穿過一片蓊鬱樹林，途經一片交錯著野花與灌木的原野，沿著小溪向上走，便可抵達丘陵上的一個小洞穴。洞穴不深，直徑與深度約莫一阿爾雷，是個可以遮風避雨、在陽光普照的溫暖季節裡打個小盹的地方。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfRkCJtFtA
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x9iqlrDDv
是艾依查庫發現這個被層層樹影所掩蓋的洞穴的。在一次如往常的探險中，艾伯李斯特與艾依查庫因為一時興起，而沿著林中的溪流向上行走；沿途的陌生風景在兩人眼中看來都是驚奇而有趣的新世界，以致於當沉溺於四周景致的兩人回神時，天空已經染上淺淺的橙色，腳下的影子也拉得微長。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYOB2ycUxR
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCqG0REtmG
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcZiKPiGwQ
「好像該回去了，我們走得有點遠。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHgzNVpeiH
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPNtyrLxQX
「啊，已經這麼晚了……」艾依查庫探頭看了下艾伯李斯特手腕上的錶，「但是前面好像就是盡頭了，難得來到這裡，不然我們走過那棵樹之後再折回頭？」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd5g7WoMZk
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVzvIiW5XM
「好啊。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYEvPRjXDM
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq6mU1yaka
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJt4UOdAVM
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY19R4nnP9l
艾伯李斯特沒有異議，於是兩人沿著裸露在地表外的樹根與穿透樹葉的陽光繼續向前，在走出樹蔭的剎那看見世界的另一個角落。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX556nkMAg
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vowL4Fo54
他們幾乎俯瞰了整座城鎮。房屋沿著道路羅列在田野間，遠處建築密集的地方則是因為距離的關係而灰暗一片，鳥兒成群飛翔在雲彩之間、漸行漸遠。艾伯李斯特被眼前的風景所震懾住，還無法離開自己的目光，就被身後早一步回神的艾依查庫急切地叫喚──每當艾依查庫發現什麼好東西時，總是會用這樣的語氣呼喚艾伯李斯特。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sNZ2wiGtG
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhxwa8kyJO
於是他們意外地擁有了一個不太秘密的秘密基地。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsojwimk7K
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBin6gaLIS
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcXN82kQeI
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9cVWxdxls
艾伯李斯特與艾依查庫從沒想過要隱瞞這個地方，一方面也是因為兩個人不曉得該如何描述這個地點。經過幾次折返與來回奔波，艾伯李斯特逐步修正了到達這個洞穴的最短路徑；但是對艾依查庫來說，他還是最喜歡一開始沿著小溪流往上走的那條路，即使那是所需時間較長的路徑。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14SpwCbYeg
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32JIHjHXDM
經過幾個春夏秋冬，兩人累積待在這個秘密基地的時間越來越長，囤積在洞穴裡的物品不斷消長，儼然成為艾伯李斯特與艾依查庫共有的、且不為人知的空間。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnekyYCTvXp
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9WqGfU5Nb
在不知道第幾個春天來臨時，踏進洞穴內的兩人發現了一位不速之客──幾聲清脆鳥囀讓毫無防備的艾依查庫瞬間驚跳起來。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7Rnwie2Qc
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaEbm56Zoc
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1kGCefli7
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHytIdZjmHK
「什麼東西！」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mSnNl3uVM
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvGM8oZ4if
「鳥叫聲？」艾伯李斯特走近一瞧，發現的確是一隻幼鳥正躺在地上。「嘿，沒事啦，只是隻鳥。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXYHApUS66
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzGKZVqImF
「鳥？怎麼會在這裡？」艾依查庫靠近艾伯李斯特的身影，「是小鳥？」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamWiTmIdcJ
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY01kyDXjao
「嗯，不過羽毛都長得差不多了。會不會是在學飛，然後不小心掉下來了？」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiRwIIOdAu
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxsg5GiwXI
「牠有受傷嗎？」艾依查庫蹲低，伸出手指戳了幾下小鳥翅膀上的羽毛，見牠沒有飛走的打算，便大膽地抓起小鳥的身體。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq4PYLioxw
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDdAmY8CbU
艾伯李斯特也湊近，於是兩個人便清楚地看見，雀鳥的其中一隻爪子拐著不正常的弧度。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8grVTaNlH
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWzJa4A4R1
「看起來是受傷了。帶回去照顧牠？家裡有醫藥箱。」艾伯李斯特提議。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg3ox2G7fF
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvQTviaxzY
「但是老爺跟夫人不會答應的吧，記得上次那隻小貓嗎？」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5lxUDgqnS
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H2KBGTfmA
「噢，說得也是……」艾伯李斯特沉思半晌，隨後說：「那我們就在這裡照顧牠吧。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e8cfkUxj1
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx2iebCLYu
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVvElok51A
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplbxsybj97
於是接下來整整兩周的時間，艾伯李斯特與艾依查庫用盡各式各樣的理由，每日輪流交替前往秘密基地照顧受傷的雀鳥，除了醫療用品以外，還帶了糧食與毛巾（以防夜晚太冷讓小鳥失溫）。而小雀鳥也不負兩人所期望的，每一天看起來都比前一日有精神，也漸漸養實了身體。兩周後，不僅整隻鳥長大了一圈，也能在洞穴內短暫走跳了。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OmYIOXKJP

「看起來是康復了，不過好像還不能飛。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpJF7jz46d
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0ubSOqlnp
「我倒覺得是牠本來就還不會飛。」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFT7YpREUK
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcB2JBN3Us
某一日的午後，兩個人趁著家中大人都出門辦事，偷偷地跑來洞穴照顧小雀鳥；原本明媚的陽光在兩人出門後就被厚重的雲層所遮掩，看起來一副就是要下雨的樣子。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyfMqDE6fh
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWnMpfkokN
沒想到要帶雨具的兩個人倒也不心急，或坐或躺地在洞穴內閒聊著，並且不忘在拆開餅乾的同時也捏碎了一些給小鳥吃。正當艾依查庫覺得有點昏昏欲睡的同時，天空裡傳來一聲響雷，將兩人的注意力都吸引過去。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA46mV1yxZI
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhrz2FDK1Y
「好像要下雨了──」45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDkiYj6bOM
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QN3LRYhnt
艾伯李斯特的話語尾音尚落，雀鳥便發出幾聲嘹亮急促的叫聲，拍了幾下翅膀就往洞穴外飛去，片刻後雨水就打溼了洞穴外的泥土地。一時之間，艾伯李斯特與艾依查庫都沒有說話，只是凝視著外頭不斷落下的雨水。45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6sfZ4JYjs
