「咦?」543Please respect copyright.PENANArfW0TXNhyq
543Please respect copyright.PENANALtNkVRHlUg
我看看手錶,時分秒針全部停在凌晨二時廿三分三十五秒,離我上次看手機後體感時間明明已過去了半小時左右,時間卻凝滯不動!543Please respect copyright.PENANAI0ZAmaho57
543Please respect copyright.PENANAhTjb9pYU45
難道說手錶沒電的同時,手機也因為未知的Bug而畫面凍結嗎?這樣巧合?543Please respect copyright.PENANAF0dfWsM6Sc
543Please respect copyright.PENANA1cYwBIi9vr
我迷路了——我突然意識到這件事。543Please respect copyright.PENANAgeWLzCFusw
543Please respect copyright.PENANAHbZBGci8EE
全身毛骨悚然的我額上滿是細汗,我不知所措地東張西望確認方向,但自己明明走在正確的路上,沒可能……543Please respect copyright.PENANACITrucHRYD
543Please respect copyright.PENANACcgyA7F1jb
「溫年柏。」543Please respect copyright.PENANAH6wLG49vGN
543Please respect copyright.PENANAZFe06FCJCz
遠方傳來似有還無的低語,我連忙把視線從手機屏幕移開,只見一條米色毛茸茸的尾巴消失在路邊的深紅色鳥居之後。543Please respect copyright.PENANAo33TLIukCZ
543Please respect copyright.PENANAEruZIp2C0e
「……貓?」543Please respect copyright.PENANAUZNF5pANWu
543Please respect copyright.PENANAOQxwfZH5yD
我走前幾步穿過鳥居,只見小徑中央一隻貓兒正蹲在那兒,黑暗中用炯炯有神的雙瞳凝視著我。543Please respect copyright.PENANA7miSdpcSSX
543Please respect copyright.PENANAzzLV7EOlbz
「喵~」543Please respect copyright.PENANAEwoePYWzTa
543Please respect copyright.PENANArjBePhadA6
「頭先,你叫我?」我竟然向貓兒發問,我終於發瘋了嗎?543Please respect copyright.PENANAohoGWstKn0
543Please respect copyright.PENANA9uB91KezUr
貓兒沒有回應,卻是回首悠閒地地搖著尾巴步向小徑的深處。牠米色的尾巴如在向我揮手,那隻貓兒頸上繫著一個由透明玻璃所製,風鈴形的鈴鐺,隨著牠走動的每一步發出清脆的風鈴聲。543Please respect copyright.PENANAbgxggdrXDj
543Please respect copyright.PENANAY2NFnyS1xG
「叮…叮…」543Please respect copyright.PENANAig56r9vtxc
543Please respect copyright.PENANAKSfavXWLTn
只是在半夜的路邊,這樣特別詭異。543Please respect copyright.PENANAHNrcYu6q1q
543Please respect copyright.PENANAUJ6tvYON2w
要……要跟上去嗎?我吞吞口水看著貓兒,又看看山下本應存在於那兒的欣澳站。遠處東涌的方向也是烏燈黑火,不見城市的燈光。543Please respect copyright.PENANAgFbjQOTjn4
543Please respect copyright.PENANAx9x4riCtGC
只能追上去了吧。543Please respect copyright.PENANAMIhuBNlMUn
543Please respect copyright.PENANAyx7TknJ79f
我追著這貓兒偏離了公路,身後只有密林和樹影。543Please respect copyright.PENANAFFP1nZBpQz
543Please respect copyright.PENANAg5HBWZFjcW
「喵~」543Please respect copyright.PENANA3cFZ2Zztwc
543Please respect copyright.PENANAIf3QjLXiFZ
「叮…叮…」543Please respect copyright.PENANAYJIF1XjzKD
543Please respect copyright.PENANAId82AF1SAI
貓兒走遠幾步後停下,然後坐到地上用後腿搔著自己耳背,圓滾滾的貓瞳正看著我,簡直就如等我追上一樣。543Please respect copyright.PENANApqQ3Sjtz8f
543Please respect copyright.PENANA5HxI13QiIT
「你想帶我去邊度?」543Please respect copyright.PENANAAWZaGAM0as
543Please respect copyright.PENANAxnOyjtXald
我走近幾步打算順便摸牠幾下,牠卻馬上站起來繼續往前走。543Please respect copyright.PENANAX8QLApuivm
543Please respect copyright.PENANAxUMdXINL9Q
我追牠逃,我停牠等,貓兒就是不讓我摸到牠,也吸引著我不斷追著牠跑。543Please respect copyright.PENANAyDyIhxOvoJ
543Please respect copyright.PENANAW9Pdo6XY5I
伴著貓叫聲與風鈴清脆的叮鐺聲,我都不知道自己身在何方,走到多深的樹林了。543Please respect copyright.PENANAspXIrSwZAT
543Please respect copyright.PENANAxcQB2yXojD
但小徑始終在,路邊還有石燈籠,昏暗的燈光與腳下的小路始終通向更深處。543Please respect copyright.PENANA9FE3SSHFuW
543Please respect copyright.PENANAxtCXoXgkWl
一路走著走著,貓兒帶領著我穿過這片公路旁的密林,不知過了多久後我看到前方的樹林變得稀疏,小徑穿過樹蔭而出,我竟然看到了日……日落?543Please respect copyright.PENANAMIAefAisNw
543Please respect copyright.PENANAN3jyRA1zyb
怎可能是日落?我到底走了多久?我下意識地看看手錶,卻看到時間依然鎖定在02:23AM。543Please respect copyright.PENANAJJuvdSbDKY
543Please respect copyright.PENANAnMDfFOZfOj
果然是手錶沒電的同時,手機因為不知甚麼原因凍結了吧——我打算這樣解釋眼前一切,卻解釋為何突然日落,還是說這是日出?543Please respect copyright.PENANAcnuEA03YDf
543Please respect copyright.PENANASQlUWIJdPn
而且這兒是哪?543Please respect copyright.PENANA9uXpNbpFkU
543Please respect copyright.PENANA4xqkZ73Yko
樹林外頭是廣闊的田野,日落的餘輝在地平線閃耀,定眼一看從樹林伸出的小徑化成田野之間的阡陌,水道中清晰透明的溪水在阡陌左右細流,黃金的稻米漫山遍野…543Please respect copyright.PENANAipKsNnPYxe
543Please respect copyright.PENANA55MdD1I7uV
東涌附近有這樣的稻米田嗎?不可能。543Please respect copyright.PENANAQK94MhrD4C
543Please respect copyright.PENANAGf06Du8juw
「喵~」543Please respect copyright.PENANAo1u2iP10J9
543Please respect copyright.PENANAI0iG193Llr
「叮……叮……」543Please respect copyright.PENANAx9rin9gODN
543Please respect copyright.PENANARq3uaPbhyZ
風鈴聲提醒我那隻米色的貓兒還在,牠頸上的小風鈴在開揚的稻田旁被勁風吹得特別起勁。543Please respect copyright.PENANAHNBttNF3JI
543Please respect copyright.PENANAoyUk3UTlNM
風鈴聲隨風飄散,伴著於稻米尖端因風吹而壓出的「浪」向遠方掠去,稻粒被風壓下又抬頭,形成一輪又一輪的波浪,捲向遠處的稻田邊緣。543Please respect copyright.PENANA269wKxFZNF
543Please respect copyright.PENANAUoDah0UZ1r
那兒,有一座建築物在。543Please respect copyright.PENANA39wHhvWnDq
543Please respect copyright.PENANAD1FydLbdBs
「個度係……」543Please respect copyright.PENANAsxCqWDQm6T
543Please respect copyright.PENANAEjDsWptOL3
才看一眼我就知道那不是香港的建築物了。543Please respect copyright.PENANANHw4kRSqsB
543Please respect copyright.PENANAMTlD8SHBq3
543Please respect copyright.PENANAV7OX32yZPY
543Please respect copyright.PENANAvgAxnwizVZ
巨大的深紅色建築由木與瓦構成,七層的巨大木塔型建築與附近矮細的現代混凝土大廈形成強烈的對比。角落的飛簷與瓦頂的木欄柵之間有暖色燈光滲出,似是燭光,又像燈籠,給人一種安心且暖烘烘的感覺。543Please respect copyright.PENANA2UhzO3bDUA
543Please respect copyright.PENANAI8OhFZMsNC
木塔前還有零落的幾根麻石柱,上方刻著扭扭曲曲的圖騰。543Please respect copyright.PENANAVuKEuDYpog
543Please respect copyright.PENANAlMQ2coZZpP
日式?還是中式建築?無論是哪邊都不可能是香港的建築。543Please respect copyright.PENANA8GyA7czxW3
543Please respect copyright.PENANAIcbpqJiFYI
以木塔為中心,附近有著零星幾座混凝土建築物,構造介於舊式商場和屋村校舍之間,但共通點是沒人。543Please respect copyright.PENANAQSl7oi8mRS
543Please respect copyright.PENANAan8EkozzZJ
放眼望去,空無一人。543Please respect copyright.PENANA2wavZlX0S1
543Please respect copyright.PENANASLmnyHSdiU
「呢度邊度嚟……」543Please respect copyright.PENANAzLIrJ9AqcA
543Please respect copyright.PENANAwqS9wMQVQt
我穿過黃金稻田之間的小徑,日落的餘輝使其尖端閃閃生輝,橙紅的天空與那座建築物相當合襯。543Please respect copyright.PENANAqndjtRP6Ay
543Please respect copyright.PENANA0vkAz5PAZ3
「喵~」543Please respect copyright.PENANAOwgc0W14kj
543Please respect copyright.PENANADxgiivPfO1
貓兒一如以往地在前方領著我走,似乎對這兒很熟路。緩緩穿過田野間的阡陌後,我終於來到了那座建築物下方的石磚路。543Please respect copyright.PENANA6sFfLsPka1
543Please respect copyright.PENANAk4cYwkJD4b
沿途上我看不到半個人影,建築物之間有樹木穿插而過,只有以鐵鏈懸掛的招牌隨著擺動發出「嘎——」的聲音,格外蒼涼,格外寂寥。543Please respect copyright.PENANAJLXGYBSAZp
543Please respect copyright.PENANAxC70ynAXDB
「行呢邊?」543Please respect copyright.PENANAbwSe5z5oi1
543Please respect copyright.PENANA0pbuJnoxIM
石磚路的盡頭是一個小池塘,破碎的邊緣下是平靜的水面,木塔建築物的柔和暖光亦倒映在其中,加上灑落的夕陽染紅著這廢村的建築,風兒也如被染上寂寞似的。543Please respect copyright.PENANA0oIqfXdz9P
543Please respect copyright.PENANA6AwUMKlajN
貓兒領著我繞過小池塘,從一些建築物旁而過後再經過一道池塘上的小木橋,我便來到了木塔建築的入口。543Please respect copyright.PENANAFlqeRrRxmd
543Please respect copyright.PENANAjylFM4efq2
「……阡迴旅館。」我唸出木塔建築底層中央入口左方的木製招牌,似乎就是這建築物的名字。543Please respect copyright.PENANA78HWbXaFYc
543Please respect copyright.PENANAvIWGgwFaIG
阡迴旅館從底部仰視更顯高聳入雲,很難想像是木建築,更難以想像這是在香港境內。543Please respect copyright.PENANAb7GtsG9XZe
543Please respect copyright.PENANA3QohwXRWhw
當我望回入口時卻發現那隻貓兒已不知所蹤,只剩下我呆然地站在入口前。543Please respect copyright.PENANAdQvTw4TULQ
543Please respect copyright.PENANAsIJKoXtBqo
既然有燈,就自然代表有人在這兒對吧。543Please respect copyright.PENANAO2EhyEoY71
543Please respect copyright.PENANARvBVozNBz9
入口的木牌說這兒叫阡迴旅館,就暫時這樣稱呼。543Please respect copyright.PENANANOSnj7EYak
543Please respect copyright.PENANAhT3uJnxiij
站在阡迴旅館前方的我再次掏出手機確認自己所在之處,時間依然卡在02:23AM,至於地圖亦沒法接收GPS信號而沒法使用,手機亦收不到信號。543Please respect copyright.PENANAX7Kq6NCokU
543Please respect copyright.PENANAOuVhqitxYI
放眼四周,也看不到路牌,招牌之類的地標。543Please respect copyright.PENANA8ITo255INM
543Please respect copyright.PENANA93P1ToXki0
只能問路嗎?上面的字是正體中文,所以至少不是異世界之類?543Please respect copyright.PENANA4BQNKWygk0
543Please respect copyright.PENANAv2Ir4QDtSz
門就在那兒。543Please respect copyright.PENANAIoIxPF7cO5
543Please respect copyright.PENANAF10BENPWyQ
別無他法的我登上阡迴旅館前的幾步階梯,古色古香的深木色大門就在我面前,銅片包邊的木門令人覺得這是座古老的建築。543Please respect copyright.PENANAjhRZr29zXN
543Please respect copyright.PENANAk8x30ITiLu
「嘎——」543Please respect copyright.PENANASphT3xrqQP
543Please respect copyright.PENANA3Zok2RQS73
沒有想像中沉重的木門被我拉開,內部的暖色燈光從縫隙間滲出,眼前出現的正是阡迴旅館的大堂。543Please respect copyright.PENANAcbiPn0kb7c
543Please respect copyright.PENANACgePLM6joG
說是旅館,眼前卻是一個氣派非凡的前台和大堂,與那些五星級酒店相比下毫不遜色。同樣是深木色風格,地板卻是白色的地磚,倒映著建築物巨大的中庭。543Please respect copyright.PENANArZlUp7TMK3
543Please respect copyright.PENANA0d4VmWZL5X
阡迴旅館的室內中央是巨大的空洞,使人想起井型公屋中央的巨大天井,但更可怕的是這高度!這寬度!有可能嗎?!543Please respect copyright.PENANARaxasll7qI
543Please respect copyright.PENANAYpk2oIlmrs
「嘩…嘩!」543Please respect copyright.PENANAnRmIxm2g2G
543Please respect copyright.PENANAJp9LKARpMA
目瞪口呆的我連忙回身跑到外頭察看阡迴旅館,又奔回前台抬頭仰望眼前的巨大天井,這是甚…這是甚麼空間異象?!這怎麼可能?!543Please respect copyright.PENANAgBzxCnUDgD
543Please respect copyright.PENANACxJ99uOeR3
「乜…乜料…」543Please respect copyright.PENANARMp8i7s50n
543Please respect copyright.PENANAmb7212jRzd
巨大的天井無限地往上延伸,淡黃色燈光把一層又一層的木製懸廊和門戶映亮,我明明站在地面,卻感到一陣眩目,雙腳不自禁地往後退了兩步,如要被天井吸上去一樣!543Please respect copyright.PENANAn3acuRW3tq
543Please respect copyright.PENANAaugTokzSc4
「嗚隆……」543Please respect copyright.PENANAFaxrA1jEvH
543Please respect copyright.PENANAXD6Z4hsoyZ
天井之間有不知名聲音在迴盪,仔細一聽竟然是我自己的說話在天井間的回音!在天井的最高處只有更高的天井存在,直到視野盡頭的消失點,不知從哪而來的亮光把天井的每個角落恰到好處地照亮。543Please respect copyright.PENANAUfI2PDVLXx
543Please respect copyright.PENANABzbfXbogvb
「叮叮……」543Please respect copyright.PENANASM9NFKHlx5
543Please respect copyright.PENANAkWrJPL2Pbu
風鈴聲?是那隻貓!543Please respect copyright.PENANACjXDq3Q3Tw
543Please respect copyright.PENANA7v65582OZd
我把視野從天井收回,望向風鈴聲的來源,卻是一名少女。543Please respect copyright.PENANASCgtJFD7TQ
543Please respect copyright.PENANAk8ysXelApK
「哎呀,係意料之外嘅客人。」543Please respect copyright.PENANApoYG0Qx0RI
543Please respect copyright.PENANASrxSZZjwBQ
少女的聲音亦如風鈴一樣清脆悅耳。543Please respect copyright.PENANAv7u0bpCc4e
543Please respect copyright.PENANAFc6N9iE7JP
「你…呢度……」543Please respect copyright.PENANADsbBb02YAO
543Please respect copyright.PENANAQiSD21RG1C
我望向少女,再望向頭上,剛剛的天井卻已經消失不見,取而代化的是普通的天井,就只有七層,大小亦附合阡迴旅館的外觀。543Please respect copyright.PENANARGbM4pwd4V
543Please respect copyright.PENANAJBU3kDa92k
「唔使擔心,你好安全。」少女一邊說著一邊走向前台,「歡迎你嚟到阡迴旅館。」543Please respect copyright.PENANA15W7Pc3U15
543Please respect copyright.PENANATxlzc8KLO3
這時我才仔細打量眼前的少女,沒有瀏海的她披著及腰長髮,耳邊的髮飾是一個精緻的迷你風鈴,正隨著她走動發出悅耳的鳴聲。543Please respect copyright.PENANA2tNr8mxZtj
543Please respect copyright.PENANANAgRMjrG08
少女身上的洋服令人想起女僕裝,但卻沒有過多的蕾絲邊和花紋,簡潔大方的寶藍色連身短裙,雙腳是過膝絲襪和綁帶高根鞋。543Please respect copyright.PENANAVTA43AdqIn
543Please respect copyright.PENANANlkIsbZm7Z
「……咳。」543Please respect copyright.PENANAB1s3ScK7A8
543Please respect copyright.PENANAsXIlVXUBEj
她以輕咳打斷我的掃視,意識到自己失態的我馬上把目光投回她雙眼:「唔好意思,呢度……係邊度?」543Please respect copyright.PENANAnP02WkM1ZD
543Please respect copyright.PENANA4nH7RS0uRS
「我頭先先講完:歡迎你嚟到阡迴旅館。」543Please respect copyright.PENANABRjaGNPAV5
543Please respect copyright.PENANAJXE9GxaEIh
「我,我知。我嘅意思係阡迴旅館係喺邊度?我其實係蕩失咗路,但呢附近我根本唔知道係邊……」543Please respect copyright.PENANABiYR7Cd69J
543Please respect copyright.PENANAkaQyQ9vabH
「嗯,明白你心情。」少女說,「我會同你慢慢解釋,唔使擔心,但係……可唔可以話我知你叫咩名?」543Please respect copyright.PENANA5yBRYwNJwQ
543Please respect copyright.PENANAMfmvo2OEHc
「溫年柏。新年個年,木字邊個柏。」543Please respect copyright.PENANAKtg5g4x9Gy
543Please respect copyright.PENANAmp6bj64Zah
「溫年柏……你係由邊度而嚟?」543Please respect copyright.PENANAAWu1zW7eTF
543Please respect copyright.PENANAeVYuplv3Hv
「邊度……迪,迪士尼站啊。」543Please respect copyright.PENANAlYOkGcXPtA
543Please respect copyright.PENANACEqy9u30ZW
「溫年柏……溫年柏……」543Please respect copyright.PENANAtQ5McBk2IS
543Please respect copyright.PENANAYXj174vMjG
少女的指尖在一本泛黃的書本上掃過一個又一個名字,我注意到她的食指上戴了一個指環,指環與其長手套與衣袖是相連,使其手臂顯得格外修長。543Please respect copyright.PENANAo32VOf1jBS
543Please respect copyright.PENANAdRWAJ3XXAS
「溫…溫…溫年柏?」少女皺眉道,「你肯定你叫呢個名?」543Please respect copyright.PENANAjtEDmuRPuM
543Please respect copyright.PENANADjjAKxNN04
我不禁啞然失笑:「我用咗呢個名都廿四年,都幾肯定。」543Please respect copyright.PENANA2NSwBRoMXu
543Please respect copyright.PENANAptuu7OQ3c6
「嗯……」她似乎再從頭找起。543Please respect copyright.PENANAmtREZKxL2O
543Please respect copyright.PENANAign9sUPcSS
「話說,我個名唔係你本簿度好正常啊。」543Please respect copyright.PENANAOO8rYV3FIA
543Please respect copyright.PENANAuce8E1VqHS
「點解?」少女的指尖停在「陳立正」一行旁抬頭望我。543Please respect copyright.PENANAgWRJdYamPU
543Please respect copyright.PENANAgESwTmb4if
「我無訂過咩旅館,我個名又點會係上面?你就唔使晒時間再搵喇。」543Please respect copyright.PENANAjx2PsM9CaI
543Please respect copyright.PENANAJmkvKLklTC
少女先是一楞,然後道:「的確,但阡迴旅館唔係普通嘅旅館,只有係呢本登記簿上面有名嘅人先會嚟得到呢度。」543Please respect copyright.PENANAGILnHjS4jt
543Please respect copyright.PENANAF00F1ZISMn
「下?」543Please respect copyright.PENANAHIbAr8OeUM
543Please respect copyright.PENANAL3fSuRw48Q
「所以你既然出現得喺呢度,你個名就應該會喺上面至岩……」543Please respect copyright.PENANA7FojtHlFpM
543Please respect copyright.PENANAXZIxNh6ap5
突然我有個感覺:她不會是瘋子吧?543Please respect copyright.PENANAJY3wpT2b2F
543Please respect copyright.PENANAyLaHiwwNDQ
雖然是個很漂亮的美少女,但她竟然會一本正經地說出名字出現在簿中的人才能來得到這兒——這種瘋話,再駁斥她她可能就會掏出刀子砍人了。543Please respect copyright.PENANA0PBxkBQu3D
543Please respect copyright.PENANAETBwdwanB8
「咁,咁你慢慢搵,唔使急啊。」543Please respect copyright.PENANANOLfmYwFU6
543Please respect copyright.PENANAD8HlKo79KQ
此地不宜久留!
乘她正低頭注意掃視眼皮下的舊書,我攝手攝腳地往後退。大門雖不近但亦不遠,以我男生的體力優勢,就算她發瘋我也有信心能率先奪門而出……543Please respect copyright.PENANApSBtDwnJ7w
543Please respect copyright.PENANAQulmkNFSld
「喵~」543Please respect copyright.PENANA6IjkbNao8a
543Please respect copyright.PENANAvgYmKOEO5y
「叮叮~」543Please respect copyright.PENANAX2s1boDLqt
543Please respect copyright.PENANAWFCizcNjfB
一個毛球突然從我腳邊竄過,伴著風鈴聲,我低頭一看正是剛剛的貓兒。543Please respect copyright.PENANAOh6RgeF7Oh
543Please respect copyright.PENANAq6ApGrBJgT
「渺渺?」少女抬頭叫喚,原來這貓叫渺渺。543Please respect copyright.PENANAyrUCWGTfix
543Please respect copyright.PENANAoepKgb8owk
「叮~」543Please respect copyright.PENANAi9MCwRnnSh
543Please respect copyright.PENANAsrmhWlFHzL
渺渺一邊搖著尾巴,一邊在我雙腳之間鑽來鑽去,不知是在撒嬌還是阻止我逃跑!543Please respect copyright.PENANAy9ClQ2Iofu
543Please respect copyright.PENANAnm84YuIOde
「少有喎,渺渺竟然嗲你……嗯,但真係無你名。」少女蓋上簿本說,「咁就頭痛。」543Please respect copyright.PENANACNX5sgci3G
543Please respect copyright.PENANA2ABHgFLgJc
「都話左,我無Book過咩旅館,我個名唔係上面係好正常。」我恃著已拉遠了些許距離再次駁斥,「到底呢度係邊?我想去東涌站坐頭班車返屋企。」543Please respect copyright.PENANA3U5q1BUTet
543Please respect copyright.PENANAYCwp4pEbs9
「我由頭解釋一次你聽,首先……」543Please respect copyright.PENANAFPYmQ32FzM
543Please respect copyright.PENANA1IyX2NzQz2
「首先,你叫咩名?」我打斷她。543Please respect copyright.PENANAmsHnPQ8lGD
543Please respect copyright.PENANAwWFyEbzFg8
少女輕撥深啡色秀髮,「我叫夏鈴兒,係呢間阡迴旅館唯一嘅員工。」543Please respect copyright.PENANAnuqvS1Ft9e
543Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZAF6wOZ4L
「夏鈴兒……」543Please respect copyright.PENANAWIp8KdhoV8
543Please respect copyright.PENANAOzaEqndOYm
名字也很好聽,我想起了盛夏的屋簷下,風鈴迎風輕搖奏鳴的畫面。543Please respect copyright.PENANA66QyJmjaQX
543Please respect copyright.PENANAzmvpos2q4G
「嗯,呢度係阡迴旅館,係所有迷途者都會到達嘅地方。」她說,「你頭先話你自己蕩失路係唔係?所以你到達呢度係好正常。」543Please respect copyright.PENANAvDAT7jQuP1
543Please respect copyright.PENANAkvC2yVLgx4
迷路嗎?其實不然。543Please respect copyright.PENANAigj0mL8kXJ
543Please respect copyright.PENANAxXDeXCxJKI
我走在馬路旁邊,路牌,信號,行人道一應俱全,照道理來說我是不會迷路,亦沒有迷路,只是追著渺渺離開了大路鑽入密林之中。543Please respect copyright.PENANAiPIpyqh6q1
543Please respect copyright.PENANAui89shsnyP
然後來到了這兒。543Please respect copyright.PENANAi3c4LU0mUZ
543Please respect copyright.PENANAlnmnwC9ZYi
「咁古今中外咁多人蕩失路,呢度咪好熱鬧?」543Please respect copyright.PENANA4OhbykKOqF
543Please respect copyright.PENANAcLeSgfyA8E
「呢度講嘅迷途,唔係指物理層面上嘅迷途,所以你想像中嘅各種失蹤者,佢地並唔係度。」夏鈴兒說,「而呢度嘅人最終都會離開,返去佢地應該返去嘅地方,所以放心。」543Please respect copyright.PENANAXlM9C0hEAb
543Please respect copyright.PENANABFrres39UQ
「離開……」543Please respect copyright.PENANAFB8NRDIQqC
543Please respect copyright.PENANAy1DlRG0vNw
「嗯,但簿上面無你個名,我都係第一次見咁嘅情況。」543Please respect copyright.PENANAr1Tm7G0oZ8
543Please respect copyright.PENANAibpZWdU5CQ
「即係我有可能返唔到出去?!」543Please respect copyright.PENANACdBk9jCojX
543Please respect copyright.PENANAi9eDLey6d1
「我無咁講過,冷靜啲。」夏鈴兒說,「放心,呢度始終都係旅館,會有房俾你休息,有食物有野飲,我地仲有溫泉喔,唔使怕。」543Please respect copyright.PENANA7sbEyq35c1
543Please respect copyright.PENANARA0shZCZpg
「唔係啊,唔係啊!如果我家姐瞓醒見我仲未返屋企,佢可能會報警……」543Please respect copyright.PENANAVahLVAqQQn
543Please respect copyright.PENANAMFAgC1pcAy
「啊,關於呢個問題。」夏鈴兒凝重地看著我,「你完全唔需要擔心。」543Please respect copyright.PENANA0yWxyKgnrM
543Please respect copyright.PENANA7VCaMH2XLJ
「點唔擔心?!」543Please respect copyright.PENANA228TYdogGL
543Please respect copyright.PENANAHFErRDqCJH
「我就問,你肚唔肚餓?」543Please respect copyright.PENANAwxnDTCK4qr
543Please respect copyright.PENANALrAivfFSFH
「突然之間問嚟做咩,唔肚餓啊!」543Please respect copyright.PENANAzjAa8z5hJ5

「但你上次食飯係幾耐之前?」夏鈴兒問。543Please respect copyright.PENANA4KygJoBbxD
543Please respect copyright.PENANAue3dGEJ42N
「呃……」一時間我都說不出,畢竟我在下班前幾分鐘才被告知被炒,接著就是亂成一團的人事程序,收拾東西之類,我記得我應該是下午時吃過點餅乾零食之類?543Please respect copyright.PENANAttLqdEsYH0
543Please respect copyright.PENANAmzjWrRGlgK
「都隔咗咁耐,理應肚餓係唔係?但你有無發現自己完全唔肚餓?亦唔攰?記憶係唔係完全無隨時間過去而變淡?」543Please respect copyright.PENANAGx7yLvGfXK
543Please respect copyright.PENANACK1iyReXCq
的確。543Please respect copyright.PENANAaoIoFKhGbj
543Please respect copyright.PENANAbtw0GF1128
被她這樣一說,的確如此。543Please respect copyright.PENANAAWiXH1aCMy
543Please respect copyright.PENANAfeb9UIjhBp
我不餓,也不累,而且只要閉上眼,剛才鑽過樹林的記憶就清晰無比如同再次上演一樣,沒有正常地隨時間而變淡……543Please respect copyright.PENANAK3pWUhZ3gt
543Please respect copyright.PENANACCbT9pSyDE
時間?543Please respect copyright.PENANACx0IEyA4lf
543Please respect copyright.PENANASYcYL7dijX
想到這兒,我再次查看手機和手錶的時間,二者依然卡在02:23AM.543Please respect copyright.PENANAVfPWzK9INB
543Please respect copyright.PENANAqfQ2yz2fas
「阡迴旅館呢度嘅時空,係獨立於常世嘅時間線同空間結構,係遺世獨立嘅異世。」夏鈴兒說。543Please respect copyright.PENANA7shsOr9Zda
543Please respect copyright.PENANA0hjes0RA4T
異世空間:阡迴旅館。543Please respect copyright.PENANAxu4Z8aLZO3
543Please respect copyright.PENANACCNEti1VDL
本來我想反駁甚麼,但眼前的02:23AM字樣證實著她所言非虛。543Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8WGUrPsRm
543Please respect copyright.PENANAUQaJBEUj09
時間……空間……獨立於常世的時間線同空間結構?543Please respect copyright.PENANATVbjHujMD1
543Please respect copyright.PENANAXWVtE1rvgT
「無可能,都唔知你鳩噏啲咩!你好簡單,我頭先入呢道門,就係過去;依家入咗嚟喺度同你講嘢,就係現在。依加三秒後嘅未來我會抱起渺渺,三,二,一!」543Please respect copyright.PENANALk7og1gBQO
543Please respect copyright.PENANAZeuKJq1Rv4
我抱起腳邊的渺渺。543Please respect copyright.PENANAlpYacYutxX
543Please respect copyright.PENANATAsPnUNOTb
「你睇!」543Please respect copyright.PENANAAOzoTKraly
543Please respect copyright.PENANASEOsjVAXfe
「喵嗚?!」543Please respect copyright.PENANAXDHecR9SdK
543Please respect copyright.PENANAfPcQHo0Vjp
渺渺輕輕扭動掙扎,我放開牠讓她溜回地上,有點生氣的牠用圓滾滾的肉球輕拍我的小腿以示抗議。543Please respect copyright.PENANAx1QEp0V3AT
543Please respect copyright.PENANA3huVYH7NqY
「點會無時間存在?」543Please respect copyright.PENANABhwi0Ng2qm
543Please respect copyright.PENANAgdHuCYYCGr
「嘖,我幾時有講過阡迴旅館之中無時間?我係話呢度嘅時間線,係獨立於常世之外。」夏鈴兒說。543Please respect copyright.PENANAdOBtx9kqkd
543Please respect copyright.PENANADaAPVh8kZh
「我唔明……」543Please respect copyright.PENANAqEpmQj0pQh
543Please respect copyright.PENANAXbJ12Xrf06
「你到咗咁耐後有咩係明?」夏鈴兒無奈地說,「做人謙虛啲,唔好下下就反射動作咁反駁,聽我解釋先,定你做開反駁隊?」543Please respect copyright.PENANAYCT77Xj7Np
543Please respect copyright.PENANA8V9NI5zx6g
這女生說話還挺串嘴嘛!一時之間我竟然還真的被她攻擊得無言以對,但畢竟在我眼前盡是前所未見的異象,錯不在我。543Please respect copyright.PENANApGSoA76NwJ
543Please respect copyright.PENANAvjB97pWuGD
先是消失的東涌和欣澳,然後是理應不存在的黃金稻田,接著是突然出現又消失的無盡天井,還有甚麼獨立於時間線以外的阡迴旅館?543Please respect copyright.PENANA1zopsi1GMR
543Please respect copyright.PENANAJZwUNNSlkq
「雖然我唔知點解簿上面無你名,但我可以俾第一個建議你:放下本身固有嘅概念同成見,接受框架以外嘅事物。」夏鈴兒說。543Please respect copyright.PENANAphaKAbMDLi
543Please respect copyright.PENANA8VCrvqZ9EC
「好,好啦……咁到底係咩一回事?」543Please respect copyright.PENANAgL06CsLQK0
543Please respect copyright.PENANAGHpupgnQQf
夏鈴兒瞪我一會兒,似乎真的相信我是由衷地提問,才道——543Please respect copyright.PENANACIsVQLz4eR
543Please respect copyright.PENANAL6NEeLFBCO
「阡迴旅館,嚟到呢度嘅人一係失去返去嘅動機,或者地方,或者方法。方法唔成問題,因為阡迴旅館係所有道路嘅交匯,可以通向所有地方。呢個地方存在就係為嚟到呢度嘅人提供休息,令佢地可以療癒自己,直到佢地搵到返去嘅動機同地方為止。」543Please respect copyright.PENANADXJWV11NJ4
543Please respect copyright.PENANAgIGLUKpDYQ
「走失兒童服務中心?」樂園之中也有這種設施。543Please respect copyright.PENANAXTlDSLlSDj
543Please respect copyright.PENANAUMg8kRH4cy
「係呢個世界會走失嘅唔只得兒童。」夏鈴兒說。543Please respect copyright.PENANAzp4AcF5YI1
543Please respect copyright.PENANAzWXi7zYvwP
「咁嚟到呢度嘅人,你頭先話只要有…返去嘅方法,同埋乜話?」543Please respect copyright.PENANA8nAfvWiOyl
543Please respect copyright.PENANABgsT0oNY3X
「返去嘅方法,動機,地方,缺一不可。你想返去嘅話,你諗下你欠啲咩?」543Please respect copyright.PENANA46pEoXLwIp
543Please respect copyright.PENANA6Zormx0Oq8
我馬上反駁:「我無野欠,我可以行返去,我好想返去,我想返屋企。」543Please respect copyright.PENANAGN3qVZEXer
543Please respect copyright.PENANAemttH2PuVh
「……咁你自己去試下喇,門口係個邊。」沒好氣的夏鈴兒指著我身後的大門,「只要你可以返去,一直行就會自然返到去常世。」543Please respect copyright.PENANAVaesO5HQDe
543Please respect copyright.PENANAdOEqHYvEGG
和她相處實在算不上愉快,即使她長得秀麗,聲音清脆好風鈴,但話不投機半句多。543Please respect copyright.PENANARvBtFTZfZp
543Please respect copyright.PENANA2HgWu6OA7w
「咁我返去搵路返屋企先,拜拜。」543Please respect copyright.PENANAz81SnQDFAu
543Please respect copyright.PENANAe8uwVLIpH4
「等陣見。」夏鈴兒嘴角卻揚起笑意。543Please respect copyright.PENANAoiMse6cpMT
543Please respect copyright.PENANAAwXZvHod4X
別小看我了!543Please respect copyright.PENANA4A25aplKmV
543Please respect copyright.PENANAIPgcLx99J0
我轉身拉門而出,看到眼前風景的瞬間卻站住了腳步。543Please respect copyright.PENANAdgXfHTvPQp
543Please respect copyright.PENANAGEBRk4QSPx
剛剛的稻田不見了。543Please respect copyright.PENANAp7kZISIa01
543Please respect copyright.PENANAeGiXgtBzLV
無人的鬼城依然在,但是在街道盡頭剛剛還在那兒的稻田和阡陌小徑早已經消失無蹤。一條不知為何出現的大河橫躺在廢棄小鎮的邊緣,道路到達河邊就化成了一座石橋,橋身有點破落,青苔斑駁但似乎安全。543Please respect copyright.PENANAumiwVinLSc
543Please respect copyright.PENANA889cNqJg5G
「啱先啲田……」543Please respect copyright.PENANA8HusImsAiX
543Please respect copyright.PENANARuosRhPzv4
阡迴旅館這兒的時空,是獨立於常世的時間線和空間結構——夏鈴兒的警告言猶在耳。543Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ3AXU6or4
543Please respect copyright.PENANA1xGHahA0a3
但剛剛已經這樣反駁她,現在回頭打退堂鼓也太過窩囊!我狠下決心步出阡迴旅館的大堂,然後往外頭的街道走去。但不只剛剛的稻田消失,外頭的街道也存在著異樣,第一眼看起來沒甚麼兩樣,但是仔細看的話——543Please respect copyright.PENANAGV4MopAUqc
543Please respect copyright.PENANAH79OVFXHgh
石磚的排列方式不同了。543Please respect copyright.PENANAMqQrb1LXKb
543Please respect copyright.PENANA3BomcFJzOb
街燈的款式不同了。543Please respect copyright.PENANA5uOj4igoua
543Please respect copyright.PENANAKZ0io05obg
建築物窗戶的細節不同了。543Please respect copyright.PENANAQfdpcleKB2
543Please respect copyright.PENANAKQ8qIRLi5f
仔細看下去,這兒的街道已經和我剛剛進入阡迴旅館時不同,只是建築風格相同,整體與剛剛相似的街道而已!543Please respect copyright.PENANAzX8QIx2NDQ
543Please respect copyright.PENANAdLVqe0yjTL
但是現在已沒法回頭,所以我還是硬著頭皮從街道穿過來到了那道橋前。543Please respect copyright.PENANALUUKcU39Hz
543Please respect copyright.PENANAPAPibmdDGa
橋沒有名字,就算街道上沒有任何文字般,在橋的對面則是零落的山丘和亂石。渡過石橋後,我特意在路邊蹲下檢查,完全沒有一絲稻田曾存在的痕跡,路邊就只有碎石和道路以外的沙礫雜草。543Please respect copyright.PENANAYzjYiGAT2f
543Please respect copyright.PENANA9a8ZJ0cpSZ
真是活見鬼,這真是活見鬼,出去後去廟拜神之類吧。543Please respect copyright.PENANAbtL1oAyJmo
543Please respect copyright.PENANALJmpzYxrPQ
回首看身後,阡迴旅館已經漸漸消失在街道的陰影後,雖然我也不知道接下來怎麼辦,去哪兒,但至少我正在遠離那個鬼地方。543Please respect copyright.PENANA56MVmbsZVB
543Please respect copyright.PENANAsdgB5wmjUm
只要背對阡迴旅館一直向前走,自然就會離開那個詭異的地方!543Please respect copyright.PENANAi4Abv60I8c
543Please respect copyright.PENANARStUSp0Y0g
走著走著,海浪聲隨風飄至;走著走著,遠方出現巨大摩天大樓的輪廓。543Please respect copyright.PENANAigw3ltiv0N
543Please respect copyright.PENANAtb6023vhrq
海邊直路盡頭,不就東涌的屋苑嗎?543Please respect copyright.PENANAxln5ze1KdW
543Please respect copyright.PENANAQRj6KqrL7K
「哈…」543Please respect copyright.PENANArMLQC49Ky8
543Please respect copyright.PENANAqWwkRtAbOI
終,終於到了!543Please respect copyright.PENANAlnxM8Wx6ZP
543Please respect copyright.PENANAsdj3TqT7OK
「哈哈,哈哈哈哈!!」543Please respect copyright.PENANAXkg3mUrofh
543Please respect copyright.PENANAb938vnae5H
邁著愉快的腳步,我沿著海邊的直路走向東涌!雖然路上有點奇遇,但最終我還是成功回到市區,接下來確認時間,看看距離頭班車還有多久……543Please respect copyright.PENANAav78UwqeI3
543Please respect copyright.PENANAaxe5v0aSs9
02:23AM
543Please respect copyright.PENANAWBb54tcgoq
543Please respect copyright.PENANALx95UAVakl
「屌啊?!」543Please respect copyright.PENANAuyBNXpTFoH
543Please respect copyright.PENANAJwCYMzN9sk
時間沒有前進。543Please respect copyright.PENANAcRJsmrSnwG
543Please respect copyright.PENANAyjFNVUOGpY
我望向海平線的盡頭,那個「夕陽」依然掛在空中沒有下沉。從我那時候第一次見到夕陽後,太陽的高度就完全沒有變化,那輪旭日就這樣凝結在雲朵間俯視著我。543Please respect copyright.PENANAd9xn65VaxL
543Please respect copyright.PENANArVQFxENFcK
「無理由,無理由,痴線嘅咩,點可能?!點撚可能?!」543Please respect copyright.PENANAb8QjFW5R4b
543Please respect copyright.PENANAt9hJxHVVo4
我終於按捺不住心中的燥動,在路上狂吼著,怒嘯著向前狂奔!不知路上摔倒了幾次,我都霍地躍起繼續跑向高聳入雲的都市!這不可能,這不合理,這毫無道理可言!!543Please respect copyright.PENANADK3S9SgNv9
543Please respect copyright.PENANAcpJT3PD9et
阡 迴 旅 館
543Please respect copyright.PENANAmrbH8qhr4e
543Please respect copyright.PENANArALPJfJVP3
大廈的灰暗陰影中,一座格格不入的七層木塔巍然屹立著。543Please respect copyright.PENANAdKYMKioMMh
543Please respect copyright.PENANAyi2zUE1dT2
「嗄…嗄…」543Please respect copyright.PENANAtUk8j3a2GA
543Please respect copyright.PENANAeMe0xEvo7j
我抬頭看著滲著暖光的木塔,不敢相信眼前的異象。543Please respect copyright.PENANAIBGLw8PMop
543Please respect copyright.PENANARdxZeFG1Z8
「嘎——」543Please respect copyright.PENANArzi8l0fvNg
543Please respect copyright.PENANAd91gPcdMJ2
正當我無法以常理判斷眼前局面時,旅館的木門被一個人影打開,正是夏鈴兒。543Please respect copyright.PENANAUizxQydXjg
543Please respect copyright.PENANAqCAo9V2sUg
「喲,返嚟喇?」543Please respect copyright.PENANAbZD80TRr7I
543Please respect copyright.PENANA5yqdJf4rIp
穿著現代女僕裝的夏鈴兒輕輕步出,只見她沐於夕陽與旅館滲出的猩紅逆光之中,她右手輕撥耳垂邊的隨風輕擺的秀髮,風鈴髮飾奏鳴。543Please respect copyright.PENANAWYAsOrIxae
543Please respect copyright.PENANAYimJQma2Wr
略側身避著勁風的她微微回首向我微笑。543Please respect copyright.PENANAaJicjBwr7m
543Please respect copyright.PENANAtu03eyzK9M
「歡迎返嚟,溫年柏,容我再同你講一次——」543Please respect copyright.PENANAJq426JRqLP
543Please respect copyright.PENANASoCuzrFkAs
543Please respect copyright.PENANADPU1WlbK3N
543Please respect copyright.PENANAyfWlAWITya
543Please respect copyright.PENANA65V8DycQ4s
裙擺的邊緣,輕揚的髮絲,和身在逆光中的夏鈴兒,都閃爍著永恆夕陽的金光絢爛。543Please respect copyright.PENANAKQ3wgt0AMP
543Please respect copyright.PENANAVJjUnl2NMy
「——歡迎嚟到阡迴旅館。」
