雜念集 - 幽幽冬夜（生活 / 人性）

他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgwcbEXywn

看著她因嚴寒而打顫，看著她為取暖而不斷劃下火柴，看著她對著火光傻傻發笑，看著她的微笑僵住，看著她一動也不動。945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysWzD0gSH0

他潛步走近，確認她停止呼吸後，俐落地將那小小的遺體放入大布袋裡，匆匆前往諾克斯博士的辦公室。945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18KOfkrLd9
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wh4My1jqR
聽聞合法的屍體供應不能滿足研究需求，不少解剖學家願意花大錢偷偷買下來源不明的屍體。諾克斯博士就是當中尤其闊綽的一個。945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1irVOtMLE2
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKcwJgmHU1
但諾克斯博士見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeGB0dhqTW
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIT2GCHGl8
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm1wY2gd8L
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxi6RLHu8h
諾克斯博士還是認為這貨不值一個好價錢：「如果你真的那麼缺錢，可以帶走她的財物賣掉。」945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC9Ji4nPS9
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeFHpik97K
他沒奈何，但只得接受。945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHIkoc3P8L
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLvUqNtg0K
他小心翼翼地翻動小女孩的遺體。除了因著諾克斯博士的要求（切勿毀壞遺體），亦因著對她的歉意。945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiQn4s4lSw

無人生來就是壞傢伙。若非一貧如洗，他決不幹此缺德非法勾當！945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VS7xzsvSG
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVljQn9zHd
領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvshWmtHh1
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPGvGEx7yW
肅殺街景和溫暖的辦公室形成強烈對比，他一下子接受不來、反應不了，愣在原地倍感悲悽。945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjdWpO1cdH
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsKw82BOoH
城中大鐘不合時宜地響起十二下鐘聲。945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEoApaNBZe
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34YKGmO2Fo
「聖誕快樂！」945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLUhUd2GnO
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc5x3JDC2w
「新年快樂！」945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eWz9PLLPg
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgby0w1AiyU
鄰近富戶不約而同傳出歡呼聲、祝福聲，訴說對未來的憧景與盼望。945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV2hYPIsAQ
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxINAJ3LI9m
未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM4p4hV8yt
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzxEuB8VpO
倏忽飄雪漫天。945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYok9toqlS
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP0QYQZkpZ
寒氣徹骨。945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuBTUTpnUw
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gDFaq9N3f
回家吧。945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA3V9GdMVg
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVws9A6H263
走進貧民窟，拐入曲折的小路，十分鐘後才抵達家門前。945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6UG72FBhF
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCAJnPVXhv
門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGspMYf7jX
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSVouhsIMW
他上前一把擁兒子入懷，多麼希望剛才含笑離世的不是小女孩，而是懷中親兒。
