沈應看著靜雲臉色幾變，起先是不甘、憤恨，最後隻餘頹敗，唇上一絲血色也無，沈應想著當日在窗下聽見的言語，再試一句，“你從前就知道。”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAAzU9JgbC
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTfUxuXAv3
撐在地上的手一顫，她再也跪不住，歪著身子坐在地上，臉上慢慢浮現淒苦之色，凝在眼眶中的淚，止也止不住。63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaHhZmcgyR
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LJhaMK28l
一滴兩滴，似流不盡。63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3lzrclmQ3
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH8ZoK17Dp
看來有苗頭了，沈應欲要言語，再詐她一兩句，卻聽她啞著聲，“大人…可曾聽說過典妻？”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu4cBm5rWX
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3GvkS31s4
“…此等惡習乃是前朝遺禍，齊朝律明令禁止，隻是南方一帶還是有人暗地裏買賣，屢禁不止，”男子沉聲，顯然對惡習深惡痛絕，“…我亦有所耳聞。”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdL60CkGmX
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmjb79cjda
南方一帶，前朝盛行典妻，將妻與人，齊朝立國，今上厭惡此等惡習，故而齊朝有法令予以嚴禁，然山野民間卻還見蹤跡。63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hBvuqubpa
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9OjcE3RU5
靜雲恍惚一笑，似想起了什麼可恨的事，“是啊，齊朝律禁止，官府抓人…又哪能真的禁得了…”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOKyBRpKT3
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgpT8j6kMe
沈應向前踏了一步，“你是說”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT77WD5M61
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMSt7vY5b0
“…說是典妻，不過是好聽點的說辭……說白了…是租女子的肚皮…”她摸了摸肚腹，“…留子不留妻。”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq5xRe4LEW
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7zbDn7kKc
殷實的人家，自然走不上典妻這一途。63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T3J9QGe8W
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1I1bUqLfz
靜雲家裏祖上還是殷實的人家，田產豐厚，家底也足，到了她爹那一輩，遇上百年難得一見的旱災，祖宅不得不賣與別人，祖上攢下的田產幾乎敗了個精光。63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2s4r9pft6
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIYXJi4Mq1
偏偏她爹年輕時沾染壞習氣，喝酒賭錢一樣不落，家裏越發差了，手裏有幾個錢，還能寬限幾天，等到家徒四壁，債主便上門討要，從兒時記事起，靜雲見得最多的，就是討債凶神惡煞的債主和抱著自己默默拭淚的娘。63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGXNnNae3R
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYqmMg0htn
她那懦弱無能的爹，債主一上門，便扔下妻子和女兒，要等到晚上，才會躡手躡腳順著牆根溜進屋，喏諾地向妻兒賠不是，賭咒發誓再也不賭，幫著收拾一地狼藉——63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviiO4MXZuO
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXnj6yvJz6
討不了銀錢，那些人發起狠來，家裏能砸的東西自然砸個清光。63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu4Xvyu4tR
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cFBOzRfzi
可等到了第二天，狐朋狗友一招呼，又故態複萌，一心要在賭桌上翻本。63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ575OvJvwfP
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsth9ADIR7
年複一年日複一日，等到靜雲年歲稍大，她爹漸漸打上了女兒的主意，十兩銀子，將她賣給了城裏的光棍。63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgXG0fMMBl
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OeiIvrSIx
原以為離了家，勤快些就能過上好日子，誰知光棍也是個不成器的，抽煙、喝酒、賭錢，跟他爹差不了多少，輸了錢打她出氣，終於連本也輸淨，轉手將她典了出去。63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIdxV1NNlO
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS6mmsqPr1
一紙書文，三十兩，典給方員外生兒子。63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sAz7AVYRo
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofbJel9VcS
她流著淚幽幽一歎，“…典肚皮求香火…若生了女娃，是要溺斃的…”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3RW4TDA0e
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs3EBCmrTI
“典了三年…三年裏…孩子都是一生下來就被抱走了…”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztLvRskRoE
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe764xV5M2i
抱走的孩子能到哪裏去？南地一帶，尤諱養女，更何況是典妻生的女嬰。63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURsH9vVBIO
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9sRMcUGVB
可憐的娃兒，投生到她的腹中，連抱也不曾就陰陽兩隔，靜雲一想起便肝腸寸斷，柔唇幾乎要咬出血來，心中大恨，“所以我恨，恨我那豬狗不如的夫君！恨把我典去的方員外！恨不得能咬下他們的肉！可我、我又能如何？”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo6mHkdxNI
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3ak4G9r3H
二十歲的光景，娘家沒有人撐腰，便是再恨又能怎樣？她隻能逃。63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj2O7WwpA3
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JPj0EJeaz
靜雲原想從陸路逃去端州，又怕方家的人沿途追上，“我聽方員外家裏的下人說走水路極快，便打算偷偷上去端州的船，臨走到底還是放心不下我娘，回了家裏一趟，你猜怎麼著？”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAitdLmM2PA
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNPakb8d8R
“那個男人竟然將娘也典了…哈哈”她笑得癲狂，笑得眼角閃出了淚花，“前腳賣女兒…後腳典妻…等回去…我娘已死了兩年…”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWumbmHhzl
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1aKkf5vBh
良久，唇角的笑再也撐不住，靜雲方木然道，“臨走前，我親手放了一把火，他不是喝得醉生夢死麼，送他下去，正好替世間除一禍害。”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHzE7uogl0
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrR1HrQkQj
沈應沉默良久，才道，“後來你如何到的靜月庵？”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61jYQnYetA
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwX1USuVTW
“孤身女子出門在外，不得不小心，我尋思女子身份不便，喬裝扮作了男子，塗黑臉混上船，跟船到了端州。”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJIdOrNKMn
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5qy2Ihy8P
“也是運氣好，正好遇上藥堂招工，我在山裏幹活識得幾味藥，後來得了掌櫃賞識，留在藥堂做工賺點銀子過活。”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVF84qm468
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY40wsfpBX
從前家裏沒有糧食，她也曾上山采野果，識得一些常用的藥草。63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoHMrvUciF
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimHr4ygWyu
“妙雲師太說你夫君姓嚴，又是怎麼回事？”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiV9qkeIQ5
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx9hH8lG1g
“那人來藥堂買藥，一來二去看對了眼，我便索性跟他過日子，也算再嫁了罷。”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5OvH2ZES9
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslSbAzlQU1
她眼前似蒙了一層雨霧，唇畔那抹笑意輕柔，語意也柔，“雖然窮，那人幹活有一把子力氣，村裏的人也信他，家裏慢慢也就好起來了…”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJqdQV6I5W
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIxkVTsdJM
日子雖然苦，可還是有盼頭的，地是自家的，收成不好也不必看誰的臉色，她在藥堂銀錢雖然不多，好歹有份營生，夫妻倆自食其力。63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzvWy0v0oQ
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcjqbDVeQW
若真好起來，她又怎會出現在靜月庵，當中定然出了其他變故，沈應凝神再聽，猜想著其中緣由。63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDXrrbj6sy
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx3m0s3lGl
“後來他不甘心過看老天臉色的日子，道要出去找些能賺大錢的活，自打外出辦事回來後便跟換了一個人似的，對我不似往常…”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbpw9txXvt
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9dTFPu9WU
沈應心中一動，“可知是什麼營生？”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqg5TyOSgD
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6JJfoutFS
“我起先也是好奇…問得多了，那人便發起狠來把我打了一頓，我沒法子連夜逃了去，後來得庵裏收留，在靜月庵出家…”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduLu6Yl4JY
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2prIK2Xskw
“誰知入了庵裏半個月，他便托人找上門。”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaLCe8useI
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2BC8HVdsl
這事確實奇怪，沈應瞧著靜雲臉色不似作偽，“他也親自來尋過你，你們見麵是以上香遮掩吧。”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVZSHMElci
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZRpvz1Vvo
“沒想到大人連遮掩的法子也知道，果然是被賣透了…”靜雲苦笑，她重新跪正了身子，對沈應道，“是，他托人找上來的次數一多，我尋思著也避不開。”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVDIHVt286
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkF5h2m2gP
“況且那營生也是古怪…說是讓我留心來庵裏上香的女子，將獨行的女子，以及家眷一道來的，住哪間靜室分辯仔細，這活兒算不得難，銀錢也足，我便一直替他留心。”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y9lamdd9b
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxUiQjlmKV
“讓你留心這些，是他自己主意，還是有人指使？你難道從不起疑用意？”這女尼有古怪之處，可她若完全不曾疑過背後用意，沈應無論如何也不信。63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVT2R5ch2S
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PfQdMh1rV
男子居高臨下，臉色寒峻，語意森冷，靜雲不自覺抖了抖，自嘲一笑，“那人能有什麼主意，往常老實本分的人突然發起狠來，被人當槍使，怎麼死的也不知道…我一開始還真不覺，隻覺這事來錢快又不費勁，哪裏細想那麼多，不怕大人見笑，我實是窮怕了！”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ59gADZe2s
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyfbhsE9uE
生父為了償清賭債將她賣了，夫君為了銀錢也能將她典與別人生孩子，她這二十幾年活得窩囊，命裏總跟錢一字過不去，麵前擺了一個賺錢的好機會，那人待她不好，可有了銀錢她往後也能過上好日子，靜雲一咬牙便和那人一起幹起了勾當。63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuoG075fGH
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2uUh076xm
“你幾時發覺不對？”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsbRBfyGOn
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiGTcWqbUn
靜雲細細回想，眸光幽遠，“那一日是雨天…我恰好在觀音殿後的簷下避雨。上山的香客不多，隻有前一天宿下的香客，他們在觀音殿上香，還有人尋庵裏的師姐解夢。”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0liyWaeYaJ
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvFwWG6B5r
“若是一人還自罷了，偏偏我留心的那些個女子，大半做了夢，雖然有些個記不清了，大抵還是八九不離十的…”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl3m7dDasj
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz06ia9MoFe
沈應蹙眉，“他們夢見了何事？”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczUQlwhaIa
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1qcXG2kqB
“…與人雲雨的春夢，兩相印證我便知此事壞了。”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlbJcIqhiv
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwvY9L9IQF
靜雲還是留了一些心眼，她初得知時真是驚得心兒砰砰跳，連飲了兩盞茶才緩過來，後來旁敲側擊其他香客，也就東拚西湊了大半，“等我發覺不對，靜月庵的求子靈驗名聲已經傳遍，來的婦人也就更多了。”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RVb2N44De
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujWPH95KF4
“你是說求子的那些”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdCzNfMPsv
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk8zcawOLe
這事牽連甚廣，饒是沈應也不由倒吸一口涼氣，庵裏每年來往的香客有多少，要是真如靜雲說的——63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF2H6qU1om
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjw4mPGgvD
那些道求子靈驗得來的娃娃…63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9yAtzsMuZ
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYKutC5YTZ
他待平複下來細想，又覺此事古怪，不免起疑，“放那些人全數離去，難道就不怕他們回去說起？”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzwtwU984q
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKwjT6dHUb
靜雲指著門外道，“大人忘了這裏是庵院嗎？半夢半醒之中，說是托夢誰又能辯真假，至於那些個真發覺了的…”63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW0vzrFeEe
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPgILV0DTe
真發覺了的，自然走不出靜月庵，沈應看著女尼垂首，口中不能成言，不由冷哼了聲。63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pOpTptzCR
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCLiicGqYx
看來她知曉發覺真相的下場，這也是石雕底下屍骨的由來。63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxzRxkArSa
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23hQsUjEVY
有求子的靈驗名聲在前，尋常人做了春夢也羞於提起，大約還以為心誠則靈菩薩托夢罷，隻要稍稍運作一番，借解夢也能遮掩過去，這靜雲口中所言身世固然可憐，可她後邊所為，雖非元凶也是幫手，脫不得幹係。63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcZ37HIeeS
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrPLJHwrPy
靜雲言畢心中忐忑，上首立著的男子容貌英武，眸子靜沉如淵，她一路說下來，也難看見有何起伏波動，眼下靜默不言，她心裏也就越發不安了。63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXmRocF8EA
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5drlC67n0Q
當初怎麼會想攀上他，為自己找一個靠山，好讓他帶自己離開靜月庵…63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JHiEMDFEG
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIyEm7ahcu
“嗒嗒”男子長指輕敲著桌案，那兩下極有韻律，不急不躁，靜雲下意識抬眸，正對上男子凜寒的麵容，頜邊線條冷厲。63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruGIxflwZb
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBppguzCYbO
“你沒說全，靜雲。”
