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。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXBSzgqRSo
(右腳好像有點不自然，果然就是當年遇到的女孩。)鋼先暗忖。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaU5f6XWAS
兩人曾有過一面之緣。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3SvC7oeUM
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。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiiRqH7abH
正當他把大量廢棄文件裝上小舟運走時，無意間瞥見了她。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUY310iEmA
只見她形單影隻，步履蹣跚，似在茫然尋覓什麼。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7z2GS8mmO
「……又是迷路的遊客？這麼晚可不妙啊。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcSGMdkVmx
鋼先划著小舟靠岸，在她身旁停下。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclyTaS9qlZ
「是來遊玩龍虎山的嗎？跟同伴走散了？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T01Fd4rma
話音未落，她先是一驚，隨即綻放出燦爛的笑容。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa3gDQc26t
「沒錯，我和家人一起來的，不小心迷路了。請問您是本地人嗎？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rFZWngIwe
鋼先頓時看呆了。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPHv4ZLFkJ
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。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiyZMA2Stj
「原來不是本地人啊？打擾了。」見鋼先不語，她失望地垂下臉。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCHTbD3pnu
鋼先連忙擺手笑道:「不，我就住在龍虎山，當導遊沒問題。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkyczvYgYm
說著把小舟繫好，帶她朝南面的巖山走去。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDWW2tEjOi
「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。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUcpAk639G
她連連點頭。「是啊，我也得趕快回去，上船時間就要到了……！」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtUUQgeC5v
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！」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZGeXBbWJH
兩人來不及多說，全速向前狂奔。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlTV0W4P9A
巖山約三人高，宛如一堵高牆，但只要翻過去，碼頭指日可待。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GqgWDbozF
「我先爬上去，再拉妳一把。在下面等我。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbeCyLeojV
鋼先攀上巖山。他早有準備，提前留了條繩子。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWNvkgoXU7
他把繩子拋給她，待她纏在腰間，便將人拽了上來。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iveoALJsV
「很好，妳挺輕的嘛。馬上就到了。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN875YgkkkJ
就在此時，狂風驟起，大雨傾盆而下。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuRdmOSLVU
兩人瞬間濕透，鋼先緊握繩索，穩住身形。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuVFx9Brhv
「這種時候下這麼大的雨，真是的。喂，別掉下去啊。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxCpchW7dQ
她也拼命想爬，奈何石頭濕滑，屢屢打滑。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTTmAsh0hm
鋼先也因此受到牽連，幾次險些鬆手。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgQD17Vv1f
好不容易爬上山頂，兩人又在雨中沿山坡狂奔。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY8aV1ANXQ
「啊！」她被鬆動的石塊絆倒，右腳扭傷了。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUVhPzHLiD
她疼得抽搐，鋼先也左右為難。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25gz6vlPVo
「船就要開了，忍一忍吧！」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUOaAuJAmR
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。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rdNJADwVP
「不要啦。」她羞澀地嬌嗔。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN5yDkqQVZ
鋼先充耳不聞，只管全力狂奔。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4EMKIkpqX
上氣不接下氣地趕到碼頭，她的家人連忙將她帶上船。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r3WjsmitD
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。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc29UmpYsI
(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。)87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59Jh0NQpYB
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:87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhah3NVHLh
「在下賀鋼先，來自龍虎山。姑娘尊姓大名？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyzEbrP5Hz
她搖搖頭。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL69Ayen1ew
「看來是真的失憶了。都是那支魔星筆害的？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRr8S4hE1z
這回她默默點頭。鋼先閉目深吸一口氣。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6NsCjVkUC
李秀靈機一動:「那用妳的筆法，能不能恢復記憶？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUsuVer6eQ
「那是不可能的。」她斬釘截鐵。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HWFOJ3Ahy
李秀詫異地望向鋼先。鋼先轉頭問魯乘:87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKLXcyBHPs
「魯乘，你怎麼看？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5WsvV6P9i
「大概是有些不願回想的事吧。咱們不好勉強人家。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh4zhKvQyP
「鋼先，」雷先興奮地說，87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwURyLy79g
「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。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlm8zElB38
鋼先嘆口氣制止道:「別輕易亂說，這可是趟凶險的旅程。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEfjsCY0b1
眾人把目光投向她。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ2pkv1AdE
「我討厭。」她道。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbzkIW8BWA
鋼先點點頭:「也是，對不住，是我唐突了。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABe1ojTBL8
但她搖頭:「不，我厭惡的是那種筆法。恨不得把它扔了。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMUh06jX8h
「……我明白。」鋼先說。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmtz53jdKl
她詫異抬頭。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbvpbMSL0C
「我說話前，你就沒輕舉妄動。明明你照顧的店鋪都被燒毀了。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl3UQcTMH9
她低下眼簾。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWVY71cz2h
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。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmvbTouWjX
李秀和魯乘也深以為然。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNgFnvzcNi
「這肯定會釀禍的。不要管我了。」她自暴自棄地說。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mjgRVaQeN
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？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThjSxe6Vmz
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。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNJcn4Aewy
「嫌它那麼討厭，幹嘛不扔了它呢？為什麼一直帶在身上？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLGopuEAbO
她默不作聲，良久才道:87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFQZ6gtE46
「地文星說的。它選中了這支筆，接著又選上了我。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7jfbWC2Q9
「魔星選中了妳？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjFBMxts49
她有氣無力地點了點頭。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPLEKC8JoU
鋼先猶豫了下該說些什麼，卻聽她問道:87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKDmUbdGwa
「你們不也各自背負著什麼嗎？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutdHZBBBya
眾人大吃一驚，面面相覷。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdSxnJMMjW
她又道:「可你們看上去很開心。為什麼？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJDru4WXtA
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。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAadlXl9BXM
雷先等人也難為情地笑了，百威不停地叫。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxhMWoGwyQ
半晌，她說:87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFTAF16LG8
「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。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrwCEHabQq
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。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwAjnvIelB
「這衣料好講究，姑娘家世不凡吧？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26DyLMGQrD
李秀邊看衣服，魯乘邊得意洋洋地說:87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS6u0cMG1w
「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？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJZaMdWw3z
「照這麼說，她今年該有十八了。會稽王氏之女。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZsXUwPAEJ
鋼先說。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxQBRpiBTy
「哦，我是開元二十六年生人，你比我大一歲呢。請多指教啊。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCmTAMGcRw
李秀笑吟吟地說。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUStXJrbOvR
「……請多指教。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3pPLiXwF4
她幾乎沒笑，客套地回應。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCmcOwHRCY
雷先靈光一閃:87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhjjGje4SO
「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？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViFkfMRdWv
但當事人毫無反應。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsjEjBVW5V
「看看那支筆，說不定能瞭解點什麼呢。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TNPoEoCXw
魯乘伸手去拿，王姑娘連忙阻止:87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHfqZM1n8u
「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。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRtgzP8Hpv
「這樣啊？那就沒意思了。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6xam80rxg
魯乘遺憾地縮回手。鋼先起身說:87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaOy4AEEKW
「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。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1LVlxlAGr
鋼先，李秀和百威就在一旁觀望。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUZvYlGJAF
「活像個看魔術表演的孩子。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZe8oC9vKp
李秀半是驚奇半是無奈，鋼先苦笑道:87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgduqJkCHqP
「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。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavewASwuo4
「嗯，有道理。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAqQdDQqqF
魯乘和雷先忙活著收拾後院，騰出一大片空地。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5JpY6NFcB
王姑娘拿著裝滿墨汁的壺和筆，面無表情地說:87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuzH4FXLd1
「隨時都可以開始。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7U7KipdcB
魯乘掏出一個袋子放在樹樁上。一隻雞蹦了出來。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmR834f7Im
「這是準備吃的，儘管試。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT5jRkdqmB
「我該怎麼做？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjbu2RJ14i
「嗯，就寫個『溺死』吧。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KgtUI06ZA
雷先忍不住問:「沒水還溺死？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs1CFgmJ4z
「看來是不行，那就試試吧。王姑娘，麻煩妳了。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZtUSFxzyg
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。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XJERalL4G
「果然不行啊。那寫個『飛翔』試試。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXRZ0ESRMX
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。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ5qpRTgt0
雷先驚呼:「厲害，竟然飛起來了！」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxVOKqnFWE
「百威，把牠抓回來。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2mCMVt7Zn
棲在樹梢的百威輕輕一躍，把雞逮了回來。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIkVNrW7vN
「最後，王姑娘能否用妳的筆法殺了這雞？寫『殺』或『死』都行。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx5Q56mk07
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。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZkMQXUjVz
「怎麼回事？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrmFotGIf0
雷先歪著腦袋。王姑娘嘆了口氣說:87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMODNgXmdFT
「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。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQlpF4X4Za
魯乘走上前，拍了拍她的背:87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzJhg5B09t
「對不起，是我強人所難了。雷先那傢伙非要試不可。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRNLwvbVts
「魯乘，別把責任都推到我頭上，太不夠意思了。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfys33QrAG
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。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBAvWAhITw
鋼先和李秀在一旁看著笑。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm90TtXrgYk
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:87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTgacaAQni
「王萍鶴，怎麼樣？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhF1OIHStC
「妳是說她的名字？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzElk9eIKo
鋼先問，看向王姑娘。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0nEa5Gsoj
「萍鶴……」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKslY3o8pJ
她在唇齒間把玩著這個名字。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv4OcDQOmZ
「為什麼取這名字？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sXOM5JIhS
李秀問。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF4TO0fBuO
「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。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzTD6zmTHL
眾人看向她。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ361kzXAhs5
「……王萍鶴，聽起來挺順耳的。謝謝你，魯乘。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYLtQvIMge
萍鶴笑了。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iIl7eBBGC
百威歡快地繞她頭頂盤旋一圈，清脆地叫了一聲。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC27iOLklC
「還有一件事。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyrpWAdStK
魯乘雄心勃勃地說:「『飛墨顯字象』！這個筆法名稱是我的傑作！」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfo9SvRRwN
「就是她那筆法的名字？」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBPbidp3k9
雷先讚歎不已。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFVtLbZOub
「嗯，還不賴嘛。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYoPXgbtLj
李秀眨了眨眼睛。鋼先也頷首稱是。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwDMvAbJdB
「……有點不好意思呢。名字未免太華麗了。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVOWFbE8Vl
萍鶴害羞地揮動輝影之筆。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwFM4W4GmQ
只見附近一棵枯樹的樹幹上，浮現出「華」字。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd73CDRtsr6
轉眼間，樹上綻放出繁花似錦。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvleMRayi1D
「哇，好美！」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3koDZochaw
「原來是棵桃花樹啊。」87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbWV6pvxgI
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。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iCrMdk2Ky
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。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaMuTFDe6b
鋼先舉杯祝酒，眾人紛紛舉杯。87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ9z0KOLpQ
就這樣，大夥為新夥伴的加入而再次歡騰。
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBzXsk637U
