他在梳化上猛然醒來。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6sv16NYlZ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRq8XCmyPM
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh8RUoFw6R
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZiKwLgUTd
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rew4NTbjo
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkPnuA5K7o
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaLWTehUid

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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EHIOBArGg

莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uHiJSunSf
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvUstxlQmy
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDny9h5RLu
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHSI8hQ0zd
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvr41EZRw2
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm9ZXyfF0J
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiQ28DQqS6
抵不住。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6b8SCKeoL
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwtijDmiBQ
他決定到公園散步。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDde97LeYD
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjEFYPjwl4
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePjY6WT9wG
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSES83o6Jbc
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkgKFkak9O
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0f0F0PRvB
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zLTzgPxm4
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtdBH6n5mp
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3xGYMnBcl
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vqReslP8X
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2hBExv35m
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5bUQ2pRu1
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvEIrfnEUj
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQh0fSo2RL
他不自已憶起亡妻……200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVAIYzkBWg
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicBQhFiHE0
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36smcaoGxI
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8RACzavbJ
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IeMCeYpm7
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn6Uqf0Zup
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTL96TDKmJ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm3N4lVeAq
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpqT5WXzIN
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6W7SnJEYx
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OsSzjQa4t
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJAiGbDm3v
「快了、快了。不用著急！」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnMprb2MRN
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FVk22qrjw
「即是何時？」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV6j06ZJ5b
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4ayINUf7Q
「下一個夏天。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzMptKQWZx
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h8YJUJCPt
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9XHQUyj9X
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIcfqkSbwK
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfVsy7pU3N
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJnnn2vKlA
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWAjUK6JPG
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrumjr0tdh
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y7Xo9lw8M
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrODKi15DjU
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTf7XWalqC
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zLCLpvthf
內心終於安定下來。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ORUrhYN2X
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAwKtw4sZe
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』！」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8klCngDyxH
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11IcjEp0Fs
「但你的血糖……」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BfGo5wpOL
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhitTAK0ti
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTETW4k6C0
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DccfiH1RR
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwoKJ94SGQ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqIGY1tART
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KBWdhBsPN
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SmtkmYnU2
兒子送她一根拐杖。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhpdiDjaYI
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6Rdcj39qo
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlABg9Q9dO4
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyfIFoBkI8
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSIA0aWJKX
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7XnaCDY5P
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』！」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0ja7MJDPE
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA0DeeXQPe
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSH1vHYnIW
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOx7elokGi
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVnLxe9FT9
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD1bUO1Ppl
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH0LqlaKQ6
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE53SVW4sQ
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5XUCwyXz3
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIVL5CLpsF
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyCARl81jc
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqoG6O5cqX
於願足矣。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeSk9CJTtS
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfewi7ZwR68
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAwcOmDYsE
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuFHioEnIx
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2Fz7yX5iq
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnmARRv4E0
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa1zwDYDkL
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa1DK6wT1v
總得走下去，不是嗎？200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcKwDLuJq1
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2xjt7Vd55
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wsAXv59OE
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWecSzwUDWi
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdVA4MIb7V
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrAYqEZxX2
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oykG8Xgl2
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoBuXWDC2U
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4JlPIx0xx
