或許是忘記他，或者是不需要他了。惠施這一去，已好久好久，都未曾有過音信。637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4chRtOPPeN

第二年的冬天，起初只是鵝毛般的細雪，到後來，雪卻愈下愈大，宋國遍地飢寒交加，莊周也不例外。637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrm1NMzYVT
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR4ojxrssV
其實莊周沒有甚麼不開心，只是在把那艘扁舟賣掉時，他竟格外想念起惠施來。637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXCjR4ZKXo

「要是他當時不說我可以去找他，我興許是不去的……」637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xo1QWM20N

躺在榻上的莊周，迷茫間睜開了雙眼，抓著惠施的手，緊緊地摁在自己的心口。左右都是僕從，這樣的動作，讓惠施顯得有些為難。637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeC7Aktn3f
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjZoLXYqQe
惠施抽開了手，替莊周把被子闔上，「你又不是大王，我不是你的相國。」637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoRPs3Zfm4
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6JlGKcWhv
「我怎麼了……？」莊周躺在榻子上，看著跪在身旁的惠施。637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXHjLk2pF0
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78IqHz3WCX
「你還沒進城就餓昏了，但是你很有名氣，大家都喜歡你寫的書，也知道你是我的故人，我得了信，就把你接回來。」惠施道。637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7M5GXTqox
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70MtAZCIcq
「嗯。」莊周伸出手來，摸了摸惠施的臉，「我的公子，你的表情好像有些奇怪，怎麼了嗎？」637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4uTSVjEK5
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5giEKdWEG
惠施猶豫了一會兒，纔說道：「我得回宮一趟，不能一直獃在這兒。你有些風寒，我已吩咐府裏的人調些肉羹給你喫了，你多喫點，病纔能養好，知道不？」637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03TnujiQRd
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBbbRmKpth
惠施的神色終究是有些複雜，然而他按著自己的手，以及他的神色又是如此溫柔。637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL4Mbn7hhO
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NG4TNvhQu
莊周在惠施府上調養身體的期間，不時聽到下人們偷偷地在他背後議論道：「這位就是來搶老爺相位的人嗎」、「瞧他衣衫襤褸，大王不會採用他吧」、「老爺不是要把他殺掉嗎？為什麼還接待他？」637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BXR8oI7pV
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9KSPmB5Oj
莊周明白了。637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOOkSOxmtf

『雖見著了，卻比見不著難受。我這趟來反而給惠施惹了麻煩……原是我知牽腸掛肚不好，可依然牽掛才如此。』

下朝後，惠施擔任大王的顧問，接待六國使者，與他們商量對策，一直忙碌到很晚纔回了家。纔到家，見到莊周昏睡在外堂，他被諕了一下，向家奴問道：「你們是不是虧待了莊先生？」637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXX1D3PuOu
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KqmK26TOp
「奴才不敢，是莊先生非要在此等候老爺，老爺太晚沒回來，莊先生累倒了。」637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt2s7t7gF4
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv5MS9HUO9
惠施看著莊周的模樣，想：『莊周不知禮節，在外堂昏睡，這樣的人，興許大王是不會採用的；若只是來投靠我的話也無妨。』637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dF3YX0CH0
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS97YbjkGP0
便吩咐道：「往我房裏加一套被子。」637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPutHIdnCrP
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndJR6Jlavx
家奴不解。惠施道：「莊先生與我同房。」得令，這才退下。637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwDf2V3CQY

637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB9MAdFnp2
這回，他飛過濠梁，鑽過濠梁下的湖心，遠遠飛過魏國的都城，翩飄進相國府的窗櫺裏，裏頭香霧瀰漫，溫暖無比，與外頭的飢寒大相逕庭。637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbh3RVskTP

他本想回頭，惠施卻說道：「別回頭，我幫你擦背。」637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zb9hJLB7w

洗浴間，莊周昏昏沉沉的，連一頭長髮，都是惠施幫他梳洗。只記得惠施撫觸他的感覺極細，他的手觸碰過自己的後頸，背胛，其餘的，病中便再難記。637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nUmWdqCgz
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqvFrUElg5
一整晚都沒有下人來打擾。就寢時分，惠施幫莊周穿好睡衣後，兩人同榻，相對而寢。637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2TDiZLVx2
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlTJiiXT57
夜半時分，莊周竟感覺惠施的身子貼服在他的背後，雙手摟著他的腰。637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjnsx9nKaX

莊周說道：「惠子，等病養好，我就離開大梁。」637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx05CzDiyi

惠施沒答話，只無聲地淌淚，有幾滴淚直接淌在莊周的身上，莊周伸手替他揩面。637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7G6Hx5Sah
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8prAObQ6G
只聞幽幽地一句「對不住」。莊周說道：「對不住的人是我，人各有志，我又何必強求呢？」637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqad5r13t3r

「你以前曾問過我，你若離開，會不會想你，會不會留戀？其實我想得很……我來大梁，只是想給你這個答案。魏王的相國，你一人就足夠了，我若繼續留在這兒，你大概也過得不安穩。」637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsRtPbArGt
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAGi1hQa6o
「若我不在乎呢？」惠施看著莊周的臉，「你千里迢迢來看我，還猜忌你是我的錯……可如果我說，就算大王真的叫你去作他的相國，我也不在乎呢？」637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08o6H8Msv3
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1O2JdKIB4
「我在乎啊，我又不想和別人作禮行揖，可你還對這地方有所依戀，不是嗎？你想當官，我不想當官，我留在大梁，對我們倆人都很麻煩。」莊周道：「這一回，你若想我的話，就回宋國好嗎？……等你不想做官了再回來，我等你。」637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAI0cGc5CK

莊周的幾個門徒準備了祭品，偕他一塊兒上墳。637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmccDREM8e4

門人見到夫子的神情十分黯淡，本想開解他，莊周告訴他們：「我同你們說個故事。」門人們便朝他一拜：「夫子請講。」637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgCil7IvYZ

莊周淡淡地說道：「在楚國有位郢人，他有很會使大斧頭的匠人朋友，他們兩個會一種表演，郢人先在鼻頭上，抹上一層薄如蠅翼的石灰，再讓他的朋友削去。」637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPDLDpCtKL
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKbYdjrCRI
「旁人雖看得心驚膽跳，郢人卻面不改色，對匠人十分放心。匠人使斧頭時，不但沒削掉郢人的鼻子，還把石灰完全砍去。宋元君聽說這椿奇事，想請郢人再表演一次，郢人卻回答：『我的匠人朋友已經仙逝，只留下我一人獨活，所以我無法再表演了。』」
