青年躺在剛收拾出來的火炕上,咳嗽地要死,嬴洛給他燒了水,生了爐子,叮囑他蓋好被子後,自己頂著寒風,帶著一條狼狗出門巡視。

薄暮時分,她裹著秦嶺的風雪回來,叫了幾聲沒人應,進屋點燈一看,氣得差點背過去。
46Please respect copyright.PENANATSs2gmr6wd
青年沒蓋被子,昏昏沉沉地躺著,不停地發抖,手邊還放了本皮面的筆記,燒的水一口沒喝。
46Please respect copyright.PENANAZhcBABzleY
一摸額頭,燒得嚇人。46Please respect copyright.PENANA4YiAA9Bgde

她動作俐落地抖開那條破破爛爛的棉被,扔在他身上,去翻他的行李,想看看他有沒有隨身攜帶什麽西藥,結果行李裏面除了書還是書,外加一隻手錶一隻鋼筆一瓶墨水——總之一點能用的都沒有。46Please respect copyright.PENANAsmsSjfmXLD

提著煤油燈,她跑到自己冷得像冰窖一樣的臥室,翻箱倒櫃地去找本地新印發的赤腳醫生手冊,蒼白的紙上寫著蠅頭小字,她快要看瞎了,才看明白上面講的退燒法子。
46Please respect copyright.PENANANTksCakyfM
一般多用浸在冰水或涼水裏的紗布(或毛巾)擰乾外敷,也可用冰袋,每五分鐘更換一次,每次約半小時,冷敷後需揩乾皮膚。
冷敷的目的在退熱時,其部位可用於頸部,腋下及腹股溝等處。46Please respect copyright.PENANAy47JnAk9FE
46Please respect copyright.PENANACS54hlITbE
她去院子裡的水缸中鑿了幾塊冰,扔到麻布袋口袋裏,又取涼水給青年擦了擦額頭和脖頸,隨後閉上眼睛,摸索著解開他的襯衣扣子,小心翼翼幫他擦臂彎和腋下,腹股溝……看到這三個字,她心跳慢了一拍。46Please respect copyright.PENANAlB6B0HRFDz
46Please respect copyright.PENANAP20Eyogpgx
擦過一次,她又按照書上說的,跑出去換了冰袋。
46Please respect copyright.PENANA8XHbay1Kg9
青年察覺到她的動作,咳嗽兩聲,睜開燒得紅通通的眼睛,看著她。46Please respect copyright.PENANAuNiv26YIYs
46Please respect copyright.PENANARK02QoVD0h
“喝水。”她重新燒了水,用碗盛了,向青年下達命令。46Please respect copyright.PENANAVzQFbm220p
46Please respect copyright.PENANAkBy6G5Kaez
青年顯然聽見了,但並不吱聲,也不動彈,只是看她,喘氣像撕布條。46Please respect copyright.PENANAqxqUUFRPGs
46Please respect copyright.PENANAYSeYHjoykK
“成同志,你有什麼個人情緒,也得等病好了再說,總不能一死了之吧?”嬴洛似乎感覺到青年在和什麽東西隱隱較勁兒:”路走到這一步,也是自己選的,怎麽也得走下去呀。”
46Please respect copyright.PENANAVv0wfSO0UW
“這不是我選的……咳咳……”
青年剛開口,聲音就被咳嗽堵住了。他只能閉上眼睛,歪過頭,流下兩行眼淚。46Please respect copyright.PENANA0MaKtYxOLX
46Please respect copyright.PENANAjX33CNKbnK
“成同志,要是人人都有選,我也想去上海看看,可我也沒得選。”嬴洛看他可憐,勸慰道。
46Please respect copyright.PENANAiAXv3qKgNz
僵持了半晌,青年似乎聼進去了,撐著炕支起上半身,接過了水碗。46Please respect copyright.PENANA6ASCFGQwhF
46Please respect copyright.PENANAWc9yLkf6Pd
“這才是好同志嘛。”嬴洛笑了,困得哈欠連天:”一定要喝完,多喝熱水才能退燒。”46Please respect copyright.PENANAw84hmEkCap
46Please respect copyright.PENANAalphN5m2LW
青年聽話地喝完了,過程中難免因為咳嗽嗆了幾口水。46Please respect copyright.PENANAEidrUMsJG9
46Please respect copyright.PENANA40OaGr0xvS
她仔細觀察青年修長秀氣的手指,又看了看自己滿是老繭,指結粗大的雙手,將它們藏在了背後。46Please respect copyright.PENANAjOfoqrSIgf
46Please respect copyright.PENANA2opOTPVBSC
青年沒頭沒腦地說:”我母親,52年,從香港去美國了,父親帶我回上海,三年前自殺了。”46Please respect copyright.PENANAqmqYJhcX5J
46Please respect copyright.PENANAS4GtaS5XxO
“?⋯⋯”46Please respect copyright.PENANATGjxs0ccjx
46Please respect copyright.PENANAK144coWHvR
巨大的沈默橫亙在二人中間。嬴洛長久地住在林場,但對於城裡的風波也並非沒有耳聞。46Please respect copyright.PENANAOXEYBdi2eJ
46Please respect copyright.PENANAFUUJJRtr1Z
知識分子總是不容易教育的,城裡運動了幾次,卻總是改不掉他們身上那愛好針砭時弊的積習。46Please respect copyright.PENANAPLVVuz30LT
46Please respect copyright.PENANAGUUC5XWUil
於是偉大的主席做出英明的決策,無數知識青年便自願上山下鄉,接受勞動群眾的改造。46Please respect copyright.PENANAAaE4o5dRRz
46Please respect copyright.PENANAhsNFFWwq0r
今天,是她第一次見到所謂的罪大惡極的”臭老九”、”牛鬼蛇神”,一個真正的大學生。46Please respect copyright.PENANABd1t5yyJ43
46Please respect copyright.PENANAfx4K4vOpfJ
“你受委屈了。”她看著青年狼狽的樣子,下意識地說:”這裡條件太艱苦了,和上海、香港沒法比。”46Please respect copyright.PENANASE6SZqQjkf
46Please respect copyright.PENANApDzC77GJRb
嬴洛也不知道上海在哪兒,但她猜想上海、香港肯定比縣裏還好些,縣裡又比這裡好太多。46Please respect copyright.PENANAiDo1UXwt0E
46Please respect copyright.PENANAtfzsqpDJov
青年依舊睜著通紅的眼睛,深深地看著她。46Please respect copyright.PENANAgi7iicdwu3
46Please respect copyright.PENANAJmnVTSnAM9
直到下一輪咳嗽襲來,他蜷縮著發抖,緩過來後,又昏昏沈沈地躺著,嘴裏不知道念叨什麼。46Please respect copyright.PENANAjLbmHCrSdD
46Please respect copyright.PENANAJdsEZHSBw1
她又準備去換冰袋,青年一把拽住她,氣聲很重:”我⋯⋯想解手。”46Please respect copyright.PENANAWZWKIg4DEC
46Please respect copyright.PENANAyrBQ1cHSNn
解手?在哪裡?好像也只能在這裡。46Please respect copyright.PENANAymki53d1Be
她臉一下紅了,伸腿把瓦罐從牆角踢出來:”你自己來吧,這個尿壺是小魏的,她沒拿走。”46Please respect copyright.PENANACiFAr6twPb
46Please respect copyright.PENANAq26nSW5jra
青年點點頭,扶著炕沿坐起來,晃晃悠悠地翻身下炕。46Please respect copyright.PENANAgFkGmThoPP
46Please respect copyright.PENANAoz38Z6Dauh
她看他站穩了,連忙躲出去換冰袋,不讓自己聽到男人解手時奇怪的動靜。46Please respect copyright.PENANAuY9DrSxs1C
46Please respect copyright.PENANAynJERm0kU1
“叮噹”,金屬腰帶解開的聲音順著煤油燈的光鑽進耳朵。46Please respect copyright.PENANAAVHhetoyDV
46Please respect copyright.PENANAkoXlfg2LbC
“咚——嘟——”46Please respect copyright.PENANAZjll0nh6f9
她終於沒能逃過這怪聲,於是更用力地敲冰,想把這聲音敲碎。
46Please respect copyright.PENANAH2ED7N0CWk
“撲通!”
一聲悶響傳來。46Please respect copyright.PENANADCZDfSnNdW
46Please respect copyright.PENANAWIl4Z0dORu
“你怎麼了?”她顧不得別的,一把推開破木門。46Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8YhEllHgO
46Please respect copyright.PENANAioS07WdEwr
青年倒在地上,腰帶還沒扣回去,那條棉褲也落到小腿下,頭髮散了,樣子很狼狽。46Please respect copyright.PENANAeaF5tK9tnA
46Please respect copyright.PENANApFMXUdCHWJ
“你能起來嗎?”她問:”要不要我扶你?”46Please respect copyright.PENANAnfxNyrJP6y
46Please respect copyright.PENANAdKHeWChSDk
青年沒說話,深吸一口氣,兩隻手臂向上抓住炕沿,先抬肩膀,雙腿慢慢回蜷,硬把自己反撐著扔回炕上。46Please respect copyright.PENANAAqkiUUBfwb
46Please respect copyright.PENANAwkRRMmHvwQ
嬴洛嘆口氣,自己收拾了一番,捲著鋪蓋到青年的房間裡,兩條大狼狗也陪著她。
整個夜晚,她沒斷了忙活,幾次叫青年起來喝水,幾次給他降溫,一直忙到天邊破曉,青年的燒總算退了,人也睡過去。46Please respect copyright.PENANAg4BsfvzDRm
46Please respect copyright.PENANA7TG3AiYwGA
她自己爬上炕尾,縮在角落裡,將火炕的大半部分讓給病人。46Please respect copyright.PENANAib8ssAFCZv
46Please respect copyright.PENANADZFlnLY6ij
喘了幾口氣,暖熱了身體後,她終於懷著好奇,拿起青年手邊的筆記本,時而齊整時而淩亂的舊體字,夾雜著她看不懂的蝌蚪符號,一下子跳進她的眼睛。
46Please respect copyright.PENANAA2kMXw2FZk
她撿著能看懂的讀,找到了“復旦大學”、“鬥鬼風”、“罰跪”、“潑冰水”、“遊街”、“肺病”、“高燒”、“有辱斯文”、“不自由,毋寧死”,斷斷續續的,破碎的文字。
46Please respect copyright.PENANAlNmA8kPxJ5
這段她看不懂:
ἐν παντὶ ἄρα τῷ βίῳ ζῶσι φίλοι μὲν οὐδέποτε οὐδενί, ἀεὶ δέ του δεσπόζοντες ἢ δουλεύοντες ἄλλῳ, ἐλευθερίας δὲ καὶ φιλίας ἀληθοῦς τυραννικὴ φύσις ἀεὶ ἄγευστος.
46Please respect copyright.PENANARIYuz8YzfK
慣於長夜過春時,挈婦將雛鬢有絲。
夢裡依稀慈母淚,城頭變幻大王旗。
忍看朋輩成新鬼,怒向刀叢覓小詩。
吟罷低眉無寫處,月光如水照緇衣。
46Please respect copyright.PENANAxvigmN72Tw
這是魯迅的詩,她讀過,但此刻,她覺得這些字如此陌生。
46Please respect copyright.PENANAQjnHZgeNUc
筆記本中調出來一張照片,她撿起來,是一張被一分爲二的雙人合照。照片裏的青年拖著一條蓬鬆柔軟的大辮子,笑得很靦腆。
46Please respect copyright.PENANA7SEEDy3LBd
照片的背後,用舊體字寫了一行小字:
46Please respect copyright.PENANA0Foo9VHTR0
復旦大學,1965年外語系畢業留念——Amicitiae nostrae memoriam spero sempiternam fore.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAbDp596touv
那一半是誰?是他的女朋友嗎?嬴洛看著那張相片,不知道怎麽睡著了。46Please respect copyright.PENANAipcCq9kutI
