骨傳導鬧鐘枕發出吵鬧的鈴聲,盧修斯全身一抖,他張開惺忪的眼睛,現在是早上八時正。699Please respect copyright.PENANANfhrJdmznO
699Please respect copyright.PENANA1qi1r7Wrn8
今天不是適合睡回籠覺的日子,他坐立起來,原先躺在胸膛的書本順著睡袋滑落,臨墮地前他伸手接住了書本。699Please respect copyright.PENANAC4m5YRhH9A
699Please respect copyright.PENANAVd9Wg7vle6
把書輕輕放下,盧修斯搔抓頭皮,打了個呵欠。看來他昨晚又說故事說到睡著了。699Please respect copyright.PENANAQWKVchRO8l
699Please respect copyright.PENANAu54Nw768To
他小心翼翼的爬出睡袋,時刻注意不要吵醒兒子亞當和太太蘇菲。他走到帳幕一邊,往裝滿清水的大臉盆裡扔進一塊灰色藥片,看著顏色由淺轉深,變得適合飲用。他在地上拿起一個馬克杯,從大臉盆舀了滿滿一杯濁水。699Please respect copyright.PENANAg5GvyKtLe0
699Please respect copyright.PENANAw1542ph8bR
拿起牙刷,沾點水便含入口中刷牙。這枝牙刷要換了,開叉的刷毛害他牙肉發痛。刷完牙便用水漱口,拉開帳幕的去水口吐掉。699Please respect copyright.PENANAb8OqVvRY4k
699Please respect copyright.PENANAed7unTY4Sf
不一會兒,蘇菲也被叫醒了,她伸了個舒服的懶腰,沉重的眼皮被濃烈的香氣撐開。699Please respect copyright.PENANACwxmw9kk6Y
699Please respect copyright.PENANAS0pHdWdMqr
盧修斯正在煮咖啡,他舉起瓦斯爐上的莫卡壺,倒滿了兩杯。699Please respect copyright.PENANAVqlnotS9HI
699Please respect copyright.PENANAYf9MbLmkyH
蘇菲速速完成梳洗,接過盧修斯遞來的馬克杯,大口喝著熱咖啡。699Please respect copyright.PENANAoIreeEoXEy
699Please respect copyright.PENANAAgzDabJtIP
耐不住安靜,盧修斯硬找話題,「今天是星期幾來著?」699Please respect copyright.PENANAn7kdnsniAY
699Please respect copyright.PENANARdKcVoo8Te
「星期三,晚上到達羅巴。」699Please respect copyright.PENANAFQOLGcReyd
699Please respect copyright.PENANAk869c8mkX9
「那麼快嗎?我還以為要再一個星期。」699Please respect copyright.PENANA1bmYwc1Yst
699Please respect copyright.PENANA7tURhYFtIM
蘇菲的眼中閃過一道不悅的光芒,「今天要走過大橋,我討厭大橋。」699Please respect copyright.PENANAJLCfsPf1qQ
699Please respect copyright.PENANAGXKuY9o7VX
「你還是放不開那件事。」盧修斯擺擺手,「別想太多,那次只是意外,不會每次都遇到的。」699Please respect copyright.PENANAW0eVhBijPo
699Please respect copyright.PENANAQk0odw2UL3
蘇菲的眼神依然不悅,盧修斯見氣氛不對,決定轉移話題。他假裝看錶,做出嚇一跳的表情,「動作快,我們要趕上商人佐爾。」699Please respect copyright.PENANAfHhAfE5gY5
699Please respect copyright.PENANAbBU6MnXhNZ
起效了,蘇菲立即急起來,她飛快的把咖啡喝光,「你去收抬東西,我去把亞當叫醒。」699Please respect copyright.PENANAuCXVN7QFnD
699Please respect copyright.PENANAREOpPsVJSE
盧修斯從一旁抽出兩個皮包,把東西全都往裡頭塞。十分鐘便把整個帳幕清空,塞滿了兩個人般高的大背包。
他檢查肉架,肉架由六枝手臂長的鐵柱組成,鐵柱間由鏈子串連,扇形的插在背包上。699Please respect copyright.PENANAf0Y0H6dBGu
699Please respect copyright.PENANAUMfInIXERp
肉架上掛著肉乾,有兩隻野免、五隻松鼠、和一打麻雀,用來裹腹或跟商人易物亦可。他把免肉乾取下來,包在布匹之中,希望商人佐爾願意跟他換貨。699Please respect copyright.PENANA5RX0SIAeX4
699Please respect copyright.PENANA2cvcnIUPNi
刷過牙,吃了點餅乾,一臉未睡醒,還瞇著眼的亞當橫起雙手,旨意媽媽幫他穿上防氧套裝。699Please respect copyright.PENANArygwNg00Lr
699Please respect copyright.PENANAHszlk4SmpK
「亞當,再過幾天你便迎來五歲生日,要長大了。大人都懂自己穿衣服,你要當大人嗎?」699Please respect copyright.PENANAbmmg517axe
699Please respect copyright.PENANAAQ5n6vs2CK
亞當看來不是很願意,但還是點頭了。699Please respect copyright.PENANA4OOKHf5Weg
699Please respect copyright.PENANAVoM8IJG4cq
先穿上經脈緊身衣,只露出臉部,把整個身驅包緊緊,然後穿上上衣和長褲,把褲管塞入長靴之中束緊,再披上生理感應外套。一身焗束的裝備害亞當熱得臉紅耳赤。699Please respect copyright.PENANAMMVkjywv3s
699Please respect copyright.PENANAIibfRZF9v8
蘇菲細心的檢查衣服之間是否存有缺口,亞當猛催促叫媽媽快一點。婆媽的反復檢查後,蘇菲終於滿意了。她為亞當戴上形狀像豬嘴的防氧面具,面具的接線續一與生理感應外套和緊身衣接上。699Please respect copyright.PENANAAAC6Cj1tns
699Please respect copyright.PENANAU0gO8EVJJi
扭動袖口上的旋鈕,啟動恆溫和空氣過濾系統。扣在後腰的空調盒嗄嗄作響,故障雖然不影響運作,但就是很吵。699Please respect copyright.PENANAmjOi8forDK
699Please respect copyright.PENANAJwmHYK4YDZ
亞當坐在一旁搖搖晃晃的跟睡魔搏鬥,等待蘇菲和盧修斯穿上防氧套裝。當一切準備就緒,三人到豎立在帳幕中央的鐵桿子旁站著。699Please respect copyright.PENANAOJR4TJf2lh
699Please respect copyright.PENANADxTq4N3ssW
「好了,我要把帳幕收起。當心陽光刺眼。」699Please respect copyright.PENANAjifFDrmNeX
699Please respect copyright.PENANAkwxmGV1cDz
蘇菲聞言掩住了亞當的眼睛。699Please respect copyright.PENANA5gZZkaeBxe
699Please respect copyright.PENANA8fXBFXSbUA
盧修斯按下鐵桿上的按鈕,帳幕快速摺疊收縮,收進鐵桿裡頭。清晨的陽光曬到他們頭上,蘇菲別過頭,盧修斯用手遮光,握住鐵桿抖了一下,將鐵桿縮小致半腰高,掛在背包側旁。699Please respect copyright.PENANANHS0nCaVxI
699Please respect copyright.PENANAyRaR40OfxU
盧修斯和蘇菲揹起大背包,順著成千上萬,同樣穿著防氧套裝的人群大隊行走。699Please respect copyright.PENANAGxR8SRONLi
699Please respect copyright.PENANAEKD5nbGeOe
從飛鳥的角度俯視下去,密麻麻的人類組成螞蟻一樣的大隊,像一條黑色的布帶橫跨在綠油油的平原上。699Please respect copyright.PENANAK4QCtZqL9x
699Please respect copyright.PENANA33PoTuQfrl
放眼開去盡是一片綠意盎然的草原,點點小花在爭妍鬥麗,野免跑出窟窿曬曬太陽。天空是美麗的湛藍,白雲靜靜的乘風飄動,小鳥一邊高歌一邊傲翔。699Please respect copyright.PENANAHlHn1ZwVVI
699Please respect copyright.PENANAvmAbp51DYj
河岸對頭,能看見那些東歪西倒的巨大方塊,表面被綠色植物覆蓋,頂上長著一片森林,一群雀鳥正好飛過,離巢覓食。699Please respect copyright.PENANAID1V6uMbdf
699Please respect copyright.PENANA4750Q18AXD
盧修斯指給亞當看,告訴他那些大方塊被舊種人稱為大廈,是舊時代人類居住的地方。舊種人一輩子都住在大廈裡,不像新種人,是遊牧式的生活。699Please respect copyright.PENANARwlv5L8Qy8
699Please respect copyright.PENANADSIINyMeQ8
亞當表現興趣缺缺,他說爸爸在吹牛,假若舊種人不用遷徙,那食物和水源用光要怎麼辦?只是依書直說的盧修斯不會答,亞當更加肯定他是在吹牛皮的。699Please respect copyright.PENANAeERWcrEkkr
699Please respect copyright.PENANA8tJTBpfoZG
三三兩兩的行人們都是慢條斯理的走,而一家子幾乎是用緩步跑的前進。他們在隊伍中穿梭,盧修斯和蘇菲伸長脖子,尋找屬於商人佐爾的拉車。699Please respect copyright.PENANAIM1fMjGTya
699Please respect copyright.PENANAbIz3LyOlwW
時間是上午十時半,大隊來到了大橋,橋底下的湖面被水生植物舖平,在這種風平浪靜的時節,乍看就像一片大草原似的,青蛙停在河葉上歇息,妖豔的蓮花在引誘人們去採摘。
被植物覆蓋的大橋,就像兩棵屹立在湖中的大樹,中央由藤蔓連結,形成一座懸浮在半空的小樹林。699Please respect copyright.PENANAGanN8dfj01
699Please respect copyright.PENANAxbQ8uEk0PT
盧修斯一家子在橋頭停留,主要原因是蘇菲。盧修斯跟她理論了好一會,蘇菲才答應過橋,不過要在大橋的左側走。盧修斯沒有異議,就讓她帶亞當往左側走,自己留在隊伍中央尋找商人佐爾。699Please respect copyright.PENANA5KosqmEfhW
699Please respect copyright.PENANAsNDv94onqq
又費了點勁,盧修斯找到了商人佐爾的拉車,他在大橋的右側。他追上去,擠過人群,到達佐爾面前。699Please respect copyright.PENANA7hXkRyOP7G
699Please respect copyright.PENANALhyoVIXpjd
佐爾是個大壯漢,一人就能拉動堆滿貨品,體積為他五倍大的拉車。699Please respect copyright.PENANAS2Qt4jb3LH
699Please respect copyright.PENANAcsOmP4yU13
「午安,盧修斯,怎麼只有你一人?太太和兒子還好嗎?」佐爾禮貌的點頭道。699Please respect copyright.PENANA9Vqb03lOiD
699Please respect copyright.PENANAUiTFv29ft6
「很好,呃,不好,蘇菲的老毛病發作。」他們邊走邊說,除了吃飯和睡覺,新種人很少停下來。699Please respect copyright.PENANA5Sxt2XpAqT
699Please respect copyright.PENANA2RphKF77Bw
防氧面具後佐爾的眼睛向上,若有所思,然後晃然大悟,往湖面看去。699Please respect copyright.PENANAu5bGuLET42
699Please respect copyright.PENANAlsyKpT7VU1
「她還在介懷那件事嗎?也對,那件事對一個孕婦來說的確是很大的精神衝擊。」699Please respect copyright.PENANA8IYMQbNK4p
699Please respect copyright.PENANAm1eu0sqoIf
「這也是沒法子的事,是我們運氣不好。」盧修斯聳肩。699Please respect copyright.PENANA35yT0vOl1l
699Please respect copyright.PENANA0MSeZIj6Eh
那件事,指的是在五年前,一名小孩失足墮橋。小孩在湖面掙扎求救,他的父母呼天搶地的向行人求助。湖水對新種人是劇毒,落入水中是必死無疑的事,沒有人會伸出緩手,儘管想幫也是無從入手。699Please respect copyright.PENANA6a0ZdaRBNE
699Please respect copyright.PENANA1NwLFkfj3j
當時,懷著亞當的蘇菲和盧修斯跟隨大隊行經大橋,親眼目睹事情發生。蘇菲嚇壞了,受刺激的精神久久未能平復,傍晚時份產下了亞當,比預產期足足早了一個月。699Please respect copyright.PENANAMA8rqeC7SS
699Please respect copyright.PENANAAmWxGyR6VQ
盧修斯的心神從回憶中抽回,他還有正事要辦,「請問你有賣給小孩用的空調盒嗎?」699Please respect copyright.PENANAppEO26MJLe
699Please respect copyright.PENANA4Qapb74MvH
佐爾把頭扭回來,他打量盧修斯,視線在找他打算用甚麼東西來換。699Please respect copyright.PENANA9eEhjCD3I9
699Please respect copyright.PENANA4UkfT0sXdW
盧修斯把懷中的包裹掀開,展示裡頭的免肉乾。佐爾體態後傾,看來並不高興。699Please respect copyright.PENANAyafzMgKuNC
699Please respect copyright.PENANAbAcl9AZSMS
「我老婆不喜歡吃兔肉,你可以用一打麻雀跟我換嗎?」699Please respect copyright.PENANA5o4EaK26wr
699Please respect copyright.PENANA0dNEzgUIqJ
這次換盧修斯不高興了,他決絕的揮手,「老兄,這過份了,小孩用的空調盒不值一打麻雀。」他的眼睛轉了一圈,想到新點子,「如果你用反感藥跟我換,那就另作別論。」699Please respect copyright.PENANAYJg6XuKPxP
699Please respect copyright.PENANAyyo1gT4PmE
「用來調整催產素的反感藥,我老婆的車子上有,但她在隊頭。」佐爾往前方比了個手勢,「這樣吧,大隊經過圖靈森林時,我們會在那兒紮營休息,你過來跟我們會合。」699Please respect copyright.PENANARvBzqT08kX
699Please respect copyright.PENANAR1kRjRDzat
「好的,一打麻雀換一個空調盒和一盒反感藥。」699Please respect copyright.PENANAWLWkI5viJu
699Please respect copyright.PENANA5hVqK4PzIy
約定好了,盧修斯擠過人群來到大橋左側,遠處的亞當焦急的向他朝手。他跑過去,看到蘇菲抱著頭蹲在地上,發出痛苦的呻吟。699Please respect copyright.PENANA1qK0uqRIHl
699Please respect copyright.PENANA6sZr6qGJfg
「發生甚麼事了?是那兒受傷了嗎?」699Please respect copyright.PENANAGsPIWofB3k
699Please respect copyright.PENANAuhcXAdBPsR
蘇菲抓住他的肩膀,她全身禁不住振抖,喘不過氣,面具上的鏡片濛上一陣白霧,「聲音……可怕的聲音……那些尖叫……」699Please respect copyright.PENANASAqnn3tije
699Please respect copyright.PENANABxk6eAxqzR
那個落水小孩的尖叫環繞在蘇菲耳邊,『救命,救命。』父母的哭喊亦刺入耳中,『求求你們幫忙,求求你們幫忙。』699Please respect copyright.PENANAhjOG61ZcHJ
699Please respect copyright.PENANArZMqo6ioad
聲音化作一道電流經耳道流入腦中,再在胸口凝聚,凝結成一個沉重的枷鎖,隨心跳加速擴大。699Please respect copyright.PENANAoiyUJMrlrE
699Please respect copyright.PENANAVNSO7HspUW
「沒事的,我在這。」盧修斯拍拍她的背,「我們在這兒休息一會。」699Please respect copyright.PENANAfAYxC76ATM
699Please respect copyright.PENANAxrt3DkIGl7
「不,不要留在這裡。」蘇菲搖頭說。699Please respect copyright.PENANAzf7MClfsUB
699Please respect copyright.PENANADxxYWUdhEm
「好的,深呼吸,把頭腦冷靜下來。」699Please respect copyright.PENANAdqar4FMSgp
699Please respect copyright.PENANAgCXhtTay1V
蘇菲深深吸氣時,盧修斯扭動她手腕上的旋鈕,把氧氣調高一度。待她的呼吸漸漸平順,再把旋鈕調回去。699Please respect copyright.PENANAchvnptcVTK
699Please respect copyright.PENANAJTfs1fOyuw
「閉上眼,不要看大橋。」盧修斯握住蘇菲的左手,「亞當,牽住媽媽的右手。」
父子倆一左一右帶著蘇菲走,慢慢的走過了大橋。到達對岸時,他們已經落後很多,為趕上和佐爾在圖靈森林的約定,無奈他們又要趕路了。
一路上蘇菲向盧修斯抱怨,為何要挑在圖靈森林會合?他明知圖靈森林會勾起她的回憶,他們原先說好了要快速通過森林不作停留。699Please respect copyright.PENANAgoiVk4tih7
699Please respect copyright.PENANArEA0g5s0c2
盧修斯編了借口,說佐爾原本開價兩打麻雀,靠他舌粲蓮花才壓價壓到一打麻雀換一個空調盒。因此會合地點的事才不好拒絕。699Please respect copyright.PENANAGWCIRtL1Tk
699Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZzWvKAKva
蘇菲半信半疑的接納了解釋,但還是不斷的碎碎唸。亞當很好奇以前發生過甚麼事,但又怕媽媽生氣,只能把問題往肚裡吞。
時值中午,他們到達了圖靈森林。沖天大樹像一個個肅立的巨人,相比之下人類就只是一只爬過的跳蚤,脆弱,渺小。現在是太陽高掛的時段,森林裡卻是暗暗的,那些偶然穿過樹冠層到達地面的陽光顯得難能可貴。699Please respect copyright.PENANAzI2RNUPIO2
699Please respect copyright.PENANAF68uUhfCGS
大隊中的人們,有些選擇在這裡紮營休息,有些選擇繼續旅途。盧修斯一家在一處平地紮營,稍稍遠離大隊,獲得片刻寧靜的好地方。699Please respect copyright.PENANAO31yv7gCdb
699Please respect copyright.PENANA6h6yqdOrot
蘇菲一直在乾咳乾嘔,她從肉架上拿了兩隻松鼠煮成了肉湯,吩咐亞當吃午餐,便躺進睡袋中小睡。699Please respect copyright.PENANAutIS2JITn9
699Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZdFcGQAqD
另一邊廂,盧修斯獨自前去跟佐爾換貨,用一打麻雀肉乾換來一個空調盒和一盒反感藥。699Please respect copyright.PENANAL3Y0UdundK
699Please respect copyright.PENANAIS8XDsdOMA
事後盧修斯小跑步回到帳幕,他穿過換氣室進到帳幕內,脫下防氧面具掛在胸前。見蘇菲捲縮在睡袋之中,盧修斯把涼了的肉湯拿去瓦斯爐上熱一熱,並偷偷把一片反感藥加進裡去。699Please respect copyright.PENANAh42Kku6XoM
699Please respect copyright.PENANAoownkKhibw
「我們做錯了嗎?」699Please respect copyright.PENANAaa80NpkRJu
699Please respect copyright.PENANAkZmdQ7MsT2
盧修斯轉頭,蘇菲用那哭紅了的眼睛看著他。「我們見死不救,事情就在眼前發生,我們卻當作視而不見。」699Please respect copyright.PENANA5K1Dsiq2U3
699Please respect copyright.PENANAaF4SKxMHvY
「來,我把湯熱好了。」盧修斯端著冒煙的熱鍋蹲到她身前,「把身體暖一暖,你會好起來的。」699Please respect copyright.PENANAACBUDwtcrP
699Please respect copyright.PENANAMGWIm65iAf
蘇菲緊抓盧修斯的手腕,表情顯得歇斯底里,「我們是不是做錯了?那個墮入湖中的孩子,他在水中向我們呼救,我們可以救到他的,但我們選擇視若無睹。為甚麼要放棄他?盧修斯,告訴我。」699Please respect copyright.PENANAVqFBRAq4gj
699Please respect copyright.PENANAJEHjO5d62x
盧修斯把鍋放到一旁,輕握蘇菲的手腕,「你是因為產子後,身體內的催產素過多才會產生多餘的同理心。這些都不是你的錯,你無謂責怪自己。」699Please respect copyright.PENANALR3D8iRDRJ
699Please respect copyright.PENANAFM1mnN6tYA
「那夏娃呢?」蘇菲握得更緊,「我們捨棄了她,甚至沒有盡一分力去試著救活她。」699Please respect copyright.PENANA1mojLG584Y
699Please respect copyright.PENANA6ujzM1mAjM
「她出生便沒有呼吸,我們無計可施。這不是任何人的錯,是她運氣不好。相對的亞當不是活得好好的嗎?比別人的孩子要多一倍的活力,一定是夏娃時刻在守護著他。」699Please respect copyright.PENANAi6xI322lGs
699Please respect copyright.PENANAAG5pqoEKoE
盧修斯說著開始左右頒顧,不見亞當的身影。「乖乖把湯喝掉,我們趕快離開這裡。」699Please respect copyright.PENANAlh8gzAAl3t
699Please respect copyright.PENANAKbovjQyC7c
他戴上防氧面具穿過換氣室,繞帳幕看了一圈,不見亞當蹤影。盧修斯呼喊他的名字,沒有得到任何回應。699Please respect copyright.PENANAnwMg7bsz6i
699Please respect copyright.PENANAaFpTKYPkQD
他注意到地上的一雙足印,向著森林深處延伸。他跟著足印走,不時呼叫亞當的名字。野生動物被他嚇得四處逃竄,他的心也跟著在胸膛中亂沖亂撞。699Please respect copyright.PENANAekpwIrXaGO
699Please respect copyright.PENANAWAd1ppHRCP
跟著走了五分鐘,足印斷了。這兒的泥土又濕又軟,青綠的苔蘚密佈了地面和周圍的樹木,苔蘚生長得很快,剛踩下的足印也在數秒之間被淹沒。699Please respect copyright.PENANAgwJztoqELl
699Please respect copyright.PENANAZB1S8twANZ
陌生的林木漸漸變得熟悉,他記得這裡,他曾走過此路。曾經抱在懷中的重擔,現今轉移到他的心裡去。699Please respect copyright.PENANAzPGfOHhhTG
699Please respect copyright.PENANAnT8egjwLdK
回憶的映像和他眼前的景色重疊,這裡的一草一木絲毫沒有變化,連帶那些他遺留在這兒的罪惡感,也排山倒海的湧回他的身體裡。699Please respect copyright.PENANAqUOhmRtJPv
699Please respect copyright.PENANABBI6soSESI
他看到昔日的自己,失落,滿步躝跚,懷中抱著一個沉重的包袱。他在哭泣,直打哆嗦,不斷重覆道歉,乞求懷中這個不幸的小生命能原諒他的無情。699Please respect copyright.PENANABeqEDBNNSa
699Please respect copyright.PENANAw7PeGBuiIG
盧修斯看向自己的幻象,包在襁褓中的小嬰孩,靜靜的像是睡著了一樣,她是那麼的弱小而無辜。罪惡感在他的心中扎根,他選擇無視,卻不能將之忘記。他加快腳步,將幻像甩到身後。699Please respect copyright.PENANApYkTGxOm1z
699Please respect copyright.PENANAiNJGSPZR9Y
盧修斯停靠在樹根旁休息,他氣喘如牛的,揮手趕走纏繞過來的苔蘚。他從後腰拉出一個碼錶,這兒的氧氣濃度已經超出防氧面具所能負荷的20%。699Please respect copyright.PENANA9MFjAOO2l8
699Please respect copyright.PENANAY0GUaMuHnv
亞當還只是個小孩,身體承受不住,他不可能再往深處走的了。盧修斯抓住樹根往上爬,從高處看,找到了不遠處的亞當,他昏迷在地上,像一塊披滿苔蘚的人形石頭。699Please respect copyright.PENANA40Cn6ZMIrs
699Please respect copyright.PENANADp8HbsFkEY
盧修斯三步併兩步走,來到亞當身前,他抱起亞當,將他從苔蘚的手中搶回來。盧修斯往回走,和以前的自己錯身而過。今天,他不是來放棄自己的骨肉。699Please respect copyright.PENANA18RXDXVQrQ
699Please respect copyright.PENANAwwJ6ZE7KLp
離開了被苔蘚侵佔的區域,盧修斯看了一眼碼錶,氧氣濃度回落到安全水平,亞當身上的苔蘚亦急速枯萎,化成微塵隨風離去。699Please respect copyright.PENANAOhhfDu9Ovw
699Please respect copyright.PENANAj0xsrdJp0p
他把亞當安放在地上,調節空調盒的各項參數,使他漸漸醒來。699Please respect copyright.PENANAPQ9wdeL0uw
699Please respect copyright.PENANAmuIvH8kamx
「爸爸?」亞當眨眨充滿疑惑的眼睛,完全弄不清現在的狀況。699Please respect copyright.PENANAhyEf3p34rE
699Please respect copyright.PENANAslsdo2UjIt
「你到底在想甚麼!不知道森林裡很危險嗎!你險些沒命了!」盧修斯停止訓斥,他深吸口氣,現在不是教訓小孩的時候。「沒有摔傷腿嗎?我們要走了。」699Please respect copyright.PENANAmrhydIcyZK
699Please respect copyright.PENANAmlrcqlMn9x
盧修斯環視四周,他分不清那個方向才能回到帳幕。他再次爬上樹根,找尋走過來時留下的足印。699Please respect copyright.PENANAbq43t5Wcmr
699Please respect copyright.PENANALsCjYiacjb
「森林中有個女孩。」亞當說。699Please respect copyright.PENANAbYE8PeBsWi

盧修斯看向他,他的眼神真誠不像在說謊。699Please respect copyright.PENANAayF4NX7r7n
699Please respect copyright.PENANAL23LROo8ip
「有另一個小孩在森林中迷路了?」699Please respect copyright.PENANAYWoOf1ZJh3
699Please respect copyright.PENANAeAz4PZHQPf
「女孩蓬頭垢面的,而且衣不蔽體。我跟她說話,她不理我。我走上前,她就逃跑,我跟著跟著不知何時便昏倒了。」699Please respect copyright.PENANApvDpJw5S9m
699Please respect copyright.PENANAGgamo14qra
「你是吸氧氣吸到腦子壞掉了。」盧修斯說,「成年人赤身暴露在自然中半分鐘便會死亡,何妨那是一個小孩。」699Please respect copyright.PENANAN8BP6K26dD
699Please respect copyright.PENANAdvmGK5lxbB
他跳下樹根,牽著亞當走,找到了那雙清晰的足印。他們沿足印走,走出了森林,終於回到了扎營的空地。699Please respect copyright.PENANAS3CXpLS1b2
699Please respect copyright.PENANAjjO7DFWEjp
亞當興奮的往帳幕跑,盧修斯卻呆立在原地,他怕嚇到亞當所以沒有指出問題。699Please respect copyright.PENANAK83xPwRaBi
699Please respect copyright.PENANAs78ERimRCK
這雙足印不屬於他們,足印的形狀細小,且面向帳幕,細心一看,足印有趾頭,它的主人是赤腳走在地上的。699Please respect copyright.PENANAJxYkMYgB6j
699Please respect copyright.PENANAQkNl8CkPwf
盧修斯轉身回望森林,在林木間穩約站著一個人影。如亞當所描述,是個骯髒的女孩。年齡和亞當差不多,長長的頭髮看來自出生便未經修剪,全身赤裸並充滿污垢。比起人更像一頭野獸。699Please respect copyright.PENANAMRiCbhhYlB
699Please respect copyright.PENANAAWZcA4mT7O
盧修斯定了神,腦中閃過荒謬的聯想,他的嘴唇擅自動了起來。699Please respect copyright.PENANAS0OBB8xv72
699Please respect copyright.PENANAmgmMURT0iG
「夏娃。」699Please respect copyright.PENANASOH26ddFR9
699Please respect copyright.PENANABnXdpUynBV
女孩轉進林木後消失了。
之後,蘇菲狠狠的教訓了亞當一頓,看來反感藥的效果極為顯著,她不再為過去的事情憂鬱自責,變得非常有精神。一家子收拾物品再度出發。他們沿著大隊而行,在黃昏時段走出了圖靈森林。
699Please respect copyright.PENANAKumpc5rqxG
