紅木書柜的抽屜里,躺著把黃銅鎖,鎖身刻著纏枝蓮紋樣,鑰匙孔處包著層厚厚的包漿。這是奶奶的嫁妝,從 1948 年到現(xiàn)在,它鎖過樟木箱,鎖過米缸,最后鎖著我們家的故事。
小時(shí)候我總愛把玩這把銅鎖。奶奶坐在藤椅上,看著我把鑰匙插進(jìn)鎖孔,“咔噠” 一聲打開,再 “咔噠” 一聲鎖上。陽光照在銅鎖上,反射的光在墻上跳來跳去,像只金色的蝴蝶。“這鎖啊,能鎖住東西,鎖不住人心。” 奶奶的聲音慢悠悠的,像老座鐘的擺錘。
1998 年洪水淹了老家,奶奶最先搶救的就是這把銅鎖。她把鎖揣在懷里,蹚著齊腰深的水往高處走,嘴里念叨著:“這是念想,不能丟。” 后來我們在安置點(diǎn)住了三個(gè)月,她每天都要把銅鎖拿出來擦一遍,鎖身上的水跡被擦得干干凈凈,倒像是鍍了層新漆。
我結(jié)婚那天,奶奶把銅鎖放進(jìn)我的陪嫁箱。“過日子就像用這鎖,得用心保養(yǎng),不然會(huì)生銹。” 她教我怎么給鎖芯上油,怎么用軟布擦拭,手指在銅鎖上摩挲,像是在撫摸一件稀世珍寶。“當(dāng)年你爺爺送我這鎖時(shí)說,鎖住了箱子,也鎖住了他的心。” 說這話時(shí),她的眼里閃著光,像銅鎖反射的陽光。
奶奶走后,我在她的樟木箱底發(fā)現(xiàn)個(gè)布包,里面是銅鎖的保養(yǎng)手冊,每一頁都寫著日期:“1950 年 3 月,給鎖上油。”“1978 年 5 月,擦去銅銹。”“2010 年 10 月,小寶說喜歡這鎖,留給她。” 最后一頁畫著個(gè)小小的笑臉,旁邊寫著:“鎖住愛,不鎖心。”
上個(gè)月整理舊物,女兒好奇地拿起銅鎖。“這是什么呀?” 她學(xué)著我的樣子把鑰匙插進(jìn)鎖孔,“咔噠” 一聲,鎖開了。陽光透過窗戶照在她臉上,也照在銅鎖上,我突然明白奶奶的話 —— 有些東西需要鎖住,比如記憶,比如愛;有些東西卻要敞開,比如心,比如日子。

現(xiàn)在這把銅鎖鎖著女兒的百寶箱,里面放著她的乳牙、第一次畫的畫,還有我寫的這篇文章。每次聽見 “咔噠” 聲,我就知道,有些故事正在被好好珍藏,就像奶奶當(dāng)年做的那樣。
