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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6UcP1tjg2
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZItByEmI0T
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIgjGLSSNJ
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf8PIoJnwx
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64PxLrxumh
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTLybQ98RC
「漪洀，許久不見了，快坐下吧。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFF8rzugBj
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTnwvDyGhU
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnURKkg88s
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtmhNRgBSt
我默默地頷首致意，坐在他對面的座位上。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq9JedMcKR
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51B1aB7Rrq
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgZN9R0FwT
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzttJ80hXKl
「來到這了，先喝杯茶暖暖身吧。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1ivlg5jF9
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqC88bPSlq
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjmraGEtj9
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ604ppH4ABe
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrdpXcqRxc
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6XFtz0Cri
「你煮的蓮心清露，已經跟清波姨的不相上下了呢。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQF3qeyu3c
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0Ofy090R7
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……」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI63D2o5Oc
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnfCIk63fJ
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR07WEcH9J
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qcA5znFo0
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOacE2gaLJ
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxgc5XQm0o
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1sY42MEZ7
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOClwVn7SR2
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAnxUkgw6R
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXrYMsE01a
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3swK6ZWRf9
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIqTGQqiio
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……389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe2kD9X4yr
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTktHOTWBQN
「漪洀，如今你過得好嗎？舟夫的工作應該很操勞吧。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9Bf2rwMj4
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeFm2jq7ob
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……」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHukfgVfpDr
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2epl7aJ1Ls
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk4rhPeDo8
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqGIE7eeRC
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6Rqgwknbx
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9xPqlXn8W
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……？389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmIBDuCHV1
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzL5mtoH8J
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiwH09FM3g
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8anS7g8Nb
「是嗎，你覺得好就好了。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVL32LGfB1
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUQyV2RRI6
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1fJZUGrd0
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekynKjYHcR
「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。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUcGrhpPOH
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj0FghT9En
「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。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkKu75rJ0F
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPL2LkWZSN
「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……」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0zy7bs1PG
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCZg898XYw
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389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddnkUFb0pV
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1V45uPMwy
「那些，已是好久好久以前的往事了。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7fDxVCdgC
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmyKfLTpZb
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1CyKcOhtb
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAa4CnCTf6
「是啊，你說得對。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCrkIAsy2B
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr6gh8ibqp
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzT0Ec5xDB
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenKrLLYlsp
那一刻，一道細微漣漪，在我死寂已久的心湖悄悄擴大。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtpN9RNSx5
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qRXyVsfD4
「漪洀，我有件事想拜託你。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQGRyZ4QZp
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6ctC51bWG
「什麼事，先說吧。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOKubeOmhv
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAKqH3ffTA
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW9i6sbEYE
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliJWJDoESg
「我想拜託你，在我離開這裡之後，替我照顧涓兒。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE09YLfGsni
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTzTqTebGM
如同一道猛雷直劈我的腦袋，我愣了半晌說不出話。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWHpVBrKmd
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoepZCMHawl
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？」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3beMLvcPDp
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs82vPAWezv
「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。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRcJtEzLz1
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvEX7PqXZ9
「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。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqEYGb5dDE
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6EVVFImtM
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……389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQZzSGwHpz
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7JfDhCPuO
「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。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9sq9EUO1a
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURrJf4Brny
「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。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjZGWL2uGA
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg8JJcdXpd
「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。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MQWOq7GO4
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IAVTkI1ja
「這是我對你，最後的請求……」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYUswNuZqe
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0gF6MCOmf
清漣極為哀戚地低聲懇求，坦露出最真實的軟弱及無奈。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCsy4bt91U
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIt4BrkLCI
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？」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcKsXMv8E0
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XzGjWhfsB
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwqg9Ujo0E
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUugWMZ34UJ
「我知道我對你有所虧欠，但你忍心涓兒受苦嗎？」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYVVIwDxQt
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J2G8be861
「這話什麼意思？」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXLTnjjwnB
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkYfMgBAKc
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHv7UHUQFD
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwE51G7qZM
「我明白的，漪洀，其實你對涓兒，是有情的吧……」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntc2Ywi5ZR
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21A3q6OBwy
伴隨這句話朝我襲來的洶湧激流，將我整個人徹底吞沒。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr8Gp3LO5b
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHmHq1VDKA
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？」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJeu84qcG5
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4ys6W43qE
「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。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoObFIQnsdf
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AkcMmVY0D
「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。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb2dQtBn61
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUW7Cwz3BZ
「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。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrTIq0Ucjh
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIQ5QJuCbf
「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……」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8t7Qkq2Nc
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpg8jIP4SZ
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWjPgR04o4
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme5T2HXqt8
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2tuayEZS8
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8ll9P6lrC
「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……」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAJtjVAXeF
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50bAjNm11x
「不，清漣，你始終什麼都不明白。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zqIohUNbT
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW85O7xPAtJ
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA6jcYn98b
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kXAWcQPKF
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……389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOADx3hFVDC
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIOPrHCFpR
但，一切都只是空想。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEROt3Vdz4R
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q0HcsLbFY
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkqMk1dlp1
