盂蘭盛會。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndezVG2Xwr

這是陽間的夜晚時份，本來是瀝青地足球場上在仲夏之前臨時建起了這碩大的建築物。竹支搭建而成的戲棚傳來一種發霉木塊的味道，夾雜著善信燒香的煙薰味。露天戲棚內燈火通明，靠著舞台上的射燈燈光，把台下一排排的座椅染上陣紅陣黃的熱鬧顔色。台上花旦小生正演一幕文戲，在後台旁的樂師像在打瞌睡。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdT2aewRu7

時候已經不早了，觀眾席上只剩下得疏疏落落幾隻人影，幾個伯伯腦袋瓜跟著節拍來回搖動，用著走腔的音調也唱一份。小羽不禁懷疑，到底在座的有幾多位根本不是人類。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb1QX3Y2yt
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7UxbdZSOM
帶位的伯伯耳邊插了根皺巴巴的香煙，忙著在角落跟清潔嬸嬸串門子，似乎沒打算帶剛進場的小羽就坐。她還留在一旁未踏進去，把觀眾席來回掃視了一遍，肯定坐在正中那一個人就是目標。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvFuIHhArY

一個年約四十多歲的蒼白男人端坐在中間，一身雪白的造型跟這舊戲院極不搭配。他身穿一件銀白色絲質寛袖長袍，腰間插著一把鐵骨紙扇，就算放進古裝街也毫不突兀。他灰髮藍眼、寛掌長臉，高䠷的身栽在狹窄的座椅之間，坐得有點侷促。小羽不禁亂猜，這白爺好可能是個患白化病的白子，更有可能是個半唐蕃混血洋人。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBa96dzRFs
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyavTUgKqSZ
小羽二話不說擠到他旁邊，那人連眼尾也沒轉過來，雙眼仍舊盯著舞台。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6FM57Wgsf
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRX0vEVwSJ
「您好，閣下就是白爺謝必安先生不是？」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuNxQlmNrH
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TSgOLmmEc
「等一下可以嗎？我最喜歡這一場戲。」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHj4A6uF4q
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9aELG9BW0
那男人沒有直接說小羽認錯人，大概可以當是默認吧。其實白爺外表不過是正值盛年的年紀，怎樣說也稱不上一個『爺』字。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5HBsDCqNA
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6mey9G0D7
那男人指頭敲著手靠打拍子，點頭哼著歌詞：「...盼得花燭共諧白髮...誰個願看花燭翻血浪...」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrFSzRMRbF
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bjOtmQ4Ib
小羽望著這場悶得發毛的粵曲，老實不客氣的打了個瞌睡。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA3r3UGhYX
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWgrYnOE7g
「...朗月引路到仙鄉...」那男人鼻子抽了一下，閉上雙眼繼續哼唱：「...雙雙仙侶共泛銀河浪...」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMeHqaDl5r
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8gpQ5LXzQ
小羽知道再怎樣叫也沒用，唯有靜靜等下去。好在戲目已近結尾，還不到五分鐘時間就謝幕。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRESIaxtcm
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmMkGLyot9
那蒼白男人緩緩站起來，慢慢向著出口走去，完全無視了旁邊的小羽。這實在有點太囂張了，小羽壓住怒氣，繞個圈子追上去。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyq4F3IQZy
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhBZk1rkpl
「白爺！」小羽趕及在戲棚出口追上去。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZDlQMWxOs
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EwWXWnFk4
蒼白男人停下腳步，眼神空洞，明明在望著小羽的眼睛，卻教人覺得他根本沒有看著自己：「小妹妹，如果我想應妳的，剛才已經應了；不想理妳的，妳認為跑過來我就會理會妳嗎？」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmLZ4It1wl
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVEKWlWCK2
「白爺，但是是盲毛叫我來的。您不是有個任務委託...」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGg19mA2G6
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez2ZdKtZ2d
「酒場沒有再好的死神了嗎？我沒想過應徵的會是個小女孩。」 571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADNoXEqhcd
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2L6gdtC6j
「女孩就有甚麼問題？」小羽也不甘示弱：「待我有朝一日成了閻王，就有你好看的。」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pxoK3D9u8
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiL2HAI8pK
白爺眨眨眼，好幾秒鐘沒作半點反應：「妳意思是：妳想當閻羅王？」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5GG6KPXof
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvuNgdH4qQ
「對啊。」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJLMBs9fLG
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg4dJJv6fb
「哈哈哈哈...這是我四百年來聽過最有創意的笑話。」白爺沒好氣地答：「那我不阻妳繼續發這春秋大夢了，哈...竟然有個乳臭未乾的小女孩，說她想當上閻王...哈...荒謬...真荒謬...」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVBJGmvdBv
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXkRg4lbvp
「為甚麼不行？」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o1dbrlkqn
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOVsx4VOl6
「數千百年以來，根本就沒有出過像妳這樣的閻王。」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYTbjQRyQl
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXTmvxJpBI
「我有甚麼問題？」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYfhCA4SDB
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYxw2DrMFM
「妳？妳肯定妳過得了那十八重地獄的關卡？」白爺搖搖頭：「只不過妳只有十幾歲、妳也沒有超凡的智慧、也沒有神祇般的法力。而且，妳是個女的。」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCo4QDKqPP
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmixMH3hgr8
小羽挖一挖鼻孔，她最不喜歡聽到這種『不行啦、不可以啦、沒可能啦』一類的廢話，還有那封建的性別歧視。她隨手把鼻屎乾彈走，再把拍拍白爺膊頭：「那我就做第一個吧。」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtLWci6ooD
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7Oud60G1R
白爺急忙退後一步，甩開小羽的手。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaaYFYLIXR
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMwN1Deokp
「我想，這千百年來也沒有人敢把鼻屎抺在你身上，對吧？」小羽望著白爺一身近乎潔癖的純白套裝，肯定沒有人夠膽挑釁這一板一眼的老頑固。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndTPdpJj6C
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQsbNIveoA
白爺先是呆了一下，卻不期然笑了出來。他來回踱了幾步：「我倒很欣賞妳這瘋瘋癲癲的性格。」他態度似乎沒剛才那麼冷漠。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRISIOCpf3
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleCpaME9L9
白爺望望空空如也的戲台，靜止不動了好幾秒，微微笑一笑：「委託的事，等我好好考慮一下。」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGpg04nziz
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjiCFisWFm
說罷白爺轉身就走。小羽呆在原地，慢慢覺得有點不對勁。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikE6eIuVD7
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhqTyb3kd4
「等等，白爺！」小羽追上去：「明白人說明白事，那甚麼大不了的偵測任務，找我就找我，不然就叫別的死神去做吧。別浪費本小姐青春，本小姐可不能無止境的等你答覆。」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf5uNF2Xff
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OWet1DOEP
白爺再次望著小羽，雙眼卻不是剛才那種空洞的目光，而是仿佛能穿透別人想法的銳利眼神。他稍稍寬容下來，除除的道：「很好...很好...面對拒絕，妳處理得不錯。」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa4i2Kzaas
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5oqRBMrxs
他...在試我？571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1vFdYsxYf
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVezyhbsCg
戲棚的大光燈調暗，小羽才記起時候已經不早了。白爺突然一臉認真的吩咐小羽：「好吧，給妳一個機會。要是任務出了甚麼差池的話，小心我對妳不客氣。」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBsu6wErIh
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYrdgVyGaU
「呃...好啊。」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnat2gEveMb
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjcdezZ5VW
「明天陽間早上八時正，妳再來這個戲棚找我。」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDyAodAtYq
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYJHL71Q2g
小羽正想多問一句的時候，眨眼間發覺白爺已經失去踪影。 571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvAYvDQLDi
