他在梳化上猛然醒來。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MUNyfHB8t
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyYtPKEeKn
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。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HNfsvPIo5
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPValAv6Grw
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。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnJVy6C8gI
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LeHM2OhyL
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。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yHUOwyqEW
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX64HVeFxci
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。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SVdWXVLjB
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgDyIkk3wV
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecANHJOi2z
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm6g1ItGzv
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMuRnd5MPe
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RsvJ6ROj7
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVFooYlVR1
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2t0g9iLKM
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtataaP8EQC
抵不住。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBM9X0CpuS
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMatZuCbPaL
他決定到公園散步。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfM4rp4YxL
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQfupc3QuW
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0BJY8whbX
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHtUtNJ0gD
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。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5Tbxp6eo5
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTWsLx4DFh
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。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2HzUFyGwb
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOMijWqfO6
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSYhzIfByS
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn3n5kSSt0
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHIqrY7GRI
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnNEnzgLqD
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HFmbhzFBj
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3l4zwvOaX
他不自已憶起亡妻……248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivD0sTMQv0
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5bEzx23Ws
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。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTd3ZnvWIV
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDgK3UOoCz
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt1DvAvyqP
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBRv2kcOd0
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH5B9MddK3
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba2fyvwlsl
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLz0qHFTju
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh77G9o6PC7
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCeRUk2Osm
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC6clgmxk4
「快了、快了。不用著急！」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSIIg5krzB
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUAvjEl5Na
「即是何時？」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLl47bdQM1
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajmlkpTNeE
「下一個夏天。」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyqJLNnfrL
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mNoOzpJFv
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。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhnwJwxFwR
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvlWhNj2ua
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBVCyc0aQO
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7YxnbGb0G
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzHX0JVs32
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfJWZ7ttJv
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwuMDAAGX0
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSxV2JDuYy
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。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvkXU8NiWv
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qa12NJpYG
內心終於安定下來。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5Oo1Fslza
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK3UB4ICTY
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』！」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BntErJqzM
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer8npDWhjy
「但你的血糖……」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiAPQlrjoW
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLF2D0ja48
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN2odOukIc
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKz5OpHBra
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJCDjyRqa1
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCEptOw92K
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。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN3ByCejFJ
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWzMfiVUH5
兒子送她一根拐杖。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpCw5vzCbJ
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7AxIclDU5
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。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrRoFtZd4p
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0LpRyOvvu
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。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQfjXRIa1A
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ogbhne2HP
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』！」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQssb13hB5
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvOQeYrche
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。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzCM4xzoUQ
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB3TsgJN44
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。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfi0eUqPzh
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgZxeUIhoS
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。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVKfacPyWO
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrB0qsRktU
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAN4xiLgd3
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7UNWvCHfU
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。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehPYvQClvD
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrraGjUj9E
於願足矣。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ5VJ2TNPo
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqKgVcs5jv
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM03j2Qh58e
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHtx9vhcBI
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssHYOUUt82
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzWfKugsPv
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pjl7DATRf
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2JWqVrcT4
總得走下去，不是嗎？248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4u9o5tmwv
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnew2zEqhf
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbBHf05ggZ
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9D8WpBXU0
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyFIX55ykm
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUHlcCqMB1
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIE6wPqFpY
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNLbSkgjFl
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMSMLjTMF6
