他在梳化上猛然醒來。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ9SPLsGEE
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxaIIaYYpy
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAcgaPXuab
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1czYKrbd4
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnJMjJTpTO
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw4eBoOF0I
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWtCxkW0wo
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3Ffxu0rCR
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsZshVvnZX
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcZbGJdzca
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaPrKm4L8g
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISTxmRghyQ
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt9Mad4RFB
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOQdWs5ftR
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkbTmg1uF8
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv5GOE7oIa
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmcsXmeYeL
抵不住。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3rx4PMucC
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMP5tEcfZl
他決定到公園散步。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kmIj2HG0J
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz60FanJP2a
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPWxhCwMgz
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqphGTrTPLI
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDq59dBfzt
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTpHuZSdlb
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8s3V3IIG2
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjLXx56eZF
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFRPMytgSK
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwobWDvACDw
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsP4WCkVNo
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWWjHFMIp8
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXqyMEbV4p
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnNbbdidg8
他不自已憶起亡妻……266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjxKUwZKuP
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y98cQFeKe
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIviSDJdiSB
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiyI6Bypcv
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgcCkpvStE
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXVE7D8RIN
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyueRqQLH5F
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhRTThaoKt
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHXtwTefIP
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhHxwLvnGt
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcCUhy5KCk
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA88WKk0mw
「快了、快了。不用著急！」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2lpuJsxc6
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Dzc0LyfQg
「即是何時？」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGYBINoQw4
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLndCWbLpGX
「下一個夏天。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHvEwIbD6k
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48g64Wy0cL
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHPHJrpGIP
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X7gpH545o
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vFtRBg0QH
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIjJHkkyNi
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaYUQ7DaeG
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTvLHpGgny
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCOQmrnEQm
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDUsfg1Xlc
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7y7KjZsJu
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquqNfIskdy
內心終於安定下來。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfd4lY2Bcr
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdRhp87eCu
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』！」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrIbVCY1AT
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQEUzVnF4G
「但你的血糖……」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl99tnEiCm
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YrK07Avva
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2so7xoeQa
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ssO29fgWr
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmmJQolKzo
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jlU9RnZHS
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYTKqXHKve
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwIoTvWx24
兒子送她一根拐杖。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7QTDY6R7Z
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQtBxVOmVw
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM93xDxqvQc
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcITnDnykc
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVkUfDFRmr
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoVAMHDHa9
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』！」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhfGRULxC4
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV3H9ZTTtp
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLIAExVLZE
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67NIMt27oq
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGFFEeBQYi
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPNWIsbggp
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN034OhM2GD
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmUENzPLAy
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWegkGM8rb
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT71VtH7hA
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C5UuNyvsD
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp4QYsMDL2
於願足矣。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPmSfjOLur
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmdash8itL
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9VBZNZtyP
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKzno1Bddt
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtWcTH5TUd
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZhDEjfpaC
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N41hqCw5i
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy4o5bQGnW
總得走下去，不是嗎？266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNXBWuWSW3
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvYSWEgiOd
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LbW3JgxQH
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRz2Eyz7AW
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD72XHaTm3i
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKXKcNQ1eD
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWoqpJlSKa
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihbO7KxjlQ
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBVvlIPLQO
