他在梳化上猛然醒來。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwY3HF1C8U
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQGmaTIztX
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBPcDSkEiV
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGSn9DfpnR
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY1UqfFkfw
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rUNvClDVb
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI7B1CDKT9
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqXkMHZcmB
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebraFdI8Fg
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJczGLzMsi0
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmCzC1ohZd
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsgP9ghWYQ
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf43VImw0ob
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JzuFuG8tQ
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQe93O4M69
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjP4RVVoc5
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhInaUalCKR
抵不住。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlHAdDxJmU
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkqWvwb08O
他決定到公園散步。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFgPH3cbgk
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L1Qf7fjIa
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSmz5L9mWD
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1lUWmckK2
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHLbUrhX97
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdvSI9XT5a
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA856wjA90
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALHO3s0QNX
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpmvBPD3Oe
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ3gNvTg4O
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSM0guJCaD
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIl0NRtObX
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xvukKb1RL
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6qJ4QGsYj
他不自已憶起亡妻……254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOPYSwv7PG
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd5WTayxVt
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4X4PHYM4l
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfk8OmvDkW
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8CXFH2ei1
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuxhbqnFeQ
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM4XszpYA1
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFaDgH909l
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P2K8dqWB6
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePTbBFb0AN
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmNPn5MpIv
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaP5uYce1a
「快了、快了。不用著急！」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxtagKZkW3
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLVMkZBGfh
「即是何時？」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fNAfReW2H
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW4GsQqnrx
「下一個夏天。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1fNENGNRP
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoNkjD3daE
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxytalw8hl6
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGShmSG1b6Y
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28lPiDWJoR
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTlKpfyHCz
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHogQ9pdsg
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2qyHNIEaq
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9QCVizmn1
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRmNm2gkNp
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS5G9nIsYs
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSJKMAFYv4
內心終於安定下來。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWDNJ8p7mh
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaiRaBo5Kr
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』！」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFm02mSvJi
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZt8FfdyLx
「但你的血糖……」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AVAKFOicx
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7mEUyWELe
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VgZ0RksUd
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnExxOF3bsD
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaNWIGXMzz
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3LXqQJA3Z
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OwJbDT5Wf
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0eqbJd1gZ
兒子送她一根拐杖。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajfK7pLELU
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CKbWEduIl
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8k52os6Bj
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3RLUeNvAr
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsKKuxKDFu
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfWZnGRQrw
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』！」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle9mRR1e0R
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nwkF8SxIj
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuFJYXxCzw
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8z7DthXFG
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcEQn1uG2Z
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA93x4u0GzH
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLln0LOSyRy
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNom618A4zi
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddTx9M8IZx
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52GQymRJHu
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ni429TlZu
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUHmpXwuGm
於願足矣。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRIgV07ANe
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH0gNMjLB1
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlhhkiRhbz
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXTyVFytOf
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKAaoOzRDP
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd9JOnZJl8
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uzDKtvXoG
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyfGXSzeuf
總得走下去，不是嗎？254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRH8M5IKso
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDncHmq1ytJ
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCWqoN9S5j
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKQZp399Qz
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTHJoBOQl5
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkuJOyMmp9
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr4eZvRZl9
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iGReJWCZJ
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5z2HyMDwq
