他在梳化上猛然醒來。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAOEYsqAO0

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。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNU5iX4yl7
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbTtDcf9rQ
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。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqK1k3owA1
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSqcivcAjo
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。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QjEnfzMWA
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57uJd10y3W
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。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeclav1Gt9
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMGb7Fe3no
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN2TgGqqkx
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrARQqpvqhN
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOM93Jxb6m
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj8PC5HO1e
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOyJ9dy1K1
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p1Smo0FJe
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JwElHYNqh
抵不住。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtRQyGqeX8
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZTslitmVT
他決定到公園散步。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVT0zwuTDA
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL5UuRq94f
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKmZe7776v
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxJZXNyrKo
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。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7N2FtBmB8
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGsHtvadAW
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。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNOfd8hyI3
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqtnE2ygrz
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn3TiGizMk
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03W5HaU6zA
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgc9fYNnxN
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5Bbq5bNgr
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C7fBUXgvP
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfbplYBzVk
他不自已憶起亡妻……198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE7Y2xtn6h
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEFCEHyDDe
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。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbhgXPAL5L
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2xfrriiGe
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70YFgK5Vcu
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9AjGF9SWe
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEamvUz4X0J
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NDMlRqPax
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DVywpBHuF
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvrtAtO9MT
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWtt5CTcio
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlZvTUgzPu
「快了、快了。不用著急！」198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e3lyBoBAF
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMPXp7k5An
「即是何時？」198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomgIQEUgnv
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNyzau0u55
「下一個夏天。」198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQTMvYagLG
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyW5IBg9fq
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。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrr4i1N5Ev
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKhZkXqwnD
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIWMS58KLM
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFlTOMHXPO
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zVK6QdAZo
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0BuTJC64e
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD4YA7JQyq
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCnW1BJp2L
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。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpatePjfrU
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Nzd4xvu6z
內心終於安定下來。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74vnXUMwFn
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXRMhxY1wX
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』！」198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCa4nO6WEi
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN8C5faNg5
「但你的血糖……」198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1VjjdC5Uk
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpagMO2VRaD
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYxpT9oOSR
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJc1IbdOox
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC3G4gqn1y
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W7ielB9v0
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。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAflaMfnoYf
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjwQ1v289p
兒子送她一根拐杖。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2oG11VJM5
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiPQUMKzYg
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。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q14Lakqi3
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY4IZD5Shg
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。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVoE5sRryG
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjiKPExvGj
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』！」198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTNsecb7J6
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDDTdQpUCI
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。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2Ga5rS6gb
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYiA3QDPfv
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。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3P6SrgCNz
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEfZPoEPCL
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。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYC6G8KNyv
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNruAOupX1c
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXovWaQmh1B
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMvKZvuVuJ
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。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dIXm7IMRZ
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjdNeTc9RU
於願足矣。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcp1GjPuQL
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNbS2ci8JO
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGCUBuOrT1
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVs4dB3uZw
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GPSD3Qdn7
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnRivHIBli
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCXUNmF3op
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PuQSW90lE
總得走下去，不是嗎？198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDpPmMDGU7
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSWVPv7qqy
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KaLoNKy6U
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w8rmkLMtz
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LBvs1n6Cf
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCFsyXrvQ8
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2jbXZ5G1U
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoEeWMOt1B
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP5gF5U8Pi
