民间鬼故事 - 鼠魅

西江堤畔高处有一瓶隐巷。清代道光年间，这里有一户姓周的富人。这家人三代单传，到这一代仍只生了一位少爷，取名周芸昌。

这天，少爷的奶妈在院中晾晒少爷的贴身衣物，忽然一只黄鼠狼从地边排水的管子里跑出来，奶妈吓了一跳，随手拿洗过少爷衣服的脏水泼向黄鼠狼，那畜生顿时被泼了个落汤鸡，竟然龇出尖牙，对着奶妈跳脚大骂：“你个无知妇孺！竟敢拿洗裤衩的脏水泼吾金毛黄三爷！吾要你等家中从此不得安宁！”

喊完，那黄鼠狼就缩回管道内一溜烟不见了踪影。奶妈吓得半天才回过神去叫来家里人，管家知道缘由后半信半疑，但还是喊来几个长工，把家中的排水管子搬开，却不见那黄鼠狼的踪影。

谁知第三天早上，黄鼠狼的话就应验了。奶妈给少爷端来一份肉粥和几个包子过早，少爷夹起包子咬开一口，没想到包子馅儿中探出了一截小指粗细的蚯蚓，周芸昌顿时骇得跳起来大吐，奶妈也尖叫着抱起少爷就跑出房门。

这之后，又接连发生了好几起怪异的惊吓事件，周芸昌为此变得性格怪僻，不愿见人。

直到周芸昌十一二岁时，他那位在外奔波经营生意多年的父亲周儒柏终于回家了，不仅带回几十车多年积攒的财物，还带回一对与周芸昌年纪相仿的男孩女孩来。

这男孩女孩是一对孪生兄妹，哥哥名叫刘青生，妹妹名叫刘雪素。据周儒柏描述，他俩本也是书香门第的大户人家子女。年前，他俩随家人出游黄河，夜宿河湾时遇到江洋大盗，父母和家仆都被杀害了，这对孩子因为相貌生得秀美周正，那伙大盗便打算将他俩卖到外省妓馆去做皮肉行当。于是在劫了他们家船后，继续南下。恰好周儒柏曾在码头与他们家的人打过照面，后来再在风陵渡口遇上，刘青生识得字，便咬破手指写了求救的字样偷偷传递给周儒柏。那周儒柏也是古道热肠，看信后去与盗匪几番斡旋试探，终于花了足足六百两雪花银买下刘家兄妹，之后还助他俩到当地衙门报官，官府受理后果断派出捕头皂隶前往抓拿，成功将那一伙杀人越货的江洋大盗缉拿归案，所获的赃物也尽数归还了刘家兄妹。

这事一时在当地传为佳话。但刘家兄妹到这步田地，已经落得家破人亡，只剩两个人相依为命了。周儒柏经过慎重思虑，将两个孩子收为义子义女，在料理自家生意的同时，也帮助他俩清算好余下的家资巨细，然后一起南下回到瓶隐巷的周家来。

周儒柏带刘青生和刘雪素正式拜见过正室温氏。温氏定睛看那刘雪素时，发现她着实人如其名，虽只有十二三岁的年纪，一年来又经历许多磨难坎坷，却依然是一副俏丽模样，穿一身素白衣裳，显得眉目楚楚、身姿亭亭，兼之说话举止有度，待人接物更显稳重大方。温氏不由得想，将这刘雪素抚养调教成人后，与自己的亲儿周芸昌配成夫妻，也算是一桩两全其美的好事。这才转忧为喜，将二人搀起身，又嘱咐管家给收拾安排专门的房间。按照周儒柏的想法，看那刘青生与周芸昌同年，为人聪慧沉稳，青生月份上小些，周芸昌作为义兄，有个同龄伙伴正是恰当不过。便让两个少年同住一院，既可诗书相伴，将来还可一同考取功名，于是就将刘青生安排在小院内的西厢房，而周芸昌住的是东厢房，两厢对门，既不相扰又接近。而刘雪素，就跟温氏一同住在内花园的女眷楼中，平日也叫她跟着温氏学习女红技艺，或者帮着持家理道。

诸事安排妥帖，已经过去了大半个月。奇的是，这段时间里，那黄鼠狼却再没制造什么骚乱，整座宅中三进院落加侧院，都是一派风平浪静，但温氏和奶妈还有家中管家下人都捏着一把汗，每日仍小心在意着。

再说回周芸昌，起初他对那位忽然进门，并且安排到身边一起生活的义兄弟刘青生并不感冒。大家住进一个院子，低头不见抬头见，刘青生每回都主动热情地向他寒暄，他都不做什么回应，整日除了对父母的晨昏定省外，照旧把自己关在屋里不出来。那刘青生也不急不躁，只是每日晨昏都会到东厢邀周芸昌一道出门，去前庭向父母亲请安问候，回来时常在院中摆下茶桌，头几回是请周芸昌来帮自己检查功课，或背书或抽查解读。周芸昌推托不开，勉强帮着几回，刘青生这一年多颠沛流离，有许多功课已经落下，周芸昌只得耐着性子给他一一解说，刘青生也十分聪慧好学，两人到底是年纪相近的学生，几番切磋之下，相处便生出不少趣味，逐渐周芸昌也不再抵触刘青生。周家又新请来上门的私塾先生，两人不知哪一天起就开始同出同进，吃饭睡觉都在一个书屋内。这样过了半个多月，刘青生见周芸昌时常对一些风吹草动犹如惊弓之鸟般敏感，就私下问起家中闹黄鼠狼怪魅的事，周芸昌如实告知，并担忧地说：“不知那妖怪何时还会出现。”

刘青生想了想说：“我在北方的时候，时常听大人提起黄鼠狼作祟的故事，下次若它再敢来，兴许愚弟可代为解决。”

这一日晚间，周儒柏与温氏在正房中宿歇，两人熄灯上床，盖上被子正说些家中琐碎事的闲话。周儒柏刚说到撤去供奉黄鼠狼的神桌，那畜生竟也没有报复云云，就听得屋子的房梁上有个尖细的声音笑道：“竟敢在背后说吾金毛黄三爷的坏话，看我锯断你家房梁！”

随即就听到钢锯在木头上切割，发出“咯吱咯吱”的声音，甚至还有一些木屑扑簌簌掉落下来。

周儒柏不由得慌了神，连忙起身去床头吹火折子想点灯，然而那火光刚刚亮起，斜刺里就吹来一股寒气把那火苗“噗”地吹灭了。如此三番两次，周儒柏的心也提到嗓子眼，头顶“咯吱咯吱”的拉锯声更急，他害怕房梁真的被锯断坍塌下来，只得胡乱披一件衣服拉起温氏就跑出房门，但他出到走廊的时候，温氏却执拗地不肯出去，他回头去看，身后的温氏却发出“桀桀桀”的尖細笑声，这时他才感觉到手中牵的手毛绒绒的，随后房间黑暗中传出温氏急切的呼喊：“老爷！那妖怪就在您身后！”

“啊—— ”周儒柏惊得松开手倒退好几步，站立不稳，顺着门前三级台阶滚了下去。屋里的温氏看到周儒柏摔跤，也尖叫着跑出来：“老爷！老爷！”

两口子在院中搀扶着惊恐望回房中，就听得一阵脚爪在瓦片上跳跃的声音，那尖细的声音大笑道：“看你们还敢背后道吾黄三爷不！吾把你宅踏翻！断你香火！”那声音说着就纵跃往周芸昌所住的方向而去。

再说回周芸昌，这一晚他与刘青生两人在东厢书房的木榻上靠着背书，父母前院的骚动传来，他刚要站起，刘青生比他更早警觉，连忙按住他说：“愚弟先代兄长去探视。”说完，便出门去了，院子里黑乎乎的，周芸昌害怕不敢跟去，就见刘青生灯也不拿，挽起衣袖飞快迈出门槛，身影倏忽一下就不见了。随后，就听到屋檐上一阵“噼里啪啦”的响，间隙中夹杂有几声像是兽类发出的撕咬，周芸昌吓得在榻上瑟瑟发抖，大约过去一盏茶的工夫，四周住的管家、丫环、家丁等也都闻声起床，各屋亮起灯火，大家纷纷循声而来。

那边不放心儿子的周儒柏夫妇也打着灯笼赶来，但屋顶上只闻厮打声却看不清影踪。周儒柏进屋拉起周芸昌询问经过，周芸昌也說不明白，只知道刘青生出去就不见回来。等这一家三口再转身出去看时，突然瓦顶上“扑通”滚下一个东西，众人拿灯一照，居然是血糊糊的黄鼠狼，舌头耷拉着，喉咙处已被咬断。

众人惊疑不定，再去呼喊寻找刘青生，却哪里还有那人的行迹。

如此喧闹半宿，温氏才想起还住在闺阁楼上的刘雪素，连忙带着丫环去查看。那刘雪素已经起身，衣衫整齐地坐在房中，看见温氏也十分镇定，听说刘青生不见踪影，好像也并不奇怪，只是叹息几声垂下眼眸，温氏觉得异样，对她一再追问，刘雪素才说，实际刘家只有她一个独生女儿，当日阖家在船上几乎都被屠戮。有一只从祖父辈传下的白眉黑老狗在混乱中咬着她的衣角，让她躲在船舱黑暗中，还口出人言自称要回报刘家历代养育礼待，虽能力有限，但会尽力护她这个刘家独生孙女的周全。后来，贼盗清理船舱财物，黑狗就地一滚，变成了一位与她年纪相仿的少年，不知他出去后与那伙人如何斡旋的，让那些贼人没有再起杀心，而是带着他们顺水而下，黑狗自称刘青生，从此与刘雪素以兄妹相称。到了风陵渡口时，他慧眼识得周儒柏是个可以仰仗的好人，于是再咬指写得血书与周儒柏联络，终于帮刘雪素脱离仇人牢笼。他来到周家时，已看出周家受黄妖蛊惑，便又暗中安排，私底下还跟刘雪素说，他即便拼尽性命也必保护周家少爷，好报答周家的仗义之恩。如今若黄妖已死，那青生不知去向，恐怕也是凶多吉少。

刘雪素一席话听得周家三口目瞪口呆。天亮后，家丁继续在家宅附近寻找，果然在一个窄巷的角落中发现一只浑身带伤的大黑狗尸体。合计之下，周家将那黑狗郑重厚葬入周家祖坟一侧，坟头立起由周儒柏亲手所书的“爱子刘青生之墓”几个字。从此，义薄云天的青生义犬传奇故事在方圆百里的民间流传。而那黄鼠狼妖被除后，周芸昌的心病也不药而愈，周家人格外善待刘雪素，待她年满二八时，便由周氏夫妇作主，与周芸昌二人正式合卺连理，从此过上美满幸福的生活。
