暮靄之城3《雙塔紅霧》 - 楔子

「......主，萬能的主，求您恩賜......不要讓我們遭受創傷，不要讓我們沾染罪惡，求您讓我們克服一切煩惱，並遠離罪惡的誘惑......」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42ZpyEZ54W
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ2TgzDNpA
在瘋狂奔馳於清晨薄霧的馬車中，婦人低頭祈禱。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qlEwhHJql
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMtF8VznSh
顛簸路途一再打斷她的聲音，但即使嘴唇顫抖發白，她依然緊握著手中的基督聖像喃喃祈禱，而另一手，則將緊靠在她身邊，頭髮微亂的華服少女攬在懷中。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7yR2bcuCh
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl8kxxDC3d
她們在逃亡。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxlFc1FOU1
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKaWQHIpml
少女從頭到尾一聲不吭，蒼白小臉上有著疲倦神情，髮髻已經因為馬車顛簸而散開些許，看起來有些狼狽。可她始終緊挨著奶媽，揣著懷中用小塊花巾包裹的盒子，像是要用身體護衛它似的抱著它，用力到連手指關節都泛白。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZW49jli3N
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOElHNa8xXi
略顯福態的婦人仍然在禱告。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSi0sK1gLK
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgystfpqn8
可突然，像是輪子滾過什麼石塊，高速奔馳中的馬車劇烈震了一下，那瞬間像被高高拋起而又墜落的失重感揪緊了少女和婦人的心臟。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYfwd0tQst
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCX60NasQP
少女低低叫了一聲，更加用力地往奶媽身邊靠。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU42Abb5Hdw
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrusYpUfOZ
「......別擔心，小姐。」雖然自己也哆嗦著，可婦人還是強打起精神安慰少女，「我們會安全的。」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpa6Dr28Sz
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRVG56U5Sv
「......會嗎......」少女抬起絕望但渴求希冀的眼睛看著奶媽。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznnkUtvosn
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1vrcIodyj
「當然。」婦人說，同時也在給自己打氣，「前面就是邊界，只要出了森林，就可以和大少爺派來的人會合......」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUKcBGbwmo
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMmeEzjWlg
可她話還沒說完，「咄」一聲脆響帶著恐慌釘上馬車車廂，同時也釘近了車廂內的女眷心裡。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrnkl75SyT
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc5P6U8BFo
「奶媽！」少女低叫，將頭偎進婦人懷中尋求安慰。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOjHI5HURa
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfkgIaRU7f
「喔！主！」婦人臉色慘白地呼喚聖名。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JLF7rDcYa
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODwhUQ2SP8
可追擊的箭矢毫不留情地在車廂上敲擊著瘋狂的鈍響。前方拉車馬匹受驚，步伐變亂，連帶著馬車也被左右甩動。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxywhVBvUI
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqbIJmHnBK
外面傳來馬車夫的高聲叫罵，以及追兵們越來越近的馬蹄聲與高喊聲。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMKcOBjxrN
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z78yI1bBm
兩個女人在車廂內被甩離座位，跌撞上車廂門。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV70nlqqjDa
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U9wdCQNrC
她們低呼，婦人連忙把少女扯進懷中抱緊，用自己的身體保護她。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECBrsx2nMz
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcurNEwN99o
可下一波震盪更加劇烈。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwx34rhi3a
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX7mQqXgPB
後方射來的箭矢卡進急速滾動的車輪間，衣邊輪子失衡，整輛馬車巢一旁狠狠偏斜開來，甩動的力道將依偎在一起的少女與婦人毫不留情地甩開。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGraLejLVt
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOx2Ohox5j
婦人跌在座椅編，好不容易攀住椅子穩固自己的身體。可少女卻沒有那麼幸運。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN5tRKg0u3
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3BpuSTgSs
震盪時那個小包裹自她懷中掉出去，想起父兄曾叮囑這東西有多重要，黑髮的女孩不假思索地撲過去抓住它、再次抱回懷中。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY76tD9efqT
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXEqwzckcZ
可還來不及鬆一口氣，下一波顛簸就將她纖細的軀體拋出去，重重撞上馬車車門！35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9PIwZs3ry
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKJ3CICKXb
車門禁不住撞擊力道鬆了開，少女就在馬車飛馳間跌了出去！35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWR2W3Zt0t
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeXqmlloMO
「呀啊——」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwX9KSpY0Y
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ1EUAYd1b
「小姐——」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBh9brY73R
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEEPbleRQU
少女纖細的軀體在空中無助地墜落，摔進路旁的樹叢間。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTpRTtwuvD
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvrRiyqhF0
遭受追擊的馬車也在下一刻翻覆，拉車的馬匹被射中腿部，長嘶一聲倒地。連帶著馬車傾覆，在大路上滑行一段，掀起的黃沙遮蔽了混亂中的一切，包括少女飛跌出去的身影。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMUpSPxI7b
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbcPb4HSql
轟隆巨響令少女呼吸一窒，顧不得被尖銳石塊和樹枝擦破的傷，她手腳並用地從樹叢中爬起，往煙塵中一看——35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXmwKxXksQ
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj9l9RIYco
馬車整個翻倒，還在車廂內的婦人來不及逃出，被笨重的車體壓住下半身，痛苦地呻吟著。倒地的馬匹旁，車夫雖然僥倖跳車逃過一劫，但才剛站起來，就被隨後而來的箭矢貫穿胸膛，一聲不吭便倒地不起。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtUgTMmdIn
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8Sl95jsve
從未經歷過這一切的少女到抽一口氣，摀住將驚喊出聲的嘴，大大的眼眶裡含著淚水。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm16LD9PGjq
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pzjCYVTBj
後頭追兵的聲音趕到，少女下意識地往樹叢裡縮，盡量縮小身形，藏在一片枝葉中。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZiiVhcTbd
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyazAeOnslr
就在這時，她望見被壓在馬車下的奶媽抬起頭來，鮮紅的血自她額頭流下，襯著慘白的臉色看起來觸目驚心。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xdE2LeORs
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0Pomi6n8e
婦人的視線往她這裡掃過，正巧與少女四目相對。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQr9UbaAI5
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBbI1DyS8g
少女的心臟猛然揪緊——怎麼辦？她該怎麼做？35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLoNYDhVqA
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxvtCZuuZZ
她不知道是不是該出去救人，也不知道奶媽會不會將她的所在位置告訴追上來的人，也不知道自己現在該如何反應。只能盡量縮緊肩膀，抱緊懷中的包裹，小心翼翼地更往樹叢裡縮。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv3FIPZLJO
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmpPHWBUfm
後面的追兵很快趕到，那是一隊五人的搜索隊，每個人都背著弓、帶著劍，騎著快馬。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUWbmGHgPy
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZTVN2DGJI
他們從馬上躍下，一腳踢開車夫的屍體，粗魯地在馬車四周巡視。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCRsYXLTBm
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM8FkSMTAW
「在這裡！」一人發現被壓在車廂下的婦人，高聲呼喊同伴。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kuCB07Jol
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zqfM5Mz7a
像是領頭的男人走過來，一把扯起婦人的頭髮，強迫她抬頭。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFdxuWL2zV
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzfN66fEB4
「只有妳一個人嗎？」男人問。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlmbAd4b8H
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN1WTmNhzL
樹叢裡的少女聽不清他們說的話，心臟劇烈跳動的聲音令她什麼都聽不清。睜大的眼睛裡只有奶媽染血的面孔和悄悄向她移來的視線。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbS5dQ9xqQ
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRd864US8c
「還有別人嗎？」見她遲遲不回答，男人用力地搧了婦人一巴掌。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sRNBXR7LK
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojIgRqqL8I
被打得呻吟一聲，婦人開始啜泣，緩緩回答，「沒、沒有了......」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuJmWAdo5p
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16UbWEhVrf
「可惡！不是這一邊！」男人忿忿地鬆開手，站起身來，大聲指揮部下撤離。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy36ILfiG48
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBePOL03UtR
而婦人失去支撐的頭部軟軟垂下，可眼睛還是盯著藏身樹叢裡的少女看。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Oxhq0x4f4
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtRo70atn8
——快走......35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTlEwyuJOa
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKih9y3omOL
淚水從她眼眶裡湧出，她其實已經看不清少女是否還在那個方向，但嘴唇仍蠕動著，無聲叮囑。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTlg5bhPiL
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJubzeJL3b
「這個女人怎麼辦？」一名搜索隊員問著隊長。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYo9avwXCt
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ug6gTxuMP
男人瞥了倒地的婦人一眼，聲音冷漠，「放著不管也是死路一條，讓她早點解脫吧。」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcYynDo3GF
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpNwV0cetq
這句話如同針尖一樣打入婦人心裡，刺痛的絕望湧上，她掙扎著想要求生，無奈下半身動彈不得，而失血也讓她的意識開始模糊。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY97RgmGko
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0dyvWZHiV
男人轉身離去後，留在原地的部下高舉長劍，劍尖朝下對準她的心臟。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN8oMzM6vk
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y3IwilS7R
那抹寒光在婦人模糊的淚眼裡異常刺目。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iqJKnAalO
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6Dxr14GBG
也刺痛了躲在不遠處的少女的眼。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yBqprXgzp
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EGEWYBKrT
「......不......」淚落下的時候，連同哀求也一起吞沒。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa0HpLC419
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHighl5K5Q
劍尖刺下。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaeEU2oPJM
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLJBXTmNKY
婦人的生命就這麼平靜地殞落。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF95Y9mo0my
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwbXep3nU3
少女咬著下唇，瞪大眼睛看著這一切。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VR7Hy6KuV
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqbJTCOmbC
她多想閉起眼不看，可沒有辦法，身體不聽她使喚。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpONVfv30kF
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6g0j8n6kQ
尖銳的劍從婦人體內抽出，帶出鮮血，濺上了男人的褲管。但就像他絲毫不在意地奪走一條人命地對褲子上的汙垢不以為意，大步跨過地上的屍體，翻身上馬。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PBWsSMfps
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFlI4CEc9K
一行五人很快策馬離去，馬蹄聲遠離後，森林裡又恢復寂靜。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8r62GmOw4
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbo7g6x08W
少女壓抑著哭喊，想放聲尖叫的衝動在她喉嚨裡只剩下悶聲啜泣。她從樹叢裡爬出來，細白手臂上的刮傷奪不去她的注意力，她全身慣住在眼前狼藉的馬車，以及躺在鮮血中的奶媽屍體。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV67fUfjrZq
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JJHiX5HSP
她繞著路走，手指攥緊了破爛的裙襬，另一手將包裹抱的更緊。她不敢靠近屍體，只能在周圍徘徊、無所適從。最後累了，只好在樹叢邊坐下，縮緊膝蓋，顫抖著哭泣。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh4MhLDlvu
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG03XmHlaty
可沒有人會來。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczPJuS1HHR
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fZKtdTjd8
也沒有人會給少女幫助。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGSHDDXQlV
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMrsKJikvx
天色暗了下來，在密林裡，光線消逝的更快。而在森林裡活動的細微聲響，一但入夜，就像被放大數百倍似的，圍繞在少女身邊，帶著恐懼以及寒冷。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGNsd1keLH
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU90QWLInM
她發著抖，一開始是因為害怕，但後來就是貨真價實的寒冷，腹中的空虛感同樣折磨著她。少女已經不再哭泣，因為她沒有半點力氣。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VLyGeMGRW
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHkSDNF8DZ
最後，她想起馬車裡有一籃麵包，還有她的斗篷。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAAHdnKFUl
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5fywMRMPS
馬車翻覆了，可是麵包和斗篷應該都還在。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhRvF1XvJO
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1naTp6Kq1z
求生的抑制戰勝了她的恐懼，提供了一時的力量。她往馬車的方向爬去，攀上翻覆的車體，從被擠壓而破裂的部份鑽進去。裂口不大，幸好少女的身形還可以通過。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92HKtCINeB
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa1rKfDNwI
身上的洋裝經過這一連串慘劇已經破爛不堪，不過此刻少女毫不在意。她爬進車廂裡，找到被壓爛但還可以吃的麵包，狼吞虎嚥地吞下肚，填飽肚子後，她又從變成碎片的天鵝絨座椅下拉出斗篷，用它裹住身體，就這麼蜷在破敗的車廂裡。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonYsJtkk8e
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO1lYi6SBs
奶媽被壓住的腳踝就在身邊，提醒少女她離死亡多近。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUMrLzLlOJ
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF8s0OKCyr
她縮緊身體，口裡唸著禱詞，用力地，像只有它是她唯一可以倚仗、寄託的那般，緊緊抱住懷中的包裹，絕望地等待清晨的到來......ns3.141.24.158da2
