翌日，少婦不畏山路辛勞地再次跋涉而下，卻沒有攜帶她重要而必要的藥箱，她只是為了看到──515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZxthXmgYI
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqCHD8X4WN
為了親眼確認，那憑空消失的魔物到底是不是真實存在。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ECH873RUn
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJkPvjl9O1
穗作收割後所留下的田陌空地，似乎有什麼物體搖搖晃晃地伸展而出，將空氣攪成一團爛糊，定神一看，卻只是一陣風颺起。一片片的陰影在地面嬉鬧竄流，然而抬頭所見卻是秋高氣爽的天空……515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjvYYNjsQ8
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6by6JP1Eh
有許多聲音在低笑說著她聽不懂的語言，也聽不見，只覺得震耳欲聾。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCbXG4ublS
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9KAN4lPUV
小末所發現的『卵』再也沒有看見過，而她本人也無任何異常，只是偶爾會大呼小叫地瘋狂歡跳。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfUkS54fL3
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3WqGKcpg7
這裡有許多東西，少婦強烈地感受到，卻也同等強烈地自認為是錯覺。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAyuHLEJWO
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVfoWwBDhK
不該再想了……要當作沒見過那種生物……515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftS0f9e8Mh
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GQ7xWWVzu
自己已不再是過去的那個人了，所以，不應該再看到那種東西的。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmFQ71y7Zk
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhVZwtR0YY
少婦強迫自己鎮定，終於，很快地這片山谷又恢復平日所熟悉的景象。她鬆了口氣，上前向村人問道：「小末呢？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRmJ3TR2ih
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFVy53HE60
村人愣了一下，「小末？是誰啊？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5J5okHgyh
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXg3fSd7mw
「……就…大作家的么子…」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjE9LuzWUy
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8EqAAe1Iu
「大作啊…他不是只有三個兒子……而且他妻子已經……」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ217pwdvme6
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwakqxqVaD
村人的回答碎裂了支撐她思緒的細微意志，就這樣薄弱地摔落地面，把一切不屬於塵事的叫囂與陰影從地底喚醒，它們鑽入天際，歡樂地歌舞著。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiL51PJuKX
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0xAyVKWgw
小末狂笑著從田埂的另一方跑了過來，繞了少婦一圈，又叫嘯著奔到另一頭去。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkqyrPDrnZ
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJHdiFYtcg
「那不就是小末嗎？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GRiPaczJG
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSww1XKmgkS
「是啊，是小末啊。」村人毫無猶疑地回答。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAkZNsOTrg
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx60I1r7Srn
他們對於異象完全無所覺，順其自然地成了異象的一部份，只有自己……515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9tgsjeH0X
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxwUN3jeeu
她潰敗地逃回山林。秋葉紛落、草木枯黃，山林內依舊祥靜如夢醒，即使回頭俯望底下的山谷，也只是普通的村落聚居，沒有任何不安。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53cmqos8Vx
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPwolpNfAy
方才的事也不像是親身所經歷。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JaESqrUzz
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmI00djbVv
回到自家小屋中，也就早已遺忘了所有的夢魘。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWGVHDAf4J
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbpjeDmKxJ
現今的生活還是如同她所冀求的一般，心中也十分平靜。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eiZZHIgWU
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiFGY3NsaZ
然後，熟稔地開始檢選藥材，有些烹煮、有些磨成膏粉，她還得治療一隻受傷的大白貓呢。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ksl73Hvik
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03YPfWOMed
大白貓的男人在白天絕不出門，一到晚上便會鑽入暗林裡獵補山禽野獸。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ9Gwq8CkP
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQg48l72iv
他中毒極深，除非是真正對藥與毒有專精如己的人，否則任是得到了如何珍貴的藥材也將束手無策。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbxwnkP9H1
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaGntOZ2P5
僅管那隻大白貓一雙血瞳是如何兇暴孤僻，最後還是得乖乖地在自己面前把一整帖苦藥給乖乖全數吞下，抱怨不得半聲。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC3SkQr1Df
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0Phpc5mUj
少婦獨自沉靜地坐在幽暗的小屋內，耐心地等待爐燄慢慢將藥湯熬煮得濃燙，以及狩獵完回來得喝下這壺湯藥的大白貓。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0itRijUGmc
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDniJWwk8y
隔了兩日之後，少婦再次背起藥箱走下山頭，然後，一如過往為村民治病與傾聽他們的交談。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjiNJG7bYD
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk8RWXqm25
沒有什麼異樣，也不再有魔物出現。甚至原本該注意小末的事都不復記憶。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm8SNMWXEM
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK7PyJe1pD
入秋了，晚風開始吹得冰涼，而西落的日光也更是紅得耀眼，農收的男人皮膚被染出一層通紅。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBQT9Udgos
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4vCf1jpKz
穀子被堆在空地上曝塞，入夜前又得忙著收拾在穀缸內。女人們紛紛拿出禦寒的衣物來縫補，小孩子被吩咐要在臨近的林地收集好可以添火的枯枝。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkINe9QqCW
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWNjGGKRaQ
少婦則拿出一些藥材分贈村人，加入烹煮的食物裡食用能抵禦冬冷的寒氣。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUKOKRlAax
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IxbocKt4v
為了明日的存活與生計又再不停地忙錄著，這是身為人類在大地上極其自然的行為。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78I6OPoBdt
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GWoeKKT2t
再自然不過，就這樣一直活下去……515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuAg0hV2Ae
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8MCFq1N5Q
走在山路上，少婦忽然有些依依不捨地回頭，並不怎麼稀奇的天空與雲、與山、與谷、與溪、以及那不起眼的普通村落，都讓人產生矇矓的眷戀。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFZHM7BdqE
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogqtNxSAdC
或許是有生之年，心中第一次有盈滿的感覺。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeF479sMf0
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSsHeSnhGv
別過頭，滿山的秋肅氣氳雖然冰涼，卻溫柔地輕拂過萬物。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOMT3InqMe
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yCsLPrjUq
心中的陰影也彷彿要漸漸被帶走般……515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfs100ZSdZ
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslwQEWB4T7
「怎麼了？妳要忘了我嗎？」快要被遺忘的臉孔，拖著綿長的身體乘風而來，她模仿著輕風的溫柔，用眾多手臂裡最前端的一雙取下了少婦的帽紗，「妳正在呼喚著黑闇喔……」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BXpMycF4b
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBveOtjRZd
少婦看著那微笑的雙瞳與嘴角，呆愣地像是置身夢境之中。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR4ICWkDsu
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfAz1Rp5pC
一直藏匿的臉孔被揭了開來，她的面容一如多年以前姣好而年輕，即使歲月與人事在眼神裡添加了風霜，也只被深藏於黑瞳深處……515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwEfU18zfU
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiAcU8gXk9
那個曾經是被小末所發現的『卵』、被少婦所喚作『神』的魔物，像是滿意少婦的臉孔而吃吃地天真笑起，「小末的靈魂應該很鮮美吧，對不對？…不過那個沒有辦法拿走，所以…妳的給我……」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHeHGkkJWg
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQO71fT3vj
秋風掃起了滿山紅黃枯葉，也捲起了塵埃，優雅得如同日常一般。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfNph5ZH31
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OOBRaojwm
被捉走的，只有她自己而已……515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaugI2aS6xU
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcKRC9hKX0
「…櫻姬…」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K5g0HwpLB
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNUVc94KRs
當神魔喚出自己的真名時，陳封的記憶也將被打散，如同落葉般地漫天紛飛……515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZMuI0znPK
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucqIL3vQEl
不知在何處的小末，帶著滿足的笑容蜷曲身體，無數隻蟲蛆忙碌地在她身旁蠕動吐絲、用繭做成了與世隔絕的球殼，於是小末就在殼裡逐漸回溯到她還是小嬰兒的年紀，從腳尖開始一點一滴地退化縮小，成了吐絲造繭的蟲蛆形態，當她完全消失時，薄殼破裂開來，腐土伸出一雙死槁但充滿母愛的手指，把它帶回地底。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmLVecRh53
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SMfn4I5W1
……自己也化成了一縷輕煙，灑脫地在晴空裡飛散成虛無……515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp1SHzm350
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQBsYdp6TB
無數蟲蛆辛勤地鑽入山道鬆軟土壤，沿路栽植出比花瓣斑斕的彩蛹，它們像是葉片一樣舒捲開來，從中伸出了數支芽臂，頂端密集的頭顱們齊聲地唱著似曾相似的歌謠。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzXjJ3AnPM
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYt4pxz1ge
拖曳著贅長羽毛、與葉片同樣嬌小的鳥兒在芽臂與葉片間輕靈地鑽竄，長在鳥腹上以翼作手的小人用爪子抓起唱歌的頭顱飛翔，於是每一顆頭顱都開始尋求自己的軀體，在落到地面時都具有各自喜歡的模樣，骨肉血脈尋求自由地掙脫既定的形體拘束，像是飛禽也像走獸、同時是飛禽走獸都不會有的形態。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRR5Gav6NS
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG4XmwGgap
祂們的形體就是祂們的意志。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lpsoHpgN6
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3fxLystpa
整座樹林也是有著自由意志的活物，正愉快地向上伸展枝椏，佔據了整片蒼穹。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPgJabU9Bj
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb6hwy5z4N
數不清的赤紅眼睛在黑暗密林裡燿燿燃起……515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJtCi9hCCx
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFIixDtXTR
片刻的瞬間，魔物們就驅走了時光的存在。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROakGE8Z1K
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4ZfLEp2ce
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOPw9fAbYc
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCL3FjURzi
……好靜謐啊……515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrBAP63apd
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4kctLPOvQ
這裡是溫暖又靜謐的黑暗世界，是永遠沉睡之處……515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdlzXRz7F3
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYLQvqWRjA
就在這裡沉睡吧，陷入深深的睡眠，連夢境都無法叨擾。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFWk0GIlIR
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyWKtc5BDn
……永不清醒……515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUMhWgUwfb
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNltJlL912
只要在自己的小屋內，靜靜地等著爐火熬藥，心裡就會安心。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAxech3mXV
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6VO73rpxT
苦蘿根、芍香等易生常見的藥用植物，由毒蛇糞土裡生長的劍藤才真正具有解毒功能，而難以栽種的七葉蘭在此地從六葉甚至九葉都有，麻雀花是人畜皆懼的毒物，卻也是治療絕症的極效品……515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUh3DRrf6z
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3lSB2HiYX
一個又一個地細數著所有的藥材，終於連自己心底的喧噪聲音也不再聽聞。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v7rhFqqh0
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRcmPcITfY
其餘事物都毫無義意。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRMzZHYXVK
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pNWursF1V
但是受傷的大白貓卻撬開門扉，他中毒極深，除非是真正對藥與毒有專精如己的人，否則任是得到了如何珍貴的藥材也將束手無策……515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqFgF0B12R
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMvRKOeXG2
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINRtL0w8x5
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWVkCgvsgU
──死白的粗壯手臂硬是扯破了美好的沉靜墨色──515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY17Bl439K
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR52qk9us9k
大白貓敏捷而有力的爪子撕裂魔物們攀上櫻姬的觸手，魔物們不怒反笑地顫動著，他只得用比任何魔物更加血腥的赤瞳來斥退祂們。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUBKxweHlt
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5Zwvqnsmw
野獸般的哮吼刺耳刮骨，黑暗世界變得既破碎又褪色，魔物們大笑，像是妥協地讓出光影與時間，而後鼠竄地一哄而散。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wdf6utg98
