空氣乾冷，每次呼吸都會令肺部生起輕微灼痛之感。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ0G5oTM3q

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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4eWLzKmJh

「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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidjwCfOdeO
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCSYC3Jz5D
「小姐。」忽爾有道男聲叫住帶娣：「有興趣占卦嗎？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eYqlU2DjM
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv8nCfDBbe
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。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHNylzabT8
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJujJtUMCTk
「免費的。」老者沒有絲毫不悅，掏扇撥涼。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbw3fTYn08
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69MIecv3Hl
「那麼好？」帶娣生起戒心——世上哪可能有這麼便宜的事情？249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRtineGUsC
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSbSqrzIS0
「占卦師乃天界人間之橋樑，工作不外乎『為凡人找答案』和『為天界傳遞訊息』。」光頭紅頰白長鬚的老者笑意盈盈，遠看活像寺廟神像。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1clVUJxp4z
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehzC7RNffR
「我沒需要找答案。」帶娣斷言拒絕，再次開步。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWmSTQFWBx
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI8uifMQAv
「但天界託我傳訊息給你。」老者不急不躁，語速不徐不疾：「關於你的終身大事。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutIjrNJkxz
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfrSHzXZC0
這話正中帶娣下懷——終身大事！249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96dq3ZOHF2
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtynLgzy92
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhfgDaMuJ0
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NVjZ5LSW1
但單身的帶娣下個月將要踏入十九歲！249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCTqZ1ftcm
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGyRDW2qYU
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不祥人，有意無意疏遠她、孤立她……249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAjwRaHF49
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhw4YP3UCz
帶娣神色緊張，急步走向老者，恭敬奉上三條大蘿蔔：「請你為我占卦吧。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHGk5lZmYi
往大城路上，帶娣不斷思索手中籤文之意。老者不予解釋，只給她一張籤文，奈何她目不識丁，村內又無人識字，那可怎麼辦？苦惱之際，她驀地發覺自己已到達目的地——大城市集。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9PEqOYkHh
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol2lg39gRO
她千里迢迢到大城來就是為了賣出大蘿蔔。老爹種蘿蔔很有一手，尺寸大、水份足、味清甜，每年都能賣得好價錢，賺來的錢足夠買下過冬糧食和一條肥豬肉。她努力叫賣。蘿蔔的好有目共睹，可惜今年經濟不景氣，人人都想年末多留一分錢在口袋，不停雞蛋裡挑骨頭，務求低價買蘿蔔。帶娣見怪不怪，沒有退讓，確保了收入，卻增加了賣蘿蔔所需時間。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlbPLd0TTA
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NgfDAGjsa
蘿蔔賣清光時，天色已黑，大多店鋪已打烊。帶娣苦苦掙扎於該否連夜冒險趕路回家，翌日再來大城買東西，抑或花點小錢到客棧投宿，翌日買糧食後踏上歸途……忽爾靈機一觸，決定到寺廟借宿。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquKuukkG1t
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbZxR8CDdq
天氣極寒，寺廟擠滿前來借宿的無家可歸者。寺廟住持命人為大家生火取暖，還提供一頓免費齋菜給大家充飢。帶娣留意到角落有一位看似讀書人的小伙子，連忙厚著臉皮上前請他解籤。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XduJvqWkM
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRduvNkNbNB
讀書人聽原委、接籤文，先是一呆，繼而一笑：「籤文說，小寒當日，你的真命天子會出現在梅花樹下。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HLYpS7Qv3
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhv5wsPiDe
「哪棵梅花樹？甚麼時辰？他是誰？甚麼樣子？我們是否會馬上成婚？」帶娣求嫁之心洋溢於表，忘形緊扯著讀書人衣袖不放手。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ech8Hfn29
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS2tz01ef4
「籤文沒有提及。不然你試想想有沒有哪棵梅花樹於你有特別意義。」讀書人眉頭輕皺，擔心帶娣會扯破他的衣服。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoxGyRnnNt
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZL9TCTssa
占卦老者不就是站於梅花樹下麼？難道是那棵樹？一定是！249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwT7Sc4TgN
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKlXlMVxOL
帶娣大喜，連聲謝過讀書人。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y0pOGdp2N
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！」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluwRvQRJRr
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8ZVW5xKlO
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uD7Uw51Nr
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYn3PeHVka
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN56SUM9UfI
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0lQoOt2n7
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvElQV1EXQ

寒。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkoUP7iCpT
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl26tli4gXA
「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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LVTg69os2
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf1oVSbB6N
對方會出現嗎？249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrMpvLNgJu
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdVrBRSS56
「會。」她再三告訴自己，強要自己堅持下去。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQOUHOI0fn
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmphASrAFsX
對方會嫌棄她是窮困潦倒的大齡農家女嗎？249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnE2PUCP0y
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWBTPb6Mdg
「不會。」她不停催眠自己，未來夫君定會待她如珠如寶。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5XK9SEUyn
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE6nM7cIbD
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1NcVm4Gli
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0QE26szDC
痛。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIylpEIwneo
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFLiYHBtEP
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BohrnTTIl
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NhP3p2gu2
這棵樹？那棵樹？哪棵才是籤文所講的梅花樹？249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdrDDeFtWz
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXo5bLPzKY
有可能趕在子時（一天中第一個時辰）前去到嗎？249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TNp9MuDHp
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBanCgGa1K
若果遲到，對方會否離開，不再出現？249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJA2TODaXo
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDRxkt7udY
絕望。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxDxQ3YqSF
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzrvuARM7Q
帶娣意識到自己沒可能在一片樹林中找到那棵樹。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pwy0JCVZR
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzwHgNF5bx
跌坐地上，哭。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBmWmqm9AS

撕心裂肺。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIfk26DDw6

颯颯風中，倏忽聽見杳杳嗓音：「你在找我嗎？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpAoeVEvMh
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW1VqvC1Q0
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CWQv9zFYj
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEiirZxbAH
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！」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DU1QvyMNn
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTXLkoctOh
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……249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdijcoZgAR
日。眾人在樹林中找到她的遺體。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI7wNdwlZa
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ir806zYzP
老爹呼天搶地，自責對帶娣動粗。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrxRvDNW0q
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4oJBhjZDU
村民口頭上紛表惋措，說帶娣其實是個很不錯的女生。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg7nmH0VJ8
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU15FnUBsY
讀書人從寺廟住持口中聽見帶娣死訊，暗忖：「那農婦真笨，竟會相信鬼神之說！」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5TnZjkilo
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpPfdZ7ltw
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寫一通，怎麼她會相信？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBigkggZVNc
