他在梳化上猛然醒來。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc16RlwcJC
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4BPyOLymm
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BatyN5tz8
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH0cmjbfSH
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUwnOZW522
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk0lViSxGP
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Uk7EIXK6p
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rem9JtE9Y
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJJDidD69q
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hTIWy3qzj
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZLs5eK6lk
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj7KZp8OuF
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRc97pxk3e
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNcAUZ0CSq
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPbS7dHuuc
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWQMf5nkKK
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvgkzNKpsp
抵不住。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLgUfQs24O
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoCTOu1pjs
他決定到公園散步。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS5hmwPBgh
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJqr4JWvOp
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmssIZmkDC3
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59RpvUl947
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mFCHUb92J
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqujn0jVLf
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsj6nYknZs
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQf0SOxMWi
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxiAUSVZY0
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MOImciQgW
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4bo2bXE2N
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdnS766eUO
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58LClAxvlk
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2AkvVVIrH
他不自已憶起亡妻……256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUtLYFSeAx
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgXSW9quOJ
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMP4dBHJ9R
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAQ3VQyAGK
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf4YkVXshy
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig1qeIklHD
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOXuiAG8av
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBg6H3KDt2
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSixjUvHIj
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY7AD3DclN
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLCJRbPPDh
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7r9xxgY94
「快了、快了。不用著急！」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocWagriYiU
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqYnT4W8vl
「即是何時？」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBN6m2e1tt
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnR9cUR7Oe
「下一個夏天。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXzKvCOxHB
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEUBfqH4B3
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbfJ37rKH7
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgSaoAMtR8
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRzZJfeDR7
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbcMff419m
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPwKnBPo1K
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8coc8bcFzY
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFWABTz78X
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M7ncQiz8j
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzZTUaVGuP
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovnq2CTFAH
內心終於安定下來。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhO9FlkP8p
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznwZek0uSV
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』！」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81ssKjtXTu
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblGoVBmjmO
「但你的血糖……」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS9euoEnHx
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaozEolfQnH
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulv6G1gJIF
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kx7YjcJvi
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eFGTt3wAM
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCLX2DxIxb
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZAhad8yN4
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNm1iEe414
兒子送她一根拐杖。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZmusXdZYm
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCshwUNjHw
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc251cbR34
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF71L3WV5G
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLJFqaeq7X
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSATOhCN39g
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』！」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyOLNJ6AeW
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll0aVWQqtH
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5K3yApGm4
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVir2EmD8v4
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uV4iuUACG
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1rENb4CeH
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVGUjok9DM
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkmMKF6bso
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi03FmRjv9
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBN8LIMXSg
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT3sCH8laL
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOd7cPhCt8
於願足矣。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocNGvJw8LP
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwcviaVjSI
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniYRzIU5Iy
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCwNyFn8jG
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcjUsi5g0D
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9CGWk6ZXJ
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9geADsCbA
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pwKd3CI49
總得走下去，不是嗎？256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRLSiFIikZ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDzfcWECCN
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY3neZz14O
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1plh5K0mk
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLT8RhB3D9
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLqnDJOdWe
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULp3njQ26I
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV7cDEcGeb
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeReS0c5Tob
