你见,或者不见我/ 我就在那里

爸妈:

“附骨之疽”这个成语,原本指深入内部又难以清楚的敌对势力,就像生长在骨头上的毒疮。我今天要说的,仅指字面意思,就是长在身上的脓疮。当然不是我,而是家里的一条金鱼。

 

去年冬天的时候,家里的那条神仙鱼不知怎么就死了。鱼缸里立马空旷了起来。于是,元旦节那天,我新添了两条金鱼,一黄一黑,一寸来长。

 

这一年里,两条金鱼都长了两三倍,黄的修长,黑的圆滚,非常活泼。可是,不知什么时候起,我发现黄鱼尾巴分叉的地方长了一小团白色的东西,不透明。最初我以为是软骨。后来,白色小团变黑并向周围扩张,有一小片尾鳍甚至破了个洞。金鱼日渐失去活力,尾巴下垂,有一阵子甚至难以保持平衡。于是,我意识到那是一种病。上网去查,果然是:“烂鳍病流行于夏季,表现特征为鱼鳍边缘呈乳白腐烂状,鳍条残缺。导致金鱼烂鳍病,有水质不良、PH值不适宜、金鱼互相撕咬等原因。”

 

这种病,可以用高锰酸钾来治。可是,家里只有杀菌的药,只能先换水。 

 

慢慢的,金鱼缓过劲儿来了,又活泼起来,可白色脓包依然在。我每天都去看那条金鱼,看它摇着尾巴游来游去。每次看见那个脓包,都想起“附骨之疽”这个词,都替它觉得痛。鱼不会说话,不会流泪,痛了只能无声地忍着。而鱼在水里永远在动,哪怕睡觉,鱼鳍也会动。身上有疾,一动一痛,又不能不动......我不知道,在自然界里,金鱼是否会得这种病?若得了,它怎样自我治疗呢?是否全靠自身免疫力硬抗?

 

想起一本小说《荆棘鸟》。传说,荆棘鸟是一种无法休息的鸟,永远在天空飞翔,直至生命尽头。当它落在荆棘枝头的时候,就是死亡的时候。

 

每种生命都有自己的劫难,和只有自己才能体会的痛苦。智慧如人类,亦然。但愿眼下的这场劫难快点过去吧。

 

即此,保重。
