火速趕來鐵道部的金富沒找到阿貴,卻意外目擊本省職工與外省幹部打群架!等衝突平息後,金富這才打聽到阿貴上午與高層起口角,讓人遣回家放假去!這時,他焦慮不安的心,才得以放下一半。166Please respect copyright.PENANAQVetox7mDT
166Please respect copyright.PENANAEeWwAfcCxv
阿貴的同事們也認識金富,都知道他是記者;於是向他請託,希望他能把本省人受外省人欺負、歧視、差別待遇等事情報導出去!身為記者的他,立馬答應,並專業地展開現場第一手採訪。166Please respect copyright.PENANA5enfSk82cp
166Please respect copyright.PENANA2xcQrvsuZt
傍晚,金富回到家裡,看到平安在家的阿貴後,另一半還懸在半空的心,終於放下!166Please respect copyright.PENANA4FleJ4dXFB
166Please respect copyright.PENANAsAteWtTsgE
晚餐後,金富同阿貴講述了下午目睹鐵道部打群架的事!166Please respect copyright.PENANAMNCa916Qye
166Please respect copyright.PENANAztAWe2t2wD
「我就知影(我就知道)!」阿貴憤憤不平地感慨道:「我若離開,裡面的台灣人絕對『按奈袂著』(忍不住),會對外省仔動腳動手!」說完,他又沈默了半晌,接著說:「安呢也好,給那群高傲的外省仔知影,咱台灣人也毋是好欺負!」166Please respect copyright.PENANAYv4BO6BLzp
166Please respect copyright.PENANA8Qjgg5xgj7
金富勸道:「明載我會將今仔日發生的代誌刊出去,鐵道部的代誌……你就暫時先『莫睬』(別管)。」他還特別叮囑,說最近外面世道亂得很,勸他少出門為妙,能在家放放長假,陪陪乙妹、蔡沛,也是好事。166Please respect copyright.PENANA9fxBjzxd35
166Please respect copyright.PENANA1EKED2kplk
當晚,金富徹夜寫完新聞稿,隔天新民報獨家揭露了鐵道部群架一事,還完整詳述事件的全程經過與前因後果!166Please respect copyright.PENANAToxMsi94sO
166Please respect copyright.PENANAhedfK27KvT
很快的,這起報導引起了當局的關注!166Please respect copyright.PENANAIFcouwfyS9
166Please respect copyright.PENANAN1L3Op9Epx
隔天,負責新聞監管的外省官員登門來訪,與報社經理、總編輯等高管們會晤了一下午!官員以維護社會秩序穩定為由,警告今後不得再刊登有關本省人與外省人起衝突的報導!166Please respect copyright.PENANASyZR4QYrIw
166Please respect copyright.PENANAs5esLHx4Xk
但新民報不但不接受,還底氣十足的表示,往後仍持續關注省籍衝突並詳實報導!總編輯甚至揚言,說日本人都沒再怕了,還怕國民政府!?166Please respect copyright.PENANAnAtJOjRPLC

賦閒在家的阿貴,閒來無事,一早就去溪畔的鴨場走走,順便看看大輪車的人都在忙活些什麼。正在鴨寮撿拾鴨蛋的小治,看到阿貴來了,暫時放下手邊工作,和他聊了起來。166Please respect copyright.PENANAWA02MBSY08
166Please respect copyright.PENANAGg7zmCjw4r
「刮了兩天的風,今天卻沒風,都快熱死了!」小治抱怨道。166Please respect copyright.PENANAquHYcEdBTE
166Please respect copyright.PENANAZRVfM05p48
聽他這麼一說,阿貴擔心有颱風將至,於是建議他們把雛鴨、鴨蛋轉移至高地;還說他們蔡家在堤防外邊有一小塊閒置農地,可以把一部分鴨子趕到那裡安置。166Please respect copyright.PENANA5Qq2IgTBHP
166Please respect copyright.PENANAw39Ne1JuLp
可阿貴卻一再叮囑,絕不能讓蔡母知道!就怕她到時又會找他們兄弟倆,囉哩叭唆好一番!166Please respect copyright.PENANA9wwM6GeZBC
166Please respect copyright.PENANAP4n1FtixwF
等阿貴向劉伯父子、金賢知會過後,下午,大輪車與蔡家人便一同展開轉移工作。好在最近生意很冷清,舖裡不用留太多人,就暫時交給蔡蓉看著。166Please respect copyright.PENANAaajcq8tn1S
166Please respect copyright.PENANABg4ByGcVo5
傍晚,小治帶著金賢、金萊,三人駕著牛車來到店舖,打算將舖裡商貨收拾完後一起載走。166Please respect copyright.PENANAlsg3ZoHmMN
166Please respect copyright.PENANAGmuQw96TAV
蔡蓉一聽說有颱風,隨即抬頭遠望,見西半邊的天空果然呈現一片「火燒雲」!她知道這是颱風欲來的前兆,開始擔心起家裡屋頂漏水一事,於是拜託小治待會收攤後,隨她回家查看;如果可以,看能否在颱風進來前,幫她修繕屋頂!166Please respect copyright.PENANAm7FlTEgkrK
166Please respect copyright.PENANA4U6zecRaab
一開始小治還有些猶豫,畢竟他也不懂如何處理屋頂漏水。但轉念一想:大姊最近一直冷落我,今天難得釋出善意,若拒絕,怕不近人情。166Please respect copyright.PENANAtcx3WNk5Ru
166Please respect copyright.PENANAhN5P0jRVVv
最後小治還是答應了!等舖裡的商貨收拾完畢、傢俬歸置妥當,小治再托金賢、金萊幫忙帶話回去;事由交代完後,這才隨蔡蓉一同離去。166Please respect copyright.PENANA6IsyZdAdXt
166Please respect copyright.PENANAM9qX7T4lCj
牛車先回到蔡家,查理已在此等候。當他得知小治隨蔡蓉回家時,先是一臉錯愕,但沒多說什麼。他們迅速把商貨卸完,再讓金萊將空牛車駕去農舍。166Please respect copyright.PENANA78qbsBRiFa
166Please respect copyright.PENANAnjK80L6Lpz
浩克、俊泰正在農舍打包無線電、骨灰盒與其他私人物品。他們見金萊獨自駕著牛車回來,卻不見小治,感到不解;後來得知實情後,二人也是面面相覷,心照不宣!166Please respect copyright.PENANA1KcKwY9QHq
166Please respect copyright.PENANAfQzLwWz9I0
「唉,唐僧就這麼進了盤絲洞!萬一回不來,該怎麼辦?」俊泰因為金萊在,不敢明著說,只敢拐彎抹角的嘀咕著。166Please respect copyright.PENANAPjSW5btX5i
166Please respect copyright.PENANAScWbTf39SG
「先別管那麼多了,我看就快下雨,趕緊把東西搬上車吧!」浩克沒心思多管小治,因為他認為當務之急,是把眼前的轉移工作先完成才是。166Please respect copyright.PENANAkCbTIf5Pce
166Please respect copyright.PENANAWPX4IS3FQJ
蔡蓉與海川的住家,位在南庄西南一隅,是間二層的獨棟洋樓;平常只有他們夫妻倆同住,沒請庸人或長工。166Please respect copyright.PENANA2GfaArynUR
166Please respect copyright.PENANA0N9eHX4XLA
無巧不巧,小治隨蔡蓉才剛回到家,風雨便至,傾刻間是狂風驟雨、電閃雷鳴!166Please respect copyright.PENANA0ImQOIds3C
166Please respect copyright.PENANA8XoaCjdxwn
蔡蓉領小治來到二樓,趁著雨勢,很快就看到漏水處,位在二樓前間屋的天花板,三處破口,滴水如柱地不斷落下!166Please respect copyright.PENANAhuB8QFxgIA
166Please respect copyright.PENANATvIrp9vrgc
蔡蓉習以為常的搬來水桶,擺在漏水處接雨,同時還抱怨道:「厝外落大雨,厝內落小雨!」166Please respect copyright.PENANAgG9lCTLPGD
166Please respect copyright.PENANA6BolFynTOu
小治見狀後,自知無力解決,於是用他那怪腔怪調的閩南話說道:「這種漏水情形,我也無法度處理,不如這兩天請妳閣再委屈一點,等天氣變好,我再閣找人過來幫妳修理,好毋好?」166Please respect copyright.PENANAHqh3t7ZF9w
166Please respect copyright.PENANAy0pjqiSgLW
話一說完,小治就急切的想要開溜,卻讓堵在樓梯口的蔡蓉給攔住!166Please respect copyright.PENANAqxYzZR95a6
166Please respect copyright.PENANAUnfjLeca4w
「『這馬』(現在)風雨這呢大,我看你也是莫轉去咔妥當。你『腹肚敢會夭』(肚子會餓嗎)?還是我落去煮一碗麵給你吃,等吃飽了後,看風雨如何,你再閣轉去。」蔡蓉說完,隨即轉身,下樓去廚房準備熱食。166Please respect copyright.PENANAEDlgyqCKnI
166Please respect copyright.PENANANpy5Ptz8QH
小治獨自一人守在二樓前屋,搬了張椅子坐下;瞅著天花板的漏水,滴滴答答不停落下,彷彿置身在水濂洞裡!166Please respect copyright.PENANApeluxeJmmu
166Please respect copyright.PENANAB4H7WBEyGh
沒過多久,水桶盛水已達八分滿!小治本能地把水桶提出去前陽台倒掉,卻不料,才剛一開門,外頭風雨就打了進來!只是簡單的倒個水,卻讓雨打得一身濕!166Please respect copyright.PENANAUk0zcZ2qFb
166Please respect copyright.PENANALsjo713ukd
在這濕濕涼涼的颱風夜裡,穿著濕透的衣服實在難受!小治乾脆脫去上衣,上身打著赤膊坐在椅子上,持續盯著水桶,反覆替換。166Please respect copyright.PENANAlntO3j0QUB
166Please respect copyright.PENANAvRh5q4bwDT
約莫半小時左右,蔡蓉端著餐盤走了上來。她做了碗湯麵,配著兩碟漬物,擺在一旁几案上,喚小治過來用餐。166Please respect copyright.PENANACTYKtjNyqp
166Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8p0Nakfbn
忙活了大半天,飢腸轆轆的小治,端起湯麵便囫圇開吃了起來!蔡蓉則坐在一旁,默默的看著他吃麵。166Please respect copyright.PENANACUpUm1w36A
166Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3L5JnNmUF
蔡蓉仔細打量上身半裸的小治,瞧他那鮮肉般的精壯體魄,與臨近中年的林海川相比,著實養眼太多,腦中竟不斷湧現出一幕幕魚水交歡的畫面!166Please respect copyright.PENANAhQTB8d6zRS
166Please respect copyright.PENANA2CnDWbj5bM
小治快把麵吃完時,才驚覺到只有一碗!於是問:「『阿姊仔』為啥毋閣煮一碗『做伙吃』(一起吃)?」語畢,卻見蔡蓉呆坐一旁,半晌無語,於是又再問了一遍。166Please respect copyright.PENANADM5dPIEL4Z
166Please respect copyright.PENANAZbUlftnOZP
蔡蓉回過神後,趕緊笑答:「我『還袂夭』(還不餓),等咔晚再吃。」說完,她起身去替換水桶;和小治一樣,門一推開,換她被風雨打得渾身濕透!
