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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCSrUXbkI3
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLruqIMMLKj
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7H9cJHQf3
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgktH10nfwX
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8V4TeeAAT
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY18hUXXpj
「漪洀，許久不見了，快坐下吧。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqAsNLkxJH
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBlPye1RDU
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgQBdykqmx
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Cf0larApm
我默默地頷首致意，坐在他對面的座位上。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQBMwkfHpJ
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGM7XgrKew
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeDeZMV58m
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRRLFn981g
「來到這了，先喝杯茶暖暖身吧。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj7klCM0js
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7BGbuCaVo
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknKYirqgS8
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9VY4SCeIW
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YxaN0zYnd
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgSYykBkwB
「你煮的蓮心清露，已經跟清波姨的不相上下了呢。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NEZ8J9lUv
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoAeeqAXxZ
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……」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxvMyyY4bK
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH1KpZFHYY
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHyVHvsLiK
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxgscAfpNP
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyGz7AILSl
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZQGZXaLJ5
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfwFhOD63b
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCKjgdfFqs
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgGsvPiKk0
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVR9zCW25p
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS6erIqJAe
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZS22babvV
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……436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflNNPRc5tS
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9TDej5gzF
「漪洀，如今你過得好嗎？舟夫的工作應該很操勞吧。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtaSSfBW1t
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAGpy5PsWk
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……」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ4CuqXdTx
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNjRwCB1Kq
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb539Gatyp
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQzAEAqtUd
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiMJZMWx4A
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXgSjTjpZ6
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……？436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K8W4rrlFe
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxz2Btojjn
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq3xZ2Mpq1
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZkUXNCdbc
「是嗎，你覺得好就好了。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstlGuhn6Q6
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5tdyJiHH6
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygY1RF7Lwm
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAekB6by5z8
「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。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8opD7zIo6
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskPa3FM9P2
「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。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9oiMjfQiZ
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHfRnVU6cf
「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……」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9ygYCgnDE
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlivzlcu3bt
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436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdGEoIgdle
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwnKl5mNWM
「那些，已是好久好久以前的往事了。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs3XvRdms6
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0nvg6cFUW
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRSINF2sr6
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHMEvlfYKn
「是啊，你說得對。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IXdTox8aL
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qf14qXyLu
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsaw0Gkc3o
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTJbQbtAwJ
那一刻，一道細微漣漪，在我死寂已久的心湖悄悄擴大。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6k3YfMlzW
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvQD17cwVA
「漪洀，我有件事想拜託你。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChBnxHaC59
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8RbQPcaPD
「什麼事，先說吧。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSztc3QicLE
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe4iYbHmMy
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl2aJGnjTR
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUGcIuqNto
「我想拜託你，在我離開這裡之後，替我照顧涓兒。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhydhZpHHcq
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedgkUzrM0V
如同一道猛雷直劈我的腦袋，我愣了半晌說不出話。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9Cfp6Wfh4
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlF8G53vpk
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？」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BuC4f2Npo
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc4X4lmKNo
「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。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v9KiU8LGk
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAUSu3U2UP
「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。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSTUmb5QET
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBqBI8EoI8
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……436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerrPJ5UmiQ
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4kt6tUa9G
「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。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW4dk1F8Gi
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQeuXZC7yZ
「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。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCSLdtLjwa
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQp2bJQc9i
「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。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3jfThgn8X
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwFKdTCk7B
「這是我對你，最後的請求……」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik6ovCWRiM
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnKGDeyTWG
清漣極為哀戚地低聲懇求，坦露出最真實的軟弱及無奈。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1nnc1567L
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqKwbVq3hA
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？」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZzSDlwdtM
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu21NgxvIz
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXYWJfbNnZ
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa7gq8tBHR
「我知道我對你有所虧欠，但你忍心涓兒受苦嗎？」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPDrSll1ZR
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHNhO4QOdb
「這話什麼意思？」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDY86MrTXV
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMsk8Cpwje
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfynnYxfaUP
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZlFExRNVE
「我明白的，漪洀，其實你對涓兒，是有情的吧……」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSrLYR4tVG
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YrpGVXJTI
伴隨這句話朝我襲來的洶湧激流，將我整個人徹底吞沒。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx11bHB5HF
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQPuALndwG
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？」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhpa3tzSyz
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTpVbOWx73
「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。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedzJ0eVM1u
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP6Nlktwnp
「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。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY9L5ZXrR4
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GXEO2bTCV
「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。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVuJhb5GyJ
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEdhNYNJeS
「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……」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UkiBKBmPY
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu7MAMiRVh
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3gZvlHyxc
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZTgGkOEkX
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5qIgzsfIK
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC3if1h0Rc
「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……」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHblbPIKfC
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS0sEwKOwJ
「不，清漣，你始終什麼都不明白。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy0IdL4EtB
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtHRxmzgP5
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZCoyTIFtZ
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcv4zzTtpU
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……436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAmcHt3Amf
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCfdZeS0yZ
但，一切都只是空想。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N8Z9x2nZH
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvPLOY9xED
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl78U1Lxk9q
