迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFZvWA6iFi
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWp9sxv9mq
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlat2cZZOBD
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxdOByQlcN
杜若四肢著地地爬出櫥櫃，然後回過頭托著紫藤的肩膀離開那片狹小的黑暗。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYJHL1cRee
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYPu9MGjiw
兩人並著肩在階梯旁仰起頭喘著氣，久違地照進眼裡的燈光刺眼眩目，但再怎麼說也比不見天日的黑暗要來得令人安心。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31QT62sQzl
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8iNBd6Wrn
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXQ161a92H
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmWuIrAuZf
就連喘息的時間也如同光明般狹窄，兩人不可能在這再休息到早晨來臨。於是，杜若一感覺到力氣開始回流到四肢時，就起身伸出手牽起虛弱的紫藤。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYCxN7Pa8l
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzuHpIZ4IQ
「走吧。我們一起回去。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVq6Dfw1Qx
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcvXd4rWfL
這麼說了之後，杜若便鑽進紫藤的脅下，用窄小的肩頭努力撐起紫藤向前。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFqh26SnkV
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW5MubtSNH
一路上，兩人就這樣攙扶著彼此，幸運地毫無阻礙便回到了西區。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6UYoV76cP
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjBqMspL0p
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2MU6fUYwm
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkvU0IiNB1
「嗚……！」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxAkG3Roib
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb88aL4oOj
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoSVIBaUuW
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzf9OxMmtQ
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSGxNYa1Gh
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BCi2GiFe3
回到西區的路上，紫藤甚至虛弱到就連話都沒辦法說了。所以哪怕只是一聲也好，杜若也想要聽見紫藤的聲音。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhBkn1CNRh
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZpUq1WvEa
而痛楚彷彿把紫藤的魂給拉了回來，宛如大夢初醒般地看了杜若和手中的棉花棒後，紫藤才喘著氣、略略地頷首。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3x4yVwpCn
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItO8oi7ZLr
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA1pgjylQo
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUGj3N4yxH
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbFhwzLGuz
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1BTyYBWuG
如果不是自己想要聽信墨駒，也不會讓墨駒有機可趁了——但現在後悔也沒有用，照顧受傷的紫藤才是眼下應該做的事。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2lQ6Jp6Qa
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOj5jbiXah
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaJfV5wT5Y
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbU5b50a7S
「呼、呼……嗚——！」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AuK7NtQyu
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmgDSMXQoo
紫藤試著吸氣來緩和疼痛，卻還是沒辦法不吃痛地發出聲音來。清潔並上完藥後，杜若小心地用紗布蓋起那道駭人的傷口並纏上繃帶，原本純白的繃帶立刻就被染成了一片暗紅。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ4PVkAgXr
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEO4XTLmaA
現在只能做這樣的應急處理，等到明天還是得去醫院才行。幸好公用醫療箱裡頭還有這些基本的醫療用品，不然就這樣放著傷口，今晚紫藤恐怕連躺下都會有困難。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdoNS0jUUp
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSo98oAyOt
疼痛過了幾次呼吸才終於緩和下來。杜若拿來水杯靠在紫藤的嘴巴上，讓紫藤小口小口地補充水分。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjbJFEdXG6
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5ANejAJmE
滋潤冰涼地滑過喉間，直到此時、紫藤才終於有種放下心來的感覺。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4viSMKbBPS
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh4taVu0rN
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyLknOrwTF
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvXfu2wIHb
杜若關心的神情就好像是流經喉頭的水那樣沁入了紫藤的胸口。於是紫藤點點頭，再次把嘴湊了過去。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQv20bNM3f
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjFGk2RRat
等到杯子空了、正想伸手擦乾嘴角時，杜若就先一步用手帕抹上了紫藤的嘴角。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRWkjVShRD
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzatEk5Hxuh
「……謝謝。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYyrmVviCF
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvciDdgY3LJ
「不會啦，現在也輪到我照顧紫藤了。」杜若收起手帕，露出了彷彿可以烘乾衣服的溫暖笑容。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0KteBjyu7
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPyK8kyFS6
明明、對方不久前才在自己的面前殺了人，但現在看著杜若的側臉，紫藤卻盡只感到安心跟鬆了一口氣的感覺一湧而上。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEaZTXv6AO
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudaf6doDFA
是自己終於開始習慣了嗎？那時，紫藤的手上就已經流滿鮮血，卻只有砸在墨駒臉上時所沾上的溼黏感格外鮮明。就好像在入睡前的一場夢境，令紫藤感到有些恍惚。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFRfpwoF1R
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2CWerp6SY
不過，這無疑都是事實。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TqcAwvoHE
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIEjDsZJtc
掌心中，那枚墨駒沒能拿回去的、鑲著淡紫色寶石的銀戒就是最好的證據。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT965sCpcJ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqN2rYjMGo
紫藤壓根也沒想到有能夠尋回這枚戒指的一天。對紫藤來說、只受這點傷就找回了它簡直是太划算了。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aR315I8xn
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0WM7pphOq
「紫藤、這個戒指到底是……？」杜若好奇地看著手中的戒指，疑惑地歪過頭。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3kuNnFy6O
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARlON4SafW
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XpSRyFxPE
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZB5wMS4mI
「是我媽媽的遺物。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk2ohoAjr6
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAl9yLpRCf
戒指的內緣刻著一行寫著母親名字的小字，證明了這就是那枚獨一無二的戒指。雖然紫藤對父親沒有任何印象，但母親卻經常以懷念的面容提起關於父親的事情。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCS2Q91iFd
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnC43lWoee
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7GHwwIO8v
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpltOk4glf
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu7lwxWRnn
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9Xz8oSeLn
紫藤從來不曾對同輩的人說過這些事，但現在、紫藤卻覺得讓杜若知道也無妨。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW07bExRyQp
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFyp5QMWuE
「可是媽媽他、就是被沙華會的人給殺死的。」就好像在試圖壓下傷口的灼熱似地，紫藤輕撫著前臂的紗布，緩緩地繼續說道：361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfaGuKIBBa
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG9Ri1Av0E
「小時候，我的媽媽曾經向沙華會借過錢。但最後，媽媽卻因為還不出錢來……而被沙華會給殺了。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVTqk8vzit
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ708oYJUe67
媽媽並不是沒辦法還出錢來，只是在最後一刻、錢竟然被劫走了。紫藤怎麼想都覺得奇怪、為什麼就這麼剛好在那種時候？如今，紫藤認為那一切全都是沙華會的伎倆，他們根本沒有想讓母親還清債務的意思，只想在那一年裡壓榨完母親所有的心力、等到沒價值了就宰殺掉而已。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayPjsSey2m
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn3bUfeA7g
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4j6Hrik5c
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDcFLCjdN4
紫藤至今——至死都不會忘記母親在自己的眼前被殺掉的畫面。年幼的自己只能無力地躲在一旁，看著母親殘忍地被一刀刀殘殺至死。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NX5Y0pJrc
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0yocGA67v
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTYibmYWwL
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eHdPTi0IF
只是，紫藤也從未想過竟然會在途中找到母親生前的遺物，紫藤覺得自己簡直幸運的無以復加。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtjj4vqz4Y
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm48tA2esVY
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtnqX1Jvqx
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fuplOAWlm
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnz0WMZ7Sj
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeP5YImbiO
對紫藤來說，媽媽所留下的東西沒有一個不是珍貴的。無論是這個房間、髮飾、還是這枚戒指，都是媽媽曾經存在過的證明。哪怕再也微不足道，紫藤也想要盡可能地將它們攬在手中。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaKh9pBXaf
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT7HsJbMrw
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWRy08HoZ1
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXtegiCl0v
「紫藤的媽媽是個什麼樣的人、可以跟我說說嗎？」杜若露出了既好奇又害怕冒犯的眼神、試探地探出腦袋。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKysNOLgdI
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPhPd7jZEi
紫藤思考地垂下了眼簾幾秒。而再次睜開眼時，紫藤已經將目光放到了不知遙遠的何處。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCAB5zGbmN
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOoU4lWN8j
「媽媽他——」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06nuJQWyRU
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIr4eaF3lg
以這句話做為開場白後，紫藤便將那些早已被自己翻到泛黃的回憶給拿了出來。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMohJn4X5TU
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofN3PK9i1v
小時候，紫藤最常從街上的大叔大嬸嘴聽到的一句話就是「跟媽媽很像」。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79qpHW1Ic7
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKi6HlKwUH
同樣有著一頭的黑色長髮、話也同樣不怎麼多。而唯一不同的，就是媽媽是個非常堅強的女性，總是用那粗糙而修長的手把紫藤給攬在身後。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPDsEOrBoE
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW02MaLDFi
而媽媽在南區有間小小的、買賣布料的店面，小時候的紫藤最喜歡的就是跟在媽媽後頭一起做生意。儘管有時候會因為笨手笨腳而挨其他大叔大嬸的罵，但那卻是紫藤最為快樂的一段時光。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nqKwYRL6k
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45hHRsZxUX
只是在紫藤逐漸長大後，媽媽卻漸漸不希望紫藤跟著自己，而想要把紫藤託付給學校。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUiT0KaXzI
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6El7lDj7Lq
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdizh5x8pmy
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKB4rIpY89
比起那些吵吵鬧鬧又喜歡惡作劇的小孩子，紫藤更喜歡跟在可靠卻寡言的媽媽後頭，幫忙結帳、整理或是裁剪布料。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas4hb1v8XT
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCJa24ICPw
對當時的紫藤而言，媽媽這麼做就好像是想要把自己給拋棄一樣。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNQgRXZ87t
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDefknaNpe9
於是紫藤頭一次跟媽媽吵架了。那是一場紫藤單方面地對著媽媽出氣的架，從頭到尾媽媽都只是靜靜地傾聽著紫藤的任性，偶爾像在思考著什麼地低下頭來。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fiRZrkpT0
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1svuY7ih6
而在那之後，媽媽就再也沒有要紫藤去上學了。只是摸摸紫藤的頭以後，就像以前一樣，讓磕磕絆絆的紫藤跟在自己的後頭做生意。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gQaznNpao
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBmBWcBN25
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBV3hoW2iY
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzPtq6QySs
然而這樣的日子持續不久。在一個秋天的傍晚、鉛炭鎮發生了一起極其嚴重的意外。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lqh4n60t0
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31s1nfOiOR
那是一起倒塌事件。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTNB7qw3lj
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKUmMG7Esa
由於鉛炭鎮的樓房蓋的十分緊密，因此只要一棟樓倒塌，便極容易引發連鎖效應。那起倒塌事件就現在的記載，足足有將近二十棟的樓房倒塌、傷亡數更是難以記載。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qckinNRC6
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNKL0JDhvA
雖然沒有受到倒塌事件的直接傷害，但媽媽的店面卻因此全毀，讓兩人頓時失去了幾乎所有的財產。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH8DvsynNQ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahJbHKIHJo
那之後就如紫藤所說，媽媽為了生存而選擇向沙華會借貸。在那一年裡，媽媽幾乎從未闔眼休息、只為了賺回損失的財產。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupPHEBVhl0
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JYlDROXS3
那時的媽媽早已面容枯槁。而殘忍地將其心力、金錢、生命盡數奪走的惡意，正是沙華會。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjGzrTSfLg
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYV2sk0n34
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPTTxvTydk
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp0sb5snZb
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjhCD6o1vk
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV0zrncqMh
「然後，殺了他。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYEqQejkt6
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FUJa1g5EM
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAZZxjdtk1
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUYEbMZdnB
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDlIIfT1na
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR83MwGFdB
「可是、我卻下不了手。」紫藤無力地鬆開了手：「不管怎麼樣……我都沒辦法像杜若妳那樣。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKqNiASVoE
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDxWi8SLol
明知道沙華會是惡，紫藤卻無法真的對那群敗類下殺手。也許正是因為那時媽媽遭到殺害的畫面烙印得太過深刻，紫藤才會下意識地抑制著、不讓那副景象再次出現吧。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8c41MB4S2
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06K9pMKix5
而自己的這份軟弱，既沒有人可以幫助紫藤克服，也不會有人能夠理解——除了杜若。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYEtDfiUy5
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr2mQJ74AD
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAlqRn8rvT
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrdB31WiVn
「……嗯。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaYQk710On
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCypdJKFYA
那時見到的杜若是如此純粹，就好像一把剛從水中淬出的刀刃般，不帶著任何一絲污穢。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6KBGUmYmP
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec6yTwEtsX
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw77X2ZbzVA
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuLZl2xXzV
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLataZxKQj4
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpZy2NR0rH
「……杜若妳呢？」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHNi1re3vU
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gXTw4Sf8Y
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NImuYw85m
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6cy2OAMcj
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEPIYbKabG
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDH9txfTyV
剛才、杜若確實說過想要請鎮裡最好的醫生，但杜若看起來並不像是患有什麼嚴重疾病或是殘缺的樣子。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeGtbEkZHe
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQA3sp8v9c
聽見紫藤的疑問，杜若就好像是在思考、也像是在害怕似地垂下了眼簾。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZYyyMgEok
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX5BeIFTDQ
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFh9IJM5JU
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡullDWAwiRL
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F4xW27Hzv
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvToa0CLpq5
但如果是要請醫生，怎麼樣也不會是做不好的事吧？紫藤這麼想著，舉起沒受傷的手摸了摸杜若的頭頂。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj8gfQ5lnj
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SCM3R7Q5K
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAa6XOuk23
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEAAxmjSza
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq99djOhM1H
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWIpeeNeWn
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eyCRIWr62
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDhtvrhi9Q
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafRohVt3LQ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsQyz5yOhV
之前見到陶壺叔確實是在北大街，但陶壺叔本人看上去並沒有多大的病痛呀？361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspJimFJqwp
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNAj5r0siF
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdrf9E6gdT
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKqcLtiAaj
「陶壺叔生的是一種會讓身體漸漸沒辦法動的病。醫生說，雖然現在只有手指，但很快就會變成手、腳、身體……最後是心臟。只要過不了四年，陶壺叔就會被那種病給殺死了。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SmCkeqe1Y
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73OBjLiE8n
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIu80ZiGwf
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQWTNFJR3q
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm1DsaQ17X
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ljq3aSsoO
「我也偷偷問了很多醫生，但他們都說那是一種沒辦法治好的病。明明是這樣，但陶壺叔從來都沒跟我說過、還一直都笑著裝作沒事。直到我不小心聽到其他醫生跟白鵑提到陶壺叔，我才知道陶壺叔一直都瞞著我。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNWhtBoWBN
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrgxsx0kJY
「現在陶壺叔已經沒辦法走很長的路、也不太能拿重的東西了。」杜若的口氣變得哀傷起來，卻也有一份同等重量的不甘心。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2NFEBIH7u
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjJ6GpSO23
「我明明也想要幫忙陶壺叔的，可是、我卻不知道自己到底該怎麼做才好——因為就連醫生都沒辦法了嘛。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7wTkThAaq
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjcQUOJdj3
杜若的笑只看得見無力。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBrW8X3bJc
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEUehdnC1d
「直到有天，狐狸告訴我說她有辦法，但前提就是要幫忙她去殺掉那些人。所以，狐狸才發給了我這把槍、還有手機。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0dqbU7Bf2
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC67FvIsOJ
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAH3JqM1Ym
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxR5iyfY9S
並不是因為仇恨，也不是因為利益，而只是單單地想要為某人而付出。杜若的理由就跟個性一樣是如此單純、甚至令紫藤的胸口刺痛。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTBxmQ2oWB
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKlzCN70Fn
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57qWph76w2
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPsqwrqBDd
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwzPTWnOvX
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwveNMuQgug
如果就連鎮裡最優秀的人都沒辦法了，狐狸又怎麼可能醫好陶壺叔的病？再者，就算殺死的是沙華會的人，讓還只是女孩的杜若去持槍犯險本身就很荒謬。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh0sCGZzqA
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPgxmE7oLY
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhUJ2nKRnX
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2xybbM6u0
杜若笑了。卻讓人分不清那是真的笑容、還是在故作堅強，讓紫藤的鼻子裡無聲地滑過一陣酸楚。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8FfOgPjJa
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2EY4ft153
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScNE7mq0rc
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKiBve8et7
杜若就好像在對自己喊話似地緊緊握起拳頭，但小小的手中、有的卻只有虛無。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMvHERlvWi
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUNWy2NQqu
也許這麼說太過自以為是，但紫藤從這道笑容裡看到的並不是想要相信、而是不得不相信。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV2ny6QXPl
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oUmvQErXs
只因為狐狸的許諾是杜若的最後一絲曙光。所以杜若除了抓住它以外也別無他法——僅僅就只是如此而已。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnpSkIodvT
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhOSGJJJvR
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAMeeNEXcz
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2ptDXBvfR
紫藤也曾望著母親的背影被偽裝成曙光的惡火給吞噬殆盡。但只因為如此，就可以不負責任地說聲「放棄吧」把一切希望給澆熄嗎？361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtu1SRkBlU
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnGqaAVf7W
這怎麼可能。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CkGWChLaq
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VUoiVHyyb
沒有人知曉光芒的後頭是陽光亦或是惡火，但倘若停止腳步、也只會在黑暗消逝。無論是誰，追逐光芒都是與生俱來的本能。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQt0EJBVj8
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL8q2busCq
看著杜若緊握的手，紫藤便不捨地伸出手、略顯生硬地鑽進了那冰涼而纖弱的掌心。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIgxc7ZMco
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUt2HXKJ7j
也許，杜若一直都是握著這樣飄渺晃蕩的希望走來，但起碼現在、紫藤能夠確實地握住杜若。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gef2kDCfS
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL42rsQDdHb
如果杜若前進的方向是惡火，那紫藤就要在最近的地方拉住杜若。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eTlx7QSBO
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJfEvKmJEz
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfsAaMGg10
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49IElTKDBX
轉動手腕、解開五指，那份只屬於兩人相握時的溫熱便從掌心蔓延到了指縫361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw593JGpgr
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0ilYC9AFE
「但就算這樣，我也還是想自己去試試看。」經過短暫的沉澱，杜若再次充滿生氣地抬起頭來。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CPceUSROn
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx0vRPNaMW
「我想只要有夠多的錢的話，也許就可以把大家一起找來、找出能夠馬上醫好陶壺叔的辦法了！」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39AUZKCAf7
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu9eDMGUAO
剛才籠罩著的陰鬱被一掃而空，杜若看著紫藤，露出了開朗的笑容。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cH8S0gZus
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtG1u3oW0H
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqxpFy0GrI
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHMobr5q3y
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmLMRRfMEG
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt8SCiZ6eL
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoAGtPSADZ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlki2sBhHqB
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg88bns1czD
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwpEYAbswu
這問題讓紫藤才想起自己從沒有跟杜若——不、甚至是從沒有跟任何人說過這件事。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l83PvGQfm
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuruzJLqkN
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OnlbF4x29
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0Uyo4KROo
從腦海深處的角落翻出這片景象。那人在殺害媽媽時，紫藤只有一瞬間記下了那個至今都從未看見第二次的特殊紋身。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g7he5Y4MK
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS1pTnAsK1
「沙華會的紋章幾乎都是鮮紅色的、有白色條紋的紋身……我就只見過那麼一次。但不管我怎麼找、那個人卻就好像消失了一樣，再也沒有出現過。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PPw09v0Pg
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X7LAizn79
而唯一有可能知道的墨駒已經被殺了，但紫藤並不感到後悔。比起狡獪的他們，紫藤更寧願靠自己的手去搜索。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPCqY4qcc6
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvIq3dhLRO
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrLFz6qoR8
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYXwLNL2UT
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fEKmeDvHl
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC2EN9GMke
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRcgc2QSu6
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbrV2kJsOE
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQpcBelx0N
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMft9OVjW6A
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDotMYwskZq
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB79ta0p7D6
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHYzAbd8AY
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVsCN5vSTD
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD9xMHN2NB
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s4MWWdoMl
「這本來就是我自己的事。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvagzrlUmf
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUzDIA1JRF
就算杜若能夠輕鬆地下殺手，但自己的復仇跟杜若是兩回事。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrEcZBjBH7
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTaeShFFlk
紫藤很清楚自己的眼前只有惡火。而單單只是殺手的任務就已經足夠危險，杜若根本沒有必要為此承擔這些危險。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9l8FeeIar
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjITRJNJEuz
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhd4msFftE
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZeWecJOLJ
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3LicB4Nnl
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AhhzI3HSc
紫藤明白杜若的擔憂。但紫藤正是為了不讓自己在完成復仇前先被吞沒，才用盡了心力去磨練自己。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe6DmkXoxd
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mCEgOL0o4
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe8EY9Ue1m
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2gRGqGVlC
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpuy5pjaT5
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvDcimoRAk
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen3NVSzWWI
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbt8qIraYE
看見紫藤一副無所謂的模樣，杜若更是焦急到話都說不清楚了。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GcC13GsXE
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYCatiz3Ck
紫藤沒能給出杜若期待的回應。卻還是於心不忍地輕握住了杜若的手。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGOMVTnri5
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0JvFOPNbn
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdX05CTrF3
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorRPW91Ney
「明明、明明紫藤也硬是摻進了我的事情，現在卻又說這種話、這樣真的太不公平了……」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbcSYS5bZI
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48CjmHclpm
杜若像個鬧彆扭的孩子一樣發起脾氣，但鬧彆扭的人卻總是最認真的。也因此，紫藤才無從反駁。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCJCDKoBs6
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BIEDZgQE5
是啊，明明就是自己先不講理地要杜若帶著自己的，這樣又有什麼資格拒絕杜若呢？361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhelkPXFHsH
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j8JU7U3OU
但就算不公平也好，紫藤之所以握著杜若的手，絕非是要杜若陪著自己跳進火海。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynw8NYTcKH
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrspeREV3X
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDk6FweTDD
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9646O6RHx
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUojexUulaP
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0imPz5dTE
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC9FdWJZlb
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx5hqQkzUQ
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyPcu3NQO0
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATA2cbePuW
在八年前的那個夜晚、紫藤也是那樣地看著母親被一刀刀殘殺致死——明明注視著、卻什麼也做不了的無力是多麼令人痛苦，紫藤比任何人都還要明白。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmYdd43wBk
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuP1x8GCbm
杜若也正是因為這樣的痛苦，才選擇了這條看似荒謬的道路。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp58701N2z
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vTPmkqwYf
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElioFlRWJJ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuxt4oiPqv
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNjvVMZyGc
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaYGd4FxLI
看見杜若受傷，自己會感到痛苦。而看見自己受傷，杜若會感到痛苦。然而若是因此什麼也不做，又有誰能夠替枉死的母親報仇雪恨？361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBTac3ebIc
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUipTp9UhP
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AqZUF6zc3
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGkcaEm7Ne
如今，在這條路上有個願意走到身旁攜手並進的人，又為何不欣然接受就好？361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2KrdylbpY
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqQEEmfXvo
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujupJe7vXq
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXDvnaprgV
但、當初不就是因為明白自己沒辦法獨自走完腳下的路，所以才會自顧自地跟在杜若後頭不是嗎？361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZgTXbXYp1
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOXJv9grZ3
如果說想要把什麼東西給握在手裡、就免不了被刺出鮮血。那麼起碼受傷的方式可以交由彼此來抉擇。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXK9c1cFfC
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10N5dfnU2H
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUHNMWeT4O
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBPHBuKlsJ
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvekTf2eBw
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0TiZtQMRK
紫藤不帶一絲玩笑地注視著杜若的雙眼，而看見紫藤的神情，杜若才終於破涕為笑。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDglHUXYUZ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdobKUWVzEQ
「可是，紫藤會保護我的吧？這樣我的份不就用不到了？」杜若歪著頭反問。然後扣緊了紫藤安放在腿上的手。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFBEiZeaSy
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Aok85rPVv
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYsDiLPt7r
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9ROJjTgjJ
紫藤雖沒有點頭，卻還是回望著對方微微笑，回握住指縫間的柔軟。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI44JcvlXn
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC02y5DPmq5
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM5hKOcdBD
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQM3XXB6FT
頭一次看見紫藤的笑容，讓杜若欣喜地舉高手，卻不小心拉起了紫藤負傷的前臂而使紫藤臉色一緊。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpXRPMg8HU
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJpPu7WQpa
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2BbhtpyKs
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK2DotP3Dv
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX9bEPP5a6
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5JlWtaPM6
「……對了！」這時，杜若突然靈機一動地眼神一亮：「不知道可不可以請狐狸幫紫藤找找看呢？」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kopv22XGa
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMRBHPQjPN
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWKKjx81jm
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqgLbd9mPe
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjdtisdrzg
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz7LYjZZBh
應該說如果那個狐狸不擅長，就不可能精確地知道目標的出沒地點與時間吧。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjwvMpf1Yn
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9263WIjHS
紫藤確實沒想到這個方法——不，更應該說是刻意忽略掉了才是。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuJUPbJSPY
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiQ8nx3cBQ
紫藤還是沒辦法相信一個就連臉都沒見過、還讓杜若做這麼危險的事情的人。把這樣重要的任務託付給對方真的妥當嗎？光是想的就有種不踏實感。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IxfmDQGvD
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKL0QPZkr9
不過，如果那個狐狸願意幫忙，也許真的會是一大助力。比起自己的脾氣，不是更應該去想要怎樣才能早一步替母親報仇雪恨才對嗎？361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhalvKI7DLq
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmMuALbkMP
自己尋覓這麼多年來都毫無所獲，而現在就有一個或許能夠跨出一大步的機會，又怎麼能夠放棄？361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVDVcEuDIZ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hBgadhW7r
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPUwRrls8H
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEy7IDv450
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHsdapCqPr
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNRxdcTnqR
就在這時，紫藤注意到了杜若的手肘與膝蓋上也有著斑斑的擦傷。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8CJeuiHP5
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchQi6j1HBh
是被墨駒踢倒的時候撞上的吧。雖然不比紫藤嚴重，但印在杜若柔嫩的肌膚上、還是格外叫人心疼。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzla5kFMKl
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVv68zg93H
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQYxETCEt8
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5NPhPQgnv
被紫藤一說，杜若才發覺似地看了看自己的傷，露出一派輕鬆的笑容。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQobWWoQbN
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LwBVGlt8O
「我這點傷才沒事啦～」說完，杜若從醫療箱裡頭翻出了幾條止血貼布遞給紫藤。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlgmhUC0Av
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsB4JGnln0
「貼這個應該就可以了。紫藤就幫我一下吧。」說完，杜若也爬到床上坐到了一旁。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7b0KkESIz
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMBbM1Kd6A
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ590i6j3e0D
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo91DFUeNt
「動作不需要太大，沒問題的。」慢慢地撕開膠帶後，紫藤往杜若受傷的手肘上貼去、神情專注。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEAQTrgIwa
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0twqppbBl
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kxRWgwxxX
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNll9bVJi1d
輕輕撫平皺起的部分，紫藤這才發現杜若一動也不動地盯著自己。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq35G7kA1R
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl2ediWME8
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEoWWVMDfP
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL2k7osE5R
「唔嗯、沒有呀。」盯得出神的杜若這才回過神來地搖搖頭，靦腆地說道：361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg6goXtv2b
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRSgNx1C5x
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBG6sn9o5W
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrPkXrcKEB
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpkg8QxiG8
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡholwaZndo0
在道場偶爾也會有人這麼稱讚紫藤——儘管紫藤從不這麼覺得——但明明是同樣的誇獎，為什麼從杜若的嘴巴裡說出來感覺就是不一樣呢？361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cCSSih3SA
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEdfO1oYdW
「我、我……」不知道該怎麼回應的紫藤搓著發熱的耳朵，無所適從地左右張望，最後才低下頭、用著連自己都快聽不到的聲音悄聲地說了句：361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX3GsRCz95
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2elsEGAixS
「謝謝……」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEuTxy3zAI
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToDXHQ7yZt
「嗯？」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaBss7VvZs
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN8LqG2V8I
「沒、沒有……！」紫藤彷彿像要掩飾過去拉高音量，匆忙地接著說道：「比起那些、還有膝蓋的傷……！」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAwxT1YY5f
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHNWvawCil
杜若雖然有些不明白，卻也覺得今天表情豐富的紫藤很有趣，就沒有多問、聽話地打直了雙腳。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewsHfJh0bl
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SRoUhB3Od
杜若的膝蓋上仍沾著一些汙血，那道傷口印在上頭就好像是件純白禮服上的爛泥一樣顯眼——但就算沾上了爛泥，氣質本身也不會輕易改變。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoBqPWCvhx
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7PKyseUkg
雖然怎樣也稱不上是修長，但杜若的腿卻讓紫藤不禁想到了幼貓那短巧可愛的前腳，讓人忍不住想要伸手捏個一把。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXofweOZuS
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs28BljfoIA
不對不對、現在可不是做那種事的時候。不要再想些不正經的事了。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFfihprftU
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvGWr7y8pL
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2MRVFKSO5
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgykCM5gJN
「這樣？」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjmx7Fjmlu
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHVufP4Im4
為了不讓自己再胡思亂想，紫藤支吾地說。一會才終於定下心來把貼布貼上了膝蓋的傷口。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ892WMxoU
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW4k0qNl7c
「……嗯！這樣就可以了吧！」杜若點點頭，滿意地打量著自己手上腳上的貼布。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzZ0Widsia
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LcqbZL394
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47C6xZPjX3
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUEhhDojMK
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVEMt3brO0
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeIPHSo2oV
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2CJxzPp45
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLgqk01IaK
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxEV5nizmI
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wwH55irzh
「唔、嗯……」杜若好像沒聽清楚似地，只把頭點到了一半，便默默地垂下眼簾。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPIhgevP0M
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub1IrbdbOf
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RFQkXRnMb
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FxZ1UZvck
但杜若沒有做出回應，只是像在思考般地沉默了一會後，才撓撓頭髮抬起了頭來。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLr6st2KOM
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoGtOWMVOX
「沒有……沒事的喔！」杜若再次露出一如往常的笑容：「再不睡覺的話明天又要遲到了！還是趕快把東西放回去，然後好好洗澡睡覺吧！」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKc89zI7fM
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAojPEOv6GQ
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgyLwbuY9d
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTfuHgy7df
回來後、在淋浴間前，兩人看著彼此身上的一塊塊包紮，忽然察覺到了什麼而尷尬地笑了。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a5goM6XBn
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT2vlckTGU
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF9J9Vdwn5
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV98Ow6rmnK
「……只能用擦的了吧。」紫藤望向手上一大片的暗紅紗布，洩出了一聲嘆息。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiAeu2CBeL
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW3PKcuyom
雖然天氣還很炎熱，用擦澡倒也不會著涼，但紫藤現在只有一隻手，想要擦去全身的溼黏感實在是難如登天。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMQ9rl5rsS
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUhpFFr9pp
杜若也察覺到紫藤有苦難言的模樣，於是悄悄地湊到了紫藤的一旁。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLGw6J32l3
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHRNpEbHqc
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlErUiqnYR
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQrPMXx6YV
起先紫藤還沒聽懂杜若的意思，但看著杜若站到了自己和淋浴間之間，紫藤才瞬間紅了臉頰。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlkhdyHig2
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvqC8kIlfe
「我、我自己來就可以了……」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQF41lpVjR
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWIHUDfiI5
在外頭、紫藤光是露出手臂以外的皮膚都會感到有些憋扭了，更何況是和人坦誠相待，即使是杜若——不、正因為是杜若，紫藤才更在意這點。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge8InX6sAa
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxGjBKchES
終於，在簡單擦去一身的灰塵與汗濕後，兩人才可以好好地關上燈休息。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWaSY8qZEM
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8CsYeTajd
房間沉入一片黑暗。而在這片熟悉的黑暗當中，卻多了道不同的吐息。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEgpMFfjna
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLwxvH09b0
明明昨天還沒有這麼明顯地感覺到杜若的存在，現在紫藤卻能夠清楚地感覺到對方的呼吸拂過臉頰。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfsulVJqmP
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIkLCFtc20
因為說好了，所以剛才也讓杜若用了跟自己一樣的沐浴乳。和草草擦乾污痕的紫藤不同，剛沖過澡的杜若身上香得不可思議。那宛如水果混合了奶油的甜香挾帶著專屬於杜若的微暖體溫，光聞著就令紫藤的胸口發癢。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVUoiuaUrj
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvLrl3Magi
明明是一樣的東西，為什麼用在杜若的身上味道就是完全不同呢？361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZP3waa21C
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb04t33yI0
「……紫藤。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypbORZwOpF
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nPbjk5a1c
「怎麼了？」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5EiMw5kiu
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRcriibviI
就在紫藤兀自思考時，杜若用著像是隨時會消失在黑暗中的細小聲音、輕聲地喚了紫藤。而在紫藤回問後，杜若沒有馬上回答，只是輕揪住紫藤的衣領，向前挪動身子。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEoWX2Nca2
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM0wmDrLJi
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DWfudJGr2
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIp8UPmXRw
那是躲在櫃子裡頭時紫藤為了安撫恐慌的杜若，而下意識脫口而出的承諾。也許是四周的黑暗、讓杜若又想起了那時的感覺吧。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRzkOfqSqQ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz87OebDELV
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRIjrHytkK
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcZ411wioC
就連明天，紫藤都不知道自己是不是還能夠像現在躺在這張床上了。那又何況是更遙遠的以後呢？361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvO18H9lQ1
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLsO1peTWY
這世上難以實現的事情多如繁星，即使是伸手能夠觸及的光芒，也不乏混濁的惡火，而自己選擇的前路更是如此。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZyTBsURG4
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbpUi83qZs
既然難以實現，那就不該給予承諾。面對再也單純不過的杜若，這樣的輕浮是種殘酷。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoHaoyEZZf
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMWgm7l9t9
可是要是因此就什麼也不能夠承諾、什麼也不能夠相信，不也是另一種殘酷嗎？361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o1ZwbX0Hr
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZCTB7eehP
確實，紫藤不能夠保證前路的光明不是槍口的閃焰，也不能夠成為驅趕黑暗的陽光。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeKbJs9fau
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqGBFecIFe
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q9aXBvifv
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0yV2jQrw0
無論腳下的是光明還是黑暗，只要紫藤還能夠伸出手，就不會讓杜若握起的手中僅有一撮虛幻。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwPxN7bPGr
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIgROqmT2r
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCWnMghgbu
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwZRFwY8GR
「……我會試著做到的。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu69aNGPNs
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdP5dtKfgf
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIAvUTkXaP
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAqziP2D9u
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmLlqaqbUD
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm38p2ig582
不給紫藤辯解的餘地。說完，杜若就這麼微笑著闔上眼，沉沉地往夢鄉走去。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91Ij13qitv
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3QkRRQC7k
窗外打進的微光逐漸照亮紫藤的視野，杜若雪白的髮絲在輪廓的邊緣透著薄光，就宛如隨風飄逸的紗絹一樣。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCmwClXoXB
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1FNLYrVyF
從呼吸聲聽來，杜若大概是在睡著時就會蜷起身子的類型——就連這點也跟貓很像啊，紫藤不禁調侃地想。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtnYe5hcKu
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VlJX2ECxo
疼痛令紫藤沒辦法把杜若給攬進懷中，但紫藤卻仍湊近了身子，把那道溫熱的呼吸給小心地挨近胸口。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9uHMDNykT
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qACH3n4tK
而杜若只是既像在回應、又像在撒嬌般地發出一聲夢囈，把身子更加地縮了進去。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNnpZCyDWw
