或許是忘記他，或者是不需要他了。惠施這一去，已好久好久，都未曾有過音信。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxXGdXf9FH

第二年的冬天，起初只是鵝毛般的細雪，到後來，雪卻愈下愈大，宋國遍地飢寒交加，莊周也不例外。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFTe9uhLpU

其實莊周沒有甚麼不開心，只是在把那艘扁舟賣掉時，他竟格外想念起惠施來。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgpd9IkwWo

躺在榻上的莊周，迷茫間睜開了雙眼，抓著惠施的手，緊緊地摁在自己的心口。左右都是僕從，這樣的動作，讓惠施顯得有些為難。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5iXhyyBtk
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gJrEvmhBB
惠施抽開了手，替莊周把被子闔上，「你又不是大王，我不是你的相國。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡierLo78IFF
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XVfqCMFQc
「我怎麼了……？」莊周躺在榻子上，看著跪在身旁的惠施。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC00HJM4XC
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aP5UULQL8
「你還沒進城就餓昏了，但是你很有名氣，大家都喜歡你寫的書，也知道你是我的故人，我得了信，就把你接回來。」惠施道。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqneOdBJbO
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp7YoY8y0i
「嗯。」莊周伸出手來，摸了摸惠施的臉，「我的公子，你的表情好像有些奇怪，怎麼了嗎？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTh09jifO7
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuDO3IeazU
惠施猶豫了一會兒，纔說道：「我得回宮一趟，不能一直獃在這兒。你有些風寒，我已吩咐府裏的人調些肉羹給你喫了，你多喫點，病纔能養好，知道不？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW65YREtWpK
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uXpDI7woZ
惠施的神色終究是有些複雜，然而他按著自己的手，以及他的神色又是如此溫柔。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrySjdTkCmO
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nPVQXK7Db
莊周在惠施府上調養身體的期間，不時聽到下人們偷偷地在他背後議論道：「這位就是來搶老爺相位的人嗎」、「瞧他衣衫襤褸，大王不會採用他吧」、「老爺不是要把他殺掉嗎？為什麼還接待他？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKpdq2ZKJb
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUp4guivr8

下朝後，惠施擔任大王的顧問，接待六國使者，與他們商量對策，一直忙碌到很晚纔回了家。纔到家，見到莊周昏睡在外堂，他被諕了一下，向家奴問道：「你們是不是虧待了莊先生？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j6XcPJtMB
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUKu379xjI
「奴才不敢，是莊先生非要在此等候老爺，老爺太晚沒回來，莊先生累倒了。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoUZgnNG8t
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaraeNikcl
惠施看著莊周的模樣，想：『莊周不知禮節，在外堂昏睡，這樣的人，興許大王是不會採用的；若只是來投靠我的話也無妨。』550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4XOLoBbxn
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZwLSJa1Gp
便吩咐道：「往我房裏加一套被子。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfmlaLAoWz
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyN9yNlvQN
家奴不解。惠施道：「莊先生與我同房。」得令，這才退下。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUphRtW2AH

550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzlIGDboHo
這回，他飛過濠梁，鑽過濠梁下的湖心，遠遠飛過魏國的都城，翩飄進相國府的窗櫺裏，裏頭香霧瀰漫，溫暖無比，與外頭的飢寒大相逕庭。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8QHYGqTZ4

他本想回頭，惠施卻說道：「別回頭，我幫你擦背。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosYszsyPx3

洗浴間，莊周昏昏沉沉的，連一頭長髮，都是惠施幫他梳洗。只記得惠施撫觸他的感覺極細，他的手觸碰過自己的後頸，背胛，其餘的，病中便再難記。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFMMBvzjve
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhlWiyKwWD
一整晚都沒有下人來打擾。就寢時分，惠施幫莊周穿好睡衣後，兩人同榻，相對而寢。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYp5l9lXIf

夜半時分，莊周竟感覺惠施的身子貼服在他的背後，雙手摟著他的腰。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xhfXnh5AT

莊周說道：「惠子，等病養好，我就離開大梁。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hG7pf1HpU

惠施沒答話，只無聲地淌淚，有幾滴淚直接淌在莊周的身上，莊周伸手替他揩面。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGgotGL6Ex
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjkzUM13j7
只聞幽幽地一句「對不住」。莊周說道：「對不住的人是我，人各有志，我又何必強求呢？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJrls8kXda
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl0OmKaHwU
「你以前曾問過我，你若離開，會不會想你，會不會留戀？其實我想得很……我來大梁，只是想給你這個答案。魏王的相國，你一人就足夠了，我若繼續留在這兒，你大概也過得不安穩。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5K7XIqBlX
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63XmkU6FFA
「若我不在乎呢？」惠施看著莊周的臉，「你千里迢迢來看我，還猜忌你是我的錯……可如果我說，就算大王真的叫你去作他的相國，我也不在乎呢？」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE7fqkH7ey
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GiPJs1Jo2
「我在乎啊，我又不想和別人作禮行揖，可你還對這地方有所依戀，不是嗎？你想當官，我不想當官，我留在大梁，對我們倆人都很麻煩。」莊周道：「這一回，你若想我的話，就回宋國好嗎？……等你不想做官了再回來，我等你。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvxfks1iSW

莊周的幾個門徒準備了祭品，偕他一塊兒上墳。550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2oIQcnt97

門人見到夫子的神情十分黯淡，本想開解他，莊周告訴他們：「我同你們說個故事。」門人們便朝他一拜：「夫子請講。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRSfwsjDkV

莊周淡淡地說道：「在楚國有位郢人，他有很會使大斧頭的匠人朋友，他們兩個會一種表演，郢人先在鼻頭上，抹上一層薄如蠅翼的石灰，再讓他的朋友削去。」550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4oO7ZI4hu
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1W9ebhyDR
「旁人雖看得心驚膽跳，郢人卻面不改色，對匠人十分放心。匠人使斧頭時，不但沒削掉郢人的鼻子，還把石灰完全砍去。宋元君聽說這椿奇事，想請郢人再表演一次，郢人卻回答：『我的匠人朋友已經仙逝，只留下我一人獨活，所以我無法再表演了。』」

郢人斫堊，該典故最早出自莊子《郢人》。
