帝江一愣,問道:「丹姑娘……此話何意?」208Please respect copyright.PENANAJNiri2ICQn
208Please respect copyright.PENANAWI3fLXmzeP
陳丹微笑,道:「您貴為山主,這福澤還請莫要虛耗,我呢,本就是命數已盡之人,此生能多出幾個年頭,見到世間那些從未想過的樣貌,已是感恩戴德,眼下該是時候上路啦。」208Please respect copyright.PENANAmPJEMzk8KH
208Please respect copyright.PENANApJ2SEKuq4g
帝江拿出錦囊,勉力一笑,試圖揭過話題:「不過三年時光呢,世間玄妙之事豈是三年能遍覽的?天山外頭還有許多……」208Please respect copyright.PENANA2ttqhoWUF9
208Please respect copyright.PENANAEyB1Y3xKV6
陳丹拉起帝江的手,接過錦囊,重新放回他掌中,將他拳頭闔上,她說:「我呀,自小便討厭自個兒的名字,若非老爹說這名兒給繡在我那褓布上,我才不用。陳丹陳丹,成單成單,爹娘不僅將我遺棄,難不成還盼著我形單影隻?聽上去怪不吉利的。」208Please respect copyright.PENANAVYyNLdHJnl
208Please respect copyright.PENANASKirit54Q1
「常霜的名字就挺好,他比我慘些,初見他時已有五歲,比我年長一歲,還沒個名兒,整日只知道在街上流連。好在他碰上我啦,我便給他起了名,就叫常霜,常霜長雙,自此以後我倆便形影不離,縱然世道艱苦,總還有彼此扶持。」208Please respect copyright.PENANAIh4Ni2OeWI
208Please respect copyright.PENANAKe1zLkHy6B
陳丹放開帝江,自腰間取出帕子一條,陳舊的帕子角落繡有歪歪扭扭的「丹」和「霜」字,兩字風格迥異,但同樣奇醜無比。208Please respect copyright.PENANAlDgDZhEBF4
208Please respect copyright.PENANAUNO3tjXIWb
她愛惜地摩挲陳舊但潔淨的帕子,續道:「常霜患病以後,成日想趕我走,千方百計都試遍了,說他厭煩我了、說他失憶了、裝聾裝瞎等等,還有許多,可我偏不走。許是我倔強,將他逼急了,有一回,他不告而別,倒也沒走遠,就藏在屋後樹叢裡邊,但為使我相信他已離家出走,還煞費苦心買通守村大叔,誆我說見到他離去。」208Please respect copyright.PENANAjQR5Aup3Wk
208Please respect copyright.PENANAwiUNVGQVRM
「結果我找了他整整十天,週邊所有村落全都找了,第十天還是老爹看不下去叫人帶話給我,謊稱他被人打劫,傷得厲害,想我回去照看他一陣。」208Please respect copyright.PENANApc9VgdZr0c
208Please respect copyright.PENANASHEELg2ghh
「回家時常霜悄悄來看我,見我灰頭土臉,衣袍襤褸,兩隻眼睛腫得嚇人。大約是我過份邋遢驚呆了他,常霜不慎滑一跤,碰一聲好大聲,登時叫我發現。」208Please respect copyright.PENANAWqJm2FfngE
208Please respect copyright.PENANAn91MIj35db
陳丹重新收起手帕,直視帝江,說:「那時,我撲上去揪住他,一面嚎啕大哭,一面大吼大叫:『不許丟下我!不許丟下我!知道我為什麼喊你常霜嘛?因為此生我只同你雙棲雙宿、茶飯家常!不許丟下我!奈河橋也要同我一塊兒走!』」208Please respect copyright.PENANATVSaSQ9cxI
208Please respect copyright.PENANA9mILKRe6tZ
她笑出聲:「現下想來,這話屬實天真,哪有幾對有情人能一塊兒過奈河橋的?可我該是吼大聲了,竟將朱厭仙家喊了來,這般幼稚的願望忽然便實現了。」208Please respect copyright.PENANA7I98Bb2Jtv
208Please respect copyright.PENANAQi1NdPKMFI
陳丹對說:「山主大人,得您垂青實是幸事一件,也十分感念您讓我能親手安葬常霜,可我當真該走了,當初是我喊得同過奈河橋,再不去,常霜該等急了。」208Please respect copyright.PENANAjJojaQGix3
208Please respect copyright.PENANA0BWbU9nLVY
帝江緊了緊拳頭,輕聲說:「知道了。」208Please respect copyright.PENANAYBhox7ATLG
208Please respect copyright.PENANAeIYpgVSzBL
他也不明白自己為何就這樣執著陳丹,如同陳丹執著常霜一般。208Please respect copyright.PENANAMZZ0Hj3AIA
208Please respect copyright.PENANAOYWILZGHKj
但帝江不願過份逼迫陳丹,若他想,令陳丹繼續活下去並非難事,可她若不高興,他大約也高興不起來。208Please respect copyright.PENANAiZUoKtkj7H
208Please respect copyright.PENANA97hM7ae4nc
無妨,他心想,陳丹是凡人,死後入道輪迴,他能探聽她的命數,雖探問輪迴這樣的天機需耗費一些心神,可他樂意,待陳丹轉世時,他定能做那位最早識得她的人。208Please respect copyright.PENANAWIHueYe04k
208Please respect copyright.PENANAqS2IC1o2I3
帝江重新將錦囊收進袖中,好聲尋問道:「福澤所延壽數磕得死緊,今日晚膳便是丹姑娘最後一餐,姑娘可有想吃什麼?」208Please respect copyright.PENANAgoHcgJcTGN
208Please respect copyright.PENANA6CkoSUDX3f
陳丹想了想,笑道:「陽春麵。」208Please respect copyright.PENANAbOoA3XsDRr
「陽春麵?」帝江倍感疑惑,僅此而已?208Please respect copyright.PENANALteXI5r2Z2
「嗯,您還沒嚐過吧,我這廚藝可是得老爹真傳,給您也做一碗吧?飯後再補上一支糖畫鯉魚給您。」208Please respect copyright.PENANAXsn7JfQQps
208Please respect copyright.PENANAziqKcmkj8M
「好。」他一笑,很輕很輕地。208Please respect copyright.PENANAn7bcXwi1C6
208Please respect copyright.PENANAvlnMqJujb8
那碗麵,帝江已忘了是什麼滋味,就如過去他在食肆裡用餐一般,醉翁之意總不在麵,在食肆打雜的少女;在與他同桌的陳丹。208Please respect copyright.PENANAXBEee5j4VX
208Please respect copyright.PENANAbLV2SPAyZw
那支糖畫鯉魚倒是印象深刻,陳丹許久沒畫鯉魚,手藝依然精湛,帝江覺著挺好看,和初見時一般好看。208Please respect copyright.PENANAWV95Xx9HKN
208Please respect copyright.PENANAS1mSttJOqW
飯後,兩人就著帝江的琴聲有一搭沒一搭地閒話,陳丹似乎沒打算就寢,帝江自然作陪到底。208Please respect copyright.PENANAjaW8CIYFgq
208Please respect copyright.PENANAD0wiNwft3f
子時將近,時間在一曲良宵引中流逝。208Please respect copyright.PENANAzRpAECcBuO
208Please respect copyright.PENANASjaRkg4x4C
帝江問陳丹:「丹姑娘來世想做怎樣的人?」208Please respect copyright.PENANA5dFBT8IObx
208Please respect copyright.PENANA8IW0LsurQx
陳丹搔搔臉頰,移開欣賞帝江彈琴的目光,她說:「從未想過呢,待到來世再煩惱好啦。」208Please respect copyright.PENANAOmDS4MffkW
208Please respect copyright.PENANAxgVejaC3mx
帝江笑道:「不論是個怎樣的人,定會有個順風順水的一生。」他會看著的。208Please respect copyright.PENANAoT5KB8Oyel
208Please respect copyright.PENANAQhnaPY1O6j
陳丹搔抓臉頰的手有些僵硬,她笑而不語。208Please respect copyright.PENANA1z4V59cWth
208Please respect copyright.PENANAW7VFc8gh4S
子時正。208Please respect copyright.PENANAnJUVxWL4eo
208Please respect copyright.PENANAOLIny9vW00
一股異樣爬上陳丹心頭,她忙抬頭看向帝江,後者擱下落霞古琴,起身握住陳丹雙手,說道:「丹姑娘,走好,來世再見。」208Please respect copyright.PENANAwawOUjVyZc
208Please respect copyright.PENANAD1R1gEmf9C
一顆淚珠溢出陳丹眼眶,她低聲說:「對不住,帝江大人,謝謝您,謝謝您……永別了……大人……」話音未盡前,陳丹已化作一抔輕塵,頃刻散失。208Please respect copyright.PENANAhcgHylkwYO
208Please respect copyright.PENANAjqYCXgYtqS
帝江沒看見凡人死亡時該有的微光,三魂七魄的光,有魂魄方能入道輪迴,再臨常世。208Please respect copyright.PENANAIDKSd0MPZG
208Please respect copyright.PENANAstAacLzolW
陳丹身死即魂滅。208Please respect copyright.PENANA0ACNKrExZa
208Please respect copyright.PENANACCzOs3NjtE
她始終沒告訴帝江,朱厭同她一塊兒回家時,常霜剛嚥下最後一口氣,除了渡予常霜一半壽數,陳丹還以自個兒轉生的機會,換回常霜今生。208Please respect copyright.PENANAmsSZcACwUA
208Please respect copyright.PENANAp5Fm5gUKEW
同過奈河橋都是瞎說,此後,世間再無陳丹。208Please respect copyright.PENANAdsXBtQRKBI
208Please respect copyright.PENANAiCey1WUNwV
帝江頭一次想留在身邊的姑娘,在他眼前逝去,決絕地,徹底地。208Please respect copyright.PENANAtJlM6I1CzV
208Please respect copyright.PENANAwFhaKpciS1
208Please respect copyright.PENANAioWK2jzZvS
「……」一時靜默,齊雨瞥向身旁離綰,姑娘正淅瀝嘩啦地哭,帝江流不出的淚水都讓她幫忙流了,肩頭青鳥十分有耐心地一下一下以翅膀替她擦淚,不時撓撓她鼻尖逗她笑。208Please respect copyright.PENANAYPGV5eceP6
208Please respect copyright.PENANAOXjIxEURGC
齊雨抬起手,摸摸袖口,又將手擱回膝頭,開口問道:「而後,你去了哪兒?宣鑒既不知曉此事,那便是冥府十殿閻王處了?可是忘川?」208Please respect copyright.PENANAw5kC9In2LD
208Please respect copyright.PENANAPj4ozTQzsF
帝江長歎一口氣道:「非也,我想過忘川,可陳丹魂魄已散,忘川乃是魂魄洗滌之處,既無魂魄,她又怎會在忘川裡?」208Please respect copyright.PENANAFndbXLqAaV
208Please respect copyright.PENANAtjnbd5igR6
「於是?」齊雨問。208Please respect copyright.PENANAvYLvXIOiQC
「我去了眾帝之臺。」帝江說。
