他在梳化上猛然醒來。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDZIqLYhnM
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPgymHMTeR
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。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA92rQHKekv
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlLchIrqD3
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。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWSMpKdNdp
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxKNYgEOj7
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。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvDHNAOvLo
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BHNBsSr5T
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。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVj3dxsprg
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsoSBYlKhI
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnAoDJBTZT
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1r6rkLXgN
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52btryjYeD
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiMCcGczci
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac3yCMR4Ub
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNghDBy27dk
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS2r9R2Nrb
抵不住。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQN3tfTJtz
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeWSDn23wF
他決定到公園散步。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo6oJnEvaV
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTnLOATdOG
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb1sRYA7hl
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyZUHJ8h8T
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。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk14ueNDonf
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBgkngMt2N
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。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmtUIWYRSJ
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnGJgXSwrk
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X6WFqW2or
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdkCUsvQcd
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmPOx5IBAH
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnNHVMluLu
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nUiXZa62j
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5vH8IjjEK
他不自已憶起亡妻……216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYftBzEQK1J
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYyx1UI1as
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。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xmfObtT9r
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVr8wqSkQR
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLjbHmU4iK
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJvSg0llge
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMK8ltxnGG
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQJ8weynJb
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lbkXks3Lr
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGObmxlMwK
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk96LWUAZ3L
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXnsMIuXQC
「快了、快了。不用著急！」216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpblAolQj1e
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL3dUjKhK4
「即是何時？」216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MXopGy2ZQ
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL1LzTaS1e
「下一個夏天。」216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWdD7I7chg
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrDMgKmEiD
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。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gSvILLS50
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe3rcDpCpr
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqenTiWcbJL
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pmAew9pL8
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKwsotfKKg
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bf1rsiHGU
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY0J3xOFrZ
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RqTNSQybF
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。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUlhzbQSrD
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUGppH1BTK
內心終於安定下來。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1XRoh8mXW
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FgETru74u
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』！」216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu0Fo5g914
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxJSR1ZKfv
「但你的血糖……」216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbpWOc9JoQ
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz2zQ8FVin
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrup19bDMjY
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMTsT3tJQH
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwrtGxXVQk
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpktGtkpOF
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。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSLotFYOy5
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPIywU1UMd
兒子送她一根拐杖。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yAU780vfV
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklltNIuDVz
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。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva4nKQmhsA
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaHvU8HAHs
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。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0bvEib7gP
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjqIDxXKDV
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』！」216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFtsFOckfU
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnU1PcdeTR
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。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSdZbV1JDP
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLLyXA8xi5
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。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS9g0eb8Ad
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9iNEsm9DW
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。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WoniBzqUG
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrYWMe2Deb
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXlR5qvm6c
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKGFVM2HqO
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。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEIp6wO8nS
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlRGV5PlBl
於願足矣。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW8A4sW752
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoLjfC5RNC
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9A5zGSYvZ
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrPY7GD4fm
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3vUl13xWz
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzigDGDALj
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSkNBDQawP
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY6PJV7sQb
總得走下去，不是嗎？216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE6mLtMW5L
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG2XqemHc9
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ets101Zxr
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3G64gZ3Yc
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqVZUNgXkn
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI68CFnDaO
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoJPLdjB3G
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWy8ZDNRHh
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8StEZC6sq
