附近鄰庄來了數十位仕紳們齊聚保安宮廟口。在他們的呼籲下,多數鄉親們先行散去,回家休息;稍晚他們再回廟裡,討論該如何幫不幸身亡的囝仔討公道!147Please respect copyright.PENANAs7GwUYHOAE
147Please respect copyright.PENANAyMVQFt5BFx
保安宮前殿裡,仕紳們你一言,我一語,七嘴八舌的議論著;大家的目標都很一致,就是在採取何種手段,有著嚴重分歧!147Please respect copyright.PENANAQgQU6sUbQq

大致分為兩派。一派以蘇一郎為首,由退役台籍日本兵、年輕人為主體,主張武裝起事的「鷹派」。147Please respect copyright.PENANAgniu7MJ12G
147Please respect copyright.PENANAGbJHOCx9rp
另一派以廟公為首,由商人、文人、耆老為主體,主張先向行政長官遞交陳情書,採和平、理性提出抗議的「鴿派」。147Please respect copyright.PENANABaffcjbMni
147Please respect copyright.PENANAUhQeUjFaxz
但兩個小時過去,兩派人馬是你來我往,各執己見,爭論不休!147Please respect copyright.PENANAfMH9xYE2WZ
147Please respect copyright.PENANAOC91PlsjaT
浩克來到糧行探視阿丁。她人已甦醒,後腦腫了一個包,經包紮後已無大礙,只是有些腦震盪引起的反胃感到不適。147Please respect copyright.PENANAL6LO7RLegB
147Please respect copyright.PENANAa1MkgKHMEg
外婆頻頻向浩克致歉!她滿心愧咎,懊悔自己貪圖方便,沒把私貨藏好,讓人搜了出來;更令她痛心的是,害無辜的金萊中槍!此時婆孫倆尚不知金萊已過世的消息,因為沒人敢告訴她們。147Please respect copyright.PENANAIS2hor2Cvj
147Please respect copyright.PENANAKKdTbsO7QF
稍晚,金富、金貴兄弟倆交代完金萊的身後事後,也相繼來到廟裡。147Please respect copyright.PENANARC7cLm70Zf
147Please respect copyright.PENANAR4tttAGaWw
聽完鴿派與鷹派的論述後,阿貴選擇支持鷹派!去年他在鐵道部受盡憋屈,知道本省人與外省人無法站在對等的水平線上講道理,文弱手段只會換來更輕蔑的歧視!147Please respect copyright.PENANAxLhMKZzawN
147Please respect copyright.PENANAcJ6kJN6Ls2
但金富卻顯得猶豫不決,畢竟不久前才從獄中獲釋,如今還餘悸猶存。他試著揣摹林海川的思維模式。心想:若換做是海川,他又會如何做抉擇?147Please respect copyright.PENANAw9BHXkv6HX

一刻鐘後,廟口停了一輛牛車;一位後腦結著辮子的耆老,讓人從車上給扶了下來。他是來自海山庄的前清秀才,已年過八旬,於板橋一帶頗有名望。147Please respect copyright.PENANAMJf6itX6xv
147Please respect copyright.PENANAMDNSlWDbdj
通常這個時間點,「老秀才」早已入睡,但晚餐後得知江仔嘴有囝仔遭執法人員開槍擊斃,他就料到必有大事發生,便趕了過來;只是住得遠,來得晚。147Please respect copyright.PENANAIRqPlSLbkc
147Please respect copyright.PENANA7j8YYWZ1lA
老秀才一到,原本還爭得面紅耳赤的兩派人馬,很快就靜了下來。等老秀才聽完兩派的主張後,他用力朝地板敲了兩拐杖,對鷹派怒斥:「烏白來(胡鬧)!」147Please respect copyright.PENANAf83QQrdeWu
147Please respect copyright.PENANAnq1YvoTV4N
老秀才嚴肅地說:「講什麼欲『呷尹車拼』(跟他們拼命),若真正拼落去......是會死人,恁敢攏毋知影!國民黨閣安怎嘸理,敢會比日本人閣咔嘸講理!?」147Please respect copyright.PENANAEwMae5ro9q
147Please respect copyright.PENANAt8OHucYlaq
老秀才一番老生常談後,總結道:「咱攏是炎黃子孫,拜同一個祖公祖嬷,袂使『凊凊採採』(隨隨便便)就喊欲兵戈相戰!」147Please respect copyright.PENANAjpBAvZZf7g
147Please respect copyright.PENANAVHgj2BbpE8
其實老秀才並非完全否定鷹派的主張,而是認為即便要起事討公道,也該先禮後兵,才符合傳統禮義。在他的倡議下,兩派達成共識,決定先採鴿派的主張,起草一份聯名陳情書,明日率團走一趟「行政長官公署」,遞書抗議。147Please respect copyright.PENANABREIXCgzud
147Please respect copyright.PENANABsqRZxv9xe
見塵埃落定後,金富再趕回家去;他要徹夜寫一篇新聞稿,趕在明天早報刊登。147Please respect copyright.PENANANA1Fq25whE
147Please respect copyright.PENANAmUwkXDDA4l
金富擔心單靠陳情書恐效果不大,必須得擴大事端,讓全台各地激起民憤,這才能挾眾怒聲勢,在外省人面前搶得話語權。147Please respect copyright.PENANAUpvNIdgpXm

老瓦從昏迷中醒來,發現手腳已遭人綑綁,不得動彈,而他就躺在一間鐵殼艙間的床板上。艙裡搖搖晃晃,空氣中還瀰漫著一股重油味,他判斷自己正在一艘船上!147Please respect copyright.PENANAwcJsmoJopq
147Please respect copyright.PENANA0V1MtGmRro
不知過了多久,艙門突然打開!一男子探頭進來查看後,隨即再把門關上。147Please respect copyright.PENANAUod16uycrH
147Please respect copyright.PENANANZtOmT8t7c
「醒了醒了,他醒了!」門外傳來呼喚聲。147Please respect copyright.PENANAkCiRwT9fMx
147Please respect copyright.PENANAc0ZLOJ4WQk
過了一會兒,曹天鉞走了進來。她說:「你可總算醒啦!」147Please respect copyright.PENANAiiZVJFEp1S
147Please respect copyright.PENANAbiNxT48apE
「果然是妳!」老瓦一臉錯愕,急問:「妳怎麼會在這裡?何時來得台灣?」147Please respect copyright.PENANAy12KTVHTFH
147Please respect copyright.PENANAp9vkHvtCPU
「咱們早就見過面啦。」天鉞詭異地笑了笑,接著說:「你忘啦,五天前在淡水港,你的人還跟蹤我們,一路追到了教堂呢!」147Please respect copyright.PENANAkLJvw2yBgy
147Please respect copyright.PENANAesH3TUcsz1
「老鐵......妳怎麼能……」老瓦緊張地坐了起來,長嘆一聲後,感慨道:「妳怎麼能是地下黨!」147Please respect copyright.PENANAc18ffwve2R
147Please respect copyright.PENANAOCnSEpXPy2
「我是不是地下黨這不重要......」天鉞拍了拍他的肩膀,再問:「你是不是當真相信『未來人』一事?」147Please respect copyright.PENANA3seTBVPSfo
147Please respect copyright.PENANAPpLwMkm8QW
見老瓦點頭默認,換天鉞長嘆一聲,又問:「所以......你是不是做了什麼?」147Please respect copyright.PENANAmyWkrSeIaP
147Please respect copyright.PENANAB9PPIVAVZm
老瓦認真回道:「不錯,我是有打算阻止一場歷史悲劇發生!」147Please respect copyright.PENANAerPG8xZgOL
147Please respect copyright.PENANAmFH8HbwEuJ
「唉,我說秀真,你呀你……」天鉞滿臉愁容,語重心長的感慨:「你這是『魏延踢翻了七星燈』,事情全都讓你給『攪黃』(搞砸)了!」147Please respect copyright.PENANAoGZ0hW5DO2
147Please respect copyright.PENANAR0HC6ThXBm
天鉞向老瓦透露,今晚本該有位婦人於「天馬茶房」門外販菸;可她的人在店門外徘徊許久,都未見有人販菸,於是她才前往查看!147Please respect copyright.PENANAaIoUHpEfKM
147Please respect copyright.PENANAFxKLvyN0C7
「出乎我意料的是,這販菸婦沒盼到,反倒把你給盼了出來!」天鉞沒好氣的說。147Please respect copyright.PENANAeMtNHlS24H
147Please respect copyright.PENANAvryT1Gk21x
「我出來了又咋地,妳又何必扯活呢?」老瓦問。147Please respect copyright.PENANA9l81Kcsrkn
147Please respect copyright.PENANAsUz6i7uSLQ
「那是因為當時......即將有大事發生,我想把你帶離開那裡!」天鉞話剛說到這兒,艙門又開了,是稍早和老瓦一起跑酷的步兵!他走進來與天鉞交頭接耳,說完悄悄話後再轉身離去。147Please respect copyright.PENANAwM4rQEqvUE
147Please respect copyright.PENANAizTIu1OsTZ
「我有一隊人讓楊廣元給逮了!」天鉞臉色一沉,無奈地說:「好傢伙,這下雙保險全讓你們哥倆給攪黃了!」147Please respect copyright.PENANAFYRR1pyPx0
147Please respect copyright.PENANAkTS3hiW0m9
「老鐵......妳說啥呢?」老瓦一臉困惑,頻頻問道:「廣元逮了妳什麼人?147Please respect copyright.PENANA95lmbUp0eT
147Please respect copyright.PENANARHEvbd7QvW
天鉞沒回應他的提問,而是神情凝重,自顧自的嘀咕:「時間線『偏移』了!」147Please respect copyright.PENANAn08WSxvy9E
147Please respect copyright.PENANAoYHkugjic1
「時間線偏疑?妳說這些都啥意思呀?」老瓦提問的同時,心裡還琢磨著:這該不會是哪個地方的黑話?147Please respect copyright.PENANAnKexcfLK4A
147Please respect copyright.PENANAdyD4cHhRcu
「我聽人說......如果時間線發生偏移,在臨界範圍內尚能自行修復!」天鉞依舊沒有搭理老瓦的提問,繼續自顧自的說著:「如果明天沒出大事,就表示……舊的時間線發生崩塌,我們開啟了新的『平行宇宙』!」147Please respect copyright.PENANAjgLw6bSdvG
147Please respect copyright.PENANAynfgsIO30f
此時的老瓦,已放棄去理解天鉞到底在說些什麼了,他只求能儘快鬆綁,然後放他離開這裡!147Please respect copyright.PENANA2EnOlx2hRO
147Please respect copyright.PENANAtTvR6v1wnI
「按規矩......我必須清了你!但念在你我同儕一場的份上,姑且留你一命!」天鉞起身,走出艙門前,再回頭補充道:「委屈你了,秀真,暫時在船上住個幾天吧!」147Please respect copyright.PENANA4esuANQfPd
147Please respect copyright.PENANAUb49pb2eMC
稍後,艙門外傳來天鉞與別人的對話聲。她說:「你們好生看著他,手腳務必捆緊,一刻也不得鬆懈!裡頭那『主兒』(傢伙),可是能從76號逃出來的『腕兒』(能人)!」
