翌日，少婦不畏山路辛勞地再次跋涉而下，卻沒有攜帶她重要而必要的藥箱，她只是為了看到──557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w9af2BHrN
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1emSl1KIo3
為了親眼確認，那憑空消失的魔物到底是不是真實存在。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRn0UUE1Fx
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhhbnBspVg
穗作收割後所留下的田陌空地，似乎有什麼物體搖搖晃晃地伸展而出，將空氣攪成一團爛糊，定神一看，卻只是一陣風颺起。一片片的陰影在地面嬉鬧竄流，然而抬頭所見卻是秋高氣爽的天空……557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7h4nISVwi
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkyVbPRHrI
有許多聲音在低笑說著她聽不懂的語言，也聽不見，只覺得震耳欲聾。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJUVaemPEv
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8jVq36zDW
小末所發現的『卵』再也沒有看見過，而她本人也無任何異常，只是偶爾會大呼小叫地瘋狂歡跳。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYaHMRjlCk
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Nn3M5xAgC
這裡有許多東西，少婦強烈地感受到，卻也同等強烈地自認為是錯覺。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ094ICzhPyC
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIJVAjGOaN
不該再想了……要當作沒見過那種生物……557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFhZv2Pe2q
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wsBb4HJda
自己已不再是過去的那個人了，所以，不應該再看到那種東西的。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgHGxfJ0L2
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bn36VfcAx
少婦強迫自己鎮定，終於，很快地這片山谷又恢復平日所熟悉的景象。她鬆了口氣，上前向村人問道：「小末呢？」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXdOsB3gjO
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk31btnMGe
村人愣了一下，「小末？是誰啊？」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpMwYMnPlx
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiNRT5VUiG
「……就…大作家的么子…」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiil4GV8M3
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN6qbFQXLi
「大作啊…他不是只有三個兒子……而且他妻子已經……」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZfGbdColA
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34U2y139GN
村人的回答碎裂了支撐她思緒的細微意志，就這樣薄弱地摔落地面，把一切不屬於塵事的叫囂與陰影從地底喚醒，它們鑽入天際，歡樂地歌舞著。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5P8TXycjL
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSfUW8dKHe
小末狂笑著從田埂的另一方跑了過來，繞了少婦一圈，又叫嘯著奔到另一頭去。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktt2nowVhx
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh61DADI6C3
「那不就是小末嗎？」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBoohm1iDJ
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSVZ1WVqJB
「是啊，是小末啊。」村人毫無猶疑地回答。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKthuF2BIUb
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj8fIM8GLt
他們對於異象完全無所覺，順其自然地成了異象的一部份，只有自己……557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CxJaFtUN9
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6xWTrBoDL
她潰敗地逃回山林。秋葉紛落、草木枯黃，山林內依舊祥靜如夢醒，即使回頭俯望底下的山谷，也只是普通的村落聚居，沒有任何不安。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFj2E9cgkg
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEiRfNeL62
方才的事也不像是親身所經歷。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeIo92IoUw
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ70rblFy7t
回到自家小屋中，也就早已遺忘了所有的夢魘。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXVO1QMm3o
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFFFtK14Vj
現今的生活還是如同她所冀求的一般，心中也十分平靜。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJn6KkMu6J
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaboZJDYVx
然後，熟稔地開始檢選藥材，有些烹煮、有些磨成膏粉，她還得治療一隻受傷的大白貓呢。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZQTWTB4lM
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVpSJoFTUU
大白貓的男人在白天絕不出門，一到晚上便會鑽入暗林裡獵補山禽野獸。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IJ2O8C8VT
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1wG8p6dTi
他中毒極深，除非是真正對藥與毒有專精如己的人，否則任是得到了如何珍貴的藥材也將束手無策。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWddAgRXeq
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6jJnC14Py
僅管那隻大白貓一雙血瞳是如何兇暴孤僻，最後還是得乖乖地在自己面前把一整帖苦藥給乖乖全數吞下，抱怨不得半聲。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtDoKVYZHQ
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIN0aoXcGi
少婦獨自沉靜地坐在幽暗的小屋內，耐心地等待爐燄慢慢將藥湯熬煮得濃燙，以及狩獵完回來得喝下這壺湯藥的大白貓。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIrRH1EIuc
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujEnTvCp2l
隔了兩日之後，少婦再次背起藥箱走下山頭，然後，一如過往為村民治病與傾聽他們的交談。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrDDQwTF6Y
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopoBmdeV98
沒有什麼異樣，也不再有魔物出現。甚至原本該注意小末的事都不復記憶。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqI3sD2ldJ
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5a8NY0U3d
入秋了，晚風開始吹得冰涼，而西落的日光也更是紅得耀眼，農收的男人皮膚被染出一層通紅。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gH4ivqFXG
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPE2SXFKNS
穀子被堆在空地上曝塞，入夜前又得忙著收拾在穀缸內。女人們紛紛拿出禦寒的衣物來縫補，小孩子被吩咐要在臨近的林地收集好可以添火的枯枝。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxUouzvJRm
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslB0ks2QB1
少婦則拿出一些藥材分贈村人，加入烹煮的食物裡食用能抵禦冬冷的寒氣。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQovicPQ7oR
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHYkoMsZJC
為了明日的存活與生計又再不停地忙錄著，這是身為人類在大地上極其自然的行為。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqOUmg4UNN
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgtOq8b9Do
再自然不過，就這樣一直活下去……557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kp75gSWiD
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCSpclypCy
走在山路上，少婦忽然有些依依不捨地回頭，並不怎麼稀奇的天空與雲、與山、與谷、與溪、以及那不起眼的普通村落，都讓人產生矇矓的眷戀。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19VlM2bmcu
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk7LYMbLVr
或許是有生之年，心中第一次有盈滿的感覺。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz5f62DVlG
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbeyoUam2m
別過頭，滿山的秋肅氣氳雖然冰涼，卻溫柔地輕拂過萬物。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Te9HBswVJ
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGhkmX4xSh
心中的陰影也彷彿要漸漸被帶走般……557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXHMJuRiZy
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvcVKLaPlf
「怎麼了？妳要忘了我嗎？」快要被遺忘的臉孔，拖著綿長的身體乘風而來，她模仿著輕風的溫柔，用眾多手臂裡最前端的一雙取下了少婦的帽紗，「妳正在呼喚著黑闇喔……」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBv5kxdaTO
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1kx0OktSu
少婦看著那微笑的雙瞳與嘴角，呆愣地像是置身夢境之中。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27GVcOAyG2
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxZl52D0Tz
一直藏匿的臉孔被揭了開來，她的面容一如多年以前姣好而年輕，即使歲月與人事在眼神裡添加了風霜，也只被深藏於黑瞳深處……557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2xze1bqrD
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPpsjuuEB5
那個曾經是被小末所發現的『卵』、被少婦所喚作『神』的魔物，像是滿意少婦的臉孔而吃吃地天真笑起，「小末的靈魂應該很鮮美吧，對不對？…不過那個沒有辦法拿走，所以…妳的給我……」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoIhHu2hJz
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSZBTEwHY0
秋風掃起了滿山紅黃枯葉，也捲起了塵埃，優雅得如同日常一般。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxG6tyZUSm
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilOyORCILd
被捉走的，只有她自己而已……557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS9xSgvOlp

「…櫻姬…」557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7B6G4pfig
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqCPVFQCOS
當神魔喚出自己的真名時，陳封的記憶也將被打散，如同落葉般地漫天紛飛……557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLL1vRl0U3
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVtVaCAmbH
不知在何處的小末，帶著滿足的笑容蜷曲身體，無數隻蟲蛆忙碌地在她身旁蠕動吐絲、用繭做成了與世隔絕的球殼，於是小末就在殼裡逐漸回溯到她還是小嬰兒的年紀，從腳尖開始一點一滴地退化縮小，成了吐絲造繭的蟲蛆形態，當她完全消失時，薄殼破裂開來，腐土伸出一雙死槁但充滿母愛的手指，把它帶回地底。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfKB49Gz9P
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw8mY5OLGa
……自己也化成了一縷輕煙，灑脫地在晴空裡飛散成虛無……557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uBTjK4f6o
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAc26MKRXz
無數蟲蛆辛勤地鑽入山道鬆軟土壤，沿路栽植出比花瓣斑斕的彩蛹，它們像是葉片一樣舒捲開來，從中伸出了數支芽臂，頂端密集的頭顱們齊聲地唱著似曾相似的歌謠。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADQHp9sAOl
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsKgGyv9aO
拖曳著贅長羽毛、與葉片同樣嬌小的鳥兒在芽臂與葉片間輕靈地鑽竄，長在鳥腹上以翼作手的小人用爪子抓起唱歌的頭顱飛翔，於是每一顆頭顱都開始尋求自己的軀體，在落到地面時都具有各自喜歡的模樣，骨肉血脈尋求自由地掙脫既定的形體拘束，像是飛禽也像走獸、同時是飛禽走獸都不會有的形態。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc0eZfAOnN
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoQ21sl6o9
祂們的形體就是祂們的意志。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk38GGBdwhR
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm2Xdb7Sqx
整座樹林也是有著自由意志的活物，正愉快地向上伸展枝椏，佔據了整片蒼穹。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDdZcfN3Rk
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87scTfi3g2
數不清的赤紅眼睛在黑暗密林裡燿燿燃起……557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjvkeLhVL0
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6csou0asY
片刻的瞬間，魔物們就驅走了時光的存在。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteIMw3je88

557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr1oHr25bJ
這裡是溫暖又靜謐的黑暗世界，是永遠沉睡之處……557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9s5FljzDd
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXeDLKWX95
就在這裡沉睡吧，陷入深深的睡眠，連夢境都無法叨擾。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoFhbcUIXk
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9EppXwfQL
……永不清醒……557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV2aDtH32h
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUERcCNnD0v
只要在自己的小屋內，靜靜地等著爐火熬藥，心裡就會安心。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfLwgufzJN
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWsGdeRbOk
苦蘿根、芍香等易生常見的藥用植物，由毒蛇糞土裡生長的劍藤才真正具有解毒功能，而難以栽種的七葉蘭在此地從六葉甚至九葉都有，麻雀花是人畜皆懼的毒物，卻也是治療絕症的極效品……557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ2wTndhiv
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpThwNWKji
一個又一個地細數著所有的藥材，終於連自己心底的喧噪聲音也不再聽聞。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPY2dNzh4b
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67PvvJo8y7
其餘事物都毫無義意。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmsUuDINVT
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABqUPt53bO
但是受傷的大白貓卻撬開門扉，他中毒極深，除非是真正對藥與毒有專精如己的人，否則任是得到了如何珍貴的藥材也將束手無策……557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAqdxsWaSK

大白貓敏捷而有力的爪子撕裂魔物們攀上櫻姬的觸手，魔物們不怒反笑地顫動著，他只得用比任何魔物更加血腥的赤瞳來斥退祂們。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS8xG1VPFx
557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiM9B3h6fC
野獸般的哮吼刺耳刮骨，黑暗世界變得既破碎又褪色，魔物們大笑，像是妥協地讓出光影與時間，而後鼠竄地一哄而散。557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvdBDN9tgK
