體育倉庫位在主校舍後方的操場旁。171Please respect copyright.PENANAmGxyXp3ovF
171Please respect copyright.PENANAjP4RP9VhBl
我們學校本身雖然人數不多,但在佔地方面可是相當可觀的,光是操場就佔了將近一公頃多的面積,我想這是當初考量到要給全村的人共同使用的關係。171Please respect copyright.PENANAFUoMVmgP3T
171Please respect copyright.PENANAAClE9oQpK6
也正因為倉庫是如此地距離遙遠,白天的時候也成了眼前這個不良教師躲藏的最佳去處。171Please respect copyright.PENANAbj7Z1A8tSn

「不然我沒事何苦要開窗呢,上班時還是要小心謹慎呀,要是給校長看到可就死定了啊!哈哈哈哈!」171Please respect copyright.PENANApK1rlzS8CX
171Please respect copyright.PENANAtYpgMdVfzc
「哎──懶得說你了,只要把體育倉庫的氣窗關掉就好吧,我會去幫你關的。」171Please respect copyright.PENANApsXnoF64jy
171Please respect copyright.PENANAUvz1bWDars
「還真是幫了我一個大忙呢,謝謝啦來夏,下次請妳吃我家後院種的玉米怎麼樣。」171Please respect copyright.PENANA8tpPaVbeo3
171Please respect copyright.PENANA2FvtPcGYGI
「那還真是謝謝你啊,只不過你到底是憑哪點覺得會有女孩子因為這種事情高興的。」171Please respect copyright.PENANA3Rx9MSRTjW
171Please respect copyright.PENANAmfJQkHuCer
「這個嘛,會不會是男人野性的直覺呢。」171Please respect copyright.PENANAZMGpxyjYfD
171Please respect copyright.PENANAYs93mUIh2F
很好,這傢伙居然故作帥氣地把手放到下巴去,到底是哪來的自信啊。171Please respect copyright.PENANAReQ7l7tvji
171Please respect copyright.PENANA2ENzjJxpUX
171Please respect copyright.PENANAfxaTimJpsv
「喔,這樣啊,那我先走了,掰。」171Please respect copyright.PENANA8xMMS6MArL

171Please respect copyright.PENANAN8Do457eQ3
「沒時間陪你耍笨了啦!我還有一堆事要趕著回去做!」171Please respect copyright.PENANAo5IdEGr2wU

在跟葛城老師道別後,由於後門已經鎖上的關係,我朝著校舍前方的大門前進。171Please respect copyright.PENANAbFtYrJBA3z
171Please respect copyright.PENANAqmRIIZR23A
171Please respect copyright.PENANAVmnuP9MPua
雖然剛剛嘴巴上那樣講,但我其實並不討厭他這個人。171Please respect copyright.PENANAwdBa8eWQeR
171Please respect copyright.PENANAZC5sIgUwvc
其實並不只是為人容易相處而已,光是像他那樣擁有出色的名校學歷,還願意到這個偏僻的村落任教,我想一般人恐怕很難做到吧,為了這件事情,當初他來到學校的時候還受到校長大肆表揚一番,只差沒有鋪上紅地毯歡迎了。171Please respect copyright.PENANAnqflyPWckz
171Please respect copyright.PENANAJSIkZUTmUC
現在想想,我們讀國中時他當初那生澀的模樣還挺有趣的,而且那時候外表乾淨清爽,戴著銀框眼鏡的他遠比現在還要帥上兩倍……不對不對,至少也有三倍才對!畢竟連我當初都對他有點心動呢,可惜隨著時間經過,葛城老師也以他最適應村子的方式演變成如今的模樣,就跟生物課本上教到用進廢退學說一模一樣。171Please respect copyright.PENANAGymjTBLPaJ
171Please respect copyright.PENANAinvTcrGIIc
就算如此,在我家經歷了那麼多事情以後,其實到了現在我也還是──171Please respect copyright.PENANA0oW6iJ7zvf
171Please respect copyright.PENANAByC7psaRZb
171Please respect copyright.PENANA7whExhEGVv
「……也變得太冷了吧,果然剛剛還是該拒絕那傢伙!」171Please respect copyright.PENANAz6C7MCcQ7l
171Please respect copyright.PENANAJUOMZl9cKl
171Please respect copyright.PENANAccnka1Xvch
推開校舍那桃木製成的大門以後,凜冽的強風吹得我臉頰都不由得刺痛了起來。171Please respect copyright.PENANA7cYqzCxiyx
171Please respect copyright.PENANAkfjO9aXOXg
剛剛在校舍裡面只是覺得窗戶被吹得很吵而已,沒想到居然是如此恐怖的颱風,看樣子大家都說是難得一見的強颱果然所言不假。171Please respect copyright.PENANAKWDryGhKlU
171Please respect copyright.PENANADHHDWboodF
但既然都已經先答應了,就還是趕快把事情辦完然後就回家去吧,想到這裡,我將圍巾索性綁得緊緊的,速戰速決一直都是我最高準則。171Please respect copyright.PENANATfNY5LDrO5
171Please respect copyright.PENANAXaDisowvDl
171Please respect copyright.PENANAEePERY4AFf
繞過校舍主體以後風變得更大了。171Please respect copyright.PENANApmGdUStoPM
171Please respect copyright.PENANAS32gDZdJAo
作為校園美化而栽植的樹木,此刻就像是啦啦隊手上拿的彩球般瘋狂地甩來甩去。171Please respect copyright.PENANAxbceT5vu5n
171Please respect copyright.PENANAZfWEh47t8e
為了節省時間,我踏上已經略為濕漉的草皮,從操場內圈一直線地橫切過去,用最快的速度躲進能夠遮風避雨的體育器材倉庫裡面,然後瞬間把門給大力拉上──!171Please respect copyright.PENANA6hM1ywo1Fs
171Please respect copyright.PENANAvePiSP6FP4
171Please respect copyright.PENANAeX9NNlExNz
「好冷,葛城老師這個笨蛋笨蛋笨蛋……!」171Please respect copyright.PENANAeYkhQJ2AQJ
171Please respect copyright.PENANAlsh8jJH3dJ
我用雙手摩擦著身子的同時,眼睛仍不忘尋找葛城老師白天所疏忽的位置。171Please respect copyright.PENANAEz3Grmn9Bk
171Please respect copyright.PENANAO6r7ytaSdD
沒過幾秒,就在深藍色的跳高墊的上方找到了完全敞開的氣窗……給我等一下,那傢伙該不會是大剌剌地躺在這上面抽菸吧。171Please respect copyright.PENANAiW6ezdyDUI
171Please respect copyright.PENANAV11paNzDnu
171Please respect copyright.PENANAXSfUeg22CY
「啊,看到菸灰了!」171Please respect copyright.PENANAtluZSqWYLy
171Please respect copyright.PENANAbrPOb8IkXc
根本就沒有想要湮滅證據的意思,菸草葉燃燒後產生的灰燼集中散落在藍色塑膠布料的一處,仔細看的話旁邊似乎還有人形的皺摺,一名教師到底要墮落成怎樣才能躺成這樣啊!171Please respect copyright.PENANAWfZmHVPtHL
171Please respect copyright.PENANATIjJnaHE2W
171Please respect copyright.PENANAneAk4Fcbsc
「菸蒂的部份似乎就有好好處理,真不知道是不是該稱讚他細心,嘿唷──!」171Please respect copyright.PENANAWCHoPnZjSU
171Please respect copyright.PENANAnFsQ3pf8iZ
不顧形象的我高抬起腳站到軟墊上,將位於高處的氣窗牢牢關緊。171Please respect copyright.PENANAPBomDDaBYc
171Please respect copyright.PENANAYL6zDA4fTs
除此之外,我還環視了整整兩圈確定所有的氣窗都已經上鎖了以後,才從墊子上輕盈地跳了下來。171Please respect copyright.PENANAQAmBpmWubI
171Please respect copyright.PENANAAJb8Oogacj
到此為止葛城老師所交代的任務就算是告一個段落,好!現在只要趕緊回家就──171Please respect copyright.PENANATpvUSKWHkC
171Please respect copyright.PENANA8AK7p4gJMX
171Please respect copyright.PENANA9liE77lndF
「……咦?」171Please respect copyright.PENANAqS6ZsnfQJg
171Please respect copyright.PENANAGmRXsZJt6o
出現了完全不在計畫裡面的突發狀況。171Please respect copyright.PENANAdpAuMYPLxH
171Please respect copyright.PENANAJRRQrjhGrQ
倉庫那略顯老舊的金屬拉門不管我如何使力,此時此刻就像是在惡作劇似地紋風不動。171Please respect copyright.PENANAc0zFaVZ3lV
171Please respect copyright.PENANAFiHUK7Off3
171Please respect copyright.PENANAUX124EF7FU
「不會吧……偏偏在這種時候!?」171Please respect copyright.PENANAa9WuAYbUK0
171Please respect copyright.PENANA7dq03bm791
連一點點鬆動的感覺都沒有。171Please respect copyright.PENANA71Mfj4qR8Z
171Please respect copyright.PENANAdGjBtIqnnP
我想起了擺放在外面那桶因發霉而準備報廢的老舊球棒。171Please respect copyright.PENANAa1ejhnskeY
171Please respect copyright.PENANA8OTRcltMOd
假設在我關門的時候,其中隨便一根沿著牆壁滑落下來,又那麼剛好卡在拉門移動的滑軌上的話,我剛剛那麼用力拉門的舉動無疑將球棒卡的更加牢固。171Please respect copyright.PENANAfMiH1l6xhE
171Please respect copyright.PENANAquyL5Y1Xun
171Please respect copyright.PENANAWWQiWTF9an
「……這下真的死定了,喂!有沒有人聽得到啊!」171Please respect copyright.PENANA4UO40oVm8Q
171Please respect copyright.PENANAEBwEgzOP6m
搥著鐵門所發出的巨大聲響完全被雨聲給蓋了過去。171Please respect copyright.PENANALlGdUVha2A
171Please respect copyright.PENANAsTebag0b6O
這地方大叫救命根本沒有人會聽得到的,因為距離實在是太過遙遠,僅能用作通風的氣窗位置也不是對著校舍那邊的方向。171Please respect copyright.PENANAe5WVc6tQrB
171Please respect copyright.PENANATNSxiVu9Nt
換作平常的話或許只要待一個晚上就沒事,但偏偏發生在颱風來臨的假日,照這勢頭至少兩天都不會有人到學校來吧。171Please respect copyright.PENANAEHDRqbiRai
171Please respect copyright.PENANAlPo5mZkjpf
更何況我又是一個人住,即使我沒回家也不會有人發現。171Please respect copyright.PENANApj4MVDTfXT
171Please respect copyright.PENANAGzFYdVdIKa
171Please respect copyright.PENANAviKE7p3UqH
「喂! 我被困在體育倉庫這裡了啦! 拜託誰都好趕快來救我啦……!」171Please respect copyright.PENANAiCkp9kbcPy
171Please respect copyright.PENANAdV4btGUR4T
想到這裡全身的汗毛都豎立起來,只好盡可能地從氣窗對著外面大喊。171Please respect copyright.PENANAKhaRhnFTCH
171Please respect copyright.PENANA9MvgRGIc0w
結果不論我怎樣大喊大鬧,外面理所當然地沒有任何人回應我的呼救。171Please respect copyright.PENANAmh0gkeRuUg
171Please respect copyright.PENANACROVcheIIs
連續喊了至少有二十分鐘吧,考量到現況有多麼惡劣後,已經氣餒的我只好全身無力地倚靠著跳高軟墊滑坐到地上。171Please respect copyright.PENANAdD0cEhI18h
171Please respect copyright.PENANADhm61j3Awp
171Please respect copyright.PENANA3vb3UzB4iP
「哎,難道真的要在這裡過夜嗎……」171Please respect copyright.PENANAmyhdIdCT9B
171Please respect copyright.PENANA4sijEkN8Ty
沒有燈又刮風下雨什麼的一定很恐怖吧。171Please respect copyright.PENANAGMZe6R7cc7
171Please respect copyright.PENANASeQqowRdrh
肚子也開始有點餓了。171Please respect copyright.PENANAwmHmJqKpXT
171Please respect copyright.PENANAcSVTnv2EDw
雖然最近有點在意體重的問題,但還是好想吃暖呼呼的壽喜燒……171Please respect copyright.PENANASgUXurntxA
171Please respect copyright.PENANAzQOVDihFru
171Please respect copyright.PENANAJu763G3ecf
「對了,我有跟穗香約了要過去……」171Please respect copyright.PENANAQjJUQ0uWfj
171Please respect copyright.PENANAcbCbeLLL66
靈光一閃的腦袋突然想起了不久前的約定。171Please respect copyright.PENANA1MTlZ3YaYi
171Please respect copyright.PENANATcdoiRTeKs
要是容易擔心的穗香回到家發現我沒過去赴約的話,肯定會通知葛城老師才對。171Please respect copyright.PENANAtKPKPJPTdp
171Please respect copyright.PENANA6RNCO36eSD
171Please respect copyright.PENANAbdbGPxHD7k
「可惡,就只能等了嗎……」171Please respect copyright.PENANATeNWbZhpvp
171Please respect copyright.PENANAdvUmujntq2
雖然情況似乎沒有我想像中那麼糟糕。171Please respect copyright.PENANAhzjBY0Lrvd
171Please respect copyright.PENANAUsKLcNePYG
或許最快到了晚餐時間就會獲救吧,現在只能等待著穗香儘快發現異況了。171Please respect copyright.PENANAnJGwSsd3X3
171Please respect copyright.PENANAeCr13eArJh
開始覺得有點冷的我,從旁邊塑膠籃裡拿出一面旗幟披在身上保暖,在等待救援的漫長時間裡不知不覺地進入睡夢之中。171Please respect copyright.PENANAqjVDjyKScK
171Please respect copyright.PENANAOtobdGm18y
◇171Please respect copyright.PENANAj0fJoFyYrs
171Please respect copyright.PENANAeYKbqDVKue
我和妹妹冬笑的感情並不好。171Please respect copyright.PENANACyGTkB0bzo
171Please respect copyright.PENANAH0GGwn5Iue
171Please respect copyright.PENANAvUvRBe5GzC
不過不只是單單針對我而已,冬笑一直厭惡著整個村子。171Please respect copyright.PENANAjoNI1oIzsT
171Please respect copyright.PENANADQbNg35MsM
對於這種封閉環境難以忍受的她,從升上國中開始就常常找機會蹺課往城市裡面跑。171Please respect copyright.PENANA1ilsgcBQCY
171Please respect copyright.PENANATcyJ2yt0Zx
儘管小時候她曾經在森林裡走失了好幾次,最後都是我排除萬難把哭哭啼啼的她帶回家,但這對她來說似乎也不是什麼重要的回憶就是了。171Please respect copyright.PENANATb1eXPfMh5
171Please respect copyright.PENANAxBIXebmCvS
171Please respect copyright.PENANA8mReNrqPMj
……到後來我們之間根本連對話都沒有。171Please respect copyright.PENANAGcFPvRXKrN
171Please respect copyright.PENANA4rZP8iFyU2
要說交集的話,頂多就是在下樓時剛好遇到,看著畫著淡妝的她身穿能夠展現姣好身材的短褲,挾帶著對我來說有點強烈的香水味離家而去,有時候兩三天不回家更是家常便飯的事。171Please respect copyright.PENANA5hp9DLge7w
171Please respect copyright.PENANA8CAX6j15r7
雖然當時我自己是覺得她變得漂亮了沒錯,但冬笑過於囂張的行徑不免遭受到村人們私底下的指指點點,反而讓她更加疏遠與村子之間的關係。171Please respect copyright.PENANAwV5UA5AOyn
171Please respect copyright.PENANAPNkyV7hSTG
現在想想,要是當時能跟她敞開心胸交流的話,或許也不會導致現在這樣了吧。171Please respect copyright.PENANACWCo81Ojur
171Please respect copyright.PENANArRU0rlPJTb
171Please respect copyright.PENANAEsYTwEmg8j
在她最後一次離家大約四天後,我才從父親的口中輾轉得知她的死訊。171Please respect copyright.PENANArMNgfyTy3u
171Please respect copyright.PENANAANYn3awhTI
171Please respect copyright.PENANAugMnlgs7uK
冬笑的死因是姦殺。171Please respect copyright.PENANAlKcOecSfug
171Please respect copyright.PENANApt961IH8v0
光是寫起來就讓人怵目驚心的兩個字,實際發生在自己的家人身上有多殘酷就不言而喻了。171Please respect copyright.PENANAeZhWXMMiDO
171Please respect copyright.PENANAJsVlP1XSu9
遺體從都市裡運送回來只花了不到兩三天的時間。171Please respect copyright.PENANASf9NSnStzj
171Please respect copyright.PENANAOhfqsqkbqg
從小一同長大的妹妹,在鮮花蔟擁的葬禮上以與她十分不相稱的睡顏躺在那裡。171Please respect copyright.PENANAWg1U9sWw1U
171Please respect copyright.PENANAv5MDl40Pid
然而,那即使用濃妝也難以遮掩、滿是瘀血的臉頰,指甲也斷了好幾片,以及不經意看到那慘白色澤的小腿,至今對我來說仍舊是難以抹滅的痛苦記憶。171Please respect copyright.PENANAP8CD1Mp9r3
171Please respect copyright.PENANAGSc6Yw7e4R
171Please respect copyright.PENANAkN89kVpcQQ
在冬笑死後,每天只知道哭泣的母親終究積鬱成疾而辭世。171Please respect copyright.PENANARrexDZDcVa
171Please respect copyright.PENANAw2z66kxLVQ
而飽受各方面壓力的父親藉著酒精來麻痺現實,脾氣也變得非常暴躁,最後在隔年母親忌日那天,選擇以自殺來終結他的人生。171Please respect copyright.PENANAnptckH9HXW
171Please respect copyright.PENANAtxXBsD4EsG
171Please respect copyright.PENANAOPQDWyYqdn
我還記得那天是個相當悶熱的早晨。171Please respect copyright.PENANAiOIyMu4Bki
171Please respect copyright.PENANA0xguGYZ9GI
在我換好制服、準備好早餐,卻遍尋不著理應出現在餐桌前的父親,決定前往他房間一探究竟後──171Please respect copyright.PENANArhK4nPhDj9
171Please respect copyright.PENANAZaus1x01DT
171Please respect copyright.PENANAh3GvOsNepr
看見了懸吊在半空中的父親。171Please respect copyright.PENANAcPjwgl5NCo
171Please respect copyright.PENANAwtorrBUh1e
171Please respect copyright.PENANAfiZOvVVIBE
從他身後投射入足以讓人炫目的陽光,眼球所能捕捉到的只有像是剪影般的畫面。171Please respect copyright.PENANAnFli9BBHE9
171Please respect copyright.PENANAr6WcGE1kIn
但是在那副身軀底下搖搖欲墜、沿著臀部那邊筆直落地的直腸,看起來就跟田裡面佇立稻草人的木桿一模一樣。171Please respect copyright.PENANA478yrKlJ0j
這就是我為什麼特別厭惡稻草人的原因。171Please respect copyright.PENANAlB2VHXhfKg
171Please respect copyright.PENANA2cTRGtRmuk
171Please respect copyright.PENANAIMiRQbhaLU
後來,對村裡習俗什麼都不懂的我,就這樣交由村人替父親舉辦了葬禮。171Please respect copyright.PENANAtChSFJ3nYZ
171Please respect copyright.PENANARjrTIwrnQE
……等我意會到只剩下我一個人的時候,已經是告別式過後的一個星期了。171Please respect copyright.PENANAz11zfpyMZk
171Please respect copyright.PENANAsAnWG64JZ8
不同於戲劇裡的角色總能在放聲大哭後便得以釋懷,更多時候取代眼淚的是內心的空洞及無助感,當時的我若是放任不管的話或許會很危險也不一定。171Please respect copyright.PENANAtQZRR8qaoY
171Please respect copyright.PENANASZ4xvP9Uyp
171Please respect copyright.PENANAYNEFZuf9qG
唯一慶幸的是後來從村裡面的大家身上得到了許多協助。171Please respect copyright.PENANAu3eUCvuUfu
171Please respect copyright.PENANAbM8akIXWNh
尤其是同樣身為孤兒的耕一,還有個性單純可愛的穗香,年紀相仿的他們總是在我身邊陪伴著,也因此現在的我才能夠回歸到平常的生活。171Please respect copyright.PENANAPLHf8wZzO6
171Please respect copyright.PENANA5fIyXlIOec
171Please respect copyright.PENANAiIAk3j0aUj
後來說來也奇怪,明明在之前一次都沒考慮過未來的生涯規劃。171Please respect copyright.PENANA5NKwoNQbvM
171Please respect copyright.PENANAGCsEIYCRsG
等到實際看到出路調查表的時候,回過神來時我寫下了前往都市就讀大學的這個志願,或許是在我內心深處也想代替冬笑完成她未完的心願也說不定。171Please respect copyright.PENANA0q5XIVuCZ6
