针挑土（芳菲）
从湘西回来，和朋友们说起黑妮；说起在凤凰的偶遇，说起跟她去苗寨跑了一天，看她做的种种事，感慨得很；说想起一句记不全的俗语，“什么什么像针挑土，什么什么像水推沙”，黑妮就是在针挑土；黑妮！黑妮……
一说起黑妮，脑子里一边浮现她朴素清瘦的样子，不知为什么有隐隐的心疼。凤凰是她的故乡，但和我们这些外人在一起，倒是她有几分害羞腼腆。黑妮如今工作、居住在意大利，做湘西扶贫工作的时间不短了。最初是一帮一地助学，先后帮了几十个孩子。前些年申请到一笔经费，设计了“湘援游”这个项目。如今每年都会回来几趟，带来游人，带来捐款；关键是，耐心地、苦口婆心地，教苗族妇女如何保存她们优美的刺绣艺术。“负责任的旅游”，听黑妮说，这一旅游概念正在欧洲兴起，它强调旅行者对目的地生存和文化的责任，在旅游资费中，捐出一部分作为扶持当地可持续发展的基金。
黑妮就在其中做穿针引线的工作。
她在大山里找出苗族传统文化仍保持良好的村寨，从房屋构造、村寨形态、人伦礼仪……最后落实到妇女们的苗绣——这是可以直接带来经济效益的活计。传统苗绣缤纷五彩，灵动有情，但如今在慢慢地退化、消失，机器绣品在泛滥。黑妮，就要跟她们一遍遍地讲，什么是好，什么是不好，不要跟着外面转，要相信你们的祖母和母亲，看着眼前的山水，怀着美好的心愿，做自己创造性的苗绣。
那天，我们上午去的是老家寨，一路颠簸，开了一个多小时，我已经在揪着心开始晕车了。最后步行20分钟进寨。在山间步行其实是美好的，暖暖的冬阳，弯弯曲曲镶嵌在田野中的蛮石路，清新的空气，收割干净的田野……老家寨的妇女已得知黑妮要来，身着节日服装的她们已经聚集等候，先用快乐的迎客歌在院子里欢迎，然后进屋拿出各自的绣品，等黑妮来评判。
看样子情况不乐观。黑妮没有面露喜色，也没有愠色。她还是那么一字一句、认真地批评她们：“这个不好，一看就是跟机器学的。”“这个线不好，要用棉线。我们这次带了些来。”……
黑妮，你这是在做什么？我站在院子里看着这一幕情景，有点发懵。她从那么远跑来,又跑了这么久的山路,就是想通过几句温和的话塑造她们对美和丑的观念吗?堂屋壁板上贴满各种画片,是这个家的装饰墙,也好似所有外来影响的象征:正中一张有些陈旧的毛主席像,把一个更陈旧的大红双喜字贴去了一大半,左边是海南风光照,右边是明星李小龙的赤身拳照,两个胖娃娃图片,一幅小小的西洋画《泉》。
下午去另一个苗寨，又是近两小时车程。“这一个绣得比较好，就是村寨的形态不如老家寨，建了些新房。”黑妮对一个个目的地都很了解。等到回程，太阳已经有倦容了。
晚上我们在沱江边吉夫开的咖啡馆休息聊天。吉夫是湘援游志愿者，今天一路一直是他提着大包的棉线。黑妮的湘援游，就是靠这些当地的志愿者，不取一毫地付出，才运作起来。今天开车的“李万通”，也有自己的公司。
咖啡馆的壁挂上有一个插页，取下一看，是凤凰手绘地图，封面图案取自传统苗绣，那五彩灵动的喜鹊，我看得呆了一下，原来这样好。地图10元一份，买下可算对湘援游的支持，还可得一枚徽章作奖励。我想了想，红着脸买了四份，说回去送朋友。素静的黑妮眼睛亮了。老天！
这有什么用！我心里说。
有没有用，真不知道，但我忘不掉他们。我查了针挑土的俗语，原来是这样说的：“成家好似针挑土，败家好似水推沙”，“赚钱好似针挑土，花钱好似水推沙”，一下把我的心挑亮了！既然世世代代，要成就一件事都这样难，从来就这样难，那么，以难易成败来衡量黑妮们的行为，有什么意义呢？且写下这一短文，送上对她的祝福吧。
