明教青年從痛中清醒。76Please respect copyright.PENANAvNugxiOTH4
甫張眼就瞧見妹妹躺在身邊,身上蓋著不知名服飾,有名丐幫弟子則在廢棄的磚瓦爐灶生火、煮水,並忽地轉身走向自己。青年心底泛起恐慌,強忍傷口撕扯之感,爬起身撲到少女面前、對眼前男人目露凶光。76Please respect copyright.PENANAdEUK4ckbkj
剛轉頭就看見此等畫面,林戎忍住拿出酒壺的衝動,因為他知曉那並非針對他的殺意,而是要守護身後人之決絕。76Please respect copyright.PENANA0eH7IONRms
「欸欸,別怕啊,我沒對你們做甚麼。」76Please respect copyright.PENANAn5qCXaORsv
他搖頭放下水盆,拿起掛在手臂上染血的布塊,又指自己腰間,這時青年似乎才發現腹部的傷口已經被處理過,甚是被綁好繃帶,本尖銳的敵意逐漸散去、化為困惑。76Please respect copyright.PENANAyYi9VV5OAq
見其轉變,林戎長舒口氣,再次開口:「先說好,一來我聽不懂你們在講甚麼,二來我也沒打算和你們建立甚麼情誼。」76Please respect copyright.PENANAVHkn6eQyAg
說到此,男人聲音逐漸低沉。76Please respect copyright.PENANAt63mXy5PBn
「純粹是不希望你們⋯⋯無辜死去。」76Please respect copyright.PENANAF2FOlzGnSt
他握緊沾染鮮紅的白布。76Please respect copyright.PENANAMrb1Jivuv8
頓時懷疑何時自己竟也能說出如此虛偽又可笑的謊言。76Please respect copyright.PENANA8ffo1bSlb4
「等你們可以動了就走吧。」76Please respect copyright.PENANAiWzPDSg5p8
語畢,林戎本打算丟下兩人就此離開,把這全數當作命中偶然的萍水相逢。76Please respect copyright.PENANAlkiQ4q5cjP
照理來說應該如此。76Please respect copyright.PENANA6g6ItUUZGQ
林秀以為弟弟應該替明教弟子療傷後就會離開,卻久久不見其身影,便以隨林戎追趕敵人為由安頓好丐幫內部,即趁著夜色偷偷回到藏身處。76Please respect copyright.PENANAHKT5c4fsJK
但她完全無料想到竟是滿室祥和。76Please respect copyright.PENANAXN5uFjA16k
眼前明教少女已經清醒,抱著揉成團狀的衣物坐在桌畔,卻未見青年蹤跡,倒是林戎懷裡多了隻小貓,其身上毛斑與聖火紋相同。76Please respect copyright.PENANAIFKPJ9juUS
「這是怎麼回事?」76Please respect copyright.PENANA9AXwi2zDvC
女人相當不解。76Please respect copyright.PENANAGBb5aRzzFB
「阿姊!妳終於來了。」早就把甚麼敵對拋在腦後,林戎大笑起來,抱起貓像獻寶似地舉到姊姊面前。「你看他們,聖火教弟子竟會此等法術!真有趣!」76Please respect copyright.PENANA6sBUkEKXZ7
原來是明教青年變成的白貓,的確有耳聞明教中的確有此等術師。76Please respect copyright.PENANATn2P6jns4m
「⋯⋯能親眼目睹聖火弟子的化型之術,也算是三生有幸。」林秀講完直接走到林戎面前,巴掌拍在他頭頂輕罵:「人家還帶傷,不要拿來拿去!」76Please respect copyright.PENANAzB6attP8O3
「喔⋯⋯抱歉。」76Please respect copyright.PENANAv8MKjzUXUX
收起玩興,林戎連忙彎腰、小心將貓咪放回地板。76Please respect copyright.PENANAKF9zZ3e3Sp
貓緩緩化回人形,原本縮在木桌後的明教少女立即躲到其身後,只露出一雙晶亮眸子盯著林秀,抱緊懷中的布料,她立即認出那是自己拿來幫其止血的外襟。76Please respect copyright.PENANAM9QFcmK5yW
霎時,兩人目光恰巧對上,那純粹的眼神看得林秀竟有些難以直視,趕忙撇頭。76Please respect copyright.PENANAE61WCDtuLm
「你們叫甚麼?」她嘗試與其溝通。76Please respect copyright.PENANABImHg0wcmD
明教青年似乎能聽懂林秀所說,卻不會講,努力發出近乎漢語的音串,讓女人花了點時間才搞懂他們倆之名。76Please respect copyright.PENANAwwlPPPHBDe
「涅烏帕爾。」她先指向青年,再指向少女。「柔蘭。」76Please respect copyright.PENANADSHToPtn1g
兩人聽見自己熟悉的名字,皆神情亮起,竟露出笑點頭。那笑容相當有感染力,使林秀和林戎亦忍不住揚起嘴角,分別自報姓名。76Please respect copyright.PENANA46NnUH8LG2
而在聽到他們稱呼後,涅烏帕爾和柔蘭互望,彼此頷首後開口呼喚:
「秀秀!戎戎!」76Please respect copyright.PENANAsZDVcVzcMy
帶著尾韻的發音讓林氏姊弟內心震顫不已。76Please respect copyright.PENANAIt5H28wFi5
這竟是敵人呼喚他們的方式。76Please respect copyright.PENANAdhbklAowvb
敵人。76Please respect copyright.PENANAPK0t04Bdem
