傍晚過後油麻地的人潮漸漸熱鬧起來，一群群慕名而來的遊客，看著地圖正在找尋旅遊書上的景點食肆。情侶說著笑經過，一邊分享著一串魚蛋。老婦在路邊堆著紙皮箱，大漢忙著開檔擺賣。大大小小的地道食肆，把這條橫街照得比白天還要光亮。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRtkc2A29Z
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIqaENeSOs
想著想著，小羽不經不覺走到天后廟對開一個俗稱榕樹頭的公園。平日晚上這兒只有小貓三四隻，今晚竟然擠湧得像假日的羅湖口岸。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53yCWt9IEX
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7TyKzbK7C
雖說自由街旅客迫爆香港，但這也太誇張了吧...559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XI0V4bIMt
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFk6DYsjwk
這裡的人群聒噪不安，甚至有種緊張的壓迫感。公園的氣溫比大街涼了一截，小羽剛才還微微冒汗，現在雙臂都結起雞皮疙瘩。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl27mLmEcR
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK2nU9bv6S
「請大家保持秩序，多謝合作。」一個像是保安員的男人來回巡邏，他應該是跟這群怪胎遊客一伙的，提著個白色紙燈籠，用另一隻手敲著報更的小銅鑼。若然小羽不是在廟街看見他，定會以為這保安是個倒夜香的打更佬。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv864Nn9ZMF
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAnQbJB30i
小羽受不了那邊的奇怪氣氛，轉入很多江湖術士擺檔的睇相街。幾個外藉遊客還在拍照留念，正想坐下來光顧。一名叫盲炳的瞎子相士猛地抬頭「望望」小羽，忽爾又閃閃縮縮別過頭去；旁邊一檔用鳥兒占卜的店，竹籠子內的金絲雀側著頭，似是正在讀桌上的馬經...559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFmTlMeTI7
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXkqbxBCpq
「吱...六場...吱吱...位置連贏三號搭七號啦...」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU2gqOKgUY
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiXDvX5J97
位置連贏三搭七？559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumO6sQsd0Q
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozrZ24vweN
小羽回頭，剛才那聲是雀的叫聲嗎？她好像聽到牠在說人話！鳥兒目光迎上了小羽，忽地跳回籠內暗角，裝作若無其事，然後用翅膀在那圓圓的鳥頭抹一把汗。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif7t8o1vOA
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdIVFg8dwc
「痴線...我定是思覺失調了... 」小羽自言自語。
她望著整條小巷的攤檔，全都寫著「流年運程、看相、睇掌、摸骨」之類的招牌，可是沒有一間聲稱可以聯絡上死人啊。小羽正猶豫應該向那一間店求助，一個胖嘟嘟的太太走過，袋裡提著一大卷白紙。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRPvmvfLBl
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTfVcpgOTq
這不是剛才購買式神的大嬸嗎？559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrADdwuarE
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ36lMNFuVM
太好了。小羽偷偷尾隨著這個來歷神秘的大嬸，或許可以找到點頭緒。說實在的，這大嬸除了剛才說了些貪狼呀、牛頭馬面呀之類瘋言瘋語以外，她行為舉止似乎與一般師奶無異。只見她直接走進那個盲炳相士的小檔座上，再在口袋掏出幾個銅錢。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp7JTh5Bxh
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUx4MH4O24
「盲炳，我想要幾道平安符。」那太太似乎和盲炳挺熟絡：「那班人怎麼搞的？一開關就一窩蜂似的湧過來陽間。難道他們不怕被人類發現嗎？」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONWc9oQHQ8
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhgYU5VN4I
「你說天后廟外那班鬼魂嗎？沒關係，香港本人外地遊客就很多。多一兩百隻鬼混進來，應該也沒有人發現。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBzHUhxaTW
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC24mF7h6U
「是嗎？陽人真遲鈍。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP7qJZzw8y
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIMz082PjX
「而且啊，一年才一次免簽證過來陽間，一定把握機會囉，說不定會有鬼魂過來走水貨。」盲炳調大風扇的風力，一面說下去：「要是我住在靈界的話，老實說，我也會趁鬼門關大開這個月過來避避風頭。聽說修羅那邊內戰到連大名太子都要逃亡、高棉和暹邏又宣佈交戰，搞不好可能會牽連到九龍水都這邊。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G0969HOb9
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1VKUcmn2d
「唉...」那太太憂心的道：「靈界打仗、陽間又有怪獸...這年頭吶，沒有甚麼地方是百分百安全了。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREXZPibgwn
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQwZ4078wF
「怪獸？甚麼怪獸？」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S8l1fvHLL
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPZwVRp5MC
「貪狼嘛。剛才呀，連陽間的電視台新聞都報導了最近無端端心臟病發作死去的人，忽然間多了幾十宗，還誣掐說是甚麼空氣污染造成的。」那師奶一打開話匣子，就像沒打算離開似的：「我看吶，那根本就不關那些工業廢氣的事，而是有野生的貪狼跑到民居了。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrFKJwnGjC
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoe8Kq6VTk
「唉...不是吧...」盲炳點點頭，一副維園阿伯的抱怨腔調：「黑爺白爺都退了下來之後，我這些小巿民只可以自求多福了。一代不如一代，現在在酒場活躍的死神都是群沒出息的小鬼頭，連小小的委託任務都辦不好...」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYWn4zp0FQ
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNDWsfEUSS
肥太太壓下聲線，望到站在後面不遠處的小羽，開始起疑心：「你還是別亂說了，我也得早點回去試一試剛買的保安用式神。我最怕就是安裝這類家庭電器，讀那些說明書可把我悶個半死。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbV9Jtq2gH
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnl63io8zb
肥太太收好平安符，急步離開了。臨別還偷望一眼小羽，就像怕這女孩會向甚麼死神打她小報告一樣。
小羽才懶理大嬸的目光，一瞬間坐在盲炳的對面。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23rMegNaeb
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWqiK7wdiv
「歡迎光臨，本座是廟街第一生神仙。問家宅、自身還是姻緣，找我就對了。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1cRrTKhcK
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTAHLzR73T
「盲炳師傅！」小羽拍一聲把她那裝滿十元廿元紙幣的紅包拍到枱面上：「我要找我的哥哥，無論如何都要。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmA8hZuz00
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w7tyfijQ0
盲炳側起頭，好讓其中一隻耳朵聽得清楚一點：「不好意思，妳哥哥在哪裡？」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TSvk4lAtm
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD9xSFVoo5
「他死了。突然心臟病發死了。」小羽叉起手，斬釘截鐵的說：「會不會是你們這幫人口中那隻貪狼怪物做的？」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1zFf5DGoL
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzUIaD8tuz
盲炳聽罷縮了一下，似乎沒估計得到這個小顧客會說這些事。「甚麼怪物？我不知道，我不知道。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoAn1lMNtY
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FN46WomQV
「你知道的。」小羽怎會給他耍開。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevrhGZU1nI
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jg40ElM4V
「小姑娘，妳在哪兒聽說的...」盲炳明明閉上雙眼，卻下意識地左右瞄了一下，用手背掩著半邊嘴巴低聲說：「我們...不可以隨便說關於靈界的事吶。要殺頭的！」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlVD8hkChi
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkBYzhP1B8
「我只想知道，到底怎樣才可以聯絡上我哥哥。」小羽靠前身子：「我懷疑他沒有死。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqxJmdrCTR
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGKbd8hnSj
「他要是真的給貪狼看上，他一定是凶多吉少。」盲炳答得閃閃縮縮：「要是妳堅持想聯絡他的話，可以試一下街尾那檔扶乩...可是吶，貪狼會把靈魂吃得乾乾淨淨，哪有靈魂會回來透過扶乱傳話。又抑或...」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WFSA2Uz0H
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXT5DRTsu4
「抑或甚麼？」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPeydw4COV
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulHo9HVc9P
「或者妳可以先試一下，趁他七七四九夜回魂夜的時候，先人還未上路，回家在靈前恭上清香一注，靜靜等他。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqIZU4T5FC
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGrmPOFClF
「就這麼簡單？」小羽半信半疑。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4zQmfPUHW
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6vEuAWQOT
「就這麼簡單，這要視乎妳兩兄妹緣份。」盲炳搖搖頭：「不過死者已矣，別抱太大期望。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyTkxC7xha
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr25bwtWdyD
回魂夜...那就是今晚吧！小羽腦袋空白一片，跟盲炳說句再見，仿如裝了彈簧般站起來。大街傳來車輛駛過的噪音，隔壁靈鳥占卜的老闆調高收音機賽馬消息的聲浪：559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd4sKe21bZ
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09yD0M1GtW
「第六場千六米中途賽，第一名是三號的跑得快、第二名是七號的馬將軍...位置連贏三拖七派彩一千三百五十元...」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21bdOMNdxc

位置連贏三拖七？559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF5SgArCnW
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qlo8Xupig
占卜店老闆把一顆長滿蟲的士多啤梨放進竹籠，笑眯眯用指頭搔搔枱面上的金絲雀：「乖孩子...」金絲雀叼一口昆蟲，以尖銳的嗓音，清楚明白的說了一句：「說好的雀女呢？」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiPUZt0QEt
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLruEzKqWiC
「沒問題沒問題，我明天就去雀仔街給你挑。」老闆笑意更濃，決定今晚提早收拾檔攤，回家開支洋酒慶祝。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdYAez96lj
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLyE5NZX7X
小羽呆呆的站住，天空飄下來幾滴粉末般輕細的雨水。她摸一下哥哥送給她那對紅色緞帶，感受著胸口那規律的心跳。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0qKo2a1IN
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJLCifLmy7
這不是夢。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NapbgrnSW
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3SE8qpS3X
這是個她認知以外的現實世界！
***
小羽回到家門前，深呼吸一口氣，壯壯膽子。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ymB4y5uhs
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLozUcYRlZ
依據盲炳的說法，哥哥好有可能在今晚大刺刺的在家裡出現。說不定一打開門，那懶蟲就大字型的伏在梳化看電視。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOImEZs6cYp
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgghoExNdwf
好吧，再想也沒用。死就死，進去吧。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJveHZG0ZE
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgIOsHYzcU
這是棟二百五呎見方的小單位，沒有房間，一所淺木色的雙格床就放在方形摺枱的旁邊。平常黃炏就睡著上格，小羽睡在下面。女孩子比較多雜物，差不多整張書桌都是小羽的精品和文具。雖然地方淺窄，卻被他兩兄妹收拾得整整有條。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOqVTMZabK
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCjlp8IWa0
街外傳來貨車駛過的噪音，然後又歸於寂靜。這是唐二樓的單位，要是雙層巴士經過，廚房位置甚至可以跟車上的乘客打個照面。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb1zXTnhWQ
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwqDexpE59
小羽檢查一下洗手間，確認婆婆還沒有回來。她走到神枱跟前，望著爸爸和黃炏的遺照，不禁有點緊張。她照著盲炳的方法，拿出一支香，靜靜的點亮插在爐灰上。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTKfirsF6Z

灰色的煙飄渺渺升起，散發著古雅的幽香。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxCaPWZmQu
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoiizn4lRg
小羽腦海突然冒出一個奇怪的想法：有人從某個地方偷看著自己！？559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DEpCBAV20
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nHaaRi8wu
「哥哥...是你嗎？」小羽眼睛左瞄右瞄。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeFMRQRbZc

...有人從很遠很遠的地方說話！559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy1X5VaiR5
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd9hXBcK4W
小羽立即轉身，屋內仍舊只有她一人的身影。但她肯定那是哥哥的聲音。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiN5OX1HJX
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk09HfpUaGL
那把聲音像蓋在很多層棉胎下面，口齒不清地說：「...小羽...打開門喔...」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjiVPhYzCy
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ihD2hSFV0
門？559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKSUXvAX3Z
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlnoqdSYXO
莫非哥哥就在外面？小羽滿心歡喜，打開大門和鐵閘，但走廊內仍舊是空無一人。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhDOhHo0rx
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4b5yU7cl6

「笨蛋！我在衣櫃！」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUwwSbX4i4
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFiBjLKS06
！？
小羽一步一步，慢慢走向書桌旁的大衣櫃。剛才她出門之前忘了把門關好，門頁之間空了一條數公分的空隙，燈光沒法照進去，裡面像個漆黑一片的異世界。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUZDU0HG2y
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJG9r8D21M
即使隔著衣服，小羽也看得見自己胸口瘋狂的心跳。她嚥一道口水，向著門扉伸出冒汗的手。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ8sXcIAW9
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBFNxRmLEy
「哥哥...」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecrP6O7RDq
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGugYn3f900
衣櫃裡面一邊是黃炏的大褸、一邊是小羽的衣服，密麻麻的排滿整個衣櫥。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjHoItKYuP
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh9EGLx5EF
沒有人。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNR0tROclC

「嘩！」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYVGmQwHrJ
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8gdXUuU6a
一把男孩的聲突然在耳邊響起，嚇得小羽尖聲大叫！她滑了一跤，跌坐在地上面，不可思議地望著衣櫃裡...那面鏡。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM2f0S2oHV
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vAQVQwXmE
「小羽！終於再見到妳了！」一個戴著黑框眼鏡、頭上飄著個黃色光環的男孩站在鏡前...嗯，正確點說，哥哥就站在鏡子「裡面」！
