沈應看著靜雲臉色幾變，起先是不甘、憤恨，最後隻餘頹敗，唇上一絲血色也無，沈應想著當日在窗下聽見的言語，再試一句，“你從前就知道。”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoupgaiYq4I
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw7Sog3gR6
撐在地上的手一顫，她再也跪不住，歪著身子坐在地上，臉上慢慢浮現淒苦之色，凝在眼眶中的淚，止也止不住。19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPFNJ9Yj46
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDaEDasJjy
一滴兩滴，似流不盡。19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnSz6iktO8
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlnXdq0KVn
看來有苗頭了，沈應欲要言語，再詐她一兩句，卻聽她啞著聲，“大人…可曾聽說過典妻？”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfw4TSzJIA
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwypUByhdK
“…此等惡習乃是前朝遺禍，齊朝律明令禁止，隻是南方一帶還是有人暗地裏買賣，屢禁不止，”男子沉聲，顯然對惡習深惡痛絕，“…我亦有所耳聞。”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe5XeqzFFZ
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMs5wqG4BF
南方一帶，前朝盛行典妻，將妻與人，齊朝立國，今上厭惡此等惡習，故而齊朝有法令予以嚴禁，然山野民間卻還見蹤跡。19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBq0I1SlrH
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TJjBhwcV6
靜雲恍惚一笑，似想起了什麼可恨的事，“是啊，齊朝律禁止，官府抓人…又哪能真的禁得了…”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynzR6TwfOm
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwvfp7vroB
沈應向前踏了一步，“你是說”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzIMEgTdYj
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA41txoYdG
“…說是典妻，不過是好聽點的說辭……說白了…是租女子的肚皮…”她摸了摸肚腹，“…留子不留妻。”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlopmeM4DuW
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu66sK1HbRg
殷實的人家，自然走不上典妻這一途。19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjugmAVnNB3
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNanX5ILDQ
靜雲家裏祖上還是殷實的人家，田產豐厚，家底也足，到了她爹那一輩，遇上百年難得一見的旱災，祖宅不得不賣與別人，祖上攢下的田產幾乎敗了個精光。19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdvzjg2h0h
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeDSfZl0I9
偏偏她爹年輕時沾染壞習氣，喝酒賭錢一樣不落，家裏越發差了，手裏有幾個錢，還能寬限幾天，等到家徒四壁，債主便上門討要，從兒時記事起，靜雲見得最多的，就是討債凶神惡煞的債主和抱著自己默默拭淚的娘。19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluMphqYMVY
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9h49en4QW
她那懦弱無能的爹，債主一上門，便扔下妻子和女兒，要等到晚上，才會躡手躡腳順著牆根溜進屋，喏諾地向妻兒賠不是，賭咒發誓再也不賭，幫著收拾一地狼藉——19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pt2qPbJ1J
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4RZ0Cpelt
討不了銀錢，那些人發起狠來，家裏能砸的東西自然砸個清光。19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgoidGit0X
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99KD0EL1Re
可等到了第二天，狐朋狗友一招呼，又故態複萌，一心要在賭桌上翻本。19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YHvhkQ0L2
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo4B3UzqHh
年複一年日複一日，等到靜雲年歲稍大，她爹漸漸打上了女兒的主意，十兩銀子，將她賣給了城裏的光棍。19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioVaUPiPN6
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPqizcIpUC
原以為離了家，勤快些就能過上好日子，誰知光棍也是個不成器的，抽煙、喝酒、賭錢，跟他爹差不了多少，輸了錢打她出氣，終於連本也輸淨，轉手將她典了出去。19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdzHKqW2JL
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdlO2uQeYg
一紙書文，三十兩，典給方員外生兒子。19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLTsLszL2Z
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OyuFn9JAd
她流著淚幽幽一歎，“…典肚皮求香火…若生了女娃，是要溺斃的…”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA73D7KBEV
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74VNiQzwNj
“典了三年…三年裏…孩子都是一生下來就被抱走了…”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHImJPdnGvp
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNksrguL2Q7
抱走的孩子能到哪裏去？南地一帶，尤諱養女，更何況是典妻生的女嬰。19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zUnbZSQE5
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuZ0ODTzSc
可憐的娃兒，投生到她的腹中，連抱也不曾就陰陽兩隔，靜雲一想起便肝腸寸斷，柔唇幾乎要咬出血來，心中大恨，“所以我恨，恨我那豬狗不如的夫君！恨把我典去的方員外！恨不得能咬下他們的肉！可我、我又能如何？”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN4gYaH2MU
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UqGFlMQZM
二十歲的光景，娘家沒有人撐腰，便是再恨又能怎樣？她隻能逃。19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa9CHYG2NT
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO33dilyNT
靜雲原想從陸路逃去端州，又怕方家的人沿途追上，“我聽方員外家裏的下人說走水路極快，便打算偷偷上去端州的船，臨走到底還是放心不下我娘，回了家裏一趟，你猜怎麼著？”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16iAwnRj1P
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZL69NoB97
“那個男人竟然將娘也典了…哈哈”她笑得癲狂，笑得眼角閃出了淚花，“前腳賣女兒…後腳典妻…等回去…我娘已死了兩年…”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdcgKBSFIc
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc9Nn6zBMW
良久，唇角的笑再也撐不住，靜雲方木然道，“臨走前，我親手放了一把火，他不是喝得醉生夢死麼，送他下去，正好替世間除一禍害。”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EHxPodkVy
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTJ1NWWfad
沈應沉默良久，才道，“後來你如何到的靜月庵？”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrGtoKZuuv
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDVz0IAL0E
“孤身女子出門在外，不得不小心，我尋思女子身份不便，喬裝扮作了男子，塗黑臉混上船，跟船到了端州。”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ7lvd8jPx
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFxXiYv3cD
“也是運氣好，正好遇上藥堂招工，我在山裏幹活識得幾味藥，後來得了掌櫃賞識，留在藥堂做工賺點銀子過活。”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXKzdwSZPq
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh6wpH9RRg
從前家裏沒有糧食，她也曾上山采野果，識得一些常用的藥草。19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2KHbhFprz
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGF6kUwan7
“妙雲師太說你夫君姓嚴，又是怎麼回事？”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IRxnPQSfz
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNVTbIPCPy
“那人來藥堂買藥，一來二去看對了眼，我便索性跟他過日子，也算再嫁了罷。”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkzMieT7aa
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyPeolBKbj
她眼前似蒙了一層雨霧，唇畔那抹笑意輕柔，語意也柔，“雖然窮，那人幹活有一把子力氣，村裏的人也信他，家裏慢慢也就好起來了…”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSTw0j6uD5
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4KjcAu3Rk
日子雖然苦，可還是有盼頭的，地是自家的，收成不好也不必看誰的臉色，她在藥堂銀錢雖然不多，好歹有份營生，夫妻倆自食其力。19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl9kioAVsT
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVwJbpA58n
若真好起來，她又怎會出現在靜月庵，當中定然出了其他變故，沈應凝神再聽，猜想著其中緣由。19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dJUSXU4M4
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GGoAzylRN
“後來他不甘心過看老天臉色的日子，道要出去找些能賺大錢的活，自打外出辦事回來後便跟換了一個人似的，對我不似往常…”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUpZWo8Z5q
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCVYuKH8CS
沈應心中一動，“可知是什麼營生？”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlsrKXAB0v
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf4u6Ag4TZ
“我起先也是好奇…問得多了，那人便發起狠來把我打了一頓，我沒法子連夜逃了去，後來得庵裏收留，在靜月庵出家…”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhxcwFzP2Q
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WZ8fzCP7u
“誰知入了庵裏半個月，他便托人找上門。”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjJoxuzbkO
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV99BZD1NEw
這事確實奇怪，沈應瞧著靜雲臉色不似作偽，“他也親自來尋過你，你們見麵是以上香遮掩吧。”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspg5TJzxf5
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cY35LgbQ4
“沒想到大人連遮掩的法子也知道，果然是被賣透了…”靜雲苦笑，她重新跪正了身子，對沈應道，“是，他托人找上來的次數一多，我尋思著也避不開。”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH364Y6BWof
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjICwKQjA8
“況且那營生也是古怪…說是讓我留心來庵裏上香的女子，將獨行的女子，以及家眷一道來的，住哪間靜室分辯仔細，這活兒算不得難，銀錢也足，我便一直替他留心。”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvJThwNRfF
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0p9rz4bvo
“讓你留心這些，是他自己主意，還是有人指使？你難道從不起疑用意？”這女尼有古怪之處，可她若完全不曾疑過背後用意，沈應無論如何也不信。19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4XQD3u8KC
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUABklBXG1T
男子居高臨下，臉色寒峻，語意森冷，靜雲不自覺抖了抖，自嘲一笑，“那人能有什麼主意，往常老實本分的人突然發起狠來，被人當槍使，怎麼死的也不知道…我一開始還真不覺，隻覺這事來錢快又不費勁，哪裏細想那麼多，不怕大人見笑，我實是窮怕了！”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMtp3F6ir5
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGmn0KQv9b
生父為了償清賭債將她賣了，夫君為了銀錢也能將她典與別人生孩子，她這二十幾年活得窩囊，命裏總跟錢一字過不去，麵前擺了一個賺錢的好機會，那人待她不好，可有了銀錢她往後也能過上好日子，靜雲一咬牙便和那人一起幹起了勾當。19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh17rlsCRcl
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzppriysRF
“你幾時發覺不對？”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCNIfzhBVt
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhDIrfm5oi
靜雲細細回想，眸光幽遠，“那一日是雨天…我恰好在觀音殿後的簷下避雨。上山的香客不多，隻有前一天宿下的香客，他們在觀音殿上香，還有人尋庵裏的師姐解夢。”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFrav7VWQr
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37hd6r0D7k
“若是一人還自罷了，偏偏我留心的那些個女子，大半做了夢，雖然有些個記不清了，大抵還是八九不離十的…”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S0igeP7Cl
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fogxTzNUZ
沈應蹙眉，“他們夢見了何事？”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDiBsAmmiy
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAdiJNvI5T
“…與人雲雨的春夢，兩相印證我便知此事壞了。”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHizhaPfNt6
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlgvcMeWp3
靜雲還是留了一些心眼，她初得知時真是驚得心兒砰砰跳，連飲了兩盞茶才緩過來，後來旁敲側擊其他香客，也就東拚西湊了大半，“等我發覺不對，靜月庵的求子靈驗名聲已經傳遍，來的婦人也就更多了。”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMRgsy3ok1
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U3z4ZL7ns
“你是說求子的那些”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSifyYcBcdY
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFhaoBiTWT
這事牽連甚廣，饒是沈應也不由倒吸一口涼氣，庵裏每年來往的香客有多少，要是真如靜雲說的——19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRJU1mkUxx
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxJFXD7Iy7
那些道求子靈驗得來的娃娃…19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jH6Bwrt03
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e23Orfrgt
他待平複下來細想，又覺此事古怪，不免起疑，“放那些人全數離去，難道就不怕他們回去說起？”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU6131V5ea
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMF7tXHnSy
靜雲指著門外道，“大人忘了這裏是庵院嗎？半夢半醒之中，說是托夢誰又能辯真假，至於那些個真發覺了的…”19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGULYdfatO
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd3zgnkeVP
真發覺了的，自然走不出靜月庵，沈應看著女尼垂首，口中不能成言，不由冷哼了聲。19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmQFXTYMGX
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom9sycqpkl
看來她知曉發覺真相的下場，這也是石雕底下屍骨的由來。19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM9Q9lGkfu
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfAn2poxOc
有求子的靈驗名聲在前，尋常人做了春夢也羞於提起，大約還以為心誠則靈菩薩托夢罷，隻要稍稍運作一番，借解夢也能遮掩過去，這靜雲口中所言身世固然可憐，可她後邊所為，雖非元凶也是幫手，脫不得幹係。19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqsHHnR2uY
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1PGt2ZrT2
靜雲言畢心中忐忑，上首立著的男子容貌英武，眸子靜沉如淵，她一路說下來，也難看見有何起伏波動，眼下靜默不言，她心裏也就越發不安了。19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohmvXJ6i9D
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ2vn2YJKp
當初怎麼會想攀上他，為自己找一個靠山，好讓他帶自己離開靜月庵…19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2G3o0PxN3
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQWI9xr3Y5
“嗒嗒”男子長指輕敲著桌案，那兩下極有韻律，不急不躁，靜雲下意識抬眸，正對上男子凜寒的麵容，頜邊線條冷厲。19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV1cQXXFiE
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21wSJi5R8o
“你沒說全，靜雲。”
