帝江一愣,問道:「丹姑娘……此話何意?」171Please respect copyright.PENANA67FK1ETtPB
171Please respect copyright.PENANABrukB0rCF2
陳丹微笑,道:「您貴為山主,這福澤還請莫要虛耗,我呢,本就是命數已盡之人,此生能多出幾個年頭,見到世間那些從未想過的樣貌,已是感恩戴德,眼下該是時候上路啦。」171Please respect copyright.PENANA8iwqU9K4tR
171Please respect copyright.PENANArlbvTBqkql
帝江拿出錦囊,勉力一笑,試圖揭過話題:「不過三年時光呢,世間玄妙之事豈是三年能遍覽的?天山外頭還有許多……」171Please respect copyright.PENANArux7WXm96B
171Please respect copyright.PENANAodvluhNQsY
陳丹拉起帝江的手,接過錦囊,重新放回他掌中,將他拳頭闔上,她說:「我呀,自小便討厭自個兒的名字,若非老爹說這名兒給繡在我那褓布上,我才不用。陳丹陳丹,成單成單,爹娘不僅將我遺棄,難不成還盼著我形單影隻?聽上去怪不吉利的。」171Please respect copyright.PENANA92PEurHyCk
171Please respect copyright.PENANAT4Um28RGCf
「常霜的名字就挺好,他比我慘些,初見他時已有五歲,比我年長一歲,還沒個名兒,整日只知道在街上流連。好在他碰上我啦,我便給他起了名,就叫常霜,常霜長雙,自此以後我倆便形影不離,縱然世道艱苦,總還有彼此扶持。」171Please respect copyright.PENANAOVfD7OjyxU
171Please respect copyright.PENANA150kuAeZrT
陳丹放開帝江,自腰間取出帕子一條,陳舊的帕子角落繡有歪歪扭扭的「丹」和「霜」字,兩字風格迥異,但同樣奇醜無比。171Please respect copyright.PENANAvdqVu5Vg10
171Please respect copyright.PENANA19HBE7aXAK
她愛惜地摩挲陳舊但潔淨的帕子,續道:「常霜患病以後,成日想趕我走,千方百計都試遍了,說他厭煩我了、說他失憶了、裝聾裝瞎等等,還有許多,可我偏不走。許是我倔強,將他逼急了,有一回,他不告而別,倒也沒走遠,就藏在屋後樹叢裡邊,但為使我相信他已離家出走,還煞費苦心買通守村大叔,誆我說見到他離去。」171Please respect copyright.PENANAZI6MsEAYDk
171Please respect copyright.PENANAu7z0qdaBfU
「結果我找了他整整十天,週邊所有村落全都找了,第十天還是老爹看不下去叫人帶話給我,謊稱他被人打劫,傷得厲害,想我回去照看他一陣。」171Please respect copyright.PENANAaiB9Z7fgmQ
171Please respect copyright.PENANACwAb96eFQ1
「回家時常霜悄悄來看我,見我灰頭土臉,衣袍襤褸,兩隻眼睛腫得嚇人。大約是我過份邋遢驚呆了他,常霜不慎滑一跤,碰一聲好大聲,登時叫我發現。」171Please respect copyright.PENANAp2glH7X4HW
171Please respect copyright.PENANAaj4F01Gi1A
陳丹重新收起手帕,直視帝江,說:「那時,我撲上去揪住他,一面嚎啕大哭,一面大吼大叫:『不許丟下我!不許丟下我!知道我為什麼喊你常霜嘛?因為此生我只同你雙棲雙宿、茶飯家常!不許丟下我!奈河橋也要同我一塊兒走!』」171Please respect copyright.PENANARtDO7RHG8a
171Please respect copyright.PENANAmjxYurBeo7
她笑出聲:「現下想來,這話屬實天真,哪有幾對有情人能一塊兒過奈河橋的?可我該是吼大聲了,竟將朱厭仙家喊了來,這般幼稚的願望忽然便實現了。」171Please respect copyright.PENANAUNDFOdQtGv
171Please respect copyright.PENANA1srW5POoWL
陳丹對說:「山主大人,得您垂青實是幸事一件,也十分感念您讓我能親手安葬常霜,可我當真該走了,當初是我喊得同過奈河橋,再不去,常霜該等急了。」171Please respect copyright.PENANAa14YzqsCYz
171Please respect copyright.PENANAnn1LbkvXjD
帝江緊了緊拳頭,輕聲說:「知道了。」171Please respect copyright.PENANAx4qh2zsbLx
171Please respect copyright.PENANAGfgFmJoCmu
他也不明白自己為何就這樣執著陳丹,如同陳丹執著常霜一般。171Please respect copyright.PENANAY63CM5y8Vh
171Please respect copyright.PENANA1MRmKHtpQD
但帝江不願過份逼迫陳丹,若他想,令陳丹繼續活下去並非難事,可她若不高興,他大約也高興不起來。171Please respect copyright.PENANAAwV840jNiG
171Please respect copyright.PENANAQbAyc9BPCA
無妨,他心想,陳丹是凡人,死後入道輪迴,他能探聽她的命數,雖探問輪迴這樣的天機需耗費一些心神,可他樂意,待陳丹轉世時,他定能做那位最早識得她的人。171Please respect copyright.PENANAFe6zXTmbeA
171Please respect copyright.PENANAb8Jpx4oDDY
帝江重新將錦囊收進袖中,好聲尋問道:「福澤所延壽數磕得死緊,今日晚膳便是丹姑娘最後一餐,姑娘可有想吃什麼?」171Please respect copyright.PENANAyIPselptgA
171Please respect copyright.PENANAoM4UGowm7U
陳丹想了想,笑道:「陽春麵。」171Please respect copyright.PENANAdyC7I6DuhP
「陽春麵?」帝江倍感疑惑,僅此而已?171Please respect copyright.PENANAUKfseR9OMw
「嗯,您還沒嚐過吧,我這廚藝可是得老爹真傳,給您也做一碗吧?飯後再補上一支糖畫鯉魚給您。」171Please respect copyright.PENANAYB0hRKdOyn
171Please respect copyright.PENANA8saCZuFVdK
「好。」他一笑,很輕很輕地。171Please respect copyright.PENANACi33GMPkOK
171Please respect copyright.PENANABZ2G9z5Hw4
那碗麵,帝江已忘了是什麼滋味,就如過去他在食肆裡用餐一般,醉翁之意總不在麵,在食肆打雜的少女;在與他同桌的陳丹。171Please respect copyright.PENANAZwCZqx6yJW
171Please respect copyright.PENANADUIB62DIZm
那支糖畫鯉魚倒是印象深刻,陳丹許久沒畫鯉魚,手藝依然精湛,帝江覺著挺好看,和初見時一般好看。171Please respect copyright.PENANAmqe2I9WrjJ
171Please respect copyright.PENANAkpdUBS4hD2
飯後,兩人就著帝江的琴聲有一搭沒一搭地閒話,陳丹似乎沒打算就寢,帝江自然作陪到底。171Please respect copyright.PENANAILG226eqg2
171Please respect copyright.PENANAAkkGI78hlN
子時將近,時間在一曲良宵引中流逝。171Please respect copyright.PENANAejSAELqqPr
171Please respect copyright.PENANAELYX2BqwpO
帝江問陳丹:「丹姑娘來世想做怎樣的人?」171Please respect copyright.PENANArMFTaUIT8s
171Please respect copyright.PENANAKUuvOerap9
陳丹搔搔臉頰,移開欣賞帝江彈琴的目光,她說:「從未想過呢,待到來世再煩惱好啦。」171Please respect copyright.PENANAldw7OWKo2r
171Please respect copyright.PENANAdVHsdfb2RI
帝江笑道:「不論是個怎樣的人,定會有個順風順水的一生。」他會看著的。171Please respect copyright.PENANArf3nHCGrpn
171Please respect copyright.PENANAVZYYjJ6Bt6
陳丹搔抓臉頰的手有些僵硬,她笑而不語。171Please respect copyright.PENANAVjleXAKIG2
171Please respect copyright.PENANACNmVqGKKi1
子時正。171Please respect copyright.PENANA3hftQJYcXk
171Please respect copyright.PENANAT6QHONBI1L
一股異樣爬上陳丹心頭,她忙抬頭看向帝江,後者擱下落霞古琴,起身握住陳丹雙手,說道:「丹姑娘,走好,來世再見。」171Please respect copyright.PENANAsXCiJcwFc1
171Please respect copyright.PENANAjj18ZIsbd2
一顆淚珠溢出陳丹眼眶,她低聲說:「對不住,帝江大人,謝謝您,謝謝您……永別了……大人……」話音未盡前,陳丹已化作一抔輕塵,頃刻散失。171Please respect copyright.PENANAInTp9734wj
171Please respect copyright.PENANArlu36WSAyH
帝江沒看見凡人死亡時該有的微光,三魂七魄的光,有魂魄方能入道輪迴,再臨常世。171Please respect copyright.PENANAQagc29f5Jb
171Please respect copyright.PENANA7CHfHv0z8X
陳丹身死即魂滅。171Please respect copyright.PENANAJtEvKk06sR
171Please respect copyright.PENANAhZa27BPTSh
她始終沒告訴帝江,朱厭同她一塊兒回家時,常霜剛嚥下最後一口氣,除了渡予常霜一半壽數,陳丹還以自個兒轉生的機會,換回常霜今生。171Please respect copyright.PENANAeiCH2daB48
171Please respect copyright.PENANAlSzWKBavyS
同過奈河橋都是瞎說,此後,世間再無陳丹。171Please respect copyright.PENANAvzC3ZIpFCO
171Please respect copyright.PENANA4JrUH37AQJ
帝江頭一次想留在身邊的姑娘,在他眼前逝去,決絕地,徹底地。171Please respect copyright.PENANA1ddSlkpMa4
171Please respect copyright.PENANAGJhIXf8bAf
171Please respect copyright.PENANAfyOZpJPuYe
「……」一時靜默,齊雨瞥向身旁離綰,姑娘正淅瀝嘩啦地哭,帝江流不出的淚水都讓她幫忙流了,肩頭青鳥十分有耐心地一下一下以翅膀替她擦淚,不時撓撓她鼻尖逗她笑。171Please respect copyright.PENANAa9jx2Zf2wo
171Please respect copyright.PENANARir4MDP7Di
齊雨抬起手,摸摸袖口,又將手擱回膝頭,開口問道:「而後,你去了哪兒?宣鑒既不知曉此事,那便是冥府十殿閻王處了?可是忘川?」171Please respect copyright.PENANA1KXPHjpZmm
171Please respect copyright.PENANAwrevcz7t3k
帝江長歎一口氣道:「非也,我想過忘川,可陳丹魂魄已散,忘川乃是魂魄洗滌之處,既無魂魄,她又怎會在忘川裡?」171Please respect copyright.PENANAtaz2g69L8I
171Please respect copyright.PENANAMVJrkyQxZ3
「於是?」齊雨問。171Please respect copyright.PENANAcnRbCkz8u8
「我去了眾帝之臺。」帝江說。
