彼岸回首之約
|簡介
夢中有醒時,人皆有一死。102Please respect copyright.PENANAvZBluHVh6H
李靈初再也找不到他的二師兄,
她必須獨自在人世間活下去。
102Please respect copyright.PENANAKRINGR5HpD
102Please respect copyright.PENANAPF7cJEjARP
「二師兄,清晏哥哥。」102Please respect copyright.PENANAqpnrYeqazF
女人緩緩蹲下,把手中素花放在墓碑前。
「阿初來看你們了。」102Please respect copyright.PENANAA689IhR8lW
而話甫落地,天忽降今年初雪,飄至其指尖霎時化為泥水。李靈初凝望手上潮意,不禁對墓碑露出微笑,柔聲道:「每次見二師兄時,不是下雪就是下雨呢。」102Please respect copyright.PENANAzY8yLn0sas
彷彿在迎接她一樣。
「你和清晏哥哥好嗎?」102Please respect copyright.PENANAeb0lzH7x4R
說完,女人將傘撐起替他們遮擋風雪後,拍了拍地上塵土、鋪好滄塵千交代萬交代塞給她的保暖絨布,方才躺下拿起八卦盤運轉內力。102Please respect copyright.PENANAHiMPw0YzEJ
即使付出代價也想見到的人就再彼方。102Please respect copyright.PENANAkZxwrHoYiT
雪在李靈初身畔紛飛、迴旋落地,轉瞬間,她的一魂兩魄已離開現世。

秋陽暖和,曦嵐瞇起雙眸又閉上,後靠樹幹任憑日光灑落全身。此刻微風吹拂,枝葉與稻穗搖曳發出沙沙聲響,而衛千凝視他未開口,讓靜謐時分傾瀉於他們所在之處。102Please respect copyright.PENANADkwdtEio9a
良久,道長逆光緩緩睜開眼,輕輕開口:「我好像聽見阿初說話。」語落又闔起,恍若作夢般。102Please respect copyright.PENANArps9QB2F1P
衛千亦抬頭望向前方金黃景色,點頭應道:「今日陽光甚好。」102Please respect copyright.PENANAMVSL7yxQIX
像是阿初來看他們的每個日子般。102Please respect copyright.PENANA5gRR4ABpW6
「阿初,我們很好。」102Please respect copyright.PENANA2vV8KxAqXY
妳不用擔心…….102Please respect copyright.PENANADX2tsgnCjh
也別再耗損心神……102Please respect copyright.PENANApbdYJmBQYm
我們約好了……102Please respect copyright.PENANAW6Uwbb1wn6
活下去,不回頭……102Please respect copyright.PENANAMlSiTJsOWz
曦嵐喃喃自語,聲音愈來愈低沉,最終靜默垂首至衛千肩上陷入沉眠,天策府軍人見狀,放慢動作小心摟住身邊人,確保他能睡得更為舒適,並讓兩人的頭相互依靠。102Please respect copyright.PENANAFmuUqiKthJ
「嗯,很好。」102Please respect copyright.PENANAoKxyjMKVpQ
他說,亦緩緩閉上雙眸。

自曦嵐在戰亂中離開人世後,滄塵與李靈初這對師兄妹養成某種默契。102Please respect copyright.PENANABs7b6agorU
李靈初重要的日子會以離魂之姿前去與二師兄相見,雖然滄塵從不願前去,卻每每都會第一個迎接師妹回魂,並聽她轉述見著曦嵐之事,只是這次在滄塵循著落花得李靈初後,竟見她已坐起、眼眶被淚水浸濕。102Please respect copyright.PENANAF94lyfnbQo
「阿初?阿初?怎麼了?」102Please respect copyright.PENANAu02YXQKqA8
只是任憑滄塵詢問,李靈初都僅是搖首莫回應。102Please respect copyright.PENANA7FKIsbkXvH
自己怎麼找也沒見著二師兄,怎麼講得出口?102Please respect copyright.PENANAId9mlqAJbw
「沒事,大師兄,我沒事……」102Please respect copyright.PENANAd6nOClg5ef
只是當她嘗試想揚起嘴角,卻沒想到愈說愈無法止住哭泣,而看師妹淚水墜落,滄塵立即亂了手腳,先不知所措,隨後趕忙輕拍女人的頭慌張安慰:「別、別哭啊?沒事了,沒事了。」接著將小聲抽噎的師妹抱近懷中,如同兒時那般輕拍李靈初的背,一次又一次說道:「阿初,沒事了,大師兄在這裡。」102Please respect copyright.PENANAOt2E3tlaVY
不管發生甚麼事情,大師兄都在這裡。102Please respect copyright.PENANAJMS8o4YaAM
「大師兄在這裡,沒事了。」102Please respect copyright.PENANAobagJMyqw0
直到胸口啜泣漸緩,他才又問:「阿初,大師兄帶妳去吃糖好嗎?」說完又不情願補上:「妳那個……阿爺也在山下等妳了,走吧?」102Please respect copyright.PENANAxQj1JEVjIa
此時,李靈初終於抬起頭破涕為笑。102Please respect copyright.PENANASp9TcAlG4Q
「嗯嗯。」102Please respect copyright.PENANAvnt5QKv4lp
離去前,李靈初又再次回首,淚光模糊中似乎看見曦嵐和衛千。102Please respect copyright.PENANA6zpHYkIaUD
於彼岸對自己露出溫柔笑容。102Please respect copyright.PENANA7OZAckfdfQ

唐湘伸出皺紋漸長的掌心輕撫李靈初的頭,溫和開口:「唐某家雖非皇親國戚、達官顯貴,但阿初仍是唐某、炎郎與師兄的掌上明珠,欺負不得。」目光停在女兒微紅的眼角,他嘴角仍微微上揚,聲音卻不自覺低沉,眼神閃過警告意味。102Please respect copyright.PENANA9sOVyUBRac
「滄塵道長懂吧?」102Please respect copyright.PENANAmvAj1wApQx
懂個屁。102Please respect copyright.PENANA75xpG74hRZ
滄塵本就不喜唐湘,而正在氣頭上的他更是內心各種粗口,倒是身旁盧凡早已按奈不住,直接怒道:「是要懂個屁!你才別打擾我等師兄妹談心相處!」說完欲抽出盾刀。102Please respect copyright.PENANA3gCRcrewqr
氣氛忽地緊張,讓李靈初有些低落、險又落淚,只能搖頭拉扯唐湘衣袖小聲喚道:「阿爹……」又轉向滄塵與盧凡:「大師兄,凡哥……」102Please respect copyright.PENANAdLB6gbKKly
見女人眼眶再次盈滿淚水,本還針鋒相對的男人們馬上將注意力全都放到她身上,圍在其四周忙亂地就要出聲輕哄,沒料到去買糖回來的久炎和尤桑互望後一把將李靈初抱在懷中輕晃,問道:「阿初,怎麼了?怎麼哭了?跟阿巴和尤桑講好嗎?」102Please respect copyright.PENANA8fOjEqJKZy
接著兩人疑惑的目光掃過唐湘、滄塵、盧凡。102Please respect copyright.PENANAxl07bsuB61
「你們又幹了甚麼事?」102Please respect copyright.PENANAbdIzqrvxUi
久炎緊皺眉頭,尤桑則是無奈搖頭,伸手輕撫李靈初的頭。而三個方才劍拔弩張的人見狀,臉上即刻堆滿笑容、瞬間勾肩搭背。102Please respect copyright.PENANAMxSdK52E1d
「初兒,我們很好,沒有吵架。」102Please respect copyright.PENANAlhz40sgR3h
「阿初,走吧,剛剛大師兄說要帶妳去吃糖。」
「阿初,誰欺負妳,凡哥都幫妳揍回去!來一雙打一雙!」102Please respect copyright.PENANAQuHChMFOkh
見狀久炎頭痛嘆氣、皺紋似乎又多好幾條,還有尤桑那雙溫和憂慮注視自己的眼眸,李靈初卻終是忍不住笑出來。102Please respect copyright.PENANAPT17aSmXrP
「走吧,巴巴、阿巴。」102Please respect copyright.PENANA4p3id6U3nv
她說著,接下父親們手中的糖含在嘴裡,在眾人邊安慰中離去。102Please respect copyright.PENANAgjRrt70sfe
很甜。102Please respect copyright.PENANAfMHQHQMg3a
