晚餐時間,海川神情慌張的趕回家裡,二話不說便開始收拾行李。他翻出兩只大皮箱,攤開後就開始往裡頭塞衣服、褲子,一副準備要出遠門的樣子。135Please respect copyright.PENANAhvaeVOeTL1
135Please respect copyright.PENANAz91x99UmUj
蔡蓉當時正在廚房裡忙活,一開始還沒當回事,反正海川也不是第一回出遠門,只是沒見過行李收拾速度如此之快!好奇之餘,她暫停手邊工作,前來關切一下到底發生什麼事?135Please respect copyright.PENANAuTzpF5L909
135Please respect copyright.PENANAhI5E0PDlTs
蔡蓉:「嘸你是『著猴』(中邪)唷!是欲去叨位,這麼趕緊?」135Please respect copyright.PENANAPvrw7dtcZe
135Please respect copyright.PENANAByprjwOh24
海川:「妳『暗頓』(晚餐)先莫做啊,咔緊去呷衫仔褲『款款咧』(收拾),咱欲『落去下港』(到南部去)住一陣仔。」只見他自顧自的收拾行囊,頭也沒抬的說。135Please respect copyright.PENANAEd47uWzIEo
135Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZMMQFB2rr
蔡蓉:「毋過飯攏炊好啊,倒掉真可惜,而且……現在米錢又閣夭壽貴......」135Please respect copyright.PENANAcXEkyEIn1m
135Please respect copyright.PENANAvQFd1a5IvA
話沒說完,海川就急著打斷!他沒好氣的說:「嘸妳就先呷飯包包咧,看是欲做成飯丸還是便當,咱路上帶著吃!」135Please respect copyright.PENANAuCOWITlHb3
135Please respect copyright.PENANAdrApQOHgoC
見海川突然急成這樣,蔡蓉也懵了,沒敢再多問,默默轉身回到廚房,依他的吩咐,把飯菜裝成便當帶走。135Please respect copyright.PENANAiv1NdyUQf3
135Please respect copyright.PENANA22fd2UaFle
行李收拾妥當,海川隨即緊閉家裡門窗,還都上了鎖,最後再扶著蔡蓉,一起步出家門。135Please respect copyright.PENANAS0NMF0Wvp4
135Please respect copyright.PENANAGgbW1tMwHC
看著蔡蓉微凸的小腹,海川不禁感慨:「從明仔載開始,恐見要委屈妳一陣仔;咱會真久一段時間袂閣再轉來板橋!」135Please respect copyright.PENANAiYCIYleZPQ
135Please respect copyright.PENANA0HaYhYLUi2
聽海川這麼一說,蔡蓉更懵了!問道:「啥會?閣過一個月半就欲過年呀,你講袂轉來板橋是啥麼意思?」135Please respect copyright.PENANAPE7zvYUSuB
135Please respect copyright.PENANAOKWwt8yur3
海川沒急著回她,步出家門後,一輛轎車已停在門前街道上,裡頭駕駛是海川的堂兄。體諒蔡蓉有孕在身,今晚特地托堂兄開車載他們一程。135Please respect copyright.PENANAD8oYXucD5A
135Please respect copyright.PENANA3dglFJOoYQ
路上,海川一直沒告訴蔡蓉到底怎麼回事,而是與堂兄東家長,西家短的閒聊;最後來到堂兄家裡,今晚夫妻倆先在此借住一宿。135Please respect copyright.PENANARYLDwRLshQ
135Please respect copyright.PENANABvg0jzIvdg
隔天12月25日,這天是「行憲紀念日」,路上許多人家紛紛掛出青天白日滿地紅的國旗,看似慶賀;但在海川眼裡,很可能只是為了表忠,如同當年過日本節慶一樣。135Please respect copyright.PENANAZGi4sy22g3
135Please respect copyright.PENANAjdVoXiAVor
一大早,夫妻倆來到「板橋火車站」(這時已將「驛」更名為「站」),搭首班列車南下。直到上了火車,入了座,海川這才告訴蔡蓉到底怎麼回事。135Please respect copyright.PENANAXhxdqp7Da9
135Please respect copyright.PENANAHpxqIUwW19
「後埔庄榨油的福仔、吳添福,妳敢還會記得?」海川問。135Please respect copyright.PENANAzBDiYFiLEO
135Please respect copyright.PENANAvz298rQz1O
「我記得伊呀,就是常常呷恁逗陣比牌支的油行『福仔』!」一無所知的蔡蓉,笑著說:「恁毋是閣常常笑伊名字取了嘸好,竟然叫作『嘸添福』。」135Please respect copyright.PENANAoLVAohk12L
135Please respect copyright.PENANAWCFN4O6CcV
後來海川向蔡蓉說了一件駭人的臆測!135Please respect copyright.PENANA8q24IS19SH
135Please respect copyright.PENANAeqKoh7LpZU
上月初,得知金富遭逮捕後,海川就開始想方設法該如何營救。他找了地方上很多有頭有臉的仕紳求助,可無奈的是,不是吃閉門羹,就是碰軟釘子!135Please respect copyright.PENANAnGKDsrB7CW
135Please respect copyright.PENANASo1CJYrBWH
最後實在沒輒,海川只好去找卓仔幫忙;因為他自年初開始,就和國民黨走得很近,想說他應該多少有些人脈。135Please respect copyright.PENANAL7k99M5TLf
135Please respect copyright.PENANA6ydlUpM3vm
海川:「是講也真奇怪,卓仔當下並嘸答應講欲幫忙,但是過嘸兩天,富仔就轉來了!」135Please respect copyright.PENANAiqCGKDSPVd
135Please respect copyright.PENANAWOgBmTHNNP
當時看到金富平安回來,海川放下心中大石後,就沒再去多想什麼;可自十二月起,住在鄰庄的好幾個好友,開始無故失蹤或遭軍隊逮捕!135Please respect copyright.PENANAYx6MIRqmZY
135Please respect copyright.PENANAayBXnaZxu1
直到昨天,得知福仔一家老小全讓人逮走,海川這才警覺不妙!於是開始四處找人打聽消息。135Please respect copyright.PENANAsg3wQERXEt
135Please respect copyright.PENANAJrNuKa0sMA
經過一番走動後,海川根據蒐集來的多方信息,再反覆琢磨,仔細推敲,最後總結出一個大膽的假設。他認為卓仔很可能為了救金富,去找國民黨的朋友說情;但對方沒道理白白答應,所以雙方之間,肯定有講好什麼交換條件!135Please respect copyright.PENANA8xXtlAbmdm
135Please respect copyright.PENANAYbZkHyl6Dx
總結到這裡,海川的脊樑骨不禁開始發涼!再比對一下那些被消失的朋友們,發現他們皆有一共同點,就是都曾借過錢給卓仔!135Please respect copyright.PENANA3gquDtszIu
135Please respect copyright.PENANA5YvGQsviwN
「只要債主『嘸去』(消失),安呢卓仔所欠的錢......就攏總毋免還呀!」海川心有餘悸的說。135Please respect copyright.PENANAnMJz4DFF5F
135Please respect copyright.PENANARMz3Fraomp
聽到這裡,蔡蓉突然臉色丕變!緊張的問:「安呢......阮阿弟尹敢會有代誌?敢會給人抓走?」135Please respect copyright.PENANASQipfgHkkn
135Please respect copyright.PENANA9LO7ng5NLG
「安啦。」海川信誓旦旦的說:「恁咔桑對錢真摳,不曾借過半仙錢給卓仔,應該暫時嘸歹誌!」135Please respect copyright.PENANAy8eBNiwE9I
135Please respect copyright.PENANAckNisBOB7F
海川說他昨天已把烤鴨鋪和湳仔溝的事宜,全權交給阿貴去發落了!還說:「反正貴仔現在也『嘸頭路』(沒工作),請他幫贊事業,也順便歷練歷練。」135Please respect copyright.PENANAExbgWuJUs3
135Please respect copyright.PENANAiR0IhpIU6y
可還有一事令海川放心不下,就是金富的精神狀態!何奈他自己也泥菩薩過江,自顧不暇,只好放手讓阿貴去操心了。135Please respect copyright.PENANAjO471uRBI0
135Please respect copyright.PENANAUbhTIK4hNl
林家族兄那邊,海川已打過照面,倘若萬不得已,還得指望林家出手相挺。這一趟出走,他煞費苦心地下了雙保險,已是機關算盡。135Please respect copyright.PENANASN4BBnpExY
135Please respect copyright.PENANAr5dBorjdtQ
海川看著車窗外的風景,不禁感慨:「還記得五月時陣,曹大兄曾講過會死真多人!如今看來,伊應該嘸在『謗風車』(吹牛)!」135Please respect copyright.PENANA1jE2FoNqyl
135Please respect copyright.PENANAfUMoULvxCi
被關禁閉24小時後,弘爺、阿偉,與老譚他們一起獲得釋放。135Please respect copyright.PENANAAjBK2rfg3l
135Please respect copyright.PENANAwvaSNKO7y8
離開號房前,弘爺與福仔在號房聊了好久,明白吳家的處境是如何嚴峻。他透過無線電,想請小玲幫個忙,試著搭救福仔一家;但很可惜,這晚無線電沒呼到她。等隔天再去號房,這才發現福仔他們已被移監他處,不知所蹤!135Please respect copyright.PENANAtdahmVEFRI
135Please respect copyright.PENANAslfRU7X0d7
1947年元旦後,有天弘爺與阿偉又隨憲兵們來到板橋,支援緝捕行動。這次他們又回到後埔庄,但逮捕的是另一戶人家;和上回吳家一樣,又是一家老小、不分男女全都帶走!135Please respect copyright.PENANAtFs07kjY3o
135Please respect copyright.PENANAWo7dU3VzbV
弘爺趁空檔,跑去隔沒兩條街的吳家查探。135Please respect copyright.PENANAFj6n0NxpnZ
135Please respect copyright.PENANAts8B8fIfip
路上鄉親們一看到有軍人出現,人人惟恐必之不及,趕緊轉身迴避!135Please respect copyright.PENANAa5sgvx1I0s
135Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q504Dlyb6
弘爺來到吳家合院大門,緊閉的門板上,被人貼了封條!再從門縫看進去,裡頭依舊是人去樓空。135Please respect copyright.PENANA15lglTpN76
135Please respect copyright.PENANAjDpOvmDUoZ
弘爺環顧四周,想找街坊問事;可這才發現,原本還熙熙攘攘的街道,全跑沒人影!離他最近的路人,是巷口轉角處,挑著扁擔的販菜郎;只見他一個轉身,就隱沒在街口轉角處!135Please respect copyright.PENANAU7P1RhVivw
135Please respect copyright.PENANAzMdPlBtbSQ
最後弘爺實在沒有辦法,只好先行歸隊,以免消失太久,讓人起疑。135Please respect copyright.PENANAYcUCG383Yy
135Please respect copyright.PENANAL2tZSblH8V
任務結束時,老譚又邀他們一起去開小差;但這回阿偉不同以往,他婉拒了!還說:「我今天人不舒服,想回去休息!」135Please respect copyright.PENANAHwex9I6mpJ
135Please respect copyright.PENANABdi3VXRQnd
弘爺見他無精打彩,於是關切了兩句。但阿偉卻言詞閃爍,含糊其詞,死活不肯正面回答!135Please respect copyright.PENANAwWbzhApHq2
135Please respect copyright.PENANAQcSuvruPth
於是弘爺決定,不跟老譚他們去了;他想帶阿偉先回隊部,找醫官看診。
