年至遲暮，殘菊萎靡，秋深氣涼，夜霜襲人，郊外楊林樹影深淺交錯，寒月臨窗而叩卻不得入。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYPKa16SpR

　　破屋內一室晦暗冷清，四壁結起露水，無几無床，牆邊擱酒罈數只、包袱一袋、劍一柄，雨玄玖仰臥蓆榻上，身覆舊裘衣，面色臘黃，雙頰凹陷，吐息如絲，他口裡乾渴，呻吟著翻過身，緩慢伸手搆到蓆邊酒罈，皺眉將身子稍稍撐起，傾斜酒罈就口而飲，僅是起身飲水就已用盡力氣，他躺回蓆上，望屋牆上裂隙蜿蜒成爬藤。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vETYqz9R2
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcRMXFkp6x
　　雨玄玖已病了許久，初時只是顏面泛黃，人易倦怠，在路上給大夫瞧見，拉住他直言這面色不好，怕是患上肝病，硬是將他拖進鋪子診脈抓藥，沒收他銀錢，只要他按囑咐煎藥喝，藥喝完再來看診。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP92UC1ReUA
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJTyWwNIZW
　　他勉強收下那帖藥離開後卻從未喝過，也未再去找那大夫，照樣成日飲酒求醉，無心醫病，以致身子愈加乏力，上腹疼痛，連步行進村一趟都吃力；再者食慾全無，吃了總噁心想吐，便一日日孱弱消瘦下去；最終腹中劇痛令他再無力氣起身，只能臥在這破屋蓆榻上，雨來時置空酒罈在屋外接水，飲露維生。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWWfRYgV3r

　　現今他已是秋末梢上殘葉，在蕭瑟風中懸著一口氣罷了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eH2rKZX3u

　　雖病痛難捱，可他並不憐惜這副軀體，身體髮膚受之父母，他卻只願將其歸於后土，而生養恩情，是無可還報。如此一想，他活於世上實是虧欠他人忒多，無論對他視如己出的養父母、和善相待的豁之兄、委以春心的胭胭，甚至是那想給他醫病的大夫，皆是無以償還。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSgaeRCLCd

　　他一介天地遺塵哪承得住那些深情重意，千萬雨澤填入破甕，終是白白淌流出去。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHlBcPyMog

　　雨玄玖想再望一望月色，勉力起身推開窗，當他倒回蓆榻上，已是就連一根指頭也動不了，金風挾冷冽霜氣入室，他生病後便畏寒，縮在裘衣下瑟瑟發抖起來，清月照進屋，他看不清窗外朦朧影子是什麼，漂漂搖搖，宛若水中浮萍隨波瀾聚散。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zTF0jmSFy

　　身上痛楚緩了些，雨玄玖閉眼睡去，當晚夜雨霏霏，打落窗外楊樹梢上枯葉，他也嚥下最後一口氣，淒然離世。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrk2jEYo29
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4Xb7sTlfV
　　他以為死亡即為盡頭，終能一卻今世淒苦，怎知回過神來，從牆角見著自己枯槁身軀撒手躺在草蓆上，騰起手掌來看，窗前月光穿透掌心淫浸地面，他纔察覺自己成了鬼魂，依舊困在這滾滾塵世中。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKl8M6oxHW

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP45fPFiA2
　　一只酒罈將雨玄玖魂魄困住不得離去，只能眼望一旁沒了氣息的身軀變得僵硬，又日漸發臭腐朽，可他並不惋惜或懼怕，悔恨是蠹孤寂為蟻，早已將他的心蝕得千瘡百孔。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6pNmNGgXk
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPQL1Mi8lN
　　朽葉凋盡後，紛紛白雪飛天，又消融於暖陽，來年春濃，白楊林中花草爭妍，一鶴髮老者路經此處，欲暫落腳於破屋，纔發現雨玄玖屍首及魂魄。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiVtTPKZWQ
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajBlwz3nMZ
　　那老者自稱瀟雲道人，替他在屋前楊樹下入土埋葬，立一無名墓石，見他因留有塵念而困於人世，又助他化出肉軀以附魂魄，便不用依附於酒罈，再傳授他修行之道，以免積憾恨以致入魔，那新得的軀體與他生前樣貌無異，惟身後多籠上一抹濃墨煙霧。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SKG8rew2x

　　「娃兒，你生前因酗酒病亡，從此不能再醉，飲酒如飲茶，非但不醉，還更心澈靈明；又因悖約未能彌補，將有一酒盞隨你身，無論去何處，凡有人在墓石前給你祭酒，你必有應而來。你既不能脫離人世而去，這些就是你要擔的天道責罰。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmOSi6r2qy

　　瀟雲道人授道予雨玄玖時如此說道，句句語重心長，他聽得不甚明白，卻仍是低聲應了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WXQ2wYilZ

　　得以自由來去，雨玄玖頭一件想做的便是一瞥應是還待在故鄉的豁之兄，他趁夜以魂魄入豁之兄夢中，悄然偷窺數回，終於見到豁之兄在夢中也睡了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0Wn00Pe3m
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1jruxjHBm
　　那夢景是午陽正煦，斜落書房窗櫺，浮漾案前，豁之兄手裡持筆趴在案上午寐，雨玄玖悄步靠近，見他眉目安詳，煥發顏色更勝當年分別時。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLaSqbMs1i
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsYJbVRPgF
　　雨玄玖在案旁向豁之兄屈膝長跪，沉聲開口，「豁之兄，玄玖當年悖約未歸，未能在父親病榻前伺候，誠心愧痛，無顏相見⋯⋯」他思及父親逝世前對他牽掛，眼裡淚水未落，已藏不住哽咽，「玄玖今已離世，輕然無憂，莫哀莫悼，惟豁之兄若願相見⋯⋯祭酒一盞，玄玖必定履約而來，絕不食言——」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g5mlWJGKr
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcEPmw4FWZ
　　語畢雨玄玖眼光已然矇矓，案上明光蕩漾，他正要伏身頓首，瞥見豁之兄身影忽動，似是轉醒，便倉促起身隱入後頭薄霧，離開夢境。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AEI89DQgB

​　　爾後他露宿於白楊林中，蟲鳥為伴，清淨修行，惟是仍免不了酒癮，夜裡飲一壺，果真神智醒澈更勝浴於山澗冽泉，總一夜無眠，坐聞林中露水點滴到天明。8964 copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu5OmizB5y 維尼
