「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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAuEbcUJ9bdh
8Please respect copyright.PENANA7GENGyj05m
「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。8Please respect copyright.PENANA2DnhbAMe6E
8Please respect copyright.PENANA5C8CNsC7ga
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。8Please respect copyright.PENANApidSuZJgow
8Please respect copyright.PENANAyLeLWhZxIi
8Please respect copyright.PENANA6UiNeXmIzQ
「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。 8Please respect copyright.PENANAub00SPJEMe
8Please respect copyright.PENANAsDEqSi8IGs
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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAelKRkOJybw
8Please respect copyright.PENANAIHhMkNOkni
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。8Please respect copyright.PENANATo1RjaYUE9
8Please respect copyright.PENANA0AGLbRvNTx
明明,已十幾年不再想起任何過去和那人一起生活的片段。8Please respect copyright.PENANAY5sPKz1dWE
8Please respect copyright.PENANAAzGTw7fOPz
8Please respect copyright.PENANANR66AY0hb3
8Please respect copyright.PENANAfqp3obmsEz
「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。8Please respect copyright.PENANA7C1Kr8kkOE
8Please respect copyright.PENANAgH3SXywag4
過了幾分後,他才彷彿從中清醒般掉頭望回田中太太。8Please respect copyright.PENANA1a9wOkNwlF
8Please respect copyright.PENANA1Od0pnS5EA
「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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAYT7rN5wDUt
8Please respect copyright.PENANAmeIaa8MnkI
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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAiuMI6VCTLR
8Please respect copyright.PENANAhCm8qmL5vI
「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。8Please respect copyright.PENANABQW19sWrRh
8Please respect copyright.PENANAiaCJuXVcWy
「抱歉喔,瞧我緊張成這樣,一時忘了您的身份。」婦人自嘲地笑。8Please respect copyright.PENANAlj5by3a9ud
8Please respect copyright.PENANAmc0pW2lXZt
「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。」8Please respect copyright.PENANAwg1GfReqZU
8Please respect copyright.PENANAAOIPywlQfa
「原來是這樣啊……」8Please respect copyright.PENANAAaHpnsGe2B
8Please respect copyright.PENANA8gDWAkqofp
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。8Please respect copyright.PENANA7axY7iDGtf
8Please respect copyright.PENANA49OQ4otj6e
「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?」8Please respect copyright.PENANA6hrjODD2TR
8Please respect copyright.PENANAFMRFKWJNib
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。8Please respect copyright.PENANA80kaZQpXit
8Please respect copyright.PENANA3XmGxr0pA1
「這……」8Please respect copyright.PENANAmPxbxC68Ne
8Please respect copyright.PENANArNe9mn5eqC
眼見他面露難色,婦女急切地張口解釋。8Please respect copyright.PENANAmmR9nzrjEx
8Please respect copyright.PENANAoOBPG9ybHH
「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。」8Please respect copyright.PENANAyjKnZ2qC7w
8Please respect copyright.PENANA2GDrlrwQVk
「但……」8Please respect copyright.PENANABhB95eFTXi
8Please respect copyright.PENANAiznSPie3DZ
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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAm32SsOPGVn
8Please respect copyright.PENANASa5mobDYAs
「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。8Please respect copyright.PENANA102FhCea9G
8Please respect copyright.PENANAynZdWo3j6m
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:8Please respect copyright.PENANAsqKxDlmQA5
8Please respect copyright.PENANAQlMuDXE85O
「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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAABaHg5zI5f
8Please respect copyright.PENANAzEshnliGPJ
「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……」8Please respect copyright.PENANAwSQjuw9L9G
8Please respect copyright.PENANAvstYUAHFeK
「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。」8Please respect copyright.PENANAZfCGOFMp2a
8Please respect copyright.PENANADUdteBuuj9
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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAXiM7xKUEfZ
8Please respect copyright.PENANAms0gZ8LK5P
「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。」8Please respect copyright.PENANAEG6pjaSbwN
8Please respect copyright.PENANAGToaSarak0
「嗯,如果真有什麼狀況的話,會跟你們說。非常謝謝妳的好意。」8Please respect copyright.PENANAbDjWINX7Wx
8Please respect copyright.PENANACu46PHpsXa
「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。」8Please respect copyright.PENANAZDQEq6h8m6
8Please respect copyright.PENANA2HTwPWf2pz
「沒關係。啊,感覺要再下雨了,妳也早點回去吧。」8Please respect copyright.PENANAxi4zhzAbdv
8Please respect copyright.PENANArj7aLDK8Df
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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAhoaspXDKqn
8Please respect copyright.PENANAyxl2jiuRaz
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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAbWvw94d1ux
8Please respect copyright.PENANAMm7jN4Gmwd
在結帳處後方牆壁上,長方形電子鐘正顯示著17:05。8Please respect copyright.PENANAQzQ9UXhBBv

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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAlGB2WAOq2e
8Please respect copyright.PENANAQXpVTv37rG
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。8Please respect copyright.PENANADPamw3QK9D
8Please respect copyright.PENANAeT8KL2cdYb
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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAHXKVlIu6r0
8Please respect copyright.PENANAHNUnkF5k7J
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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAAMxYeexSuq
8Please respect copyright.PENANAFnguBEESBg
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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAU2u4lnuVFr
8Please respect copyright.PENANAbkCTwqQX6K
就在經過回家路上必有的診所時,他詫然地回望。8Please respect copyright.PENANAiJFYTC2qvi
8Please respect copyright.PENANAuGc5SYU2JS
「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。8Please respect copyright.PENANA2QnlFwXlk5
8Please respect copyright.PENANAgRO8yrXlvc
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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAMuZKz679QO
8Please respect copyright.PENANA1bc1vb9aqw
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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAiHzaMsOatR
8Please respect copyright.PENANAPXmn71yNQN
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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAovezSrLMwX
8Please respect copyright.PENANAgkUrFCoB8d
果然是,他了然地笑開。8Please respect copyright.PENANAmUnY01UMa4
8Please respect copyright.PENANAcRQoqXFPBY
8Please respect copyright.PENANAjEMIoNyiDE
8Please respect copyright.PENANALCgCrq5M3D
「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……」8Please respect copyright.PENANA2i44WKnKDY
8Please respect copyright.PENANAw800lEI4KB
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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAMwRwdQWdlY
8Please respect copyright.PENANAlfLX19deBq
「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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAV1PKkPWH6Q
8Please respect copyright.PENANAkeGZBLUqO0
8Please respect copyright.PENANAbARv2f4fvC
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。8Please respect copyright.PENANATngL9ifhJN
8Please respect copyright.PENANADYsMhTkGpg
「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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAcrB2YNO2FL
8Please respect copyright.PENANA4EdmiNpfKT
「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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAXr60ITKe5A
8Please respect copyright.PENANAWmY5WakcTb
男人狐疑底抬頭瞅著他,腦裡有什麼思緒正在輪轉。8Please respect copyright.PENANA2zSwVhc8AJ
8Please respect copyright.PENANAADoxZCrt8h
「……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……」8Please respect copyright.PENANA7VIgORY9U0
8Please respect copyright.PENANA9uCHqo9kNv
「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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAcgHdU0z0bK
8Please respect copyright.PENANA8Bg50NbFVq
「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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAeM8TSWBtoa
8Please respect copyright.PENANAOOCelGe1h6
「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。8Please respect copyright.PENANArZTXNVvgkV
8Please respect copyright.PENANAY26xt7TQMn
「我……是他的兄弟。」8Please respect copyright.PENANAGn99asCkmI
8Please respect copyright.PENANARBPWRvYgPN
「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。」8Please respect copyright.PENANAy8ak9ek6j6
8Please respect copyright.PENANAdQCBNN1wPB
「你是不是跟醫生差了十來歲?你看起來這麼年輕,肯定是。」8Please respect copyright.PENANAEHYQMNX5Mf
8Please respect copyright.PENANA9uK7317sOc
男人的話讓年輕男子身形一俱,而後頹然地喃喃自語。8Please respect copyright.PENANAKg9Iy6qR5s
8Please respect copyright.PENANALlcPINW4Iu
「……原來……在外人眼中,我跟你已經有……這麼強烈的差距了嗎……」8Please respect copyright.PENANAuGlpZU99GQ
8Please respect copyright.PENANAelHO2zHJHV
8Please respect copyright.PENANAeO5VFPum4y
「嗯?你有說話嗎?」8Please respect copyright.PENANAfcHhLw13np
8Please respect copyright.PENANABpiRlBKAe7
「沒。」8Please respect copyright.PENANA6Q0gpt1mAT
8Please respect copyright.PENANAEBlvnYtBwN
「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。8Please respect copyright.PENANA0hy36PiKjr
8Please respect copyright.PENANAjtZGTXheyp
「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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAldQVcXyz3C
8Please respect copyright.PENANAfaKxJOLAnL
「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?8Please respect copyright.PENANACHDMWAFl9u
8Please respect copyright.PENANADFAJEpZuf1
「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。」8Please respect copyright.PENANAdnE5hoC9w3
8Please respect copyright.PENANAdkeSMRW5Om
「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?」8Please respect copyright.PENANAkhhEEfBcQr
8Please respect copyright.PENANANmV4sMMkfJ
「……」8Please respect copyright.PENANAqLXY3BgN5K
8Please respect copyright.PENANAkPgN8XZPA7
「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:8Please respect copyright.PENANATmtlZWsE0j
8Please respect copyright.PENANAKPOyFIHlQ9
「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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAVYFusOStgT
8Please respect copyright.PENANAu610yo8AVt
「啊,要是你還是找不到,就看一下門牌吧,還滿容易找的。」8Please respect copyright.PENANAADV1gQJiVf
8Please respect copyright.PENANAfa4LDAvQ5x
「謝謝你。」8Please respect copyright.PENANAiUJtgWJAS2
8Please respect copyright.PENANAwgXadIgXBi
「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。」8Please respect copyright.PENANAQTQYGbiB8J
8Please respect copyright.PENANAm4vDYUawB7
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。8Please respect copyright.PENANAQQLti5ITRl

男人站在原地看著他漸隱背影,同時看見那貓輕巧地攀爬到他肩上,尾巴一左一右擺盪。8Please respect copyright.PENANAG4UybQX8Rl

一道雷從天邊降下,落到他身後,瞬間擊出白光,伴隨著震耳欲聾的聲響,而空氣裡慢慢地飄起細碎小雨。8Please respect copyright.PENANAjn4ejLq6Sb
8Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2xnQPcV77
8Please respect copyright.PENANAZJ4PVTFzhw
「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……?」8Please respect copyright.PENANAdp9pC71nIT
8Please respect copyright.PENANA7vlHBFAaa4
