天在下雨,让原本就显得有些悲壮的远行更添了一份凄凉。雨不大,缠绵如丝,像是故土对他恳切地挽留,轻轻柔柔飘落在他的头发上,于发梢积出细小的雨珠连成网,将他的薄外套淋得到处是深浅不一的痕迹。天阴阴的,压下来,世界晦暗。透过这迷离的雨雾,他恍惚看到路上的行人向他迎面走来,汇成浩荡的人潮,或者说,是他感到自己正孤独地在人潮中逆流而行。
词虽不出情景二字然二字亦分主客情为主景是客说景即是说情,有全篇不露秋毫情意,而实句句是情,字字关情者,非借物遣怀,即以物喻人。宋词如李世英“一寸相思千万绪,人间没个安排处”,情语也;梅尧臣“落尽梨花春又了,满地残阳,翠色和烟老”,景语也;姜尧章“旧时月色,算几番照我,梅边吹笛”,景寄于情也;寇平仲“倚楼无语欲销魂,长空黯淡连芳草”,情系于景也。词之为道,其大旨固不出此。

铁匠比那些城外的农民们,更早地闻到麦香。在库车,麦芒初黄,铁匠们便打好一把把镰刀,等待赶集的农民来买。铁匠们知道,这些东西打早了没用。打晚了,就卖不出去,只有挂在墙上等待明年。吐尔洪·吐迪是这个祖传十三代的铁匠家庭中最年轻的小铁匠。他十三岁跟父亲学打铁,今年二十四岁。吐尔洪的父亲吐迪·艾则孜也是十二三岁学打铁。他父亲是库车城里有名的铁匠,一年四季,来定做铁器的人络绎不绝。父亲说,我们就是干这个的,祖宗给我们选了打铁这一行都快一千年了,多少朝代灭掉了,我们虽没挣到多少钱,却也活得好好的。只要一代一代把手艺传下去,就会有一口饭吃。吐尔洪·吐迪从父亲手里学会了打制各种农具。父亲去世后,他又把手艺传给四个弟弟和一个妹妹。他们又接着往下一辈传。
落日有落日的妙处,古代诗人在这方面留下不少优美的诗句,如象“大漠孤烟直,长河落日圆”、“落日照大旗,马鸣风萧萧”,可是再好,总不免有萧瑟之感。不如攀上奇峰陡壁,或是站在大海岩头,面对着弥漫的云天,在一瞬时间内,观察那伟大诞生的景象,看火、热、生命、光明怎样一起来到人间。但很长很长时间,我却没有机缘看日出,而只能从书本上去欣赏。海涅曾记叙从布罗肯高峰看日出的情景:我们一言不语地观看,那绯红的小球在天边升起,一片冬意朦胧的光照扩展开了,群山象是浮在一片白浪的海中,只有山尖分明突出,使人以为是站在一座小山丘上。在洪水泛滥的平原中间,只是这里或那里露出来一块块干的的土壤。
在电话拨通等待的期间,我非常懊恼睡前没有检查手机,可能是白天开会把手机设成静音忘记调回来。我不停地祈祷老爸赶紧接电话,每滴一声,一分一秒都是无比漫长和煎熬,心想别晕过去了,不然老年手机的声音响起来,震耳欲聋的他不可能听不到啊。越想越怕,眼泪都急出来了,电话还是没人接。紧接着又打了一遍,很快就接通了,听到我爸熟悉的声音,心里顿时轻松了一些,我哽咽着问,爸,你没事吧?!爸说,怎么了,没啥大事呀,不是医生说不让喝米粥嘛,你给买的豆浆机收到了,但我按照说明书使用,为啥响了一会儿,又停了,然后再响一会儿又停了,是不是寄的路上被摔坏了!?
①当今社会是个看脸的时代,大多数人希望通过提升“颜值”来获得更多的自信与机遇。然而颜值并不能决定一切。马云,一个名列福布斯全球科技百富榜亚洲第一的男人,他并没有很高的颜值。但他通过自己的努力,取得了如今的诸多成就。即使是在颜值时代,修心亦是很重要的。②一个没有素质的人,就算穿的多么华丽,一说话一个举动就能暴露自己。一个非常有涵养的人,即使穿着朴素,和他相处也会觉得清风拂面。
故乡的风之所以气势恢宏,是其中的沙尘充当了风的武器。那时的风与沙尘,像是从未分开过。风力助推沙尘漫天席卷,掀翻了街口摆着糖果的摊板,刮跑了老爷爷头上的帽子。偶尔看见骑自行车的人,在风里歪扭一阵之后,不得不屈尊下驾,吃力地推车前行。有时在教室里正聚精会神地听讲,风猛然用力,让玻璃飞出窗框,在书桌上和地上“哗”地破碎。我和同伴们对风的防御,最早使用的是风镜。顾名思义,风镜就是防风的眼镜。玻璃镜片镶在细细的钢丝框上,四周有密织的布罩,两端用皮筋连接,套在头上拉至眼部,风便吹不着眼睛了。每副风镜五分钱,后来有了塑料的镜片,价格要高出很多。戴风镜并不完全是为了防风,重点是防风里的沙子。
