Forreferenceonly:
衣服包很大,比平时更大。
妇人将那一大包衣服驼在肩上,包袱把她的身子完全盖住了。
一开始,她稳住脚,好像随时都会在大包袱的重压下倒下。
但似乎有一种内在的毅力在呼唤,让她挺住,不能倒下。
一头驴可以允许自己被重压压垮,但人为万物之灵,则不可趴下。
她渐渐走远,母亲叹了口气,默默为她祈祷。
两个多月过去了。
冰雪消融后,冰雪又至,新一阵寒潮袭来。
一天晚上,母亲正坐在油灯旁补衣衫,门突然被推开,一团小小的雾气引领着一个巨大的包袱进了屋子。
我跑上前去帮老太太卸下包袱。
她愈加消瘦,背更驼了。
她不停地晃着脑袋,像在说太过分了。
她连话都说不清楚,从瘪陷的嘴中透过苍白的嘴唇嘟哝了几声。
