近來回到小學，看見越來越多舊人，踏足在矮小的樓梯，都使她不斷想起過去。畢業後沒有再行過這種高度的樓梯，成年人而言頗為矮小的她可以一步踩兩級。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwRbjNdyR5
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPQ1NcNCEz
所有事都湧現，直至她感到自己的頭腦已經滿溢，無法再裝載。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexQZcJXJMt

與第一次在學留守功課輔導班的拘緊不同——同學們的拘束，他們已見慣見熟林蓁，開始不守規矩——她倒是不介意他們有點不守規矩，畢竟，已上了全日學的學生，注意力有限，何況他們都在兒童期，「守規矩」如此需要後天約束的事，本就不易做到。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHDolAVdPP
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9mZFtDnIR
她只是會悠悠地請學生們：就算聊天，手也不要停止寫作。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGArXMRfyxT
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI3on6Lbeo
初時，他們如果遇到不懂的功課題目，只會坐在座位上發呆，或是問附近的同學；現在，他們會舉手，大聲叫喚：「Miss！」無論簡單或艱澀，通通發問。這也許代表她已不會令人感到陌生了。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81Wys4yZ8f
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUItVjyizkL
漸漸，學生之間的聊天聲音越來越大，連她也可以加入對話。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8vJOaIR9z

一個半小時過去，順利結束。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrQUuoFHns

林蓁回家，便將洗手間的燈膽換上——271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbfVoMtiqH
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCKzLHWRr0
那是前天父親著她「明天去換」的燈膽，可是昨夜她在周立沖處留宿。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM3aJypEsG
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab86QodH2l
應是是錯覺，換了新燈泡，便覺得家裡明亮了許多，比起以前用舊燈泡時更甚。因此，牆身的壁癌便被光襯得更清晰，霉霉綠綠，硬誇上些美感便說那是如雲如霧。也許是抽氣扇不夠強勁的緣故，所以無法及時將濕氣抽走，然後形成了一股無法散去的霉氣。然後，如影如形，一直存在牆壁上，成為家裡最大皮膚的一份子，班駁得很。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3dR975cFc
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepYgLX7013
父親罵罵咧咧：「做咩琴晚唔返嚟？」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2A8HhwyaN
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYhoHsTw0Z
她不應。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aDnYGIexE
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVbTplyjKH
「明明叫咗你琴日就買嚟換，而家先做！廁所無燈好危險㗎，你知唔知？」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVfCDKeTan
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJBofbR2gH
她不應。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd49IsNHyvw
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IoCDqYfek
「喂！又唔出聲，叫你做少少嘢都唔得咩？」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qM7drfcRC
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeS9rSCpkW
她不應。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSBpYSM8hQ
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoWlq1ov18
「我係你老竇嚟！關心吓你琴日唔返嚟咋嘛！你唔高興咩？」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlunW1ANLL
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQEtlwWf70
她終於應：「我成日都唔返嚟㗎啦。」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP6IWMvj49
他沉默。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG02gyaCjK
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxffHni4Y1
家裡常常沉默，沉默確實也是林蓁心中家的常態。只是近年，父親說多了好多話，他會說話開口發問、要求、索取，然後，要求他人回應，如果不應他，便會說說說直至她覺得煩。要是以前，他只管一次過說好多話，完全不求他人應，反正他不介意別人怎看。近年是介意了，或是希望有人和他說話聊天交流了，不願再自說自話，才會不停說些問題或內容，直到人家回應。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwNnhdnKga
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LClP6amgb
林蓁通常是為了讓他不要再說，才開口回應。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ8xrjya1J
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ImZtC7vJO
父親說：「咁所以我而家咪一次過關心你囉，唔使原因㗎嘛。」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ272xJk7Sop
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwUJheebRc
「唔使原因，但你有，因為想我幫你換燈膽。」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyRzXJlcOj
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvJOzX2qqL
她語氣平靜。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPoLLXiVc0
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbERcaQWYRy
她太熟知這一套，很多想要向她傾訴心事的人，都會首先煞有介事地問她近況，然後再進入自身故事的正題，完成流暢的轉折。她不會拆穿，反而覺得這是一種禮貌，至少讓她好受一點——他們有考慮到她的感受呢，也怕突兀。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgZNj9jnMg
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA82WC3xXy
「衰女包！我生你養你，你咁樣諗我？」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5iXrCRCs8
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0BuVJcsr1
她不應。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQD0uV3AN6
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXI6tZgdB3
「又成日唔返屋企，係咪拍拖啦？唔使理老竇啦？」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GSjB1m8cY
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw35QO3I8Ez
她不應。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡharRBiLsoJ
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEtYb1tSX8
「都唔知係咪喺出面識埋哂啲飛仔，教到你咁忤逆。」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBAEKIZyYV
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2BVlwLSZ2
她不應。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS43G01Fh4o
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vQJU80JhG
「出面啲男人邊度會真心鍾意你吖！你咪亂咁信人。」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULZnsY8qJU
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hdkmo3zxD
她不應。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkHKdqwcBE
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPvfFFv3Rf
「而家有毛有翼識飛啦？出咗身又唔見你畀家用！」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJCOL72agg
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkdjEApfQA
她終於應：「我仲未畢業。」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQL3F3d2fY
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LvkSj5KNZ
語氣始終平靜。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrhFXkLZRf
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm51SCRQh2
林蓁時時自省，到底從什麼時候開始，這個家就剩下她和父親呢？母親找其他男人了，家姐和細佬相繼出國讀書，遺棄她一個。是不是她做錯了什麼，才落得今日呢。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q4PD0oS78
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8dk2KTYvO
自從家姐離開，她便毫無預兆地代替了被打父親的角色。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB13p5eH3Zy
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphj4kxkrY4
林蓁不解，她又不像家姐，已不會頂嘴，平日有溫順臉容，斟茶遞水家務樣樣做齊，會替母親搥背，會照料弟弟的功課；作為一個二女兒，她已做得很多，那年，她才十三歲。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzu0BMukot
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa9qaFD9w7
「啫係就嚟畢業啦，覺得自己好大個啦嘛！」父親又說。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaPs7Sm6DF
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHscS3byBq
她始終不應。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxldkitBeSE
