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。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqczvbUCFc
(右腳好像有點不自然，果然就是當年遇到的女孩。)鋼先暗忖。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdp3cDJhpN
兩人曾有過一面之緣。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0fyx27n5H
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。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb69id69oVO
正當他把大量廢棄文件裝上小舟運走時，無意間瞥見了她。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07cSGb0fyg
只見她形單影隻，步履蹣跚，似在茫然尋覓什麼。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARenZizHhC
「……又是迷路的遊客？這麼晚可不妙啊。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8yi1khDw5
鋼先划著小舟靠岸，在她身旁停下。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn50VOB8xo
「是來遊玩龍虎山的嗎？跟同伴走散了？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYpXP5AtLV
話音未落，她先是一驚，隨即綻放出燦爛的笑容。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lHqVDc2ew
「沒錯，我和家人一起來的，不小心迷路了。請問您是本地人嗎？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDXui7dLoM
鋼先頓時看呆了。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFpZHv3qZz
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。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlTKaqkG42
「原來不是本地人啊？打擾了。」見鋼先不語，她失望地垂下臉。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXqGMBGaYM
鋼先連忙擺手笑道:「不，我就住在龍虎山，當導遊沒問題。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO88ROlo4B
說著把小舟繫好，帶她朝南面的巖山走去。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRjrfTcMUD
「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。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi5qAPcftW
她連連點頭。「是啊，我也得趕快回去，上船時間就要到了……！」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCGSGDVLu3
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！」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jj40llU6t
兩人來不及多說，全速向前狂奔。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtfZaenwgZ
巖山約三人高，宛如一堵高牆，但只要翻過去，碼頭指日可待。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr3vnoAb28
「我先爬上去，再拉妳一把。在下面等我。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88L81YajRy
鋼先攀上巖山。他早有準備，提前留了條繩子。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxTnnFbbPY
他把繩子拋給她，待她纏在腰間，便將人拽了上來。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTZaYvKVzw
「很好，妳挺輕的嘛。馬上就到了。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x6Yigo4Ix
就在此時，狂風驟起，大雨傾盆而下。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LRERHh7Xn
兩人瞬間濕透，鋼先緊握繩索，穩住身形。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqScRDJnLUO
「這種時候下這麼大的雨，真是的。喂，別掉下去啊。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP9ndpzCuM
她也拼命想爬，奈何石頭濕滑，屢屢打滑。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhNbnQwkgE
鋼先也因此受到牽連，幾次險些鬆手。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgMUfX7yNQ
好不容易爬上山頂，兩人又在雨中沿山坡狂奔。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk1z0xKzTd
「啊！」她被鬆動的石塊絆倒，右腳扭傷了。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISj4k303ba
她疼得抽搐，鋼先也左右為難。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ043qxHu9rP
「船就要開了，忍一忍吧！」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIJgIjh4NS
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。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQv4kNFqSu
「不要啦。」她羞澀地嬌嗔。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nbPAd6UVR
鋼先充耳不聞，只管全力狂奔。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrddPldeJFh
上氣不接下氣地趕到碼頭，她的家人連忙將她帶上船。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCMd4XKYrY
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。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmde0fA3xm
(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。)85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn2wXbyCRe
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:85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhZLGQ64k6
「在下賀鋼先，來自龍虎山。姑娘尊姓大名？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh1UnZ1sjX
她搖搖頭。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf1jrhQx7E
「看來是真的失憶了。都是那支魔星筆害的？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zFBbx396t
這回她默默點頭。鋼先閉目深吸一口氣。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOtqp26lZW
李秀靈機一動:「那用妳的筆法，能不能恢復記憶？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBg8IK8Xjm
「那是不可能的。」她斬釘截鐵。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQzMBgQ2Cs
李秀詫異地望向鋼先。鋼先轉頭問魯乘:85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxshHETejpK
「魯乘，你怎麼看？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetiOECxFPW
「大概是有些不願回想的事吧。咱們不好勉強人家。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmamw6dKfmT
「鋼先，」雷先興奮地說，85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxu2pHmiZ7
「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。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPX1fFQHOF
鋼先嘆口氣制止道:「別輕易亂說，這可是趟凶險的旅程。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwooeAf3i8Q
眾人把目光投向她。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTY8vNqvwh
「我討厭。」她道。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllDh99d8mC
鋼先點點頭:「也是，對不住，是我唐突了。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgAbHFDuK6
但她搖頭:「不，我厭惡的是那種筆法。恨不得把它扔了。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFXkpmT7VR
「……我明白。」鋼先說。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLcTLiuzau
她詫異抬頭。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBKZJ0JNRQ
「我說話前，你就沒輕舉妄動。明明你照顧的店鋪都被燒毀了。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3iY2hZKj0
她低下眼簾。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGPAVOWK52
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。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeLOdm3q7e
李秀和魯乘也深以為然。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZL9cmukdo
「這肯定會釀禍的。不要管我了。」她自暴自棄地說。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGopdbIa7i6
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？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt8tmGObPS
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。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnscrpsKXG
「嫌它那麼討厭，幹嘛不扔了它呢？為什麼一直帶在身上？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAfazSqhlF
她默不作聲，良久才道:85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN7jnW1a7n
「地文星說的。它選中了這支筆，接著又選上了我。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtPc06yT07
「魔星選中了妳？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRadmYb8hZP
她有氣無力地點了點頭。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMJXFbQ1Xl
鋼先猶豫了下該說些什麼，卻聽她問道:85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7HX8Zf9W0
「你們不也各自背負著什麼嗎？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckmLdUcipv
眾人大吃一驚，面面相覷。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7zWFDNreG
她又道:「可你們看上去很開心。為什麼？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7AVT3hjbe
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。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKkq5EtOTd
雷先等人也難為情地笑了，百威不停地叫。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJDfioSwdV
半晌，她說:85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEWYyMdeuf
「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。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23BLwWqhp9
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。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYpwA42NOE
「這衣料好講究，姑娘家世不凡吧？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpCsvbbjcq
李秀邊看衣服，魯乘邊得意洋洋地說:85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq9m9VZ2YY
「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？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAxovFZwog
「照這麼說，她今年該有十八了。會稽王氏之女。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkS04QBJ20
鋼先說。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbktEAa6ow
「哦，我是開元二十六年生人，你比我大一歲呢。請多指教啊。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnQ5xx0tmk
李秀笑吟吟地說。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauymGDfn6f
「……請多指教。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWBPcGuHtC
她幾乎沒笑，客套地回應。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDclhXPN97
雷先靈光一閃:85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3MFx5vMAN
「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？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeZ2FNrG7R
但當事人毫無反應。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlC9G2A9no
「看看那支筆，說不定能瞭解點什麼呢。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUPCBFnk0d
魯乘伸手去拿，王姑娘連忙阻止:85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ruPtRlETb
「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。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNR8LKLu3j
「這樣啊？那就沒意思了。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOANu9tby3w
魯乘遺憾地縮回手。鋼先起身說:85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORDMTlOwP9
「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。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKa4mIrxXH
鋼先，李秀和百威就在一旁觀望。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uAihsEZmJ
「活像個看魔術表演的孩子。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI4pwsbcHU
李秀半是驚奇半是無奈，鋼先苦笑道:85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWPeU3nU5B
「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。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7yWM9WcqT
「嗯，有道理。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtk2uRgSHQ
魯乘和雷先忙活著收拾後院，騰出一大片空地。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSTQcvhMbw
王姑娘拿著裝滿墨汁的壺和筆，面無表情地說:85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvisqI7Hgq
「隨時都可以開始。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdph7BsASk4
魯乘掏出一個袋子放在樹樁上。一隻雞蹦了出來。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEKwskPY0y
「這是準備吃的，儘管試。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oAx8hXJfW
「我該怎麼做？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpemgJjNh0
「嗯，就寫個『溺死』吧。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB94G0Uf0SY
雷先忍不住問:「沒水還溺死？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMf3FyI6vO
「看來是不行，那就試試吧。王姑娘，麻煩妳了。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxq75yVnm7
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。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHiAZOla4x
「果然不行啊。那寫個『飛翔』試試。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjSpY4NeQr
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。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBSVIf0kCF
雷先驚呼:「厲害，竟然飛起來了！」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7qGGvEi52
「百威，把牠抓回來。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTuuShGRjC
棲在樹梢的百威輕輕一躍，把雞逮了回來。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw06ArrwMui
「最後，王姑娘能否用妳的筆法殺了這雞？寫『殺』或『死』都行。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2bL12795N
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。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiCMQTAP1n
「怎麼回事？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwWHZ4quFm
雷先歪著腦袋。王姑娘嘆了口氣說:85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4j6OjaKue
「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。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfGPk2aLVc
魯乘走上前，拍了拍她的背:85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2pzEU82X4
「對不起，是我強人所難了。雷先那傢伙非要試不可。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q9SYnVAo5
「魯乘，別把責任都推到我頭上，太不夠意思了。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K3QE9NXYp
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。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKuJvXm317
鋼先和李秀在一旁看著笑。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08B7D1Pyxq
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:85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrp6NjuIwe
「王萍鶴，怎麼樣？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcUgwXUI8Q
「妳是說她的名字？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqPAE3K31P
鋼先問，看向王姑娘。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ77kjUrXM
「萍鶴……」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMSzQqIQ1T
她在唇齒間把玩著這個名字。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGC9z8Hn0s
「為什麼取這名字？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe25FZeNgs
李秀問。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2uOqpYeHV
「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。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGap4NWNb0
眾人看向她。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3VXEX7iBN
「……王萍鶴，聽起來挺順耳的。謝謝你，魯乘。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg03z62zGCQ
萍鶴笑了。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4eGuq50Kk
百威歡快地繞她頭頂盤旋一圈，清脆地叫了一聲。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngBjHWCfKC
「還有一件事。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ff0kh309I
魯乘雄心勃勃地說:「『飛墨顯字象』！這個筆法名稱是我的傑作！」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fx0F1thRZ
「就是她那筆法的名字？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL62q6v5sS
雷先讚歎不已。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYH0zkI1s7
「嗯，還不賴嘛。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0mM40li45
李秀眨了眨眼睛。鋼先也頷首稱是。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3Zzr49SPj
「……有點不好意思呢。名字未免太華麗了。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BXoat7okC
萍鶴害羞地揮動輝影之筆。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rmZzbRYSg
只見附近一棵枯樹的樹幹上，浮現出「華」字。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrCuX5q1em
轉眼間，樹上綻放出繁花似錦。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBPRZygFfm
「哇，好美！」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXdwQ3OBYJ
「原來是棵桃花樹啊。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiO6mcLA2T
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。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvI8DvO4RK
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。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QHccXkL7G
鋼先舉杯祝酒，眾人紛紛舉杯。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrxLXnvFWn
就這樣，大夥為新夥伴的加入而再次歡騰。
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvve7Lfwzu6
然後按「加至主畫面」
