他在梳化上猛然醒來。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUNY83vsgn
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4SDHkhs7Y
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVucsTiZsFZ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8QeHGzwYL
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx08CZyLxP
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3YBYW5Y2n
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGZmN6RKLn
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynhBDyGq3o
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14OFA8vqJX
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBqgSnzZfS
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9E6SWcYdC
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpsdUdglou
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9DWlIREhY
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC88yz06HN
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYOB3df1vr
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqQex9vVi9
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDy0i1HM5P
抵不住。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3ijkNpS8S
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlBIKJ42AA
他決定到公園散步。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MOyYrgKZY
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo6aG00z9l
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6xlmRpFAm
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x7MplqiQc
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR2G93TDeP
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSHNDK4Euf
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjImmHNfwB
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMooHGeUdk
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSaq1dyvnp
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpaeLxguUU
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3llC8waeAf
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp0100Mrxc
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z2LQZEHxE
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAEqrHxesh
他不自已憶起亡妻……249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vg74tpxjb
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2OFxXUI0r
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAALzWWQtMm
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OkHUhBXBz
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vugnSj9Uw
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX35YUyXSrg
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5maGLXwlU
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo0hhDu7pz
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuqqawN8Hg
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnDfvUgCIv
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6arHFWNCB
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCyXnoJdA7
「快了、快了。不用著急！」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqGpys6mFU
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQhI0Fefml
「即是何時？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim2YabudFp
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Av3Mu2Dgu
「下一個夏天。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMhhhlzkOT
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnfPLOs2Rt
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlikZxl5aFO
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHgPTMbTS4
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOA3tTaUPu
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOP61hYdm9
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasu751Wd56
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTryEHl1j0e
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ0lFDFXMX
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfSoO3PsIs
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfK134jwzF
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAopzLXkhh
內心終於安定下來。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCYoQMBvYR
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43F5eGugqx
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』！」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB5MWqoKvd
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenhbLAi7yU
「但你的血糖……」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYVjjbLI6o
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdBItySvbs
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU72JNixMdp
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMg97SxH86
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS49dMVdjU
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjkqgL7VV5
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NdyIUEhnT
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSstY27BgBL
兒子送她一根拐杖。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDWmKzdtjm
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa566yVRVF1
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UAte76vlY
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglSkvfdFjs
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRmijGiqJc
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBkHQervVQ
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』！」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeFijTOr0O
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpLswiQy76
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sNdJMF4pO
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcGclxHcxG
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr9EgYANqZ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPiXYZlaiy
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzMvdmWf1u
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bqbn65Rmd
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUdglCkpvo
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBaph8zjH4
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefk8n3ny33
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis2FBfH1W1
於願足矣。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UFrR1SWSu
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu2hlnGahv
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jZNNv5AjH
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzKDdAAErc
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T8BAfHSyW
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ57odCc6Le
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0TOxmAz3Z
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpoYRvNxUM
總得走下去，不是嗎？249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LGd1RllLF
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyvu24qTB8
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3VbaNi0ZO
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvbi69PyOD
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRWwAHNYVe
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciqNgpK8XL
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDNFLvFXzr
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf50hlU9Fkp
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvLr7QVZWJ
