消失的“将军村”

孙浩然

在牟平区高陵镇的西南，有一座北石山。此山草木葱茏、风景秀丽，山前有一条大河终年水流潺潺，蜿蜒西行。山的西坡曾有一片韩家茔，茔地的附近曾有一个韩家村。

明洪武年间，一个南方的阴阳先生路经此地，眼睛一亮，对附近的村民说：“这是一块风水宝地，可做茔地，择此做茔的家族后人必出两员武将。”当时在场的村民见此人衣衫褴褛、尖嘴猴腮，便权当狂人呓语，不做理睬。唯有一个姓韩的老人觉得此阴阳先生道骨仙风，虽然神道，却不令人讨厌，便留他住在家中，好生侍候，求教甚多。不多久，两人成为莫逆，言谈甚是投机。

一日酒后，韩老汉请阴阳先生为自己择茔地，为家运指点迷津。阴阳先生沉吟半天说：“确有风水宝地，只是天机不可泄露……”韩老汉闻言喜形于色，斟满酒杯，双手递上。“请先生明点，我不会亏待你的！”已有八分醉意的阴阳先生却举杯不饮，犹豫了半天，道：“泄露了天机，必遭受惩罚，日后我可如何是好啊？”韩老汉也不含糊，立马答复为阴阳先生养老送终，就是自己死了，也必定叫子女待你如待己一样。“如若食言，天诛地灭！”韩老汉立下了毒誓。“也罢，咱哥俩也算是有缘，我就破例指点一条明路，你俯耳过来。”阴阳先生一饮而尽。

天有不测风云，韩老汉仙去了，后人便把他葬在阴阳先生择的那片茔地里。在下葬那天，韩家后人抠穴时，发现一青石板，掀开后，下方有一洼清水，水中有两条活蹦乱跳的河虾，家人甚是惊奇，遂在陰阳先生的指点下修好了坟墓。

几月后，韩老汉的两个儿子科考高中，双双被封为御林军统领，官居三品，常侍皇帝左右，俸禄甚为丰厚。韩家处处张灯结彩，日夜歌舞奏乐，整整热闹了三天三夜。至此，人们才如梦初醒，这阴阳先生真的有道行，韩老汉这家伙也是眼力不凡。

不多久，阴阳先生的眼睛瞎了，生活不能自理，只能依附在韩家老宅里混吃等死，终日无所事事。常言道，得志猫儿雄过虎，落毛的凤凰不如鸡。开始过的还好，时间长了，韩家的后人便嚣张起来，那些狗仗人势的奴仆则更加蛮横，对阴阳先生的态度也越来越差。可怜的瞎眼先生，终日抑郁烦闷，以泪洗面。

这天夜里，在一场激烈的冲突之后，绝望中的阴阳先生偷偷溜出了韩家，摸索着来到韩家茔，找到韩老头的坟地，抠开坟墓，取出青石板，将石板下方水洼中的两条河虾捞出，拦腰掐为两段，又捧起清水洗了洗眼睛，啊，眼睛竟然复明了！阴阳先生一阵唏嘘，喃喃说道：“善有善报，恶有恶报，不是不报，时候未到！”随后，把韩老汉的坟培上土，恢复原样，作了个揖，从此远走他乡，下落不明。

几天后，红极一时的韩氏兄弟触犯了国法，锒铛入狱，满门抄斩，诛灭九族。在抄家之前，韩家后人得到了消息，提前将全部家财变卖为金银珠宝，投入韩家茔附近的一口深井，填土封口后，匆匆逃往他乡，结果不得而知。

时至今日，韩家村早已荡然无存，但家乡仍然流传着这样一句谚语：挖了韩家这口井，能值山东一个省。由此可以想象韩家村当时的辉煌。

In the southwest of Gaoling Town in Muping District， there is mountain called Beishi Mountain with verdant vegeta-tions and beautiful scenery. In front of the mountain， there is a large river winding its way westward with flowing wa- ter all the year round. On the western slope there used to be a family graveyard of the Han’s. Nearby the family graveyard was a village called Hanjiazhai Village.

During the reign of Emperor Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty， when a geomancer from the south passed by this place， his eyes lit up and he said to the nearby villagers， “This is a treasure land and can be used as a graveyard. The descendants of the family who choose this place as their graveyard will produce two generals in the future.” Seeing that he was dressed in rags and ugly-looking， the villagers did not take his words seriously， believing that he was giving utter nonsense. Among the villagers there was an old man with the surname of Han， who felt that this geomancer， with an air of immortals， was somewhat weird but not annoying. So the old man invited the geomancer to stay at his home and entertained him well to seek much advice. Before long， the two became intimate friends and talked about everything under the sun.
