周怡蓁剛把備用鑰匙插進鎖孔,就聽見裡面傳來小孩的哭鬧聲,和一陣敲擊木魚的聲音。
不知道家裡是一幅怎樣的慘況,她有一瞬間想把鑰匙拔出來,假裝自己沒來過。
而當她打開門踏進玄關那一刻,忽地聽見身後鄰居阿姨家傳來狗吠聲,與幼童叫嚷的聲音交織在一起。
一切的一切都讓她倍感荒謬,卻又意料之中。
「你這小孩怎麼看到什麼都想吃啊!」齊尚澧抓狂道。
小女孩手裡拿著木魚在敲,可能是越看這個圓圓的木製品越像魚,忍不住想咬一口,抓起木魚就張大嘴巴咬下去,齊尚澧慌張地伸手去搶。
虎口奪食豈是那麼容易的?他的手背上又多了好幾枚牙印。
被咬就算了,木魚還沒搶回來。
周怡蓁站在玄關口欣賞這幅世界名畫,不禁感嘆她的病人真的是病情穩定很多,他身上那股行屍走肉的氣息完全消失了。
整個人鮮活不少。
活跳跳的,像剛從海裡撈上來的蝦子。
這樣一想,她又餓了,剛剛那頓生日餐根本沒吃多少。
「好想吃蝦子喔。」她雙手交叉在胸前,姿態閒適地靠在牆邊。
「蝦子!」小女孩捕捉到關鍵字,猛然鬆嘴,木魚落到齊尚澧手中,她轉頭看向周怡蓁,雙眼放光地衝到她面前:「我也想吃蝦子!」87Please respect copyright.PENANAefA2mfOnHy
87Please respect copyright.PENANADM8PlzLjGS
「你想吃幾隻?」周怡蓁蹲下身子,視線與小女孩齊平,動作熟練的從口袋裡抽出手帕,把她臉上的口水擦掉,又把她的手指一根一根擦乾淨。87Please respect copyright.PENANA2G42VnMwEj
87Please respect copyright.PENANAkEHhHlmCXc
「一百隻!」小女孩興奮道。87Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ7b3ppDZ9
87Please respect copyright.PENANA5BbQ3oEZSP
「一百隻?那你還吃得下飯後甜點嗎?我想做水果蛋塔,你想吃嗎?」周怡蓁一邊用對話分散小孩子的注意力,一邊把她轉過來,解開亂糟糟的辮子,重新編成兩條整齊可愛的雙馬尾。87Please respect copyright.PENANASo6pw4DrkT

「我叫恬恬!」87Please respect copyright.PENANAAOlXtlQ0TT
87Please respect copyright.PENANAabFojTXrAF
短短幾句對話的時間,周怡蓁就把小女孩整理得乾乾淨淨,露出她白白胖胖的小臉蛋,元氣可愛得很。87Please respect copyright.PENANA7v0lPQtRtU
87Please respect copyright.PENANAzRVLBh7hi5
齊尚澧手捧木魚,目瞪口呆地看著相處和睦的一大一小。87Please respect copyright.PENANAuV7psCCQpI
87Please respect copyright.PENANAYwto0TS0nT
「沒事在家裡放什麼木魚啊?」周怡蓁把小女孩抱起來,抬頭看到那個木魚,滿臉嫌棄道。87Please respect copyright.PENANA4bQgvHrqyq
87Please respect copyright.PENANAxCu0v2FINB
「就……我之前可能氣色太差,對面李阿姨想說我家是不是有什麼不乾淨的東西,她就找一個師父來,叫我每天敲。」87Please respect copyright.PENANATfiJli7eF8
87Please respect copyright.PENANAcXwiAZc0zs
「木魚該不會是買的吧?」87Please respect copyright.PENANAGw9YxoV2zN
87Please respect copyright.PENANA6F92kk6PPU
齊尚澧點頭。87Please respect copyright.PENANATmtrK7GG8f

87Please respect copyright.PENANAwew6QfdLAk
周怡蓁瞪大眼睛:「什麼啊那是木魚,不是黑鮪魚欸,神棍!我本來想叫你丟掉,結果我現在說不出口了。」87Please respect copyright.PENANA2BbyfJBbjC
87Please respect copyright.PENANAZNnz4aNaKq
齊尚澧倒是很乾脆地把沾滿口水的木魚塞進垃圾袋裡。87Please respect copyright.PENANAECl40Hgd30
87Please respect copyright.PENANAuAbPWo0oaL
周怡蓁抱著恬恬走到冰箱前,拿出一盒切好的蘋果,她打算先拿點東西填這個小朋友的嘴,不然她什麼都敢吃,太危險了。87Please respect copyright.PENANAlLOjSrDKVu
87Please respect copyright.PENANA10vXL6YGtd
「小孩我來顧,你去買菜,順便散步。」周怡蓁對剛洗完手,從廚房出來的齊尚澧說道。87Please respect copyright.PENANABgaUvUw43n
87Please respect copyright.PENANATmf4lgku71
「要買什麼?」87Please respect copyright.PENANAYVRz4Yia0Q
87Please respect copyright.PENANASsfjd3pP4W
「我寫一張單子給你。」87Please respect copyright.PENANAss8aj8wfqJ
87Please respect copyright.PENANA9xz6Jk74lw
齊尚澧拿著單子走到門口,又折回來問:「老鼠肉?能吃嗎?」87Please respect copyright.PENANAtE65z9jNbS
87Please respect copyright.PENANA2TePHBrv1Y
「那是豬肉的一個部位,你去菜市場問老闆就知道了啦!」周怡蓁朝他翻了個白眼。87Please respect copyright.PENANAQLdP40JW9H
87Please respect copyright.PENANAsNfLSyL4y7
見他將信將疑的樣子,周怡蓁嘆口氣:「是真的,我沒必要連這個也騙你吧,你敢買真的老鼠回來,我還不敢煮咧。」87Please respect copyright.PENANAstsXnRN5qt
87Please respect copyright.PENANABKVj6otsuj
她懷裡的恬恬則奶聲奶氣道:「老鼠的肉好吃嗎?這麼小怎麼吃啊?」87Please respect copyright.PENANAOMV1W4LpXd
