傍晚過後油麻地的人潮漸漸熱鬧起來，一群群慕名而來的遊客，看著地圖正在找尋旅遊書上的景點食肆。情侶說著笑經過，一邊分享著一串魚蛋。老婦在路邊堆著紙皮箱，大漢忙著開檔擺賣。大大小小的地道食肆，把這條橫街照得比白天還要光亮。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqcE2hhrYq
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN83uZBTPtJ
想著想著，小羽不經不覺走到天后廟對開一個俗稱榕樹頭的公園。平日晚上這兒只有小貓三四隻，今晚竟然擠湧得像假日的羅湖口岸。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsyuqs03gF
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg499ZSHTr
雖說自由街旅客迫爆香港，但這也太誇張了吧...483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYDa5NBbxS
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hsDXcevTb
這裡的人群聒噪不安，甚至有種緊張的壓迫感。公園的氣溫比大街涼了一截，小羽剛才還微微冒汗，現在雙臂都結起雞皮疙瘩。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnAZx7rHEH
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRPNma5loZ
「請大家保持秩序，多謝合作。」一個像是保安員的男人來回巡邏，他應該是跟這群怪胎遊客一伙的，提著個白色紙燈籠，用另一隻手敲著報更的小銅鑼。若然小羽不是在廟街看見他，定會以為這保安是個倒夜香的打更佬。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qin2X07La
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyvre212TD
小羽受不了那邊的奇怪氣氛，轉入很多江湖術士擺檔的睇相街。幾個外藉遊客還在拍照留念，正想坐下來光顧。一名叫盲炳的瞎子相士猛地抬頭「望望」小羽，忽爾又閃閃縮縮別過頭去；旁邊一檔用鳥兒占卜的店，竹籠子內的金絲雀側著頭，似是正在讀桌上的馬經...483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaFtuxYYxD
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhUmqh56UZ
「吱...六場...吱吱...位置連贏三號搭七號啦...」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhm0TCwOUM
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KQTBYBCS9
位置連贏三搭七？483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFL8y5uMpm
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCHdBlshZc
小羽回頭，剛才那聲是雀的叫聲嗎？她好像聽到牠在說人話！鳥兒目光迎上了小羽，忽地跳回籠內暗角，裝作若無其事，然後用翅膀在那圓圓的鳥頭抹一把汗。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi1me6Fzy4
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6ZElFGJZB
「痴線...我定是思覺失調了... 」小羽自言自語。
她望著整條小巷的攤檔，全都寫著「流年運程、看相、睇掌、摸骨」之類的招牌，可是沒有一間聲稱可以聯絡上死人啊。小羽正猶豫應該向那一間店求助，一個胖嘟嘟的太太走過，袋裡提著一大卷白紙。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXzat2SlKz
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrYweYFrTU
這不是剛才購買式神的大嬸嗎？483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTvLHWPi0r
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSVkyzrIof
太好了。小羽偷偷尾隨著這個來歷神秘的大嬸，或許可以找到點頭緒。說實在的，這大嬸除了剛才說了些貪狼呀、牛頭馬面呀之類瘋言瘋語以外，她行為舉止似乎與一般師奶無異。只見她直接走進那個盲炳相士的小檔座上，再在口袋掏出幾個銅錢。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiaYU4Qhdg
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumW1C0v9co
「盲炳，我想要幾道平安符。」那太太似乎和盲炳挺熟絡：「那班人怎麼搞的？一開關就一窩蜂似的湧過來陽間。難道他們不怕被人類發現嗎？」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXEdXW8QjK
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTiWlpU0u3
「你說天后廟外那班鬼魂嗎？沒關係，香港本人外地遊客就很多。多一兩百隻鬼混進來，應該也沒有人發現。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98nP8DsTeP
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGfgZdDZ2P
「是嗎？陽人真遲鈍。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDOOd9F782
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfFJa2ObeJ
「而且啊，一年才一次免簽證過來陽間，一定把握機會囉，說不定會有鬼魂過來走水貨。」盲炳調大風扇的風力，一面說下去：「要是我住在靈界的話，老實說，我也會趁鬼門關大開這個月過來避避風頭。聽說修羅那邊內戰到連大名太子都要逃亡、高棉和暹邏又宣佈交戰，搞不好可能會牽連到九龍水都這邊。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FOam2yTCs
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhgwdusIxG
「唉...」那太太憂心的道：「靈界打仗、陽間又有怪獸...這年頭吶，沒有甚麼地方是百分百安全了。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K7fFbaCHk
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZZsL3M7LF
「怪獸？甚麼怪獸？」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkmOJ0dFwb
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ8okIxSO6
「貪狼嘛。剛才呀，連陽間的電視台新聞都報導了最近無端端心臟病發作死去的人，忽然間多了幾十宗，還誣掐說是甚麼空氣污染造成的。」那師奶一打開話匣子，就像沒打算離開似的：「我看吶，那根本就不關那些工業廢氣的事，而是有野生的貪狼跑到民居了。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8PmqKRinb
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2KBEykyFr
「唉...不是吧...」盲炳點點頭，一副維園阿伯的抱怨腔調：「黑爺白爺都退了下來之後，我這些小巿民只可以自求多福了。一代不如一代，現在在酒場活躍的死神都是群沒出息的小鬼頭，連小小的委託任務都辦不好...」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzIDoENlTe
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC5V0VPDU0
肥太太壓下聲線，望到站在後面不遠處的小羽，開始起疑心：「你還是別亂說了，我也得早點回去試一試剛買的保安用式神。我最怕就是安裝這類家庭電器，讀那些說明書可把我悶個半死。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5HfML3XJQ
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshkjm0AKQG
肥太太收好平安符，急步離開了。臨別還偷望一眼小羽，就像怕這女孩會向甚麼死神打她小報告一樣。
小羽才懶理大嬸的目光，一瞬間坐在盲炳的對面。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHBw8hdb2D
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymPQFlzLtS
「歡迎光臨，本座是廟街第一生神仙。問家宅、自身還是姻緣，找我就對了。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYi8GFbFKs
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs87wS9ncL
「盲炳師傅！」小羽拍一聲把她那裝滿十元廿元紙幣的紅包拍到枱面上：「我要找我的哥哥，無論如何都要。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8ERPH6PNu
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Nl8pxwWhI
盲炳側起頭，好讓其中一隻耳朵聽得清楚一點：「不好意思，妳哥哥在哪裡？」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbluSGvem0Y
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhgfr0BLRq
「他死了。突然心臟病發死了。」小羽叉起手，斬釘截鐵的說：「會不會是你們這幫人口中那隻貪狼怪物做的？」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmJjjGcFdZ
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R93xjNwDH
盲炳聽罷縮了一下，似乎沒估計得到這個小顧客會說這些事。「甚麼怪物？我不知道，我不知道。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheVKyECpGD
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3rAOq1cV3
「你知道的。」小羽怎會給他耍開。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEZJDwI7RY
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCySDMGcha
「小姑娘，妳在哪兒聽說的...」盲炳明明閉上雙眼，卻下意識地左右瞄了一下，用手背掩著半邊嘴巴低聲說：「我們...不可以隨便說關於靈界的事吶。要殺頭的！」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwgFo6Z2DG
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKJ4E0HOP8
「我只想知道，到底怎樣才可以聯絡上我哥哥。」小羽靠前身子：「我懷疑他沒有死。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv0EzVMpNT
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmpWVI9NiK
「他要是真的給貪狼看上，他一定是凶多吉少。」盲炳答得閃閃縮縮：「要是妳堅持想聯絡他的話，可以試一下街尾那檔扶乩...可是吶，貪狼會把靈魂吃得乾乾淨淨，哪有靈魂會回來透過扶乱傳話。又抑或...」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYbUhadUtV
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRevovTBJo
「抑或甚麼？」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv9vEqHiRw
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBm8wbXoAt
「或者妳可以先試一下，趁他七七四九夜回魂夜的時候，先人還未上路，回家在靈前恭上清香一注，靜靜等他。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8zyDADwIO
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkJwYjpqiq
「就這麼簡單？」小羽半信半疑。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIF0y83AiT
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KYBiCCbe5
「就這麼簡單，這要視乎妳兩兄妹緣份。」盲炳搖搖頭：「不過死者已矣，別抱太大期望。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKrf2oqmz8
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSkh9B3SFC
回魂夜...那就是今晚吧！小羽腦袋空白一片，跟盲炳說句再見，仿如裝了彈簧般站起來。大街傳來車輛駛過的噪音，隔壁靈鳥占卜的老闆調高收音機賽馬消息的聲浪：483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeb402bHa6
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mVZP6cyZT
「第六場千六米中途賽，第一名是三號的跑得快、第二名是七號的馬將軍...位置連贏三拖七派彩一千三百五十元...」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0qUr1ogF4

483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvfb39UXRp
占卜店老闆把一顆長滿蟲的士多啤梨放進竹籠，笑眯眯用指頭搔搔枱面上的金絲雀：「乖孩子...」金絲雀叼一口昆蟲，以尖銳的嗓音，清楚明白的說了一句：「說好的雀女呢？」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89Y9xS4KsB
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY75SCZhmZ
「沒問題沒問題，我明天就去雀仔街給你挑。」老闆笑意更濃，決定今晚提早收拾檔攤，回家開支洋酒慶祝。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjax6VlVAVG
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoNBNPuQk4
小羽呆呆的站住，天空飄下來幾滴粉末般輕細的雨水。她摸一下哥哥送給她那對紅色緞帶，感受著胸口那規律的心跳。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe5bfaKNGk
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUly1mTU0D
這不是夢。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQSzZvT71J
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFkWN9tiSj
這是個她認知以外的現實世界！
***
小羽回到家門前，深呼吸一口氣，壯壯膽子。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86pn8tRxkW
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywh7RJ4mJN
依據盲炳的說法，哥哥好有可能在今晚大刺刺的在家裡出現。說不定一打開門，那懶蟲就大字型的伏在梳化看電視。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEoAVxTEE9
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvGCsaioQu
好吧，再想也沒用。死就死，進去吧。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3TYiRJj53
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDKbZujsA8
這是棟二百五呎見方的小單位，沒有房間，一所淺木色的雙格床就放在方形摺枱的旁邊。平常黃炏就睡著上格，小羽睡在下面。女孩子比較多雜物，差不多整張書桌都是小羽的精品和文具。雖然地方淺窄，卻被他兩兄妹收拾得整整有條。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rFZ7wuJoK
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcKStDXtPw
街外傳來貨車駛過的噪音，然後又歸於寂靜。這是唐二樓的單位，要是雙層巴士經過，廚房位置甚至可以跟車上的乘客打個照面。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1C6pnOQvW
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU55bWIujIf
小羽檢查一下洗手間，確認婆婆還沒有回來。她走到神枱跟前，望著爸爸和黃炏的遺照，不禁有點緊張。她照著盲炳的方法，拿出一支香，靜靜的點亮插在爐灰上。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrgM7T2frD

灰色的煙飄渺渺升起，散發著古雅的幽香。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2VXy6jYeh
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNhxfOl4fX
小羽腦海突然冒出一個奇怪的想法：有人從某個地方偷看著自己！？483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiWAQn4L1x
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1NfubG0wP
「哥哥...是你嗎？」小羽眼睛左瞄右瞄。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqrxx6NWrA
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaUaeoTBj3

...有人從很遠很遠的地方說話！483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dn7oqEvBw
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBfXUEScu6
小羽立即轉身，屋內仍舊只有她一人的身影。但她肯定那是哥哥的聲音。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoyR8a0GE7
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE9ieBC15x
那把聲音像蓋在很多層棉胎下面，口齒不清地說：「...小羽...打開門喔...」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5XT53kGWs
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXh5b72Geg
門？483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLe2UpMrPC
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDUXuklMQG
莫非哥哥就在外面？小羽滿心歡喜，打開大門和鐵閘，但走廊內仍舊是空無一人。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNlSDxia4t
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcB1aVrfVz
「你到底在那兒？」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHeiE6FB3r

「笨蛋！我在衣櫃！」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYxLws9RyX
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkocSFq0e2z
！？
小羽一步一步，慢慢走向書桌旁的大衣櫃。剛才她出門之前忘了把門關好，門頁之間空了一條數公分的空隙，燈光沒法照進去，裡面像個漆黑一片的異世界。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeklRXv2pF
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQQYOJCkg5
即使隔著衣服，小羽也看得見自己胸口瘋狂的心跳。她嚥一道口水，向著門扉伸出冒汗的手。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgN9I7SgYt
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYoy7ROudz
「哥哥...」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKAdctmJTV
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJzJLwAvgg
衣櫃裡面一邊是黃炏的大褸、一邊是小羽的衣服，密麻麻的排滿整個衣櫥。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL77cCmMK2D
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdZYEETd2K
沒有人。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp955vtvM4

「嘩！」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AU8o34GOm
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX58RZE2BC
一把男孩的聲突然在耳邊響起，嚇得小羽尖聲大叫！她滑了一跤，跌坐在地上面，不可思議地望著衣櫃裡...那面鏡。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZVQNwpyOz
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXtWdUpbz7
「小羽！終於再見到妳了！」一個戴著黑框眼鏡、頭上飄著個黃色光環的男孩站在鏡前...嗯，正確點說，哥哥就站在鏡子「裡面」！
