帝江一愣，問道：「丹姑娘……此話何意？」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu4mkXa3Pd
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW2zy9jObN
陳丹微笑，道：「您貴為山主，這福澤還請莫要虛耗，我呢，本就是命數已盡之人，此生能多出幾個年頭，見到世間那些從未想過的樣貌，已是感恩戴德，眼下該是時候上路啦。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8odO3RV0Zx
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp7l2TzgVl
帝江拿出錦囊，勉力一笑，試圖揭過話題：「不過三年時光呢，世間玄妙之事豈是三年能遍覽的？天山外頭還有許多……」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8QzPL6JqQ
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPalgc88N0b
陳丹拉起帝江的手，接過錦囊，重新放回他掌中，將他拳頭闔上，她說：「我呀，自小便討厭自個兒的名字，若非老爹說這名兒給繡在我那褓布上，我才不用。陳丹陳丹，成單成單，爹娘不僅將我遺棄，難不成還盼著我形單影隻？聽上去怪不吉利的。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ5HWokWj7
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uMh6ET2rv
「常霜的名字就挺好，他比我慘些，初見他時已有五歲，比我年長一歲，還沒個名兒，整日只知道在街上流連。好在他碰上我啦，我便給他起了名，就叫常霜，常霜長雙，自此以後我倆便形影不離，縱然世道艱苦，總還有彼此扶持。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7SI4fAyE9
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9VfEgNpaR
陳丹放開帝江，自腰間取出帕子一條，陳舊的帕子角落繡有歪歪扭扭的「丹」和「霜」字，兩字風格迥異，但同樣奇醜無比。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtYvors30h
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGweP5oz36
她愛惜地摩挲陳舊但潔淨的帕子，續道：「常霜患病以後，成日想趕我走，千方百計都試遍了，說他厭煩我了、說他失憶了、裝聾裝瞎等等，還有許多，可我偏不走。許是我倔強，將他逼急了，有一回，他不告而別，倒也沒走遠，就藏在屋後樹叢裡邊，但為使我相信他已離家出走，還煞費苦心買通守村大叔，誆我說見到他離去。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLYdDkl8RY
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNL5CO1wB8
「結果我找了他整整十天，週邊所有村落全都找了，第十天還是老爹看不下去叫人帶話給我，謊稱他被人打劫，傷得厲害，想我回去照看他一陣。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAcjmvGx1t
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBELgY8qOo
「回家時常霜悄悄來看我，見我灰頭土臉，衣袍襤褸，兩隻眼睛腫得嚇人。大約是我過份邋遢驚呆了他，常霜不慎滑一跤，碰一聲好大聲，登時叫我發現。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtxmyR6chn
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYqf8KHFJI
陳丹重新收起手帕，直視帝江，說：「那時，我撲上去揪住他，一面嚎啕大哭，一面大吼大叫：『不許丟下我！不許丟下我！知道我為什麼喊你常霜嘛？因為此生我只同你雙棲雙宿、茶飯家常！不許丟下我！奈河橋也要同我一塊兒走！』」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKoPFKWXoK
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5UHPhGZto
她笑出聲：「現下想來，這話屬實天真，哪有幾對有情人能一塊兒過奈河橋的？可我該是吼大聲了，竟將朱厭仙家喊了來，這般幼稚的願望忽然便實現了。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AHdceDfXA
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUe5Wsg1K1
陳丹對說：「山主大人，得您垂青實是幸事一件，也十分感念您讓我能親手安葬常霜，可我當真該走了，當初是我喊得同過奈河橋，再不去，常霜該等急了。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf6aHP2ini
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnkkvEdA44
帝江緊了緊拳頭，輕聲說：「知道了。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTNVrW77V7
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D5suhaqWn
他也不明白自己為何就這樣執著陳丹，如同陳丹執著常霜一般。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rEcHC14zs
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2jyrCO1JM
但帝江不願過份逼迫陳丹，若他想，令陳丹繼續活下去並非難事，可她若不高興，他大約也高興不起來。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf4pOFvAEO
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GspDcg0wG
無妨，他心想，陳丹是凡人，死後入道輪迴，他能探聽她的命數，雖探問輪迴這樣的天機需耗費一些心神，可他樂意，待陳丹轉世時，他定能做那位最早識得她的人。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplQvE8t7PR
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiSYW4cK8o
帝江重新將錦囊收進袖中，好聲尋問道：「福澤所延壽數磕得死緊，今日晚膳便是丹姑娘最後一餐，姑娘可有想吃什麼？」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE7Z6xZzIz
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHeLfPEAwP
陳丹想了想，笑道：「陽春麵。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi59orb9YM
「陽春麵？」帝江倍感疑惑，僅此而已？264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLJ6RzsBEh
「嗯，您還沒嚐過吧，我這廚藝可是得老爹真傳，給您也做一碗吧？飯後再補上一支糖畫鯉魚給您。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhw8QkaMt9
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAowIEYXJq6
「好。」他一笑，很輕很輕地。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd73UGiTcch
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z6jHRixi3
那碗麵，帝江已忘了是什麼滋味，就如過去他在食肆裡用餐一般，醉翁之意總不在麵，在食肆打雜的少女；在與他同桌的陳丹。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWPJenZoxg
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fpyrzqEZa
那支糖畫鯉魚倒是印象深刻，陳丹許久沒畫鯉魚，手藝依然精湛，帝江覺著挺好看，和初見時一般好看。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdHr0OkeSJ
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdY5uEsstP
飯後，兩人就著帝江的琴聲有一搭沒一搭地閒話，陳丹似乎沒打算就寢，帝江自然作陪到底。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuk8vYdxX6
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2KwzULl5g
子時將近，時間在一曲良宵引中流逝。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexb6nQs4QR
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTD16HXQIV
帝江問陳丹：「丹姑娘來世想做怎樣的人？」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj1kFgWpkh
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshxWGWpsIB
陳丹搔搔臉頰，移開欣賞帝江彈琴的目光，她說：「從未想過呢，待到來世再煩惱好啦。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihwmIsnSDw
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWy7Fcxub2
帝江笑道：「不論是個怎樣的人，定會有個順風順水的一生。」他會看著的。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjOGXozu1j
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOZeE8LfyM
陳丹搔抓臉頰的手有些僵硬，她笑而不語。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCO1bwAWZd
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeEMTHTYZr
子時正。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuuhIPhwa4
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdBGHmVPdP
一股異樣爬上陳丹心頭，她忙抬頭看向帝江，後者擱下落霞古琴，起身握住陳丹雙手，說道：「丹姑娘，走好，來世再見。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg6xk6Zddt
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR1pCetBUF
一顆淚珠溢出陳丹眼眶，她低聲說：「對不住，帝江大人，謝謝您，謝謝您……永別了……大人……」話音未盡前，陳丹已化作一抔輕塵，頃刻散失。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOBI35bPOc
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jivx7EnZ0
帝江沒看見凡人死亡時該有的微光，三魂七魄的光，有魂魄方能入道輪迴，再臨常世。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7JfH2YYRU
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq9dTD0oVW
陳丹身死即魂滅。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMDkuYfOVX
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eZ6My4p3O
她始終沒告訴帝江，朱厭同她一塊兒回家時，常霜剛嚥下最後一口氣，除了渡予常霜一半壽數，陳丹還以自個兒轉生的機會，換回常霜今生。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5HMfSig9K
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2hUNgJPYd
同過奈河橋都是瞎說，此後，世間再無陳丹。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB3i1buXeF
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoydFwDvGDG
帝江頭一次想留在身邊的姑娘，在他眼前逝去，決絕地，徹底地。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaByW0K5BD
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3ZJEWnosD
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBE212l2zE
「……」一時靜默，齊雨瞥向身旁離綰，姑娘正淅瀝嘩啦地哭，帝江流不出的淚水都讓她幫忙流了，肩頭青鳥十分有耐心地一下一下以翅膀替她擦淚，不時撓撓她鼻尖逗她笑。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYUENdeS5j
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmREUWcDpy
齊雨抬起手，摸摸袖口，又將手擱回膝頭，開口問道：「而後，你去了哪兒？宣鑒既不知曉此事，那便是冥府十殿閻王處了？可是忘川？」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxzLDycn9r
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d8NcVGlk6
帝江長歎一口氣道：「非也，我想過忘川，可陳丹魂魄已散，忘川乃是魂魄洗滌之處，既無魂魄，她又怎會在忘川裡？」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqNqTC4dXI
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI6zOUGr1z
「於是？」齊雨問。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEMeZT7Gvg
「我去了眾帝之臺。」帝江說。
