或許是忘記他,或者是不需要他了。惠施這一去,已好久好久,都未曾有過音信。635Please respect copyright.PENANATXg4NXEzGP

第二年的冬天,起初只是鵝毛般的細雪,到後來,雪卻愈下愈大,宋國遍地飢寒交加,莊周也不例外。635Please respect copyright.PENANAoepDR3q7wb

其實莊周沒有甚麼不開心,只是在把那艘扁舟賣掉時,他竟格外想念起惠施來。635Please respect copyright.PENANAWH0R8EZSNj

躺在榻上的莊周,迷茫間睜開了雙眼,抓著惠施的手,緊緊地摁在自己的心口。左右都是僕從,這樣的動作,讓惠施顯得有些為難。635Please respect copyright.PENANA6eA1mWC5Xf
635Please respect copyright.PENANARKUFfNIOUk
惠施抽開了手,替莊周把被子闔上,「你又不是大王,我不是你的相國。」635Please respect copyright.PENANAuXUUHAl18a
635Please respect copyright.PENANAxARI6LbDqw
「我怎麼了……?」莊周躺在榻子上,看著跪在身旁的惠施。635Please respect copyright.PENANAtJLLe26aQn
635Please respect copyright.PENANA6UHjkxyxpa
「你還沒進城就餓昏了,但是你很有名氣,大家都喜歡你寫的書,也知道你是我的故人,我得了信,就把你接回來。」惠施道。635Please respect copyright.PENANAemxkRvAKs1
635Please respect copyright.PENANAirAeZB3Q5D
「嗯。」莊周伸出手來,摸了摸惠施的臉,「我的公子,你的表情好像有些奇怪,怎麼了嗎?」635Please respect copyright.PENANA1cZIyuNU0q
635Please respect copyright.PENANA3HGhDG1p49
惠施猶豫了一會兒,纔說道:「我得回宮一趟,不能一直獃在這兒。你有些風寒,我已吩咐府裏的人調些肉羹給你喫了,你多喫點,病纔能養好,知道不?」635Please respect copyright.PENANA9wWKVZpnsq
635Please respect copyright.PENANAKx9U1QhR6D
惠施的神色終究是有些複雜,然而他按著自己的手,以及他的神色又是如此溫柔。635Please respect copyright.PENANAST3VvOV50p
635Please respect copyright.PENANAYlVJc1ER8y
莊周在惠施府上調養身體的期間,不時聽到下人們偷偷地在他背後議論道:「這位就是來搶老爺相位的人嗎」、「瞧他衣衫襤褸,大王不會採用他吧」、「老爺不是要把他殺掉嗎?為什麼還接待他?」635Please respect copyright.PENANATmEG7nwJiM
635Please respect copyright.PENANA7NoBF5nIkA
莊周明白了。635Please respect copyright.PENANADxajhzS58p
635Please respect copyright.PENANAwKTQYHIS1L
『雖見著了,卻比見不著難受。我這趟來反而給惠施惹了麻煩……原是我知牽腸掛肚不好,可依然牽掛才如此。』

下朝後,惠施擔任大王的顧問,接待六國使者,與他們商量對策,一直忙碌到很晚纔回了家。纔到家,見到莊周昏睡在外堂,他被諕了一下,向家奴問道:「你們是不是虧待了莊先生?」635Please respect copyright.PENANArn8opepc3j
635Please respect copyright.PENANAtJJ10g4vat
「奴才不敢,是莊先生非要在此等候老爺,老爺太晚沒回來,莊先生累倒了。」635Please respect copyright.PENANAinvtCxxXhr
635Please respect copyright.PENANACRJnBV3UEw
惠施看著莊周的模樣,想:『莊周不知禮節,在外堂昏睡,這樣的人,興許大王是不會採用的;若只是來投靠我的話也無妨。』635Please respect copyright.PENANAK0ggVrbfuY
635Please respect copyright.PENANAH4ftywyq7g
便吩咐道:「往我房裏加一套被子。」635Please respect copyright.PENANAuo1ZyEUbZe

家奴不解。惠施道:「莊先生與我同房。」得令,這才退下。635Please respect copyright.PENANA0HvVh1vyxc

635Please respect copyright.PENANAgporgkAYdQ
這回,他飛過濠梁,鑽過濠梁下的湖心,遠遠飛過魏國的都城,翩飄進相國府的窗櫺裏,裏頭香霧瀰漫,溫暖無比,與外頭的飢寒大相逕庭。635Please respect copyright.PENANAMZGcbCYEB9

他本想回頭,惠施卻說道:「別回頭,我幫你擦背。」635Please respect copyright.PENANAMG0MmQYAKf

洗浴間,莊周昏昏沉沉的,連一頭長髮,都是惠施幫他梳洗。只記得惠施撫觸他的感覺極細,他的手觸碰過自己的後頸,背胛,其餘的,病中便再難記。635Please respect copyright.PENANAhHqrEouYkx
635Please respect copyright.PENANA34UWlrycWD
一整晚都沒有下人來打擾。就寢時分,惠施幫莊周穿好睡衣後,兩人同榻,相對而寢。635Please respect copyright.PENANAnups9hYO7I
635Please respect copyright.PENANAhYfq2tM6cn
夜半時分,莊周竟感覺惠施的身子貼服在他的背後,雙手摟著他的腰。635Please respect copyright.PENANAGQBqCdgKTL

莊周說道:「惠子,等病養好,我就離開大梁。」635Please respect copyright.PENANA0767T6Pa6i

635Please respect copyright.PENANAEDxn3z50LP
只聞幽幽地一句「對不住」。莊周說道:「對不住的人是我,人各有志,我又何必強求呢?」635Please respect copyright.PENANAvPQUrDObUv
635Please respect copyright.PENANAL9agp9bMSg
「你以前曾問過我,你若離開,會不會想你,會不會留戀?其實我想得很……我來大梁,只是想給你這個答案。魏王的相國,你一人就足夠了,我若繼續留在這兒,你大概也過得不安穩。」635Please respect copyright.PENANAwfTFp85nHz
635Please respect copyright.PENANAlzjFs4O6BW
「若我不在乎呢?」惠施看著莊周的臉,「你千里迢迢來看我,還猜忌你是我的錯……可如果我說,就算大王真的叫你去作他的相國,我也不在乎呢?」635Please respect copyright.PENANADsVLTl9wuF
635Please respect copyright.PENANAPHVtDJBUC7
「我在乎啊,我又不想和別人作禮行揖,可你還對這地方有所依戀,不是嗎?你想當官,我不想當官,我留在大梁,對我們倆人都很麻煩。」莊周道:「這一回,你若想我的話,就回宋國好嗎?……等你不想做官了再回來,我等你。」635Please respect copyright.PENANAu0ziMHFEXy
635Please respect copyright.PENANAefLte0KrHT
惠施只輕輕地說了句「好」,便把莊周緊緊地攢進懷裏,而後,一夜無話。635Please respect copyright.PENANAfxa07FUry1

莊周淡淡地說道:「在楚國有位郢人,他有很會使大斧頭的匠人朋友,他們兩個會一種表演,郢人先在鼻頭上,抹上一層薄如蠅翼的石灰,再讓他的朋友削去。」635Please respect copyright.PENANAdmLZYZZ6ze
635Please respect copyright.PENANAXtBmyb1uxC
「旁人雖看得心驚膽跳,郢人卻面不改色,對匠人十分放心。匠人使斧頭時,不但沒削掉郢人的鼻子,還把石灰完全砍去。宋元君聽說這椿奇事,想請郢人再表演一次,郢人卻回答:『我的匠人朋友已經仙逝,只留下我一人獨活,所以我無法再表演了。』」

郢人斫堊,該典故最早出自莊子《郢人》。
