我家的树
我们院子不知怎的,灌木也好,九重葛也好,甚至七里香九层塔,不理它们,都长得瘦瘦高高,跟椰树看齐。不仅咖喱叶树有我的两倍高,我的水梅,因懒惰没有修剪,都高我两个头。人家种在地上的水梅,矮小袖珍,开满白花,香气满贯,我的却忙着往天空长,忘记开枝散叶,以为自己是木瓜树。它却不忘撒种子,主树边都是小苗,好像抢着插旗攻地。
曾经一度,我爹回去瓜登之后,鱼池旁的九重葛和木槿没人修剪,茂盛蓬勃,向上长超过路边电杆线的高度,再千军万马弯弯压下来,主要的树干有手臂粗,压歪了铁篱笆。而且它们的尖刺很坚锐,带点炎性反应,可刺穿鞋底,十分可怖。如果花开累累,倒也算了,我的看来却像超大棵的荆棘。
(取自wikimedia)别人的九重葛千朵万朵压枝底,大得浪漫。我的光长叶子,大得恐怖。
就在那个时候,对面户在我们围墙外的路肩立起一个拿督公神位,朝着我们家里烧香膜拜。
我想他们的对象不是九重葛,更不是我们家池塘里的鲤鱼,或十几岁爱吃素的大灰鱼玉娇龙。
依照常识,应该是夹杂在九重葛之间,觥筹交错,也长得像森林的某棵树。初初搬进来的时候,该树只是一丛灌木,长在鱼池一旁。数年下来,蔚然成树,伸出气根,壮大声势。也许对面户从围墙小窗偷瞅,看中这棵高越六尺篱笆的树,隔着水泥墙,给它摆个龛,请拿督公入住。
开始我们有点不知所措,心中不是味道。
那时奥地利交换生长豆住我家,他说好啊,家里有个森林,让他想起爱书《Jungle Book》。有时候放学回家还没门进,他就坐在神龛旁,九重葛树荫下纳凉。我跟他说,在大马,信徒喜欢安拿督公神龛求财求运。长豆平时信上帝,听了也高兴,说道有事他也会向这个神求力量。
我哑口无言。
不久我老弟来访,我告诉他这个烦恼。这个南京大学宗教比较博士居然说,是好事啊。
什么好?风水还是地灵人杰?本来心里毛毛的,想打听有什么办法跟市政局投诉。听他俩一说,又迟疑起来。一拖数年,至今对面户已没那么虔诚了,虽不再日日跪拜,香火依然不断。
一开始,到底是怎么收到神谕,选在这里安龛的?神龛背后,隔着一条沟,一堵墙,才是他们认为的对象。如此距离,还有神力么?一跪一拜之间,刚好我们人在范围内赏鱼或除草怎么办?
首先,为什么我家范围内的树被他们选中,才是最大的问题。真是“大爱”精神。
搬来至今,我们从来没有跟对方笼络关系。照历来的经验,四面的邻居们,除了正背后的退休校长,其他的都有点奇怪,平时不会打招呼。对面户三不五时会传来激烈的争吵,扑出门外喊打喊杀的,像上演狗血肥皂剧。除了家狗吓到会跟着吠,我们都不敢多事。
长豆回国之后的某一段日子,我终于狠下心,拿出锯子,使出吃奶之力,给它们一个了断。花了数星期,每天下午我挥汗锯一点,因为树干太硬了。放纵太久没有修,树已长成精。最大的树干,一口气我只能锯一半,第二天再锯另一半。我的锯子也不好使,那是超市买的便利型锯子,不是很专业。总之,我还是慢慢地断了它们的生命主干。
截断生命之后的巨大枝丫,纵横交错,卡在围墙上,隔了不少时间才逐渐枯萎。
砍下丢弃在草地的某树断枝生命力超强,数日不理,居然抽芽生新叶。吓得我赶忙一股气搬到户外路边,就丢到神龛旁边。
枯萎了的九重葛,依然张牙舞爪,需要处理。某天我让天天按门铃求除草的孟加拉外劳进来砍树枝。个子矮小的工人借了用具,爬上水泥篱笆,逐步砍断枯枝。没多久,他就埋怨活儿太繁重,尖刺伤人,需要加工钱。
他砍了几斧的枯枝往下跌,反倒重重地扯住电线,紧绷的电线吓死人。外劳却说,再等等它们干掉,就会自己落下。眼看这家伙不行,替他消毒头皮上的伤口,贴药布之后,给点钱打发他走。我自己爬上篱笆,尽力调动树枝,减少拖扯电线的压力。
这些枯枝烦了我好久,一半挂着,一半躺在路边,伸出的枝丫尖刺,妨碍路人和车子,叫我朝思暮想,我忍不住只好自己拿巴冷刀出去修。终于有天,轰隆一声,整团干缩的九重葛树枝掉下,摆脱了电线。市政局平时的合约工人也不理会,根本就不修剪枝丫下的野草,甭提搬走这些麻烦。
最后事情还是解决了,哈比人打电话去市政局,叫当局安排卡车来收拾,他们还真的派推土机来收干净。人手去弄会被扎伤,机械就方便了。今后,我对大树的喜爱依然,只要别长在我家里。我家是麻雀,五脏很小,不敢贪心。
一番折腾过后,我猜想,对面户看在心里有什么想法呢?可是,我家里的树,这点我做主的权利,由不得他抗议吧?
他们到底也会变通,留了一支神树树枝,插进花盆里加土,种在神龛旁。现在它仍然精神奕奕地长在拿督公身边,虽然没有长成参天大树,足已。
又或许,对面户膜拜的不是树,而是鱼池假山下的某种灵气?把普通灌木催生成大号树木的energy?
不得不叫人心里五味杂陈啊。
洪荒之力,焉知祸福,不可乱使,慎记!
p.s.某“神”树到底叫什么名字,是什么科?我才疏学浅,当年只学过两个学分的植物学,实在不够用。就一种热带很普遍的油性厚叶灌木,不过气根长成支柱根的,倒是少见。
