他在梳化上猛然醒來。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI8Fm8zeKu
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh8yZiugzi
電視仍然亮著，新聞報導員正在講述關於疫情的新聞和消息。內容千篇一律，悶人又煩人。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYAnCSH4cr
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTJTEgHAmj
他打個呵欠，伸個懶腰。雙掌使勁按壓梳化，借力撐起整個人，避免膝頭過份受力。許是在凹陷的梳化坐得太長時間，大腿和臀部均感到少許麻痺。不至於會跌倒的程度，但他下意識地一邊倚扶著傢具，一邊拖著腳步走向浴室。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVwdfo7x5U
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfQyJxfIe6
人老了，身體差了，動作遲緩了，連小便如此簡單和基本的本能也變得困難。甭提總是瞄不準便器，尿液還要是逐滴逐滴慢慢滴出來，彷彿要滴乾他的尊嚴。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eAovQUJz9
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh2Sm8ImOG
怎麼辦？可以怎麼辦？吹口哨吧。口吹曲子，耳邊響起熟悉的歌聲，心裡默唸自勵自欺的歌詞。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFnva563Rq
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwR64oFMf3
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIbIelndTg
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgdEoxSESG
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3CG21q2WT
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe2IxtPL0c
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vhVq57qQw
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacQpFvd5Oh
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssTEbKac9I
抵不住。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQUdop61fQ
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkirERM1grz
他決定到公園散步。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjZayrgC3N
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYbhTHRSOU
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38IEPUwYRO
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kdcTfA5L4
好福氣的，或是三五成群談天說地，或是在家傭的攙扶下散步。福薄的，或是推著購物車奔波買餸，或是顫巍巍地被送上療養院的巴士。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXV7GZTipB
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj2AqZYa5j
自己有福氣嗎？托賴。能走能動能講能吃，與兒孫同住。雖偶有口角，卻也沒有特別煩心事。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcj8bqIJto
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDX1ttc2Bm
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOe2fBa31J
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgsMnALMxG
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp05LPY8Rok
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQUNd8NADw
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZqs4puq1Q
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk2NnzracB
他不自已憶起亡妻……214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6e2dJ2CJo
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvLNNpbLyq
三年前的夏天，她在家跌倒，傷及腿部筋骨，自此總是步履不穩，走路時偶爾會突然腳軟跌倒。兒子勸她多休息，不要外出。她明白兒子苦心，奈何整天悶在家中令她心情抑鬱，精神越益差勁。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj39a9Zkfn
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoUCY9gFIT
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtpdZROH7Y
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlfZxfxQKZ
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIC7yqSvQV
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab3Q1pVXD1
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47VXo4h4vL
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmQJpoXZoj
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoUk5Twzjg
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9xWdZYfGv
「快了、快了。不用著急！」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl4rvot0qz
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoKz9digcH
「即是何時？」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEFOmmVJSE
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O8o3esJkY
「下一個夏天。」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUl0pLoCXS
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu966WUdI5
她幽幽回望，驚訝丈夫斬釘截鐵交出一個確實答案——醫生也不敢斷言她會否康復。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWePylKTwM
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O4llJiAWM
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPkIr1IGja
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71ztdtEaC8
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP030r11WsB
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8frxghzc5Z
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCy78cYrej
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGiSrePEmq
奇蹟？希望？不。僅是信念，難以言喻的，難以理解的。他不是神、不是醫生、不是專業人士。他僅是一個脾氣古怪的躁狂糟老頭。但她就是相信他。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dLEiONDlG
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZkxtEePgw
內心終於安定下來。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHJ5DB2RUL
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y0T2Iym5x
她沒再糾結於健康問題，開始向丈夫講述她的未來夏日大計：「探望朋友前，我要先辦一件十分要緊的事——吃『菠蘿油』！」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ979ld2OZgX
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYN586cDcC
「但你的血糖……」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIam63OEhpY
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKCB8U1Jto
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TnxUIQW3J
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sB0m7RQ2c
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfYfG6WMKo
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKCgI71gZ1
下一個夏天到來。她的腿傷還是沒能康復，走路時拐得更嚴重。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGteGXtQxA
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFrpZTGDxn
兒子送她一根拐杖。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQjYCDGap5
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyKB68Qx6i
當晚，她躲在浴室裡啜泣。他沒有上前安慰，因為所有安慰說話都沒能扭轉衰老之勢，倒不如讓她盡情宣洩情緒。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIxHdqKiHL
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMkBLAdZMd
她不知道，整個晚上，丈夫徹夜無眠，眼睜睜望著天花，細聽她的哭聲，細想她的未來。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwYtZe21cN
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIURu8cR5A
天亮，兒子和媳婦準時離家上班去。他送孫兒到學校後，馬上回家慫恿妻子一起外出逛街。「夏天嘛！當然要吃『菠蘿油』！」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC9NLzlDAL
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXH9ZglFJc
妻子笑了，連忙穿上最漂亮的衣褲鞋襪，戴上最喜歡的髮夾，塗上最鮮色的紅唇膏。她沒有使用兒子送她的拐杖，因為丈夫就是世上最好的拐杖——依著他、靠著他，她安然走到今時今日的七十高齡。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCzs27e4lh
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8vrI4fv6P
鐵路車站裡，人流如鯽，彷彿有股無形的強力水流在背後催促著。他懶理，繼續保持慢調，只知自己不僅是自己。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ00CDlslqv
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNUQHOdQkQ
終於來到馳名的冰廳，二人各點一客「菠蘿油」。不好吃，亦不是回憶中的味道。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRlEfj2oL9
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xsfKAVFQ2
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF5OukaSD8
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoezyB62F3E
夫婦相視而笑。笑甚麼，不知道，大概是完成了十分重要的事情吧。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d1JsSu2SS
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei5tmVAB5f
於願足矣。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47aebqZYKP
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLtWtd9WKR
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYaaToBTWf
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaosT1xk3sT
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM78Z6xbR4
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9bb7AfWyY
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKzTI7EfYB
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70goT4IEZO
總得走下去，不是嗎？214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr7a8d84Qg
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94ezSTSU4v
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIDjRpxtN5
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lk1w6XYRQ
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBITLm9zxL
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCSjcTWIqG
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AC5121aov
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuE3ZjlbJT
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DM7t1hJ7t
