他在梳化上猛然醒來。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszarHjcqj7
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKzuGIMFox
電視仍然亮著，新聞報導員正在講述關於疫情的新聞和消息。內容千篇一律，悶人又煩人。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjM2JkzXO3
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanEUhfEboE
他打個呵欠，伸個懶腰。雙掌使勁按壓梳化，借力撐起整個人，避免膝頭過份受力。許是在凹陷的梳化坐得太長時間，大腿和臀部均感到少許麻痺。不至於會跌倒的程度，但他下意識地一邊倚扶著傢具，一邊拖著腳步走向浴室。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoahKPiWLpW
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn1MtX7UDW
人老了，身體差了，動作遲緩了，連小便如此簡單和基本的本能也變得困難。甭提總是瞄不準便器，尿液還要是逐滴逐滴慢慢滴出來，彷彿要滴乾他的尊嚴。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaNa8tQfZR
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mNP7jvxZ2
怎麼辦？可以怎麼辦？吹口哨吧。口吹曲子，耳邊響起熟悉的歌聲，心裡默唸自勵自欺的歌詞。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd92lQK9YNx

莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBEXGVBNBj
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNDYUV7nti
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR0zBo5UYg
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ckKQZ6FOT
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW8dbTf9o0
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYNRkDFsG8
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnZQ40nmOQ
抵不住。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB2bc6SMUY
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkV3FvMpQt
他決定到公園散步。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPzaLWbjVa
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndRVtvBuKh
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbHSFNf90h
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ087ARQEGJx
好福氣的，或是三五成群談天說地，或是在家傭的攙扶下散步。福薄的，或是推著購物車奔波買餸，或是顫巍巍地被送上療養院的巴士。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1sMEhuuaA
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dh8QybG8u
自己有福氣嗎？托賴。能走能動能講能吃，與兒孫同住。雖偶有口角，卻也沒有特別煩心事。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjSZaxul2E
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ48P6ef9qX
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvGHkLP9kq
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKZ0ksCUmc
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLkijNrjVT
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiq70rcbzu
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym3aCLQAZv
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrcZDYQkWT
他不自已憶起亡妻……269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAPgOPixzl
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEIKYyES4u
三年前的夏天，她在家跌倒，傷及腿部筋骨，自此總是步履不穩，走路時偶爾會突然腳軟跌倒。兒子勸她多休息，不要外出。她明白兒子苦心，奈何整天悶在家中令她心情抑鬱，精神越益差勁。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9Hr5GrdRd
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox8ixUndeo
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRTBfxy3m7
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztd9zAbYWo
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj1syrsSG4
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIhRJbgc8U
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwfladNttT
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveg9zF9r1w
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmbtSEx1go
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4edsJmhbfM
「快了、快了。不用著急！」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzw3jlzlAW
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG58n8dZUxW
「即是何時？」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsba14UECpH
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuJFU5mkOt
「下一個夏天。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5zf9eBaAi
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObXD4h3Qv7
她幽幽回望，驚訝丈夫斬釘截鐵交出一個確實答案——醫生也不敢斷言她會否康復。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLiT36ndUl
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSHZscxrLJ
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbYCYGrHNm
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRxhMTlf7o
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuonrADEtj
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsUJetUQ58
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCrIryyCd0
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmhMcvIntR
奇蹟？希望？不。僅是信念，難以言喻的，難以理解的。他不是神、不是醫生、不是專業人士。他僅是一個脾氣古怪的躁狂糟老頭。但她就是相信他。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7teI9AAtt
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPOq9UdkUj
內心終於安定下來。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoWXYM06Bz
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGuEBcPjSH
她沒再糾結於健康問題，開始向丈夫講述她的未來夏日大計：「探望朋友前，我要先辦一件十分要緊的事——吃『菠蘿油』！」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEzJRuyvfE
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdJpNiJEXu
「但你的血糖……」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgkNNx89b6
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVn4zzugJC
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJr6iLBQtk
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU8eHABJzZ
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMu8NRKsQ5
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Djf6McIon
下一個夏天到來。她的腿傷還是沒能康復，走路時拐得更嚴重。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARaa6g5IDv
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnQWflonbk
兒子送她一根拐杖。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FpkI9K23H
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZQjTc66q3
當晚，她躲在浴室裡啜泣。他沒有上前安慰，因為所有安慰說話都沒能扭轉衰老之勢，倒不如讓她盡情宣洩情緒。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPITXkN47kr
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEOkkFDQGT
她不知道，整個晚上，丈夫徹夜無眠，眼睜睜望著天花，細聽她的哭聲，細想她的未來。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wi1FFreSS
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG4lPeBvkm
天亮，兒子和媳婦準時離家上班去。他送孫兒到學校後，馬上回家慫恿妻子一起外出逛街。「夏天嘛！當然要吃『菠蘿油』！」269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4I4NMqfih
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p01yQJlBT
妻子笑了，連忙穿上最漂亮的衣褲鞋襪，戴上最喜歡的髮夾，塗上最鮮色的紅唇膏。她沒有使用兒子送她的拐杖，因為丈夫就是世上最好的拐杖——依著他、靠著他，她安然走到今時今日的七十高齡。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBHQ8I98TB
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnK9rTL7Tk
鐵路車站裡，人流如鯽，彷彿有股無形的強力水流在背後催促著。他懶理，繼續保持慢調，只知自己不僅是自己。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO8mpEe1Ws
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJl3YY4vlV
終於來到馳名的冰廳，二人各點一客「菠蘿油」。不好吃，亦不是回憶中的味道。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRpncHCnqi
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMp86YahZP
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCcCVa9PyS
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcTORNdeag
夫婦相視而笑。笑甚麼，不知道，大概是完成了十分重要的事情吧。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZYs5tXvE7
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i785YZqDL
於願足矣。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvoUUaQkWc
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXlEXSS5Sn
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZDv7tunj4
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YvmakAUlV
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrSjqjiYUL
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmImHctSR5X
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY9fL1Jdue
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLv6Bqru3t
總得走下去，不是嗎？269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YvAOas5Qk
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fSDaagjVH
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbeQq5Vclk
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRPBvwttF0
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedhwYni26U
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp2p3yFk6N
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFePnXssYoM
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bwls4VLFn
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HMlMOdShJ
