奴壹躲在無人的僻靜角落，從懷中掏出打火機，燃起那根得來不易的香菸。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQlSqXKSkE
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrTKVVvllg
吸——呼——舒爽無比。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUAMjLxT5L
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42Xhwh1ioH
吸——呼——繃緊情緒得以紓緩下來。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW03F3Vu9P
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuq1TJ3Coh
吸——呼——頭腦清晰不少。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUc1Z0U7f4
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLwraNTKU0
吸——呼——抽菸而已，為何要東躲西藏？642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mMVlsbvFh
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrphS8ZQ1Ip
「哦！你抽菸！」奴貳忽爾從旁冒了出來，嚇煞奴壹。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6NnQK2dFv
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwe61Zpuj0
「安靜一點！」奴壹既慌且怒，扔下菸蒂，撲前以手臂鎖住奴貳喉頭，阻止對方繼續吵嚷。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTk2nHmwKS
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa7bbxFCBb
苦苦掙扎的奴貳學乖了，以手勢示意自己會馬上閉嘴。奴壹這才鬆開了手臂，拾起珍貴的香菸繼續享用。奴貳像隻餓鬼，湊近奴壹，貪婪吸索他噴呼出來的白煙。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2Cq3fS6Ii
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ3naon8JF
菸盡。仍然沉醉於尼古丁的兩奴背對背癱坐，有的沒的開始聊天。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa9D5Cxa2B
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsjR8ruMKu
「哪來的香菸？」在奴貳印象中，奴主嚴禁所有奴隸抽菸。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ81p9RXjk
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3sV366HDa
「秘密。」奴壹不願多談，深怕惹來麻煩。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh66yNs9OAe
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0pcCBlyyC
「還以為主人破例讓你抽菸呢！」奴貳邪笑起來，知道自己已掌握奴壹的把柄。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1AbvJsldl
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtvFL0l6zT
「口在，鼻在，手在，打火機在，我能夠自由選擇抽菸與否，不需主人批准。」奴壹是奴，眼神卻閃耀著自由的光芒。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7g9KXVCYZ
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL9emD8rvO
「不！主人說……」奴貳的腦袋不靈活，尚未明白奴壹的意思。待他聯想到甚麼的時候，恐懼迅即油然而生，身體不期然震顫起來：「難道你接觸過災民口中所講的『人權』？不要聽信他們！主人說那是歪論！那是來自邪魔外道的糖衣毒藥！」642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAa3fpYr8M
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5sMIrShuC
「主人是人，我們也是人，本無高下之分，誰也沒權利去剝奪其他人的權利。」奴壹苦笑，笑自己對牛彈琴。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnPHp61pwT
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAhjYTLeI1
「那麼……」奴貳茅塞頓開，思想一下子躍升至前所未有的層次：「為何我們要在這裡受勞役？」642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulAKeiEBFx
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNGiQXPZUo
砰——砰——除了子彈，二人亦得到管家的答案：「因為你們都是次等的傢伙！」642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnovgj47y2F
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhXYujGvVV
完成任務後，管家回到溫暖的小木屋，享用愛妻預備的晚餐，有稀湯菜莖麵包。相比奴隸們獲分配的爛薯仔，這簡直是佳餚盛宴！飽餐一頓，他心滿意足地擁著妻子入睡。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9Z2uKkOow
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGucdqqgpSI
美夢未完，二人被一陣急促的敲門聲驚醒。門開。數名大漢將應門的二人制伏地上，身穿華服的女奴主這時才踏著優雅的步子入屋：「真骯髒！怎麼會有餿味？」642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ9eI3r3Lo
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08h3MIQtot
「有失遠迎，請恕罪。」管家誤以為自己因待慢女奴主而遭受懲罰，連聲求饒。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MY738Zyt4
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMAAbRrS3P
女奴主沒瞥他半眼，逕自拿起隨從帶來的槍，瞄向管家愛妻的肚子。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8Wul7xcHB
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8Pmi4zksi
砰——血肉橫飛。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T8kksaNwl
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva1mRPZ9u4
「你這次等的傢伙想當二夫人？」女奴主輕蔑一笑，率眾離開，懶理管家在後頭跪別自己的身影。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr955XcjcpY
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkxVndSm4h
甫踏入大宅範圍，女奴主就被召到書房去。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmTQqQ5NfK
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSobvJqNgYr
啪——啪——啪——女奴主已數不清自己捱下多少巴掌，臉頰又紅又腫，嘴角滲血。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0P6bwrh9S
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh9mudXeY2
端坐梳化的奴主一邊看著女奴主被近身隨從摑得面目全非，一邊品嚐高級茶葉沖製的奶茶，純、香、滑。「權，是我賦予你的，不是你本來就有的。你要釐清自己的位置，不要逼我將權力回收。」他的語調間盡是絲絲無奈。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBn5FFyF1B
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUag17S4YQ5
在女奴主將要昏厥之際，一僕匆匆趕到書房來，湊近奴主耳語幾句。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKR9gH7HsZ
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlDS50sfJZ
「停。」奴主叫停了近身隨從，大方地暫緩女奴主的刑罰。「你們待在這裡，好好看顧女主人。我要先處理要務，待會兒才繼續處理次等的。」說罷，他揚一揚手，與近身隨從離開書房，剩下次等的傢伙們在後頭一臉茫然。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzuO68IWLw
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIjcrAf4O8
二人登上馬車，趕至城堡，參見城堡主人——軍機大臣。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTttURTyuzI
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPhG873PbT
大臣沒有理睬來者的假意笑容，逕自與身旁的高貴男子對奴主評頭品足。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IGdptzO4h
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR5D9m3QDc
「鼻子不夠高，眼睛欠缺神采……」642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73f1PKEAXE
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKo5o5aIk0
「北方的暴民遠離首都，只見過陛下的畫像，沒能分得太清楚。該可以蒙混過去。」642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCajPWxirTL
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWfHj6qgfG
「好吧。就用這次等的傢伙吧！」642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47tc0m43fl
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnFJ0KVb84
奴主縱未明事情來龍去脈，卻從言語間感受到無盡惡意和生命危險。奈何他是次等的傢伙，是砧板上的肉，只能任由位高權重的大臣擺佈。在接下來的日子，他在兵士們的保護下，離開南方，前往北方。沿途穿好吃好，致使他被災民擒獲一刻仍然是胖胖白白的，與畫像中的國王有九分相似。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04nvqYfxsc
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4lHvb6ues
五花大綁，拳打腳踢，遍體鱗傷。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpbxWBHg3e
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk7NCBZ3TR
被推上斷頭台的一刻，奴主還是謹遵大臣的命令，沒有承認或否認自己是國王。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgj61OLEeK
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiSfhkQEkA
「或許，只消鼓起勇氣，講出自己的遭遇和真正身分，災民就會立刻釋放我。」他曾有一刻這麼想過，但他沒有這樣做。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNwD7MMJXq
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk93WUQtY0
因為他自覺是次等的傢伙！642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72mNEraknP
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPOj3XLDu0
該為更高貴的人獻出生命！該為更崇高的理念而付出所有！該為更美好的世界而犧牲一切！642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfphzxiMzG
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN9kIeb9Al
突然，一股熱力自胸腔冒起，湧上喉嚨，直衝口腔。熱力化為言語，對著災民，破口而出：「你們這些更次等的傢伙！」642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMOykQu2F1
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqjk39xOKx
鍘——人頭落地。滾、滾、滾，滾到一眾災民腳邊。642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb26IAD9EyQ
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMZdklLrIW
從這角度看來，災民有如巨人，奴主反倒成了地上的泥巴，是無比次等的傢伙。
