长篇鬼故事 - 邻居

6

有些时候所谓的计划不过是一场贻笑大方的闹剧，所谓的天衣无缝在命运的轮转下也仅仅是错漏百出的伎俩而已。

我仔细地把所有细节都想了一遍，确定万无一失之后我才开始在老人的家里翻箱倒柜，做出一副被小偷洗劫过的样子，我用绳子把老人捆在了椅子上，他静静地看着我，那只八哥也静静地看着我，弄得我都有点难为情了。

其实为了这一天，我已经布了几个月的局了。我先是想办法租到了老人隔壁的房间，然后每天我开着那辆快报废了的汽车去上班，其实就是到周围的小区进行盗窃，其实我也没偷什么值钱的东西，我是个杀手，我有杀手的尊严。偷东西技术含量不高，也不刺激。关键是我需要这些盗窃现场，那么几个月之后我将老人的家也布置成众多案发现场中的一个的时候，没人会觉得我是蓄意已久的了，即使老人死在了家里，别人也只会认为老人是被那个小偷无意杀害的。

还有一件事我骗了你，老人的蛇其实没丢，是被我偷走的。那天老人不在家，我偷偷溜进了老人的家里。我要对这里的格局有一个了解。最让我讨厌的就是那只八哥，它一直盯着我，就像它知道我要干什么一样，那眼神太像人了。老人给这只八哥取了一个名字，叫庆山，那是他儿子的名字，现在你知道我为什么对这个名字印象这么深了吧。

临走时我注意到了老人的蛇，我突然有了一个新的计划，如果老人被毒蛇咬死的话那么就省下了我好多麻烦。我戴上厚厚的手套，又在网上搜索了一下捉蛇的要领，总之费了好大的工夫才把那条蛇从老人家的鱼缸里运到了我家的鱼缸里。虽然整个过程那只蛇都没怎么动，但是我的心差点就蹦了出来。

那只八哥就那样冷冰冰地看着我，看得我有些生气，我对它狠狠地说：“你再看我我就弄死你！”

之后的那几天，我越想越觉得把一条毒蛇放在家里总是不太安全，想想我真的有些后悔，这件事我做得确实太草率了。那条蛇静静地趴在玻璃鱼缸里一动不动，我怀疑这条蛇是不是死了？我伸手去碰了碰它，要是死了也好，我也就放心了。

那条蛇似乎就是在等我伸手，甚至没有给我反应的时间就在我手上留下了两个齿印。我骂了一句。觉得手已经开始发麻，剩下的事你都知道的，要不是乔波我已经是个被毒蛇咬死的人了，后来想一想，这个死法确实挺窝囊的。

等我忙活了半天，才停下来休息一下。老人笑吟吟地说：“小周啊，是不是我哪里得罪你了？你别跟我一般见识。我给你道歉了。”

我想了想说：“大爷，您确实挺讨厌的，但是我不会因为您讨厌就这样对您，其实这么对您的是您儿子。”我指了指那只八哥，说：“庆山。”

老人似乎没想到是这个结果，愣了一下然后哈哈大笑，笑得眼泪都流出来了，顺着满是沟壑的脸，蜿蜒着像两条虫子。

“大爷，您装疯卖傻也没用，我收了您儿子的定金，今晚您非死不可。”我耐着性子说。

老人好半天才不笑了，说：“小周，你把我床底下的那个盒子打开，里面有一份合同。”

我找到了那个盒子，里面有一份保险合同。数额大得吓人，受益人填的是庆山的名字。

老人说：“你知道我为什么要养那条毒蛇吗？我就是想找个机会让它咬死我。我早打算制造一起意外，好让庆山能得到一大笔遗产，没想到这孩子这么心急，嘿嘿。”老人又阴恻恻地笑了一阵才接着说：“这些年我越老越觉得寂寞，儿子从小跟我就不亲，我也不指望他能常来看我，我养了这只八哥，我叫它庆山，就像儿子一直在我身边一样。”

我拿着这份合同，有些尴尬。说：“大爷您别闹，刚才的话我就当您没说过，您这么做我还怎么收钱了？我不能白玩啊。反正合同的事儿我是不会告诉您儿子的，大不了等我杀了您之后我把这只八哥也杀了陪您。”

没等老人说什么，我就用绳子勒住了老人的脖子，直到老人不再挣扎了我才松开了手。我用手机拍下了老人的尸体，将照片发给了庆山。

我又给110和120打了电话，佯作虚弱地告诉他们我听到了邻居家有打闹的声音，就去看了看，结果发现邻居家进去了小偷，小偷把老人勒死了，我也被捅了几刀。希望他们能快点来。

打完电话我就静静地等待着，这时候手机短信的提示音响了起来，是庆山将尾款打进银行账户里的提示。我一拍大腿，差一点忘了一个大事儿，我从口袋里拿出乔波送给我的刀，我咬着牙用那把刀在身上捅了几下，做出了受伤的样子。疼的我直咧嘴。

看到这把刀我就想起了乔波，做完这一单我就远走高飞了，我觉得有必要和乔波告个别。

乔波接到我的电话并没有多意外，我静静地给他讲完了我所有的计划。我知道他是一个喜欢听故事的人，反正也许以后就再也不会见面了。

乔波听得很安静，直到我跟他说我用了他给我的刀把自己捅伤了。他先是停顿了一下，不知道在思考什么，然后他低声地嘿嘿笑了。说实话他笑得我很不舒服。

我跟他说我要把电话挂了。有一个银行的短信提醒我得先删除了，要不然就麻烦了。

乔波笑着说：“随你了，反正已经来不及了。”

我挂了电话，乔波的笑声一只在我耳边回响着，就像是一条毒蛇一样钻进了我的耳朵里……等等，毒蛇？我像是忽略了一个很重要的环节。

我的身体渐渐发麻，可脑子却越来越清楚，我忽然想到了那把刀是处理过我被毒蛇咬过的伤口，那上面一定还残留着蛇毒。想到这，我的心都凉了，现在我明白乔波说的“来不及了”是什么意思了。

我想试着把那条短信删除，可是手指已经不再听我的指挥了。现在我唯一的感觉就是冷。

在意识清醒的最后一刻，我看到了那只八哥在看着我，嘴里发出“嘿嘿”的笑声，我已经分不清它是在模仿谁的笑声。也许是老人的，也许是乔波的。

也许……是它自己的狞笑。

创作谈：这个故事缘于一个梦，我把梦里发生的事发在了微博上，一位好友鼓励我把它写出来，于是就有了这个故事。阴暗的梦里有一个阴暗的故事，比梦更让人猜不透的是阴暗的人性。

Introduce:I feel this world is very dark all the time, very long like me the warmth that did not feel sunshine is same. Actually Lian Taiyang uses ground of a kind of cankered look have ulterior motives to watching this land, just I just discover later, the darkest is not this world, however I. 1 the as most difficult as person association is straight-out, I won't mix my secret casually the weakness tells others, because I cannot decide the heart of the other side is gules, the color that also cannot decide my heart like others is same.
