他在梳化上猛然醒來。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBJSsgjaUP
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG6n8Fd66n
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。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx55IhJsy6
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVWWMdqIrj
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。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0tJ4JjUY2
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutY75vJKd0
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。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6OYNXWvXs
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHHrp2qT1T
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。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jxgOWtWkA
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM60Xofk4l
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUCt38k7R9
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjDPPJERzC
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA2Zdt7Mon
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcam3JZuB8p
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTvVu27PNg
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS5mcws8sx
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFY4DsZfcy
抵不住。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQfWkh7ZeD
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDItYwUprRT
他決定到公園散步。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaoBdHI0ZT
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2Hxlt2drM
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eBqwISPk7
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwroQUjcZKt
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。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWeIVzl5Mc
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxXsdvvdXF
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。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTvOZTYqzh
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzqjeEWpuK
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYshWUhHwj
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9DpGPcw0X
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlISYm2JWI
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3Ri6MXvDh
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86bzmUaZNA
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfcVbY9dBO
他不自已憶起亡妻……197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1DRKkPewY
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTeq2uijh5
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。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqtH4ZaN5J
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco7RnBHoFL
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98cq8hL7hn
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aYDTxy68f
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4eVNH16Ha
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC3cYJp4N8
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVIeDYrzKi
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k5cMki4KO
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHObSwyvmYJ
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80oK9m0M3K
「快了、快了。不用著急！」197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRjsUATCtk
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTijFCHOWXK
「即是何時？」197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq9IwUuYIX
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstjU9vCIlJ
「下一個夏天。」197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v4FtFMb6G
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeUu1xvcBQ
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。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEShUTP1sRB
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBGrxdAPjU
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw6iDO79gX
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ727yG8Saam
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy5dNLB51r
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOypCRAkhpy
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDFz1Y6w2q
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3BYzvonRK
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。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfbS4Dp4lZ
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh5LOYnNIN
內心終於安定下來。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS8Iy6fgpw
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFAwsv3VTt
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』！」197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7Qx3ZkC8j
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GYj9JhUNv
「但你的血糖……」197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fZ4vqctqQ
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEoFI9lzPU
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecSd5Esr18
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCraoTd9qd
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENEeQHlSWz
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E903HvufE
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。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zZ0A7FLCM
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBUiJsdChc
兒子送她一根拐杖。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVf5VV0gm9
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgf9Wf2DuR
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。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ApP0Rk8To
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsrmpGsnaT
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。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKlnrVZD6Y
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5JESlax9i
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』！」197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WhOqlJ37r
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6syOgU3dd
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。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBurl7BV4w
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec2ZJOTHv4
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。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOeoULgVyP
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx9pktlH6a
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。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbi8yUqfCX
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zB7jnP7M9
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpz8xHSMvx
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHdX6BRDU4
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。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzWiuPBv2m
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5AjhcfPYq
於願足矣。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsEu7OsG2F
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeahflYLLp
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbnDOrPtRk
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRANgNzisX
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S5tXNYl8E
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3oKxE9zMN
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNRg172zAg
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPyth8P1Fw
總得走下去，不是嗎？197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2ZteyIQa0
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IIzXjfS24
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgoVeZaktT
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BM6tow3Tb
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jedMHHyh7
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgcvEIKaMe
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtzovEP3Kk
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m1zQZET62
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X2isZl5HS
