他在梳化上猛然醒來。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NzVBvZ9Fr
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7Lt28jqxu
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。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgr6GgJ2On
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JmwKo8sJb
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。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtXaT4y4Qn
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXgMEOMiss
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。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cg7Tc5GQc
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajijIqS33H
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。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35NVMRp8d4
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogVhAAyYOc
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0529BJOcc
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDoqllmrpa
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwSjLRsJ0a
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6iVARrHG1
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzwPaWps06
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8sENdJEkL
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqUBjJIFrP
抵不住。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0vmxrXgnt
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jQKgLqEkw
他決定到公園散步。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb3M0YL1hh
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEP7EArQzf
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyTS2DVFLf
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEjeUMMFt1
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。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClvSFiJavM
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht1S3H8eL9
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。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI2xpQIqDs
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSqRFvLWwI
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCjxbMOjgf
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2p1scXYO8
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvhqH3d4AI
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmJn7c9mxW
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvf9m78xKp
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf7jY8Hoaw
他不自已憶起亡妻……399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHAVdtmXgg
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7oTrMi6o9
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。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XkFEdDvTU
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCEC9mskEQ
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIHGy1HIC7
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibBdkE4e2W
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbs3tDgflo
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e0VcrfVSw
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UfbdkP4E1
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHezfaPc0T
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVLd7eK8ts
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNRenlnQkL
「快了、快了。不用著急！」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jvpioKoqY
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk2BDUU9kA
「即是何時？」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknSb54iNmY
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXmHV8c8EQ
「下一個夏天。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5mV9dM8yM
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl4q8s1E7l
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。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VwstympdJ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z7tbb40FE
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjmWqYsM9J
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFKseT04fA
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4iuIny5Mt
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6FDbR5A9L
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZKrztmOdE
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6a2cU87t1
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。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2hIPyxhqj
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl1cQU2k6e
內心終於安定下來。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg5wksrqJl
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu2fN0rfxJ
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』！」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQVl9UPGLs
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOdFl8YFO8
「但你的血糖……」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdWxtEtmTj
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWu2EaLtCj
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IsTVpIJkM
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N9IfSS8Le
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTWRFbujMw
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU4XSTN1Xy
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。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOnha0y1aD
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8CvvinM31
兒子送她一根拐杖。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFrbTqQdQN
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n82TtjJjg
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。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC44LupQSIy
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkph30gCi0
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。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXLU9DNcjQ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAArL2GcEuh
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』！」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0AHk0HNOl
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuMaDD0lZg
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。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktnnTUuewA
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8WdSqbMVM
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。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXIMpzvQRK
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKjlSRWkbJ
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。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk5DUFXpwq
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMTMzXGz25
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ6BAyGtS8
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzwgPncGmR
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。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8JZRs6OGw
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRF6Nsip5C
於願足矣。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYONq2CBFm
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiyGz4R27E
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50QBlanTYQ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR60HmR1fP
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalqnPvEhPa
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YgiQzEIfg
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK4Nt9IEgp
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPh9vvVCKR
總得走下去，不是嗎？399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF36QejW9a
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr68ApJTEc
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglK60OqaG0
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP9bXU21Rm
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKrzGMlMcV
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkoyxHaZJO
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhxNB7qhuL
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqhiuR54tZ
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh1vSDtcHb
