趟过门前一条河

何荣芳

       ①门前本没有河,今年梅雨季节老天太任性,硬是把一条宽阔的街道变成了一条汪洋大河。

       ②老林下了大夜班,骑了电瓶车驶到厂门口就吓了一大跳。马路上的积水就像放了学的孩子,你追我赶地跳跃着奔远。他就知道住在老城区的娟子一定被困住了。

       ③娟子是他的前妻,既任性又没有主见。两年前因为老林把一笔存款当肉包子砸在股市了,她就整天地吵,吵着吵着就离了婚。

       ④老林一手举着雨伞,一手拎着衣摆,在齐大腿的水中摸索着。

       ⑤他收了伞,湿漉漉地站在6幢一单元的楼梯口,使劲地甩着伞上的雨珠。

       ⑥102室的门拉开一道缝,伸出娟子乱蓬蓬的脑袋。一看是老林,她就去推门,老林赶紧伸出一只脚挡住了要关的门。他看见娟子一脸的倦容,关切地问:“风湿又犯了?”

       ⑦娟子垂下眼睑,一副要哭的样子。

       ⑧“我来接你出去,还有几天雨哩,你住这里不方便。”

       ⑨娟子手上便不再使劲,门豁然开了。“进来吧。”娟子说。

       ⑩老林看着自己的脚,不进,他知道娟子有洁癖。“你收拾几件换洗的衣服吧,你去你妹妹家也行,去旅馆也行。如果愿意去我那里,我就去厂里住几天宿舍。”

       ⑪娟子杵在那里不动,好像在生老天的气。老林软语哄道:“你就快点吧,我这里都在打哆嗦了呢。”娟子瞥一眼他紧贴在腿上的湿裤子,立即进卧室去了,不一会儿就背出一只鼓囊囊的包,头发也梳得光光溜溜。

       ⑫关了门,娟子就犹犹豫豫的:“带上陈嫂吧,她一个人怪可怜的。”

       ⑬老林抹了一把脸上的雨水,呵呵笑了两声,笑得很干巴。娟子担心老林还没有原谅陈嫂,陈嫂当初可没少往娟子的耳朵吹阴风,要不,娟子也不会吵得那么厉害。娟子偷偷瞟一眼老林,见他眼角眯起一叠细纹,就放心地去敲101的门。

      ⑭101的门开了,露出陈嫂一张核桃似的脸。看见老林,她想缩回已来不及,只好尴尬地冲老林笑笑:“来了?”

      ⑮“来看看。”

      ⑯“这雨下的……”陈嫂发愁地看着外面的雨帘。

      ⑰“听预报说,还有几天这样的大雨呢。你怎么还不搬呢?”

      ⑱“搬到哪里去?小狗日的翅膀硬了,飞了,哪里还管我的死活?”陈嫂嘴上抱怨着,脸上的沟壑里流淌着无奈。

      ⑲“我们一道吧,去他那里住几天再说。”娟子朝老林努努嘴。

      ⑳陈嫂眼睛亮了一下,立即又暗了,像萤火虫躲进了草丛里。

     “你和娟子到我那里住几天吧。没事。”老林朝陈嫂笑着,笑容干干净净。

     娟子和陈嫂跟在老林身后走进了雨帘里。走到街河边,老林在娟子面前弯下身子,把宽阔的脊背亮到她面前。娟子怔了怔,很温顺地趴了上去。一个警察立即走过去来,向陈嫂伸出一只壮实的胳膊。

    老林背着娟子过河慢慢地趟着水,好像背着一件瓷器。娟子趴在他背上,撑着伞。雨点砸在伞上,嘭嘭有声,行板如歌。雨点打在水面上,激起一朵一朵的水泡泡,水面上便浮了一层白莲花。

     后来,有“雨点”滑落到老林的颈脖里,暖暖的。

    Killer whales in Alaska's Bering Sea have figured out an easy way to get fed. Instead of seeking out the fish them- selves, the clever whales chase down fishing boats and steal the entire catch of the day, as much as 20,000 to 30,000 pounds.

    Killer whale “thieves” are not a new phenomenon. Japanese fishermen have reported being followed by killer Whales since the 1950s. However, the increasing frequency of whale fish theft in the Bering Sea's continental shelf is now threatening the livelihood of fishermen.

    Paul Clampitt, a local fisherman, says his crew tried to keep the whales away with loud sounds. Though that worked for a short time, the whales now consider the noise “ a dinner bell”. Jay Herbert tried using sonar to keep the whales away. He also met with little success. According to the experienced fisherman, the smart whales deliberately seek out longliners (延绳钓渔船), and, all the first opportunity presented to them, steal the fish, leaving behind just the lips of the fish caught!

    NOAA Fisheries biologist John Moran is not surprised at the whales' thieving skill. The expert says whales are skilled hunters who can distinguish the sounds of different boats and even recognize the sounds of the operating system that places the fishing equipment into the ocean. The expert jokes, “ Grabbing a fish off a line is nothing.” Since they are social animals, it is easy for whales to pass their skills on to others.

    Killer whales are not the only whale species that have learned to steal from humans. In the Gulf of Alaska, sperm whales also conduct similar thefts. Longline fishermen off Washington, Chile, Australia, Hawaii, and many other countries have reported similar incidents. There is, unfortunately, no easy fix to this problem. One of the possible solutions is using pot traps similar to the ones used to catch crabs. However, the cost of switching from longline to pot fishing is too high, especially for small-scale fisheries. There is also no guarantee that the catch will be safe from the intelligent whales which, many fear, will eventually figure out how to open the pots!
