第六回 名字叫王萍鶴
眾人邊走，賀鋼先邊仔細打量著她，尤其是她的步態。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FJaq6TUaW
(右腳好像有點不自然，果然就是當年遇到的女孩。)鋼先暗忖。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmULc8PprO
兩人曾有過一面之緣。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLxmo12HVD
若她真的失憶，再提也無濟於事。但兩年前的那件事，卻在鋼先腦海中歷歷在目。
——記得那是個夏日。當天鋼先在上清宮整理倉庫。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B8XEXRqas
正當他把大量廢棄文件裝上小舟運走時，無意間瞥見了她。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDoRqY07ON
只見她形單影隻，步履蹣跚，似在茫然尋覓什麼。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBG0IjPybT
「……又是迷路的遊客？這麼晚可不妙啊。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiwxlGXSQD
鋼先划著小舟靠岸，在她身旁停下。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHwY2ePmT7
「是來遊玩龍虎山的嗎？跟同伴走散了？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfznSmrLFmb
話音未落，她先是一驚，隨即綻放出燦爛的笑容。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFaqJqjdaJ
「沒錯，我和家人一起來的，不小心迷路了。請問您是本地人嗎？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziC3eh4cMA
鋼先頓時看呆了。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeklH9Ir2GY
雖稚氣未脫，卻亭亭玉立，膚若凝脂。絕世容顏令鋼先目不轉睛。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGLiLIj4Ck
「原來不是本地人啊？打擾了。」見鋼先不語，她失望地垂下臉。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXGsP7J1he
鋼先連忙擺手笑道:「不，我就住在龍虎山，當導遊沒問題。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtq5J7xXgL
說著把小舟繫好，帶她朝南面的巖山走去。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rN2u733Ph
「遊客們通常最後一天才走這條路。一直走就通到回程的碼頭。但路有點繞，常有人迷失方向。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV0iUF7wGp
她連連點頭。「是啊，我也得趕快回去，上船時間就要到了……！」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUH3aRB1HT
鋼先感同身受。「我懂妳著急。照這速度肯定趕不及，不如冒險翻過那座巖山？我帶路，別怕！」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQPN6nh3pk
兩人來不及多說，全速向前狂奔。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfl6r9wgEX
巖山約三人高，宛如一堵高牆，但只要翻過去，碼頭指日可待。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vTP15m0RH
「我先爬上去，再拉妳一把。在下面等我。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB8bQJFlTS
鋼先攀上巖山。他早有準備，提前留了條繩子。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBjAJSLCdn
他把繩子拋給她，待她纏在腰間，便將人拽了上來。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKgWK9Ewlw
「很好，妳挺輕的嘛。馬上就到了。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzAG0ZnH6R
就在此時，狂風驟起，大雨傾盆而下。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXBtsVeV14
兩人瞬間濕透，鋼先緊握繩索，穩住身形。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02NMi3tKU4
「這種時候下這麼大的雨，真是的。喂，別掉下去啊。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZEOpgR3kx
她也拼命想爬，奈何石頭濕滑，屢屢打滑。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3djTWI4aea
鋼先也因此受到牽連，幾次險些鬆手。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV1pApVq5h
好不容易爬上山頂，兩人又在雨中沿山坡狂奔。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA3bBVAOz6
「啊！」她被鬆動的石塊絆倒，右腳扭傷了。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKyKgQcPMM
她疼得抽搐，鋼先也左右為難。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSsEDsML5I
「船就要開了，忍一忍吧！」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ShCTFD60s
鋼先將她背起。薄薄的夏衫被雨水浸透，她的酥胸和玉腿恍若無物。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdf5nIP0G4
「不要啦。」她羞澀地嬌嗔。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTzcf5dCJR
鋼先充耳不聞，只管全力狂奔。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jECwMeJvV
上氣不接下氣地趕到碼頭，她的家人連忙將她帶上船。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs3rQR3Anh
船隨即啟航。鋼先喘得說不出話，悔恨沒能多聊幾句。
鋼先本想提起往事，卻又打消了念頭。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LoHzE2bG1
(她失憶了，想必是經歷了什麼大事。如今的氣質已和當年大不相同。)83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUB3nRPp7m
鋼先決定把這段孽緣埋藏心底，以初識的身分與她相處。
◇
眾人在客棧坐定，鋼先語氣平和地問道:83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKnkOkXeYz
「在下賀鋼先，來自龍虎山。姑娘尊姓大名？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97HTeKF5dO
她搖搖頭。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7LqGyCMJc
「看來是真的失憶了。都是那支魔星筆害的？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RI5Ay4wYa
這回她默默點頭。鋼先閉目深吸一口氣。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1UmSgy7Ko
李秀靈機一動:「那用妳的筆法，能不能恢復記憶？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX7I74fvS8
「那是不可能的。」她斬釘截鐵。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaXPZXgWOO
李秀詫異地望向鋼先。鋼先轉頭問魯乘:83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ067emzSCzw
「魯乘，你怎麼看？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1l9NmEda6
「大概是有些不願回想的事吧。咱們不好勉強人家。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pyn4TE58e
「鋼先，」雷先興奮地說，83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlUz3fQ4NE
「不如讓她一起幫咱們收復星宿？那個筆法厲害得很，肯定派得上用場。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPNdUqlOXT
鋼先嘆口氣制止道:「別輕易亂說，這可是趟凶險的旅程。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbeOjVlJeN
眾人把目光投向她。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM9Z7R1B1N
「我討厭。」她道。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowU2rTZKSu
鋼先點點頭:「也是，對不住，是我唐突了。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YQMARwcZz
但她搖頭:「不，我厭惡的是那種筆法。恨不得把它扔了。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuGDFBi2MZ
「……我明白。」鋼先說。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypFFTG33GQ
她詫異抬頭。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HE5A1iXzX
「我說話前，你就沒輕舉妄動。明明你照顧的店鋪都被燒毀了。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2aS5eHuIx
她低下眼簾。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmzi5DhNwU
鋼先接著說:「但若帶上妳，反而非得讓妳使出那筆法不可，未免強人所難。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpZvcA7Ptz
李秀和魯乘也深以為然。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb05yEaQxhd
「這肯定會釀禍的。不要管我了。」她自暴自棄地說。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8LBJ8DsPa
雷先上前勸道:「抱歉，是我不懂事。筆之魔星，就交給我們收服。在恢復記憶前，妳就在龍虎山靜養吧。這樣如何？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcV1VfpD0m
鋼先拍了拍雷先的肩膀:「英雄所見略同。一開始就這麼說就好了嘛，大哥。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4uZ9fefY8
「嫌它那麼討厭，幹嘛不扔了它呢？為什麼一直帶在身上？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrTTR6S4rr
她默不作聲，良久才道:83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwZKToTogO
「地文星說的。它選中了這支筆，接著又選上了我。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbRXylcUfe
「魔星選中了妳？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAw9QnyB7E
她有氣無力地點了點頭。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtJllJv944
鋼先猶豫了下該說些什麼，卻聽她問道:83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WxG7ykPmB
「你們不也各自背負著什麼嗎？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykFPOMPnQ9
眾人大吃一驚，面面相覷。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlINWmvKo16
她又道:「可你們看上去很開心。為什麼？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAWH4RRRNK
鋼先聽罷笑道:「同行的路雖說辛苦，但大家都在為目標而努力，彼此感情自然日漸深厚。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2LzkbhHFA
雷先等人也難為情地笑了，百威不停地叫。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUuNKe0DSC
半晌，她說:83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71FHGtrvfJ
「帶我一起去吧。就算記憶沒能恢復，我也不想就這麼待著。請讓我跟你們在一起。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1f7E075r0
那番話說得鋼先頗感意外，環顧四周，隨即報以微笑點頭。
有了新夥伴固然高興，卻對她一無所知。於是眾人決定查看她的隨身行李。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjbTHtKfc3
「這衣料好講究，姑娘家世不凡吧？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi8ljuNNGt
李秀邊看衣服，魯乘邊得意洋洋地說:83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QFqbwu0fP
「硯台背面刻著字。『賀會稽王君千金誕辰，開元二十五年，燕溫敬上』……這不就是她的壽禮嗎？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmFqZ3cT1e
「照這麼說，她今年該有十八了。會稽王氏之女。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL2n2zxZhE
鋼先說。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpHYvg4Hgy
「哦，我是開元二十六年生人，你比我大一歲呢。請多指教啊。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfhGft4lJ5
李秀笑吟吟地說。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJCmWtpSXu
「……請多指教。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKwTpfUeq4
她幾乎沒笑，客套地回應。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjOgcMshWd
雷先靈光一閃:83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqzrmfE6rn
「說到會稽王氏，晉代大書法家王羲之最有名了。莫非是他那一脈？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQoFX2HonC
但當事人毫無反應。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI35xcTuhl8
「看看那支筆，說不定能瞭解點什麼呢。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WjvEPz4i6
魯乘伸手去拿，王姑娘連忙阻止:83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdPgqG74Sg
「這筆名叫『輝影』。除我之外，誰碰了它，法力就會減弱。當然，你若想用，我就借你。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvNFUu1eVH
「這樣啊？那就沒意思了。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl4q1tnhWj
魯乘遺憾地縮回手。鋼先起身說:83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnF9ytr7oW
「我聽說，會稽王羲之曾與龍虎山有過交集。說不定這是某種緣分吧。總之今天太多事了，大家歇息一下吧。」
翌日用過早膳，雷先和魯乘帶著王姑娘去了後院，說是想仔細瞧瞧她那神奇的筆法。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC95zYCciU
鋼先，李秀和百威就在一旁觀望。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwBiJFQDhV
「活像個看魔術表演的孩子。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zTX0Yne0D
李秀半是驚奇半是無奈，鋼先苦笑道:83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwkUbne6rw
「畢竟是稀罕本事，好奇也情有可原。不過看似無所不能，未必沒有弱點和侷限。多試驗幾回也無妨。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6F8qwkzWD
「嗯，有道理。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvYiK5P80f
魯乘和雷先忙活著收拾後院，騰出一大片空地。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5IrHE1JU4
王姑娘拿著裝滿墨汁的壺和筆，面無表情地說:83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY7E4jSAux
「隨時都可以開始。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1ZM8QQphV
魯乘掏出一個袋子放在樹樁上。一隻雞蹦了出來。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYl0XxMSLI
「這是準備吃的，儘管試。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BZg59OUxs
「我該怎麼做？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M96nltSbI
「嗯，就寫個『溺死』吧。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YD7gUpLM7
雷先忍不住問:「沒水還溺死？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHbUO04g61
「看來是不行，那就試試吧。王姑娘，麻煩妳了。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoIpqK7y6i
王姑娘蘸飽墨汁，揮筆寫下。雞身上出現了「溺死」二字，卻毫無反應，反而從樹樁上跳下逃走。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3nKrswj7x
「果然不行啊。那寫個『飛翔』試試。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGnofBvpsE
王姑娘再度揮毫，雞翅膀上浮現「飛翔」二字。雞使勁一拍翅膀，筆直地飛上了天。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnU1t9h2jD
雷先驚呼:「厲害，竟然飛起來了！」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0KU6gKHHI
「百威，把牠抓回來。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DjnYruRwO
棲在樹梢的百威輕輕一躍，把雞逮了回來。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtafJoVe5E5
「最後，王姑娘能否用妳的筆法殺了這雞？寫『殺』或『死』都行。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42Li9buF6O
王姑娘猶豫了下，才一揮筆。雞身上出現「死」字，卻安然無恙，仍在地上啄食。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ4PUz7pL4
「怎麼回事？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdbbBM4Rms
雷先歪著腦袋。王姑娘嘆了口氣說:83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWxHtKeNaB
「我不願之事，便不會應驗。……反之，使用者的意念能造成何等駭人的結果，諸位該明白我厭惡它的原因了吧。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAXP4lVhde
魯乘走上前，拍了拍她的背:83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLx4zn35hL
「對不起，是我強人所難了。雷先那傢伙非要試不可。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wq2EQjyhx
「魯乘，別把責任都推到我頭上，太不夠意思了。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeE69BABcB
雷先作勢要撞他，魯乘靈巧地閃開，兩人就這麼你追我跑起來。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6uVuPiU93
鋼先和李秀在一旁看著笑。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooMhjdcy21
王姑娘也露出一絲微笑。
店小二端來茶水，大夥歇息片刻，魯乘突然說:83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6y1dRmE5h
「王萍鶴，怎麼樣？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVA1AEPwvC
「妳是說她的名字？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpg5lnLhsw
鋼先問，看向王姑娘。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewLiIsINS3
「萍鶴……」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR02hFhyk8
她在唇齒間把玩著這個名字。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVfnyoYUo9
「為什麼取這名字？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyuRXvV6ec
李秀問。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lauHDsAD5
「萍是浮萍，就是飄零無依的意思，雖說難聽了點。至於鶴，自然是形容她身材高挑。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8vevKCd3N
眾人看向她。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrFoTZ0t2y
「……王萍鶴，聽起來挺順耳的。謝謝你，魯乘。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zRj71TnDq
萍鶴笑了。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpGpRYNbgg
百威歡快地繞她頭頂盤旋一圈，清脆地叫了一聲。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFOE36RMHP
「還有一件事。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyOXiTiY0j
魯乘雄心勃勃地說:「『飛墨顯字象』！這個筆法名稱是我的傑作！」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhoEvjvWMM
「就是她那筆法的名字？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4IsdltVFX
雷先讚歎不已。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfU7gDnlOS
「嗯，還不賴嘛。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw116dpoCC
李秀眨了眨眼睛。鋼先也頷首稱是。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNDtRSstHU
「……有點不好意思呢。名字未免太華麗了。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4QNuYqvGl
萍鶴害羞地揮動輝影之筆。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvsrouc8Ty
只見附近一棵枯樹的樹幹上，浮現出「華」字。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxCE5q4dvi
轉眼間，樹上綻放出繁花似錦。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMRzkWDnOe
「哇，好美！」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoqNJeVzm8
「原來是棵桃花樹啊。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGikCU2NcQ
李秀和魯乘驚喜萬分。鋼先也為眼前突如其來的美景而莞爾。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Rl4POlcX1
雷先打開早就準備好的酒壺，讓大家端起酒杯，為眾人斟滿自釀的果酒。空氣中瀰漫著甜美的芳香。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfA6lNFqjS
鋼先舉杯祝酒，眾人紛紛舉杯。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDch03KuGB
就這樣，大夥為新夥伴的加入而再次歡騰。
