇一摇头，嘴角弯起一抹微不可见的冷笑：”这方士是来粤西一带寻找珍奇石矿的，当年州府发觉端倪后便派官兵来追捕，他便吞毒砂假死了，身体一直由红寨的人秘密保存，并且嘱咐每年定时要杀血供奉……神仙法宝则是当年方士用的一个红石臼，传说入泉水便能变成救命神药，哼，只是一些欺骗山人的把戏罢了，这方士没死，但棺不能开。“

”没死？你怎会知道这么多……“盛全还想追问，忽然距离不远的山底下传来”乒乒乓乓“的短兵相接的声音，同时还有一个雄厚男人的喊声，只是隔得远，听不分明。

少年侧起耳朵凝神关注一下：”是巡检司的李大人带人到了。“

”龙五……“那边厢的曾家女子却忽然唤了一声，少年立即回身赶去，盛全循声去看，此刻离得近了，才看清那女子仿佛十四五岁模样，身扶着一棵大树，手掌中正托着一块像是玉珮的东西，少年走过去，盯着她手中东西——

那是一块白光琉璃般的繁复珮件，女子的话音不高却能听到：”这是上次你让我代为保管的死玉，我一直随身带着，原是一团黑色的混沌模样，刚才想起……怎的变成这样了？“

少年人低头从女子手中接过玉珮，略长的黑发遮在脸上，但他的动作轻缓而慎重，好似接过了稀世奇珍般，半晌才抬头望向女子，女子也定定地看着他，两人这一眼，恍惚群山之间的万籁俱寂。

直到山下传来新一轮冲锋声，还有人再往山上来，少年才低声说了一句：”我去去就来。“

女子不作声地看着他，直到他的身影消失在山路尽头。

七、尾声

盛全和郑家兄弟被赶到的巡检司同僚救下山去，李毅观已控制了红寨的一干人等。

李毅观看到少年将曾小玉护送下来，不由慨叹：”你一个书香家门的小姐怎敢逃婚离家到这里？“

曾小玉经历几日颠沛波折，不免发髻散乱面容憔悴，但遮不住清白丽质的眉目容貌，她只是蹙眉摇头答了一句：”我断不会嫁与司家。“

接着，李毅观看向那少年人：”那口棺材该如何处置？“

”棺材不能开，红寨的人也不会让你带走，他们已经保管了几十年，不怕再保管下去。“少年人的目光深静如沉江西月，又看看曾小玉，”这里出的事瞒不了，索性铺开让大家都知道，我跟你们回去坐牢。“

善后的事，都是巡检司办的，盛全只是被迷烟滞了力气，烟散去后已无大碍，所幸郑家兄弟也没受重伤，只是流血过多十分虚弱。

事后巡检司李大人勒令带回了赵肆，治了他几条勾结谋害以及玩忽职守的罪过，下了大狱。

经过调查，据说那江渡的艄公，那段时间收了红寨人的银子，凡是坐船的，尽多往红寨去送，到地方也寻些话头勾引外人上岸去游玩，艄公也想不到红寨的人是想引来外人杀掉，后来陆续又查出红寨人另外杀了一二个落单之人，知府下令抓了那糊涂寨主的壮汉正法，才算是平息风波。

如此这般，事情也就告一段落。
