姑州外是渌州,渌州水泽丰茂,自古以来居在大元偏东,既不比白楼流州终年苦寒,而同样不比大元南境那般少有水泽,常有流水,而到春时坚冰消融极快,莽驰江尚在冰封的时辰,渌州遍地大小水泽江河溪流,春汛已来,山溪浅滩鱼肥田沃,反而使得渌州与大元其余处不同,以游猎为生者数目甚微,而事农桑渔猎者反而极多,百姓谋生的行当本事与大元其余地不同,却同中州与西路三国相仿。而水泽遍布,对于这等事农桑渔猎的百姓而言乃是相当稳固的好处,依山傍水,则可顺理成章凭山水厚赐过活,再者因渌州临近姑州,原本大元全境归王庭管辖时,自姑州王庭地去往大元以东,渌州乃是必经之路,不论是外来商贾还是大元境内凭皮毛货品易得钱财的零散小贾,皆要途径渌州,因此粮米充裕而百姓精熟渔樵桑织的渌州,同样从中取利颇丰,家家户户不见贫苦之人,路不拾遗,夜无值守。可自打从胥孟府勾结各部族起兵过后,渌州就再不复往日平静安然年月静谧,先是王庭在渌州布置兵马驻守,抵御士气正盛且由黄覆巢统领的胥孟府铁骑兵马西进,死伤不计其数,饶是有雄关拦挡胥孟府铁蹄,然依旧力不能及,很快被排兵布阵擅出奇谋与阴损招数的盛气书生挫败数度,很快便自关口处撤去,渌州近乎拱手相让,落到胥孟府掌中。若说从前渌州还不曾失陷的时辰,王庭受少赫罕把控,虽同样有徭役赋税,可远不及胥孟府来时这般,将百姓生死全然置于不顾,强取豪夺,乃至于放任铁蹄随意践踏整座风雨飘摇的渌州,户无一日粮,家无抵寒衣,仅隆冬数月之间,本来算在富庶一列的渌州,冻死饿死尸骨,近乎占去渌州百姓门户三成,乡野野犬反倒是常噬人骨,竟然是变得膘肥体壮。凡事毁易起难,祖辈居于渌州借大片水泽沃土过活的百姓,在这场仅仅延续不足两载的战事里,有这等说法传将出外,无福泽运气者尚能保住性命来,而大多亦是流离失所,亲眷故人所剩无几,人不如犬,且要担起无穷苦楚,而那等福泽运气极好者,早就死在头一茬部族铁骑冲入渌州的时节,痛痛快快挨过一刀,身死之后无牵无挂,反而比那等苟延残喘艰难过活的流民,要舒坦不晓得多少去。生而不如死,渌州如是一件出窑生得亭亭玉立的青瓷,如今仅剩遍地细碎瓷片,触目惊心。渌州北顺道里有一户姓文的人家,朝前数得三代,尽是顶地道的渌州人家,男子事渔樵垦田,而女子往往缫丝织衣,勤快得紧,虽做得皆是再寻常不过的行当,而历三代过后,倒也是积攒来个不小的家业,宅院宽敞而无需忧心生计,连独子文陵玉,都受此福泽庇佑,自幼知书达理,颇有学识,且凭这份本事,于渌州外做了位名门望族里头的教书先生,甚受望族中老者看重,没准再过数载,就可自渌州走出,去到各部族族老府所在处为官,眼见往后有通天青云道。不过既在外奔忙,就少有还家时节,常有半载不归的时节,文父早丧,宅院里头仅剩年已五旬的文氏,独守宅院寡居,好在前几载时文陵玉归家时节,带回位温良淑善且面皮极好的女子,不久过后便明媒正娶,才是使得原本很是孤苦的文氏略微宽心,儿郎外出奔波闯荡,有儿郎贤媳陪同,倒也不觉无趣。文氏乃是开明之人,并不讲那等正襟危坐礼数周全的道理,而有此儿媳身在宅院中,两人除却平日抽丝织衣,照料农桑外,浣衣或是闲谈时,倒是甚为投缘。尤其时常要说起自家这独子文陵玉孩童时的趣事,或是早年间厌学时的陈年旧事,女子家室甚好,同样知书达理,虽算得上是下嫁,而每每听闻文氏出言,甚觉亲近,长此以往反倒亦将婆媳间繁琐规矩尽数抛却,开怀畅言,使得此地孤宅流年,减去许多艰难寡淡。而除这等平日常事外,文氏还是要往往去到城中观音祠里求签问道,从极早年间就是如此,自贤惠儿媳到家,去得更为频繁,除却平日里求签问道外,当然还要添上个求子事,笃信得紧,且每逢文陵玉难得归家小住,往往要三人一同去往祠里求子,且往往要啰嗦几句,言说文陵玉勿要只顾奔波生计,若闲暇无事就自行归家,即使是忘却娘亲,总也不得冷落贤媳。也不知是观音怜爱,还是文陵玉当真听到耳中,果不其然数月之间屡次三番归家过后,掐脉诊出有喜。孩童顺顺当当落地,顺数当当能艰难坐起身来。可不出一载,就有消息传来,胥孟府起兵。谁人也猜不出胥孟府起兵,能在几月之间横扫大元半壁江山,更是不曾想到,依顺大元的部族有如此之多,投鞭断流,四十余万只马蹄犹似雷震,席卷渌州。今日春深日浓,文氏小心翼翼掩上旧柴门,将悬在外头的两枚野菜珍之又珍揣到怀中,寻思片刻折返回柴房当中,侧耳听四下无动静,才敢将柴草遮掩的一扇窖门敞开,颤颤巍巍走到狭窄窖中,并不敢掌灯,只得凭依稀透进的细碎日光勉强认路,走到处床榻边,摸黑找寻到一枚枯枝似的臂膀,使早年间浅学来的些许捏脉本事,勉强拿住枯
瘦手腕,摩挲片刻,终究是长长吐出口浊气来。“婆婆既是前来,就将油灯点起,彻儿方才哭闹,眼下已是睡去,掌灯并不妨事。”经老妪点燃油灯过后,狭窄床榻处显露出张惨白瘦弱的女子面皮来,经微弱灯火映照,犹似厉鬼骇人得紧,但依然左臂稳稳抱住个孩童,孩童却并不显得瘦弱,倒是落在女子枯瘦臂弯处,显得很是壮实。打从胥孟府部族铁骑踏入渌州,无所忌惮闯进城中过后,单单死在马匹冲撞或部族刀枪下的寻常百姓,就不下千数,更是强取豪夺,不论银钱粮米,大多人家都是分毫不剩,尽落入胥孟府兵马手中,还是到头来有胥孟府中人前来渌州,瞧见这等不亚于屠城的举动严令禁行伤人强夺,才使得杀人伤人事少些,但入户抢掠钱粮,依然屡禁不止,可似乎胥孟府中人并不愿立下此等军法,故而迟迟拖延下来,助长嚣狂气焰。文家宅院早已被兵卒占去,钱粮更是分毫不剩,遭人盘剥殆尽,文氏却从始至终未曾流露出甚不满来,反倒时常替占据文家宅院的兵卒添茶送水,才是护住自身无忧,尽管时时遭那些位兵卒骂成老奴才,照旧未曾动怒。前一阵冬春换季,被文氏藏到柴房地窖中的儿媳体弱,哪怕是文氏将兵卒施舍来所剩无几的粮米让给儿媳与孙儿,可女子仅是浅尝一口,近乎全数让给孩童,一来二去身子疲弱,再者此地不见天日,很快就生出病症来,还是文氏一连多日去往城中,做那等押送肩扛粮草辎重的活计,得来些铜钱,好说歹说同郎中讨过几服药,才不至于丢了性命。“不知夫君可有消息传来?”女子身形枯瘦,但提及此事两眼却难得亮堂些许,老妪犹豫片刻,摩挲摩挲女子掌心,“且放宽心,这胥孟府部族兵马虽凶恶,但陵玉乃是读书人,头两日你昏昏沉沉时,收到陵玉家书,说眼下虽是艰难,倒还能得个饱足,待到你身子再好些,再将那书信念给你听,娘识字不多,可也还凑合着。”才要离去时,女子扯住老妪袖口,迟疑许久,还是将怀中孩童递到老妪身前。“娘,你将我卖了吧。”“原本身子就是羸弱,染病过后更是艰难,恐怕撑不到时局好转的年月,彻儿尚在襁褓,需有人照应,如若有善心之人,能将娘与彻儿送往太平地界,如何都能放下心来。”老妪颤颤巍巍走出柴房,同样是多日不见粒米,从遍地狼藉空坛的文家宅院走出时,屋舍里兵卒饮酒叫骂声不绝于耳,尚有女子哭嚎声凄惨至极,不知是城中谁人家的姑娘,何处的良家女子,但老妪脚步并未停下,而是神色木讷,脚步一深一浅走出本该是自家宅院的狼藉地,避过几头饥肠辘辘野犬,从分明春色铺满,却满地无家可归之人的街巷,最终走到那座往日最常去的观音祠外,从袖里摸出枚草杆,插在许久不曾插簪的斑白发丝当中。像是知晓行径酷烈,这满是残破狼藉饿殍遍地的城中,唯独有这么一处清净地,有卖儿卖女者跪在观音祠外,费力掰开孩童口齿,同那些位兵卒放行而来的商贾苦苦哀求,说是这孩童身子骨壮实,即使挨无数回痛打,照旧身子骨瓷实;有尚有两三分容貌的女子侧坐到商贾车帐外,将本就残破脏污的旧衣衫扯低些许,奈何实在腹中无食,端的递不出媚眼如丝。文氏等了许久,也无人来问。想来大抵也无人会买下个年近花甲的老妪,可老妪依旧站到原地,许久后才回想起来,应当拜拜观音,于是回头朝祠中望去,盘算着远远拜上两拜,即使手中无香,总有诚心在。记得祠中从来都是笑意深重,半睁眉眼的泥塑观音,但老妪这次看过去时,才发觉本该无知无觉,不该有变化的观音像,却不知何时闭紧两眼。如是不愿见此人间。不远客栈门前靠着位挎刀的胥孟府兵卒,眉眼清秀,无言望向依旧叩头不止的老妪。
