他在梳化上猛然醒來。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlc5SxZsae
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWOCWmJlDc
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGbU5QYUqr
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTVRKzXgZS
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY2KQLe54I
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYcyfq2Czv
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutnavj7k13
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHlItaNnk5
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPv5Q6iNIV
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsKBxrBf1j
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEfDl7MH1T
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLcSvboqOt
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHMVVmYnVW
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uHqvS1ACX
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNhO0FXpOv
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ4N3NN5pH
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOt5L23EfD
抵不住。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0b1bRVdM6
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaUYL28UiM
他決定到公園散步。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aYwzIrul8
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKn8AvFNTU
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJXLpDbQhW
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKxT09R4tG
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CfipkRVEW
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3akLQvLEXs
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPtthXyboC
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCogVxMZwO
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwuRflR4AU
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ujcF6BMrF
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcGPymS9MG
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0eFUrSFYE
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS2JDPOvQJ
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaYKctYgPq
他不自已憶起亡妻……245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQzcdFr6tl
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8bZCZjH8n
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PAj5JjrUd
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZNgH0wmtr
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPXXzDVmJe
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDFDGtng7E
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLg9Drh1fq
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA61uLdVsd
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOg1FLBIuB
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlnLVzNfNn
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfv9xO5K2p
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4cy8HwFGR
「快了、快了。不用著急！」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xIVM0pKzl
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyYSF914xP
「即是何時？」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg71yy3AUYR
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUGx8mwfxT
「下一個夏天。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRG83RYaHG
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDSVXenIVc
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWqreoah2J
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr4NTnE2B2
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzdiOCc1Sv
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HWBBWtfFQ
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7SL5OyFmN
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD49wcEAW9
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEpuQdoUbU
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NF70k08H1
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt3lt3oSpH
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhyZwQM0Uq
內心終於安定下來。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHCaThX8No
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL3OrYV28W
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』！」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzTgCpv65E
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE87rttqVA
「但你的血糖……」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvblKHCfRHO
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFooPbYaQOA
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtMiaG9fW4
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT4yRN1tJV
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mrlToKT2t
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrQCFLwhC1
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwC1MDRXUQ
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXOhVnA3sM
兒子送她一根拐杖。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOC4Yi2yPk
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOwzzIXwMa
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS59kgkgbA
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgys9158CG
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuiWS3qUu3
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKrmSxscnu
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』！」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5AHClWwhJ
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzmLpJdWJ4
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF6msKZLAk
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj6F2PMbtc
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfMBmGNuFC
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL5iXIXWsM
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY8r0r020M
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ogMqUuU9m
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dukolpMxa
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZvcH8OJbY
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmI50XVqxO
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrs2VKUXKK
於願足矣。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0aEdInMGP
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4VKuT1b3s
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq22IPmfMG1
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrQStqlmNy
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPLFDljFmN
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5alsZe108
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tGWRM4KbE
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMHkZofoA1
總得走下去，不是嗎？245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0H2EIF8O6
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HCyAhjNu9
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEUGERnZs8
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SE0mzGba5
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ4Hx4JEJl
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC9Yssn72g
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSWKz1ul0r
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwIAwPAGdh
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN1WLkxr5Y
