记得13年前的一个夏天,午后放了学,我和妹妹一起沿着河堤往家走去.突然,妹妹看见河堤边上的竹林里有一朵娇艳的花,她雀跃着两步奔过去,伸手去够那朵花.我怕她踩空掉下去,就注意看了一下她脚下,就在我伸手去拉她衣袖的一刹那,蜷伏于她脚旁一条尺余长的土腹蛇(一种腹部颜色酷似泥土,细小而剧毒的蛇)昂头在妹妹的左脚腕上咬了一口,倏忽一下就隐没了.妹妹只觉得脚腕有点疼,待她低头看时,除了两个细细的、颜色发黑的血点外什么也没看见.从那以后的十几年里,我不曾采过野生的或是养植的任何一朵花,有时实在喜欢,想走近一点去欣赏,总要先留意脚下,完全是一种不自觉的动作.在南方,有一种极常见的花,俗名叫指甲花(据说采摘下来加上明矾捣碎后可以染红指甲),学名“凤仙花”,在英语里叫做“Don’t touch me!”(意译为“别碰我”!).花期过后,在花茎上会长出球状的果实,到果实表皮变成土黄色,里面的花籽变成深褐色时,一旦有什么东西碰到它,球状的果壳就猛然裂开,花籽完全落下.果壳裂开的一瞬间十分灿烂,绝无拖泥带水之态,但这在我看来总觉十分的惨烈. I remember a summer 13 years ago, put in the afternoon school, my sister and I went home along the embankment suddenly all of a sudden, my sister saw the embankment on the edge of the bamboo forest has a tender flower, she jumped with two steps Ben In the past, reaching for that flower, I was afraid that she had gone empty, and noticed that I had looked at her feet as soon as I reached out to pull her sleeve, curled up at her feet, (A snake whose abdomen color resembles the soil, small and highly poisonous) Anger head bites on her sister’s left wrist, and when she suddenly ignores it, her sister only felt a little pain in her ankle when she looked down, A thin, dark-colored blood spot saw nothing outside, and for the next ten years I had never taken any of the wild or cultivated flowers, and I really liked it and wanted to get closer To appreciate, always pay attention to the foot, is a completely unconscious action.In the South, there is an extremely common flower, common name is henna (which is said to pick up alum mashed with red nails), the scientific name “ Impatiens ”, in English called“ Do not touch me! ”(Free translation for“ Do not touch me! ”) After flowering, on the stem Grow a globular fruit to the fruit of the epidermis becomes khaki, the seeds inside become dark brown, once something hit it, the spherical shell suddenly rupture, flower seed completely fall. The moment is very bright, no clear-cut state, but in my opinion always felt very tragic.
