春天是一点一点化开的

迟子建

  立春之时,北纬50度的地方,还是摄氏零下30度的严寒。

  早晨,迎接我的是一夜寒流和冷月、凝结在玻璃窗上的霜花。想必窗花也知道节气变化了吧,这天的霜花不似往日的,总是树的形态。立春的霜花团团簇簇的,很有点儿花园的气象,你能从中看出喇叭形的百合花来,也能看出重瓣的玫瑰和单瓣的矢车菊来。不要以为这样的花儿,一定是银白色的,一旦太阳从山峦中升起来,印着霜花的玻璃窗,就像魔镜一样,散发出奇诡的光辉了。初开的太阳先是把一抹嫣红投给它,接着,嫣红变成橘黄,霜花仿佛被蜜浸透了,让人怀疑蜜蜂看上了这片霜花,把它们辛勤的酿造,撒向这里了。再后来,太阳升得高了,橘黄变成鹅黄,霜花的颜色就一层层地淡下去,浅下去,成了雪白了,它们离凋零的时辰也就不远了,因为霜花的神经,最怕阳光温暖的触角了。

  虽然季节的时针已指向春天。可在北方,霜花却还像与主子有了感情的家奴似的,赶也赶不走。什么时候打发了它们,大地才会复苏。四月初,屋顶的积雪开始消融,屋檐在白昼滴水了,霜花终于熬不住了,撒脚走了。它这一去也不是不回头,逢到寒夜,它又来了。不过来得不是轰轰烈烈的,而是闪闪烁烁地隐现在窗子的边缘,看上去像是一树枝叶稀疏的梅。四月底,屋顶的雪化净了,林间的积雪也逐渐消融的时候,霜花才彻底丢了魂儿。

  在大兴安岭,最早的春色出现在向阳的山坡。嫩绿的草芽像绣花针一样顶破丰厚的腐殖土,要以它的妙手,给大地绣出生机时,背阴山坡往往还有残雪呢。这样的残雪,还妄想着做冬的巢穴。然而随着冰河炸裂,达子香花开了,背阴山坡也绿意盈盈了,残雪也就没脸再赖着了。山前山后,山左山右,是透着清香的树、烂漫的山花和飞起飞落的鸟儿。那蜿蜒在林间的一道道春水,被暖风吹拂得起了鱼苗似的波浪。投在水面的阳光,便也跟着起了波浪,好像阳光在水面打起蝴蝶结了。

  我爱这迟来的春天。因为这样的春天不是依节气而来的,它是靠着自身顽强的拼争,逐渐摆脱冰雪的桎梏,曲曲折折地接近温暖,苦熬出来的。也就是说,极北的春天是一点一点化开的。它从三月化到四月甚至五月,沉着果敢,心无旁骛,直到把冰与雪安葬到泥土的深处,然后让它们的精魂又化做自己根芽萌发的雨露。

  春天在一点一点化开的过程中,一天天羽翼丰满起来了。待它可以展翅高飞的时候.解冻后的大地,又怎能不做了春天的天空呢!
