他在梳化上猛然醒來。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXbruRXF6e
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUVQN4KOB6
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42TwWSRatb
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVquR8D7xD
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8enFuUklTW
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs70pdh7VhN
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1oIurhENT
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt63GcQuUn
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TC0bggmuU
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKizyC8WbvI
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV7BAyPDbN
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx6qC4sIon
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq7ot160uq
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUclUuitag7
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLmbh4jLrw
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLHthLCm6r
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM5VZtGw7B
抵不住。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaI2qnVf5U
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNkgiVtLxZ
他決定到公園散步。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlzzSqS91p
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9JfcSsdY8
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWJU3LDDJU
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosUkABPs6U
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirHI6ZN1Xf
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkhhW1Yf8T
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5AdvtJkxD
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8FZX3XqAg
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oyF0rz7rp
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NQcKTvhxF
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6niZWwdoLe
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBqn0Hre0K
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiQVXnDv6y
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0aU3gpQFn
他不自已憶起亡妻……218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi5xRyT61L
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamc53ibakR
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow0epo5RkN
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheGP68mKmO
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGURxSp2cm
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCikcf95oCJ
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89m3moYWTO
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjMROwlMSM
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcbwjp00W5
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV7pVh22wH
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb66nrTK5Kc
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGX7igHQU2
「快了、快了。不用著急！」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF9HVS076A
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEmwzeYQpb
「即是何時？」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjkMBM8nS1
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQcZFY6RDC
「下一個夏天。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIEZsWU0Vo
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlLkpulF1g
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI8NJtyND9
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4o480Ul6t
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SrsOtDAEs
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnWJDcrFuU
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmohqMPfWD
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvyqUAl0rD
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8ipJsNdFE
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6mZxwHyQf
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq78nUL7Wvm
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX6iQnSfDF
內心終於安定下來。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAbnmPPPNi
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSXSeKnClO
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』！」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMOtItot2t
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5UO5sZfno
「但你的血糖……」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bRTV7lWWC
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyxUiDzZan
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtFxmgOZcg
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w8LIWrzJg
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOAFAl41tI
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2rEbdVtdo
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVUDss5CDc
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs733eRkce0
兒子送她一根拐杖。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAheRIEydOb
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ319os7iyhL
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqB5DYVmnd
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1oe92lrxc
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AZcPCa49f
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fEULKQnYB
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』！」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK1FYD9VAX
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuTLUvPMcj
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vPftFiL5Q
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcfjq7xvYI
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd4XbtO4TZ
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mYOotwC21
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8X6nRhtX0
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzbDA2gAWT
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMMN7JceQ5
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrHHP8uspU
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo5mWbLf9T
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDga2aajd9
於願足矣。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqp8TrLgcC
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWKUF1IHeS
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1biZ1UT4Xs
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YycP4aCQi
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKKdXiRWZ1
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5xx5FxqhZ
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS45y50X6bO
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5za1CRBMcW
總得走下去，不是嗎？218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sMJbjoS5B
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAacsxBi7M
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQaygaa52U
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g9SxcHuQP
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8Mjbtsoh0
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7I6XOOktA
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsG37Wgglx
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN4agsKNnz
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRrHSZVJWi
