二零一六年十月。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yQsFquz9B

汗水。躁動。螢幕的螢光。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X8LsuBLsq

灣仔的空氣像是一塊被擰不乾的濕抹布，悶熱得讓人想把皮膚也一併撕下來。那種熱不是乾爽的烈日，而是夾雜著修路地盤的柏油味、茶餐廳排氣扇噴出的油煙，以及幾百萬人集體焦慮而蒸發出的體味。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NUDpC73yA

《爆點》辦公室裡，冷氣機發出垂死的嘶吼。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdVrvgh1w5
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE13ToxNW8
倫誕坐在那張快要散架的轉椅上，眼珠子被螢幕上的紅線映得發亮。那條紅線代表的是流量，是點擊率，是這個時代最直接的腎上腺素。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMFK4OF01l
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdKt3TWHlQ
「爆喇。真係爆喇。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkUlaZ5Ank
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVmXHUGMgW
倫誕自言自語，嘴角掛著一絲神經質的微笑。他發出去的那段影片，標題叫〈末代武林英雄的末路：從救世主到斷臂瘋徒〉。這一次，他難得地展現出了某種「媒體人的操守」——他沒有剪接，沒有加工，甚至沒有把焦點對準黃信陵那一記狠辣的斷骨手。他把從豪哥發瘋、警員被打退、到阿珊被撞倒，最後到阿信出手制服的全程，原汁原味地放了上去。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkZ39sUznh
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk9SWrGj41
網民的反應比想像中更癲狂。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCHbMWiiVw
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHykwG3ClXA
【原本以為豪哥係英雄，原來係老千加瘋狗。】61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoqWeizyFV
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyEKrufag5
【個執達主任好型，嗰下真係正當防衛。】61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjmdMbGey7
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPloVll7ooM
【記者珊姐好慘，個左手好似甩咗位。】61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNoGiUvOZi

【豪哥呢種人真係影衰武林，支持執達組依法辦事。】61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FAlIhHvuq
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FZikLQIyr
輿論風向奇蹟般地倒向了阿信。原本可能引發公關災難的「暴力執法」，在豪哥那種歇斯底里的瘋狂對比下，反而成了「專業制服」的典範。阿信的名字沒有在網上流傳，大眾只認得那套沈悶的西裝背影。他成功地隱入了塵煙，繼續當他那個無名、冰冷、按程序辦事的齒輪。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ591lwTHaDb
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx1HwSA6l0
然而，在春園街的天台屋，空氣卻遠比網上輿論更壓抑。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iqhwZ6p6d
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MzE8F3ZdL
跌打酒的味道。那種濃烈的、帶著苦澀辛辣氣息的藥味，成了這間小屋子最近的主調。藍穎珊坐在客廳那張破舊的沙發上，左手用一條三角巾掛在胸前。脫臼復位後的肩膀依然隱隱作痛，那種痛楚是沈悶而持久的，像是有根針沒入骨縫。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXMKGqffZU
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoWSVLOHn8
那一晚在浴室裡的蒸汽、激吻與崩潰，像是一場集體幻覺。之後的幾天，阿信依舊早出晚歸。他沒有提起那個吻，甚至沒有多看阿珊一眼。他照樣睡在沙發上，照樣在清晨五點起床練拳，照樣在臨走前留下一份報紙。但他避開了阿珊的所有視線。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowwGeytkAy
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMuCSI1Hzi
他在逃避。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDCZObBFBB
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzQGRHanij
阿珊知道他在逃避，但他逃得理直氣壯，逃得像個程序錯誤後自動重啟的系統。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ8fckxry0
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ2OjqpKWZ
「藍穎珊，妳坐喺度發夢，隻龜會唔會自己識得換水？」一個尖銳、刻薄、帶著典型柴灣興華邨市井氣息的聲音，打斷了阿珊的沉思。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HIldp8bAl
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUK5KT9Jxs
黃額娘，也就是阿信的母親。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1JySrdc2k
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorBFBif8WV
自從阿珊受傷的消息不知怎地傳到興華邨後，這位被鄰里戲稱為「黃額娘」的老太太，每天都會跨越半個香港，從柴灣坐車來到灣仔。她手裡永遠拎著一壺用保溫瓶裝著、足以讓年輕人喝到反胃的苦澀涼茶，或者是一大袋標榜「補骨」的豬大骨。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDaiFgwURB
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4X6oWTx1x
她進門的第一件事，就是用那種像是在看待違章建築的眼神，掃視一遍這間天台屋。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw0YhjIgf0
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dJ91uRQop
「嫲嫲，珊姨姨手痛呀，妳唔好鬧佢啦。」澄澄抱著書包，躲在阿珊身後，探出半個腦袋，替阿珊求情。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFJukHO76j
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGivL1UxNX
「手痛？手痛係因為佢唔知死。」黃額娘把手裡的環保袋重重地放在那張搖搖欲墜的餐桌上，發出砰的一聲。「去做記者，做得好哋哋唔去做財經、唔去做時尚，要去影人哋收樓？佢係咪覺得自己條命好硬？妳知唔知阿信為咗佢嗰單『意外』，寫咗幾多張報告？佢仲要錄口供呀，藍穎珊。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Wg1vEtDI2
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5lYT9LolT
阿珊垂下頭。她知道這間屋內的空氣改變了。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudefadT7W8
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GVkTeXS11
黃額娘是個極其敏銳的女人。她在那天晚上推門進來接澄澄時，只憑著阿信那個比平時更僵硬的脊梁，以及阿珊那件明顯不合身、卻洗得太乾淨的白襯衫，就嗅到了那種屬於男歡女愛的餘燼味。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4fqe4T5Wk
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtDsXQ49KK
那種味道讓她火大。不是因為她不喜歡阿珊，而是因為她太了解自己的兒子。她知道阿信正在玩一場危險的心理博弈，而在她眼裡，藍穎珊就是那個隨時會讓阿信傾家蕩產的莊家。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7rZhJeclv
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmulCNv34kR
「阿信返工好辛苦，佢呢幾日連食飯都無時間。」黃額娘一邊熟練地打開廚房那個油膩的抽油煙機，一邊頭也不回地數落著。「妳呢？妳除咗坐喺度，仲識得做咩？藍穎珊，我同妳講過好多次，呢間屋唔係畀妳嚟度假嘅。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosS4d3MUUc
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbHcICqFMd
「對唔住，伯母。」阿珊低聲說。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGj6hmJI7z
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMivLjXxW9
「叫我嫲嫲得喇，澄澄喺度。」黃額娘冷哼一聲，手裡的菜刀在砧板上剁得震天響。「妳哋呢啲後生女，成日以為有真相就大晒。真相可以拎嚟開飯咩？真相可以幫澄澄交學費咩？妳睇下妳自己，受咗傷，工又開唔到，藥費仲要阿信幫妳墊住。妳話妳……」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWaT1JQ3Pa
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4juvfkxplb
「嫲嫲！珊姨姨好叻㗎！網上啲人都讚佢呀！」澄澄大聲反駁。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDPDGDPBGq
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3TI7UYYSe
「叻？叻到要人救？」黃額娘轉過身，那雙遺傳給阿信的銳利小眼睛瞪了澄澄一眼。「妳都係呀，慳啲啦！日日掛住玩，妳珊姨姨教壞妳呀？快啲去寫功課！」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxizLjJhXy
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfeyhrSE1z
澄澄吐了吐舌頭，拉著阿珊走進了那間狹窄的小房間。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG1Ttoj9JL
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb2pebIthW
房門關上的一刻，阿珊靠在門板上，重重地吐了一口氣。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqQ8kuhIEQ
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrFFSziLCY
「珊姨姨，妳唔好理嫲嫲啦。佢係咁㗎，佢話我爸B嘅時候仲難聽呀。」澄澄拍了拍阿珊完好的那隻手，語氣老成得像個小大人。「佢話我爸B係『死木頭』，話佢『生舊叉燒好過生佢』。其實佢係驚妳受苦。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7nWeXmEKo
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOswYq8hin2
阿珊苦笑。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjjIBdcbab
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihS8fkbQ2R
驚我受苦？定係驚我連累佢個仔？在這間屋子裡，她感覺自己像是一個寄居蟹，雖然找到了殼，但那個殼的主人卻隨時想把她抖出來。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHLrXYqW8n
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1nC4orkmW
黃額娘的毒舌在廚房裡持續發射，伴隨著炒菜的香氣和濃煙。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIWQAQqlIa
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mWRKWnIII
「藍穎珊，出嚟食飯！仲要我請妳呀？」那一晚的晚餐，氣氛尷尬得讓人窒息。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNETZcpKL5
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GNm5ctbQO
阿信回來了，帶著一身屬於公務員那種疲憊的汗臭。他坐在餐桌旁，低頭扒飯。黃額娘坐在中間，像個最高法院的大法官。阿珊用右手艱難地握著筷子，試圖夾起一塊滑溜溜的豬骨。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFpi9iOb6d
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlVIz7GZti
「阿信，我同你講，樓下間涼茶舖轉咗手，啲嘢難飲到死。你之後唔好再去買。」黃額娘夾了一塊肉放進阿信碗裡，語氣雖然刻薄，但動作卻溫柔。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNVGG2AuhG
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2o6Lpd2n0
「嗯。」阿信應了一聲。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQDl5ZMp4t
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMhSOvrzbz
「仲有呀，藍穎珊，妳隻手好返之後，諗下自己嘅前途。唔通成世做呢啲『爆點』？聽講嗰個倫生，連勞保都唔幫妳哋買齊？」黃額娘的矛頭再次轉向阿珊。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BcPzP5aJw
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mIp9cxqWQ
「我……我會諗。」阿珊低頭看著碗裡的飯。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeOilMFs4B
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66iqY9lIUu
「諗？諗都要錢㗎。」黃額娘放下筷子，眼神直勾勾地盯著阿珊。「阿信份糧，要供樓、要養澄澄、仲要養埋我呢個老太婆。你哋……慳啲啦。」阿信拿著筷子的手頓了頓，他終於抬起頭，看了母親一眼。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK2wVICZ5m
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrvs4NPDgv
「阿媽，食飯就食飯。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRydTPVPMZu
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5BPgCT4gy
「我講錯咩呀？我係為你哋好。」黃額娘火氣上來了，「你睇下依家呢間屋，亂七八糟，多咗個人，多咗幾多開支？藍穎珊，妳唔好以為我唔知，妳之前欠落嗰啲債，係咪仲未清晒？」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt4vSZ3XAL
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJyHmKmZGE
阿珊的臉色瞬間變得慘白。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT4RZIEmmS
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9W4zoYbc6
那些債，像是纏繞在她腳踝上的毒蛇。雖然阿信幫她還了一部分，但剩下的那些，依然在每個月的出糧日準時吞噬她的戶口。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo0I4kMxba
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ5zFl3Xa9
餐桌陷入了死一般的沈默。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJGwAYOKKz
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nTnw7PmYm
阿信沒有反駁，他只是低頭繼續吃飯。那種默契的沈默，對阿珊來說，比黃額娘的辱罵更讓她心碎。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0GQxUx455
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PSryYbChH
隔天清晨。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKWH0v8GBZ
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs3jigdwPh
黃額娘已經回了柴灣。阿信也已經出門去收另一棟位於大角咀的舊樓。阿珊站在客廳裡，看著那張被整理得一塵不染的沙發。她拿起手機，顫抖著手打開了網上銀行的 App。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmLXgczJyG

阿珊感覺到一陣暈眩。這個月的薪水，在支付了醫院的復位費用、倫誕剋扣的所謂「器材損耗費」，以及那些該死的利息後，只剩下了這十四塊五毛。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jYYjHfgke
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MraxBvQ8E
她翻開錢包。一張十塊錢的紙幣，兩枚兩塊錢硬幣，一枚五毫子。加起來，連二十塊都不到。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpSiCKs18V
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGu2eTGfLL
「珊姨姨，我換好校服喇！」澄澄從房間裡衝出來，背著印有海豚圖案的書包，臉上掛著天真爛漫的笑容。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYpBLzvLqc
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lQJbyftoD
「今日我哋可唔可以去樓下嗰間茶餐廳食早餐呀？我想食嗰個火腿通粉。」阿珊的手緊緊攥著那個空癟的錢包。火腿通粉早餐，一份要二十八塊。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWVJVA4EeI
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1gpe3vCH8
她連一份早餐的錢都沒有。二零一六年十月。這場發生在天台上的「家事」，遠比那場斷骨的搏鬥更讓阿珊感到絕望。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc0nCV6FOv
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjFvzmOI87
她看著澄澄期待的眼神，再看著這間充滿了阿信生活痕跡的小屋。在這裡，她不僅僅是個受傷的記者，她是個連家用都交不出、連孩子早餐都買不起的廢物。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZVVg3NGdq
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCalgJQbqN
慳啲啦。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68KXILczp2

黃額娘的話，像是一記記耳光，在寂靜的早晨裡反覆迴盪。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzun53fdhYD
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uKmjzJd8v
「珊姨姨？」澄澄察覺到阿珊的異樣，拉了拉她的衣角，「妳係咪手痛呀？唔緊要呀，我哋喺屋企食杯麵都得㗎。」阿珊低下頭，眼眶熱得發燙。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkMlEKLAo9
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2mK4M2Z1l
她想起那天晚上在浴室裡，她問阿信：「你就唔可以好好哋咁面對我？」現在她發現，最無法面對現實的人，其實是她自己。她看著那隻在玻璃缸裡緩慢爬行的烏龜。生活就像這隻龜，爬得再慢，也要吃東西，也要換水，也要面對那種名為「家用」的殘酷重力。她拿起那枚掉在地上的五毫硬幣，手心被磨得發紅。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXRG4aLrC4
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqp50mBO8T
「澄澄……珊姨姨今日……想食屋企嘅麥片，好唔好？」澄澄雖然有些失望，但還是乖巧地點了點頭。「好呀，麥片都好食。我幫妳拎個碗！」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbtU2hr5Kq
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND5qilk4T6
阿珊看著孩子跑進廚房的背影，眼淚終於砸在了那個只剩十四塊五毛的銀包上。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDsUX1kc3t

無論妳在網路上多麼英雄，無論妳的點擊率有多高，當妳回到那層幾百呎的天台屋，妳依然要為了一份二十八塊的火腿通粉而感到人格崩潰。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPm0WSOjRu

【後設吐槽】61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQitL2Pujy
阿信躲在「程序」後面逃避，阿珊躲在「真相」後面逃避，但黃額娘不准他們逃。她一進門就聞到了空氣中那股「男歡女愛的餘燼味」。這種中式家庭長輩的直覺，往往比任何執達主任的判決書更準確且殘酷。阿珊最慘的不是被打斷手，而是連請澄澄吃一碗火腿通粉的錢都沒有，這種經濟上的無能感，是港式硬派敘事中最痛的一環。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQDMTQrgdJ
