他在梳化上猛然醒來。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBcszt2nge

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。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s5AT2LXau
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4xL24Wudm
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。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT1pfcOQpe
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKJGuBXLlA
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。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWphmN2tsjf

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。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmfSNPHEc4
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdNAyY9gK8
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fiRiZj7jM
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vrwSgw44l
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmZXTEwTyQ
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxARKfw66XS
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkLFqO9Gy8
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRvOnqdHx6
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHmdKF3BZf
抵不住。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mzHIiLziZ
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCdWup5ZSP
他決定到公園散步。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFG5o7VPy8
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ufr2Qh7IR
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XKHkw2XAg
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpAgWSmx4D
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。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSfmr5q6a4
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNZGEohqKR
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。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWrCJ3ELmS
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufYgW4Gsxz
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4LiT4OeTi
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazXHB66UM0
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6GSDYENl4
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUQN3z8lge
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡganHRqvWD6
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphz7tfkVcC
他不自已憶起亡妻……194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oBMyp5XNa
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vagcX1fgy
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。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VaNjPAmjU
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbefCRYNU3
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRG3JXkFE8
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPBDQ5GyIH
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhR1SEkdfH
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWKJCkEdw0
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVOX5Fc8rA
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYYgzyFEH2
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94FON3CM99
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTgW7pL6NO
「快了、快了。不用著急！」194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHHJBHjMWp
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWmFjTVqQ8
「即是何時？」194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW93ffqCUB
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hTSq4bKs4
「下一個夏天。」194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLipmHhNRcm
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBR7xFAhtn
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。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnwD3bDVTg
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcomZZwPXp
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjXt3u4ZyH
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0inZ96lDl
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wYddwEI2x
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdM5vUx3Bd
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZd9S4EuYd
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgz6I9vWoq
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。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvuw67aLai
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptQMNuG8Oh
內心終於安定下來。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR1U6BOqi3
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcIdQAkpBz
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』！」194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJKobHi8nT
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsQyC3NRFe
「但你的血糖……」194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7lZIxjxal
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3djjcmhmN
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4tbJHScFA
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8GBlG7BcA
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCGE7up5nu
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4berpJnDk
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。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl26xXdqUn
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeJGYkzWUj
兒子送她一根拐杖。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSdSPSw0RH
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyivYy5xRgT
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。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqAGUCxIpw
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr05of6oiW
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。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAo36b1hcJ
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1mDTrh8uk
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』！」194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WNLgq0EWr
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKu1FI9olh
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。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRv0U3lWg3
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpxHOUJYIl
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。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkoQzyhD2b
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8nyi5bP35
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。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJu1kJMGkt
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjS8NOSgiU
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUC5wc5Dwy
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fG4SNonZo
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。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XPWm3rXUi
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ834ep1gF4d
於願足矣。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1Okb4za0E
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ69vcFEJrw
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLnQYk7Ony
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MLydYpcgB
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2Ik4k43sl
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZt0pB9fZG
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jzAIRkI9L
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV0JlN8HKg
總得走下去，不是嗎？194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDT0jbWy0q
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSItyUPb6RM
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqI3T0b0U0
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Kd5cYd7t3
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJY06UTRUC
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6v9Wwoh1E
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe5OhKcZqP
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQFGM9MG0M
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqcJ9WxKiW
