小    练    笔   

 古    时    候    有    个    孩    子   , 爹    娘    都    死    了   , 跟    着    哥    哥    嫂    子    过    日    子   。 哥    哥    嫂    子    待    他    很    不    好   , 叫    他    吃    剩    饭   , 穿    破    衣    裳   , 夜    里    在    牛    棚    里    睡   。 牛    棚    里    没    床    铺   , 他    就    睡    在    干    草    上   。 他    每    天    放    牛   。 那    头    牛    跟    他    很    亲    密   , 用    温    和    的    眼    神    看    着    他   , 有    时    候    还    伸    出    舌    头    舔    舔    他    的    手   , 怪    有    意    思    的   。 哥    哥    嫂    子    见    着    他    总    是    爱    理    不    理    的   , 仿    佛    他    一    在    眼    前   , 就    浑    身    不    舒    服   。 两    相    比    较   , 他    也    乐    得    跟    牛    一    块    儿    出    去   , 一    块    儿    睡   
 他    没    名    字   , 人    家    见    他    每    天    放    牛   , 就    叫    他    牛    郎   
 牛    郎    照    看    那    头    牛    挺    周    到   。 一    来    是    牛    跟    他    亲    密   ;  二    来    呢   ,  他    想   ,  牛    那    么    勤    勤    恳    恳    地    干    活   ,  不    好    好    照    看    它   ,  怎    么    对    得    起    它    呢   ?  他    总    是    挑    很    好    的    草    地   ,  让    牛    吃    嫩    嫩    的    青    草   ;  家    里    吃    的    干    草   ,  筛    得    一    点    儿    土    也    没    有   。 牛    渴    了   ,  他    就    牵    着    它    到    小    溪    的    上    游   ,  让    它    喝    干    净    的    水   。 夏    天    天    气    热   ,  就    在    树    林    里    休    息   ;  冬    天    天    气    冷   ,  就    在    山    坡    上    晒    太    阳   。 他    把    牛    身    上    刷    得    干    干    净    净   ,  不    沾    一    点    儿    草    叶   、 土    粒   。 夏    天   ,  一    把    蒲    扇   
 不    离    手   , 把    成    群    乱    转    的    牛    虻    都    赶    跑    了   。 牛    棚    也    打    扫    得    干    干    净    净   。 在    干    干    净    净    的    地    方    住   , 牛    舒    服   , 自    己    也    舒    服   
 牛    郎    随    口    哼    几    支    小    曲    儿   , 没    人    听    他    的   , 可    是    牛    摇    摇    耳    朵    闭    闭    眼   , 好    像    听    得    挺    有    味    儿   。 牛    郎    心    里    想    什    么   , 嘴    里    就    说    出    来   , 没    人    听    他    的   , 可    是    牛    咧    开    嘴   , 笑    嘻    嘻    的   , 好    像    明    白    他    的    意    思   。 他    常    常    把    看    见    的   、 听    见    的    事    告    诉    牛   , 有    时    候    跟    它    商    量    一    些    事   。 牛    好    像    全    了    解   , 虽    然    没    说    话   , 可    是    眉    开    眼    笑    的   , 他    也    就    满    意    了   。 自    然   , 有    时    候    他    还    觉    得    美    中    不    足   , 要    是    牛    能    说    话   , 把    了    解    的    和    想    说    的    都    一    五    一    十    地    说    出    来   , 那    该    多    好    呢   
 一    年    一    年    过    去   , 牛    郎    渐    渐    长    大    了   。 哥    哥    嫂    子    想    独    占    爹    娘    留    下    来    的    家    产   , 把    他    看    成    眼    中    钉   。 一    天   , 哥    哥    把    牛    郎    叫    到    跟    前   , 装    得    很    亲    热    的    样    子    说   : 你    如    今    长    大    了   , 也    该    成    家    立    业    了   。 老    人    家    留    下    一    点    儿    家    产   , 咱    们    分    了    吧   。 一    头    牛   , 一    辆    车   , 都    归    你   ; 别    的    归    我   
 嫂    子    在    旁    边   , 三    分    像    笑    七    分    像    发    狠   , 说   : 我    们    挑    顶    有    用    的    东     西    给    你   , 你    知    道    吗   ? 你    要    知    道    好    歹   , 赶    紧    离    开    这    儿   。 天    还    早   , 能    走     就    走    吧   
 牛    郎    听    哥    哥    嫂    子    这    么    说   , 想    了    想   , 说   : 好   , 我    这    就    走   ! 他    想    哥    哥    嫂    子    既    然    这    样    对    待    他   , 他    又    何    必    恋    恋    不    舍    呢   ? 那    辆    车    不    稀    罕   , 幸    亏    那    头    老    牛    归    了    他   , 亲    密    的    伙    伴    还    在    一    块    儿   , 离    不    离    开    家    有    什    么    关    系   ?
 他    就    牵    着    老    牛   , 拉    着    破    车   , 头    也    不    回   , 一    直    往    前    走   , 走    出    村    子   , 走    过    树    林   , 走    到    山    里   。 从    那    以    后   , 他    白    天    上    山    打    柴   , 柴    装    满    一    车   , 就    让    老    牛    拉    着   , 到    集    市    上    去    换    粮    食   ; 夜    晚    就    让    老    牛    在    车    旁    边    休    息   , 自    己    睡    在    车    上   。 过    了    些    日    子   , 他    在    山    前    边    盖    了    一    间    草    房   , 又    在   
 草    房    旁    边    开    辟    了    一    块    地   , 种    些    庄    稼   , 这    就    算    安    了    家   
 一    天    晚    上   , 他    走    进    草    房   , 忽    然    听    见    一    声    牛    郎   , 他    从    没    听    见    过    这    个    声    音   。 是    谁    叫    他    呢   ? 回    头    一    看   , 微    弱    的    星    光    下   , 老    牛    嘴    一    张    一    合    的   , 正    在    说    话
