冬日，藍天，小雪。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LX8PRb28a

空氣乾冷，每次呼吸都會令肺部生起輕微灼痛之感。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3F2LejKoJ
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwZV81vaU9
帶娣不期然騰出手來，將掩鼻布巾稍稍拉整，以保存溫熱濕潤的鼻息。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKMfUjKsBK
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgOsELwri1
「若有快馬一匹，那該多好！」她心想。雖說不是弱質纖纖大家閨秀，但背負整整一籃子大蘿蔔在寒冬雪地上陡步行走於她亦是一件苦事。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbUoeF7D6V
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20L8UEGd7u
「小姐。」忽爾有道男聲叫住帶娣：「有興趣占卦嗎？」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xS70zPTA5
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxU2DFaM7b
帶娣循聲望去，只見不遠處梅樹下有一老者正在向她點首微笑。沒有回應的必要，但帶娣自然而然地回了句：「不了。沒錢。」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qj4uJddCC
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4A3Pl2Ib6
「免費的。」老者沒有絲毫不悅，掏扇撥涼。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOyJ3HE1uT
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMbFTfVA88
「那麼好？」帶娣生起戒心——世上哪可能有這麼便宜的事情？387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0msPUCA0cU
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw2wbn9E1Q
「占卦師乃神明和凡人之橋樑，工作不外乎『為凡人找答案』和『為神明傳遞訊息』。」光頭紅頰白長鬚的老者笑意盈盈，遠看活像寺廟神像。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdfoMKwl1P
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUtRjghOZE
「我沒需要找答案。」帶娣斷言拒絕，再次開步。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI1EDWPAKL
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIGEaVKNpD
「但神明託我傳訊息給你。」老者不急不躁，語速不徐不疾：「關於你的終身大事。」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7uXCfk2pq
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M8ZpT2BHN
這話正中帶娣下懷——終身大事！387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxl3pQSxkZ
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4ZGJlqkty
農村女大多十三、十四歲時出嫁，以早日生孩子，為夫家提供更多工作人口。而且農村人自知身份卑微，對成親對象沒多要求，只消四肢健全、頭腦正常、能夠正常工作，再醜再窮亦不會乏人問津。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwNvUoDMRJ
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2B0cOw4x2
但單身的帶娣下個月將要踏入十九歲！387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0vjy1mOwk
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn761r1E0lg
怎麼會無人提親？不知有多少鄉里背著她議論紛紛，甚至有人已認定帶娣是個壞孬子，有意無意疏遠她、孤立她……387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPEtHVcfCr
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFzEXKrRy2
帶娣神色緊張，急步走向老者，恭敬誠懇道：「請你為我占卦吧。」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxgHnBo8aO
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2YxNTvahs
老者樂呵呵的，欣然答應。唸咒。神明附身，雪地寫字，神明歸位。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrClYF8NX8u
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqgyXKchQP
老者甫看見地上文字，立即換上一臉驚喜：「恭喜你！神明說你的真命天子將於小寒當日子時路經這梅花樹！你們會一見鍾情，共諧連理，白頭到老！」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkcqbrHT3l
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul7XyPexW3
帶娣聞言大樂，主動奉上三條大蘿蔔送予老者表達謝意。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZfdI3LCfB
回家以後，帶娣一直心心念念小寒當日將會出現的那抹身影。神不守舍，工作頻頻犯錯，招致金錢損失。老爹問清緣故後悖然大怒：「你這笨蛋！怎麼會相信占卦這回事？動動腦筋吧！」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbDdE2LqN1
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM68hZ9EoQ
罵聲震天，吵得鄰居們清楚聽到對話內容。帶娣成為村中笑柄，人人皆拿她當笑料。自尊受損，帶娣提不起勁工作，乾脆窩在家裡呆等小寒到來。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWA24dGHkZ
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgr8MIvm7H
顏面受損，加上帶娣不願工作，老爹對帶娣更是沒甚麼好臉色。某夜，老爹再次因瑣碎小事對帶娣大發脾氣。盛怒之下，他失控暴打帶娣。帶娣咬緊牙關，不吭一聲，雙臂抱頭護著臉蛋，心中只求不要被打得臉青鼻腫，以免在真命天子心中留下不好印象。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl2yET0vHe
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXOf4rrgOp
踏入亥時，帶娣所有家人已倒頭大睡。她抵著劇痛起床，匆匆梳洗打扮，披上厚衣離家，趕在子時之前到達梅花樹下。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOY60O0PED

寒。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7tHAHLftC
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eBRSIQR3d
「小寒」標誌著開始進入一年中最寒冷的日子，奈何身寒不及心寒。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrUoxVs1kZ
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRxrn8tRdp
對方會出現嗎？387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xWfG10TGc
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd6G51mwsW
「會。」她再三告訴自己，強要自己堅持下去。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1unrzb70XH
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BEMQONCEf
對方會嫌棄她是窮困潦倒的大齡農家女嗎？387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeJfmS3YPT
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLVGeHNuOa
「不會。」她不停催眠自己，未來夫君定會待她如珠如寶。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVUnJb5hJK
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArX7ypeeB4
身體的痛、環境的寒和內心對幸福愛情的憧憬形成強烈對比，她的思緒於希望與失望之間來回跳躍。忐忑、不安、未知將她情緒推向極致。不可以！她誓要把眼淚強忍下來——總不能甫見面就哭得一塌糊塗。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsoP3AmxxV
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86yYrKxMJP
痛。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8O9e5U5Ao
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OW2801LwO
頭痛欲裂。後腦剛才被老爹重擊過，加上此刻寒風吹襲，受傷位置彷如被巨石擠壓，思緒漸見不清。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWudVN3VKwC
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVtGZtxh6B
這棵樹？那棵樹？哪棵才是神明所講的梅花樹？387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7krnyeySy
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAVzCXr76Q
有可能趕在子時前去到嗎？387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrgml5ocqm
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUqMZoK2F7
若果遲到，對方會否離開，不再出現？387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvNQedMGxa
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QkMro8R6G
絕望。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqOP9BRHgw
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmvkSB4rnD
帶娣意識到自己沒可能在一片樹林中找到那棵樹。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8bVaX4l8h
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMDHXmNJLM
跌坐地上，哭。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj3FQ4DhBD
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvZ0ED1uFo
撕心裂肺。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuXlSMlNOn
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItGfw94fax
颯颯風中，倏忽聽見杳杳嗓音：「你在找我嗎？」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeiJXaqlZ5
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1DRGDWzb9
帶娣抬頭，驚見不遠處聳立一棵參天梅花樹。她連忙止住哭聲，撐起身子往梅花樹跑去。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx0wyjM940
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzuTWq19S7
樹下有人影。對方面朝前方、背對她。帶娣不假思索，衝前從後環抱對方。對方沒有掙扎，轉過身來將她擁入懷裡。帶娣哭，哭中帶笑，笑容裡滿是幸福快樂：「是真的！真的有人會愛我！」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUknyWebTT
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XyTGf2tYu
她抬起頭，想要看看真命天子的臉。誰料天上繁星突然變亮，星光耀眼得她再也睜不開眼……387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QWX9h4bQ6
日。眾人在樹林中找到她的遺體。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4swXiArpt
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5cFOrTtjt
老爹呼天搶地，自責對帶娣動粗。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p6LFMKNFo
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpeVg7e3ld
村民口頭上紛表惋措，說帶娣其實是個很不錯的女生。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud9UcXGWpW
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfegDIAk4fQ
老者從路人口中聽見帶娣遭遇，心裡發笑：「她真笨！我為了騙幾個大蘿蔔而亂說一通，怎麼她會相信？」
