池    中    水    妖   

 从    前   ， 有    位    磨    坊    主    和    妻    子    生    活    在    一    块   ， 生    活    十    分    富    足   。 他    们    有    钱    有    地   ， 光    景    一    年    好    似    一    年   。 但    不    幸    的    事    情    突    然    来    了   ， 他    的    财    富    变    得    一    年    少    似    一    年   ， 最    后    那    磨    坊    主    连    自    己    的    磨    坊    几    乎    都    不    能    维    持    了   。 他    悲    痛    万    分   ， 每    天    干    完    活    躺    在    床    上   ， 总    是    辗    转    反    侧   ， 夜    不    能    寐   。 一    天    早    晨   ， 天    不    亮    他    就    起    床    出    了    门   ， 心    想    这    样    心    情    可    能    会    好    些   。 等    他    跨    上    水    坝   ， 太    阳    还    刚    刚    升    上    地    平    线   ， 突    然    他    听    到    水    中    有    潺    潺    之    声   ， 他    回    头    一    看   ， 发    现    水    中    缓    缓    地    冒    出    个    美    女   。 她    用    纤    纤    的    玉    手    将    一    头    长    长    的    秀    发    理    在    两    肩    旁   ， 遮    住    了    整    个    身    躯   。 磨    坊    主    马    上    意    识    到    她    就    是    水    池    中    的    水    妖    了   ， 情    急    之    中    他    不    知    该    留    还    是    该    走    了   。 只    听    水    妖    柔    柔    地    呼    唤    着    他    的    名    字   ， 问    他    为    何    如    此    闷    闷    不    乐   ， 声    音    十    分    悦    耳   。 起    初    磨    坊    主    给    吓    怕    了   ， 但    当    他    听    到    美    女    说    话    如    此    温    柔    可    爱    时   ， 便    赶    紧    定    了    定    神   ， 告    诉    她    自    己    过    去    的    生    活    如    何    富    足   ， 现    在    生    活    如    何    贫    困    潦    倒   、 百    般    的    无    奈   。" 别    着    急   ，" 水    妖    说   ，" 我    会    让    你    过    比    以    前    更    富    足   、 更    幸    福    的   ， 但    你    必    须    答    应    把    家    中    新    降    生    的    小    东    西    给    我   。"" 那    除    了    小    猫    小    狗    之    类    还    会    有    什    么    别    的    东    西    呢   ？" 磨    坊    主    心    想   ， 于    是    他    答    应    了    她    的    要    求   。 听    完    这    话   ， 水    妖    沉    了    下    去   ， 他    也    乐    颠    颠    地    跑    回    作    坊   ， 心    存    安    慰   ， 神    情    格    外    舒    畅   。 但    他    刚    跨    进    门    就    见    女    仆    跑    出    房    子    尖    叫    着    向    他    道    喜   ， 说    夫    人    刚    生    下    个    男    婴   。 真    是    如    五    雷    轰    顶    一    般   ， 磨    坊    主    站    在    那    儿   ， 呆    若    木    鸡   ， 他    意    识    到    那    狡    猾    的    水    妖    早    就    知    道    这    一    点   ， 而    且    还    欺    骗    了    他   。 他    耸    拉    着    脑    袋   ， 走    到    妻    子    床    前   ， 妻    子    对    他    说   ：" 给    你    生    了    个    胖    小    子   ， 难    道    你    还    不    开    心    吗   ？" 他    告    诉    她    灾    难    已    降    临    到    他    头    上   ， 接    着    便    把    许    诺    的    事    一    五    一    十    地    说    了   。" 财    富    对    我    来    说    有    什    么    用    呢   ？" 他    又    说   ，" 如    果    失    去    了    孩    子   ， 我    该    怎    么    办   ？" 就    是    那    些    前    来    道    贺    的    亲    朋    好    友    们    也    不    知    该    说    什    么    好   。 这    以    后    磨    坊    主    确    实    时    来    运    转    了   ， 他    所    做    的    交    易    都    兑    了    现   。 似    乎    一    夜    之    间    柜    里    自    行    装    满    了    钱    币   ， 壁    橱    里    的    钱    也    都    积    得    满    满    的   。 不    久    他    的    财    富    就    大    大    超    过    了    从    前   。 但    是    他    却    不    能    高    兴    起    来   ， 因    为    他    和    水    妖    之    间    的    交    易    让    他    伤    透    了    脑    筋   。 每    当    他    走    过    池    边   ， 总    担    心    女    妖    会    从    水    中    冒    出    来    讨    债   ， 他    也    从    不    让    孩    子    一    个    人    走    近    水    边   ，" 记    住   ，" 他    告    诫    孩    子   ，" 如    果    你    碰    到    水   ， 水    里    就    会    伸    出    一    只    手    来    抓    住    你   ， 把    你    拖    下    水    去   。" 但    年    复    一    年    水    妖    没    再    现    身   ， 磨    坊    主    心    中    的    一    块    石    头    总    算    放    了    下    来   。 男    孩    长    大    成    人    了   ， 在    一    名    猎    户    手    下    当    徒    弟   。 当    他    学    会    了    十    八    般    武    艺   ， 成    为    一    名    出    色    的    猎    手    时   ， 村    长    便    让    他    为    村    里    服    务   。 村    里    有    位    美    丽    的    姑    娘    深    为    猎    手    钟    爱   ， 村    长    知    道    这    一    切    时    便    给    了    他    一    间    小    屋   ， 让    两    人    终    于    结    成    百    年    之    好   ， 他    们    婚    后    过    得    幸    福    安    乐   ， 相    亲    也    相    爱   。

 一    天    猎    手    正    追    赶    一    只    雄    鹿   ， 当    雄    鹿    从    森    林    处    拐    进    一    片    旷    野    后   ， 他    迅    速    追    了    上    去   ， 射    死    了    它   。 但    他    却    没    注    意    到    自    己    竟    站    在    了    水    池    边   。 他    把    鹿    开    膛    破    肚    后   ， 走    到    水    边    想    洗    洗    那    双    沾    满    鲜    血    的    手   。 不    料    一    沾    水   ， 水    妖    便    突    然    从    水    中    钻    了    出    来   ， 面    带    笑    容   ， 用    她    那    湿    淋    淋    的    双    手    抱    住    猎    手   ， 跌    入    水    中   ， 浪    花    倾    刻    淹    没    了    他   。 时    至    黄    昏   ， 猎    手    还    没    回    家   ， 妻    子    焦    急    万    分   ， 便    出    去    找    他   。 因    为    丈    夫    曾    一    再    说    过    要    防    范    水    妖    的    诱    惑   ， 不    敢    斗    胆    到    池    边    去   。 她    马    上    明    白    发    生    了    什    么    事    情   ， 于    是    便    赶    紧    跑    到    水    边   。 当    她    看    到    丈    夫    留    在    岸    边    的    猎    袋    时   ， 她    证    实    了    自    己    的    猜    疑   。 此    刻    她    悲    痛    欲    绝   ， 芳    心    欲    碎   ， 一    遍    遍    呼    唤    着    爱    人    的    名    字   ， 但    听    不    到    回    音   。 她    又    跑    到    水    池    的    对    岸    去    叫    唤   ， 口    中    咒    骂    着    水    妖   ， 但    仍    然    没    有    人    应    声   。 水    面    平    静   ， 只    有    初    升    的    新    月    目    不    转    睛    地    注    视    着    她   ， 这    可    怜    的    女    人    没    有    离    开    水    池   ， 她    一    刻    不    停    地    围    着    水    池    跑   ， 跑    了    一    圈    又    一    圈   ， 时    而    默    不    作    声   ， 时    而    低    泣   。 最    后    她    筋    疲    力    竭   ， 倒    在    地    上    睡    着    了   ， 不    久    便    进    入    了    梦    乡   。

 她    梦    见    自    己    正    在    一    大    堆    顽    石    间    焦    急    地    向    上    攀    登   ， 荆    棘    绊    住    了    她    的    脚   ， 雨    点    打    在    她    的    脸    上   ， 风    把    她    的    头    发    吹    得    七    零    八    落   ， 当    她    到    达    山    顶    时   ， 展    现    在    眼    前    的    是    一    副    从    未    见    过    的    画    面   ： 天    空    碧    蓝   ， 空    气    新    鲜   ， 坡    度    平    缓   。 一    间    精    致    小    巧    的    农    舍    在    一    片    绿    草    地    上   ， 周    围    长    满    了    各    色    的    花    朵   。 她    走    上    前    去    把    门    打    开   ， 发    现    里    面    坐    着    一    位    白    发    苍    苍    的    老    婆    婆   ， 正    热    情    地    跟    她    打    招    呼   。 就    在    这    时   ， 可    怜    的    女    人    醒    了   ， 天    刚    破    晓   ， 她    马    上    按    昨    夜    梦    里    见    到    的    去    做   ， 不    辞    辛    苦    地    爬    上    山    顶   ， 果    真    见    到    了    和    梦    中    完    全    一    样    的    景    色   。 老    婆    婆    接    待    了    她   ， 给    她    指    定    一    张    椅    子    坐    下   。" 你    一    定    是    遇    到    了    麻    烦   ，" 她    说   ，" 否    则    你    不    会    找    到    我    这    偏    僻    寒    舍    来    的   。" 可    怜    的    女    人    一    把    眼    泪    一    把    鼻    涕    地    把    事    情    的    原    委    都    说    了   。" 开    心    点   ，" 老    婆    婆    说   ，" 我    会    帮    你    的   。 这    里    有    一    把    金    梳   。 等    满    月    升    起    时   ， 你    就    到    池    边    去   ， 坐    在    池    边   ， 用    这    把    梳    子    梳    理    你    那    乌    黑    的    秀    发   。 梳    完    后    再    把    它    放    在    岸    边   ， 看    看    会    发    生    什    么    事   。" 女    人    回    了    家   ， 但    时    间    距    离    满    月    还    早    得    很   。 最    后    她    终    于    等    到    了    满    月    升    起   ， 赶    紧    跑    去    池    边   ， 坐    在    岸    边   ， 用    金    梳    梳    发   ， 然    后    再    把    它    放    在    水    边   。 不    久    水    里    就    翻    起    了    万    千    波    涛   ， 浪    涛    打    到    岸    边   ， 把    金    梳    给    卷    走    了   。 还    没    等    金    梳    沉    底   ， 水    面    突    然    分    开   ， 露    出    了    猎    手    的    脑    袋   。 猎    手    没    说    话   ， 只    是    忧    郁    地    看    着    他    的    妻    子   。 同    时   ， 又    一    个    浪    涛    打    过    来   ， 他    的    脑    袋    被    淹    没    了   。 倾    刻    一    切    都    消    失    了   ， 水    面    平    静    如    初   ， 唯    有    满    月    倒    映    在    其    中   。

 女    人    满    怀    悲    痛    地    走    回    家    中   ， 但    她    又    梦    见    了    那    位    村    舍    里    的    老    婆    婆   。 第    二    天    早    晨   ， 她    又    去    老    婆    婆    那    儿    诉    苦   。 老    人    给    了    她    一    只    金    笛    说   ：" 等    到    满    月    升    起    时   ， 用    这    只    笛    子    吹    出    一    曲    优    美    的    曲    子   ， 吹    完    后    再    把    笛    子    放    在    沙    滩    上    看    看    会    怎    么    样   。" 女    人    照    着    她    说    的    话    去    做    了   。 笛    子    刚    放    到    沙    地    上    就    听    见    水    里    有    一    阵    响    动   ， 一    个    浪    涛    打    来    把    笛    子    卷    走    了   。 水    路    立    刻    分    开   ， 露    出    了    猎    手    的    头    和    半    个    身    子   ， 他    伸    出    手    臂    想    要    拥    抱    她   ， 但    又    一    个    浪    头    打    过    来    把    他    给    淹    没    了   。" 啊   ， 她    是    怎    么    帮    我    的   ？" 女    人    叫    道   ，" 为    什    么    让    我    看    到    他    又    要    失    去    他    啊   ！" 她    又    绝    望    了   ， 但    梦    又    把    她    引    到    了    老    婆    婆    的    面    前   ， 这    回    老    人    给    了    她    一    只    金    纺    轮   ， 并    安    慰    她    说   ：" 这    一    切    并    没    有    完   ， 等    满    月    升    起    时   ， 拿    这    只    纺    轮    坐    到    岸    边   ， 把    这    卷    线    纺    完   ， 再    把    纺    轮    放    在    岸    边   ， 看    看    会    发    生    什    么    事    情   。" 女    人    完    全    照    着    她    的    话    去    做    了   。 当    满    月    升    起    时   ， 她    拿    着    纺    轮    坐    到    岸    边   ， 一    刻    不    停    地    纺    啊    纺   ， 直    到    亚    麻    线    用    完   ， 水    池    上    满    是    纺    好    的    线   。 同    样    的    事    情    又    出    现    了   ， 只    见    一    个    浪    头    打    来   ， 把    纺    轮    卷    走    了   ， 很    快   ， 猎    手    头    和    整    个    身    体    都    从    水    中    脱    水    而    出   ， 呈    现    在    女    人    面    前   。 猎    人    赶    紧    跳    到    岸    边   ， 抓    起    妻    子    的    手    就    逃   。 但    没    等    他    们    走    出    多    远   ， 就    听    到    池    水    一    片    喧    哗   ， 池    水    立    刻    漫    及    整    个    旷    野   。 两    人    立    刻    意    识    到    死    亡    的    危    险   ， 吓    呆    了    的    女    人    乞    求    老    婆    婆    暗    中    相    助   。 过    了    一    会    儿   ， 他    俩    便    变    了    形   ， 一    个    成    了    蛤    蟆   ， 一    个    成    了    青    蛙   。 洪    水    吞    没    了    他    们    但    没    能    毁    灭    他    们   ， 只    是    把    他    们    冲    散   ， 带    到    老    远    的    地    方    去    了   。

 水    退    了   ， 他    们    又    踏    上    干    地   ， 重    现    人    形   ， 但    彼    此    都    不    知    对    方    在    那    里   。 他    们    发    现    自    己    身    处    陌    生    人    中    间   ， 那    些    人    都    不    知    自    己    的    家    乡    在    何    方   。 他    们    面    前    只    有    高    山    低    谷   ， 为    了    活    命   ， 他    们    不    得    不    去    放    羊   。 多    年    过    后   ， 他    们    仍    一    直    赶    着    羊    群    穿    行    森    林    草    地   ， 无    处    可    托    相    思   ， 无    可    可    托    牵    挂   。

 春    天    来    临    了   ， 一    天    他    们    都    出    去    放    羊   ， 可    能    是    命    运    的    安    排   ， 他    俩    走    得    越    来    越    近    了   ， 在    峡    谷    中    相    遇    了   ， 但    互    不    认    识   。 但    是    他    们    高    兴   ， 因    为    他    们    不    再    孤    独    了   。 他    们    因    此    每    天    都    把    羊    赶    到    一    个    地    方   ， 说    话    不    多   ， 但    彼    此    心    存    慰    藉   。 一    天    傍    晚    当    满    月    升    起    时   ， 羊    儿    也    睡    着    了   ， 牧    羊    人    从    袋    中    抽    出    一    支    短    笛   ， 吹    出    一    支    优    美    而    略    带    伤    感    的    曲    子   ， 等    他    吹    完   ， 他    发    现    牧    羊    女    正    在    悲    伤    地    哭    泣   。" 你    哭    什    么   ？" 他    问   。" 啊   ！" 她    回    答    说   ，" 当    我    最    后    一    次    吹    起    这    根    笛    子    时   ， 天    空    升    起    满    月   ， 水    中    露    出    我    爱    人    的    脑    袋   。" 他    看    着    她   ， 仿    佛    觉    得    他    眼    睛    上    的    一    层    眼    罩    立    刻    脱    落   ， 他    认    出    了    她   ， 同    时    她    也    看    了    看    他   ， 月    亮    正    照    在    他    的    脸    上   ， 她    也    认    出    了    他   。 他    们    相    互    拥    抱    着   ， 亲    吻    着   ， 谁    都    无    需    再    问    他    们    是    否    幸    福    了   。
