他在梳化上猛然醒來。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdHy4eUiIk
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfgQDRbPWJ
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTAUPX6TcO
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX9ZYE6jiY
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rFz6wvYtk
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNrbkoxGfl
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TZ8RyM7Xp
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcXdRWT1Oq
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0pPj57t54
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHmW8mI2Xl
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB2HL5UhQG
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGmgkM5Bum
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM7LA72iPz
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa6C6pNFUn
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yos5WnQym
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHVxcdb7Ia
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu651EWzkdo
抵不住。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rn3NDU2tB
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs4KmweS8c
他決定到公園散步。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yWmAoT5y7
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrnNnFVcM3
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cJsLJ1Zxz
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ32swhNKPr
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H8ps6tkhk
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMW3kFFs8q
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaZcYVQStE
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJcdSNlZK2
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTncm06pfd
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85MQg2Lick
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC9vDKSOpY
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ868FOHUydg
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUwsmU2HK7
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ64mCx8ir
他不自已憶起亡妻……256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxLF9jU5GK
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheVImMAPmm
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNy1jOc4GJ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53MKiy42VH
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSziMRDpEg
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBFmsJaKO9
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbRq1SASYc
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrOuCXfdDr
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAUspSPvtR
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pw2nWdYAH
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjBw46WzIm
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeelkSp8ai
「快了、快了。不用著急！」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYcXO5RNG4
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrlBs9eifP
「即是何時？」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ66EtFBQ5a
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlxGl8XCoR
「下一個夏天。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5PYf3ztFj
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhw3NdxSjx
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQDSPBPFqR
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvZxmjnZ3T
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqD3RUTdNL
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaRYkDrJBi
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gpXkjsBOm
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t7MZKazRY
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhjV29HSoQ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVzmtjdCNB
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvq8AziB2s
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lDWghYDqP
內心終於安定下來。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2UklTxNtr
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNQw0INx9v
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』！」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8odJMWVMY
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEnzTyKRyc
「但你的血糖……」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m2Lw6WxG7
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u0HYWoTd1
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxRkI0WvIi
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXN4oqM2b7
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Am41IrhFn
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi6YuMZVQ7
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC95rDXHz4m
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWTeFVaLlP
兒子送她一根拐杖。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZsQAVHFlU
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm6HQ5pOf4
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaxj7d4Q9B
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HMsonBla1
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQmfiSpLSh
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6spL0Qbdqv
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』！」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprYu6YEtbO
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjOkC5AgGM
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYNyjzZLmM
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSfPewYkaH
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUerSUreXwM
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs3VNQKVsX
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0A0C0m4cJ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8h7Pn8kGN
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUuWwXoHx6
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwL56Df6eQ
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。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKag6BeNLkq
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpffHaPmC3m
於願足矣。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUsL9W6kKM
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRXd6T6VgY
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmuSsHm01O
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnwrZHLF1y
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oU9E6vAdy
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdeDFzFmjb
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKRm6w77A4
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttxekmNfMs
總得走下去，不是嗎？256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtLNycczBj
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJYy4M9ah6
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr6LPhzCD6
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A466J2W5M
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRk5JyOKXf
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB2ewhzAK2
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJoQElF0Br
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRstVbv1In
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnFIiPha8t
