他在梳化上猛然醒來。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyl0xNXIL6
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqph02vVyb7
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyimRlpKkFv
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YDnGYVXZt
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuolYTCoUH

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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBGeaK1Jnh
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mtE1JEA7G
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2rRtvnSQA
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ29ct0V2L
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuEcjDyN0r
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYuZDLNNEL
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn2ztRKY9c
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx9yw582UY
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLFDIIJgTK
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqeD44hDhS
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfwOnskGBY
抵不住。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZirPB5Thyg
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPXvNrF073
他決定到公園散步。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0vBvlcBxl
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1DqQqeXxq
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW38z6YVOE
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK5xxBXZOD
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FKUxebGo7
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86y88YfCwf
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAx3f4LJkP
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsasiA1Omj6
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1hpI68rA4
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTeKUMnvXz
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRkwih2zyB
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXkKJ9l62X
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGN15WKBvg
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP2LiBlA8d
他不自已憶起亡妻……270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF83K9hrAzp
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTwu3vcrog
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJyq8hdEYD
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4FxJOX0XF
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JiQEowMbF
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡateXnRnGAD
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrSrbC3D9A
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlOK42Ctuz
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVZiCwfdY9
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmVEq7C6ZR
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDkWUwD0bF
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0GjgY4DGu
「快了、快了。不用著急！」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3v4sqM2lb
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7y991hjWv
「即是何時？」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT4NZMbLWG
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkMtDzkOsA
「下一個夏天。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMhgap10DG
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgd56nMeET
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcLQSIQOua
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4I75AklzD
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxruq9fxWi
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bEHSt8C6b
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90uXA2TBvA
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SLJ6eWo5j
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3VxfLANJs
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LlgdSjweP
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM4uBjeANI
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwS1RrgCyi
內心終於安定下來。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hhin3Ab20
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l79nSwkMj
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』！」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpP4FneERV
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXFtbCvTnl
「但你的血糖……」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdUR7dvyfj
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsIaK8uVzq
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHhtblpEW6
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7JJqA2YkY
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY62LRaaiR
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXq9SQzUhZ
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtljarfUBkk
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eQvcTVFQ1
兒子送她一根拐杖。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtIbvqQ10m
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf6ak59MQm
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFhYdZ4nBG
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVYdLrrct2
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXxTmek3Dy
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0ipvEOhsP
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』！」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBpXoSb7Be
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFVfARNQbC
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu1hpbhM2E
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXF3zcl4Mj
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkxrq2EDgh
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZx1ZMMPKt
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuj1nXFMW1
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ526dScm76t
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslV2f12Y2I
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cK5hL9v6Q
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMePJZVKHg6
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoKXAia7HJ
於願足矣。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5ojiNWZCL
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTnKhIj7TD
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXI89STdrW
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgv21cym0e
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu4DZz0V18
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtNmdl0TsI
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQQGIFsvic
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZhW3oTzr4
總得走下去，不是嗎？270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5qXQ06OHW
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5ViJtIf8J
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnZaKtKRhR
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGh48yjX8a
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0Gog1sqWi
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu6lwxxXOz
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mUeDtPXIe
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswUw0BnA0G
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoOSRkeexd
