迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9OZaVDLWl
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ765XmRdZYN
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73Jw0fxNnA
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8adfrGaPd
杜若四肢著地地爬出櫥櫃，然後回過頭托著紫藤的肩膀離開那片狹小的黑暗。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0CHsg6uo1
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn54XVgZJP
兩人並著肩在階梯旁仰起頭喘著氣，久違地照進眼裡的燈光刺眼眩目，但再怎麼說也比不見天日的黑暗要來得令人安心。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYYzQKFNEa
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGJ2lmnJGR
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH24uirK73
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB1ukwHI5k
就連喘息的時間也如同光明般狹窄，兩人不可能在這再休息到早晨來臨。於是，杜若一感覺到力氣開始回流到四肢時，就起身伸出手牽起虛弱的紫藤。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9PeNdD8Tc
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSaEiycVCc
「走吧。我們一起回去。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYoZ2rFK5v
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdqEDmFqv0
這麼說了之後，杜若便鑽進紫藤的脅下，用窄小的肩頭努力撐起紫藤向前。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyehSgRJxxe
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8pOkcyuj9
一路上，兩人就這樣攙扶著彼此，幸運地毫無阻礙便回到了西區。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbw9lpxYtU
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveCNv7O5s4
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDOyJaE0SO
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQR7SDyJCb
「嗚……！」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W4nAhmZLL
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsv20yNt5G
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI98o5q5DFW
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqC4KAJ4Eo
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4peh87T6p
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bk4fpZL4M
回到西區的路上，紫藤甚至虛弱到就連話都沒辦法說了。所以哪怕只是一聲也好，杜若也想要聽見紫藤的聲音。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJSi77TfSZ
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY19i8u625
而痛楚彷彿把紫藤的魂給拉了回來，宛如大夢初醒般地看了杜若和手中的棉花棒後，紫藤才喘著氣、略略地頷首。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmMWfB4ryF
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BkhUrZGCb
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vfncmCKXK
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAXfscxuVx
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHfcD25p4v
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSD76opR0l
如果不是自己想要聽信墨駒，也不會讓墨駒有機可趁了——但現在後悔也沒有用，照顧受傷的紫藤才是眼下應該做的事。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz5PIeHRxO
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKsefR9HiF
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrR62cSyjw
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvZf0oIO2c
「呼、呼……嗚——！」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmIyljS4DJ
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxIFz686dQ
紫藤試著吸氣來緩和疼痛，卻還是沒辦法不吃痛地發出聲音來。清潔並上完藥後，杜若小心地用紗布蓋起那道駭人的傷口並纏上繃帶，原本純白的繃帶立刻就被染成了一片暗紅。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq9WzkdMrp
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch9TjYlZw2
現在只能做這樣的應急處理，等到明天還是得去醫院才行。幸好公用醫療箱裡頭還有這些基本的醫療用品，不然就這樣放著傷口，今晚紫藤恐怕連躺下都會有困難。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPPuw08cPo
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uCZAUa6TY
疼痛過了幾次呼吸才終於緩和下來。杜若拿來水杯靠在紫藤的嘴巴上，讓紫藤小口小口地補充水分。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBfDzvn9ml
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnZ0vUKyIF
滋潤冰涼地滑過喉間，直到此時、紫藤才終於有種放下心來的感覺。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZKALiYIeO
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu080l0wue
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuKCRNNsPr
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVXdi57Uh0
杜若關心的神情就好像是流經喉頭的水那樣沁入了紫藤的胸口。於是紫藤點點頭，再次把嘴湊了過去。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLuG7REdBV
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9i1xbPjMO
等到杯子空了、正想伸手擦乾嘴角時，杜若就先一步用手帕抹上了紫藤的嘴角。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo73iDeIsCB
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqSTQQ5spN
「……謝謝。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTchzeWvtoe
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTZf4OS3Qp
「不會啦，現在也輪到我照顧紫藤了。」杜若收起手帕，露出了彷彿可以烘乾衣服的溫暖笑容。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutDks8FdM1
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ0XyOW5aA
明明、對方不久前才在自己的面前殺了人，但現在看著杜若的側臉，紫藤卻盡只感到安心跟鬆了一口氣的感覺一湧而上。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVeFI8pMGL
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce14i2KnRp
是自己終於開始習慣了嗎？那時，紫藤的手上就已經流滿鮮血，卻只有砸在墨駒臉上時所沾上的溼黏感格外鮮明。就好像在入睡前的一場夢境，令紫藤感到有些恍惚。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKExod2t7k
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uEeDcY8KI
不過，這無疑都是事實。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoHJ2UsE4v
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLhlPIsPpQ
掌心中，那枚墨駒沒能拿回去的、鑲著淡紫色寶石的銀戒就是最好的證據。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJefjMAz70g
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY9qjQMEzs
紫藤壓根也沒想到有能夠尋回這枚戒指的一天。對紫藤來說、只受這點傷就找回了它簡直是太划算了。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo5Yc8PvJA
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOSf2hHFnv
「紫藤、這個戒指到底是……？」杜若好奇地看著手中的戒指，疑惑地歪過頭。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9guMoT69R
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5fbAAJwNn
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD8Mw0pW14
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQMNgW1B2Q
「是我媽媽的遺物。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2ggdEx0RP
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dPqnCQ5uw
戒指的內緣刻著一行寫著母親名字的小字，證明了這就是那枚獨一無二的戒指。雖然紫藤對父親沒有任何印象，但母親卻經常以懷念的面容提起關於父親的事情。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d1HUsPT8o
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlCZwfKJ1R
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCapM1FThH6
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSMZwoGwNs
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQth3ZKooR
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsrwk7ehHN
紫藤從來不曾對同輩的人說過這些事，但現在、紫藤卻覺得讓杜若知道也無妨。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4Y0zsUrdZ
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJby3A5yWK7
「可是媽媽他、就是被沙華會的人給殺死的。」就好像在試圖壓下傷口的灼熱似地，紫藤輕撫著前臂的紗布，緩緩地繼續說道：436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF54Lbvcme
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1WBZFbzde
「小時候，我的媽媽曾經向沙華會借過錢。但最後，媽媽卻因為還不出錢來……而被沙華會給殺了。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgbUVb9zAh
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYDsYSaY4u
媽媽並不是沒辦法還出錢來，只是在最後一刻、錢竟然被劫走了。紫藤怎麼想都覺得奇怪、為什麼就這麼剛好在那種時候？如今，紫藤認為那一切全都是沙華會的伎倆，他們根本沒有想讓母親還清債務的意思，只想在那一年裡壓榨完母親所有的心力、等到沒價值了就宰殺掉而已。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FW7Po5lrx
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA58waZxka
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuujepWBRlx
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40HdpRsiYd
紫藤至今——至死都不會忘記母親在自己的眼前被殺掉的畫面。年幼的自己只能無力地躲在一旁，看著母親殘忍地被一刀刀殘殺至死。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG4pDhFhMl
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHuEOPmtHj
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf9uxt1zEz
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ7asrUuEI
只是，紫藤也從未想過竟然會在途中找到母親生前的遺物，紫藤覺得自己簡直幸運的無以復加。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5kSJV5qVl
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5yKMQfg4D
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKsU2ejQJe
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxnmNjfEnD
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOkuBAo0Mc
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUvEAYJmOj
對紫藤來說，媽媽所留下的東西沒有一個不是珍貴的。無論是這個房間、髮飾、還是這枚戒指，都是媽媽曾經存在過的證明。哪怕再也微不足道，紫藤也想要盡可能地將它們攬在手中。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT1tebEANo
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0UhuyNf1t
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrxx65HVxI
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPZZt8prXD
「紫藤的媽媽是個什麼樣的人、可以跟我說說嗎？」杜若露出了既好奇又害怕冒犯的眼神、試探地探出腦袋。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHKwoJIgut
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19AbCamvQT
紫藤思考地垂下了眼簾幾秒。而再次睜開眼時，紫藤已經將目光放到了不知遙遠的何處。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkyRpPv7fi
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7kxV7pSdy
「媽媽他——」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjQ5rWV8R5
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YGw2r0vFq
以這句話做為開場白後，紫藤便將那些早已被自己翻到泛黃的回憶給拿了出來。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlnm6j3Zn6
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEbnm8SsBL
小時候，紫藤最常從街上的大叔大嬸嘴聽到的一句話就是「跟媽媽很像」。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2UtQlX0r1
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegpcbdxkes
同樣有著一頭的黑色長髮、話也同樣不怎麼多。而唯一不同的，就是媽媽是個非常堅強的女性，總是用那粗糙而修長的手把紫藤給攬在身後。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmowHboxBXX
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhNpkel3sO
而媽媽在南區有間小小的、買賣布料的店面，小時候的紫藤最喜歡的就是跟在媽媽後頭一起做生意。儘管有時候會因為笨手笨腳而挨其他大叔大嬸的罵，但那卻是紫藤最為快樂的一段時光。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTRPQtqqq8
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuMlirqUbw
只是在紫藤逐漸長大後，媽媽卻漸漸不希望紫藤跟著自己，而想要把紫藤託付給學校。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppJe53fp6h
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO619MVh92z
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanpvQduaLU
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOIRL4QJfK
比起那些吵吵鬧鬧又喜歡惡作劇的小孩子，紫藤更喜歡跟在可靠卻寡言的媽媽後頭，幫忙結帳、整理或是裁剪布料。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nTe271ICr
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BTRY0PuMh
對當時的紫藤而言，媽媽這麼做就好像是想要把自己給拋棄一樣。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsesMTnKLLg
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe6oIOzyt0
於是紫藤頭一次跟媽媽吵架了。那是一場紫藤單方面地對著媽媽出氣的架，從頭到尾媽媽都只是靜靜地傾聽著紫藤的任性，偶爾像在思考著什麼地低下頭來。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBjQFwTqve
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYUMXeyRxM
而在那之後，媽媽就再也沒有要紫藤去上學了。只是摸摸紫藤的頭以後，就像以前一樣，讓磕磕絆絆的紫藤跟在自己的後頭做生意。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSqWaAcB2v
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rmn5kdUdw
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CGX0UUCNP
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDb3Rvo3qt
然而這樣的日子持續不久。在一個秋天的傍晚、鉛炭鎮發生了一起極其嚴重的意外。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvxPIkCa71
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRfkpLgw2H
那是一起倒塌事件。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONb053tZd2
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrIjiICrpT
由於鉛炭鎮的樓房蓋的十分緊密，因此只要一棟樓倒塌，便極容易引發連鎖效應。那起倒塌事件就現在的記載，足足有將近二十棟的樓房倒塌、傷亡數更是難以記載。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwN6O7k664
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep8fbkuPfl
雖然沒有受到倒塌事件的直接傷害，但媽媽的店面卻因此全毀，讓兩人頓時失去了幾乎所有的財產。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvFz15fYNf
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKckCSPtDq
那之後就如紫藤所說，媽媽為了生存而選擇向沙華會借貸。在那一年裡，媽媽幾乎從未闔眼休息、只為了賺回損失的財產。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3r7ncz3Is
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW23T47d3sB
那時的媽媽早已面容枯槁。而殘忍地將其心力、金錢、生命盡數奪走的惡意，正是沙華會。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwjl9tLaFi
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6pLA2TKJP
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqdowj9tmZ
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jR2mAfvq1
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9LSlbZ4aV
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kr2j1pno9
「然後，殺了他。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJWFZM8QLK
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV9PI0PS3u
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrtipWRfDz
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNnMBvdBc6
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiZJ8E9aK7
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBiZKvElfW
「可是、我卻下不了手。」紫藤無力地鬆開了手：「不管怎麼樣……我都沒辦法像杜若妳那樣。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KCzZEfkJ2
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWluQyWTgIB
明知道沙華會是惡，紫藤卻無法真的對那群敗類下殺手。也許正是因為那時媽媽遭到殺害的畫面烙印得太過深刻，紫藤才會下意識地抑制著、不讓那副景象再次出現吧。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgClNzp7ZHi
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgU0S5ut0g
而自己的這份軟弱，既沒有人可以幫助紫藤克服，也不會有人能夠理解——除了杜若。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3OxLNYfpJ
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihqopIE62S
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMLnc6Pcbq
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEDOeZxIRt
「……嗯。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmITMIY3KcR
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e1rGm8STF
那時見到的杜若是如此純粹，就好像一把剛從水中淬出的刀刃般，不帶著任何一絲污穢。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiYRpKS3eH
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjZ2SwTie8
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpUgIKxyDj
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsuynux2zZ
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWwcabsMis
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB5wbUhHlD
「……杜若妳呢？」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvNS7uONFg
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDsrXJSPWp
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOlwshVxgE
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjHwWEwUYR
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a44W0Li3w
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GUzmbYqbJ
剛才、杜若確實說過想要請鎮裡最好的醫生，但杜若看起來並不像是患有什麼嚴重疾病或是殘缺的樣子。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRKUUGiU6s
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zkqaSUaJI
聽見紫藤的疑問，杜若就好像是在思考、也像是在害怕似地垂下了眼簾。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwOp6OV0DY
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaHsnmYjAo
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYV64kkvyy
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEcI0OXyKx
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hBME25B9Z
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJcROkswEr
但如果是要請醫生，怎麼樣也不會是做不好的事吧？紫藤這麼想著，舉起沒受傷的手摸了摸杜若的頭頂。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGyBbUccXJ
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3GkAvRb4r
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg1IGa2yfN
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepxhAtolaF
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGicUSiP7Z
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6ohT4hftb
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0wkIHs2mr
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcy1ML7ILF
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcQdtyOEVw
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1QREn6Qpp
之前見到陶壺叔確實是在北大街，但陶壺叔本人看上去並沒有多大的病痛呀？436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYrZ6OroL8
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNdAd50NPP
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71bNbbz6Fr
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXGmTfGdpu
「陶壺叔生的是一種會讓身體漸漸沒辦法動的病。醫生說，雖然現在只有手指，但很快就會變成手、腳、身體……最後是心臟。只要過不了四年，陶壺叔就會被那種病給殺死了。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33tn4i6rnX
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q1fRdl1ww
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r36417Yzp
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeU3wLoJg1
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP1o2zlO8b
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyf2wdvyBX
「我也偷偷問了很多醫生，但他們都說那是一種沒辦法治好的病。明明是這樣，但陶壺叔從來都沒跟我說過、還一直都笑著裝作沒事。直到我不小心聽到其他醫生跟白鵑提到陶壺叔，我才知道陶壺叔一直都瞞著我。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOtolF2tsQ
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdmxVyn0nl
「現在陶壺叔已經沒辦法走很長的路、也不太能拿重的東西了。」杜若的口氣變得哀傷起來，卻也有一份同等重量的不甘心。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaijCgtfZ9
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTVuJ2T0K0
「我明明也想要幫忙陶壺叔的，可是、我卻不知道自己到底該怎麼做才好——因為就連醫生都沒辦法了嘛。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbWJxGfyrK
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ65zfOVop
杜若的笑只看得見無力。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd9DqluZet
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0AhMf51dj
「直到有天，狐狸告訴我說她有辦法，但前提就是要幫忙她去殺掉那些人。所以，狐狸才發給了我這把槍、還有手機。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvpr3UPBS4
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuBHH687Iu
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlnxQLLndk
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD2M6jVO1a
並不是因為仇恨，也不是因為利益，而只是單單地想要為某人而付出。杜若的理由就跟個性一樣是如此單純、甚至令紫藤的胸口刺痛。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7GqGZqe06
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKXAPexLjf
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMb6uXsXHL
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZwuWgX77Q
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiVnFmjcGt
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ylqiyDxKa
如果就連鎮裡最優秀的人都沒辦法了，狐狸又怎麼可能醫好陶壺叔的病？再者，就算殺死的是沙華會的人，讓還只是女孩的杜若去持槍犯險本身就很荒謬。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeYVLRfLPU
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbavrty9lOF
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACtHZJWI4o
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl9PKki3wW
杜若笑了。卻讓人分不清那是真的笑容、還是在故作堅強，讓紫藤的鼻子裡無聲地滑過一陣酸楚。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dh9fw4HuW
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ2IDCsSfz
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7zPQTkIn6
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzW0HTschb
杜若就好像在對自己喊話似地緊緊握起拳頭，但小小的手中、有的卻只有虛無。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs64ZH9ln9
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JcEpyfdz3
也許這麼說太過自以為是，但紫藤從這道笑容裡看到的並不是想要相信、而是不得不相信。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcTUeMC21f
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtXXwIDoI8
只因為狐狸的許諾是杜若的最後一絲曙光。所以杜若除了抓住它以外也別無他法——僅僅就只是如此而已。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUs5uomIwb
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm1TZAeyzu
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLEG1TbnJy
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj9yVQL2hq
紫藤也曾望著母親的背影被偽裝成曙光的惡火給吞噬殆盡。但只因為如此，就可以不負責任地說聲「放棄吧」把一切希望給澆熄嗎？436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKFVDXZHJk
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6pInSh6ZN
這怎麼可能。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKOvKGJODm
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0cwRuWyRZ
沒有人知曉光芒的後頭是陽光亦或是惡火，但倘若停止腳步、也只會在黑暗消逝。無論是誰，追逐光芒都是與生俱來的本能。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHsfxc8XGR
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnsEbpb67F
看著杜若緊握的手，紫藤便不捨地伸出手、略顯生硬地鑽進了那冰涼而纖弱的掌心。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi4xfve1nf
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72JD6OGNfx
也許，杜若一直都是握著這樣飄渺晃蕩的希望走來，但起碼現在、紫藤能夠確實地握住杜若。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXlRrdkXOH
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA6tyH85GH
如果杜若前進的方向是惡火，那紫藤就要在最近的地方拉住杜若。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA0seWplJ7
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9KV5Ch2Ki
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMIGv4pzWY
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVebEJfgJ2v
轉動手腕、解開五指，那份只屬於兩人相握時的溫熱便從掌心蔓延到了指縫436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7vXB7Z75l
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkOWZorV2T
「但就算這樣，我也還是想自己去試試看。」經過短暫的沉澱，杜若再次充滿生氣地抬起頭來。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp484KmeJu5
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCxNbspkB7
「我想只要有夠多的錢的話，也許就可以把大家一起找來、找出能夠馬上醫好陶壺叔的辦法了！」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCyE7rwaNh
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fPc4wcECo
剛才籠罩著的陰鬱被一掃而空，杜若看著紫藤，露出了開朗的笑容。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogKQUc1Yuo
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fcNXSKgzo
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaMDEAw1FR
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mlkzYsgIN
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywIUAi3rRc
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu1qmF9nuy
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqwpblbq8f
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEKigAB6pN
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3LzprBx6a
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipsLKjOfDD
這問題讓紫藤才想起自己從沒有跟杜若——不、甚至是從沒有跟任何人說過這件事。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25fucohKHM
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrozuKWkZ5X
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ5F9aNOKb
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZtc2WBXOz
從腦海深處的角落翻出這片景象。那人在殺害媽媽時，紫藤只有一瞬間記下了那個至今都從未看見第二次的特殊紋身。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XZicUQLwJ
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLbw9l7Bop
「沙華會的紋章幾乎都是鮮紅色的、有白色條紋的紋身……我就只見過那麼一次。但不管我怎麼找、那個人卻就好像消失了一樣，再也沒有出現過。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwkTRoijNV
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDXb1LA5jQ
而唯一有可能知道的墨駒已經被殺了，但紫藤並不感到後悔。比起狡獪的他們，紫藤更寧願靠自己的手去搜索。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszqtm7M1l2
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwcTX48j5H
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLK9AlQrG1
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTdVx5nuoh
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQCPBlPjZX
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROCrtG13Yx
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhesFvismXl
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7k5kSYMsc
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO8hYaUha4
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTEnXRRlcy
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8iHvTAcr4
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb8s2nrf1H
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZafkDuoEk5
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbdxLPLn9p
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBXpijNWai
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcJDwDmkM6
「這本來就是我自己的事。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33zWzjYAW4
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop3CjXO1hO
就算杜若能夠輕鬆地下殺手，但自己的復仇跟杜若是兩回事。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxppFCSXVP
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCWhmfCyVU
紫藤很清楚自己的眼前只有惡火。而單單只是殺手的任務就已經足夠危險，杜若根本沒有必要為此承擔這些危險。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv0oFC31eh
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QdnpF6zFJ
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscbd8ZrD8q
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OwoME5atR
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzEpEhia7q
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu7vkYOHZA
紫藤明白杜若的擔憂。但紫藤正是為了不讓自己在完成復仇前先被吞沒，才用盡了心力去磨練自己。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n5nSji39Q
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrBIapOy18
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsUi2zipBv
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5Sb5dgYyw
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmcIdQcG5w
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf7bZjN4UZ
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEkqK3RL0C
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajwInyz3Fz
看見紫藤一副無所謂的模樣，杜若更是焦急到話都說不清楚了。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFycHmrZyj0
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x5yfrPf0y
紫藤沒能給出杜若期待的回應。卻還是於心不忍地輕握住了杜若的手。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTiSjYWQ0K
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkTwUYRFSP
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkm0GMGdhW
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HJVlFnrCf
「明明、明明紫藤也硬是摻進了我的事情，現在卻又說這種話、這樣真的太不公平了……」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiqI8b7EIA
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicw7DsEuOP
杜若像個鬧彆扭的孩子一樣發起脾氣，但鬧彆扭的人卻總是最認真的。也因此，紫藤才無從反駁。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaOvWDLTXv
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOi4kwP92u
是啊，明明就是自己先不講理地要杜若帶著自己的，這樣又有什麼資格拒絕杜若呢？436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D4KG8qBZk
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUFurPNwgQ
但就算不公平也好，紫藤之所以握著杜若的手，絕非是要杜若陪著自己跳進火海。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe1gJFxyM7
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1RBzIrNNZ
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFjfMNigOr
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlfj9n392C
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMqb18ixbl
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBZWdAqHhW
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfCzt7HD6k
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMjrPTUqGK
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW2Qx4p4J8
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3B3pBQ1VS
在八年前的那個夜晚、紫藤也是那樣地看著母親被一刀刀殘殺致死——明明注視著、卻什麼也做不了的無力是多麼令人痛苦，紫藤比任何人都還要明白。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLlUHheVgP
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGqvRKI5SL
杜若也正是因為這樣的痛苦，才選擇了這條看似荒謬的道路。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8LL5jRJzP
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmShrQCaJaU
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrKxG2Z6oL
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagFhRcnyN0
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFREFSwFHq
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHhe7etVpJ
看見杜若受傷，自己會感到痛苦。而看見自己受傷，杜若會感到痛苦。然而若是因此什麼也不做，又有誰能夠替枉死的母親報仇雪恨？436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzojEJn0Qyl
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QE5bKPO2x
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm5dH8fwI1
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaNmudAVWK
如今，在這條路上有個願意走到身旁攜手並進的人，又為何不欣然接受就好？436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1YnlfWahW
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGXuo6Ol3S
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg1tzVtn9a
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYKMaLKI5K
但、當初不就是因為明白自己沒辦法獨自走完腳下的路，所以才會自顧自地跟在杜若後頭不是嗎？436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VYk19Y1cp
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDUd9Zrd6e
如果說想要把什麼東西給握在手裡、就免不了被刺出鮮血。那麼起碼受傷的方式可以交由彼此來抉擇。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tS3Ok20eS
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AJEbLOuZz
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTd7OH2ZwM
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLm4bu9eY0
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQctRnoejT
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzb0cphS4G
紫藤不帶一絲玩笑地注視著杜若的雙眼，而看見紫藤的神情，杜若才終於破涕為笑。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgUlMA94vY
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmXMdMkMKO
「可是，紫藤會保護我的吧？這樣我的份不就用不到了？」杜若歪著頭反問。然後扣緊了紫藤安放在腿上的手。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiIEC4hnBq
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FFkkXS9EL
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1Q11wxCfu
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRn3rqPVuo
紫藤雖沒有點頭，卻還是回望著對方微微笑，回握住指縫間的柔軟。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXmnYutlbj
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6qOdNx8Ak
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUESSG24BuG
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFxl4IsKSJ
頭一次看見紫藤的笑容，讓杜若欣喜地舉高手，卻不小心拉起了紫藤負傷的前臂而使紫藤臉色一緊。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrd5phabNR
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHOd06JTSp
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz8SeghmjP
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pfyWLypou
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7fq2frhjz
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboK0pRF3sp
「……對了！」這時，杜若突然靈機一動地眼神一亮：「不知道可不可以請狐狸幫紫藤找找看呢？」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YVQDkSKrd
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraYKhONUoK
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bomxLpVxH
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oUrETM6xc
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetprRLWLtz
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrqTXs2HjW
應該說如果那個狐狸不擅長，就不可能精確地知道目標的出沒地點與時間吧。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5SCik6PwU
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmljL4tbq1
紫藤確實沒想到這個方法——不，更應該說是刻意忽略掉了才是。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLcXLCi0fR
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrv3mSt5N4
紫藤還是沒辦法相信一個就連臉都沒見過、還讓杜若做這麼危險的事情的人。把這樣重要的任務託付給對方真的妥當嗎？光是想的就有種不踏實感。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJf2afuYET
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIs5LBhMzz
不過，如果那個狐狸願意幫忙，也許真的會是一大助力。比起自己的脾氣，不是更應該去想要怎樣才能早一步替母親報仇雪恨才對嗎？436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQMAASZ3yY
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4yV6tVql9
自己尋覓這麼多年來都毫無所獲，而現在就有一個或許能夠跨出一大步的機會，又怎麼能夠放棄？436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLD2pp8awu
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByMijw8GuF
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhUq2vvSfq
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1FFLqSRyV
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5Rv0Iv88C
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydRxdPcDUM
就在這時，紫藤注意到了杜若的手肘與膝蓋上也有著斑斑的擦傷。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdXmgwvwzY
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfsWRubBXE
是被墨駒踢倒的時候撞上的吧。雖然不比紫藤嚴重，但印在杜若柔嫩的肌膚上、還是格外叫人心疼。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjSprrOPIQ
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fxWIYDhYz
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEwaKt8bhH
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5BY9QulPc
被紫藤一說，杜若才發覺似地看了看自己的傷，露出一派輕鬆的笑容。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMyuhRIl6U
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotTKUAOn3n
「我這點傷才沒事啦～」說完，杜若從醫療箱裡頭翻出了幾條止血貼布遞給紫藤。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ79i1tLyZd
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfOW8tTuLN
「貼這個應該就可以了。紫藤就幫我一下吧。」說完，杜若也爬到床上坐到了一旁。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIsv2Cu8UI
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1oawMhVp7
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqB3AaDXJX
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtGNikGxl0
「動作不需要太大，沒問題的。」慢慢地撕開膠帶後，紫藤往杜若受傷的手肘上貼去、神情專注。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDweIrNvEVg
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS7970K1BA
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwybN6pMaa8
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSjor0rs3e
輕輕撫平皺起的部分，紫藤這才發現杜若一動也不動地盯著自己。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy6kL8IfSr
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKCtYFNMah
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WlWFg9rZw
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJLzB7HxFp
「唔嗯、沒有呀。」盯得出神的杜若這才回過神來地搖搖頭，靦腆地說道：436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S37IYOnBo
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7tXUNIybZ
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qsbEHVb00
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI8okQN5S4
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aIW9XFg9L
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtYPg5r6FL
在道場偶爾也會有人這麼稱讚紫藤——儘管紫藤從不這麼覺得——但明明是同樣的誇獎，為什麼從杜若的嘴巴裡說出來感覺就是不一樣呢？436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt4sXxlvYc
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHVHxUdrPW
「我、我……」不知道該怎麼回應的紫藤搓著發熱的耳朵，無所適從地左右張望，最後才低下頭、用著連自己都快聽不到的聲音悄聲地說了句：436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB8nsmLlim
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMO5aWOpq1
「謝謝……」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgYTLhy9Ny
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5L6ZbWQHD
「嗯？」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1zBZDlaQ2
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPcbq4ofFX
「沒、沒有……！」紫藤彷彿像要掩飾過去拉高音量，匆忙地接著說道：「比起那些、還有膝蓋的傷……！」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3fBK3Uvso
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHfCm7xVpP
杜若雖然有些不明白，卻也覺得今天表情豐富的紫藤很有趣，就沒有多問、聽話地打直了雙腳。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvpCkC8Bs7
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62ahgIZpGl
杜若的膝蓋上仍沾著一些汙血，那道傷口印在上頭就好像是件純白禮服上的爛泥一樣顯眼——但就算沾上了爛泥，氣質本身也不會輕易改變。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ICE1xTjMF
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IbpYTHbsX
雖然怎樣也稱不上是修長，但杜若的腿卻讓紫藤不禁想到了幼貓那短巧可愛的前腳，讓人忍不住想要伸手捏個一把。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLk6UUZgxD
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8w56ivbAn
不對不對、現在可不是做那種事的時候。不要再想些不正經的事了。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABqMAjAKPl
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjccftxhqr
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3ncvGdXjI
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGumu7zlrv
「這樣？」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQKOXCtCBg
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6q1uDyoWn
為了不讓自己再胡思亂想，紫藤支吾地說。一會才終於定下心來把貼布貼上了膝蓋的傷口。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsITRHAei3
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpOH0BY8to
「……嗯！這樣就可以了吧！」杜若點點頭，滿意地打量著自己手上腳上的貼布。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfdnCv12j8
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72ZQtv0BI9
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsXFoYtkFV
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlKshWWPrI
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX03NEZ6brh
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDFfm2nCpq
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG1G2O1Nfs
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQqPmqowQH
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI17Wy4CiYj
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDUVHNcqbl
「唔、嗯……」杜若好像沒聽清楚似地，只把頭點到了一半，便默默地垂下眼簾。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkiAConhpl
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspIoZVGaiW
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBxtEQxCQN
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbtOjYBmPA
但杜若沒有做出回應，只是像在思考般地沉默了一會後，才撓撓頭髮抬起了頭來。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdVB0HWAWv
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSTjmwZDKi
「沒有……沒事的喔！」杜若再次露出一如往常的笑容：「再不睡覺的話明天又要遲到了！還是趕快把東西放回去，然後好好洗澡睡覺吧！」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm6DGhwVWM
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHWmWYyAcO
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpdQ6Ewypm
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAdsbGlGHF
回來後、在淋浴間前，兩人看著彼此身上的一塊塊包紮，忽然察覺到了什麼而尷尬地笑了。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAnYkEIbkf
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUvW7oRr6F
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgym8aNP7v3
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyJ2o11LX6
「……只能用擦的了吧。」紫藤望向手上一大片的暗紅紗布，洩出了一聲嘆息。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCZRpR2iuS
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnXrb2LCVd
雖然天氣還很炎熱，用擦澡倒也不會著涼，但紫藤現在只有一隻手，想要擦去全身的溼黏感實在是難如登天。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsrKqDL5Ek
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7XCG6arT7
杜若也察覺到紫藤有苦難言的模樣，於是悄悄地湊到了紫藤的一旁。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWcvsTtixg
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S1oY05N6o
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7MjL3wEoO
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OxCVcSoAY
起先紫藤還沒聽懂杜若的意思，但看著杜若站到了自己和淋浴間之間，紫藤才瞬間紅了臉頰。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKVhQwipCG
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi8VSselyh
「我、我自己來就可以了……」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse3rWRjpsa
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRn15s7OQQ
在外頭、紫藤光是露出手臂以外的皮膚都會感到有些憋扭了，更何況是和人坦誠相待，即使是杜若——不、正因為是杜若，紫藤才更在意這點。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xMkaW5UiN
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwo2LMIgci
終於，在簡單擦去一身的灰塵與汗濕後，兩人才可以好好地關上燈休息。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHELij15zd0
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoQyZbYoN2
房間沉入一片黑暗。而在這片熟悉的黑暗當中，卻多了道不同的吐息。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUMRn7LO9x
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DhBo4XWWZ
明明昨天還沒有這麼明顯地感覺到杜若的存在，現在紫藤卻能夠清楚地感覺到對方的呼吸拂過臉頰。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfV2jwTLxk
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2ZPAExYEm
因為說好了，所以剛才也讓杜若用了跟自己一樣的沐浴乳。和草草擦乾污痕的紫藤不同，剛沖過澡的杜若身上香得不可思議。那宛如水果混合了奶油的甜香挾帶著專屬於杜若的微暖體溫，光聞著就令紫藤的胸口發癢。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmVRIYbCAv
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVOt628Gkl
明明是一樣的東西，為什麼用在杜若的身上味道就是完全不同呢？436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tQOt8yv7D
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0SweXnZ5m
「……紫藤。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7svJLoB3H
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk6zD5bqjn
「怎麼了？」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoga8jpiUYz
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a0zaZAiSf
就在紫藤兀自思考時，杜若用著像是隨時會消失在黑暗中的細小聲音、輕聲地喚了紫藤。而在紫藤回問後，杜若沒有馬上回答，只是輕揪住紫藤的衣領，向前挪動身子。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEG5ozQVRa
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19LfSHNwr3
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjJ8Q1QHmX
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdHZzQTrCh
那是躲在櫃子裡頭時紫藤為了安撫恐慌的杜若，而下意識脫口而出的承諾。也許是四周的黑暗、讓杜若又想起了那時的感覺吧。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtL4H5KfeS
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFdXQ8M5LW
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2VGklRnQk
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnMhDE8i51
就連明天，紫藤都不知道自己是不是還能夠像現在躺在這張床上了。那又何況是更遙遠的以後呢？436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUEVuUBUOQ
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZymmhqEs3k
這世上難以實現的事情多如繁星，即使是伸手能夠觸及的光芒，也不乏混濁的惡火，而自己選擇的前路更是如此。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIPUGkIlY2
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCClwODObH
既然難以實現，那就不該給予承諾。面對再也單純不過的杜若，這樣的輕浮是種殘酷。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYBiY71Tu4
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQUanIEpSN
可是要是因此就什麼也不能夠承諾、什麼也不能夠相信，不也是另一種殘酷嗎？436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM50u7BZVi4
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiodtIFsW5H
確實，紫藤不能夠保證前路的光明不是槍口的閃焰，也不能夠成為驅趕黑暗的陽光。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoqHLfVB0P
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGscD13S9KT
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53wYUdDkcJ
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDhqeFDLPd
無論腳下的是光明還是黑暗，只要紫藤還能夠伸出手，就不會讓杜若握起的手中僅有一撮虛幻。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MA6QhqIjo
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVW1hHlr4b
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ej7XiOmlI
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsWqEwdRHz
「……我會試著做到的。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWEpDDUntl
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegyQbxHcJb
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuAdtjfyAQ
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgv6Qd09V8
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qMq5Zxx2K
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR5q700br7
不給紫藤辯解的餘地。說完，杜若就這麼微笑著闔上眼，沉沉地往夢鄉走去。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ70IzDjLzT
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgowps8wTs6
窗外打進的微光逐漸照亮紫藤的視野，杜若雪白的髮絲在輪廓的邊緣透著薄光，就宛如隨風飄逸的紗絹一樣。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIU915klcn
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm7y7imeyR
從呼吸聲聽來，杜若大概是在睡著時就會蜷起身子的類型——就連這點也跟貓很像啊，紫藤不禁調侃地想。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UYkC1raQp
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdefkFb8n7N
疼痛令紫藤沒辦法把杜若給攬進懷中，但紫藤卻仍湊近了身子，把那道溫熱的呼吸給小心地挨近胸口。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn7Qnn7CnJ
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh2HzdrdF0
而杜若只是既像在回應、又像在撒嬌般地發出一聲夢囈，把身子更加地縮了進去。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c9oxXnmU8
