迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3g3mv6HnO
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgd2EVqRYj
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHwkgHK9Eb
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IdWcXJO1E
杜若四肢著地地爬出櫥櫃，然後回過頭托著紫藤的肩膀離開那片狹小的黑暗。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0nuRtochL
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFuuFIFrnn
兩人並著肩在階梯旁仰起頭喘著氣，久違地照進眼裡的燈光刺眼眩目，但再怎麼說也比不見天日的黑暗要來得令人安心。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pxKUUrzjo
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMKhzgTGEX
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uQZ5f25My
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iki0M6AuI
就連喘息的時間也如同光明般狹窄，兩人不可能在這再休息到早晨來臨。於是，杜若一感覺到力氣開始回流到四肢時，就起身伸出手牽起虛弱的紫藤。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c42txMP8B
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACHxzeZgDD
「走吧。我們一起回去。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUCmlFbptu
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDz6zXt1XR
這麼說了之後，杜若便鑽進紫藤的脅下，用窄小的肩頭努力撐起紫藤向前。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKRogiHrxp
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXIAg7xH8d
一路上，兩人就這樣攙扶著彼此，幸運地毫無阻礙便回到了西區。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz2GW7sqag
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncOUp7Osyi
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKuGjBu42i
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D8iqS2snS
「嗚……！」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b82NDum8L
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eR159tGDg
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeBRZvv1qb
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEEnan67qz
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek6cQFmqsB
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpGbF0Ai83
回到西區的路上，紫藤甚至虛弱到就連話都沒辦法說了。所以哪怕只是一聲也好，杜若也想要聽見紫藤的聲音。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjujapKWAJK
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMniIlQAnf
而痛楚彷彿把紫藤的魂給拉了回來，宛如大夢初醒般地看了杜若和手中的棉花棒後，紫藤才喘著氣、略略地頷首。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR7nYnLjdE
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL58QZhtuu
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0Qj9QoO6I
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU3fTeuaJ0
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTbdZLqXZl
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLmQpcFXSc
如果不是自己想要聽信墨駒，也不會讓墨駒有機可趁了——但現在後悔也沒有用，照顧受傷的紫藤才是眼下應該做的事。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPg0Ig5lvb
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjyCn4jgyM
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGUI8bUaX2
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9RaV1KBQ6
「呼、呼……嗚——！」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBkgFiimNc
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4PRLYzmFv
紫藤試著吸氣來緩和疼痛，卻還是沒辦法不吃痛地發出聲音來。清潔並上完藥後，杜若小心地用紗布蓋起那道駭人的傷口並纏上繃帶，原本純白的繃帶立刻就被染成了一片暗紅。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPUbuGpass
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHbXLXbz19
現在只能做這樣的應急處理，等到明天還是得去醫院才行。幸好公用醫療箱裡頭還有這些基本的醫療用品，不然就這樣放著傷口，今晚紫藤恐怕連躺下都會有困難。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOhdHU0uz5
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucwoGpprxp
疼痛過了幾次呼吸才終於緩和下來。杜若拿來水杯靠在紫藤的嘴巴上，讓紫藤小口小口地補充水分。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vHDejoLJS
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUP7LY9JSa
滋潤冰涼地滑過喉間，直到此時、紫藤才終於有種放下心來的感覺。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfXuk2p5Xo
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBbOUvtPDl
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRishfkotmR
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW55NoxCFqX
杜若關心的神情就好像是流經喉頭的水那樣沁入了紫藤的胸口。於是紫藤點點頭，再次把嘴湊了過去。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LmOR1gT9M
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7lqNtpcrX
等到杯子空了、正想伸手擦乾嘴角時，杜若就先一步用手帕抹上了紫藤的嘴角。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXIh6cjSq6
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE7tO8zR62
「……謝謝。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrX3ugiph4
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ464pyr3N37
「不會啦，現在也輪到我照顧紫藤了。」杜若收起手帕，露出了彷彿可以烘乾衣服的溫暖笑容。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIEoFwQT1k
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuwzu8Jy3Z
明明、對方不久前才在自己的面前殺了人，但現在看著杜若的側臉，紫藤卻盡只感到安心跟鬆了一口氣的感覺一湧而上。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWawXIdEsRu
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz55QUfaO9o
是自己終於開始習慣了嗎？那時，紫藤的手上就已經流滿鮮血，卻只有砸在墨駒臉上時所沾上的溼黏感格外鮮明。就好像在入睡前的一場夢境，令紫藤感到有些恍惚。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMsePaN96M
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzgtmJtXZf
不過，這無疑都是事實。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZDp1Eu6kq
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDFceWGksz
掌心中，那枚墨駒沒能拿回去的、鑲著淡紫色寶石的銀戒就是最好的證據。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxu3UFivHD
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesF49ATOMa
紫藤壓根也沒想到有能夠尋回這枚戒指的一天。對紫藤來說、只受這點傷就找回了它簡直是太划算了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMRST1Id6k
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpd8JZTR93
「紫藤、這個戒指到底是……？」杜若好奇地看著手中的戒指，疑惑地歪過頭。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNWavNcsB2
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm91oDtmDZ
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiVxXaxfXa
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6WA8qXyAc
「是我媽媽的遺物。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazUPcl2HEo
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS5hVbtwnQ
戒指的內緣刻著一行寫著母親名字的小字，證明了這就是那枚獨一無二的戒指。雖然紫藤對父親沒有任何印象，但母親卻經常以懷念的面容提起關於父親的事情。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYam2zVOZqT
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhp6oepz9Y
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HJ20yYPeH
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrIrIcSdw8
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQtep9GCOa
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihw7TmhPyz
紫藤從來不曾對同輩的人說過這些事，但現在、紫藤卻覺得讓杜若知道也無妨。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOFuOYZWwP
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6yhyuSYVS
「可是媽媽他、就是被沙華會的人給殺死的。」就好像在試圖壓下傷口的灼熱似地，紫藤輕撫著前臂的紗布，緩緩地繼續說道：449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhkj8IqgGu
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdrZFYLaug
「小時候，我的媽媽曾經向沙華會借過錢。但最後，媽媽卻因為還不出錢來……而被沙華會給殺了。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LuWnNX35A
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvdw1XTsxW
媽媽並不是沒辦法還出錢來，只是在最後一刻、錢竟然被劫走了。紫藤怎麼想都覺得奇怪、為什麼就這麼剛好在那種時候？如今，紫藤認為那一切全都是沙華會的伎倆，他們根本沒有想讓母親還清債務的意思，只想在那一年裡壓榨完母親所有的心力、等到沒價值了就宰殺掉而已。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmwkOW5z0m
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuw2RSEz7r
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oTU7ltwg5
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7c5hlecHU
紫藤至今——至死都不會忘記母親在自己的眼前被殺掉的畫面。年幼的自己只能無力地躲在一旁，看著母親殘忍地被一刀刀殘殺至死。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8PMYdo9Ba
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfK2WEOcjW
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHqV87zqMZ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah8iSNx8n6
只是，紫藤也從未想過竟然會在途中找到母親生前的遺物，紫藤覺得自己簡直幸運的無以復加。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00aYoWXEe4
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYS7H2WV5N
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktXbl9nqiW
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9koYk6wPa
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtw3CnmWKH
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbkVZl1nkB
對紫藤來說，媽媽所留下的東西沒有一個不是珍貴的。無論是這個房間、髮飾、還是這枚戒指，都是媽媽曾經存在過的證明。哪怕再也微不足道，紫藤也想要盡可能地將它們攬在手中。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx8TFo9H9n
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjEvovLgZv
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpO0DVYS1E
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnGNCZeUVJ
「紫藤的媽媽是個什麼樣的人、可以跟我說說嗎？」杜若露出了既好奇又害怕冒犯的眼神、試探地探出腦袋。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbOmiRJolL
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp8SdfJvRS
紫藤思考地垂下了眼簾幾秒。而再次睜開眼時，紫藤已經將目光放到了不知遙遠的何處。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10qBXhxM1L
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDRWwCIMFU
「媽媽他——」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxZyEnMbo7
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrZPaHpBUO
以這句話做為開場白後，紫藤便將那些早已被自己翻到泛黃的回憶給拿了出來。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph0zwgNLVt
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0gxXHDBxw
小時候，紫藤最常從街上的大叔大嬸嘴聽到的一句話就是「跟媽媽很像」。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRBs2WiA5j
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKIJPOf2yn
同樣有著一頭的黑色長髮、話也同樣不怎麼多。而唯一不同的，就是媽媽是個非常堅強的女性，總是用那粗糙而修長的手把紫藤給攬在身後。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1SFY3gH0W
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzYAEZ0YLl
而媽媽在南區有間小小的、買賣布料的店面，小時候的紫藤最喜歡的就是跟在媽媽後頭一起做生意。儘管有時候會因為笨手笨腳而挨其他大叔大嬸的罵，但那卻是紫藤最為快樂的一段時光。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdVDsvFBxt
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3uX2IvOY1
只是在紫藤逐漸長大後，媽媽卻漸漸不希望紫藤跟著自己，而想要把紫藤託付給學校。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3iuiZuLvK
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3684UzCHU
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvybVmmFpER
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gWcC86M8p
比起那些吵吵鬧鬧又喜歡惡作劇的小孩子，紫藤更喜歡跟在可靠卻寡言的媽媽後頭，幫忙結帳、整理或是裁剪布料。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w00aCSjJU
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiY2w49i24
對當時的紫藤而言，媽媽這麼做就好像是想要把自己給拋棄一樣。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5tiLsfuij
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumCsXiALA8
於是紫藤頭一次跟媽媽吵架了。那是一場紫藤單方面地對著媽媽出氣的架，從頭到尾媽媽都只是靜靜地傾聽著紫藤的任性，偶爾像在思考著什麼地低下頭來。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Aq03nfr0u
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUcRDruJO1
而在那之後，媽媽就再也沒有要紫藤去上學了。只是摸摸紫藤的頭以後，就像以前一樣，讓磕磕絆絆的紫藤跟在自己的後頭做生意。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrIwvurQgJ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz8PeXcwRT
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyqPGTYnmo
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoHuzN0i58
然而這樣的日子持續不久。在一個秋天的傍晚、鉛炭鎮發生了一起極其嚴重的意外。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqqM7GB88Z
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZVwEeSvXO
那是一起倒塌事件。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1hqPVi7mf
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy5KezraNt
由於鉛炭鎮的樓房蓋的十分緊密，因此只要一棟樓倒塌，便極容易引發連鎖效應。那起倒塌事件就現在的記載，足足有將近二十棟的樓房倒塌、傷亡數更是難以記載。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKR82rVAcx
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS2K2GpfrM
雖然沒有受到倒塌事件的直接傷害，但媽媽的店面卻因此全毀，讓兩人頓時失去了幾乎所有的財產。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcnls9l9LN
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiYGLupNaT
那之後就如紫藤所說，媽媽為了生存而選擇向沙華會借貸。在那一年裡，媽媽幾乎從未闔眼休息、只為了賺回損失的財產。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTBEpU13KG
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvwgUdynjJ
那時的媽媽早已面容枯槁。而殘忍地將其心力、金錢、生命盡數奪走的惡意，正是沙華會。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqG78fbDF0
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWD3TZ4fub
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE3HbYRoEo
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6rOrqsNSE
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpCh9HLCsU
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhKqNpgg8g
「然後，殺了他。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorfFG1bPNI
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzHNUHyAP4
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngIR3wVb30
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsmoOVPsDe
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSkN7u2f3n
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pUgUxduIN
「可是、我卻下不了手。」紫藤無力地鬆開了手：「不管怎麼樣……我都沒辦法像杜若妳那樣。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIMo3QqHZh
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLORenvXc8t
明知道沙華會是惡，紫藤卻無法真的對那群敗類下殺手。也許正是因為那時媽媽遭到殺害的畫面烙印得太過深刻，紫藤才會下意識地抑制著、不讓那副景象再次出現吧。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3IWsXQ0lR
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGMSqcCYHF
而自己的這份軟弱，既沒有人可以幫助紫藤克服，也不會有人能夠理解——除了杜若。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TsCZFLRkI
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNEPCTVRdl
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0Bu3fNMr2
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdafO5fNYa0
「……嗯。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3TEOLQR2l
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnis5KIw6rd
那時見到的杜若是如此純粹，就好像一把剛從水中淬出的刀刃般，不帶著任何一絲污穢。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQVmqEqOO7
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanYL9UtIsI
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptvvtSaZPe
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PUqmhUUCH
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF2pOeKYBF
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyVDaKHrVp
「……杜若妳呢？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhioMCU6cD
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU8ka25ryW
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21ecNpDVFC
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡova6Q1Jazi
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVzOckmFL5
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hFRCS81io
剛才、杜若確實說過想要請鎮裡最好的醫生，但杜若看起來並不像是患有什麼嚴重疾病或是殘缺的樣子。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwwMNYTG23
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcOyDvpBuY
聽見紫藤的疑問，杜若就好像是在思考、也像是在害怕似地垂下了眼簾。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxn6IEs6uk
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKnAu59OIg
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw92cetQlj
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVmMsKf8L0
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsrY6Ywghg
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfL52mxTsA
但如果是要請醫生，怎麼樣也不會是做不好的事吧？紫藤這麼想著，舉起沒受傷的手摸了摸杜若的頭頂。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDg8o1zWAc
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4cxzuORxa
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzuhTRyzoG
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ktxUHSNU6
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHniAE0JhQ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjzI9Immhl
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSo3vleNNM
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwr7KSGHmx
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK4cwIjESw
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv99jJD3yck
之前見到陶壺叔確實是在北大街，但陶壺叔本人看上去並沒有多大的病痛呀？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaX9LaEsmt
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH25pt2tcci
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa5TMWst20
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJAjQo0ggD
「陶壺叔生的是一種會讓身體漸漸沒辦法動的病。醫生說，雖然現在只有手指，但很快就會變成手、腳、身體……最後是心臟。只要過不了四年，陶壺叔就會被那種病給殺死了。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWRDnbcpH9
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHZPuh70Az
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4MnchLMRk
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugECw76mzq
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb2R7bqvN1
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk69iVswvgF
「我也偷偷問了很多醫生，但他們都說那是一種沒辦法治好的病。明明是這樣，但陶壺叔從來都沒跟我說過、還一直都笑著裝作沒事。直到我不小心聽到其他醫生跟白鵑提到陶壺叔，我才知道陶壺叔一直都瞞著我。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaMGlSr92A
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrM1Ty4YuZ
「現在陶壺叔已經沒辦法走很長的路、也不太能拿重的東西了。」杜若的口氣變得哀傷起來，卻也有一份同等重量的不甘心。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8AIVKqPaG
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySDJrMOIno
「我明明也想要幫忙陶壺叔的，可是、我卻不知道自己到底該怎麼做才好——因為就連醫生都沒辦法了嘛。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMAR5cke1z
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YLbo55lZp
杜若的笑只看得見無力。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7QwF521ZS
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHpMyUdcaX
「直到有天，狐狸告訴我說她有辦法，但前提就是要幫忙她去殺掉那些人。所以，狐狸才發給了我這把槍、還有手機。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YCUNLXetI
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62Qa4mKYlF
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPu3pwnhdl
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQq04UZzHs
並不是因為仇恨，也不是因為利益，而只是單單地想要為某人而付出。杜若的理由就跟個性一樣是如此單純、甚至令紫藤的胸口刺痛。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGhdQflHpu
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp1RzjZzjE
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0RAqnaMQ8
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN2z5EslRq
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTQJXFDpMl
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lqdd5KI3t
如果就連鎮裡最優秀的人都沒辦法了，狐狸又怎麼可能醫好陶壺叔的病？再者，就算殺死的是沙華會的人，讓還只是女孩的杜若去持槍犯險本身就很荒謬。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEpRqTRYTk
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVhXqLoF27
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5CZIA3ddV
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRr3zbLtWK
杜若笑了。卻讓人分不清那是真的笑容、還是在故作堅強，讓紫藤的鼻子裡無聲地滑過一陣酸楚。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMqyWPa1it
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhgqqxU9Td
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfGNB3vVPQ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWlKAtC2OV
杜若就好像在對自己喊話似地緊緊握起拳頭，但小小的手中、有的卻只有虛無。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZLul970PI
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojA1NX2cxj
也許這麼說太過自以為是，但紫藤從這道笑容裡看到的並不是想要相信、而是不得不相信。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62RRXVq38W
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoi0Bsvta0
只因為狐狸的許諾是杜若的最後一絲曙光。所以杜若除了抓住它以外也別無他法——僅僅就只是如此而已。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBuyc3sCm1
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRK1xj1eYJ
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjgCUw62Mv
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckJDmBUpyo
紫藤也曾望著母親的背影被偽裝成曙光的惡火給吞噬殆盡。但只因為如此，就可以不負責任地說聲「放棄吧」把一切希望給澆熄嗎？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHa1vGiU0j

這怎麼可能。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEou9rngoj
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrCgGkX9qH
沒有人知曉光芒的後頭是陽光亦或是惡火，但倘若停止腳步、也只會在黑暗消逝。無論是誰，追逐光芒都是與生俱來的本能。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLLK9cxAPK
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kZYuhzocI
看著杜若緊握的手，紫藤便不捨地伸出手、略顯生硬地鑽進了那冰涼而纖弱的掌心。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB1Y1S1LVM
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ376YEKBwZ7
也許，杜若一直都是握著這樣飄渺晃蕩的希望走來，但起碼現在、紫藤能夠確實地握住杜若。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeUrw6e4Yj
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52ifvL5QuR
如果杜若前進的方向是惡火，那紫藤就要在最近的地方拉住杜若。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPupTogaRlI
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaICrFspmFM
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhlBu9g6CR
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3tcu3WADz
轉動手腕、解開五指，那份只屬於兩人相握時的溫熱便從掌心蔓延到了指縫449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiazOYo8cPr
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncyzmretnA
「但就算這樣，我也還是想自己去試試看。」經過短暫的沉澱，杜若再次充滿生氣地抬起頭來。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCvc8z9ayd
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlG4rhNCMN
「我想只要有夠多的錢的話，也許就可以把大家一起找來、找出能夠馬上醫好陶壺叔的辦法了！」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVZqgkMI0X
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B55fEXrVL
剛才籠罩著的陰鬱被一掃而空，杜若看著紫藤，露出了開朗的笑容。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbkNHC5z4e
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UBGKwgN5F
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZlDBJzBUW
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8VOGXhy70
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvBgO9B9e3
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubSxv1ELt6
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnC9LjlVML
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWxLRgLk2r
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fU0TEmGfJ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx3Hl6PxKs
這問題讓紫藤才想起自己從沒有跟杜若——不、甚至是從沒有跟任何人說過這件事。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNnyQoQeUy
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ctqCPGxQE
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviiLHlR04p
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf52pO3oMYK
從腦海深處的角落翻出這片景象。那人在殺害媽媽時，紫藤只有一瞬間記下了那個至今都從未看見第二次的特殊紋身。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS4q2kTYpK
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHirSGBSjw
「沙華會的紋章幾乎都是鮮紅色的、有白色條紋的紋身……我就只見過那麼一次。但不管我怎麼找、那個人卻就好像消失了一樣，再也沒有出現過。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUMTTPSHg7
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsbnlJxXhI
而唯一有可能知道的墨駒已經被殺了，但紫藤並不感到後悔。比起狡獪的他們，紫藤更寧願靠自己的手去搜索。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR0GDmAihg
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL8iCeBWza
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffLYB7g8id
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIokzwqBGI
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOp6j10tq5
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGsfPsqYwG
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPiqBVMJi7
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxzoiPj2el
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftxqunxxsO
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC5IkRwjxN
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3djtoj7DO8
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOecf4ysv4
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGJVLzzIas
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQiUau9azm
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzqLzOFGbl
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78dTOKFLkI
「這本來就是我自己的事。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4tbTPDud8
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn9XnlMMAH
就算杜若能夠輕鬆地下殺手，但自己的復仇跟杜若是兩回事。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxg46kmAu0
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5135nuL39v
紫藤很清楚自己的眼前只有惡火。而單單只是殺手的任務就已經足夠危險，杜若根本沒有必要為此承擔這些危險。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFldPfbwzgK
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz2AMIhtrf
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLdsoQikCw
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OCQG8cC1q
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxZgxAYywt
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo7rQ27Wj2
紫藤明白杜若的擔憂。但紫藤正是為了不讓自己在完成復仇前先被吞沒，才用盡了心力去磨練自己。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOkC21j78n
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBCBSC4FIp
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq4cUokQvW
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLNc0gtvqt
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1bYXZTHS7
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIta6wrhkeO
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaaVEyA37c
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bQT80zLo0
看見紫藤一副無所謂的模樣，杜若更是焦急到話都說不清楚了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYzS2IcY0y
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJrBuF7cXc
紫藤沒能給出杜若期待的回應。卻還是於心不忍地輕握住了杜若的手。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1ol49Blw8
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAmo66Jsuu
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7egetB43I
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKHzXh7jxI
「明明、明明紫藤也硬是摻進了我的事情，現在卻又說這種話、這樣真的太不公平了……」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhul8hEZ38
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUF0Gk14UN
杜若像個鬧彆扭的孩子一樣發起脾氣，但鬧彆扭的人卻總是最認真的。也因此，紫藤才無從反駁。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWa9ke5fJo
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFIDQE8CeG
是啊，明明就是自己先不講理地要杜若帶著自己的，這樣又有什麼資格拒絕杜若呢？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWV35pBFcv
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsj8nP30n4
但就算不公平也好，紫藤之所以握著杜若的手，絕非是要杜若陪著自己跳進火海。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6dteX5YdP
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1AiPvrH4S
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR3JvDIFGd
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zrL0e4qtD
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFdCPfHLm2
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUuwK6FFY2
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSdnFOpNIC
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mIJfMsvXT
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb9MN4zfyo
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hXU7cYIsM
在八年前的那個夜晚、紫藤也是那樣地看著母親被一刀刀殘殺致死——明明注視著、卻什麼也做不了的無力是多麼令人痛苦，紫藤比任何人都還要明白。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEg0CfBysZ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkqT3kM8BA
杜若也正是因為這樣的痛苦，才選擇了這條看似荒謬的道路。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g1pMr5JuH
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF1ID3W538
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrIvK2RQlq
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpspbLmJAq3
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cwpVpjYWN
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94KOOVyfCN
看見杜若受傷，自己會感到痛苦。而看見自己受傷，杜若會感到痛苦。然而若是因此什麼也不做，又有誰能夠替枉死的母親報仇雪恨？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRu82g9xbG
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5juCEW9vy
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIyiTOp7No
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjVIJ5qTwN
如今，在這條路上有個願意走到身旁攜手並進的人，又為何不欣然接受就好？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9zaLOqyvo
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X7GRIDbV9
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTnopdlznj
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GBuAOw6I6
但、當初不就是因為明白自己沒辦法獨自走完腳下的路，所以才會自顧自地跟在杜若後頭不是嗎？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNazOrCSqg
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN9Yf2KgF5
如果說想要把什麼東西給握在手裡、就免不了被刺出鮮血。那麼起碼受傷的方式可以交由彼此來抉擇。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl43MFTCn6
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX9NUWfN3z
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17Ei2ycUNs
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECsN3UJPub
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EsqT3ElMQ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKC4P0nWFA
紫藤不帶一絲玩笑地注視著杜若的雙眼，而看見紫藤的神情，杜若才終於破涕為笑。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTBo0zRjnk
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfeGtFkkww
「可是，紫藤會保護我的吧？這樣我的份不就用不到了？」杜若歪著頭反問。然後扣緊了紫藤安放在腿上的手。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS7hqBEKVU
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaym3mGk4s
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwPGisXhqD
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV49xj130Ys
紫藤雖沒有點頭，卻還是回望著對方微微笑，回握住指縫間的柔軟。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGirWFrktax
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxrl6hcIqX
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxiM8njxVx
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvwrj5NHVb
頭一次看見紫藤的笑容，讓杜若欣喜地舉高手，卻不小心拉起了紫藤負傷的前臂而使紫藤臉色一緊。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyCTUgWcWf
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwMpgrpB4f
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaXaLnykPO
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsbQCqlCm2
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAVpM029tJ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXugWY71fZr
「……對了！」這時，杜若突然靈機一動地眼神一亮：「不知道可不可以請狐狸幫紫藤找找看呢？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgspbNfxrl
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAqo4UIdQ1
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zoIfB8Cwz
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZAVeR5pCz
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gJNTTTnZa
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Kv4H7c6X
應該說如果那個狐狸不擅長，就不可能精確地知道目標的出沒地點與時間吧。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC0MjNoQvJ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3TYzgqFZP
紫藤確實沒想到這個方法——不，更應該說是刻意忽略掉了才是。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEacxXr87yY
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1HBvTQvDB
紫藤還是沒辦法相信一個就連臉都沒見過、還讓杜若做這麼危險的事情的人。把這樣重要的任務託付給對方真的妥當嗎？光是想的就有種不踏實感。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5RFJS75Rn
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmbneJsvVZ
不過，如果那個狐狸願意幫忙，也許真的會是一大助力。比起自己的脾氣，不是更應該去想要怎樣才能早一步替母親報仇雪恨才對嗎？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ofxb24ixp
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y48tWfl8X
自己尋覓這麼多年來都毫無所獲，而現在就有一個或許能夠跨出一大步的機會，又怎麼能夠放棄？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpdCPTV8ax
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JGXkdaIik
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvIBhWYb8Q
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdb7AJ2jCw
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTAuvPbzrY
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNra7aV4Wj
就在這時，紫藤注意到了杜若的手肘與膝蓋上也有著斑斑的擦傷。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXsCwLX34K
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVbxt1u0Ww
是被墨駒踢倒的時候撞上的吧。雖然不比紫藤嚴重，但印在杜若柔嫩的肌膚上、還是格外叫人心疼。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkR76qGs49
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysSCxPF6py
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr69iKLxXL
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5Z2yHY5ai
被紫藤一說，杜若才發覺似地看了看自己的傷，露出一派輕鬆的笑容。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUtlAANNIr
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1uW83KNVO
「我這點傷才沒事啦～」說完，杜若從醫療箱裡頭翻出了幾條止血貼布遞給紫藤。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7oZfrkCZD
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNu0TII021
「貼這個應該就可以了。紫藤就幫我一下吧。」說完，杜若也爬到床上坐到了一旁。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrelXSyHXOR
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu8g2k3PcJ
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKscfsn0b8Q
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwRnXNVxXO
「動作不需要太大，沒問題的。」慢慢地撕開膠帶後，紫藤往杜若受傷的手肘上貼去、神情專注。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgpNxcyrJc
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbisNE5Vst
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlowSghED8
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarJCMkvKoq
輕輕撫平皺起的部分，紫藤這才發現杜若一動也不動地盯著自己。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4RPvq6CgV
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT4JIcMoTS
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTHWwiQLVA
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO54E1BCNN
「唔嗯、沒有呀。」盯得出神的杜若這才回過神來地搖搖頭，靦腆地說道：449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDqz2iIBU0
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9js1P7Pee
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62QM0xtmp3
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq2YUwAW4I
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRHFnaDbp1
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkwvzJ7tTw
在道場偶爾也會有人這麼稱讚紫藤——儘管紫藤從不這麼覺得——但明明是同樣的誇獎，為什麼從杜若的嘴巴裡說出來感覺就是不一樣呢？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUgDFFIf8K
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki2AYS6NPb
「我、我……」不知道該怎麼回應的紫藤搓著發熱的耳朵，無所適從地左右張望，最後才低下頭、用著連自己都快聽不到的聲音悄聲地說了句：449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8iGE27HEh
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIcHuAZ4ew
「謝謝……」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv76Lg6Oxh7
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVufZUqKLD
「嗯？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYb69qjjcS
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7WhPIScwp
「沒、沒有……！」紫藤彷彿像要掩飾過去拉高音量，匆忙地接著說道：「比起那些、還有膝蓋的傷……！」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVjHwHcEs5
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2a7aPK4zs
杜若雖然有些不明白，卻也覺得今天表情豐富的紫藤很有趣，就沒有多問、聽話地打直了雙腳。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBEwOS3Uyu
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl53DcWdXqG
杜若的膝蓋上仍沾著一些汙血，那道傷口印在上頭就好像是件純白禮服上的爛泥一樣顯眼——但就算沾上了爛泥，氣質本身也不會輕易改變。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB6EFAES8Z
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UKUFdOqAh
雖然怎樣也稱不上是修長，但杜若的腿卻讓紫藤不禁想到了幼貓那短巧可愛的前腳，讓人忍不住想要伸手捏個一把。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9l85Yekvs
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpr2fycuTI
不對不對、現在可不是做那種事的時候。不要再想些不正經的事了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBhep6XxbF
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR63mGz3to
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVonhODKloj
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KsHTxBfDD
「這樣？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmZjG2iups
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgJHwXGjS4
為了不讓自己再胡思亂想，紫藤支吾地說。一會才終於定下心來把貼布貼上了膝蓋的傷口。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JCH7erqHq
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIyUeRGIXa
「……嗯！這樣就可以了吧！」杜若點點頭，滿意地打量著自己手上腳上的貼布。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuyWE6JgM9
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNbzfSssbZ
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz529YQHI4
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t5Slfu867
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k1gwh4Kx6
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhYnyth1HQ
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZPf8k2cXE
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKurrfoR5ml
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WVYesf0c5
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDC8FEZBv5
「唔、嗯……」杜若好像沒聽清楚似地，只把頭點到了一半，便默默地垂下眼簾。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYACbojxZx
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbwO9Vpv7O
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfIpKWwLr3
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjGww3pLp3
但杜若沒有做出回應，只是像在思考般地沉默了一會後，才撓撓頭髮抬起了頭來。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93uXz9mSYw
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxbXgvRy8j
「沒有……沒事的喔！」杜若再次露出一如往常的笑容：「再不睡覺的話明天又要遲到了！還是趕快把東西放回去，然後好好洗澡睡覺吧！」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl76nxs68h
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMmTdaqiuc
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ6kvbEZZN
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiHa1PJOlk
回來後、在淋浴間前，兩人看著彼此身上的一塊塊包紮，忽然察覺到了什麼而尷尬地笑了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9Z4o5UUwG
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcdt8EZXJE
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsFC6VFw9V
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XslGZa87c
「……只能用擦的了吧。」紫藤望向手上一大片的暗紅紗布，洩出了一聲嘆息。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeByuzsnKed
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK8A70sDv2
雖然天氣還很炎熱，用擦澡倒也不會著涼，但紫藤現在只有一隻手，想要擦去全身的溼黏感實在是難如登天。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriEOv9RYpF
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVCZadNajW
杜若也察覺到紫藤有苦難言的模樣，於是悄悄地湊到了紫藤的一旁。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I5y4SKBcL
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkuOAvq7FR
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenZeMdCY9l
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2f71Lw4Ht
起先紫藤還沒聽懂杜若的意思，但看著杜若站到了自己和淋浴間之間，紫藤才瞬間紅了臉頰。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOh2C2z2Ce
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvpzwIuRvm
「我、我自己來就可以了……」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkk2V70Wnw
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtlJoL2fkN
在外頭、紫藤光是露出手臂以外的皮膚都會感到有些憋扭了，更何況是和人坦誠相待，即使是杜若——不、正因為是杜若，紫藤才更在意這點。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZNDqNoKhu
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Led8LQVvV
終於，在簡單擦去一身的灰塵與汗濕後，兩人才可以好好地關上燈休息。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEDgmmtYiH
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJybPCRpaW
房間沉入一片黑暗。而在這片熟悉的黑暗當中，卻多了道不同的吐息。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7m4hfaPI0
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlVv4aVcb0
明明昨天還沒有這麼明顯地感覺到杜若的存在，現在紫藤卻能夠清楚地感覺到對方的呼吸拂過臉頰。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyJOe5dvBB
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe96tXGDUm
因為說好了，所以剛才也讓杜若用了跟自己一樣的沐浴乳。和草草擦乾污痕的紫藤不同，剛沖過澡的杜若身上香得不可思議。那宛如水果混合了奶油的甜香挾帶著專屬於杜若的微暖體溫，光聞著就令紫藤的胸口發癢。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo3U7qfs7G

明明是一樣的東西，為什麼用在杜若的身上味道就是完全不同呢？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrvgGDwGWj
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGEsyq6yEp
「……紫藤。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuRsTOXptK
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdPAWbZPm7
「怎麼了？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cfySncTrp
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHIq8GM9Bg
就在紫藤兀自思考時，杜若用著像是隨時會消失在黑暗中的細小聲音、輕聲地喚了紫藤。而在紫藤回問後，杜若沒有馬上回答，只是輕揪住紫藤的衣領，向前挪動身子。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAd185WXd8
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq0oZWUerF
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2UruxFmMD
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGnskge2Fv
那是躲在櫃子裡頭時紫藤為了安撫恐慌的杜若，而下意識脫口而出的承諾。也許是四周的黑暗、讓杜若又想起了那時的感覺吧。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2XJ6kfj73
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAtiCWP3GF
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2S6CkFstQ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4hQ7fgjsN
就連明天，紫藤都不知道自己是不是還能夠像現在躺在這張床上了。那又何況是更遙遠的以後呢？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7cMagHH1t
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag1gcd8B53
這世上難以實現的事情多如繁星，即使是伸手能夠觸及的光芒，也不乏混濁的惡火，而自己選擇的前路更是如此。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczQEBu66dD
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1at7KkBjT9
既然難以實現，那就不該給予承諾。面對再也單純不過的杜若，這樣的輕浮是種殘酷。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7fUS3aLzV
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwr2RURyRA
可是要是因此就什麼也不能夠承諾、什麼也不能夠相信，不也是另一種殘酷嗎？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wjq4Avz99
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMPXePltXv
確實，紫藤不能夠保證前路的光明不是槍口的閃焰，也不能夠成為驅趕黑暗的陽光。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7qzkGVZpu
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyHiiUKSzg
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA90gQoeTI3
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGgz4l1HxV
無論腳下的是光明還是黑暗，只要紫藤還能夠伸出手，就不會讓杜若握起的手中僅有一撮虛幻。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJZpDyQILK
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xrh6wahvI
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6bnQMIpM0
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SJDQTyPJY
「……我會試著做到的。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlYY9s7XBx
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB61vo6DXAO
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJng1PECqu
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN43HBRr0y
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXERJe9AxFY
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOf4OLXCOr
不給紫藤辯解的餘地。說完，杜若就這麼微笑著闔上眼，沉沉地往夢鄉走去。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C06e3TVCU
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdJ66m1hgv
窗外打進的微光逐漸照亮紫藤的視野，杜若雪白的髮絲在輪廓的邊緣透著薄光，就宛如隨風飄逸的紗絹一樣。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2vSQVS4T5
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkBiWcJXbK
從呼吸聲聽來，杜若大概是在睡著時就會蜷起身子的類型——就連這點也跟貓很像啊，紫藤不禁調侃地想。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9oHr8rx3r
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTETFWsFHL
疼痛令紫藤沒辦法把杜若給攬進懷中，但紫藤卻仍湊近了身子，把那道溫熱的呼吸給小心地挨近胸口。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfXx6gq4q2
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WxdiwcBHB
而杜若只是既像在回應、又像在撒嬌般地發出一聲夢囈，把身子更加地縮了進去。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOjiHzmk3K
