他在梳化上猛然醒來。192Please respect copyright.PENANA8KWT4axu6x
192Please respect copyright.PENANAqTzhCRM1Df
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。192Please respect copyright.PENANAooYrVHu1eA
192Please respect copyright.PENANAigVOyIjTw9
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。192Please respect copyright.PENANAlnyCiaoV4J
192Please respect copyright.PENANAUtdrqsCFFD
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。192Please respect copyright.PENANABDAwucnWj7
192Please respect copyright.PENANAlO6Nwpw4XR
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。192Please respect copyright.PENANApf6PN74JIw
192Please respect copyright.PENANA90H82u8CuU
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張192Please respect copyright.PENANA6JupHtG6Qy
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷192Please respect copyright.PENANAIA6B4nnvis
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長192Please respect copyright.PENANA8s3GBtlsEp
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量192Please respect copyright.PENANAmFsrc7VcsY
192Please respect copyright.PENANArIXnqSILLB
小便後,步出浴室,再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。192Please respect copyright.PENANAFSup6sNnpL
192Please respect copyright.PENANA2FT3AJKfE2
抵不住。192Please respect copyright.PENANAzbwZOfgm1e
192Please respect copyright.PENANAwr6JTU6RFp
他決定到公園散步。192Please respect copyright.PENANA8MiWMhnFN0
192Please respect copyright.PENANA60hKweQ3dv
望望手錶,是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。192Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2ImNf8nIx
192Please respect copyright.PENANA9E9nbapXOn
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。192Please respect copyright.PENANARo9PynfYjw
192Please respect copyright.PENANALJUYc7ELG7
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。192Please respect copyright.PENANA9u7CwMXF73
192Please respect copyright.PENANAFxzQLG2jPV
他知道自己該要感恩,奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。192Please respect copyright.PENANAcyXLorcUwS
192Please respect copyright.PENANAZSDrpyZMIq
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。192Please respect copyright.PENANAtpiR1VvKz2
192Please respect copyright.PENANA39ewnHJsNH
樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。192Please respect copyright.PENANADfH5Mb1Hqh
192Please respect copyright.PENANAey48Kin94i
他不自已憶起亡妻……192Please respect copyright.PENANAhGC8Z6vVMl
192Please respect copyright.PENANAyyijeF5i1h
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。192Please respect copyright.PENANAuklZUIMWDf
192Please respect copyright.PENANAKCMMQDnPxh
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。192Please respect copyright.PENANAez6PLtpd51
192Please respect copyright.PENANAwfL900F8EH
「我的腿康復不了,是嗎?」192Please respect copyright.PENANAzR9h3vY8gi
192Please respect copyright.PENANA6RZdArIPUT
「不是。你向來身體強健,這小小傷勢不是大問題。」192Please respect copyright.PENANAlLz2piPDRn
192Please respect copyright.PENANAQRsCkJtdHK
「我何時可以痊癒?我想去探望朋友。」192Please respect copyright.PENANAHxs7AvlMi0
192Please respect copyright.PENANAWeSbGaRfY9
「快了、快了。不用著急!」192Please respect copyright.PENANAAifKlMpXRK
192Please respect copyright.PENANANyRwMXIpZa
「即是何時?」192Please respect copyright.PENANAwahTaetQVE
192Please respect copyright.PENANA22XYVYoQRg
「下一個夏天。」192Please respect copyright.PENANApd4hasSces
192Please respect copyright.PENANADuba2DVtUi
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。192Please respect copyright.PENANA3NOhxMqSyO
192Please respect copyright.PENANAdjk7FasFYD
樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。192Please respect copyright.PENANAeBsyP79EuV
192Please respect copyright.PENANARgMEeWmnfS
感動,明明眼前只有絕望。192Please respect copyright.PENANA9sl8nj4Zx9
192Please respect copyright.PENANAXN7IP9FfCx
她的手忽爾不再無力,牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。192Please respect copyright.PENANA6jNKWm61Fh
192Please respect copyright.PENANA3V4mMlLRla
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。192Please respect copyright.PENANAAHLuvG4wH1
192Please respect copyright.PENANAY8p5PlHPKp
內心終於安定下來。192Please respect copyright.PENANA97Llp2Fq61
192Please respect copyright.PENANA4Pqeh4Sg9D
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』!」192Please respect copyright.PENANAIsu8uEpCpt
192Please respect copyright.PENANAd0T1iY8Rym
「但你的血糖……」192Please respect copyright.PENANAPPvzy1bWZZ
192Please respect copyright.PENANA04r3MqvHb4
「我向來身體強健,這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」192Please respect copyright.PENANATLwQLkGt7E
192Please respect copyright.PENANA5E84ioZEub
他會心一笑,笑她依舊貪吃如豬。192Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8jlQPNABZ
192Please respect copyright.PENANAM0UjrTyQP7
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。192Please respect copyright.PENANAdlTThlapv1
192Please respect copyright.PENANA1kr9URNVfA
兒子送她一根拐杖。192Please respect copyright.PENANA8jNuzI93x1
192Please respect copyright.PENANAyTSDBk73x1
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。192Please respect copyright.PENANAatnpnyY2CV
192Please respect copyright.PENANAF3j3M9EwuW
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。192Please respect copyright.PENANAswIMrWpbjC
192Please respect copyright.PENANAxI2UxkJkrw
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』!」192Please respect copyright.PENANAzxdI5Q6eSg
192Please respect copyright.PENANAWXWCvTgVZH
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。192Please respect copyright.PENANAhfQCJ1f1jB
192Please respect copyright.PENANAO9Xvfv8fmy
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。192Please respect copyright.PENANAFuHgYbwWKu
192Please respect copyright.PENANAKJUZInABK4
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。192Please respect copyright.PENANAdPAS3M7MQ9
192Please respect copyright.PENANAWx16oxvsfT
不要緊,反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。192Please respect copyright.PENANAC7aQpaJW43
192Please respect copyright.PENANA4xM8ypw4wV
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。192Please respect copyright.PENANA6EjXnidzMC
192Please respect copyright.PENANABfnnkh72lA
於願足矣。192Please respect copyright.PENANA6nsIXRvxN4
192Please respect copyright.PENANAGb5RmTmL4F
沒過幾天,還未開始探望朋友,她已於睡夢中悄然離世……192Please respect copyright.PENANAolNSP9oYyz
192Please respect copyright.PENANAw8dW3qJk98
公園裡,樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。192Please respect copyright.PENANA57Nux63z3T
192Please respect copyright.PENANA5Yfu6BGw2X
他不動聲息,藏起思念,繼續開步走。192Please respect copyright.PENANAPKuc85SwU7
192Please respect copyright.PENANA27YAuJ31ss
總得走下去,不是嗎?192Please respect copyright.PENANA0ICbSCA74x
192Please respect copyright.PENANAv4N8ALsldE
不努力走下去,就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。192Please respect copyright.PENANAZeLjvuRML3
192Please respect copyright.PENANAe6jYFmqj11
走到涼亭,看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。192Please respect copyright.PENANAf04uInZ3mg
192Please respect copyright.PENANAW5YjeTJ2Zs
棋局中,事事分明,步步無情。192Please respect copyright.PENANAa7HEF9CoFr
192Please respect copyright.PENANAxpW2I7ZsX5
他專注觀賽,全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。192Please respect copyright.PENANAv6LVUab7ms
