他在梳化上猛然醒來。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduGav9zfcf
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xRpMleCUy
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9IBL642rn
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBqz4jGqov
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSkaYqsahr
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLmNIZGeAa
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5fDnanTDe
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXdWjh1BjU
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf7uKPAzhm
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITOUOeOTrn
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN9TYfHxu8
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTf62m7wDl
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRrAjMTjQG
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7v7IcVo2p
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D9I87sKci
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB57QRKsSK
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkVqTd3hKX
抵不住。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTot4rqhBec
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYU0l11Efn
他決定到公園散步。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQEHvFlxIS
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAfeYRFLrN
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpEfSez0rE
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBPpni41YE
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxp7bogAyd
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTpFlFyg57
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMqu5F22lc
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPSN8U4gci
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbOhhDA02Q
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrGnSw9C6M
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEldKyKYqg
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EFGMCAFim
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLf6uV7Lq0
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX9rc8woaS
他不自已憶起亡妻……252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhmmDqqeBx
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBNLVTXdPW
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22AhZfQz7q
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48hC7APMKR
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1FHgrgfqo
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhWA9mVIXN
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrmphgqs8x
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwjCAUo219
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNL9hxKJNY
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccxKnNIe5c
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8QfaVRpCU
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUaJCeM8ep
「快了、快了。不用著急！」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfVF11r8DW
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKeQNQQpF1
「即是何時？」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK2t7xLy8s
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgSK53JDSu
「下一個夏天。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuKZrb5tSP
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJhQX8rjjZ
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8wryEP4RO
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTNY0VFPko
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA9TFx8Ole
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1ek4GeXgL
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR1PO5kMUI
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTGAhQ0qBk
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBwrxBWcq7
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3BNggEMdf
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvqGioBE8j
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7gojIZjHV
內心終於安定下來。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjTgV1AJ09
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0Ej9yHzjJ
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』！」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgjBfvtwXy
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLqnfqbtx5
「但你的血糖……」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsoHORpQ0s
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLtqaBO6Kz
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSagMJeVKAW
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPxhZYw9q4
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO7frDWfNE
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5XvhsherT
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh6zeDCGgs
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNarNgw4RgI
兒子送她一根拐杖。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUbpcvnaNX
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl107Yvyjo
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3GQdHha9I
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH11jZEJl0c
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGpyvd0E4O
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96zN3jZlA7
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』！」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5XQwNGN9N
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwlhmm8ewG
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eUqifX0b5
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33ZdGw0JMJ
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPPkbpP02N
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6lwqyYedc
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRfyJxqM4Q
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40vLqxh15T
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHhKAEtuz4
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I6phQ957K
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5VTabOE7Y
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiuazxxvtV
於願足矣。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4t4EvcTOr
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lbDW3ccvF
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1nWZQZVoK
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG11lGhNuy
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPszlX3n24w
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplBXoHM14f
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR837fhWVZ0
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl57P0GAvfr
總得走下去，不是嗎？252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSdsPRGTdq
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NtOXkrv8a
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhvRA8qzoY
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq0agtiMQm
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdvfAKPJr6
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHRd2C9qA5
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEcLXsiXeq
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsUh28G3AV
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErL91fwbhB
