位於諾谷湖鎮的住宅區， 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z8GtWTSHn
鎮上大多居民都住在獨立屋中， 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqtGstxiXd
獨立屋間有著小型花園作間隔。
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzbMUXgYtA
放眼過去就是兩排獨立屋，339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHYE1EdhzM
中間鋪設一道馬路的格局。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7THKCpnYaQ
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup4VMotstm
一名少年騎著雙輪單車在馬路旁小徑上奔馳， 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYdZQeD8lu
車頭上掛著兩個頂上有束口的白色布袋， 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUa6pgvwAT
布袋隨車速影響而左右擺動， 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEH7JNocXM
袋內裝有一卷卷報紙。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgMi1lRXE7
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlbVn1FGHd
年慬十二歲的送報員———偉兹每天清晨六點就開始工作，他的工作是把報紙送到住宅區內的每家每戶。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeNNFn1Gar
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQmbaCEIXf
基本工作流程就是以單車在區內移動，339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkplfm8aG95
在每楝獨立屋正門前稍作停留，339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAS2zHbSgl
從布袋中拿出一份報紙投到屋門前。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHacy3EhAig
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScM5H2q8xF
偉兹往往能把報紙精準地投到正門稍前位置，
屋內主人起床後甫走出門外就會看到刊有各種生活資訊的———馬可斯時報 放在草地上。
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PI28UXc95
而且偉兹從沒遺漏和出錯，
他總能在上學時間前就完成工作。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZOWOD01Z5
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmXwFC7SK8
偉兹和很多鎮上的小孩一樣， 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUbWnuOgjs
他對鎮外的世界有著無限憧憬。 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnMv9C006w
目標是買一部照相機。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0fCzyx3bu
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJrgYo6nSG
選擇這兼職的原因除了是為了賺零用錢， 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gGVoPXl7O
還能與報社及鎮民打好關係， 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rSmo6Lq2r
偉兹認為這對拓展人脈對將來的仕途很有幫助。 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMF0qqtTEp
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fd3s83bMt
諾谷湖鎮已連續幾天在雨天下渡過，339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbfFmwPC0S
直至昨晚深夜時份一場微微細雨後，339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrQcUIgV56
今天終於放晴， 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70KDS3HXsl
陽光落在偉兹的銀色愛車上顯得閃閃生輝。 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mAKRZCnQp
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qKfuqUeNK
偉兹今天的工作幾近尾聲， 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOdCtFu51r
送報地點只剩下三戶家庭。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb84wFdvdv9
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DOtJUcZ4E
一戶是貨車司機安東尼的家，339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWXH2MfGF0
安東尼與年紀老邁，雙腳不良於行的母親———賈思琳女士同住。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKwrg4ooDn
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi8e9Gjmaw
偉兹很喜歡安東尼一家， 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyq8jH3W6G
初相識時偉兹不太願意和安東尼相處， 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLTK1lBW0s
因為聽他說話真的很需要耐心。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhxykKVQbJ
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAMDnmQjGW
但只有安東尼聽完偉兹想買照相機的目標後，339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTyqrVjPHl
沒有笑他不自量力，339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqGNNqtH4U
反而以職務之便載他到大城市見識一下。 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiftjtjXGk
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutjtIsOTxU
那次是偉兹首次踏足諾谷湖鎮以外的地方，339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA34TjBL6DC
也是一次非常愉快的回憶。 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN48g6mwBb
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BlZjKAJ3U
安東尼用他極慢的語速，339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Lup2G0ega
試圖介紹大城市各種建築景物。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76XThTalKo
偉兹雖然聽得很吃力，但又覺得很幸福。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJfdWYYiKM
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2cAFyEwm8
吃著以前從未試過的食物，339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBXmdh9x0X
從車窗看著色彩繽紛的街景。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUSHq5RWr0
偉兹覺得安東尼真是一個難能可貴的朋友，339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdQCa6WoTG
而安東尼又因為工作關係常不在鎮上。
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivCI25cP7k
所以偉兹決定一定要在安東尼不在的時候好好照顧賈思琳女士。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrqRQFNX4X
他認為這是自己現時能為朋友做的一點回報。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkF4YrfZXs
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzfxKLZHij
賈思琳女士可說是鎮上最受歡迎的人物之一，339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcccuKDU1ZA
除了因為她拿手的蘋果批外，她還是個和藹可親的長輩，而且鎮上的小朋友都喜歡聽她說故事。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB9dNfRIj3
無論多頑劣的小孩，在賈思琳女士面前都會收斂一下。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpONQzyRupV
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgL0nQiu6Z
偉兹在賈思琳女士沒有發現的情況下投送報紙，報紙精準地落在安東尼家門前便快速遠去。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLelXoWoO8
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqxm3yi7nO
若果被賈思琳女士察覺的話，339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwtAKGHsFa
偉兹肯定會被她捉住一起吃早餐。 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVJ0pXD020
在偉兹這個年齡確實難以忍受長輩的嘮叨。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMdSO7THLw
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4INqQJHkzX
目的地只剩下雷爾夫先生一家和搬回鎮上的警官威衛恩探員。 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPB6cQD68R

隕落之炎 （11） 完339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36EUIGXcDI
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxDtunh0AZ
對話：鎮上關於雷爾夫．普斯特的奇怪傳言：339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn09lxu2x92
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EgCWIfF5y
“聽說艾露娜女士的丈夫常在晚上失蹤，
到第二天清晨才回到家。”339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg16Qb7lgW
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu2IerLuzh
“難道是和其他女人幽會？” 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizDQ4ZmVAa
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09cif9lYyI
“還以為雷爾夫先生是個好男人....”339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU3HQSvCOw
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRajQtYDSG
“真擔心小帕特里克將來會成為怎樣的大人。”
