夜色如墨，家家戶戶紛紛點起懸掛於外牆的水漣燈，水漣燈的光如清透水光，明亮了沁涼如水的恬靜夜晚。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpcENJmTeA

　　悄然來訪的綿綿細雨，在水面上掀起一波波微小漣漪，雨打荷葉的輕響幽微而空靈，於朦朧的江南煙雨天聽來格外清晰。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE2CfiVHqx
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6itpG1sii
　　這場雨已經連續下了七天七夜，對我們這些水生水長的連方鎮居民而言，可是身心舒暢的好日子，不少鎮民都會待在自家水閣裡賞荷聽雨，怡然自得。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiAzhwwAK9
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BMo3814Qf
　　「漪洀，許久不見了，快坐下吧。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5acB5MJYr
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw9cujxAnk
　　在青門客棧的水閣內烹茶的清漣，姿態端雅地如同被雨水清洗的蓮花，他看見我的到來，便熱情地笑著招呼我。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRkXwXabB8
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTd0vl5lOz
　　我默默地頷首致意，坐在他對面的座位上。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQJtwyrmOq
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJHDvU242E
　　石桌上的茶水正被炭爐煮得暖熱，飄散出氤氳茶香，與被雨水洗得清透的淡淡蓮香，融混成更加悠遠清洌的芬芳。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU84md1Avi
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTABFf9511W
　　「來到這了，先喝杯茶暖暖身吧。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWapHMzdBdV
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLxOdGGSJe
　　清漣在我的青竹茶盞裡注入茶水，澄清的碧綠茶湯上浮盪著一枚淡粉蓮瓣，更顯雅致清趣。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vZyg9MwZ4
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDckZBy0qIm
　　我沒有理由拒絕，清冽茶水滑入我口中的剎那，喉舌間便凝聚了一股頗具深韻的苦澀，但細嚐到底後，舒展開來的是滲入心脾的清透甘甜。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwNNIlRiKF
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDerm8rTmlf
　　「你煮的蓮心清露，已經跟清波姨的不相上下了呢。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx739zwEvL
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaLOi2wQeh
　　聽見我的感嘆之語，清漣的唇角勾起欣慰卻又些許苦澀的笑，說道：「娘親已經不在了，若我不能煮出來的話，這味道就要失傳了……」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG9rghoByS
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZYQFLl8VH
　　語畢，沉默在我和清漣周遭悄悄蔓延，淅瀝瀝的雨聲在默然中迴響著。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o4CBD7elH
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt6TbkJL5k
　　三年前，清漣和涓兒成親後，我就搬離了青門客棧，不再當客棧的夥計。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1N9EqbbjG
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvCPNLJVgA
　　我選擇在連方鎮偏僻的某處定居，成為舟夫替外來客擺渡以餬口，避免與清漣有過多接觸。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZviNtTwHH
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm9qpLU1c3
　　清漣似乎看出我對他的刻意迴避，他沒有向我深究原因，把心思都放在青門客棧和妻子身上，我和清漣也愈漸疏離。過去十幾年親密無間的情誼，被歲月的匆匆流逝給輕易沖淡。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzqgPOXXOe
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsD2Y3EmBM
　　這幾年來，即使無法化解的苦悶於胸口不斷積累沉澱，這樣的距離卻讓我獲得了心靈的寧靜，我可以學著慢慢放下這段情思，讓將來的自己能笑著說，對清漣的這份情愛只是年少輕狂的誤解罷了。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReUDdShodH
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqn2D9X1MV
　　但是今夜，清漣主動邀我到青門客棧品茶敘舊，不尋常的邀約讓我心底湧起強烈的不安，但隱然生出一絲的期盼，卻又讓我前來赴約……409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRR3qYhxGN
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcnU2gUhxS
　　「漪洀，如今你過得好嗎？舟夫的工作應該很操勞吧。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea0pXra163
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI6QS7oc9G
　　清漣首先打破靜默，而我則輕啜一口茶，淡淡地道：「還好，工作再辛勞，習慣了便沒什麼，反正日子總得過下去……」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U9Ot8sHhr
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxotO5B5xAF
　　雖然這些年不是沒跟清漣見過面，但像這樣坐下來好好說話卻是少見，我偷偷覷看清漣幾眼，他的眉眼已擺脫年少時期的青澀稚嫩，多了幾分成熟穩重的韻味，舉手投足間展現內在本質的清俊秀雅，讓我的目光依依不捨地在他身上流連徘徊。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjTYJDSmUP
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnzCUTxT4L
　　此時我才驚覺，我對清漣的情意不但沒有消退，反而蘊積得更加深重，在看見他時一股腦傾瀉而出。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8yf6ipaPS
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvEBlc6WLU
　　難以抑止的情思滿漲於胸口，這般糾纏著我的冤孽魔障，如同無底泥沼，終究令我陷溺而向下沉淪，此生無法脫離了嗎……？409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCwvZlXBnS
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lUPgutCgi
　　縱使內心是千頭萬緒的洶湧澎湃，我卻將其壓抑在平靜淡漠的表情之下，不讓清漣察覺到我的糾結心思。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdMQpFrAPL
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9FpKOT6fh
　　「是嗎，你覺得好就好了。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtPp5FEIgT
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4en67xBr3A
　　對於我故作淡漠的回應，清漣露出釋懷似的神情，將目光投向水閣外的雨幕濛濛。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A6pRwMNz8
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GUCHv7j8B
　　「以前你剛來這的時候，還老是懊惱自己學不會渡舟，但過沒多久，你的渡舟仙法就使得比我還行了。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBUWqab353
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTezv2moJB8
　　「那時你總是晃悠悠地渡著蓮舟，而我就坐在你的蓮舟上頭，天南地北地說著各種故事軼聞，一同行遍連方鎮裡的每條水路。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHa8410x9f
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk7ookc2oj
　　「然後等到天完全黑了，我們就點著水漣燈回家，回到家後娘親都會叨唸我們一番，卻又已經煮好了夜宵給我們，就怕我們餓著了……」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkdFdzRMU7
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghGRcG2EYQ
　　清漣低啞的聲音滿溢懷思，宛若悠悠流水，溯回遙遠歲月的彼岸409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzR1EkGeSL
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU22Q3vG1M
　　「那些，已是好久好久以前的往事了。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28iMN7UcyK
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhs1vZx6wO
　　我淡然地提醒清漣，那段無憂無慮的日子，是我們已然回不去的往昔。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhYbi4DZHH
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6ZYuqbKE4
　　「是啊，你說得對。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBvIefr3OD
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmzG1BmjE3
　　清漣從我的話裡明白了，他的心緒從記憶彼端回到當下，那一雙清明澈亮的瞳眸正對著我。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAx1u5bYkP
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFnNY08DOj
　　那一刻，一道細微漣漪，在我死寂已久的心湖悄悄擴大。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgtbYo7ZKt
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBVig5SzPZ
　　「漪洀，我有件事想拜託你。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cUbfZu9lX
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnzWWhpFt5
　　「什麼事，先說吧。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH0XYwZ2mN
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4VRkdzxBO
　　我沒有直接答應清漣，因為清漣的態度誠懇而嚴肅，卻隱然透著一股訣別的堅決，讓我心裡生出一絲憂慮。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT8qekPGBX
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIuvddJQGp
　　「我想拜託你，在我離開這裡之後，替我照顧涓兒。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkxy1Uwa4k
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uWJvOEGll
　　如同一道猛雷直劈我的腦袋，我愣了半晌說不出話。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv3uLNU1wQ
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH1cNgQxex
　　過了許久，我發出近乎嘶啞的聲音：「你要去哪裡？你找我來，就只是為了說這個嗎？」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCQiL6EG9N
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi9yAIQuj9
　　「漪洀，你現在還不知道吧，我們黃朝與西方異族的戰爭，已經蔓延到武陵山南方來了。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrCh9ZXC4l
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiibIIfDCx
　　「這是前幾日投宿在我們客棧的京城商人帶來的消息，據說前方戰事吃緊，黃朝軍節節敗退，死傷慘重。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcfBCAbXHP
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNslWtMKkoP
　　清廉語重心長地說道，神情無比凝重，我已經隱約察覺到這番話背後所代表的含意……409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3evOfh6GHe
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDSKd038nL
　　「再過不久，朝廷就要徵召新的兵源了，之前我們連方鎮因地處偏遠，所以沒有受到徵召，但我想這次徵兵令就會來到我們這了。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRrpNKKfZ3
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcQWUHjMya
　　「連方鎮裡所有入籍的男丁應該會被徵召入伍，但漪洀你不同，你是從外地來的孤兒，籍冊上不會有你的名字，你也不會被徵召。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ25DKT8p1i
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzTJgvAszI
　　「所以我想拜託你，在我入伍後替我照顧涓兒，現在涓兒有了身孕，留下她一人在這，我始終放心不下啊。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDAsEbOvVN
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeDaLmlNpV
　　「這是我對你，最後的請求……」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhibCUc1rSw
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzfKj7KqZY
　　清漣極為哀戚地低聲懇求，坦露出最真實的軟弱及無奈。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZzRbrRJN3
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcG6ynvr00
　　我默默的聽他說完，然後面無表情地冷然道：「你以為我會像以前那般，答應你的任何要求嗎？」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv1Ykam8IH
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSrbAg6G6j
　　清漣在那一瞬面露愕然，料想不到我會這般斬釘截鐵地拒絕他。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTHmuFoirg
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraHWom9ifk
　　「我知道我對你有所虧欠，但你忍心涓兒受苦嗎？」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi9xakGdzC
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSWvXTyBPF
　　「這話什麼意思？」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7PID9rLX5
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqr77cxaYD
　　我感到不太對勁，風雨欲來山滿樓的強烈不安充塞我的內心。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGfVPgMIxk
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50Nzr6v0By
　　「我明白的，漪洀，其實你對涓兒，是有情的吧……」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmekLrTUjH
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwG9C4Icmd
　　伴隨這句話朝我襲來的洶湧激流，將我整個人徹底吞沒。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzxu0FydAd
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwNCOIBRSA
　　雖然清漣滿載哀愁的清俊面龐在我眼底無比清晰，但我的心裡卻是昏黑一片，無法多作思慮，只能用嘶啞低沉的聲音，從乾澀得發緊的喉間擠出沉重的疑問：「你為什麼……會如此想？」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp8ZNKdnAE
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnetWCBGBh
　　「其實很久以前，我就害怕涓兒會對你萌生情意，所以才會想先對涓兒表明心意。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZcXbVMJfT
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1gmZVPf4p
　　「但自從我和涓兒在一起後，你整個人就變得不太舒坦，抑鬱寡歡，像是不想看到我和涓兒走得太近。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcKZmQ0Epw
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg6g8qU9rj
　　「所以我就察覺到你對涓兒有情，但我卻選擇忽略你的感受，因為我是真心喜歡涓兒。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnuc7WH93X
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTsQXUNTRK
　　「然而你卻因為顧慮我，一直隱忍下來，甚至在我和涓兒成親後，獨自搬離客棧。這一切都是我逼你的……我對不起你……」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyfANfCBlb
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHArCWFMzF6
　　清漣鏗鏘有力的音調，把他深藏多年的心聲說得真真切切，他的一字一句都在緊掐著我的心房。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrFuW0f45A
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIvin8UPQV
　　我的劇烈心跳是無聲的吶喊，我想叫清漣不要再說了，卻發現自己發不出一點聲音。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpySORzm5rE
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYpcT1KDf8
　　「你這一生都不會原諒我也沒關係，但如果你還對涓兒有一絲憐惜，在我走後，就請你替我……」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu0pe0iR6M
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwxrEGOSbg
　　「不，清漣，你始終什麼都不明白。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBT0d9dwwk
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUamITpICoM
　　我冷冷吐出的這句話像猛然丟進水裡的小石子，在深靜清幽的雨夜，在清漣的雙眸中，掀起困惑驚疑的重重波紋。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanbqTg20kG
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR1qCe48NR
　　我近乎偏執地凝視那滄桑俊雅的面容，一股油然而生的衝動，令我想對他宣洩蘊藏多年的深深情思，義無反顧地投身進那雙清澈如水的眼眸中，即使會就此溺斃也無所謂……409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT0BCbDXTR
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53t7QRHDhn
　　但，一切都只是空想。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodRCziEhpI
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAQzyaSAdY
　　我逕自起身踏出青門客棧的大門，將那杯還留有餘溫的蓮心清露，清漣的聲聲挽留，盡數拋在身後，只留下空寂的淅淅雨聲以及最後無言的道別。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZle8LyeFo
