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──461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kvH2yecWA
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23rB3Tz1Fs
　　為了親眼確認，那憑空消失的魔物到底是不是真實存在。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvccSxMLfF
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhxtABdwz3
　　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……461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UezvrhfD5
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmSNJjx1Tx
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldOqZFX92y
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuFMDbeDpJ
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7drbLDgXlV
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKODRtvJcLE
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjy5iX7nOu
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAUdPpyBzb
　　不該再想了……要當作沒見過那種生物……461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFluTvWf8fK
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0RPz5JBg8
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWiH7LqSB1
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzekHSjlFNk
　　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？」461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DUnot81re
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJEs3z9TJE
　　村人愣了一下，「小末？是誰啊？」461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuW4wfwzIN
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a7Zhl6XBT
　　「……就…大作家的么子…」461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPytgLdwp9I
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhB1FodkzB
　　「大作啊…他不是只有三個兒子……而且他妻子已經……」461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fRUKhcMlk
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnePs7wXtV
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tDVovEk5J
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YAdnXPhEJ
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70ZCZv4gEN
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrOSOGD31E
　　「那不就是小末嗎？」461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYACL5sHmSN
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6InIAkKTf
　　「是啊，是小末啊。」村人毫無猶疑地回答。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9D3ZLh7Oh
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNzh4HLw5P
　　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……461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp0goQDsNR
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C0YT2gJRi
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFAqScjy8L
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHduowr5H0s
　　方才的事也不像是親身所經歷。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUCShtDbFX
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsV1WGBN1J
　　回到自家小屋中，也就早已遺忘了所有的夢魘。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstnWRHRBOb
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeeQN1qpnD
　　現今的生活還是如同她所冀求的一般，心中也十分平靜。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88s5Rwior8
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3T7b6PeM6
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxi6HtLqe5
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp051c3ihlp
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRPqpLWvGa
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqTp8NkYc3
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr04u59QcZ6
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX5xtesHMT
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jfQ0X5MAl
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu9cHi93WH
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDb2G6eSZo
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNb7lAHcdf
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ493TAuA5tQ
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPgApbu4K5
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn9axfifuB
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9fHQ1hBBr
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7gkjzby8M
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsjPlpfVtw
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ9sdJjuDc
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG0kgM9JjW
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5Ez9jRmEj
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzvRuB8ZpB
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGgTKDtOcJ
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnME2T1xyc
　　再自然不過，就這樣一直活下去……461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsp3MASypF
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMvx3DCH3i
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpFDZybEXI
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn1AOYHuEY
　　或許是有生之年，心中第一次有盈滿的感覺。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIrDUd94Ba
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwja8xOFrjE
　　別過頭，滿山的秋肅氣氳雖然冰涼，卻溫柔地輕拂過萬物。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xlztTo6TE
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9yN8sqhBJ
　　心中的陰影也彷彿要漸漸被帶走般……461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt6v7XljUJ
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CUbLlqUvB
　　「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……」461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ysyhtHIGq
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvbMRNTmC6
　　少婦看著那微笑的雙瞳與嘴角，呆愣地像是置身夢境之中。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9lyuLj9EL
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5kOcbL1rv
　　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……461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3hIovnrwC
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVS2c8q5RN
　　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……」461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbb94kLv1a
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY4d3sosGU
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgyp04QR0W
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6gEoovWMN
　　被捉走的，只有她自己而已……461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDkt3GGNKl

　　「…櫻姬…」461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXddlfbikI
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yseH5PEnL
　　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……461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZBDALqcVG
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIVWrQm3ha
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD3mPm37Tk
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3ZkY6qwyn
　　……自己也化成了一縷輕煙，灑脫地在晴空裡飛散成虛無……461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp7z1XxrNa
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDRUC6xrnU
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpDOE3VuDa
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDlgypknrX
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDDtgMNQFd
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA74VmMgnV
　　祂們的形體就是祂們的意志。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zqo9ZRNqS
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP81DQ8tn3A
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o7DPjGbUf

461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLigWjJ7Sx0
　　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……461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6LDaFpz20
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ597rTKCUDh

461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNvvilTCJG
　　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。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdeLNwFC9w
