時晝的指尖猛地一顫,素白的衣袖被山風吹得翻飛。
他當然記得——45Please respect copyright.PENANAtcpnGdNlxV
當年親手送走言楚時,那片本該隨主人消散的護心鱗,卻奇蹟般地留了下來,數百年來始終靜靜守護在後頸,彷彿某個倔強的靈魂執意不肯離去。45Please respect copyright.PENANAmF80wS3APm
「記得。」45Please respect copyright.PENANAt2XLNnP56O
他輕聲應答,嗓音比竹葉摩擦還要輕。45Please respect copyright.PENANARJZIiEtH0D
文鳶忽然勾唇一笑,袖中突然飛出個玄鐵籠匣,在半空「咔嗒」解開封印。一條通體漆黑的小蛇從中竄出,慌亂地盤繞在文鳶腕間,猩紅的蛇信急促吞吐。45Please respect copyright.PENANAAlBpnccXG6
「昨日遇見這小傢伙正被幾個魔族抓去煉藥。」45Please respect copyright.PENANABf6oT81aLG
紅衣魔尊惡劣地用指尖戳了戳小黑蛇的腦袋,看著牠驚慌地縮成一團。45Please respect copyright.PENANAjjK7MsOuVm
「想著魔宮養不得這般嬌氣的活物,不如送來給莊主試藥?」45Please respect copyright.PENANAv819atRrte
時晝的瞳孔微微擴大——
「……別嚇牠。」45Please respect copyright.PENANAwVkGKb9NON
他倏地伸手,小黑蛇竟似有所感,「嗖」地從文鳶腕間竄出,順著時晝的指尖纏上手腕,冰涼的鱗片貼著脈搏,彷彿找到了歸處。45Please respect copyright.PENANA7CCTt4zQ9R
文鳶看著莊主瞬間柔化的眉眼,紅袖一甩轉身便走:「本座忙得很,這麻煩精就交給您了。」45Please respect copyright.PENANA0O3MKmXFhe
待那抹紅色消失在山徑盡頭,時晝才低頭輕撫蛇首。小黑蛇仰頭,豎瞳裡映著他微顫的睫毛——
時晝將小黑蛇喚作「言寧」——
那偶爾發出的「嘶嘶」聲,總讓他想起某個早已刻進骨血裡的人。45Please respect copyright.PENANAT5KAX9kyjg
「以後就叫你寧兒。」45Please respect copyright.PENANAIms1CBQ9ug
他輕撫蛇首,指尖描過那枚淡金紋路,聲音比落在竹葉上的月光還輕。45Please respect copyright.PENANA2RMMgZogrl
「要寡言,寧靜,再吐信本莊主會睡不著的。」45Please respect copyright.PENANAqf3SFfzMc5
小蛇竟似聽懂了,豎瞳靜靜望著他,從此不再隨意吐信嘶鳴。時晝煉藥時,牠便盤在硯臺邊;用膳時,就蜷在碗沿;夜裡入睡,必定要鑽進他衣襟貼著心口,鱗片隨著呼吸緩緩起伏。45Please respect copyright.PENANAW7DOTG2IO3
直到某個晨露未晞的黎明——45Please respect copyright.PENANAmQwbzVLkpb
時晝忽覺懷中一沉。45Please respect copyright.PENANAkGspTg0f4l
他警覺地睜眼,手中已捏住三根銀針,卻見一名黑髮少年正趴在自己胸前,指尖還戳著他的臉頰。45Please respect copyright.PENANAFNV7es8Zn5
「誰?」45Please respect copyright.PENANAlX0EJ8YVwY
少年抬頭,露出一雙鎏金豎瞳,額間金紋如火焰燃燒。見時晝醒了,他慌張地想說話,卻只擠出幾個破碎的音節:45Please respect copyright.PENANArDsGTBAgaK
「嘶……嗚……娘、親……」45Please respect copyright.PENANAet1MLn4vbv
不會說人話的小蛇妖急得眼眶發紅,本能地往他懷裡鑽,彷彿這樣就能變回蛇形。時晝怔了怔,忽然笑出聲——45Please respect copyright.PENANA04ZPFJtttQ
原來這孩子,一直把他當作娘親。45Please respect copyright.PENANA47Hgtntvy0
他伸手揉了揉少年亂翹的黑髮,髮絲竟如蛇鱗般冰涼順滑。45Please respect copyright.PENANAryYryuzFvX
「寧兒。」45Please respect copyright.PENANAmuaYW600Mt
少年猛地抬頭,金瞳亮得驚人。45Please respect copyright.PENANAmcA2AqPVOw
時晝取來外袍裹住他赤裸的身子,指尖點在對方喉間,渡去一縷靈力:「叫『師父』。」45Please respect copyright.PENANA1oDsXGItDU
少年張了張嘴,突然撲進他懷裡,臉頰貼著他心口蹭了蹭:45Please respect copyright.PENANAkdxNDhMk4g
「……晝、晝。」
正微微發著光。45Please respect copyright.PENANAxoO3grCoAF
「阿晝。」
少年忽然仰頭,鎏金色的豎瞳清澈見底,竟流利地喚出這個藏在時晝心底千年的稱呼。45Please respect copyright.PENANAGqSOnF0LD5
時晝指尖一顫,捏了捏眉心。45Please respect copyright.PENANAWBZqWL7j11
「沒大沒小……」45Please respect copyright.PENANA2U6GLpkZeH
他語氣無奈,卻掩不住唇角微揚的弧度。少年困惑地歪頭,黑髮從肩頭滑落,露出額間那枚愈發鮮明的金紋。45Please respect copyright.PENANAnY20RKMWVx
「師父。」時晝單手撐著頭,另一手點了點少年的眉心,「要叫『師父』。」45Please respect copyright.PENANASPCDWRHLiR
少年眨了眨眼,突然伸手抓住他的袖角,像幼蛇纏繞樹枝般,將那截素白布料捲在指間把玩。時晝垂眸望著他,恍惚間竟與記憶重疊——45Please respect copyright.PENANAXPDzli1gZp
那日松竹山莊,不過五百歲修為的魔修強破結界,到他寢宮門口求藥。
『上次的藥方啊……治得了身,治不了心~』
當年那雙倔強的金瞳,與眼前這雙澄澈的眼睛,漸漸重合在一起。45Please respect copyright.PENANAu7jrMrQ2tM
「呵……斷不能成為那般輕浮模樣。」45Please respect copyright.PENANAwdLqnmMEdW
時晝忽然低笑出聲,指尖捲起少年一縷黑髮。髮絲冰涼如昔,卻比蛇形時更添幾分生氣。45Please respect copyright.PENANA5a9osv0cmJ
「明日,教你識字。」45Please respect copyright.PENANAA3nsmk7kP6
他隨手取來案上《本草經》,書頁間還夾著片枯黃的竹葉——那是當年言楚偷塞進藥典裡的,葉脈上歪歪扭扭刻著「阿晝」二字。45Please respect copyright.PENANAjZMue3Tdoc
少年好奇地伸手去摸,卻被時晝輕巧避開。45Please respect copyright.PENANANDlNWBfyey
「先學這個。」45Please respect copyright.PENANAM45eS8zAed
他執起少年的手,在掌心一筆一劃寫下「言寧」二字。少年癢得直縮手,卻在看清那兩個字時突然安靜下來,鎏金瞳仁微微擴大——45Please respect copyright.PENANAgN5dJj66BQ
彷彿某個沉睡已久的靈魂,正在識海深處輕輕顫動。45Please respect copyright.PENANALBosGP3CwE
窗外,一陣山風拂過竹海,沙沙聲中混著少年生澀的模仿:45Please respect copyright.PENANAE3nrPilmpE
「師……父。」45Please respect copyright.PENANAr5LcdDPJ2p
時晝笑著應了聲,將他髮間沾到的晨露輕輕拭去。
