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!163Please respect copyright.PENANApHjXBq0nhg
163Please respect copyright.PENANAK5TdWNJQI7
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!163Please respect copyright.PENANAxw73nBWqG2
163Please respect copyright.PENANAmneLtG1Io9
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」。163Please respect copyright.PENANAH21VNgdnzu
163Please respect copyright.PENANAGMYoDIhgFt
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」。163Please respect copyright.PENANAu8sb0li6Ds
163Please respect copyright.PENANAjGuFvlTB9s
但兩個小時過去,兩派人馬是你來我往,各執己見,爭論不休!163Please respect copyright.PENANA137e4flIpF

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。163Please respect copyright.PENANAFFpC9eqkfX
163Please respect copyright.PENANAJlXqZggGMy
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。163Please respect copyright.PENANAYqnq7n7dAC
163Please respect copyright.PENANAxNzuOWHj8G
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。163Please respect copyright.PENANA5HYdyHfxh2
163Please respect copyright.PENANABbotweOpET
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!163Please respect copyright.PENANAbiBlYgK2WO
163Please respect copyright.PENANAEgJSvFFwLe
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?163Please respect copyright.PENANASK7GDk5joU

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。163Please respect copyright.PENANAqI7Bs0DhwS
163Please respect copyright.PENANABXmQckGjJ2
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。163Please respect copyright.PENANA2BSIoHF3oQ
163Please respect copyright.PENANASqIQ3nYYoq
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)!」163Please respect copyright.PENANADGqgsEdsia
163Please respect copyright.PENANAXEMge1fcfY
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!?」163Please respect copyright.PENANA0GdLJ48VZk
163Please respect copyright.PENANASp5sDKNy4Y
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!」163Please respect copyright.PENANA0FEHYoQ5nm
163Please respect copyright.PENANAgGPRyoeWES
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。163Please respect copyright.PENANAvEkZuUH83v
163Please respect copyright.PENANAeeEZLyzLbd
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。163Please respect copyright.PENANADxj7liuAPd
163Please respect copyright.PENANA7TUOs0jCLW
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。163Please respect copyright.PENANA2CXxk0VlTz

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!163Please respect copyright.PENANA5zMXpzGwqr
163Please respect copyright.PENANAvLNsKafzZF
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。163Please respect copyright.PENANAgC8rsqzrkk
163Please respect copyright.PENANAslxYlkyJfE
「醒了醒了,他醒了!」門外傳來呼喚聲。163Please respect copyright.PENANAOZ5Wv4BBlH
163Please respect copyright.PENANAOaVW6yu7DG
過了一會兒,曹天鉞走了進來。她說:「你可總算醒啦!」163Please respect copyright.PENANACo7YHiiuvG
163Please respect copyright.PENANAW0UTwbRmCF
「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?」163Please respect copyright.PENANARVYZX72WRw
163Please respect copyright.PENANAhXRZcwbvHp
「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!」163Please respect copyright.PENANAldVKsZ0yUq
163Please respect copyright.PENANAbrBBQw311y
「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!」163Please respect copyright.PENANAvNvVR4uKKH
163Please respect copyright.PENANAerbJc12R8S
「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?」163Please respect copyright.PENANAlj2G2ofwgw
163Please respect copyright.PENANAveM3i6Vzba
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?」163Please respect copyright.PENANALqJoOMgYXb
163Please respect copyright.PENANAdwuRQra6S9
老瓦認真回道:「不錯,我是有打算阻止一場歷史悲劇發生!」163Please respect copyright.PENANA8kSQcoTGVl
163Please respect copyright.PENANAkZ2GxHugRT
「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!」163Please respect copyright.PENANArxrdhcMKk9
163Please respect copyright.PENANA1hVi0LAH18
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!163Please respect copyright.PENANAdWDVlUiK1a
163Please respect copyright.PENANA6PNcfqf1U1
「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。163Please respect copyright.PENANAexp3TsZ6Lc
163Please respect copyright.PENANAakYHb5eCxU
「我出來了又咋地,妳又何必扯活呢?」老瓦問。163Please respect copyright.PENANASz0b34SxCN
163Please respect copyright.PENANA7yrxM7DL8U
「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。163Please respect copyright.PENANAgxPE4COqxB
163Please respect copyright.PENANASLwXLt6sUQ
「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!」163Please respect copyright.PENANA5j2Kjvidjw
163Please respect copyright.PENANAUq2fo0mpTC
「老鐵......妳說啥呢?」老瓦一臉困惑,頻頻問道:「廣元逮了妳什麼人?163Please respect copyright.PENANAPlWTXIqeN7
163Please respect copyright.PENANA2r12OCFfgf
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!」163Please respect copyright.PENANAB1cYZ9Wlti
163Please respect copyright.PENANADNNrxnBB55
「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?163Please respect copyright.PENANAl8MYIPPHBR
163Please respect copyright.PENANAwdfaYgwonJ
「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』!」163Please respect copyright.PENANA4LArCEoFKf
163Please respect copyright.PENANAmzarG6ZMlb
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!163Please respect copyright.PENANAhvxgQT4dzX
163Please respect copyright.PENANARteMnnSpDL
「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!」163Please respect copyright.PENANAsqeAJCp74f
163Please respect copyright.PENANA1G6eK4HzS5
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)!」
