咚！聲，清脆、空洞的水滴聲回盪在我的骨髓間，激起陣陣刺麻漣漪，讓我的意識形同灼日下遠方的海市蜃樓，飄渺虛無。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nT5skpzAL

　　直到它嘴鼻透出的血腥臭味薰醒我，激起我的危機感。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3DBZ5oHDL
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ50FASTaan
　　急忙睜眼，僅見一團毛茸茸的黑影掠奪走我所有視界。而那似劍利牙已然架上我纖細、發毛的脖子。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBgWVvD0Pd
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV7wgGCQDG
　　幾近本能般地，我隨手抓起任何能夠攻擊的東西，不管三七二十一，直往它襯著夜月的紅色大眼刺去。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzfmq2Lvwp
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDx8lzHAWy
　　頓時，濃稠液體四濺，染滿我上半身。溫暖到發燙的液體如件毛衣，套在我因驚嚇而失溫的身軀上。但鏽鐵的臭味實在教人難以忍受。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURHVN07TwK

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf9UZZX1uB
　　搖搖頭，平緩喘氣，被突如其來攻擊所分離的迷濛意識逐漸回到腦袋，我也漸漸看清這凶猛的襲擊者是誰。那是深山的霸者，森林的猛獸－－飛雪熊。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQnFQUkmXk
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfTvb11y6G

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHV5ya5xis
　　它的軀體好比百年榕樹粗壯，直立時少說有二尺半。最讓人寒顫直竄腦後的是，它背後兩塊高聳似鋼鐵建起的壯碩背肌，沒有任何東西能夠經得起它奮力一擊。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6xrTkOUyN
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtZ6Zpgjou

　　就在這時，眼下一個異狀讓我彷彿被惡魔的低語操控般，忽視身後危險，不自禁地輕輕撥開路克臉頰兩旁已快脫落的紗布。想要確認這兩塊始終緊貼在他臉龐的紗布下，究竟深藏著什麼秘密。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU491tgLK3l
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OFXmCFbSQ

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgeNVvrIqW
　　不知何種原因，飛雪熊看到出鞘的長劍，鼻頭隆高皺起更多山巒，層層疊疊直往頭頂爬去，連短小的耳朵也如狂風侵襲般斜後拉直。飛雪熊瞪大僅剩的單眼，咧嘴顯露滿滿白刃牙齒，身上毛皮恍若怒火燃燒，左右搖擺，怒不可竭。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixbsRlhVeO

　　此刻已屏息的我，簡直能夠一一清點耳裡迴盪的心跳聲，看透飛雪熊一根根飛舞的細毛，直擊來的飛爪自然不必多說。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmb3iC1paY
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgLJHZPfHk

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNyt9sHLdC

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03TBfZxg03
　　沒想到飛雪熊頭也不回地，直直衝進鐘塔的底部，劇烈撞擊力道折斷鐘塔三支支柱，鐘塔應聲崩塌，木塊四散。而後銅鐘－－告死天使50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MXXtARbPv
　　－－沉厚鐘聲響徹雲端。於此期間，我是連滾帶爬，急忙把還置身鐘塔下小屋的路克抱出，然後才躲得遠遠的，靜靜目送鐘塔的倒塌。可沒有見死不救。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIw1wgWYn3
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoeQrOLniU
　　待鐘塔崩塌激起的塵埃逐漸落地，我終於能夠放下緊繃的心情；闖入村莊的飛雪熊，已經永遠沉睡在那堆木片廢墟下了。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbr9YAHTHZ

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG81OPYYw5x
　　「別擔心，妳看那小子雖然個頭小，但骨頭可比別人硬朗，不過是被飛雪熊一掌打飛，最多暈個幾天，過陣子就沒事了。放心、放心。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zoH16ZWA4
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79AqAyVdhG
　　咵特一派輕鬆的語氣，根本看不出來他是帕布魯村唯一的醫生，該有的悲憫是沉到酒甕去了嗎。不過，回想以往路克在挨了我的拳擊或是踢擊後，還能生龍活虎的爬上爬下，咵特會這麼說也不無道理。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQV5QQld3B
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQudj3zbz9E
　　現在，路克既然沒事，那意味著我必須把早先的發現講出來才行－－路克臉頰上，刺有代表色雷斯公國的尖齒輪型刺青。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1kgEbWPBn
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIL9FLBpbh
　　先前我對路克某些怪異舉止就抱持某種程度的戒心。撇開他老愛三天兩頭就跑來對我示愛，又有被虐狂癖好外，他最為怪異的一點在於，每天深夜一到他便會到村外郊區遊盪，並且唸唸有詞跟自己展開對話。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f28B43EZm
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGsl54ipT4

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeuJtUqE1E
　　「哎呀呀。」工匠哈特走出人群，困擾的搔動頭上雜髮，紅通通的酒意還留在兩頰，「沒想到會壞得這麼徹底。連想修補的機會都沒有。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn0G1RJQAU
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9La7wrq3ep

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4FjfsME7j
　　「到是冬季應該在深山覓食的飛雪熊，為什麼會突然下山攻擊村莊？」結束包紥，咵特收好醫療箱站起時，提起這點疑問。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDNkVc3nC8
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLkHZJFb43
　　「嗯？熊在冬季不都該冬眠的嗎？」我反問。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN2p4c1R2A
同時身兼畜牧、獸醫與醫生等三職的咵特回道：50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCcbCIQQuK
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YsuaUfhYk
　　「如果是一般的熊，確實早在冬眠了。但是，飛雪熊比較特別，牠們在冬季會一面狩獵食物，一面在巢穴附近的樹上留下咬痕代表自己的地盤，並在找到未來的另一伴後才會進入冬眠。等春季一到，吃飽睡足的飛雪熊會直接跟睡在同個巢穴的另一伴交配。這段期間，牠們都會在深山裡度過。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdTYXj5Z4U
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnvn1vqGqu

　　「沒、沒什麼啦。就只是一隻熊而已嘛。」轉著頭髮，我答道。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBvT7aNnkd
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmHvIGqEoo
　　「可是反過來想想。」不識相的哈特在這時偏偏硬要多嘴，「一位能打贏熊的女士，在騎士試選會敗卻給騎士團裡排行最差的人。薇亞莉，妳到底是弱，還是強呢？這就好像天空傳來轟轟雷聲，以為快要下起暴雨，最後掉下來的卻是一坨鳥糞……咚嘻嘻！」哈特說完還自個兒傻笑，相當滿意自己的譬喻。這連帶四周的人牆也發出陣陣笑聲。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadQmu9IgrC
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U5eKFxBaX
　　「我是鳥糞嗎？」噘嘴，很是不滿的我直瞪向哈特。心裡早先的歡欣已被吹熄到只剩羞却。葛葉姐在這時悄然走到我身邊，輕輕磨蹭著，像在安慰我。將她抱在懷中，我逗弄她的下巴。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7yQy6aeug

　　渾身肌肉的哈特直抓我腰際，輕而易舉地將我抬高，讓我在地面順利站直。但，這右小腿的傷實在沒有嚴重到需要別人出手攙扶。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBksw3ALRZc
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc0tUXJHre
　　「謝、謝謝……。」我支支唔唔說著。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRYQ2x7Yuz
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNd3p2vI9B
　　「不用謝啦。回家後，記得早點休息，這才是對我的真正謝禮啦。」說完，哈特大聲拍手，提高音量，「薇亞莉沒事，各位也回去休息吧。這片廢墟等到明天清晨再處理。還有，該去站哨的人千萬別忘記自己的職責。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0uqAhlAGd
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF5VSVlMoE

　　「沒關係，去吧。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2PybxIJyU
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCP8M5BoOY
　　哈特點點頭，向咵特問了目前路克的位置後，便去把路克抱過來。這時他慘澹無血色的臉龐上，原已脫落的紗布又緊貼回去了。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVpyyxLgsn

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b6u89vbNc
　　挾住紗布一角，蹲在路克一旁的我回望身後，差點沒被嚇死。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WCmhOWhlS
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8ebJg9Bl6
　　村民一個接過一個將頭緊臨在一塊，畫出一圈疊一圈圓型鱗片狀，僅留正中央讓月亮將光打入其中。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznqi3v6lEe
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBa5xJnuoQ
　　給無數對白眼直瞪，我掛著僵硬笑容，慢慢回過頭，重新直視路克。緊張氣息毫不客氣地直往我背上壓，連我也跟著心跳加速。噗咚！噗咚！50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy95Muc4LS
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMyprPm3eK

　　咦？50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5nGTAGVWR
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3fmZ13OSB

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7LfARcySZ
　　怎麼可能？50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUl6sBSeUH
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VACruJAd3
　　再撕開另一側旁的紗布，同樣寫著：「薇亞莉我的最愛。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb1OimzMv7
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz4fLMCYO8
　　此結果當場引來一場哄堂大笑，原先圍成圈圈的人群一個接一個，紛紛笑倒在地上，像朵花綻放似地。對此，我用以拍響一個巴掌的力道，將路克臉上始終貼住的紗布歸位。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gM4ce3GHD
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpdF7vxTek
　　「等等！剛剛分明不是這個樣子的！」站起身，我燙紅著臉，努力為自己辯駁。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiJHThZ4np
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D9CKzTmUP
　　「可是呀，薇亞莉小妞。現在路克臉上就只寫著這幾個示愛的字句，或許是剛才的場面太過緊張，讓妳看走眼也說不一定。」倪達忍著濃濃笑意，替我打圓場。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuSwmilFUq
