迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y3uSYoWNC
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvoUa1H6Hm
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ljFLxdGM8
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37wAkqd7Ud
杜若四肢著地地爬出櫥櫃，然後回過頭托著紫藤的肩膀離開那片狹小的黑暗。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsQKlQVx2b
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9bTY1wTql
兩人並著肩在階梯旁仰起頭喘著氣，久違地照進眼裡的燈光刺眼眩目，但再怎麼說也比不見天日的黑暗要來得令人安心。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNQxw9QFYJ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchN24sZkaO
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdf1E7p7xP
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOT8eRKZSW
就連喘息的時間也如同光明般狹窄，兩人不可能在這再休息到早晨來臨。於是，杜若一感覺到力氣開始回流到四肢時，就起身伸出手牽起虛弱的紫藤。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NbB2JNgJr
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8I5uwz4DC
「走吧。我們一起回去。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4WSloVPFf
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKvbSbhina
這麼說了之後，杜若便鑽進紫藤的脅下，用窄小的肩頭努力撐起紫藤向前。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsnyqn1DWe
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dzuJSCXQU
一路上，兩人就這樣攙扶著彼此，幸運地毫無阻礙便回到了西區。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqQPwDXH5f
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55TaZA0OGp
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUga5RNKQ1
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIuyFdTYLI
「嗚……！」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6llZak1gGU
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DZtfqWsgr
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYCS6dskiq
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BiiWi5wgG
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc8qt9Qo2V
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70MSWdLR5Y
回到西區的路上，紫藤甚至虛弱到就連話都沒辦法說了。所以哪怕只是一聲也好，杜若也想要聽見紫藤的聲音。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK256ANGb23
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN4ieXkdIr
而痛楚彷彿把紫藤的魂給拉了回來，宛如大夢初醒般地看了杜若和手中的棉花棒後，紫藤才喘著氣、略略地頷首。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq0MLE6nR4
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCDq8qtnH3
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTQFGbq0fo
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Kv4bdLCwA
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX1SaRoUPB
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCabjoMDVw
如果不是自己想要聽信墨駒，也不會讓墨駒有機可趁了——但現在後悔也沒有用，照顧受傷的紫藤才是眼下應該做的事。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M3B0tsEDo
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TGLb1daOD
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe5NMHOd2P
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfU9sLb288
「呼、呼……嗚——！」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bx94wDjQq
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsGKDEdhKb
紫藤試著吸氣來緩和疼痛，卻還是沒辦法不吃痛地發出聲音來。清潔並上完藥後，杜若小心地用紗布蓋起那道駭人的傷口並纏上繃帶，原本純白的繃帶立刻就被染成了一片暗紅。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKBEgbxWQt
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHbNPOxckM
現在只能做這樣的應急處理，等到明天還是得去醫院才行。幸好公用醫療箱裡頭還有這些基本的醫療用品，不然就這樣放著傷口，今晚紫藤恐怕連躺下都會有困難。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuhGQgbVGN
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQSVvR9stf
疼痛過了幾次呼吸才終於緩和下來。杜若拿來水杯靠在紫藤的嘴巴上，讓紫藤小口小口地補充水分。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1JAzICd3E
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6REeup7KuK
滋潤冰涼地滑過喉間，直到此時、紫藤才終於有種放下心來的感覺。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqkB7qApNs
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17UFUR31r1
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZi1tzYiXr
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj79kuRv56K
杜若關心的神情就好像是流經喉頭的水那樣沁入了紫藤的胸口。於是紫藤點點頭，再次把嘴湊了過去。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlXlv8r8Kt
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJIJQ0SNwk
等到杯子空了、正想伸手擦乾嘴角時，杜若就先一步用手帕抹上了紫藤的嘴角。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GUAW4r3u7
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QLcpmATCl
「……謝謝。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxKA26WV8q
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuxa8bOZ7r
「不會啦，現在也輪到我照顧紫藤了。」杜若收起手帕，露出了彷彿可以烘乾衣服的溫暖笑容。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ813ayigwkF
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FcWV0GnHo
明明、對方不久前才在自己的面前殺了人，但現在看著杜若的側臉，紫藤卻盡只感到安心跟鬆了一口氣的感覺一湧而上。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF21O4etLp
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztvNAqlHCN
是自己終於開始習慣了嗎？那時，紫藤的手上就已經流滿鮮血，卻只有砸在墨駒臉上時所沾上的溼黏感格外鮮明。就好像在入睡前的一場夢境，令紫藤感到有些恍惚。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHbGWWNMf9
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmynh0sh6cL
不過，這無疑都是事實。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZdQTls7S9
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBYaehZtWN
掌心中，那枚墨駒沒能拿回去的、鑲著淡紫色寶石的銀戒就是最好的證據。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6js1bbGigU
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAyPI2qzit
紫藤壓根也沒想到有能夠尋回這枚戒指的一天。對紫藤來說、只受這點傷就找回了它簡直是太划算了。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDlA12haFv
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iilSNv6SQ
「紫藤、這個戒指到底是……？」杜若好奇地看著手中的戒指，疑惑地歪過頭。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwZMIjdWAA
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFAv9BrCmM
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjZJ7oACG5
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAk3HlnmMk
「是我媽媽的遺物。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRvZEIXdzl
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2RLZpyGbW
戒指的內緣刻著一行寫著母親名字的小字，證明了這就是那枚獨一無二的戒指。雖然紫藤對父親沒有任何印象，但母親卻經常以懷念的面容提起關於父親的事情。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O0lEH8M29
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJWTQF2eap
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST4deQPO1r
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwvjyX5PbY
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto7ZW0jzJ1
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCxUWyUJKV
紫藤從來不曾對同輩的人說過這些事，但現在、紫藤卻覺得讓杜若知道也無妨。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9E6lU5cKa
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOIpGd6Apu
「可是媽媽他、就是被沙華會的人給殺死的。」就好像在試圖壓下傷口的灼熱似地，紫藤輕撫著前臂的紗布，緩緩地繼續說道：369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7LmnJygUS
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAeVzn4WId
「小時候，我的媽媽曾經向沙華會借過錢。但最後，媽媽卻因為還不出錢來……而被沙華會給殺了。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIQJ83TIe1
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJctkGBVuh
媽媽並不是沒辦法還出錢來，只是在最後一刻、錢竟然被劫走了。紫藤怎麼想都覺得奇怪、為什麼就這麼剛好在那種時候？如今，紫藤認為那一切全都是沙華會的伎倆，他們根本沒有想讓母親還清債務的意思，只想在那一年裡壓榨完母親所有的心力、等到沒價值了就宰殺掉而已。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ5BUcpItg
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QG1iLWeB9
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLEy6jSsKG
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9Y98HhLi5
紫藤至今——至死都不會忘記母親在自己的眼前被殺掉的畫面。年幼的自己只能無力地躲在一旁，看著母親殘忍地被一刀刀殘殺至死。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeoHv8HAPo
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TZKHdSQyf
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6IbUH0FXB
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKizwd1iolX
只是，紫藤也從未想過竟然會在途中找到母親生前的遺物，紫藤覺得自己簡直幸運的無以復加。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60ZrgCRJQ3
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgvRpY6rdC
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VH1X1C8NU
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYttFdfYPVW
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTU8UaYlNA
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo0yGizEjA
對紫藤來說，媽媽所留下的東西沒有一個不是珍貴的。無論是這個房間、髮飾、還是這枚戒指，都是媽媽曾經存在過的證明。哪怕再也微不足道，紫藤也想要盡可能地將它們攬在手中。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNGqMkizb3
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2ltGFMADO
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKPAww3dEh
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4UMZgsnmp
「紫藤的媽媽是個什麼樣的人、可以跟我說說嗎？」杜若露出了既好奇又害怕冒犯的眼神、試探地探出腦袋。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6magXEJNH
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELtNMiOq3e
紫藤思考地垂下了眼簾幾秒。而再次睜開眼時，紫藤已經將目光放到了不知遙遠的何處。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyIYUPQK0h
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cXEVOpOEh
「媽媽他——」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7neETdSaus
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMkb2mEbEm
以這句話做為開場白後，紫藤便將那些早已被自己翻到泛黃的回憶給拿了出來。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHivFQ6iU90
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATRThV4uPD
小時候，紫藤最常從街上的大叔大嬸嘴聽到的一句話就是「跟媽媽很像」。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyCLCA2ZAP
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOTNobVAlP
同樣有著一頭的黑色長髮、話也同樣不怎麼多。而唯一不同的，就是媽媽是個非常堅強的女性，總是用那粗糙而修長的手把紫藤給攬在身後。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa5F7eh8eL
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFpwRYSrmM
而媽媽在南區有間小小的、買賣布料的店面，小時候的紫藤最喜歡的就是跟在媽媽後頭一起做生意。儘管有時候會因為笨手笨腳而挨其他大叔大嬸的罵，但那卻是紫藤最為快樂的一段時光。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nWcRnmo6G
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMJCdJbK2l
只是在紫藤逐漸長大後，媽媽卻漸漸不希望紫藤跟著自己，而想要把紫藤託付給學校。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSAGzcQpx3
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmKwu85zJn
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xkr9hoc6b
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4stbeb15d
比起那些吵吵鬧鬧又喜歡惡作劇的小孩子，紫藤更喜歡跟在可靠卻寡言的媽媽後頭，幫忙結帳、整理或是裁剪布料。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUel59kFyb
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrHvowRlog
對當時的紫藤而言，媽媽這麼做就好像是想要把自己給拋棄一樣。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaHmhWa5Ri
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWosRQuzbre
於是紫藤頭一次跟媽媽吵架了。那是一場紫藤單方面地對著媽媽出氣的架，從頭到尾媽媽都只是靜靜地傾聽著紫藤的任性，偶爾像在思考著什麼地低下頭來。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FkGFGoHJT
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbazsXQ2gOn
而在那之後，媽媽就再也沒有要紫藤去上學了。只是摸摸紫藤的頭以後，就像以前一樣，讓磕磕絆絆的紫藤跟在自己的後頭做生意。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0mR8H9qXJ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeLCOi6aAV
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCrPHYdA2e
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7VRhF1QIq
然而這樣的日子持續不久。在一個秋天的傍晚、鉛炭鎮發生了一起極其嚴重的意外。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQF8ybJEXk
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ175rxMj5TT
那是一起倒塌事件。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGoB0rM8dN
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WND0nmDIF
由於鉛炭鎮的樓房蓋的十分緊密，因此只要一棟樓倒塌，便極容易引發連鎖效應。那起倒塌事件就現在的記載，足足有將近二十棟的樓房倒塌、傷亡數更是難以記載。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8Mkr7gYrz
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXUyrUIuMy
雖然沒有受到倒塌事件的直接傷害，但媽媽的店面卻因此全毀，讓兩人頓時失去了幾乎所有的財產。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOkcJCwK7W
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SFWRdYmLZ
那之後就如紫藤所說，媽媽為了生存而選擇向沙華會借貸。在那一年裡，媽媽幾乎從未闔眼休息、只為了賺回損失的財產。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZMlp8v7Lh
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27bz48iTI8
那時的媽媽早已面容枯槁。而殘忍地將其心力、金錢、生命盡數奪走的惡意，正是沙華會。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47hnZElK66
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zfV2c9PPg
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlF9RtdQ5Y
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ9umoad8A
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB0Qjze5XV
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1YjLX4u7z
「然後，殺了他。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZRAaT2XCy
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxjCy2gjyp
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9hdGhqz9Q
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3uBBzIKgH
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnhumnxZaA
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1kJI5XFJz
「可是、我卻下不了手。」紫藤無力地鬆開了手：「不管怎麼樣……我都沒辦法像杜若妳那樣。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwuZI3eCOX
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTSXF1zs3e
明知道沙華會是惡，紫藤卻無法真的對那群敗類下殺手。也許正是因為那時媽媽遭到殺害的畫面烙印得太過深刻，紫藤才會下意識地抑制著、不讓那副景象再次出現吧。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fwp63txQ6
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYvjt908qd
而自己的這份軟弱，既沒有人可以幫助紫藤克服，也不會有人能夠理解——除了杜若。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4eOMzlm1o
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGltMiWDjDQ
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINnoFD0NoP
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3kpLHdOjf
「……嗯。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXsAieuYtd
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpT3zhGWqe
那時見到的杜若是如此純粹，就好像一把剛從水中淬出的刀刃般，不帶著任何一絲污穢。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySsbyyTYSf
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoSLl439iG
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUxNyjmijV
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfI8UE349m
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8X8EI8Spr
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIyBbCZl35
「……杜若妳呢？」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLz8gTT8rN
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiRzeiTK8S
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow7fMDOsqn
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4OpSW9jhq
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n5YiwXaSR
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRNzKR9ntP
剛才、杜若確實說過想要請鎮裡最好的醫生，但杜若看起來並不像是患有什麼嚴重疾病或是殘缺的樣子。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QttY86Q3k
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde5qEynMK2
聽見紫藤的疑問，杜若就好像是在思考、也像是在害怕似地垂下了眼簾。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRufoY9aBgm
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBQpU0VU6Q
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RJ5cyzsVC
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I2NzNrJFL
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwQDlEyVJc
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbeL7AXjrg
但如果是要請醫生，怎麼樣也不會是做不好的事吧？紫藤這麼想著，舉起沒受傷的手摸了摸杜若的頭頂。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiei63xnBo
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSNdniJoTc
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpW31NiWtk
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKT00Y9FdR
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gIZdpDmLV
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb4l0NQGcX
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJVKmwTMF9
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPxH4RRCP4
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYR3w7STfB
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYaXkYkPwp
之前見到陶壺叔確實是在北大街，但陶壺叔本人看上去並沒有多大的病痛呀？369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6i2nv9DdR
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6Bgf5aWfx
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfvhFjOsgK
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HWx52j03y
「陶壺叔生的是一種會讓身體漸漸沒辦法動的病。醫生說，雖然現在只有手指，但很快就會變成手、腳、身體……最後是心臟。只要過不了四年，陶壺叔就會被那種病給殺死了。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY2KRaE1s3
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNSL79cObx
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN2JcJA4fT
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6exvtOZNgW
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4VOv7RKVk
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ecPY9RWVL
「我也偷偷問了很多醫生，但他們都說那是一種沒辦法治好的病。明明是這樣，但陶壺叔從來都沒跟我說過、還一直都笑著裝作沒事。直到我不小心聽到其他醫生跟白鵑提到陶壺叔，我才知道陶壺叔一直都瞞著我。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UUPQzHpd0
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK60nQYmKLP
「現在陶壺叔已經沒辦法走很長的路、也不太能拿重的東西了。」杜若的口氣變得哀傷起來，卻也有一份同等重量的不甘心。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5mfDQ44zd
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ6OUw4cI0
「我明明也想要幫忙陶壺叔的，可是、我卻不知道自己到底該怎麼做才好——因為就連醫生都沒辦法了嘛。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyXE3lGH6d
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmtHJyUf1D
杜若的笑只看得見無力。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT83ksQYk7p
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pUy7Cvlg2
「直到有天，狐狸告訴我說她有辦法，但前提就是要幫忙她去殺掉那些人。所以，狐狸才發給了我這把槍、還有手機。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvS4ZVL3NU
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUXlZqGRWS
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpIKqobTmM
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnYYDKbTLo
並不是因為仇恨，也不是因為利益，而只是單單地想要為某人而付出。杜若的理由就跟個性一樣是如此單純、甚至令紫藤的胸口刺痛。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWuAkFf7J0
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFybgYp01yq
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3ErylPeT5
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuHRj898bA
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYfakKC5N8
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0cTvzZkTc
如果就連鎮裡最優秀的人都沒辦法了，狐狸又怎麼可能醫好陶壺叔的病？再者，就算殺死的是沙華會的人，讓還只是女孩的杜若去持槍犯險本身就很荒謬。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshGeOeWqJR
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdKbB8rTt9
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgJmz3u0y3
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcz0mpwS1A
杜若笑了。卻讓人分不清那是真的笑容、還是在故作堅強，讓紫藤的鼻子裡無聲地滑過一陣酸楚。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vCmSAP7i9
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWHaIuK3ZM
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qxu1mKVZ5
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg0Vjg3JD7
杜若就好像在對自己喊話似地緊緊握起拳頭，但小小的手中、有的卻只有虛無。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqJ9Cl9CHu
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI7yAyxuPc
也許這麼說太過自以為是，但紫藤從這道笑容裡看到的並不是想要相信、而是不得不相信。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq4RFd9wCx
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46etqP4vEy
只因為狐狸的許諾是杜若的最後一絲曙光。所以杜若除了抓住它以外也別無他法——僅僅就只是如此而已。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy45NFy5ZrU
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTE0m8V3hI
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJGNhil47o

紫藤也曾望著母親的背影被偽裝成曙光的惡火給吞噬殆盡。但只因為如此，就可以不負責任地說聲「放棄吧」把一切希望給澆熄嗎？369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s9aC0rWTJ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9vH6owjiM
這怎麼可能。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwhOdZzvBR
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpW0NoRxTH
沒有人知曉光芒的後頭是陽光亦或是惡火，但倘若停止腳步、也只會在黑暗消逝。無論是誰，追逐光芒都是與生俱來的本能。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdGn9JbaGc
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu3k5FUzHx
看著杜若緊握的手，紫藤便不捨地伸出手、略顯生硬地鑽進了那冰涼而纖弱的掌心。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aJldv6OHh
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYrHPYkjmm
也許，杜若一直都是握著這樣飄渺晃蕩的希望走來，但起碼現在、紫藤能夠確實地握住杜若。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR8mFZHvXe
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum5d1wHNU4
如果杜若前進的方向是惡火，那紫藤就要在最近的地方拉住杜若。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG8PXNhbRT
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW0XlaOF6L
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKwQSvRGYV
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfpt6l1QCi
轉動手腕、解開五指，那份只屬於兩人相握時的溫熱便從掌心蔓延到了指縫369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wqk2EdHAm
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ738Ql0n4MG
「但就算這樣，我也還是想自己去試試看。」經過短暫的沉澱，杜若再次充滿生氣地抬起頭來。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCzYWm95Rg
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrmGKR4s1Z
「我想只要有夠多的錢的話，也許就可以把大家一起找來、找出能夠馬上醫好陶壺叔的辦法了！」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zCKzKgROf
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCbtD3ZSlI
剛才籠罩著的陰鬱被一掃而空，杜若看著紫藤，露出了開朗的笑容。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ml8LMaCzu
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqBW6T8UOl
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMyCs1pqJe
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQc84Fn3Jn
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzwFxFilb0
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6TdvmvSWd
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHTaIXnuie
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjxIaQsRxv
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDTOtAL4sp
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9xcnqT5DL
這問題讓紫藤才想起自己從沒有跟杜若——不、甚至是從沒有跟任何人說過這件事。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QT1NOMK0E
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi852KMI5F
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQbKJDgrXU
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSdsMaHOOB
從腦海深處的角落翻出這片景象。那人在殺害媽媽時，紫藤只有一瞬間記下了那個至今都從未看見第二次的特殊紋身。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs8O8xCviD
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dZr7KRhc5
「沙華會的紋章幾乎都是鮮紅色的、有白色條紋的紋身……我就只見過那麼一次。但不管我怎麼找、那個人卻就好像消失了一樣，再也沒有出現過。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oQAT3KupF
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNbNdonSnF
而唯一有可能知道的墨駒已經被殺了，但紫藤並不感到後悔。比起狡獪的他們，紫藤更寧願靠自己的手去搜索。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFvSBeWtlf
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWGMgBxRK3
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6iEoH4ocL
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2WjfjCtXT
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEsvZ1CSvy
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxDU9MZYlb
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6ndJUO1kq
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgap5OZyTe
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64f8VAaUCq
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITsVeSCRC0
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7S4kEmfHV
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4wWqPJUv1
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYnInPGrCt
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv917IqBHo
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2nobvabRr
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuTuT59b4F
「這本來就是我自己的事。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z5KEWW97y
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYGOMPa0C5
就算杜若能夠輕鬆地下殺手，但自己的復仇跟杜若是兩回事。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA40hUQsCj6
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEJ2pOpo4y
紫藤很清楚自己的眼前只有惡火。而單單只是殺手的任務就已經足夠危險，杜若根本沒有必要為此承擔這些危險。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tfASjJBv1
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW3Wxm2Tx9
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2gQGIdNpi
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8gSKZGFoY
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb0zJOSZYs
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisTGbf8fuU
紫藤明白杜若的擔憂。但紫藤正是為了不讓自己在完成復仇前先被吞沒，才用盡了心力去磨練自己。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCipIUz4oNi
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLhGfjr4il
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZfA8e54Az
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctpns0VAN3
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf7icF7i2m
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKOPEdtIIx
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgUQvY1Mju
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC5qjbdjdQ
看見紫藤一副無所謂的模樣，杜若更是焦急到話都說不清楚了。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv1Q0p4zk1
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAetmtUUiXH
紫藤沒能給出杜若期待的回應。卻還是於心不忍地輕握住了杜若的手。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYbeyZdJlh
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44VVOHDIYz
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII10GqHG3G
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXGjkf0MMr
「明明、明明紫藤也硬是摻進了我的事情，現在卻又說這種話、這樣真的太不公平了……」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAxEldbuHR
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABadFNENcR
杜若像個鬧彆扭的孩子一樣發起脾氣，但鬧彆扭的人卻總是最認真的。也因此，紫藤才無從反駁。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG7N4LZE61
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7xjHQSef8
是啊，明明就是自己先不講理地要杜若帶著自己的，這樣又有什麼資格拒絕杜若呢？369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf4XwHl2lE
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYHpacAost
但就算不公平也好，紫藤之所以握著杜若的手，絕非是要杜若陪著自己跳進火海。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPUad1lcID
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O1vKt1b78
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVhOCCeKvp
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah6yeKMPS1
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8f8DUKYl5
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WhuJzQ8VU
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2qWsM5VXl
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYagwUEvQPs
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8enYoD1e7
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu7W8GsFJn
在八年前的那個夜晚、紫藤也是那樣地看著母親被一刀刀殘殺致死——明明注視著、卻什麼也做不了的無力是多麼令人痛苦，紫藤比任何人都還要明白。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftGa1Pzr3Q
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCcBOkwvTn
杜若也正是因為這樣的痛苦，才選擇了這條看似荒謬的道路。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GWqPSPf3s
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwKCKrjoCV
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzocSzu4I0C
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrHj0Cnxv2
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22s7e7VABp
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3ipoY59L9
看見杜若受傷，自己會感到痛苦。而看見自己受傷，杜若會感到痛苦。然而若是因此什麼也不做，又有誰能夠替枉死的母親報仇雪恨？369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIDQBDmNfl
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjftA5nAaWO
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIzCFqLx4R
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEPgO3zAKc
如今，在這條路上有個願意走到身旁攜手並進的人，又為何不欣然接受就好？369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWLU7OP2hJ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsWWlRYNJo
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcxvps1Lsm
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRWluB8xGT
但、當初不就是因為明白自己沒辦法獨自走完腳下的路，所以才會自顧自地跟在杜若後頭不是嗎？369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfPncE3LW6
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMYtXDmic9
如果說想要把什麼東西給握在手裡、就免不了被刺出鮮血。那麼起碼受傷的方式可以交由彼此來抉擇。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEp3bSAnvf
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWfiSv88sH
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrxVA8gdBZ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kFZee8UCY
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ00GvcOFV
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahHgJrMMlc
紫藤不帶一絲玩笑地注視著杜若的雙眼，而看見紫藤的神情，杜若才終於破涕為笑。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiXAnWdM7X
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG405H2KLF7
「可是，紫藤會保護我的吧？這樣我的份不就用不到了？」杜若歪著頭反問。然後扣緊了紫藤安放在腿上的手。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYajXD5USEU
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSTlzkQK3d
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4dphUmUqi
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtWQWo6DxQ
紫藤雖沒有點頭，卻還是回望著對方微微笑，回握住指縫間的柔軟。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC8ENz6ks1
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbjOLDf7FM
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUwVCOSDOs
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQmqrKryTO
頭一次看見紫藤的笑容，讓杜若欣喜地舉高手，卻不小心拉起了紫藤負傷的前臂而使紫藤臉色一緊。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz0aoxlRDH
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY0PBaUmZT
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujdYIX9pPi
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb3VJh8G4p
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuK3OcZjrc
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN3BUtljkY
「……對了！」這時，杜若突然靈機一動地眼神一亮：「不知道可不可以請狐狸幫紫藤找找看呢？」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4przOEHlsh
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUO3DfZ81j
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlBsJxZIBy
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQJs9ZVxt1
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TrfLN0UZb
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIheRHFcP8l
應該說如果那個狐狸不擅長，就不可能精確地知道目標的出沒地點與時間吧。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYohzr4OLEt
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C41htib3E
紫藤確實沒想到這個方法——不，更應該說是刻意忽略掉了才是。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkLNkFVUhN
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUx4lJU9Wq
紫藤還是沒辦法相信一個就連臉都沒見過、還讓杜若做這麼危險的事情的人。把這樣重要的任務託付給對方真的妥當嗎？光是想的就有種不踏實感。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iqZ0CI1U2
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIkTlcPK2g
不過，如果那個狐狸願意幫忙，也許真的會是一大助力。比起自己的脾氣，不是更應該去想要怎樣才能早一步替母親報仇雪恨才對嗎？369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGiSXEAXzT
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRblLsmkzeh
自己尋覓這麼多年來都毫無所獲，而現在就有一個或許能夠跨出一大步的機會，又怎麼能夠放棄？369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqXekrPDsV
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkivFyMCFUr
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2OKVlIQyT
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrqF2DgMa7
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h71CkMj58
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNVXonDRnM
就在這時，紫藤注意到了杜若的手肘與膝蓋上也有著斑斑的擦傷。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYblMsnBfF2
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk22IBgNcL
是被墨駒踢倒的時候撞上的吧。雖然不比紫藤嚴重，但印在杜若柔嫩的肌膚上、還是格外叫人心疼。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eabT7Mwqr
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EoiRMQTSu
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZONcJCpSVV
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Kri1VJNcl
被紫藤一說，杜若才發覺似地看了看自己的傷，露出一派輕鬆的笑容。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhMGAxhYPk
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcVh9fZjbg
「我這點傷才沒事啦～」說完，杜若從醫療箱裡頭翻出了幾條止血貼布遞給紫藤。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn1aZ1R7Sr
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRbX31a6im
「貼這個應該就可以了。紫藤就幫我一下吧。」說完，杜若也爬到床上坐到了一旁。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerYXQI2Ye4
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8hxxiDmSg
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW3kGDbqyI
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKxKpMGPGP
「動作不需要太大，沒問題的。」慢慢地撕開膠帶後，紫藤往杜若受傷的手肘上貼去、神情專注。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUEHK17rJi
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mqa5VAhLS
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAZ2eVwLZr
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzFvZzbvaL
輕輕撫平皺起的部分，紫藤這才發現杜若一動也不動地盯著自己。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn490hx5kE0
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZNlyModNH
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCTGRx5UfU
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrVYi6EhN3
「唔嗯、沒有呀。」盯得出神的杜若這才回過神來地搖搖頭，靦腆地說道：369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmnkWzQXQm
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YiwQh7srK
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiCQIhxQue
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJqBFnGPo1
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5moY8Qcad7
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFOkTUW4x4
在道場偶爾也會有人這麼稱讚紫藤——儘管紫藤從不這麼覺得——但明明是同樣的誇獎，為什麼從杜若的嘴巴裡說出來感覺就是不一樣呢？369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFk1Q6Hicl
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVdWd8rajf
「我、我……」不知道該怎麼回應的紫藤搓著發熱的耳朵，無所適從地左右張望，最後才低下頭、用著連自己都快聽不到的聲音悄聲地說了句：369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9ZNmGkrLh
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgK5bJy14y
「謝謝……」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQzIherMsL
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyHIkOHtiz
「嗯？」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXexcwPXmjr
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWkJNf0n4K
「沒、沒有……！」紫藤彷彿像要掩飾過去拉高音量，匆忙地接著說道：「比起那些、還有膝蓋的傷……！」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX1RKUSyCD
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9P7dCo6wW
杜若雖然有些不明白，卻也覺得今天表情豐富的紫藤很有趣，就沒有多問、聽話地打直了雙腳。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV0IjMztG7
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYEBqoAtgq
杜若的膝蓋上仍沾著一些汙血，那道傷口印在上頭就好像是件純白禮服上的爛泥一樣顯眼——但就算沾上了爛泥，氣質本身也不會輕易改變。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SKueJkUND
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzRjw7fwvp
雖然怎樣也稱不上是修長，但杜若的腿卻讓紫藤不禁想到了幼貓那短巧可愛的前腳，讓人忍不住想要伸手捏個一把。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXmKZfEgmN
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D46Lkx3Dc
不對不對、現在可不是做那種事的時候。不要再想些不正經的事了。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5B3nIp3jr
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTpYKbKknO
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWXwzuVUMx
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxOaBfbEAx
「這樣？」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hccu35Bcn
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhG0F0f2oe
為了不讓自己再胡思亂想，紫藤支吾地說。一會才終於定下心來把貼布貼上了膝蓋的傷口。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJUjxW7dmi
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8AuzXriyg
「……嗯！這樣就可以了吧！」杜若點點頭，滿意地打量著自己手上腳上的貼布。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKytf01OEoP
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg36TDgABhb
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnuSuvxu9S
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2F8tRdpih
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNOUR9pKyf
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeK8QKLdl8
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTDOMjf6dC
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wl6r9GxsZ
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBiwr9q73N
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrwvRvKopN
「唔、嗯……」杜若好像沒聽清楚似地，只把頭點到了一半，便默默地垂下眼簾。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw8fLu9BAJ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIhHXo0ewz
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ShyPxFkHO
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahAcb0ACNI
但杜若沒有做出回應，只是像在思考般地沉默了一會後，才撓撓頭髮抬起了頭來。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczODDvsV8V
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokLec5MDkW
「沒有……沒事的喔！」杜若再次露出一如往常的笑容：「再不睡覺的話明天又要遲到了！還是趕快把東西放回去，然後好好洗澡睡覺吧！」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtM6VWNhLJ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTQyRnVCCe
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMp4qPglju
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO95rve8MwU
回來後、在淋浴間前，兩人看著彼此身上的一塊塊包紮，忽然察覺到了什麼而尷尬地笑了。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9L3GVz7aN
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDabTK1cBOe
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb4z2SoyFZ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz9MYCXnNk
「……只能用擦的了吧。」紫藤望向手上一大片的暗紅紗布，洩出了一聲嘆息。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69Mm0fQPfT
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioGkNongSN
雖然天氣還很炎熱，用擦澡倒也不會著涼，但紫藤現在只有一隻手，想要擦去全身的溼黏感實在是難如登天。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY6C3RNQ2w
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0Z5qLT1GJ
杜若也察覺到紫藤有苦難言的模樣，於是悄悄地湊到了紫藤的一旁。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxSi8wcc4Q
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHzPrrzkAb
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xaQhyMX2U
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXAt1WyeBY
起先紫藤還沒聽懂杜若的意思，但看著杜若站到了自己和淋浴間之間，紫藤才瞬間紅了臉頰。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyX2J9lIxp
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt81OCLBEuH
「我、我自己來就可以了……」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEuVoyk1K9
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk6muUL21A
在外頭、紫藤光是露出手臂以外的皮膚都會感到有些憋扭了，更何況是和人坦誠相待，即使是杜若——不、正因為是杜若，紫藤才更在意這點。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBDMdCYHDF
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl43VMk2FCz
終於，在簡單擦去一身的灰塵與汗濕後，兩人才可以好好地關上燈休息。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzCBqH37lu
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi9YgfSZxn
房間沉入一片黑暗。而在這片熟悉的黑暗當中，卻多了道不同的吐息。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORr9PAHHNP
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgk529lFJV
明明昨天還沒有這麼明顯地感覺到杜若的存在，現在紫藤卻能夠清楚地感覺到對方的呼吸拂過臉頰。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkLX37rTn7

因為說好了，所以剛才也讓杜若用了跟自己一樣的沐浴乳。和草草擦乾污痕的紫藤不同，剛沖過澡的杜若身上香得不可思議。那宛如水果混合了奶油的甜香挾帶著專屬於杜若的微暖體溫，光聞著就令紫藤的胸口發癢。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqxRvHRnFs
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpLuFkT2zg
明明是一樣的東西，為什麼用在杜若的身上味道就是完全不同呢？369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYO91EE6OR
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5e5r0jmRq
「……紫藤。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j0FeFvC8M
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hwLleshlo
「怎麼了？」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZan6Flpj2r
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlawePqhyCA
就在紫藤兀自思考時，杜若用著像是隨時會消失在黑暗中的細小聲音、輕聲地喚了紫藤。而在紫藤回問後，杜若沒有馬上回答，只是輕揪住紫藤的衣領，向前挪動身子。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNq1nHPcY5
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCm0ehNIkX
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cyZXizUZn
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP1NR7LKfj
那是躲在櫃子裡頭時紫藤為了安撫恐慌的杜若，而下意識脫口而出的承諾。也許是四周的黑暗、讓杜若又想起了那時的感覺吧。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurXzQTOx5I
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0fIQ4iF2q
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTWv0I695g
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt3u2veEGg
就連明天，紫藤都不知道自己是不是還能夠像現在躺在這張床上了。那又何況是更遙遠的以後呢？369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokqweeh3kt
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvIAU4nUan
這世上難以實現的事情多如繁星，即使是伸手能夠觸及的光芒，也不乏混濁的惡火，而自己選擇的前路更是如此。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAftuPcv4CC
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdP8QCalDm
既然難以實現，那就不該給予承諾。面對再也單純不過的杜若，這樣的輕浮是種殘酷。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR46Z26F5Hs
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9EldcOQoW
可是要是因此就什麼也不能夠承諾、什麼也不能夠相信，不也是另一種殘酷嗎？369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9BWpHSDvi
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k3aAP5mk0
確實，紫藤不能夠保證前路的光明不是槍口的閃焰，也不能夠成為驅趕黑暗的陽光。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hQ4PWaaNb
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIzjTUcH11
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWuONZOrAX
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6kLByGWCo
無論腳下的是光明還是黑暗，只要紫藤還能夠伸出手，就不會讓杜若握起的手中僅有一撮虛幻。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4hps0qlEf
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO6LLdS4ge
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZxAB1rNWK
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMZkNkJXv1
「……我會試著做到的。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh408zrb3p6
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqQgCxbvMO
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ICIBBwdEd
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrr0BVkuKC
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3q72v8yqm
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Izgr67i3S
不給紫藤辯解的餘地。說完，杜若就這麼微笑著闔上眼，沉沉地往夢鄉走去。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzw7wIjN9I
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggfLR8Tw6j
窗外打進的微光逐漸照亮紫藤的視野，杜若雪白的髮絲在輪廓的邊緣透著薄光，就宛如隨風飄逸的紗絹一樣。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jJzn28elK
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJmn1P0gJg
從呼吸聲聽來，杜若大概是在睡著時就會蜷起身子的類型——就連這點也跟貓很像啊，紫藤不禁調侃地想。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vVjYyvQT7
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jZRyfht9m
疼痛令紫藤沒辦法把杜若給攬進懷中，但紫藤卻仍湊近了身子，把那道溫熱的呼吸給小心地挨近胸口。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xp2fh2FQ5
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL263EjLVU9
而杜若只是既像在回應、又像在撒嬌般地發出一聲夢囈，把身子更加地縮了進去。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iZGgpnAmm
