天色已黑，月光淺淺的灑在車隊上，眾奴隸們打著盹，但搖晃總是使他們驚醒。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsCAlvSm6A
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXUuZmi6rm
孟言猜測快到了，因為這種非法交易當然要趁晚將商品運送至屋裡，而現在還在趕路，代表目的地近了。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG2zTBxzuC
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmwpcy9OGt
透過少許火把上的焰光，他看著大家和坐在身邊的阿嬤。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGrdMbJNOn
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcMueTb6lg
「阿嬤，撐得住嗎？」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP924yCY1R
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHmgftKVPw
「可以啦……我還很健壯。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5mLvjcEZp
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevKUIVnUGI
「嗯……」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmndTRvPI9
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvXcoxUn6U
在漫長的等待下，孟言看到了城鎮！沒多久，大家就被悄悄送進了一間大倉庫裡，各自找個位置，準備睡個好覺。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10hfMtsFQg
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqGRww3X2H
「要睡就趕快睡吧！別太吵！還有一個時辰就要上工了。」部下說完便關上門，留下黑暗的空間。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQLshg7yAV
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8gBhp7981
大家各自躺下，認命的睡了。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngbaz3Azmv
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09reqQyoVj
「這裡是哪裡呀……」孟言喃喃自語。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevCOEUGnYL
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbIfTUhNjp
「不知道……」阿嬤有些擔心這都是一場騙局，會不會明天又要被賣到其他地方。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLpM4DAxwV
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSMtIlWyXx
「這裡是謝家的大宅……」角落裡傳來了一個聲音。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNvopD1gu7
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgjJBiDEAb
「誰啊……？」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7Ljwzjmp5
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaRK4d0Bc9
「你們的前輩，快睡吧……要聊明天有的是時間。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINkgmYHHuN
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbjXEX3ITp
聽了這樣的建議，兩人就這樣睡了。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCGxSI4ZvW
＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ2YesiP5R
「起床啦！」一個魁武的男子闖了進來，踢醒每位奴隸，而老練的則俐落的閃過。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzFdC5HBTh
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE06WiGkRQ
於是這樣開始工作了。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeORJZ9aeft
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGD0h4xqCK
經過許多過程，孟言得知了工作內容，原來是要幫廣大的茶園抓蟲，山坡上都是無盡的茶樹，隨手一摘都是蟲，雖然勞累，不過聽說很賺，但賺的也是這宅子的主人，跟勞累的奴隸們完全沾不上邊。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bpaL0fLAL
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy63twqZRXu
在許多工作交雜下，他經過了許多地方，全都不出這宅子，可見這戶人家有多麼的富有，而田裡的奴隸像螞蟻般穿梭抓著植物上頭的蟲，抓不盡。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6XngLjRLi
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoG6nP97GD
孟言找到了那位前輩「前輩，為何你們人這麼少？」放眼望去大部分都是剛上工的新奴隸。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTp2BCBTY4
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI7nPDiiWB
「因為前些陣子，一群奴隸集體自殺了。」簡短的回答。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNorB73hXcn
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9IzcEB9rY
他馬上瞭解到為何要買這麼多奴隸回來了。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwsCgGAkNi
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HmKW1aFnj
孟言望著彎著腰的阿嬤，有點後悔淌這個渾水。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yL8bqdhMp
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiynLgtL25B
「阿孟仔，沒有甚麼好後悔的，阿嬤很行的，而且你做得很好，救了一個無辜的生命。」阿嬤看出孫子心裡所想的事，經過身旁時摸了摸他的頭，笑著說著。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f5nFPCtAq
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtishSQxILx
這讓他心裡好受了些。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyJFQaLA3g
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6kBUGsEXJ
這工作簡單，卻很勞累，每一天這樣持續下來，孟言看起來更消瘦了。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr761vLkGe8
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR5VSbvOl4
忙碌之際，他向前輩請教了很多問題，整理出一些事情來。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MaLSxCJL5
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkWr10Li7M
這宅子是謝家的，而陳二爺好像是跟謝大爺有什麼特殊的關係，並沒有血緣上的聯繫。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghVMh4pAUl
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3eJHVBIq4
而謝家是這城鎮裡的大戶，許多方面的經濟都被他們佔有，總而言之就是地下界的王者。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEPFClySvq
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTXbgIc2hp
孟言他們這群人，就是這王國下的卑賤之物。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKs7RPEBUo
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4WbdBCJNA
新的生活就這樣展開了，不算好，但對他而言也不算太壞，每天三餐都有得吃，可以安心的睡覺，這樣的生活跟過去比起來好太多了。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccFDcCkOof
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnSDUYIeby
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlrpkMuUpM
有一天，在一個不太晴朗的下午，孟言被喚去提水，於是就提著三個水桶走向田地與宅子所分界的小溪邊，肩上扛著兩桶，手裡拿著一桶。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYTaGDyykG
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVZe2DISNW
這不是他第一次做這工作，不算輕鬆，但也沒甚麼好抱怨的。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCtWtyLkp9
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzfO53vfcj
這裡有許多花花草草，可以說是工作場所最漂亮的地方了，裝著裝著，不自覺的望著對岸的大宅子，想著裡頭的奢華生活到底可以多奢華？45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18Wvalrfyh
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiR2wMy1Y2
忽然，一顆球從宅子裡飛了出來，落到溪裡。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0vv6PuOTR
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8f0NX8ARR
這溪流緩慢，球只是被卡在石頭上無法動彈，孟言靜靜看著，因為上頭有命令說：不准跨過河界！雖然這只是條小溪……45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZJXbscGfh
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMQyCQ8gKP
沒多久，一個小女孩有點喘的跑了出來，看了他一眼，逕自踩在石頭上，試著不弄濕鞋子去撿球。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxRRJEQTzr
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXld5Zoawnr
大概她也有類似『不要跟奴隸講話』的制約吧？45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f4opNtMP4
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDwEEnKjco
孟言有些擔心的看著這女孩，看起來跟自己差不多大，一身漂亮衣裳，看得出嬌生慣養的。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNekZIdRYk4
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquQuavtHtX
她緊張的一步一步朝球靠近，搖搖欲墜，看起來很危險。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTBHR2ys6R
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIg0vRw5MY
就在要碰到球的時候，不出所料，女孩跌倒了，正確來說是滑倒，栽落至水裡，水花濺起，而球也因此開始漂動。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UBVHVx3yc
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0ZPBCB1qY
原本不想多事，打算就這樣離開，但孟言發現了異樣。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zRAppZhfc
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgsBBK1l2u
也許是嗆到水，女孩拼命喘著氣，坐在水裡狼狽的不斷過度呼吸，一副快要死的樣子。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUZGeSuSOS
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFZz5sr2wi
孟言知道這是什麼，以前的鄰居也有這症狀，這是『氣喘』！45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYirymzPhY8
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFmAC4r7hu
「妳還可以嗎！？」他緊張了，忍不住問了一聲。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOQnrOcJ9l
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACgpj1eg9E
女孩只是難受的搖搖頭。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPo5EiWDxs
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKqhwoleW2
想要幫忙，卻不能過河，於是孟言開始朝宅子裡呼救，但都沒什麼反應，最後，他顧不了那麼多了，迅速的踏過溪，身上的書掉了出來，但來不及管這個，他將快漂走的球撿了起來，隨手撿個尖銳的石子將它刺破，遞給這個女孩。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvwfgNIgH0
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDhkKijqVv
她馬上知道這男孩的意思，於是接過這破掉的球，當作袋子般使用，用它罩住口鼻不斷的呼吸……深呼吸……45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPqKwPkDuI
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAC2Gl5TnU
孟言靜靜的看著渾身濕透的女孩，呼吸愈趨平緩他就愈放心，沒多久就有兩個侍女跑來了。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayPgNgSQAk
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7xrhhCCGZ
「小姐！有沒有怎樣？發生什麼事了！？」一名較有年紀的侍女緊張的問著。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYsJHyDVbR
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cewg7H8MQ
看女孩沒什麼力氣回答，孟言就說了「她剛剛氣喘發作了……」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRvce1Vusd
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HuRYzcwwt
「你這奴隸！還不快滾回去！一定是你嚇到她了！滾！」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UXJNSC0XB
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OUotevr0n
「……」這是他第一次討厭自己的身份，但也只能準備起身離開。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD1jJcLD5p
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzogWRp1dVm
此時孟言感到有個微弱的力量拉住了他，是那女孩拉住了他衣服的下襬。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gPrjsrQMX
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvwxHulKvW
但兩名侍女並沒有注意到，只是自顧自的爭吵著。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1XzJL67im
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b7qK50YB5
「妳怎麼沒有陪在小姐的身邊！？」年紀較大的侍女責備著另一位看起來較年輕的。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUPEozz78X
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYnzP87mL1
「她……她不讓我陪……」面對這嚴厲的指責，她只是哀怨的反駁。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAua19yb9SG
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2uJO6Gydb
「她不讓妳陪妳就不陪呀！？那她要妳吃大便妳要不要吃？這工作給妳是做什麼的？就是要妳隨時注意小姐的身體狀況呀！真是……」一直罵著。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASoLdnmVZN
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD32i72CUI
罵著罵著，她們便準備要帶女孩離開。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8gqIWlgeh
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO1QgY3KA9
「好了，小姐趕快起來吧！去把自己弄乾換個衣服！」老侍女伸手去拉倒在水裡的小女孩。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73kWUbYBT3
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3YQMekIHP
女孩將她的手揮開。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vK3UqgqU1
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRhl5aVghZ
「妳！小姐！快起來呀！會感冒的！」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITc4AtlJk9
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzrueJm9eO
「我……我不要。」呼吸總算恢復順暢，斷斷續續的開口。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQXbbLHGVd
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5Hk67e5ok
「小姐，算我求妳了，妳若感冒了我會很慘的呀……」年輕的侍女苦苦哀求。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIRwSaYsHX
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEWwgCGfwA
「我不要……我不要妳陪我。」女孩嬌聲的說著。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUqqTcXVbC
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gmWXTLcto
「好！好！我們等等馬上幫妳換個侍女！趕快起來吧！」老侍女緊張的說著。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOI2Awahek
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojxvBcJWFa
「不是！我要他陪我！」抓著孟言的手晃呀晃的，讓這兩名侍女注意到了那衣服的下襬被女孩緊緊的抓著「如果你們不答應我就不起來！」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaHIp9UuPb
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNL9ZuqijY
面對這樣的威脅，她們傻眼了。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCkN11JgK2
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7oEtZL89j
「怎、怎麼可以！小姐，他可是……可是低賤的奴隸呀！」老侍女已經急得跳腳了。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlraCp0CwBO
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtyLPtccoR
「我不管！」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOag38suKV
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY5JbFEo1N
她們就這樣盧著，持續了好一段時間，孟言只是無言的看著，不太清楚發生了甚麼事，身為奴隸的自己又不太敢吭聲，只好任他們這樣吵，而好奇提個水怎麼這麼久的前輩前來觀看也被嚇了一大跳，只好默默的自己將那三桶水提回去。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcniKaN3Rq
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyY7jpHRER
「我就是要他陪我！他剛剛救了我！我要他陪我玩！我不要無聊的侍女！」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdEI5uiex8
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lNqHdImlZ
「小姐……」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhPiPBrwc0
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i2AtRy83A
「小姐不要鬧好不好……？」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ppU6Re7Ft
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB6h6H6Mb2
「我不管！我不管！」鬧著脾氣，女孩不斷踢著水，濺了不少水花在侍女身上。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoOskbWtAY
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaySjkm7tM
「好了！好了！我答應妳！好不好？趕快起來！」也許是坳不過了，老侍女總算答應。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4hJbOFLlz
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtVGP2bBXu
聽著，女孩開心的起身，抓著孟言準備上岸。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlHW0T0DEv
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt6kOJizSi
「怎麼！？怎麼可以！那我怎麼辦？」年輕侍女也急了。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ua4Zr2k3Z
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKJJy14NkL
「放心，照顧小姐的事還是妳做，這小子只負責陪她，但不准進她的房間，而且你也要負責指導這小子一些事宜。」老侍女穩重的說著。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFp62ZGR3I
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmurqkonFM
另一位侍女聽了鬆一口氣。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVZn1KnCSL
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPJ8kMwAlF
女孩被拉上岸後，孟言被抓著的衣角突然被扯下「小子，算你走運，不然你很可能要被打五十大板的！明天！你明天再來找我們，我們會安排你新的住所，回去打包打包吧！」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTv1aGtx05
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0LDhh3BAf
還在驚嚇中的孟言，一回過神，便馬上拔腿奔回茶園去了。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV294MD7OOO
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiElvPgGfaj
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3h3ZgMSsP
『這是真的嗎？』這晚，孟言坐在自己的床褥上想著。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObwGs2sEmy
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5kBZMhlSK
這消息已經傳開了，他的阿嬤並沒有因此難過，反而很開心，比平常多抓了三十隻蟲子。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFYKLS71kB
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uFgdXP29C
但想到阿嬤，孟言反而難過了，畢竟要把她一個人孤身的丟在這裡，很擔心那號稱健壯的身子能撐多久……45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnb5gfwvPf
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGkmhUaEDq
「小子，還沒睡？」前輩問著。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82wglENfwM
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJXFCm9INg
「睡不著。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZAVdI2Yvg
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCHItlXcos
「……小子，你知道嗎？我很羨慕你，為了沾你的運，我決定我要搶走妳照顧阿嬤的特權，現在你一無所有了，所以也沒甚麼好煩惱的，趕快睡吧！明天你的工作我也搶去了，放心的去吧！」說著，前輩便倒頭睡去。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrQ9ybmqjb
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Eov1yKIne
孟言感動的看著他，不知道該謝什麼，所以也只好睡了……45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSOKCsLwSl
＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49UIaq4crW
陽光普照，孟言將行李放在新的住處後便跟著那位侍女學著許多東西，不久便得知了自己的身分從『奴隸』躍升為『奴僕』，要學的東西不多，只是要會一些禮節，還要懂得把自己打扮的體面，除此之外沒什麼困難，只要小姐一發病就馬上通知他們並且進行急救。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMeau19GVs
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP7tPBAVex
今天的孟言，相當的不孟言！45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KhudQCS1O
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvs2MY4Wsy
他坐在一個大庭院旁的小石階上，等著小姐，聽侍女說，下午小姐只要讀完該讀的書便會到這玩耍，到時只要乖乖陪她便是。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDa32XOqIp
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqpg6gfJad
但這段時間若有什麼差錯，就是他的責任。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglsAithxls
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyM9f5kGLc
在等待期間有時會有其他侍女經過，看著他都會交頭接耳的不知道說著什麼，想必是貶低的話吧！45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcsGVM7b9D
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazO9qrrtif
無聊！於是孟言拿出了書來讀……45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeBtRRNKhN
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQrgG8gnZX
「咦！對吼！」他想起了那書早在昨天掉進水裡了，墨都糊掉了……反正也找不到。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK8b14l4K3
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxRfDGkIW1
所以他只能默默的看著在庭院裡跳來跳去的麻雀發呆。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXZgfYoDcs
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZXI1KsqEj
『噠！噠！噠！噠！』腳步聲朝這走來。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8aBLtNMY0
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQlTAKACEH
孟言看去，是那個小女孩，她抱著新的球，有點害羞的從不知名的地方過來。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2czObfSwVX
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF63YBLa56
「妳好。」孟言其實是第一次跟女孩子相處，有點緊張。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRUVxiYujt
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzRBMtudTT
『不知道把她當成男孩子來相處好不好？』想到這裡，又發現自己也沒交過什麼男性朋友，從小到大真正相處的只有阿嬤而已，因此，他又更緊張了。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65tQeOXtor
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWAdHpHDIb
「你是對面那邊的人嗎？」女孩突然提出這個問題。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeefWoQOCH
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHVHUBSvsN
「嗯？」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85sdYWl8Q3
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzibaiVq24X
「河對面……」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv8cwlSPpS
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlmW16zLHT
「嗯、嗯，對呀。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgaKWOFouu
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpkAqw8wWs
「為什麼？」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWWhWFQ4X7
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ePDOUsygU
「啊？」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu8VEEMFBb
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYer3hZcQ3
「為什麼會在那裡？」沒想到這女孩沒有看起來的怕生。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RsrGDOfIn
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48TXxPXPEU
「因為在那裡工作。」知道這一點後，回答起來就沒那麼緊繃了。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3FRQ62O4G
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzr6Zm7ZhS
「為什麼大家都討厭你們？」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc6KCfxm0C
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX0g0PJGFP
「因為我們工作都會髒兮兮的，他們喜歡乾淨。」孟言有點尷尬。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEFc4cmrE8
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH0zR2ISuW
「他們好無聊喔！」女孩在他身邊坐下。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwzHAdwuIu
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmxunw7bPA
「嗯……」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgtWYFvow9
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ8x8misCm
「你知道嗎！這裡全部都是大人耶！那個謝阿斗每次書都不認真讀，害我都要一個人來這裡玩！他超討厭的，我不喜歡跟他玩！」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcvd6wGzAc
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0qT7RflSh
「謝……阿斗？」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64JSHzhlvK
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o83BqjOhI
「他並不是真的叫阿斗，但他真的好笨喔！比阿斗還笨！哈哈哈哈……」說著這個人的壞話，女孩開心的笑著，那是銀鈴般的笑聲，聽起來相當舒服。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcpKu0bopU
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkrUIWPDVb
「嗯……」不知該回應什麼，所以隨便帶過。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zKB7vrfQt
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5t7f6iKE9
「你多大呀？」那明眸的雙眼打量著。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx15qbmC1zp
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpISX6g71Fs
「……十歲。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzOzHgPOeG
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymqAuMbTqI
「大我兩歲！你看起來跟我差不多耶！」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwFvtC1hiU
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcYckGdKqT
也許是吃不好的關係，孟言的身形以他的年紀來說的確小了點。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGN8s5eyeE
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOmLU4jfur
「那你叫什麼名字？」雙手擺弄著球。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJTEg2qb9n
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjuJZ9rcZa
「簡……我姓簡，名孟言。」如果陪這女孩只是要一直回答問題的話，孟言有點放心。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK16rgjHuY
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmAQBPEaxk
「我叫陳千惠。」女孩的禮數似乎比他還要糟糕。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnMtF79RsJ
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWAyPOn03D
陳千惠……姓陳？45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1rHCjo3gW
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkCoJLJY76
「妳不是這家的大小姐嗎？」他記得這宅子是謝家的，如果消息來源沒錯的話。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9LNJ6NW6F
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn0PSwxleM
「不是呀！」回答得理所當然。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6emhsGC7Y5
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvO1Vt3NTT
「那妳是……嗯……？」孟言看著千惠身上華麗的服飾以及嬌滴滴的臉蛋。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG4Ny2b3Mp
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WUhLhElHf
「嗯……我也不太清楚，我只知道有時大肥仔會稱我為『童養媳(註一)』。」面對這有點複雜的問題，以這年紀來說只能說到這樣了。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB9H3HgtQX
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nnXCj7JE6

「你剛剛在這都在做什麼？」女孩靠了過來，好奇的問著。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK6pdsNRRk
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhVEWxNToY
「嗯……沒做什麼。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVkjgasiVY
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuV8JgmvvC
「不會無聊嗎？」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2NPqL8cz7
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01n3rpDYWd
「會呀。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQBfm35UrL
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGGs0IYV7O
「那為什麼不找事情做？像我都會玩球！」說著說著，又繼續把玩著球。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdddCpxYL92
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebaTehqSDI
孟言看著，笑一笑「平常我無聊是會拿書出來讀，但我的書在昨天掉進水裡了。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMj95cmvzJ
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IcX9wgbgg

一說完，千惠便把球交給他，起身衝進宅子裡了。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4L9PsAK59
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NwpRBgOL1
握著溫溫的皮球，想著昨天刺破了一顆，今天又有一顆，不愧是有錢人家。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQPR9XWRgh
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd24jqLu1W

45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zWLnkHmUI
「哇！好新喔！如果我唸完了我一定還妳！」孟言開心的接下，小心翼翼的翻著。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP47iKU2MRS
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo53IHBAy93
除了外表之外，書的內容完全一模一樣，使他相當的興奮，於是馬上想朗誦一首詞來，但突然忘記怎麼唸了！45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVeQRGzWhe
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2pvVls07N
「怎麼了？」千惠嘟著嘴問著，深怕自己拿錯了書。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGOApLmwUM
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeAf3zqRtZ
「啊！？不是……沒事，只是……」孟言感到有點丟臉。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFTUUqzQ65

45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVdfsbLvID
「痛呀！」痛的他差點跳起來了。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrk6jUn9ln

「我……忘記這些字怎麼唸了。」說好聽點是這樣。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW6949y2Tf
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA9ZYYin91
「為什麼？」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcz5YUJDG5
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bin8wtPn9
「因為……最近都在工作，忘光光了……嘿嘿嘿……」說的非常心虛。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qqbVoDx3b

雙手撐著，千惠直直的望著他，眼珠沽溜溜的轉「好！」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJR7cnYAf9
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhbMT1pQ9j
