「這不是志村醫生嗎?還真少見,你也來買晚餐材料啊?診所今天不開業嗎?」背後傳來詫異的婦人聲,儘管頭昏昏沉沉的難受,他依然露出慣常笑顏回過身和對方打招呼。23Please respect copyright.PENANAhyYEw5dsMR
23Please respect copyright.PENANAjywP73MwiJ
「是田中太太啊,下午好。」住處位於社區,加上在這待上將近三年的時間,來診所掛號看病的多半就是同個社區的人,自然而然便一一記起各個人的名字及容貌,眼前的田中太太便是屬於其中之一,是個身材豐腴,且健談熱心助人的婦女。早些年曾經在城市為人家幫傭,後來丈夫工作意外腿蹶了,加上兒子因事離職換工作,便舉家搬遷到這社區生活。23Please respect copyright.PENANA9dtPZgNg8s
23Please respect copyright.PENANAiGHc9X7E7U
或許是天性使然,每天都可以從診所內看見她開心的推著丈夫輪椅到處散步串門子,當然也會固定帶著丈夫來問診,記得前幾天田中先生才因天氣導致關節疼痛的老毛病又開始了,不曉得現在情況如何。23Please respect copyright.PENANAzsnZnvDulh
23Please respect copyright.PENANAG29GK7OdMu
23Please respect copyright.PENANAgk9czAxuek
「哎呀,都已經快五點要變成晚上好囉。」田中太太圓潤的臉上掛著和氣的弧度,呵呵地笑著打趣。 23Please respect copyright.PENANAXQEuR2rdQo
23Please respect copyright.PENANApvoAdal2jg
他聞言往櫃台附近的自動門望去,夏季過後,夜晚也逐漸拉長,往往五六點天色就暗了,因此透明玻璃外是一片粉紅柔紫的鬆軟調子,像極幼時颱風將至的那種前天夕暮瑰麗地幾近夢幻的色系,似乎預告稍晚將又有一場滂沱大雨。23Please respect copyright.PENANAzj0VRAAqIs
23Please respect copyright.PENANAgGXGbu2Kw7
某種熟悉的像老舊影片播映時出現跳接的畫面,由於這樣的暴雨前的寧靜夕霞,從心底的最深處浮現至眼前。23Please respect copyright.PENANAGNjri0hdSd
23Please respect copyright.PENANAC2tclXsalY
明明,已十幾年不再想起任何過去和那人一起生活的片段。23Please respect copyright.PENANAkUuoomoe9A
23Please respect copyright.PENANAwIV0B5OEC4
23Please respect copyright.PENANAu31JpX0i9C
23Please respect copyright.PENANA2fWkLkultd
「醫生?醫生?你還好嗎?怎麼一直看著門?」見他失神盯著自動門方向好半晌,向來關心旁人的田中太太自是急切地詢問他,並在他眼前揮手試圖引起他注意。23Please respect copyright.PENANA6g2DlPgIUl
23Please respect copyright.PENANAhsy3ca1rmM
過了幾分後,他才彷彿從中清醒般掉頭望回田中太太。23Please respect copyright.PENANA4g5GiJd41L
23Please respect copyright.PENANAVGh21RRlpb
「大概是因為感冒緣故吧,有點不太能集中思緒呢……」意識到自己失常,他有些歉然地掛著笑顏,聲音高低起伏,卻緩慢了許多。23Please respect copyright.PENANAOZFPJ2WWH2
23Please respect copyright.PENANAboDwjeWvHP
事實上,他甚至也開始覺察喉嚨像被灼傷似的,每當他一開口就摩擦不已的澀痛,看來這次感冒比他預期的還嚴重上許多。23Please respect copyright.PENANAbxusML9erw
23Please respect copyright.PENANAQiTiSJ4U6o
「咦?您感冒了?怎麼不看醫生……唉唉,我這是怎了?都忘了您就是醫生哪。」婦人先是大驚小怪的責問,卻倏然想起他的身份而尷尬地自故自結尾。23Please respect copyright.PENANAUwVNSdZZjz
23Please respect copyright.PENANAEXNDpPHyCH
「抱歉喔,瞧我緊張成這樣,一時忘了您的身份。」婦人自嘲地笑。23Please respect copyright.PENANAbAOG5CGblD
23Please respect copyright.PENANAa0kMxfvLKx
「沒關係,因為這樣,所以今天診所晚上臨時休業,我才在這裡買晚餐的材料。」23Please respect copyright.PENANAr49ECJQH7q
23Please respect copyright.PENANAsCIFRgLA6W
「原來是這樣啊……」23Please respect copyright.PENANAI0Rxj9uifS
23Please respect copyright.PENANAeZRQesg8Kp
見沒什麼話題可聊,他面帶微笑地向婦女點頭致意後,腳步拐彎準備進入生鮮蔬菜區拿取一把蔥跟一盒蛋到櫃台結帳時,不料婦女卻忽然開口讓他打住動作。23Please respect copyright.PENANAKZfctzXJuQ
23Please respect copyright.PENANAsACN0OTvME
「說起來,醫生您的年歲也不小了,有沒有考慮成家立業,或者安定下來了呢?」23Please respect copyright.PENANAj4urBSYJum
23Please respect copyright.PENANA8z2RrMoD8j
田中太太在這社區是出了名的媒婆,幾乎好幾對新婚夫妻都是在她的媒妁下結婚的。最近由於已沒其他可以讓她撮合的單身男性,便想起他是獨自一人的關係吧,轉而開始向他遊說。23Please respect copyright.PENANAYO8nbz54Ww
23Please respect copyright.PENANAS0A3CuJeSw
「這……」23Please respect copyright.PENANAvI9vuXVNHZ
23Please respect copyright.PENANAYoItxBTQfB
眼見他面露難色,婦女急切地張口解釋。23Please respect copyright.PENANAikUEAxQIAr
23Please respect copyright.PENANAEAFvZctb0t
「先別急著拒絕,我不是要逼你去相親啦,只是看你孤家寡人有點怪寂寞的,剛好我家附近有個不錯的女孩兒,也許你們可以約個時間見面,湊合看看囉。」23Please respect copyright.PENANAzQTlraQ7Ai
23Please respect copyright.PENANAFtqmDvekIj
「但……」23Please respect copyright.PENANAv9wrMz0agO
23Please respect copyright.PENANA75ZEtyTBhV
就在他想著要如何拒絕時,婦女又忽然想到什麼的開心大嚷。23Please respect copyright.PENANAJPIEGoToS3
23Please respect copyright.PENANAYSG6HCD6Ao
「啊!要不就現在我請她來?剛巧您感冒了,總需要有人照顧您吧?擇期不如撞日,這樣不是也很好嗎?」講著講著,婦人還真拿起放在菜籃裡的手機,找著她口裡那位女性的電話號碼來了。23Please respect copyright.PENANA25B6wUUrxx
23Please respect copyright.PENANAeThC1cbCFq
幾乎就在同一瞬間,他按掉對方已經撥通的電話,並用堅決口吻道:23Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9ljIvnuYK
23Please respect copyright.PENANAwkY50oaZMs
「不,不,不用了,您的好意我心領,可是沒關係,我自己一個人應付得來。」他內心打鼓似的泛起緊張節奏,制止對方的手甚至有些顫抖,儘管,那是很難看出的細微變化。23Please respect copyright.PENANAqSiXpupxyD
23Please respect copyright.PENANA0W5atFqoau
「咦?不用嗎?其實那女孩兒住在您家附近不遠喔,我想應該是不至於造成什麼大困擾……」23Please respect copyright.PENANAuroVC1zjWz
23Please respect copyright.PENANAg2YS8GZPLh
「真的不用了,來我家對這位女性的形象也許會造成負面影響吧,況且,我之前感冒也都是一個人處理,都沒什麼問題,相信這次也是會一樣的。」23Please respect copyright.PENANAsNp25uQZ4h
23Please respect copyright.PENANAB6NLqnPheu
也許是他異常堅決的態度讓田中太太打消念頭,先前幾次都會再遊說他一番,但這次卻很快的把她手機放回籃子內。23Please respect copyright.PENANArLFEagAo2W
23Please respect copyright.PENANAxDGUZhappK
「既然您都這樣說了,也不好勉強,不過真有什麼狀況記得要跟我們說,我們會過去幫您的。」23Please respect copyright.PENANAwjjDNQ4ZQY
23Please respect copyright.PENANAnUzmOpzBdr
「嗯,如果真有什麼狀況的話,會跟你們說。非常謝謝妳的好意。」23Please respect copyright.PENANApP9bJ1SdFA
23Please respect copyright.PENANA6oVu6Q83No
「不會啦,反正互相幫助是應該的啊,醫生您別客氣。啊,不小心就耽誤您的時間了,抱歉抱歉,您還要買菜對吧,真是不好意思,請別介意喔。」23Please respect copyright.PENANAOAok6bCQ25
23Please respect copyright.PENANAInHcMdFqm1
「沒關係。啊,感覺要再下雨了,妳也早點回去吧。」23Please respect copyright.PENANAJOnEeaW4Ai
23Please respect copyright.PENANAcPmrjIoajS
婦女笑著和他點頭,然後往賣場另一邊邁著熟食的區域快步而去。23Please respect copyright.PENANAwWgSlQuZ8j
23Please respect copyright.PENANAQAfKdJbJJV
他復又拐入邁著各式蔬菜的開架冷藏區,彎身拿了一把蔥,抬頭正好望見一盒特價豬絞肉,想也沒想的,他伸手取過那最後一盒,接著在這區的盡頭挑了一盒今天才剛進貨的蛋,便往櫃台走過去排隊等候結帳。23Please respect copyright.PENANApzf6zexSTD
23Please respect copyright.PENANAXvHcuDnXID
在結帳處後方牆壁上,長方形電子鐘正顯示著17:05。23Please respect copyright.PENANAOdV0kb08wl

過五點半左右,天色迅速轉暗,下午曾稍停的雨勢也因烏雲密佈而有落下之勢。23Please respect copyright.PENANASpX4QN5cZu
23Please respect copyright.PENANAfMhPk024dF
一副上班族打扮的青年在人行道行步迅速,定睛一看,可以發覺他甚至將公事包橫放在頭頂,以防待會驟雨下落時整人躲避不及的狼狽。23Please respect copyright.PENANAztRiEO2yaq
23Please respect copyright.PENANA7aen4LOT0N
從他走來的那端遠遠傳來雷聲隆隆,聽見這雷鳴,他更是加快腳步往前衝。23Please respect copyright.PENANA3kbl7oWWOe
23Please respect copyright.PENANA66j0fT2iVK
整條街上人煙稀疏,比起平日那種熱絡,今日簡直是冷清至極。23Please respect copyright.PENANAkv6JuTJpPh
23Please respect copyright.PENANAikEnzNvHex
大概是快下雨的緣故吧,他全力奔跑時思考著導致這種情況的原因。23Please respect copyright.PENANAI3TI08Erxm
23Please respect copyright.PENANADaFEYnhtc3
就在經過回家路上必有的診所時,他詫然地回望。23Please respect copyright.PENANAFhCCbbsTsU
23Please respect copyright.PENANAznvOe8ZOAC
「今天診所沒開業啊,真是少有呢。」印象中,不管氣候多劇變,那家診所總是早上九點營業到晚上十點,但今天卻掛出休業中的牌子,而往裡面一瞧,員工當然都已經走光了,唯一有的只是冷冰冰的藍調子,還有緊急照明的綠光。23Please respect copyright.PENANAk6jCinfxmx
23Please respect copyright.PENANAxxiMqvq6MV
到底怎麼了……?還不及深思,迎面來了一位頗眼熟的人,他目眙那人不知不覺停下腳步在原地愣了會。23Please respect copyright.PENANA5krvCicq7f
23Please respect copyright.PENANAPm4XlZRnSj
他往後看去,眼神定定地落在擦身而過的人身上,而那人恰好停步於診所門前。23Please respect copyright.PENANA271lXxYwqz
23Please respect copyright.PENANAct02gVouik
由於天色已黑,看不清那人面容,但整個身形看來似是抬頭凝望什麼,他順著他視線瞧去,是診所門口。23Please respect copyright.PENANAsjBcdnxCKH
23Please respect copyright.PENANAixl2pYa08m
果然是,他了然地笑開。23Please respect copyright.PENANAcQA0SdMiAG
23Please respect copyright.PENANA6StruX0zLE
23Please respect copyright.PENANABuInTeUa17
23Please respect copyright.PENANAhDjfB1jeeS
「這不是志村醫生嗎?怎麼了?您今天戴隱形眼鏡嗎?眼鏡怎麼沒掛在臉上?」他熱情地跑到他背後拍了下去「讓我差點以為你是別人呢!不過,這樣也不錯,給人感覺年輕十幾歲喔!」他耶挪對方地笑道「說起來,您今天怎麼休診?是發生什麼事了嗎……」23Please respect copyright.PENANA3gIzJCuCSy
23Please respect copyright.PENANAMtlUlUCdA9
那人因著他拍擊而回過頭望著他,他偏轉的角度正好在街燈下,藉著微弱的路燈於得以看清他的面貌,但卻使本想繼續閒聊的男人在見到他容貌時張口愕然,提在手裡的公事包也由於這刺激掉落在地上發出沉沉的悶聲,而數秒後他面色慘白驚叫。23Please respect copyright.PENANApTEandSssQ
23Please respect copyright.PENANAKQwC9IheOn
「咦?!你不是醫生?!」感覺自己糗大,男人表情一陣紅一陣白地變換。23Please respect copyright.PENANA9lLjrcVb7N
23Please respect copyright.PENANA4eeoeCLsMd
23Please respect copyright.PENANAHQxbchSCtO
對方是個年輕男子,按五官判斷大約不出二十歲,最多也應是落在二十一、二十二歲左右,他留意到對方身上穿著一件黑色連帽大衣,身旁還突出一把應該是刀劍類的長形物品,足邊則有隻小黑貓親暱地蹭著,不曉得是否他錯看,那貓尾巴好像分岔了?不對,那不是重點,男人用力搖晃自己飄飛的思緒,他這時應該要先向對方道歉,他方才可是誤以為他是熟人而冷不防地拍了他背啊,一般人肯定會生怒吧,要是他,就會。23Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4ype4WTU7
23Please respect copyright.PENANAnhze1sPRNU
「對不起,我認錯人了,所以才拍了你背,真的非常抱歉,請你不要見怪。」他十分慎重地向對方彎腰。23Please respect copyright.PENANA6cmzJc8Y79
23Please respect copyright.PENANALrWdfXx2wL
「沒關係,經常有人錯認。」那人聲音聽來冷冷的,但竟和醫生的嗓音聽來一模一樣。23Please respect copyright.PENANAoJZp2Txp3t
23Please respect copyright.PENANASygExQ5EvF
男人狐疑底抬頭瞅著他,腦裡有什麼思緒正在輪轉。23Please respect copyright.PENANAFamLdYOZXJ
23Please respect copyright.PENANAS8Aj8RdI0c
「……奇怪,我還是覺的你的長相跟醫生簡直是同個模子印出來,這是為什麼呢……?」男人前前後後地看了眼前這個年輕男子,不只臉,連這人的身高也和醫生幾乎一樣「乍看很像……但仔細瞧,你跟醫生還是有些不一樣的地方……」他捱近對方,並用手隔空指出不同「我記得志村醫生的臉上很明顯有三顆痔,在左眼下方有兩個,嘴右下方則有一個。」退了一步,皺眉「但你都沒有……可沒道理長得這麼像啊……」23Please respect copyright.PENANAQMZSn4gWcK
23Please respect copyright.PENANAET1yYDlZDa
「我是……志村醫生的家人。」年輕男子眼神抑鬱地吐露幾字,沒注意到他眼神訊息的男人逕自懷笑。23Please respect copyright.PENANAbUk1JknXri
23Please respect copyright.PENANAK4VIkx9YaV
「我就知道!」猜測應驗,男人欣喜地咧嘴擊掌「不然怎麼可能長得這麼像,又不是什麼都市傳說……」腦裡響起前些日子從鄰居聽到的內容就不禁顫抖,他一向最怕鬼啊靈異啊之類的故事了。23Please respect copyright.PENANAP1HNl06D1m
23Please respect copyright.PENANAwyz6vr9wdJ
「那你是……?」要說是姪子的話以年齡來說也不無可能,兒子的話則是否定,他可沒聽人說過醫生結婚這類消息。23Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1PvE6s8Pi
23Please respect copyright.PENANAZnOfoWyFWJ
「我……是他的兄弟。」23Please respect copyright.PENANAa63mRbjPgk
23Please respect copyright.PENANA2uDexOJNcw
「果然,你應該是弟弟吧。」男人同意自己論點地點頭「畢竟志村醫生年紀不小呢,聽我媽說他快四十歲了。」23Please respect copyright.PENANA7iEEA0znvZ
23Please respect copyright.PENANAopK5z5sYha
「你是不是跟醫生差了十來歲?你看起來這麼年輕,肯定是。」23Please respect copyright.PENANA0AIoXoS2hX
23Please respect copyright.PENANADv9prHxWIr
男人的話讓年輕男子身形一俱,而後頹然地喃喃自語。23Please respect copyright.PENANAmAtzaWu2wZ
23Please respect copyright.PENANAqQHdEk1jO6
「……原來……在外人眼中,我跟你已經有……這麼強烈的差距了嗎……」23Please respect copyright.PENANA2ke7k64QRH
23Please respect copyright.PENANAhpJHrF2Dze
23Please respect copyright.PENANAfqBBmCfrRB
「嗯?你有說話嗎?」23Please respect copyright.PENANA40h9rDaFs6
23Please respect copyright.PENANAJJgmyrkYyA
「沒。」23Please respect copyright.PENANAnvsPg0Bf7m
23Please respect copyright.PENANABeTyDviGkX
「奇怪……」難不成是我聽錯了,不,這怎麼可能,男人眉頭深鎖地咕噥,瞪著面前這位自稱是醫生弟弟的男性,驀然感覺怪異,腦裡就快要浮現什麼訊息。23Please respect copyright.PENANAq7ITgn2K0h
23Please respect copyright.PENANACP08PKoXYB
「我哥他住在哪你知道嗎?」他出聲打斷他思緒,讓他原本就快想起的某件事情一下又化歸於無,他眨眨眼。23Please respect copyright.PENANA4nvDfgeMW2
23Please respect copyright.PENANAmH1BQo6Faz
「你說醫生的住處?當然知道啊,就在我家附近而已,很近,不過從這邊走過有點遠就是囉。咦?你不知道他的住址嗎?」男人疑惑,假如是家人就應該或多或少會知道對方住在哪吧?怎麼還需要問人?23Please respect copyright.PENANAsrK2o831U6
23Please respect copyright.PENANAr0D4s7cD53
「嗯,我們好多年沒見面了。前些日子我突然想起他,就來找他敘舊聊聊一些過往的事情。」23Please respect copyright.PENANA16Njg22rbx
23Please respect copyright.PENANA9BoFfawFs9
「原來是這樣啊……難怪會不曉得。你們感情不好嗎?怎會多年未見?」23Please respect copyright.PENANAtqssgbIgQ6
23Please respect copyright.PENANAABoxvr5x25
「……」23Please respect copyright.PENANAIapNPwXWW7
23Please respect copyright.PENANAtLMCJtlwFu
「啊啊,抱歉,我多嘴了,這是個人隱私對吧,我不問了我不問了。」眼見對方沉默,意識到自己逾越人與人之間相處的界線,他連忙打住自己的問話。接著話鋒一轉,伸手指著另一邊道:23Please respect copyright.PENANAocUEbVsxjJ
23Please respect copyright.PENANAjn42J4WHMx
「你要到你哥家的話,就從這邊走到盡頭左轉到底處,就會看到一棟兩層樓,圍牆外面放有各種花卉盆栽的屋宇就是了。對了,之前那邊綻開許多花非常繽紛呢,不過下雨的關係,花都被打落了,有點可惜哪,明明開的那麼漂亮。」他的口氣明顯落寞許多,似乎是真的相當惋惜那些早凋的花。23Please respect copyright.PENANAXaDlBnfkFo
23Please respect copyright.PENANAlIIT7INL8r
「啊,要是你還是找不到,就看一下門牌吧,還滿容易找的。」23Please respect copyright.PENANA8APXGIc6zs
23Please respect copyright.PENANAtPST72M26P
「謝謝你。」23Please respect copyright.PENANAxvq20F57iI
23Please respect copyright.PENANA2Mg3t64Egl
「別客氣啦,難得醫生的家人來找他,當然要幫忙啊。你見到醫生後記得幫我跟他問聲好,若他問是誰的話,就說是田中太太他兒子,這樣他就明白了。」23Please respect copyright.PENANA8OhJseqbUJ
23Please respect copyright.PENANA7OTSqVT0Kv
年輕男子淺笑,表示懂了,他腳步一轉,按著他所說的方向行去。23Please respect copyright.PENANA7aVazgWBDd

23Please respect copyright.PENANA1sLifg5cPx
23Please respect copyright.PENANAADCfeLCXGF
「對了,」他終於發現那從最先開始就覺得不對勁的細節「我記得媽說過志村醫生沒有任何親人啊?」黑暗、不安的感覺突然朝他襲來「那……剛剛那個人是……?」23Please respect copyright.PENANAuTl6f2CIAV
