诡异故事之青之瓷

4.自由

抓着《商业晚报》的刘翎站在梯子上得意地呼唤着：“人鱼，我还有最后一个愿望，赶快帮我实现吧。”

人鱼的歌声响了起来，整个瓶子变得透亮。

“只要实现这个愿望我就可以得到幸福了！”刘翎命令道，“他的女人已经死了，让他和我在一起！”

忽然，歌声变得尖锐起来，刘翎只觉得一阵剧痛，便惨叫着从梯子上摔了下来。

“小姐！”刚好赶到的丁早风扑了过去，正要扶起刘翎，却有什么从空中掉了下来，他下意识地接住，然后失色大叫，立刻将手中的东西丢了出去。

那是刘翎的左腿，切口正汩汩流着鲜血。

“哗啦”一声水响，人鱼又跃了起来，而后掉落到了瓶子里。刘翎再次惨叫起来，这一次是她的半只手臂被切了下来。随着人鱼不断地跳起、落下，刘翎的身体也在痛不欲生的哀号声中越减越少：左臂，右腿，右手指，右手，右臂——

出水早吓晕了过去。丁早风对着人鱼大喊：“够了，住手！你太恶毒了！你如果不想帮小姐实现愿望，早说就好了。为什么要这样对她？为什么要玩弄别人的生命？”

人鱼停止了跳跃，浮在水面，眼睛里流露出无限的悲伤。

“丁早风，玩弄别人生命的是你们家小姐吧？她不但利用人鱼挑拨别人夫妻间的感情，甚至杀害了人家的妻子。”范黎冷眼道，“当初嫌弃别人身份低下，今日见人飞黄腾达就投怀送抱，这种女人无耻至极。”

“胡说，那都是人鱼做的。如果人鱼觉得杀人是错的，为什么它还要帮小姐实现愿望？”

“人鱼是一种贪婪而又自私的动物，依照许愿者愿望的优劣性，人鱼索要的报酬也有不同。一般来说，愿望越低劣，付出的代价越惨重。你看，刘翎被支解了多少部分，便代表了她提出了多少次卑劣的愿望，你不是见过一模一样的情景吗？”范黎看着丁早风。

是的，他的确见过，老爷死的时候就是这种惨状。

“许过夺人性命愿望的人，人鱼在实现其愿望后，也会夺走许愿者的愿望。刘翎和刘涛都是如此。”

“胡说！人鱼要是真像你说得那么清白的话，为什么不能让我的妹妹好起来？为什么她只实现那些不该实现的愿望？人鱼才是罪魁祸首！”明白刘翎死去了的丁早风，疯狂地爬上了梯子朝瓶子里的人鱼喊道，“恶魔！”

“正因为你许的愿望是祈求妹妹的健康，所以人鱼才只要你的血。不然，你早就成人干了。人类为了一己私欲，一直将人鱼禁锢在这个狭小的瓶子里，殊不知，人鱼也会有自己的愿望，那就是自由。”范黎看着已经慢慢平静下来的丁早风，问出了一个困扰他很久的问题，“丁早风，你为什么不去参加你妹妹的葬礼？”

梯子上的丁早风身子一颤，好半天才开口：“……我是个没有出息的哥哥，只能靠人鱼的帮忙才能让她活下去，但最后，妹妹她……还是走了，我没脸见她……”

丁早风捂住脸，呜呜地哭泣起来。

悠扬的歌声突然响起，模糊的视线中，丁早风看到了躺在病床上的妹妹，在最后的弥留之际，她笑着跟相片里的他说：“哥哥，谢谢你！因为哥哥，所以我才多活了这么多年啊！”

丁早风听到妹妹朝自己喊哥哥的那一刻，终于忍不住放声哭了起来：“谢谢你，人鱼，谢谢你！”

那首童谣，一直萦绕在房子里，直到范黎背着依然昏迷的出水走出房间。他知道，经过这一次的事件，人鱼应该能获得自由了。
