他在梳化上猛然醒來。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj8GuEw3jR
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVbGoi4HsZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBMhCYKOxY
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMCx9DF0q6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ymioZXIWZ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyja47xuU2y
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbohmMlNYa
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrUeskbvXz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupcE97jQFW
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIOScgKQDT
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXy7Md1ljI
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0DKQU54xG
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgmwkuJ3gA
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtaNANEcc1
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Lb2I7sAJp
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRDz3vIpua
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo8ozHxZ1V
抵不住。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBkalyhQ5W
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc5ItlPgaa
他決定到公園散步。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqd5WSl6sk
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaPFJwW9PT
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG29OWfQKf8
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82LmpPhbF2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9ns64BDOS
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSVirL7CeV
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjzV0Qi4tq
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KGJzCbnVc
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcK0lKjeEj
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNjj9SOTGY
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMMOcYv7iD
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAMN17DRf8
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbke6Ymk2M
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW2tHVb89q
他不自已憶起亡妻……256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSF7vCbt3d
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYLazZtw0E
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uGca2xTAk
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCgUqMloe5
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCygtEH1FT
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQRtnFTKLv
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvci2Fgn2T0
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1fOrvtIws
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTztdxiKLR
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCYZah9KeF
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QEFrsGxkZ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAMYLbOaxz
「快了、快了。不用著急！」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVg69aY9hI
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVZD8GkIX5
「即是何時？」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmjYBiu9C1
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhVxJdUBD5
「下一個夏天。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIkS1zgNSf
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoqxO15LZo
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyLS5H8cFZ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwNJ4mlVOz
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvClN9bfvJ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVXBKSiRiW
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2t1Q0K7PD
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MKLWKxPup
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUsjzHRgwN
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX3pgbyTTH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrrfBRbbZM
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJABXuwK3qf
內心終於安定下來。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvYYujO6FX
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpSDeKdeSF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBiPFbmJFD
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHsQav83RM
「但你的血糖……」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaOLMC5Pks
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGYP1xRrBe
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByDPyBWnMr
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi7QrXngoK
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Axym7uqxu
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sXifm1fuX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf2DgtA5oL
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCzN9iHu8x
兒子送她一根拐杖。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNADIdOEyg4
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6YghkAtVY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpOrspVxyF
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31ihPIQ7NR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw8kTTRwXE
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBQmBv1qsm
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s9nDggEyD
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcV70FmFam
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTRNaoP7uO
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFn6c2SKnz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNCDEdtkeb
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDnlBY3vhO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxNnPXgwNs
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKUae57prj
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpsnbE8ZGq
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXMO9hGnMP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRuCTokfl5
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99gEg9qlBa
於願足矣。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN57a6aFKS
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4LcW03x8N
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMiZVAhMnd
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMYMsOl8Kz
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVolHnktfC
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDpcAH0G1R
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdPFVE0IgC
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLGFW7wSAa
總得走下去，不是嗎？256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvFtGclN9T
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAGiVvIgBX
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDAyFM192x
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoakS6FRk7t
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42JFNjPfhS
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeQkIJpys8
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWq390ZzSu
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uczQqSQs1
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1fdkoqMlw
