在夏天，吃晚饭是一件热闹的事。爷爷和奶奶将竹床搬到门外的树底下，将揉面团的案板放在竹床上，我们端着饭碗，围坐在竹床和案板暂时搭建的饭桌旁。晚风在我们身边哼着小曲游荡，飒飒作响的树叶在黄昏里伴奏，萤火虫在菜园里扭着屁股舞蹈。她们似乎坐在舞台中央，表演着怎么吃饭。麦晓杰的家在村子中间，那儿七、八栋房子一字型排开，中间的空隙以花圃连接起来。到了吃晚饭的时候，隔壁左右的人家，家家户户都将竹床搬到门外，从花圃里走出来，身上带着花的倩影，饭菜的香。不在这一条线上隔得稍远一些的人家，到了傍晚时也端着饭碗到这里来凑热闹，比如小芳的一家。
最热闹的还属隔壁的熊爷爷家。晚饭时，熊爷爷坐在竹床边，敞开衣服，叉开腿，一手拿着酒瓶，一手拿着筷子。他一边喝酒一边吃菜还有功夫和站在一边的人聊天，大叔和小叔在熊爷爷的身边坐下，手里握着酒杯打着赤膊陪酒。熊奶奶在厨房里忙碌，大姑和小姑屋里、屋外的穿梭，她们每次出来，熊爷爷面前的案板上便有了新添了的菜。终于，熊奶奶双手在腰前的围裙上擦拭着，一脸笑容的从屋子里走出来，身后跟着端着最后一道菜的大姑和小姑。大姑将菜放在竹床上，然后一家人围坐竹床边开宴。小芳的爸爸、妈妈、哥哥们端着碗在一旁或坐或站着。很多时候，奶奶也拎着板凳坐过去，麦晓杰如同奶奶的尾巴，紧跟其后。爷爷一个人面对着一个硕大的案板，静静地吃饭，有清风和屋里飞来飞去的燕子与他相伴。
左边隔壁依茹的爸爸端着一个茶杯，叼着一根烟，斜签着身子站在第二圈，嘴里的话和手中冉冉的烟一起升起来，飘向人群里。熊爷爷手里的筷子增加了手指的长度，风向标一般，引领着谈话的主流。不一会儿依茹挽着她妈妈的手臂缓缓走来，停在她爸爸的身边，一家人形成一个整体，只见她一手挽着她妈妈的胳膊，一手搭在她爸爸的肩头，圆睁着眼睛看着人群里说话的人。不时还有其他的人加入其中，吃饭已经不仅仅是吃饭。大人们聊着庄稼，自己的经历或着在哪儿听到的趣闻，孩子们聊着老师、同学、游戏，还有必不可少的作业。
小杰最喜欢的还是晚饭之后，熊奶奶和大姑将竹床上的餐具撤离，天空浮现了轮廓模糊的星辰，风吹拂去了脸上的热汗，熊爷爷几杯酒下肚后，开始给大家讲鬼故事。他是一个业余的猎人，农闲的时候在半夜或者黄昏拿着工具到山里去打猎，偶尔拿回来几只野鸡或者野兔还有黄鼠狼。
一群人在星空下围坐在一起，摇着蒲扇，空气里弥漫着淡淡的汗味儿和树叶的馨香。麦晓杰躲在奶奶的怀里，眼珠子挂在眼眶外盯着熊爷爷的脸。灰暗的光影里，熊爷爷黝黑的脸上只看得见一排寒光闪闪的牙，手里的烟头忽明忽灭，如同一只鬼眼。众人一致的安静，静悄悄的听着，蒲扇在空中忽然僵住了。风也趴在地上偷听，树叶停止了嬉闹，屏住了呼吸，夜更深了几分。
一切就绪，熊爷爷翘着二郎腿，一只手搭在膝盖上，身子微微前倾。他深吸一口烟，将指间夹着的香烟停在空中开始讲：“鬼这个玩意儿，我还真遇到了几回。前些天我大半夜的去王老屋下夹子，走到深山里，灯，忽然不亮了。那真是见鬼，也没个月亮，到处乌漆抹黑的，身边的树忽然呜咽的哭起来，那哭声，先是细细的抽搐，然后猛地嚎起来，由远及近，好像直直的钻进人的心里去。呃！”
说到这里，熊爷爷忽然猛地一拍大腿，一声大喊。如同沉寂的夜里忽然平地一声炸雷，众人的心里划过一道闪电，电流顿时爬满了全身。熊爷爷将脸向人群里凑近，滴溜溜的眼珠子，似乎要从眼眶里蹦出来。麦晓杰的脊背一阵发凉，紧紧的抓着奶奶的手。熊爷爷吸一口烟继续说道：“这时对面的山岗上忽然出现一个人影，模模糊糊的看不清楚，我正奇怪呢，难道还有人和我一样也半夜来这儿下夹子？诶？不对啊，一直只有我一个人啊。我这儿正纳闷呢，那影子忽然不见了，我到处寻看。忽然，吓！我的个妈呀！它就在离我不到半米远的地方，轻飘飘的，一个白影儿！头发长的遮住了脸，吊在地上拖着，浮在空中也看不见脚，它慢慢向我靠近。我吓得一身冷汗，心想，这下惨了，遇到鬼了，恐怕没命回去了。”
麦晓杰的手指甲向奶奶的皮肉里又深了几分，死死地盯着熊爷爷的脸，一团阴森森的凉气在脊背上漫爬，心缩成了一团，四周一片寂寂，空气变得薄凉。
熊爷爷停下，沉默一会儿，吸一口烟继续说道：“这鬼啊，跟人似的，你越弱，它就越强。都说人怕鬼三分，鬼怕人七分。我一想这跑是跑不掉了，干脆站定不走啦，于是大吼起来：“妈的，大半夜跑出来吓人，你能吓到我吗？我一个大活人还能怕你这死了的人不成？有本事你过来，我们痛快的干一架，别光站那儿吓人。”我事实上是强撑着胆子，也不敢去看它，没过一会儿，咦，灯忽然又亮了，那树也不哭了。我一想那鬼是被我的气势吓跑了，连忙连滚带爬的跑回来，几天不敢去拿那夹子。”
“真的吗？世界上真的有鬼吗？”大叔瞪着眼睛，一脸森森然的问。
“那回遇到的鬼还是个弱鬼，以前我拉着三元跟我一起去下夹子，遇到一只鬼。哎呀，那可真是个恶鬼，追着我们不放。如果只有我一个人或者只有三元一个人，那惨了，肯定要被那恶鬼捉了去。”熊爷爷将手中那血红的烟头在凳子上敲两下，扫视一番周围人的脸，呵呵一声大笑。空气似乎凝固成了寒冷的冰块，人在冰块里不能动弹，被他的一声笑击碎，从空中纷纷坠落下来。
“我活一辈子没见过鬼，就一次半夜从我小女儿那回来，经过山岗时给吓到了。”熊爷爷隔壁的董奶奶怀抱着她熟睡的孙子继续说道：“那是个秋末，我和我老头子从小女儿那吃饭回来。我们那个电灯啊，不怎么亮，就只能照到一两米远。说也巧啦，诶！那天，天上一团黑没有月亮，也不见半颗星星。经过山岗上那个池塘的时候啊，不知怎的，一种像是在哭又像是在嘶叫的声音由远及近的飘来，它呀，先是远远地，我也没理。我那老头子胆小，轻轻地说道：“咦，这是什么东西在叫啊，不像是野猪也像是豺狼。”他说着怕的跑到我前面去，拿着电灯，闷头往前跑，把我一个人丢在后面，我就想“这也巧啦，我一辈子没见过鬼，难道今天要看看不成。”于是我也就等着看，继续往前走，咦，那声音越来越近，越来越近，就像在你身后，在你耳边，在你的身体里，哭喊的就像要把人给拉了去似的。哎呀，我顿时脊背一阵发凉，后背上就像有一个人紧贴着你，一个冰凉的身子趴在你的背上。我看我那老头子，他拿着电灯就只顾着自己在前面跑，隔我几丈远。我心里那个气啊，怕的对着那鬼大骂起来：“你要干嘛？两个人你还敢那么凶啊？你是什么鬼，这么大胆。”诶！我一吼，那声音就又远了去。经过那次我算是明白了，我嫁给了个窝囊废。”董奶奶说着笑起来，满脸的皱褶掩盖了深陷的眼。
众人听完哄笑起来，熊爷爷叼着烟，一脸严肃的说道：“你说的是那山岗啊，那儿还真是有鬼，前些年，那儿不是死了个孕妇嘛，听说死的很是个惨。”
“怎么死的？”
“时运不好的那几年生孩子死的。”
“我就说嘛，不然怎么那么凶，肯定是心里有怨气，所以不肯去投胎！”董奶奶一脸豁然开朗的样子。
麦晓杰张着眼睛四顾，小施和小芳还有依茹皆竖着耳朵，瞪着茫然的眼睛，死死地盯着说话的熊爷爷。
“奶奶，我好困，我们回家睡觉吧！”小杰仰着头看着奶奶说道。
“这么近，你自己回去吧！”奶奶一副精神抖擞的样子。
“我怕，我怕鬼！”小杰抓着奶奶的手指。
奶奶一声轻笑：“熊爷爷是在讲故事，世界上哪来的鬼，这都是吓小孩儿的。”
“是吗？怎么熊爷爷讲的就像是真的一样？”麦晓杰满腔的疑惑。
夜空下的闲谈继续着，小杰却不知不觉在奶奶的怀抱里睡着，她睡着了，我便有了自由，张开翅膀在星空下飞翔，去探寻那鬼的世界，可惜转了半天，一个鬼影子也没见着。
