出殯儀式正式開始，靈堂入邊嘅空氣突然凝重咗。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC6YPGxYWV
家屬嘅喊聲漸漸低咗，只剩低壓抑嘅靜默。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZjpzfrYJC
每個人都屏住氣，望住燒哥，等緊佢開口。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrYPFfOQB7
燒哥清清喉嚨，聲音穩穩地響起，有一種老江湖的從容與敬意：84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2BTFXrsCE
「各位主家，依家開始出殯儀式。依家係送先人最後一程84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwTtL5UJNg
由大仔擔旛買水，象徵接納孝道，跟隨王師傅往門外請水，畀先人潔淨身心，準備登仙。」84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrtVkSl1Aq
佢講得慢條斯理，但每一個字都好似落喺人心入邊，壓到個個人既胸口有種壓抑感。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytTKXxPuFe
大仔——一個三十幾歲嘅男人，眼濕濕，但仍然咬緊牙——無聲咁起身，接住燒哥遞嚟嘅招魂旛。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RQfaV5QWp
旛上寫住先人的名字，燈光下微微閃爍，好似有生命咁顫動。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3gUCOOMz0
我喺旁邊睇住，心頭一緊。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ1BwfkykC
呢個儀式聽落簡單，但感覺背後有好多層意思——好似喺拉開一扇門，門外係另一個世界。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jXrw7c5M5
王師傅——喃嘸師傅——個光頭佬喺燭光下閃著柔光，開始用喃音唸起經文。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoUeCpdoO1
佢點點頭，帶住大仔向門外行去。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVGIoZUGLR
門外一早擺好一盆清水。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0zGy68Q64
王師傅低聲念起經文，聲音如流水般緩緩流出：84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbrTlSqlHw
「請水潔身，孝道永存……」84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOQ2BZ4dTd
大仔擔住支招魂旛，雙手微微發震，由燒哥扶著彎腰由盆裏面舀起水。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB3Wb0rbQt
取水後，燒哥將手上既大葵扇係水面上輕輕撥左三下，發出「唰」三聲清趣既風聲：84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPucETGjA0V
「當天請水後一帆風順，陽人吉昌！」84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHopHMOsvRO
買水儀式完畢，王師傅帶大仔返嚟靈堂。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnQULJXcPy
燒哥即刻遞上一條白毛巾，浸過請嚟既水，濕漉漉地滴著水珠。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7DYNn603O
佢語氣輕咗啲，但係更加莊重：84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V2bILo0OE
「大仔，依家用呢條手巾，為先人洗面。呢個動作，係畀佢沐浴登仙界，潔淨往西方。」84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY1DhSGDLO
大仔震住手，輕輕抹過先人既臉龐。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMV1oCp023
從額頭到下巴，每一下都慢、穩、輕，好似怕驚擾咗永恆既安詳。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCilzizMCtW
王師傅喺旁邊跟著念：84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M9wbTTj0T
「沐浴登仙界，潔淨往西方……」
呢句經聲一層層迴盪喺靈堂之中，聲音低沉卻有力。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B1BNZh8AG
家屬有人暗暗咁喊但唔感太大聲，有人雙手合十，嘴角顫動。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvHGizzV04
嗰一刻，我心入面突然明白——84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAl1tUG9XD
原來呢份水，唔止洗亡者，仲洗緊在場每一個人嘅心。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc8ywDtBtI
洗面完咗之後，白哥——嗰個壯實嘅仵工上司，袖口捲起，露出滿佈疤痕嘅手臂——走上前，輕輕拍咗下大仔既膞頭，粗聲但溫柔地講：84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi2TVu7jbO
「大仔，先出去靈堂等，畀我哋處理後續。」84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7AJe1uLnU
大仔點點頭，眼神空洞同平靜，好似終於放低咗一啲重擔。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco5QxiTheM
家屬亦跟住散開少少，讓出空間畀專業人士。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9n766Xbt5
白哥轉頭對拍檔使個眼色，兩個大漢即刻進入內堂。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj8d1EmbSB
閂埋門之後剩低既，只係隱約既動作聲同細聲既交談。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWccDxGaY6
佢哋喺度進行收殮——最後嘅整理，為封棺準備。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLw1xYHl4n
同一時間，燒哥喺靈堂上大聲講到：84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JYeCNAw0s
「依家為先人成殮，請大家站立於原位，是日沖犯生肖為雞年，年數是……84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkErCt4pCIS
如有以下生肖者請面向門外回避，請殮！」84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEOJDBUsZd
幾秒靜默後，內堂傳出白哥一聲：「殮！」84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmQx91x4Pn
燒哥隨即再講：「成殮禮畢！萬事大吉，無需回避，請各位坐下。」84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu4txtFqCc
內堂門再次打開，空氣中多咗一陣檀香同木味。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQQU9716F2
兩個仵工合力推住棺木，由內堂慢慢移出，木輪喺地板上碾出「咯吱」聲，沉而穩。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hJKerFg42
成個靈堂再一次靜止。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWMasWtdQz
燒哥抬手示意：「請家屬上前，瞻仰遺容。」84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdcjqGNKMN
大仔同幾位近親企起身，神情凝重。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MTMUZV7y1
大仔第一個走上前跪低，雙手摸著棺邊，低聲咁講：84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n34oI4wGD
「阿爸，走得安心唔好掛心。」84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFP3PmvtOk
佢聲音沙啞，好似卡係喉嚨裡面。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggEI0V6lEX
跟住母親、妻子、兄妹都一一上前，有人喊出聲，有人靜靜咁喊。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc1RVh8QdA
王師傅在旁邊繼續念住經文，聲音流過每個人心底。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5ZikBU8cC
我第一次見到呢幕，心入面一陣發酸。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52of5FHJEW
喪禮唔只係悲傷，而係一場令活著既人學識放手、學識珍惜既課題。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs0Iw8BYrF
之後就封棺儀式。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6Q9Ztir6s
燒哥再次大聲講到：84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq79RwCF4Us
「依家為先人封棺，請大家站立於原位，是日沖犯生肖為雞年，年數是……84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5SfSN5yZs
如有以下生肖者請面向門外回避，其他人請微微垂低頭，封棺！」84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPYOVcOu1E
封棺後，燒哥大聲講：84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnmcrLX6vq
「封棺！萬事大吉，無需回避，請各位坐下。」84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyK3Cv1IRZ
燒哥隨即再宣佈火葬埸地方同埋英雄飯地點，之後示意白哥可以出殯。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9MCDoCm2m
白哥點左下頭後，同幾個仵工合力將棺木抬上靈車，步伐整齊穩重。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWJPRgTsD8
做完出殯後，燒哥跟我說：84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CRfmv6B8r
「小壬，今日出殯既儀式做完曬，其他既野就交比白哥佢地處理，我地返鋪頭食晏啦。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EWLByUPnH
另外岩岩主家比左封利是你，你好好袋起，呢封係你入行第一封利是。」84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSB7WFBZpU
我呆咗一秒，接過利是封。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydEgVIJH4K
利是封唔厚，但重量卻出奇地重。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFEYc4KGBB
我低頭望住佢，心入面湧起好多感覺。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5bcjpH3gM
呢封唔只係錢——佢係一份「認可」，一份「交接」。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9Sv8PSY6k
代表我正式踏入呢一行，從旁觀者變成參與者。
呢一行，唔係為死人服務，84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpYHMOMNVn
而係教活著既人，點樣學識「送別」。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqsXHLQE7Y
學識喺喊聲同寂靜之間，搵返人情最後一點溫度。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXsrnLfAyM
我慢慢將利是封收好，心入面靜靜諗：84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviOmrweku9
「原來，做殯儀呢一行，唔只係送人走，仲係幫生者，學識點樣放手。」84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93WoP7X4ON
我知道，自己真正踏入咗呢條路——84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xEHJIZ2Tb
一條關於「生與死」的學問之路。84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstU10TsrJQ
