「靜文!」志峰趕在她走遠前叫住她,來不及琢磨此時自己該帶著怎樣的表情。23Please respect copyright.PENANAmk6MfZIPAo

那女孩震了一下,緩緩轉過身子,臉上的呆滯和志峰如出一轍。23Please respect copyright.PENANArVSAIYQh7m

志峰從衛生冰店的騎樓走出來,一路想著該說些什麼,但一直走到她面前,嘴邊還是沒有半句話。23Please respect copyright.PENANAHuR7nLrWZp
23Please respect copyright.PENANAuDCo7NpO6g
23Please respect copyright.PENANAz78wjFzbNy
「謝謝!」她倒是先開口了,看到志峰愣了一下,她解釋:「你還願意這樣叫我。」口氣半像肯定又半像疑問。23Please respect copyright.PENANAffe0CWqAJU
23Please respect copyright.PENANA6ayASj56zB
23Please respect copyright.PENANA2MRFO5sk5v
志峰也不知道是要說「是」還是「不是」,把她當做靜文是萬萬不可能,但他在心裡確實還是叫她「靜文」。最後只好不理會這句話,直接問:「妳是要去哪啊?」23Please respect copyright.PENANAswmtOAkMWG
23Please respect copyright.PENANABpwk9YKuy3
23Please respect copyright.PENANADG2eW39kna
靜文笑了,那是個心滿意足的笑容,志峰看癡了,心裡卻更是忿怒,為了這個不是靜文的她如此動人,也為了自己竟然這樣就心神不寧。23Please respect copyright.PENANA7U0FLJTBdV

「要去簽約了!」她開心地說,「免訂金,但吳先生在餐廳開始經營前會負責房子的維修。」她突然沉默了,所以兩人呆呆地對看了一會兒,然後她移開視線,一輛輛路過的車窗反光讓她瞇起眼睛,「傍晚,就會結束了!」23Please respect copyright.PENANAyc2fwg45xs
23Please respect copyright.PENANAwjFEimMtGy
23Please respect copyright.PENANAhCSSUXHlQS
志峰在心中計算自己有多少時間,應該不超過一個半小時,但已經綽綽有餘了,等到靜文走後,他馬上拐進許家的巷子,小巷裡一如往常地四下無人,在八月黏膩悶熱的下午四點,家家戶戶都緊閉著門窗吹冷氣。23Please respect copyright.PENANAKwOWNc3tUO

自從那天和胡明哲見面後,近一個禮拜來等的就是這個時候,他放下背包,拿出胡明哲給他的四個小布包,胡明哲問過他想不想知道這個東西的化學原理,不過他一口回絕了!現在他惟一知道的是:他必須趁靜文還沒回來前,把它們放在許家外牆的四個方位,好讓她再也踏不進大門。23Please respect copyright.PENANAsERFvhetlg
23Please respect copyright.PENANAi7QrkuqTt6
23Please respect copyright.PENANAEuQCBwatBi
在指北針的幫助下,這項工作還是花了一點時間,因為有幾個方位的地形不是很好接近,而且還得隨時注意路人,不過準備工作還是在一小時內順利完成,然後志峰就在附近找了個可以望到門口的防火巷,靜靜等她回來。23Please respect copyright.PENANAPivodP92Q4
23Please respect copyright.PENANAJcRsY3KJul
23Please respect copyright.PENANAysS6SmDfyv
背包裡還有一個礦泉水瓶,雖然看起來也是透明的液體,不過志峰依然拒絕知道它的真正成份,只知道這可以消弱妖的力量,只是需要的量比較大,要出其不意才不會失手,另外還有一把桃木劍,根據胡明哲的說法,這些是最不需要技術的除魔道具,先經過那瓶有很長的本名的符水後,只要空揮就能把妖暫時嚇走,不然往四肢攻擊也能讓它知難而退,接著只要連續四十九天,每天更換新的布包,就能一勞永逸了!為什麼是四十九天的原理似乎和化學無關,胡明哲提到試煉,不過志峰還是沒興趣知道。23Please respect copyright.PENANAsGwXgYcha1
23Please respect copyright.PENANAlWu22vmVVY
23Please respect copyright.PENANANvEYeW18pb
桃木劍還有最後一手,那也是胡明哲教他的惟一一項技巧──怎麼快、狠、準地刺向妖的核心,能在緊急時派上用場。這幾天來志峰早上在街口等靜文出門,晚上就練習這招,雖然不能在短時間內抓到訣竅,但至少能讓他在攻擊時雖不中亦不遠矣!23Please respect copyright.PENANAUMgD4wq0cy

「張大哥?」從外頭回來的輝文無意一瞥,出聲叫他。23Please respect copyright.PENANAeKRbhhoVAV

23Please respect copyright.PENANAvTWQmyw5ex
太陽已經傾斜,也不像剛才那麼熱,眼看靜文隨時都會回來,志峰不想節外生枝,含糊地應了一聲,但輝文越靠越近,看起來有點狐疑,志峰連忙把手中的劍丟到腳後,但這個動作反而引起輝文注意。23Please respect copyright.PENANAIvTMT68UxY
23Please respect copyright.PENANAoG9hRakYfU
23Please respect copyright.PENANAAEljbrEode
「那是什麼?」輝文傾身想去看,重心稍微右移,志峰根本想不到什麼理由阻止,硬是用身體擋住他的視線,輝文沒料到志峰會往他面前擠,急著想後退時受過傷的右腳使不上力,一個不穩便倒了下去,這一跌反倒讓他從志峰的兩腿間看到藏在後面的桃木劍。23Please respect copyright.PENANAgJ5iTcjFVW
23Please respect copyright.PENANAVCxHKx9ooc

23Please respect copyright.PENANAZNw7xhG3vE
23Please respect copyright.PENANA1YbxZA2Sy9
志峰一聽到那兩字火氣就上來了,大吼道:「你還叫那個東西『姊姊』?」23Please respect copyright.PENANAmzPJdcdUxD
23Please respect copyright.PENANAkd5Sr6QmRz
23Please respect copyright.PENANACwx71FdQTk
話一出口他就後悔了!不過輝文沒有如他想的那般被嚇到,反而很平靜地回答:「我需要有個稱呼她的方式,其他稱呼也不會比較適合。」23Please respect copyright.PENANAale2DL8qVa
23Please respect copyright.PENANAk6HpTRKhP5
23Please respect copyright.PENANA4HPgDfpKcf
志峰滿肚子火卻無法反駁,輝文又說:「我不知道你究竟在煩躁什麼?她不會永遠留在這裡的,最多到她能親眼看到餐廳的事一切順利。」23Please respect copyright.PENANA7Lg5eCwsLo

第一次發現,原來輝文有著和祺文一樣的眼神,只是他總是用世故的表情遮掩。現在他不帶感情的陳述,讓志峰心中一震,他突然覺得口乾舌燥:「就憑我……」23Please respect copyright.PENANAt7i7wL9L4o

「姊姊!」在輝文開口的同時,志峰拿起保特瓶,原本是打算趁她不得其門而入時攻擊的,現在也只能走一步算一步,他用沒有人來得及理解發生了什麼事的速度打開保特瓶,只是當整罐水往前潑時,輝文卻撲了上來,結果輝文全身濕透,靜文卻毫髮未傷。23Please respect copyright.PENANA7CeCHlLxfc

「你在做什麼?」志峰大叫,懊惱著接下來該如何收拾,實行至此,根本沒一件事是按照計畫來的。23Please respect copyright.PENANAlkKc1LzUQk

靜文拍拍輝文的肩膀,把他往旁邊拉,自己收起陽傘,走進巷子裡,陽光在她身後,看不清她的臉,只見曼妙的輪廓越靠越近,到不足一個劍身的距離,志峰心念一動,然後劍便已經貫穿她的形體,正是他一個禮拜來練了不下兩百次的那一式。23Please respect copyright.PENANA9tXS2VoTA4
23Please respect copyright.PENANAKlyYpfuDQe
23Please respect copyright.PENANARv2Z2Ajj9s
她往後倒時才能由夕陽讀出她的表情,不只有哀傷,也不只有歉意,下一秒輝文就衝上來,但他沒接住,雙膝一軟,兩人一起落地,靜文就枕在輝文的腿上。23Please respect copyright.PENANANqy5Xf1wy4
23Please respect copyright.PENANASiPMJBciSv
23Please respect copyright.PENANAz9bY02qfgK
「這……妳……」輝文搖晃著她的軀體,就好像一推就散的沙堡,傷口沒流出半點血來,只是她的影子越來越淡,輪廓漸漸扭曲、模糊,志峰知道自己成功了,一劍穿心。23Please respect copyright.PENANAAas958z0PH
23Please respect copyright.PENANA8rCrOBzxQK
23Please respect copyright.PENANAB4VCktDeDp
靜文好像說了些什麼,輝文側耳細聽,然後在她要消失的前一瞬間,志峰看到那雙近乎無色的眼睛望著他,嘴脣掀動,但聽不見她的聲音,接著輝文腿上就只剩下那件白襯衫,沒有半點曾經存在的痕跡。23Please respect copyright.PENANAlhsPY89qwP

輝文撿起落在一旁的手提包,翻出那份租屋契約,翻了一翻,「全都弄好了!」他喃喃說,然後扶著牆璧站起來,衝著志峰就是一拳,不過志峰比他快多了!半途就攔住他的右手,輝文力氣比不過人,只得放下手,忿忿地瞪著志峰。23Please respect copyright.PENANAqtGcpioEA2
23Please respect copyright.PENANAgAh7ehtBA2
23Please respect copyright.PENANAH88W3qIFJD
「你怎麼會值得她到最後還跟你道歉?你到底知不知道自己幹了什麼?」輝文質問,「她為了我們家努力了那麼久!你是看得最多的人吧?她完成了姊姊死前牽掛的事……」23Please respect copyright.PENANAV70cSmwU7F
23Please respect copyright.PENANAH3ucrRBjpF
23Please respect copyright.PENANAWFUgoLLVja
「你說什麼?」志峰打斷。23Please respect copyright.PENANAB6kmvnzDwZ
23Please respect copyright.PENANA0r7enNzmYw
23Please respect copyright.PENANA3aHDzaR6Ns
「沒錯!」輝文的口氣近似報復,「要不是那天姊姊摔下高架橋時,正好遇上在尋找可以偽裝的對象的她,那麼現在姊姊的喪期早過了!而我們還是在過不知道能支撐到什麼時候的日子。」23Please respect copyright.PENANA2b2Py03xZk
23Please respect copyright.PENANAF09t7OkMNj
23Please respect copyright.PENANACS6fXbxql0
也許是看志峰呆住了,輝文緩了緩語氣:「那天晚上,她就全部告訴我了,她本來要走,是我把她留下來的,她當然不是姊姊,一點都不一樣!也正因為如此,才更顯得她努力對待我們。」輝文垂下頭,不再說下去,他把契約書小心收好,然後說:「地上這些都交給你處理吧!」23Please respect copyright.PENANALa8swXBMD9
23Please respect copyright.PENANAIYvMF4GVej
23Please respect copyright.PENANAO0gKwqxyKl
志峰詫異地抬頭,輝文嘆了口氣:「總得等到讓大家分不清真正的死亡時間才能『找到』姊姊的遺體啊!現在對其他人而言,姊姊只能是暫時失蹤了!」23Please respect copyright.PENANAY3R2JH9yEg

那天晚上阿嬤接到杏蘭阿姨的電話,對於靜文的行蹤,志峰只應了一句「不知道」。23Please respect copyright.PENANAaTy5EikcDf

23Please respect copyright.PENANAItARkEh1NS
夜裡,他和衣倒在雙人床上,沒有大事已就的滿足,或許應該出現的悲傷似乎還在遠方,只有一種無端的低落,他試著想體認靜文已不在的事實,但這就像曾經照著倆人的陽光在此時一樣虛幻,他們總是在陽光下的,從童年的午後到這個夏天,還有照進冰店前騎樓的那片熱度,他開始愛上靜文的下午三點。23Please respect copyright.PENANAIUNZerJu0Z
23Please respect copyright.PENANATxxcz88keB
23Please respect copyright.PENANAMlsyP3U2eE
突然,他感到有點不對勁,到床下翻出靜文的手提包,記得她的記事本裡有寫農曆日期,今年的中元節是八月中,志峰在心中往前推算颱風的日期,他是在七月底回阿嬤家的,颱風前兩個星期,在颱風之前,他們已經有半年不曾說上話。23Please respect copyright.PENANAoXCEpju729
23Please respect copyright.PENANAVqV1kjaglE
23Please respect copyright.PENANAF0MU5YP5Be
記事本中掉下一張紙,志峰把它攤開來看,上面小小的字整齊地寫著:23Please respect copyright.PENANAzhrPS0tcnE

我只見過靜文一面,在她過世的那一瞬間,那時我正在找尋化身的對象,這是加入它們的條件。在我化成她的形貌,暫時隱藏她的遺體後,我卻不知道何去何從,我必須在渡過四十九個日出前不被發現,才算完成試煉,但若不是在她原本的生活圈內,這就沒有意義。直到你在高架橋上出現。23Please respect copyright.PENANA1ONdrv7DZg
23Please respect copyright.PENANAcwEVmu6jfK
23Please respect copyright.PENANAtlbQsq70mC
我想我從來就是不知何去何從的,有一天我就這麼出現了!不知道哪一天我可能也會就這麼消失,在那之間的漫漫時光,自由自在就是毫無目標。所以當我遇見它們時,會那麼迫切地想加入,在與我相同的存在間,我想那會是我的歸屬。23Please respect copyright.PENANAgnKwXPZomj

23Please respect copyright.PENANA8EEgx27y14
一開始是最困難的,因為完全不知道背景資料,所以我最喜歡和你在一起,你總是靜靜的,不說話,但讓人安心。慢慢地,我認識了許家所有人,他們的生活、他們重視的事物、他們的夢想、他們的煩惱……23Please respect copyright.PENANA5JiPfclnbJ

老家是我們共同的祈願,它是杏蘭姑姑見識往日風華的僅存證明,是輝文心中的認同與責任,是祺文因為沒有保障而用理性去否定的夢;只有祥貞不是在這裡長大的,她總是憂心忡忡地看著母親的執著。23Please respect copyright.PENANAzecGOpPec0
23Please respect copyright.PENANAU0Q3I9Gb11
23Please respect copyright.PENANAdyesYuYBFs
來到靜文的生活中讓我了解什麼是「認同」,用我的努力保住這個家真的讓我很快樂,面對靜文,這一點我能問心無愧。被你發現後,我的試煉算是失敗了,但我不想就這麼離開,事情還沒底定前我不能放心。23Please respect copyright.PENANAkJALRMe5Vk

23Please respect copyright.PENANA3gr5IMeBzn
輝文曾經挽留我,希望我能至少看到餐廳開始營業,說沒有不捨是騙人的,但我已經答應了你,其實僅僅是這一個月的美好已經讓我心滿意足,我已經不敢奢求原本就不屬於我的東西。23Please respect copyright.PENANA5zWO7HrQ65

此時,悲傷與現實終於失去了距離,這一天,志峰同時失去了生命前十年最好的朋友與這個夏天他深愛的女孩。ns 15.158.61.20da2
