香城靈石：覺醒 - 【第2章】一百萬的約定

看著兒子走向旅行車，艾倫想起二十多年前的事。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq8WDYbS72
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2XjhduOL1
那時候，他只是個寂寂無名的年輕人。學業成績優異，但家庭環境普通，跟著母親生活。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU54qIglH6
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRXIWqNLIq
高中畢業後，他加入警隊。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSFkTkWbB9
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC2CTv8pCc
加入警隊第二年，他認識了美諾特—同校的師妹，比他小兩歲。她溫柔、漂亮，最重要的是—她喜歡他。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF0Cv3tO3k
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6S6kldvCU
他以為這是人生的轉折點。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVWTT2wjPz
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpKkWVTiUa
直到見到她的父親，李喬丹—或者叫喬丹（Jordan）。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsTHv9mSDp
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9LNa9Sb3b
李喬丹白手興家，對這個只有外表出眾的未來女婿沒什麼好感。但他要一百萬禮金，不是為錢，而是想看看艾倫有沒有承擔。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSYIUNOIMA
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYRRQ8w5cm
只是他沒料到，女兒會直接離家出走。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECdeaWVpZy
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhOSDhv2pf
那天晚上，喬丹站在客廳窗前，望著外面的夜色，神情有些複雜。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu66oqynIQ
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBryCKTG7bZ
喬月靜靜走過來，在他身邊坐下。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6neT9vMdYQ
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT2On0E9f7
「你真的要把她逼走？」她輕聲問。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5G4EPmMaQ
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagCpNz8z0E
喬丹沒有說話。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7803rvIkVF
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gilDY3mGG
「艾倫只是剛投身社會不久，還要供養母親。這三瓜兩棗你很缺麼？」114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLZB8nG5O4
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUjXNMU7Ob
喬丹沉默了很久。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEc3Krf6Ls
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3CYIjZBd8
然後他嘆了口氣。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwgVfBQk2G
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75vo5x31tD
「就你話多。」114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI9HaeBjjl
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJcgfaslaY
喬月輕輕笑了一下。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrHOaMxUFT
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnSsJalEoQ
「我是幫我們的女兒說話。」114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6DdCD5WSf
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwEaeT9aAr
喬丹最終妥協，提供房子和工人，但生活費要他們自己想辦法。他嘴上說「一百萬，一毫子都不能少」，心裡卻已經開始接受這個未來女婿。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrugKPkNa8
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnWyUrP7nU
他甚至多做了一手—美諾特能成為補習名師，背後全是喬丹用資金和人脈打點；而在他們住的房子裡，某個暗格中，喬丹早就放好了一張一百萬的支票。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6rDEaUlV0
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAu55T8qP2
只是這兩個年輕人，硬氣到一次都沒動過。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBehj2qrOQK
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8y7lJlMNH
他就只有這麼一個女兒。與其失去她，不如接受這個女婿。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMpCVMVCfK
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjruiTxcPF

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlggrrT3we
旅行車裡，艾斯癱在沙發上，從冰箱拿了瓶冰水。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtQnrtwlTJ
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzACFnkNzS
脖子上那條鏈子，吊著一塊黃色的石頭。他把石頭掏出來，對著光看了好一會兒。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpALs4XsC0
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMY0hV7zzy
「你會吸熱嗎？」他喃喃自語。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj8yMOYUa5
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicMbWW0IFO
石頭沒有反應。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Uq5VS8uOH
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJcObWF1IB
艾斯笑自己傻，把石頭放回衣領裡，躺了下來。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOMYobZZZM
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaskl2L7Fze
他靠在椅背上，閉上眼。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UBjidPAjN
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhZcVUrU2O
同一時間，城市的另一邊，藍子從床上醒來。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVgGiETNKn
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNZgUFmQzn
她摸著自己的心口。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp8txkk33k
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUv1s7528n
剛才……好像有什麼東西，跳了一下。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3sRZZYil9
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf4RQlog4B

兩口子一邊上班上學，一邊存那一百萬。艾倫剛加入警隊，隨時要加班，沒時間賺外快，就改為幫美諾特準備教材。兩人計算過，大概三四年就能存夠。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKQNYfpjw9
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuMd8dMMg5
日子就這麼過。年輕人朝夕相處，有些事自然會發生。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgSEAe0pZb
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9EIZ9RPRs
不久，美諾特發現身體不對勁。檢查後，醫生說是多囊性卵巢症候群—不是不能有孩子，但會比一般人困難。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNAb0IoeQG
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGWzkSymOA
美諾特哭著回家。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnSSBiorRX
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuopbzkvgwn
艾倫接過報告，看了兩秒，然後放下。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaUW4ICWGm
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkKYVvXQkT
他沒有說話，只是坐在床邊，背對著美諾特。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4lDWHJdR7
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8UGL2dZfl
美諾特等了很久，終於開口：「你……沒有話想說？」114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOwceF3uyR
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCukmFg0WkE
艾倫轉頭，看著她：「我不知道怎麼說。」114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4SavqwF1K
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z73CIdl6z
「那你是怎麼想的？」114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1biRPJcbH
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyy44Lpy8h
艾倫沉默了一會。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrT5PJKTKK
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACEtTEEJg6
「我其實……不知道該說什麼。」他慢慢說，「我只知道，我不想讓妳難過。但如果我說『沒關係』，妳會不會覺得我在敷衍？如果我不說話，妳又會不會以為我在介意？」114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIoN7CGYux
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho6AtkDlsR
美諾特眼眶泛紅：「所以你打算一直坐著？」114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8wQ3k8amF
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DwjJiDrCd
艾倫沒有回答。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUlJdzSrPQ
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbatHuiEFK
他沉默了很久，然後小聲問：「醫生……有沒有說不能經常……那個……？」114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiWplNl58d
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm0ltyqqYu
美諾特愣了半天，然後一拳捶在他胸口：「色狼！」114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9EHRtnVbI
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjiH8iGnhz
艾倫捉住她的手，終於笑了。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvqntIXGE3
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkjqyqx6lX
美諾特哭著哭著，也被他逗笑了。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4mkRAXjaQ
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1ZyRgHcUJ

窗外突然閃過一道光。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgTLPjgOnK
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxmvUq8MOu
艾斯彈起來，撲到窗邊——舞台方向爆炸了。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lSpOBBZsh
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFex9jCOacL
他看見艾倫跑向現場。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyyLxTJMZH
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ044JzGDY
脖子上的石頭，發燙。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEMzfbomgq
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQumKxs09C

那個星期六上午，艾倫去巡邏，下午就傳來他重傷的消息。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX5iqdyGKA
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAagVZe55KL
他被送到喬丹名下的私家醫院。手術很順利，撿回一命。現場除了爆炸痕跡，他背部中了三槍。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bpFXMtwAk
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOLzth3TSl
三槍，都避開了要害。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuK3ZrKTle
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJED1tEFG8F
像是開槍的人，根本不想殺他。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigE7nHvwaL
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SYvHzpQ0V

美諾特在醫院守了一整夜。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82mWYbXDjQ
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdZ1QifCzg
艾倫醒來後，她第一句就說：「我們分手吧。」114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxakg7eVMr
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4NwvhMswG
艾倫愣住：「妳說什麼？」114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb6JCc8Zbf
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkv28MVx25
美諾特哭了：「我不想失去你。」114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakmTKNpXKq
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF1WMSp5JQ
艾倫沒有說話，只是握住她的手。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoxAdDYKdF
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIADi5vWt3
「我不會讓妳失去我的。」114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso9hNkGaSM
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca8K7cxCdE
美諾特哭得更厲害了，但沒有再掙開他的手。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSwZc9BoG2
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLstl0Nk51

警方找不到任何疑犯，只留下一塊奇怪的碎片——像金屬又像石頭，化驗不出是什麼物質。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBwcuSumtV
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT5voMvEYe
後來，這塊碎片在證物房神秘失蹤。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkrLfnzoma
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY5bMHpFjJ

艾倫休養後，屢破奇案，從普通警員升到總部主管。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRpFwrwzE7
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRe1wtrrbH
那幾年，美諾特也大學畢業。兩人的補習事業，存夠了一百萬。喬丹終於點頭讓兩人正式結婚。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrDiyWdRTo
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNKHKRiMf7
那張一百萬的支票，喬丹沒有收回，當作結婚禮物。他還送了一間位於半山的房子，是美諾特小時候住過的那間。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUFIqZmAbX
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT8UWRADFd
「這間房子，本來就是留給妳的。」喬丹說。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyCEMZeTrs
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQTUznSNm5
美諾特哭了。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd30BKPZvW
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBiQGLgJ2j

婚後不久，上級保送艾倫到國外進修。美諾特二話不說，跟著去。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LOxiylL72
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k325Vs3V6
在陌生的國度，美諾特從零開始，自己找學生、自己教。頭幾個月收入少得可憐，但她沒有放棄。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfASDLEZag3
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcyaqfKqH2
第一年，她勉強站穩腳步。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAZYGouE6B
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5HcpooH9F
第二年，開始有穩定學生。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTNCAOACRR
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdoKqFha82
艾倫放學回家，總有飯吃；做功課做到半夜，總有杯熱飲在桌面上。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqka2nwvdw2
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuqaKmgrry
美諾特不是為了錢—艾倫的津貼足夠兩人生活。她只是不想做一個只會等丈夫回家的女人。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttJbP4knMM
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7Jb8mENrP
兩年後，學業完成，兩人回香城。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejmHJAuJkd
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14ziWx20qH

兩口子在國外那兩年，一直想要孩子。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3eVxRGA2f
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGjc7sQTxS
結婚前就知道多囊難有，但兩人都沒放棄。一個月、兩個月、半年、一年——沒有。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjJ14P3jWd
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlwf65YqJ5
回香城後，又過了幾年。仍無消息。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XSKO9SJz7
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG6VXadGw5
直到一個叫艾斯的男孩出現。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eYfMtzpDt
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OUghjm22t
那一年，艾倫三十歲，美諾特二十九歲。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkdI6prrCw
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy6opWW7f4

車裡，艾斯握著鏈子。石頭燙得刺手。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8jVAZpcN1
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgGeZG2Mpb
然後他聽到一個聲音，很微弱，像隔著很厚的東西傳過來：「......斯......艾......」114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh3qofCesU
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBE9WOtXEe
艾斯整個人定住了。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk2FeI29pT
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmwQOHfCiZ
「你是誰？」114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXivRUqMOIY
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ixKXJeml7
聲音沒有再出現，但石頭震了一下。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3uMyZxzUi
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSSNd9bTXx

二十年過去。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj50sZxsgCB
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIpunDSkWq
當年的窮小子，如今已是警察總長。有房有車有老婆，還有一對兒女。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND8Gt5TOE0
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfpkJ3GMvP
而當年那宗懸案，他到現在也沒弄清楚是怎麼回事。那塊失蹤的碎片，偶爾還會在他腦海中浮現。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQWKsJX40T
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLX1UojIZI
艾倫看著兒子的背影。艾斯已經走到旅行車旁，拉開車門，鑽了進去。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeinlH4K84
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1B9EW8aCi
他笑了笑。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqdoHbRADB
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCnx2UZWEh
正要轉身繼續巡場，對講機突然響起。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0vNwKmbEQ
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpS9pm3jDb
「總長，舞台附近有點不對勁。」114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbJzdxECED
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm9QZi34PK
「什麼事？」114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M7QaiMqYv
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3HmPpvZJM
「有……有光。很強的光。」114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4p9OMUVTY
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDyZTlyPyE
話音未落，遠處傳來一聲巨響。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurnnlxsK6x
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyL4pL0fkJ
艾倫猛地轉頭，望向旅行車—114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uLAB28oRD
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRciMnPTG5
艾斯還在裡面。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wCbJCjHdK
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUFXYceu6O

枕月山房。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1oHm6NBGV
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeGce8Xrtb
喬月坐在窗邊，手裡握著一條新月吊墜。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCiVbvZ3de
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8gj3afR5G
喬丹走過來，在她身邊坐下，伸手輕輕攬住她的肩。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AwUMVd6Wq
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfO2Mj3PfY
喬月靠了過去。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o8IfjhVNn
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6rhfPdyS8
「會沒事嗎？」她輕聲問。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtStGJzLdN
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3WaoD7VuN
「會的。」他說，「我們都在。」114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDZJHuS5qs
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU1BKmPIZw
月光靜靜照著兩個人。114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMKno8yIHL
