他在梳化上猛然醒來。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNXzfmQDhH
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHSi5RZvG5
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBnfRsDB0E
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWblPIkwoEX
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSfhMSUmcr
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou2ndhLoyi
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5rvvlTCcS
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kwfLI3Hy9
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKO6FTOCPw
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2SrVZmPkz
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwxdOp9JJs
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPfxg7tTJh
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3COS0jhGH
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJC1kBZ9AP
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgauzuoP4oR
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiTMDymN8N
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW15yKBISy
抵不住。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV7Klx6bjH
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z6qo1ThPk
他決定到公園散步。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaASJj2v4uf
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz28Vi4Nlu
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObUpwDhh8p
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUTnKR6HMo
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObESdUyGid
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u3B33Ia3X
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwn3golz1Z
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxdEk4vmzF
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLrO0OivgK
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohg885l8j0
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9YT5uKeYA
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXURRbUQP4
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0DSFgDTh0
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpct10boELm
他不自已憶起亡妻……255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsbDVM1wyA
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0Po2uG4K0
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLgr0MGnlB
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9jhmEHWbM
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTi6Bskzn8
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIwCqc2xBn
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuABbV8tQW
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmUTgvt5QS
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdUD7Xd64t
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRXxrTzMDV
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9Oya6sETO
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdKFGXGq1U
「快了、快了。不用著急！」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ef9YDHOlW
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdhS2a6Yr1
「即是何時？」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCDUaVITA7
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCpWkwglVw
「下一個夏天。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhyEUxmhzC
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo01yaL8VS
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V8OJWl7Tt
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICzg4H3qlk
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofCvOToTSq
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlw4wqgD9L
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2cehNlHtq
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS74kPmcqH
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVowaUD8sU
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBT8ZGKlMC
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeuEbF8FkC
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcsCHecLzh
內心終於安定下來。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM7L3AQMgK
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B6xcnkTRO
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』！」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99JOxTsEZu
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwGLECiyva
「但你的血糖……」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM64PM1BC7Y
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG1fyGDrxq
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTE5QNkFE7
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69HH9AWUhz
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5or8z24aa
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lVF5XWDnr
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19irYnXvjU
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmqDel9pho
兒子送她一根拐杖。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRgF2DAzVR
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX7ezFUVLO
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dUJ7blBks
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwKGmCndEV
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbR2ddADOE
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7w470B8AR
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』！」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExRYVyjmsA
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu6WoypGdc
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZcECxpzF1
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC6TrulEDg
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ReDxZKEOZ
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2vMeYGtak
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fp6eqgWG1
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3kLhgxIZX
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjl0L3lRK9
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u7KsbwPkP
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBiSvsw0tA
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgvbEDo2dC
於願足矣。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiyi7rG1fc
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFZ7bF1elg
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLI9siaOHv
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c2xv2Y2nZ
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5NOr9Klyh
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn6qi1HBSi
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7ZtJ7v2kO
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z0E1QipCr
總得走下去，不是嗎？255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhV5G5vOJV
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqTaMrCmq1
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHJdLWjt83
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUVxps4rdH
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKxqI7311C
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAU49osqcd
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4BqagYCz6
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVl41fOXFP
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIDMSq5Soa
