暮靄之城3《雙塔紅霧》 - 楔子

「......主，萬能的主，求您恩賜......不要讓我們遭受創傷，不要讓我們沾染罪惡，求您讓我們克服一切煩惱，並遠離罪惡的誘惑......」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvECJlglJx
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6me7XIIuD
在瘋狂奔馳於清晨薄霧的馬車中，婦人低頭祈禱。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKkMEkOGkf
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj33nzzvTu
顛簸路途一再打斷她的聲音，但即使嘴唇顫抖發白，她依然緊握著手中的基督聖像喃喃祈禱，而另一手，則將緊靠在她身邊，頭髮微亂的華服少女攬在懷中。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeIYDSlsB6
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B8UoGrlVe
她們在逃亡。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28vD7F481X
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwveymdCN9
少女從頭到尾一聲不吭，蒼白小臉上有著疲倦神情，髮髻已經因為馬車顛簸而散開些許，看起來有些狼狽。可她始終緊挨著奶媽，揣著懷中用小塊花巾包裹的盒子，像是要用身體護衛它似的抱著它，用力到連手指關節都泛白。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWTI9IzEtm
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuZc07x9Af
略顯福態的婦人仍然在禱告。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFppwayHkUD
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUfAkFYgAA
可突然，像是輪子滾過什麼石塊，高速奔馳中的馬車劇烈震了一下，那瞬間像被高高拋起而又墜落的失重感揪緊了少女和婦人的心臟。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUy6tYREaP
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pDUmMlTS8
少女低低叫了一聲，更加用力地往奶媽身邊靠。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tj0eQItri
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacv04EtcHJ
「......別擔心，小姐。」雖然自己也哆嗦著，可婦人還是強打起精神安慰少女，「我們會安全的。」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJjObZfm1Q
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z2fgGfJwN
「......會嗎......」少女抬起絕望但渴求希冀的眼睛看著奶媽。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK4Xitdjzn
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s0rb80e4P
「當然。」婦人說，同時也在給自己打氣，「前面就是邊界，只要出了森林，就可以和大少爺派來的人會合......」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoB1CyrqN6
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEHI0lCKX7
可她話還沒說完，「咄」一聲脆響帶著恐慌釘上馬車車廂，同時也釘近了車廂內的女眷心裡。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZUyvfpmCa
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPuzJ8xMIQ
「奶媽！」少女低叫，將頭偎進婦人懷中尋求安慰。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsBQMyij5D
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EO89cOo5K
「喔！主！」婦人臉色慘白地呼喚聖名。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGNoqCxlXh
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NFRVVbzWB
可追擊的箭矢毫不留情地在車廂上敲擊著瘋狂的鈍響。前方拉車馬匹受驚，步伐變亂，連帶著馬車也被左右甩動。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRb1cy0Hzt
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY98qhRJpU
外面傳來馬車夫的高聲叫罵，以及追兵們越來越近的馬蹄聲與高喊聲。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF75NRdmqeG
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xXhdNCGk8
兩個女人在車廂內被甩離座位，跌撞上車廂門。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdgjyuhIcx
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl8mGA5I0J
她們低呼，婦人連忙把少女扯進懷中抱緊，用自己的身體保護她。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRrZErgMfE
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3LbguhjRc
可下一波震盪更加劇烈。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHshBrdmFsr
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi2xUo7JaV
後方射來的箭矢卡進急速滾動的車輪間，衣邊輪子失衡，整輛馬車巢一旁狠狠偏斜開來，甩動的力道將依偎在一起的少女與婦人毫不留情地甩開。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHZHsQEhPx
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO7Zhvjq2I
婦人跌在座椅編，好不容易攀住椅子穩固自己的身體。可少女卻沒有那麼幸運。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpZD0rLF7M
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7PsgEBoHS
震盪時那個小包裹自她懷中掉出去，想起父兄曾叮囑這東西有多重要，黑髮的女孩不假思索地撲過去抓住它、再次抱回懷中。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9uHQPg9sX
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz3q5ImdOQ
可還來不及鬆一口氣，下一波顛簸就將她纖細的軀體拋出去，重重撞上馬車車門！44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCCPIfE4qP
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts2kPkmoC6
車門禁不住撞擊力道鬆了開，少女就在馬車飛馳間跌了出去！44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjcOre0mr6
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSAWz6YHt8
「呀啊——」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4stLvvl9W
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPM6VgKBfh
「小姐——」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU2kpl5S8W
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7Qk3dvdXz
少女纖細的軀體在空中無助地墜落，摔進路旁的樹叢間。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfDTuEEhPg
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIsCkZc747
遭受追擊的馬車也在下一刻翻覆，拉車的馬匹被射中腿部，長嘶一聲倒地。連帶著馬車傾覆，在大路上滑行一段，掀起的黃沙遮蔽了混亂中的一切，包括少女飛跌出去的身影。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrvm4OPrwF
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1d4CIBKTX
轟隆巨響令少女呼吸一窒，顧不得被尖銳石塊和樹枝擦破的傷，她手腳並用地從樹叢中爬起，往煙塵中一看——44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddppz6fifu
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sbVH5wAgJ
馬車整個翻倒，還在車廂內的婦人來不及逃出，被笨重的車體壓住下半身，痛苦地呻吟著。倒地的馬匹旁，車夫雖然僥倖跳車逃過一劫，但才剛站起來，就被隨後而來的箭矢貫穿胸膛，一聲不吭便倒地不起。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsZzHJVu99
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdtwZylKUH
從未經歷過這一切的少女到抽一口氣，摀住將驚喊出聲的嘴，大大的眼眶裡含著淚水。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEctoaadDzC
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aZq4sxLbm
後頭追兵的聲音趕到，少女下意識地往樹叢裡縮，盡量縮小身形，藏在一片枝葉中。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf3swxiEEZ
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhH4Khb0xi
就在這時，她望見被壓在馬車下的奶媽抬起頭來，鮮紅的血自她額頭流下，襯著慘白的臉色看起來觸目驚心。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3kZhy9oIY
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cw2eGGKO1
婦人的視線往她這裡掃過，正巧與少女四目相對。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ8sgpybJY
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLm4UAMFkk
少女的心臟猛然揪緊——怎麼辦？她該怎麼做？44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeltp6oM1s
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RQ0yNhynS
她不知道是不是該出去救人，也不知道奶媽會不會將她的所在位置告訴追上來的人，也不知道自己現在該如何反應。只能盡量縮緊肩膀，抱緊懷中的包裹，小心翼翼地更往樹叢裡縮。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsou4A99ovU
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhrmo46EkG
後面的追兵很快趕到，那是一隊五人的搜索隊，每個人都背著弓、帶著劍，騎著快馬。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN3JG85yZ8
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6Junhjicj
他們從馬上躍下，一腳踢開車夫的屍體，粗魯地在馬車四周巡視。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNExryc5pi5
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPp2pAbPEt
「在這裡！」一人發現被壓在車廂下的婦人，高聲呼喊同伴。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XFM836f9f
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmusVCPQqn6
像是領頭的男人走過來，一把扯起婦人的頭髮，強迫她抬頭。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhLDklFRWA
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlIOotmmKX
「只有妳一個人嗎？」男人問。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUCvg9vxwK
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPUoXaBbNK
樹叢裡的少女聽不清他們說的話，心臟劇烈跳動的聲音令她什麼都聽不清。睜大的眼睛裡只有奶媽染血的面孔和悄悄向她移來的視線。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFqzjfhSNT
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XoCrng6Nq
「還有別人嗎？」見她遲遲不回答，男人用力地搧了婦人一巴掌。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48aPGJxstl
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lqvPADqHx
被打得呻吟一聲，婦人開始啜泣，緩緩回答，「沒、沒有了......」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0nyYAIvAk
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKoLNfAzjt
「可惡！不是這一邊！」男人忿忿地鬆開手，站起身來，大聲指揮部下撤離。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0qW4TBzgP
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw6YTaGXkV
而婦人失去支撐的頭部軟軟垂下，可眼睛還是盯著藏身樹叢裡的少女看。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdOndLxJIe
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNawVGrv9p
——快走......44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2JHzsmbhc
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXxCQDqoul
淚水從她眼眶裡湧出，她其實已經看不清少女是否還在那個方向，但嘴唇仍蠕動著，無聲叮囑。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5DRMri0pV
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS3j8Kszav
「這個女人怎麼辦？」一名搜索隊員問著隊長。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd98T80i8hU
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGIDM4ZDQ4
男人瞥了倒地的婦人一眼，聲音冷漠，「放著不管也是死路一條，讓她早點解脫吧。」44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6VFlFZLKX
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpVESaeV8x
這句話如同針尖一樣打入婦人心裡，刺痛的絕望湧上，她掙扎著想要求生，無奈下半身動彈不得，而失血也讓她的意識開始模糊。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCsqdP7wOv
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ9mXSxKGK
男人轉身離去後，留在原地的部下高舉長劍，劍尖朝下對準她的心臟。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwZWRVFdpI
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTfLxR6kkC
那抹寒光在婦人模糊的淚眼裡異常刺目。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rGVqzddXx
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tkf45d0Hz
也刺痛了躲在不遠處的少女的眼。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNPUweF19X
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq5KvPihk2
「......不......」淚落下的時候，連同哀求也一起吞沒。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTYw8f060S
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkZMpDrBAM
劍尖刺下。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv6XBodkiJ
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D6em7jzzw
婦人的生命就這麼平靜地殞落。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxscAJ4wBy
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPKlKSK3Od
少女咬著下唇，瞪大眼睛看著這一切。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zFLpm24px
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14IP45DIs3
她多想閉起眼不看，可沒有辦法，身體不聽她使喚。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53RzpmiqmC
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8XVQYncFZ
尖銳的劍從婦人體內抽出，帶出鮮血，濺上了男人的褲管。但就像他絲毫不在意地奪走一條人命地對褲子上的汙垢不以為意，大步跨過地上的屍體，翻身上馬。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OxzchO55r
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALOIxTjlrD
一行五人很快策馬離去，馬蹄聲遠離後，森林裡又恢復寂靜。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2AIC3jgde
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVQIjRajuo
少女壓抑著哭喊，想放聲尖叫的衝動在她喉嚨裡只剩下悶聲啜泣。她從樹叢裡爬出來，細白手臂上的刮傷奪不去她的注意力，她全身慣住在眼前狼藉的馬車，以及躺在鮮血中的奶媽屍體。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1w7B1vvLT
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44EfoL47a6
她繞著路走，手指攥緊了破爛的裙襬，另一手將包裹抱的更緊。她不敢靠近屍體，只能在周圍徘徊、無所適從。最後累了，只好在樹叢邊坐下，縮緊膝蓋，顫抖著哭泣。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSeqpumq7q
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOlX2ybRCf
可沒有人會來。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudEGsATEhL
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiA4KxBtED
也沒有人會給少女幫助。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyC6pgi7ke
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqT3O21Jkm
天色暗了下來，在密林裡，光線消逝的更快。而在森林裡活動的細微聲響，一但入夜，就像被放大數百倍似的，圍繞在少女身邊，帶著恐懼以及寒冷。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JiyqISwNr
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj7pp9hrnN
她發著抖，一開始是因為害怕，但後來就是貨真價實的寒冷，腹中的空虛感同樣折磨著她。少女已經不再哭泣，因為她沒有半點力氣。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYthh2KzKIL
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvtYlI5yTT
最後，她想起馬車裡有一籃麵包，還有她的斗篷。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6mg7AFJkb
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKkqcYVzs5
馬車翻覆了，可是麵包和斗篷應該都還在。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qE4RSLlUH
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp20Q59bQrz
求生的抑制戰勝了她的恐懼，提供了一時的力量。她往馬車的方向爬去，攀上翻覆的車體，從被擠壓而破裂的部份鑽進去。裂口不大，幸好少女的身形還可以通過。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx3UHELX7x
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNeYOCkBzT
身上的洋裝經過這一連串慘劇已經破爛不堪，不過此刻少女毫不在意。她爬進車廂裡，找到被壓爛但還可以吃的麵包，狼吞虎嚥地吞下肚，填飽肚子後，她又從變成碎片的天鵝絨座椅下拉出斗篷，用它裹住身體，就這麼蜷在破敗的車廂裡。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUTAqGgLye
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfR72dMDkL
奶媽被壓住的腳踝就在身邊，提醒少女她離死亡多近。44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rJkwdpi5n
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCCa8KiZCS
她縮緊身體，口裡唸著禱詞，用力地，像只有它是她唯一可以倚仗、寄託的那般，緊緊抱住懷中的包裹，絕望地等待清晨的到來......ns216.73.216.85da2
