豬欄邊的豆花香 - 第一章石磨與紅磚的日子——豬欄蓋在雨田邊2

傳生將佢抬出欄外个時節，目珠紅紅。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYEa19f1du

丁妹提一盆水，講：「洗洗手，歇一下。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxGuMIRxHY

傳生無應聲，淨講一句：「一隻去，賺个錢就少一份。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7pQ1t4weo

丁妹看著佢，慢慢講：「命較要緊。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvMcbYalZE

這句話，輕輕个，卻像釘仔打入心肝肚。

幾日後，庄頭有人傳，講別庄有豬瘟。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQGxLVrr4s

「會傳過來無？」阿婆皺眉。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5td7b7D6b

傳生夜來無睡，提燈入豬欄，看豬仔呼吸。佢个影，在紅磚牆項搖來搖去。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmNPevgtHj

「若這欄出事，咱會空。」佢心肝肚想。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa64dldwwiS

丁妹半夜起身，行到豬欄邊。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wnnq5gnHk

「你還毋睡？」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lkM1DTgGz

「毋敢睡。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde8V1aKD8h

丁妹無講理，淨陪佢坐在欄邊。兩儕聽著豬仔呼嚕聲，一聲一聲，像算命。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0csGvbyEur

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJsmITkcp1

彼年秋收，稻穀曬在埕項。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRN0vhxkA8

豬仔總算平安長大，賣價較前一年好。傳生提著現金，手還會顫。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ9aMbqySU

佢在市仔看見一個年輕人，講要去高雄工廠做事，月給固定。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20Qkvb5o4S

「做豬辛苦，做工較穩。」對方講。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgpxFQ5J7O

傳生心肝肚一震。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HVyfhZWGd

佢想起紅磚牆、石磨聲、丁妹个影。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65swkzCK1T

最後，佢無留在市仔問工頭。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACW2p4NL9v

佢提著錢轉庄。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfWnDmKxOl

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzE1kCj678

暗晡頭，兩儕坐在門口食豆花。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRouqjSOw63

豆花軟軟，糖水甜甜。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSuO95f1mk

傳生講：「外背有人講，去都市做工較好。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUhkaFLqKO

丁妹看著遠遠个田，講：「你欲去？」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoPPqzJmoh

傳生搖頭：「這地，我砌起來个。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeDTGO0aWX

丁妹笑笑：「有你个手印。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G0azdhc3P

佢个手指，確實留著砌磚个繭。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFPr4n2Gz9

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSjwocWtcL

入冬个時節，庄頭辦中元祭。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdkMC5VKpy

豬公祭係大事。往年鍾家無豬，今年傳生講：「明年，咱嘛出一隻。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96iRb3JQI6

丁妹看著佢，目珠微微亮。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzfBCWGvnY

庄頭人聽著，講：「入贅仔敢會頂真？」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSSxz1keh6

傳生無辯，淨係做。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpDkuHIJFW

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aawumTY19

有一暗，月光特別清。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTBsMzBAxH

傳生坐在豬欄邊，手摸紅磚。磚頭粗粗，卻溫溫。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4QjSQv0bR

佢低聲講：「阿爸，若有看著，莫嫌我入贅。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaeHOzo7Yl

風吹過田肚，稻葉沙沙響。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSILmTfYK2d

丁妹在門口看著佢个背影，心肝肚暗暗講：「這男人，無講情話，淨會做。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ceskc1eqx

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NQTamXR4h

石磨聲又起。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16p9G1wN4e

「咿呀、咿呀。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIwZ47rEBK

像歲月轉動。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0SlavR65V

雨田邊个豬欄，一年一年，牽著這屋下个氣脈。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wrKvDNZKe

傳生開始知影，生根毋係一時个決定，係無論落雨抑係天光，攏有人在欄邊守著。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW5ptDz6iG

隔年春頭，雨水比往年濟。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeoJEwuydj

內埔鄉个田肚水滿滿，圳溝潺潺流。傳生天未光就起身，看水勢。雨若再落，怕會淹到豬欄腳。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWtbvXwaZv

佢提鋤頭，在欄邊挖一條細細个排水溝，泥土一鏟一鏟翻起來。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo1hs1DRIb

丁妹在屋簷下看著，喊：「歇一下，食碗豆漿再做。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13lfGs8vm1

傳生抹汗：「等水退。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO3ECBXSAh

雨落到第三日夜半，果然水淹到欄邊。紅磚牆下半截濕透。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCX75j8rOW

兩儕提燈巡視，豬仔擠做一堆，哼哼叫。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAqqfVylKf

「莫驚。」丁妹拍欄杆。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vb4NmUItC

傳生看水位，心肝肚算：若再高兩寸，就會入欄。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsms7Ovb83U

佢臨時拆下舊門板，墊在低窪處，做一道擋水个坎。泥水沖來，拍在門板項，濺到佢个褲腳。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zT5hlzADi

天光个時節，雨歇。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lq2RwiSxz

水慢慢退落去。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82d7mATdh4

傳生坐在泥地項，笑一下：「撐過咧。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxNEdJ0niZ

丁妹將一條乾布搭在佢肩膀：「這豬欄，像細人仔，愛顧。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCSk4qx0yV

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdh5HU3DIe

庄頭个話，從來無停。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3rGwtZEXn

有人講：「入贅仔這下會賺咧。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGltBjh6OdJ

嘛有人酸：「運氣好，無遇著大病。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyCCfefeGl

傳生聽著，無多話。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq6eyfQc0d

佢知影，養豬無永遠順風。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6HxBPHnP6

果然，彼年夏尾，隔壁庄傳來豬瘟。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKqQ2eoq6v

市仔个價錢一下跌落去。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyrnsidCwu

傳生牽兩隻去賣，買主看一看，壓價壓到心肝肚發痛。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNNg0NytIT

買主講：「若毋賣，會再跌。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZewT0oH1Y5

傳生站在市場个塵土肚，手捏繩索，遲疑。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTBHg9WMhd

若賣，賺無幾多；若毋賣，飼料錢又添。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobgqLA8irN

最後佢還係放手。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTtBat1OCI

繩索交出去个彼一瞬間，佢个手心空空。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0tiaDI7xS

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoWwm0jQLr

暗晡頭轉屋下，丁妹看佢面色，就知影價錢毋好。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ4UJoOMiF

佢講：「無要緊，豆花這幾日賣較好。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjQAOEtvea

傳生抬頭：「妳又去市仔擺攤？」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXQEwNVYi3

丁妹點頭：「天光就去，天未光就磨。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnE3uJpFOF

佢个手指長期浸水，皮膚發白。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeltvj9SSd

傳生看著，心肝肚有一絲刺痛。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7ePteAG69

「辛苦妳。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUM4Xj820V

丁妹笑：「一家人，分麼个你我。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuTPmcBTFo

中元將近，庄頭開始準備豬公祭。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjDNf1pAy9

往年鍾家無豬，今年本來傳生想出一隻。偏偏價錢低，家計緊。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jVRao9b9o

阿婆問：「還出無？」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFZfDIIc1O

傳生沉默。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0BaF0ajUU

丁妹看佢一眼，講：「若無，就無。誠意較要緊。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftlxqNGkfG

祭典彼日，庄頭个豬公一隻一隻排好。鍾家个桌頂，無整隻豬，淨一大盤白白个豆花，中央點紅糖膏。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdC1biZh7Y

有人私下講：「無豬，敢會見笑？」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw1LBnRDLP

丁妹雙手合十，拜得端正。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQzhclouGK

傳生站在佢身邊，背挺直直。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMIq6XJDOJ

伯公前个香煙直直升，風輕輕吹。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F5Fcnupm8

庄頭个長輩行過來，看著豆花，講一句：「這豆花，做得清甜。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguC60HZQOv

傳生心肝肚一震。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5vEo4s6VC

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPX9EM9FZh

彼夜，月光照在紅磚牆項。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMKmaswtcJ

豬欄肚个豬仔安靜食糠。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK3Rbk0QBm

丁妹坐在門檻項，講：「今晡日無見笑。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh2IvrBV3j

傳生點頭：「無。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZNpB8CUwc

佢想起市場个壓價，想起雨夜个門板，想起庄頭个閒話。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMu9QqPkZ1

這條路，毋係人拍手个路。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuAqzq0pC6

係一步一腳印，踩在泥土肚个路。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84aXSBHp6L

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYDKw7BPFI

幾個月後，丁妹發現自家身體有異。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSVpV35JGx

早起欲磨豆个時節，忽然頭暈。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFR9ZU6yKu

阿婆看一眼，笑笑講：「怕係有喜咧。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiHbb3cHNU

傳生聽著，愣一下。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPHIWcnGaq

「真个？」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEePj77NKf

丁妹無講話，淨低頭。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgeJS2sO1L

屋肚突然安靜下來，連石磨都像停一息。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8LztOPX6E

若真个有細人仔，這紅磚豬欄，就毋單淨係兩儕个根。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUdpVUwNau

會係下一代个影。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSsmDOV2WU

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB1jBRobKf

夜深。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmYHYxyU72

傳生坐在豬欄邊，手摸著粗粗个磚面。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8PYk60hQp

佢低聲講：「若真有倈仔抑係妹仔，這地，會記得咱个汗。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0zANQxFYz

風掠過雨田，稻尾輕輕響。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoreJDRYSYj

石磨聲在屋肚慢慢轉起來。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19A7Q2qGcR

「咿呀、咿呀。」

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBvPxFrl27

像時間無停，像命運在暗暗推動。

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTILQVOqKB2

雨田邊个豬欄，紅磚一塊一塊，正替一個未出世个生命，守著第一道風雨。
