迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDfqSgE959
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiRTtFa5bZ
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfR1b71BEj
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bGTXwDWas
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPPuwt8VGE
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6k7MitiaX
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I8kUQPDTr
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLQFlY5Kq5
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7phmbQdMv
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4RXZ21PHF
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcFvHvYbDm
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6tIcjaTy4
「走吧。我們一起回去。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7z6vsdMKO
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRCUcU1JcQ
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcaRNxXJHp
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJBGi2X4Y3
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma1Vze7nkd
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcDIy8Eenq
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW4V8EsOXy
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1CfR9RCDC
「嗚……！」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAb4K6FnPM
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9XhnlZclr
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KpzGNCAFS
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JRLqMo5mL
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBbAjqIyJF
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseF7QVIAXK
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63T37zG3U2
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbagoHYOKBE
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VnVPf487N
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDuZrCTQkL
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc5EopyT1Z
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UdeAKHX6w
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8avhZsh1R7
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoPJK2470F
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSCGsA8tz4
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3SP4GSBjj
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZuARXBLSI
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uQblybUdZ
「呼、呼……嗚——！」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdCRq7lVVh
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKrxhwP4Qv
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpbrQtxmYM
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kJ6NOfaG9
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAxXPyhEuS
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56Wh4Ts0lo
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKeoIjmKA9
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhbnY1Jmwq
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU0ffqMvuu
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOENvH6mE4u
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoOppHFUoA
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1wpgjJe87
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjTKlqlRSt
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWg5F40VRw
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCltiPu0Aj5
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtyhWI55lI
「……謝謝。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIQVRGcIV8
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc1IJR7xZy
「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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8ZXDI5gXu
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK4kJCgvDM
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kN867GpTA
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1BTtZ1wxh
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J2Zb4dgDT
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQaITW3Ixm
不過，這無疑都是事實。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPArU7YeXgK
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqpFr7efcd
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy253uFqytj
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOXBDepTtw
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjovWWJWKYV
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF2hrpX86O
「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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSnvYea80X
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvJ3fBpZoE
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkREjWDX5f
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWvbTikT9u
「是我媽媽的遺物。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouHQnk4kWU
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwlenOTkoD
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ntwtYqVwD
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PaG0CrNtI
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAswRTkXblB
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlnrhSTTvg
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVKQuzKnos
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoIxYtwpmZ
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NeNWmEHOb
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKAmAZW2bE
「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：291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbXKCER9QY
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OSJXRG6NW
「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。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI2MYK4q3j
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqcWFkXF4I
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPH4M8toBa
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf3Rvbpm5y
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay6pbydvKo
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCJI7h5Whm
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwkTyhqAgR
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpYZueKry2
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7jET5zx1T
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFVRalzvjP
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZsYfgz5FN
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppjOTucSMy
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBrTDBTZ1G
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl3fxbEKgR
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLihGGPIgD
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWdcMoWMKO
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTFV9dgb8V
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB95PBzhULc
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoY0y3G2Il
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtrgnnAWB3
「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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit20LRoTwE
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7VAZJRC6m
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMrTW5EORd
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJBgnI8JnH
「媽媽他——」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdrb2cl5W5
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg56hbBpgL
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZWpNshOdZ
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyzVmOFOz2
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」。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBCqnL9FnK
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAjXQSl4u8
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogCIkAw9jm
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYZg6LM4gf
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe2ZhEsUKj
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wg4W4YZL4
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjie5SKENb
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeQM15ny5N
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbj9EDksS1
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiIu8PxXBq
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopTWF0hVRr
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLdL0cbeZg
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPl53RK5s8
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PQGPiuadq
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz2tYwu4Je
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFLHicRAKd
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGeZlePKBc
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ3CL4nyb5
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYdvFuzUtO
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMeteVav0Q
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14Fv3OFIXc
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OUH0rmw92
那是一起倒塌事件。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjtF5t1KAm
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHhelpUSVX
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABvlSLd6ki
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeGLqNhuKx
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUpJjzmYEX
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR1ZvU97MJ
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCtMG6LBgs
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfRTevSIej
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQXoVbdUxL
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLttoUFkjtO
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilCtdjJAal
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviZFPSvTjh
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADbQ6fWmNi
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhACnqSEyRB
「然後，殺了他。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2kvOQD03O
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8BF7IyVwR
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NWZ4lYVFh
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z5RIe6gTG
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHprRZ7oWo
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr5NTWh25W
「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。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfd9ttrBhN
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj1TEQ2lKR
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQQ22TiB02
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpF2V81xUr
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYA2jYrw4d
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fwPQDdP2C
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpReeSsYi2
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID2b7GoSUH
「……嗯。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5xhd1Hrke
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj43RMVsoz
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSlNRWMGKT
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZJ8KJ51Jr
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFat7SUDYL
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByHGxnBtqr
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiy7B0cfHr
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMCmgZg8dK
「……杜若妳呢？」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWBKpxvdTq
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBwYDXyvaK
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcz2jf9oPC
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUYMrFyIEB
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2OS1YgJaA
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp47IjjThb
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0utUCVyj4
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP9KF6tODV
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJrW95Rw51
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM26N0PC3Jy
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC7CsUSc18
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5dZKpOjuG
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54LX4PxZJT
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKz2LwJGKA
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgwzFilqk9
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3796OHyqW
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs89mzDuEr5
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCsvnuysU5
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1pHIox20Z
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfV6QWxhtF
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpNtFAKO7w
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTL7nbjYb8
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGErT1z05LX
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn20mS2C2yj
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？291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezKZbKFf85
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxXFZlg7TR
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh0mo1FkJM
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFY5c4AN4M
「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。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVK5L3OPgf
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJaXwNn96o
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQLegSS0lJ
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAw1tIlNVB
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF4Mx06Lyi
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQIdA7i8tE
「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。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yirpZIHea
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLUPsWteED
「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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQboOrWPRr
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO8zteqSte
「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。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9yjvVVvrm
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZLsvkZKVh
杜若的笑只看得見無力。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGY8wTR6Kg
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhWKnQ0sxE
「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。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIZ9tBC7aF
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDZyF47MpB
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4wEDPtQaB
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTicsTNTwN
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFpdx4Vbmb
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPQCwBLweZ
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OVk5QyxOz
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriN3Nx2Nrz
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NXkGRRiT2
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSwiEzpslU
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH7faUqxyM
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIYWS9sNOt
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXvN0dx8GU
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf6kP0HwoQ
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFu8qQksaK
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17Ymh1wVDr
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoKvsBY8B0
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERXrq8Ugoh
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhd8PQrryx
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j7kOjHsaC
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmq8KfvQnm
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pDkn5b8yy
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkGiP7HB3D
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh14NmTfq7u
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysdp5nywS1
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM17YQhhgqn
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？291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuewYeL5UIs

這怎麼可能。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM89RIG4Sre
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN3G9Z2Ab5
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJIC1j2zXF
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuQhicCVop
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMe9zEKW3f
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vLIqiruq3
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrVWV90HK6
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmxmEwFQTt
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPn29jxcXy
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYYphfhNFX
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoZygL3rMW
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb1OfoAdFY
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291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oBW1ozzjx
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSgFeHVgMW
「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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqWHcs7aza
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6R22EoNKx
「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！」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC6l0UmfUO
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2mL4w7Jel
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd96tD0YbL
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPpWURyhXb
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0pXUy69Py
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yneBu4wF2
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrzaj8dvZh
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K5W5TJlVk
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdsHpPVotM
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65NzOWP0Td
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwrJoHEQCD
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUEJCmz2XQ
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ172zwBfNDj
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBMapKDbgG
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q2tuegRvh
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6zQiyCEve
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJuwTihEGT
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2I4DMy1gF
「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。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwrPcw5dYF
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQPPzK8APL
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAAiwZFPSK
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxOO1NLiqi
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnB2vSjxJf
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffxlTkTriC
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9m94b0SbN
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIldoeHWlFx
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLJRJqofwY
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4ZdFSs45e
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6896ld6Flb
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y16oR1YFo
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaagy0mPIE
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00wqFi41Ei
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nncmibtHZ
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHvvXOIa29
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlHYSfQAy5
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRBZ4oNRW5
「這本來就是我自己的事。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwDZyWGjBM
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAziADFGP79
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLimIONbBk
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1PBerWO7H
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcn5eqRogW
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQLHAjlduC
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLTCLcflDZ
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbERLPWqOAz
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSjd1zT1ZW
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPvfV6Wwgl
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnW8nLndJ8
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIElqKxD8hG
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvKHIKB3Ss
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVEIQ3gqsT
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS6UN6Az0o
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xtWQPLm5Z
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHacP0QnO3k
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4kuDImfLX
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfBb7erau2
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8nKNRLfyU
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04ZbnHG4Mx
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGNHnijAOY
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1nkT2YU8E
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE5OALJVeV
「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……」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFqPYEWJqN
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lW03iZ3mU
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIvRP8GxCz
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODpi8VsQqi
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？291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6iMGun9QA
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyPNcgUZDi
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmCmyv0uaA
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrYqRI9XzA
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEfDZ5Ul7b
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLydv277AZ
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DOTa8j9xB
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOfguP3tN3
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeFGsFBkVI
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1xJUyLBNs
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTgJPFsmz8
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6BtbxJ376
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7E7VeB7xN
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8EiTXztSD
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ErRkOSJQc
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj5UXquJOw
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YdUyDMrPC
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D0ivxObUf
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDGRbkcQCl
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRpcB4adN5
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？291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDewDWsKev
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4B8dKknGN
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe81L1sp4D
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG4vwmYCI6
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？291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D0WnXjTXB
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCqp1CBL57
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspr9tdBUvE
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0GOPuED2t
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？291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIUuzKXg8s
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId1ILsifov
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0btCtYM6Vn
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkuMOhoAlR
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11oXBXwq0Q
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8uWoIUwtL
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXda0193yjc
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxJplTpX3X
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe1f17SY8a
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYLr95a8DC
「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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeGRN7ZMbp
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaBDSQlnzg
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa3kE0OV3r
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmSdLPYpeX
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j87UAQ55Y
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZBwR6CAXZ
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBEDjz6ESA
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHONa23AJ4G
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQnk5M5iA7
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3fkw6PXxj
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0hZeo4o2Z
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj52L43Pesu
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoA0STP4tE
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0791v6B0eN
「……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？」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0WBhPnv5Y
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EKy7VD1rZ
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcNiw2lkQQ
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtIuhQAgLp
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEog1Y6Vj2u
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g29I1diIG
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrN0fRifpq
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX0PSm6rbK
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZAQX6H0Y6
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3PlXOSDeB
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbU72aovoT
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVFKe8I8EX
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？291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4KjGIlIPj
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2wZYxzwA2
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？291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVWCAyMdX7
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfQHPikauQ
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob3o3NENUV
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2jrV1gzo1
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTnBeTmrEA
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsRKppWFd1
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldOIjIVMO9
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkWCAwi9n3
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76F81gBOQG
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhUFyKvKO9
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXlaHfBegA
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexuV992nI3
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BED4XG671
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDFDJKGyxP
「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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVc7agwy9T
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKsfwkVIL0
「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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCafcheUS4
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HicwLueGd
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVI7mUt2AE
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESxLxOhqp6
「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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRVcNAexK8
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrSErrgFr9
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLkTwPQALh
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoVokbzFHK
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbR85Zdyay
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSVBm4OCDo
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDV7fWWzCY
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNtXE8T4ZH
「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：291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFXrGVgL8y
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IfRIOXhhv
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5rnWz4R8N
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLo5tqSZl7
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOBTPF5OsD
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpMagCg6yu
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？291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuEPhZz2Xu
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMgY2QFbMV
「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：291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTMznpqrSQ
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauRH1vVyOY
「謝謝……」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVfzD9rT9a
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4Zld9uEtf
「嗯？」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe63gTGkqpx
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI03wvlXIwc
「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……！」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2x6Yt5lsl
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYP7rc4dOH
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk1c9fgUuz
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUwh4nuLLN
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXG6VhkQgR
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAayThOVEm
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsko2GSoDlA
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj893nLbZ8C
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeewrUZoigY
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L02htXh04
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KloBC7Iww
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ85DV8lKl
「這樣？」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUksrybCXNX
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyoDWNB3Gm
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvKAfnjV4w
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoFoSgyfeb
「……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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRBmBo93xH
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHJVH6uC9s
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosOrLKmDoh
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHbD8BkxSx
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsTKiV57Ra
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMjIHxRDPw
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGTjixxwXF
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEY6Wma8xO
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2STWQ7Gnf
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5TFpK4yaI
「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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprAEDloArx
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoxGEhYyhx
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYbMQ7vHuG
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl7WikfZTC
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPmbpwQWEk
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmM2WsHj2q
「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！」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOsolbV7aH
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKmt4NZCPw
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZA3ELS5gH
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6brXxouOO
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjVC3bSvx9
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTJoln74aO
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwmEl8h9S5
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcvzFHaxe5
「……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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBVd7DRXbz
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5P5YzkW8P
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgMQRB4RN2
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlYkKxGVjv
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsb0Kj2fva
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOCJ1MMEq7
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0IIN42KHl
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGii85TAqdT
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQicscR77sJ
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zl8V0J9gr
「我、我自己來就可以了……」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PIMXMCNtq
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchBHZKEMtG
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4bdSzokQW
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyxCrQCIa9
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfTV1Tt4Bd
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWir0ApgnW
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbeedMyicc
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEsI3gatQU
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ500F7fJhG3
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5sB0ZY01G
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r4E7a0z3x

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？291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvO2h0KLKt
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRJwhThgYi
「……紫藤。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKKjjLGuZI
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhmXrgxLul
「怎麼了？」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncZPuz9Xhy
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11PqWAKNJm
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy1en0iX3K
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJVZpktpHu
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87srFeMItD
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9kODwu1Yw
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWzRjJKmWH
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKtp7ih1WF
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvAQCmMBDT
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOQtLVrhdM
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？291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNltjigG8hv
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPRkbWfM7T
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWthisOti6d
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0sv5vtMbf
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5vps4KWD7
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64gHCkgfqn
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？291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP07wKPgWDs
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblnsgnBow9
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTzcY4goNE
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaINjKTTvUY
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDYnqLHTiA
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufnHaLQiFj
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6frNTpuxEg
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmeW2fYDfb
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8akHRKkvP
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO2obvwXWW
「……我會試著做到的。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2dkioR4Al
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uIXxLGIVS
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDPdkzqGLL
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu8awLnJ55
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9LULjsW9F
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWEdfP5QNQ
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeH2OazViH
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihoxE2DHJ1
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6Z28RVuZv
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzW1o0oSXU
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MwoUvu7Tm
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWVFje1I1Z
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeeacGaan6
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xz99cLfll
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。291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpRPZ77asM
