他在梳化上猛然醒來。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRqZ9gf9jF
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4bTRj882j
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。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeTX8EkY50
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFy66wbDEB
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。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7azUuvMhWx
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0ApzZbt4Z
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。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S8DiGhAKP
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwabp1mlwzO
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。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSIOLM8YeQ
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeNgUA14nZ
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dweDtAOmt
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG1YJQoYA8
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcv4cOMEUj
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqN10zYHbu
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vZ8FkgHUv
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypPMHWSJ94
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswDCpXeIcz
抵不住。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShlcLJ9FvT
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwgd0hLtIt
他決定到公園散步。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ1FJvqYZ9
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mH8T3pwBj
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYtYNYOcK9
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWKIwsRC4W
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。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sXng7fnjs
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZSxCtsLXI
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。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdVzuZ8L2G
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUffHLHF1sr
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ16A9mvHg
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkztixci689
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqwkeopbJO
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwT3EuiyRK
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko7eOiUdlB
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreyyHdBNv7
他不自已憶起亡妻……259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3LHPPH7lb
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEytissY1Fz
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。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOicxxoAYT
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSMbJtxdMK
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rG9E0gn0k
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKbkgZAvok
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7U33jvJqz
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcVRGcLxGS
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCycXUbTa7
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04aIFDMFTF
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx0VqQnGfu
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcWaA4QvP4
「快了、快了。不用著急！」259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1hEraCnRU
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsnsuUezax
「即是何時？」259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX3xU5036Q
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqjj1Pxn4z
「下一個夏天。」259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEsLz44Q8R
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5Bwd6Vk6p
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。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeon26E7wQ
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWq673HVFE
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NItSzlwgo
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZjTJP1LF3
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4t98LA0eO
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5Hs7EwYn4
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZOBWhDvPt
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn1LKJhu5P
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。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv02m2OR1j
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGhhLSj3Ni
內心終於安定下來。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSD4mcOOvV
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu80yc4q0vm
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』！」259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdyxdQ3DD0
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GZxEc8CkG
「但你的血糖……」259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEk8g5Wmu0
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PDVcciBLL
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcAiPMwYYw
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5iaaHKyQJ
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I1oymk3hF
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSt2xvY7N0
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。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjepQN0ou4C
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX9Dejm9BW
兒子送她一根拐杖。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjetSGMxmR
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2A7zIOeYc
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。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS88puY9KXE
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYZagq2uJq
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。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4ES2n6Wqt
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNboR87H33
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』！」259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6tJIMdVQ2
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QRLLrYpu0
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。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw8GBFp7HI
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1el34eVQ9J
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。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W47ikFFvy
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthgpoxKGKk
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。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfkr43S79X
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuZwW3u225
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNvtz12s6P
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJrClw5ARa
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。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzImDzf0ml4
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNrQ5SskDg
於願足矣。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68D5QHuxCo
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawmQANQFI8
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifCmax0Pzq
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU6nVIriLT
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO4ShDtSud
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HCIVolLP2
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpqNfy5P4Z
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qmVwtxgAj
總得走下去，不是嗎？259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZxZs7nnJu
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YmVv6iyCO
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5AzlNjbxp
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAQVZyha1v
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb57NkkVr9K
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKCSP0Jqdv
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECJ9sSb2Vl
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcYrMG6z6e
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKxyQdV7A2
