他在梳化上猛然醒來。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBjvCJJf8h
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbGrY1EZT6
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxch0g1Wd5
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N1UMVMlV1
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNcwZTQeLx
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OWcEPnxT9
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ejSvw76nh
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wlCFVM3Q1
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LxDFPBdKL
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21pEJyGOjL
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj39YJqWrBn
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SGCYBzRN7
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dbDEBBV8f
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DGi5PFChT
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qLZvW5AyD
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmfib4Gw5Z
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi3Z1XJ7mt
抵不住。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwGuHXvZRM
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfTFK8hOYq
他決定到公園散步。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaXWEH9rDC
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wIgLQYZIr
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJHlkql77F
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWlYDpoHnK
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJD0cTQ6xD
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRBIsYI3X5
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzwMHTRkhi
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRvbqfzltM
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ7cGhIiMa
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQe3Z2OLmo
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrWm37VxPo
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVHDi5Vpmx
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatow9MbWhv
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXTaaxtE5n
他不自已憶起亡妻……286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b6DcMltrl
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gzfyY362x
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxssGleM4Ei
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfCMJIN8TU
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvI3ppctYp
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIEISvdpWC
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKtIojqHed
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEI99moBKv
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOZObSXgMi
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3nosmd0qp
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPOxntPjzH
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqiQSdTbQy
「快了、快了。不用著急！」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqADvKU813V
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8erpElrcQ
「即是何時？」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2HOT1H1kb
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5dWofP0Pr
「下一個夏天。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDkbkb3d5b
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7rakKHMTo
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVPnnCRoM8
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaIkVaxHXf
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuWK18FTMA
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNONjxtfk5V
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7w11Sh1Lw
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc9hUqvcNy
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki2araDtrc
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPQ1UVrklV
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWxSkJk4EZ
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KkLsWBlAo
內心終於安定下來。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NqdUOAjH9
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4feF2CDSZ
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』！」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiwTsYj4kJ
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9lyc0tbzo
「但你的血糖……」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55fD23Tt6U
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax9bk21rZ3
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r63wFCw8P
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETMWCTjOc2
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvCKNEKVFL
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuIbvrVsCk
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDDCeZkBpY
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpQJKqAeri
兒子送她一根拐杖。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ554UdvJtgn
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcBsLGRTUj
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZVUsLpaOB
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdywmYLowHp
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg7HrOpZ1t
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGwPwS97cr
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』！」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FWj72yW49
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdOuyc2cyG
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v13qVsjSk
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGpNswicON
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoEIi8BgkW
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsxbD3DgVU
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriWp10mE2J
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn25Sp3TCt
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQH4pdEUiC
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK9tD6UxmY
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVGb3gC5Nt
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TmqD5gBZd
於願足矣。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkbFA98le6
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ3tbEO2yn
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEiV7I8uuv
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEDIvEbwVO
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ4RCP2gwi
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbud9SkmPXR
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHBYCDxKAQ
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30Io4wLETE
總得走下去，不是嗎？286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S4oiqPEC2
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEovIIjstRT
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4H41nfdW6
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrWp17fEYj
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23vXiGWyCw
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEndvgEjrI
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrffe0mz6Gp
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroCEmDSfaa
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM9YI2jXse
