噩耗(虫)(1 / 2)

榜下贵婿 落日蔷薇 1918 字 2023-04-17

饶是陆徜向来自持冷静,见着这样的简明舒脑袋也瞬间空白,借着火把摇曳的光芒将颤抖的手伸到她鼻下,直到探到她游丝般的气息,他方缓过劲来。

虽然微弱却还算温热的气息扑在他指尖,让陆徜迅速回神,他方觉自己掌心里攥了团汗,心脏狂跳不止,几乎跃出喉咙。

地上躺的人除了微弱的气息,仍旧毫无动静,他飞快抽起火把,抬头往上照了照——上边是个陡峭的山坡,火光照不到头,高度必然不低,她从这么高的地方滚落,也不知伤到哪里,眼下又该如何救治?

将及弱冠的陆徜毫无头绪,只拿袖口轻轻擦拭她脸颊上的血污,一边低声唤她:“简明舒?明舒?”

简明舒没有回应,一张脸惨白失色,头上的伤口仍在汨汨往外冒血。

嘶啦——

陆徜撕裂袍裾,扯下一段布条,胡乱裹住她额角的伤口。不论如何,先止血再说。布条刚打完结,一阵风来,吹得草木瑟瑟颤动,山坡上传来匆促的脚步声。陆徜抬头望去,因着夜色,他只瞧见半山腰的草木间有无数火光晃动,还有窸窸窣窣的响动。那里应是简明舒滚落的山坡,山上那些人举着火把是在找她?

简家的人?

不对——

看着这阵仗不太像,若是简家的人,发现简明舒失踪或者掉落山崖,早就大喊大叫着找人了,断然不会这般隐秘不作声的找她。简明舒这意外也来得古怪,山上只有云华寺,可寺门离盘山路还有好长的距离,她怎会三更半夜从此地跌下?

如此一想,他愈发觉得事有蹊跷,定神又看了两眼,忽看见火光间隐约晃过的一两道银亮电光,那是只有锋锐的刀刃才会反射的光芒。

听闻云华山附近并不太平,常有江湖匪类在官道上劫持来往的车马,洗劫附近村庄,云华寺的香客本来就有许多是江宁县乡绅富户的女眷,被盯上也不足为奇。

简明舒这是遭了劫?

他看了眼地上的人,很快下了决定,起身将火把踩灭,而后飞速褪下外袍盖在简明舒身上,再将她轻轻抱起。

人入手的那一刻,轻如鸿毛。

曾氏一夜无好眠,听到些微响动就醒来,出了马车没看到陆徜人影,正有些不安,忽瞧见黑暗里跑来个人影倒吓了一跳,刚要叫喊,便听到陆徜声音:“阿娘,是我,快上马车。”

发现是儿子回来,曾氏安下心,正待问话,又见陆徜怀里抱了个人着急忙慌地踏进马车,一下也慌了起来,忙跟进车里。

铜灯点起,看到陆徜抱回的人,曾氏惊得睡意全无:“明舒?阿徜,这……”

陆徜没有回答母亲,只是扯过曾氏的被子一把裹住简明舒,头不抬地向曾氏道:“阿娘,你先别问,此地不宜久留,我们要速速离开,等安全了我再同你说。劳烦你照看她,我驾车。”

山上的火光已经往山下蜿蜒,看势头是来寻简明舒了。

简单交代了两句,陆徜低头用双手搓搓明舒的脸颊,俯下头在她耳边道:“简明舒,是我,陆徜。我送你去镇上找大夫,你千万撑住。”

语毕他起身重重掀开门帘,跳下马车将地上的东西卷上马车,再把留下的痕迹湮灭后方套马驾车。只闻一声鞭响,马车驶进浓重的夜色里,朝最近的浔阳镇去了。

马车驶到官道上时,陆徜方觉握鞭的手正在颤抖,外袍给了简明舒,冷风嗖嗖灌进胸膛,冻得人骨头发僵,他却觉得血液好似要烧起来,脑中来来回回闪过的,只有简明舒那张染血的脸,别的通通抛到脑后。

————

天擦亮时,陆徜驾着马车赶到浔阳镇,随便抓个路人问明医馆的位置,没多久便到医馆前。简明舒仍旧没有醒转的迹象,头上扎的布条被血染透,触目惊心,曾氏已然眼眶通红。医馆的门总算被陆徜敲开,姗姗来迟的大夫还来不及抱怨,就被陆徜拉到马车前。

掀帘一看,大夫也不敢怠慢,忙唤将人抱入内室,又找来医婆,由曾氏帮着一通诊查。良久之后,大夫擦着手出来,坐到案前提笔写方子。

透过半掩的门缝,陆徜只瞧见满地被血染红的布帛,心跟着一跳,转头问大夫:“先生,她的伤势如何?”

大夫奋笔疾书,头也不抬道:“小娘子运气不错,那么高的地方滚下来却未伤及脏腑,已算不幸中的万幸,手臂脱臼处已经接上,脚踝扭了,身上几处外伤,医婆已经在里面上药。”

“那她何时会醒?”陆徜心中稍安,又问道。

“那就得看她的造化了。她身上虽无致命重伤,可头上的撞伤很深,现已用桑白皮缝合,不过天底下最复杂的就是人的脑袋,头上的外伤好办,但是里头怎样,就不好说了,得观察几日再看。这是药方,先吃着看看,外伤要每天换一次药。”大夫说话间已经写满一张纸,撂笔吹纸,待墨半干后才把药方推到陆徜面前。

陆徜的心又沉沉落下,刚要接药方,大夫忽又收回,审视般斜瞥他:“这小娘子是你何人?又为会何跌落山崖?”

瞧大夫那神情,倘或他一个答得不对,便要报官。陆徜想了想,正色道:“在下江宁县举子陆徜,里头那位是我母亲,伤者……是我妹妹。我带着母亲妹妹赴京赶考,路上遇到盗匪掠劫,妹妹遭了罪,推搡间从山坡上滚落。”

“陆徜?可是江宁府今年的解元陆徜?”大夫激动地站起。
