他在梳化上猛然醒來。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUwj5mhw1U
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLRFKMHdIE
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。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu9fHFCeWy
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYcLYluoJv
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。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon6uvBhIKf

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。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEjS1TWszg
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN8zsO9ekJ
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。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjcNLYVxeQ

莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKteySKSLym
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZGrnzTH5r
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0PozQNs0h
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa89FhayDN
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4Imwm2SX1
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw43paeuAI
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzODnFuLUog
抵不住。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw35nrpWkj8
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMXnDJrr8v
他決定到公園散步。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHpWLzbzzr
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNkPMwxRq9
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4aWaKU2sj
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUZS7UejGE
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。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxq97uqg54
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG75bCw46rP
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。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AaY7p0BQb
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPW89VolR8
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcr8ULZtat
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUoWCPY7XV
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmmXH9RFGw
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0FJ93hJPG
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrOia6OJC6
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00TlgMppQW
他不自已憶起亡妻……290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RaGiUTpXD
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL1mEYDUXU
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。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KrpUthDnb
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi5wD9YOzB
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGncjmoUsPN
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIbfhBhqi4
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1LDnwjirk
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEyb7lmsM3
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao35NtIkCv
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEjJ3A78nc
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WIXsz25a7
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhXrkALfkq
「快了、快了。不用著急！」290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRlMGxfEO7
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp2qitevOC
「即是何時？」290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRXmlXiUKq
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDAaihHbDe
「下一個夏天。」290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsEbT0NH4l
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVahMJ56Ru
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。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSWpE8PInW
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU7yZGWxxi
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tZ4R1lWnz
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEMNOlEffN
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISAVobSxVa
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmNrpAqQTe
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga8GcFk0vh
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdD3Pcv7UI
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。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T4VHFId9v
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezsb0KKuV0
內心終於安定下來。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oq2jmxfg8
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxgYqB1mNy
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』！」290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0kMwf1K9b
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqqtxAIsGC
「但你的血糖……」290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ALMDmK94S
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEoagOCZsu
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjy6GvxntW
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYoZqxFkYR
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf1nFnTTqI
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzmd8Q5Ab1
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。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWjD8pjB3V
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlj17Eb9be
兒子送她一根拐杖。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63Fc990ARQ
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC9b3LIs64
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。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI1VEcocEX
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52oQUOfjwK
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。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoae3Cx3wT9
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRFcP38BYR
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』！」290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ABlBr4wBS
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNizVLuPJJ
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。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55OHHoVfif
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSchhdz3lD
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。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZoGcJljlQ
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUuplt3uHK
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。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KdkdXlBYr
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KA9hKgSzi
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS4BcJuNtL
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6JgaSUlaV
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。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2g4Zsaqcf
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XnrC4gw9T
於願足矣。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87jWFqu6Jx
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZT5Gip73e
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO3hAVRAOV
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB0hHO0dQo
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvI0qvk15C
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzij8ml29Af
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy95l7dQTi
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLbDZCeQZ6
總得走下去，不是嗎？290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Kgeujfv5g
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBenitF8xU2
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq7fZY6iEo
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRaqYbEvVA
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrGcB83zxZ
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYARqujpNvg
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG29CoZzvgu
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVQmE5NGtr
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsqCo6OIpi
