空氣乾冷，每次呼吸都會令肺部生起輕微灼痛之感。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqQzUy4sbT
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuLmH8E71N
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn40CRSf0G
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJZbYZs1Q7
「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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9rPyoQ5dB
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2aoNESl9y
「小姐。」忽爾有道男聲叫住帶娣：「有興趣占卦嗎？」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsC7exnOM2
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyipiQgwfAL
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。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg1AJ4ceA5
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXhQw3MaYF
「免費的。」老者沒有絲毫不悅，掏扇撥涼。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOgJ9JUJJq
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplbvLbrNEr
「那麼好？」帶娣生起戒心——世上哪可能有這麼便宜的事情？460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8ulCXgDBY
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInY7Z3Iqp3
「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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwYtQ2DRnF
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHZVgwiRtQ
「我沒需要找答案。」帶娣斷言拒絕，再次開步。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4w85NXGH7
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrTAFJkOhd
「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。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQlrE1qobz
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h68HkYvf6
這話正中帶娣下懷——終身大事！460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotIR8hPJxV
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2CBfgHx8I
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcht3QtxVZ4
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21h8tui8Gv
但單身的帶娣下個月將要踏入十九歲！460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuURGMqPv4c
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNWeTsLGN6
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……460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73ZoF6mRk2
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztjkLiMEW9
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。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5iI8NK0uk
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8eA1Z3HVD
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXQ7E3U9rW
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRsDlkXYNd
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9TW7YGTx3
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9LZ6mfCCF
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2lFwU8tHc
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAn8L7isSX
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmBJbgpQta
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。」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ePPLPgfIe
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGBjcFlyI3
「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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyRQ5ISGnG
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMinWt07Vw
「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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPq4dWfnt9
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpzLWeXtJi
占卦老者不就是站於梅花樹下麼？難道是那棵樹？一定是！460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0yVMyL1Cv
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PtCYaa4YX
帶娣大喜，連聲謝過讀書人。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoePCKf0NIt
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！」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGdnQkfXGf
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2SGoLkWz7
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wzqQ68WAq
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDS03SwvQW
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCvJNI4zc9
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKeYreFyyD
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKaYAcnxOY
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvWFCSjPjc
寒。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHobOgUk63B
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54EAn5o4M2
「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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirB03sg2w7
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkKkzAGEaR
對方會出現嗎？460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw7ZdJ48NQ
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fmWQnXfni
「會。」她再三告訴自己，強要自己堅持下去。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCDrdT475L
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJVsOJVSr1
對方會嫌棄她是窮困潦倒的大齡農家女嗎？460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAVyFbv5xr
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCT5S4bTZr
「不會。」她不停催眠自己，未來夫君定會待她如珠如寶。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrkfVhZEo7
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSblXAGYfa
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcpWNPf9B6
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OxgWXDpiN
痛。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0EsKTb4hX
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMVglBDeBt
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaKtfCjN6A
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg85v6f1j9E
這棵樹？那棵樹？哪棵才是籤文所講的梅花樹？460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD2UL4YaUN
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7cQlcIyjA
有可能趕在子時（一天中第一個時辰）前去到嗎？460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfFQs8W4vp
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u20uDN32g
若果遲到，對方會否離開，不再出現？460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f26ANByBL
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKGSJwTm8v
絕望。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMEObiDq9I
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf3YTrPL9e
帶娣意識到自己沒可能在一片樹林中找到那棵樹。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgeRJoW6u3
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTlqJ9rCxC
跌坐地上，哭。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkOjBQ7HRA
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurHWRgp520
撕心裂肺。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXX09ly52C
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM6Jsj8Xml
颯颯風中，倏忽聽見杳杳嗓音：「你在找我嗎？」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08A4LIDdxj
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P3vebzukT
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。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbknVzj9Bei
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVYYLPku8p
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！」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOqcTjhiFs
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsldEPmpuge
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……460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaQLmmiYDm
日。眾人在樹林中找到她的遺體。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlaP0Of5r5
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjWi7xQfhc
老爹呼天搶地，自責對帶娣動粗。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwN2HFb9wD
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NbBlBrC4a
村民口頭上紛表惋措，說帶娣其實是個很不錯的女生。460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzu0o9VCCC
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1OCBk9ZCp
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！」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEC0G0vLWo
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0eCZI7KI4
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？」460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xTqRxGUVj
