因為通貨膨脹，小玲、弘爺、阿偉，三人一起湊了60萬的大紅包！整疊捆好，紅紙裹著，像塊磚兒似的交付禮金桌。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPZs1UtwX4
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesrLU555WU
阿春、乙妹坐在桌裡頭，她們身後還擺了兩件大竹簍，裡頭裝滿像這樣子的錢磚！一旁的孩子們正圍著竹簍轉呀轉，嬉戲的同時還兼著看顧禮金。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W83nxs5CR
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm19Ion37L
簽完名、交完禮金後，三人在蔡秀的引路下找到小治他們；沒想到，光大輪車一行人就佔了一桌！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OwBSsxYvX
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JuxEXlbw4
小玲數了數人頭，以她為基點，左起依序是小治、查理、浩克、羅排、花子；右起是弘爺和阿偉，一共八個人。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sHJPoOhkA
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrzjR6g4ko
「咦，怎麼沒看見俊泰？」小玲問。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpqTBtgc3w
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2Tl8cdyQy
「他今天不舒服，待在家裡休息。」浩克婉轉回道。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcSlT9M0Zi
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm0gLeidsb
一張十人桌，餘下兩個空位。小玲心裡嘀咕著：等一下會是哪兩位和我們一起同桌呢？149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2nosclrvr

過了一會兒，許久不見的蔡蓉，在海川的攙扶下緩緩走來；夫妻倆先後就坐，只見蔡蓉小腹為凸，明顯有了身孕！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsnNSKYI7B
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NQdR6dkca
由於已過頭三個月的保密期，海川趁今天蔡家大喜之日，喜上加喜的宣佈蔡蓉懷孕的喜訊！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJI35hXPOj
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXUi9d9uql
現場親友聞訊後，輪番前來敬酒致賀；畢竟海川也盼了好多年，如今總算如願以償，喜獲麟兒！唯小治、查理、浩克三人，尷尬的面面相覷，心照不宣。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRTTcnsQ6O
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQYJ8qpzdQ
查理試著轉移話題，滿臉笑意地讚嘆道：「在這麼艱困的時期，幫『阿賢』舉辦大婚，蔡家確實不簡單啊！」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkX3IXIhEl
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe02GM9HPS
不料，蔡蓉卻不冷不熱地嘲諷道：「這哪有啥，攏是因為『賢仔』是咔桑的親後生……」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF0iSeImAy
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoitFF2BpB
話沒說完，海川趕緊示意她少說兩句，以免失言！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQNg8OoNoK
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF2ptDks6a
這時，有對夫妻從鄰桌走了過來，他們先對海川敬了一杯，接著再對同桌的人也敬一杯。海川起身向大夥介紹，他們就是二姊夫「卓東陽」與二姊「蔡娣」！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPslnBgR96p
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY9G6LCrQU
小玲舉杯回敬的同時，刻意與「卓仔」對了一眼！他們彼此心裡有底，但仍顧作陌生！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKAQ1zxHuF
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7cIw4Y4Et
又過了一會兒，阿貴偕金富一同過來敬酒。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5YuEPLnZv
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV2f3eJKFH
阿貴因忙於張羅婚宴，分身乏術。他向大家頻頻致歉道：「招呼不周......還望你們多多包含，今晚酒菜一定包君滿意！」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhupVJfaNK
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDABYoDdWgR
可一旁的金富卻顯得氣色很差，好似多天沒睡的樣子，整個人神情恍惚、魂不守舍，不同以往那樣能言善道、八面玲瓏！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vWpvLbRBU
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QvomnR0R3
冬天太陽落得早，很快的，天色開始變得昏暗，路燈也紛紛亮起。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKD3Uz5h5i

當桌上花生瓜子都快嗑光了，「總舖師」（外燴廚師）的人手這時才開始陸續上菜；與此同時，新郎倌和新娘終於登場亮相！偕同長輩們，逐桌敬酒。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicdiSmUczE
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZXbNDi8oK
金賢一身黑色緞面長袍馬褂，胸前掛著一朵大紅結彩！新娘則一身鳳冠霞披、穿金帶銀！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6vvykpX35
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X6mzkbaKF
大輪車一桌人，這時才首次見到新娘的模樣；她的相貌平平，姿色一般，五短身形，體態豐腴！他們終於明白，為何這個時代，還能有女孩都年芳二十了，還尚未出嫁！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSouT0lYmLS
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwlsxGcyBt
身為新郎倌的金賢，臉上雖掛著笑意，但卻皮笑肉不笑，不難發現他正用意志力強打著精神，逢場作戲！他的內心肯定很排斥這樁婚事，但即便百萬個不願意，也無可奈何，只好藉著不停敬酒，企圖把自己活活灌醉！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcGekRJd7t
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNxEO28fpD
席間，小治與小玲比鄰而坐；兩人雖心繫彼此，但整晚卻沒有太多交集。也許是兩人心中皆有愧的緣故，只見他們是一而再、再而三的顧左右而言他，始終不把話題帶到彼此的近況。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZgZ5czG2L
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3dYW822mJ
小玲與楊站的那點破事，以及蔡蓉肚子裡的孩子，這些都深藏彼此心裡，沒敢讓對方知道！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K7uP4rE4M
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGz9xxznn4
筵席接近尾聲，海川夫妻倆先一步離席。他們前腳才剛走，小玲就趕緊向小治透漏。她說：「對面桌那個叫『卓仔』的二姊夫，你們得防著點！」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ375YCqsAgw
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbQaFLKkcQ
「為什麼？」小治不解。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6bX90CWM3
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv2GcoVidv
小玲：「他就是姓楊的安插在你們身邊的『抓耙仔』（馬仔）！」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI5ez3W2oG
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS9j3RYqcv
聽到小玲這麼一說，小治不禁倒吸一口涼氣！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMpCsY6sS3
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQgzuAR1KG
「但你們先別打草驚蛇！」小玲再怯聲地說：「我看他也不是什麼壞人。這回多虧有他，金富才能順利脫險！」總之，他們只要知道誰是眼線，後面的防範措施就好辦了。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjaLl1YNTz

這一晚，俊泰之所以沒去吃喜酒，是怕觸景傷情！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbNuyPc3hd
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYWAjn8Hts
俊泰獨自一人在家留守，煮點麵線，拌一拌肉燥，囫圇就是一餐。就在他端起麵碗，正要開動時，門外傳來多輛汽車的引擎聲，由遠而近，在此起彼落的陣陣煞車聲後，停了下來。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB5ghbyOUs
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamxjDPr8oi
俊泰直覺不妙，因為這時代的汽車本來就不常見，加上每回聽到引擎聲，準有壞事發生！於是他不敢大意，將碗筷放下，先穿上鞋子和外衣再說。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWaDcqGdmt
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUFKKySfBx
三輛黑頭車就停在平房前面的街道上，車上先後下來九名黑衣人；他們身著中山裝、頭戴紳士帽，於隊前帶頭者，正是燈子！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERmO53wJeT
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXuw7w8Pav
燈子帶著一隊幹員，循卓仔提供的線索，驅車來到這裡。楊站命他趁婚宴這天來江仔嘴踩點，闖一趟空門，搜一搜大輪車的老巢！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KXbuqB9s7
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaYXZ4584T
當燈子走近平房一瞧，感覺不大對！嘴裡嘀咕：「怎麼屋裡頭會有燈火？」149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOtVbjwlOE
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIjjCj1ZUr
燈子環顧四周鄰房，家家戶戶皆門窗緊閉，烏漆嘛黑，唯獨這戶尚有明光！於是他輕輕推了大門一把，結果門沒鎖，一推就開；此時俊泰人就站在門後，他與燈子四目相望，雙方剎時間皆不知所措！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlfvyBCYUi
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8x7VYsHhL
「站住！」燈子這一喊，俊泰立馬撒腿往後跑！跑到廚房，推開後門，奔出屋外後，一溜煙就不見蹤影！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqpVL8igDu
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZNHKSixwz
燈子趕緊帶人追了過去，因為讓人看到臉了，按江湖規矩，他得滅口才行！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGXTgDpVu1
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9DSLScGIb
他們兵分多路，勢必得把人逮住！只是後門一出去就是鄰里間的巷弄，若非當地住戶，外人一旦闖入，就如同進了八掛陣，拐沒兩個彎準迷路！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPerF06dlu
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPpC8BkS7F
俊泰遁入巷弄的同時，邊跑邊用台語大聲喊叫：「火燒厝、火燒厝啊、緊來救火唷！」他知道這時候喊救命，肯定不會有人出手，但如果喊失火，街坊鄰居定會竄出來一探究竟！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf7PIms2RS
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlML32EPUT
果不其然，原本夜深人靜的鄰里，很快開始有了騷動。全仗日本人戰時的消防演練到位，家家戶戶男丁們，熟練地戴上防災頭巾，執起打火帚、提著水桶，紛紛從屋裡跑了出來！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lWB1WhJ3V
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRxe09H9dz
鄰居們發現有外省人打扮的陌生人出現在巷弄裡，趕緊圍過來盤問。他們先用閩南話問：「恁是啥麼人？是叨位在火燒厝？敢是恁在喊救火？」見對方似乎不懂，又用日語再問一遍。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv35gkTEGSb
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmM1FEUGCz
燈子及其幹員們都慌了！倒也不全是因為聽不懂或答不出，而是行動見了光、露了臉，還不慎栽進了八卦陣，驚動了馬蜂窩，讓鄉親們持傢伙給團團圍住！此時的燈子，一心只想著速速撤離，走為上策！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJEOsbIFnE
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBChc1xyTB
俊泰回到自家後巷，再爬上屋頂，匍匐於屋瓦上，居高臨下，遠觀街坊鄰居如何團團圍住黑衣人盤問。149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hXfTEDV3w
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloE79F1vZl
燈子等幹員們陸續收攏、聚齊後，趕緊撤回黑頭車，引擎一發、油門一踩，立即揚長而去，不知所蹤！149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92WmGCh0tG
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyd2mkwsFg
莫名其妙的街坊鄰居因遍尋不著火源，紛紛各自回家休息，鄰里間又恢復往常一樣的寧靜。
