「你哋啲態度咁差,要我哋等咁耐,信唔信我投訴你哋?」75Please respect copyright.PENANAvYEtiDQlwS
「唔好意思呀,我哋目前急症搶救緊,同事同醫生忙緊。」75Please respect copyright.PENANA7yNHAbatJC
「咩呀?搶救緊嘅就係命,我隻狗就唔係命,佢成日無食過嘢啦。」75Please respect copyright.PENANAcJcRo7KMxA
「咁唔好意思呀,醫生話唯有取消你個Booking,因為你阻礙到我哋搶救,唔該你去另一間動物醫院。」75Please respect copyright.PENANAcmu6rC2oaS
「我一定投訴你哋。」75Please respect copyright.PENANA9DRR7D3scG
「請便,我哋都會如實講返件事。」75Please respect copyright.PENANAfDPMXkXIiG
抱病上班,還有需要搶救的急症,而且還要應付那些神經病的客人。75Please respect copyright.PENANAevHAsMxHfg
縱使經過反復的CPR,那頭年邁的花貓最終還是等不到主人的到來。75Please respect copyright.PENANAwEvHT6K0oQ
由於去世已有兩小時,屍身開始僵硬,這種情況下偶爾會有眼睛撐開的情況,而我只好花點功夫將眼睛合上,至少看落安祥一點。75Please respect copyright.PENANAjPGei5mSx5
在主人見完牠的最後一面,我麻木地執行著工作流程,剛才的CPR令手指有點痛。75Please respect copyright.PENANAiWCSoYnSQZ
對,動物的CPR與人的稍有不同,由於貓的體型比較小,因此CPR的時候一般會用上手指。75Please respect copyright.PENANAtpsdMtplvQ
將那頭年邁的花貓放進屍袋,然後等待寵物善終的人來將其接走。75Please respect copyright.PENANAApBr1NvDBx
這是我日常的部份。75Please respect copyright.PENANAaVrOZSIiaO
將一切打理乾淨,把衛生程序執行徹底後,我已累得不可開交,加上發燒還未退,四肢已經酸軟得不像屬於自己。75Please respect copyright.PENANA4RUr34YRZG
就這樣靠在鐵籠,頭有點暈眩加上耳鳴,我覺得自己快要不行。75Please respect copyright.PENANAlOdHFQMf5j
突然間,我感覺到手臂有一點涼意。75Please respect copyright.PENANAAY0cirimOV
回眸一看,是冬哥在親著我的手臂。75Please respect copyright.PENANAUOilbgXzcE
就在此時,我聽到診所櫃台那處又發生了一點爭執。75Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8mktLT6ag
或許,動物也會報以感激,而人偏偏比動物更似畜生。75Please respect copyright.PENANAOkq3WM6BLY
眼見時候差不多,我拖著抱病的身軀,領了一包營養餐,借著抽煙的藉口溜了出去。75Please respect copyright.PENANA1UjDa7Mz5a
可是在拐彎位等待的,卻換上了一位中年的婦人。75Please respect copyright.PENANAcjNTiou1mA
那位中年的婦人看著我手中的貓糧,友善地跟我說:「芷凝病咗呀,佢有同我交代過可能診所會有個男仔拎糧畀佢。」75Please respect copyright.PENANA4NUzmNXUSn
沒想過,她竟然也生病了。75Please respect copyright.PENANA2BAoe6aLdc
難道是我傳染了她?75Please respect copyright.PENANANBBFgRKM6k
我點了點頭,將貓糧遞上,那頭三色的母貓見不到Kanna的身影,警戒不已地徐步過來,甚至連進食時也時刻張望周遭。75Please respect copyright.PENANAQKTeIFYAcn
今晚見不到Kanna,顯然有點失落,但得悉她的名字又是一個意外的收獲吧?75Please respect copyright.PENANApRRATF8UYn
但我還是在診所外抽了一根煙,打量著冬夜無人的街道,偶爾只有一兩部私家車駛過,眼簾漸見沉重。75Please respect copyright.PENANAP4j5d40IDe
夜幕垂簾,商販在人來人往的街道擺攤......75Please respect copyright.PENANAj46UEKeFpS
「涼飲桂花茶,先生來一碗嗎?」75Please respect copyright.PENANACR7SnTv6ca
「看相批命,不準不收一錢。」75Please respect copyright.PENANAUhYWrVJubv
打從蒙哥在釣魚城戰死後,蒙古人便撤軍與我們處於對峙的狀態;時至今日,雖然偶有衝突,但對朝廷來說不算陷入戰事。75Please respect copyright.PENANAd74Zdjy2Ro
戰爭仍然是一觸即發,整個國家仍然被蒙古鐵騎的恐懼所籠罩。75Please respect copyright.PENANAxtnEiZa7Zk
只是臨安城的夜,沒想過仍然是熙來攘往、燈火通明,商販在擺攤、人們在吃宵夜、看雜耍、青樓買醉作樂的客人絡繹不絕,看似一片繁榮的盛世,又像現代的不夜城。75Please respect copyright.PENANA18jae5sDpQ
是這裡的人接受現實,今朝有酒今朝醉?75Please respect copyright.PENANAUifR5M8QFK
但只要認真細看,不難看到燈火以外的陰暗,也有一股嗅不出的腐朽,在整座繁榮的臨安城裡飄盪。75Please respect copyright.PENANAAOk5t4mqEQ
城防當值的將士在打瞌睡,有的估計在城樓裡賭錢喝酒,巡邏的官差卻在暗地裡收取錢財,衣錦華服的人享受著夜裡的樂,粗衣麻布的人在忍著睡意地幹活。75Please respect copyright.PENANA7kC8J0dwm8
還有不時傳來的打罵聲,只是被人潮裡不同的聲音所掩蓋。75Please respect copyright.PENANAe3QIPQ8zmm
喧鬧只將暗巷裡穢物,一件又一件地藏起來。75Please respect copyright.PENANAFoC0ZPZKBM
想著想著我看到一處特別宏亮的建築旁的屋簷上,有一抹熟悉的倩影,遠處的輪廓被月色勾劃著,透過月色猜想著那身的打扮,全身淡藍衫子,頭髮上繫上一條髮帶,在夜空間隨風微微飄盪;75Please respect copyright.PENANAh8DfiwPuVT
隔著一條巷的距離,雖看不清她的容貌,但我卻隱隱感受到目光間的凝眸,那是狩獵者等待著獵物的眼神。75Please respect copyright.PENANASIrsQfBOZy
如無意外,這個人的身後應該藏著短刀。75Please respect copyright.PENANAwSxmEhtqRA
如猜想沒錯,即是長著一張熟悉臉龐的那位,在樹林裡設伏的黑衣人。75Please respect copyright.PENANApQLOzu4CnJ
她怎麼會在這?是追殺我而來?還是我一直被她監視?75Please respect copyright.PENANAaOU31PjBOj
獵物?哈......如果膽敢隻身一人前來,在這個情勢下我倒是有點自信。75Please respect copyright.PENANAZpP6I1ZzMP
畢竟這是臨安城,不是賊人們設伏的山野,我有主場的優勢。75Please respect copyright.PENANATl46d6rjBB
「是秦大人嗎?」75Please respect copyright.PENANA8QNHNSjl1u
/75Please respect copyright.PENANAS2pA4jsbKW
「阿布,幫一幫手。」75Please respect copyright.PENANACLeb7qRIQW
突然間,Yuki跑到診所外拍了我的肩膊一下,使我從夢裡醒來。75Please respect copyright.PENANA2Jujzxs3sA
手中握著的那根煙已經燒盡,回到診所又忙碌了一會後,我察覺到自己愈來愈不妥。75Please respect copyright.PENANAVflUiueUuw
發燒加上剛才吹了一點冷風,好像讓感冒的病症惡化。75Please respect copyright.PENANAfkve4wpc9u
於是又到應急藥的藥櫃裡,找了那包特效感冒藥,二話不說吃了兩粒。75Please respect copyright.PENANAmGlB4eqIQY
未幾,視線開始變得模糊,我草草地跟Yuki交代了稍息一會後,步履蹣跚地走進雜物房,臥在紙箱披上毛毯後,合上眼的彈指之間,我的意識又形同墮進深淵。75Please respect copyright.PENANA1xTASG5RJL
回過神來,我變得精神抖擻,只是我又回到那個夢境之中。75Please respect copyright.PENANAVYAxfDNnHl
「是秦大人嗎?」75Please respect copyright.PENANArWUHsW4jha
來人打斷了我的思緒,我還未來得及因眼前出現之人感到訝異之際,視線稍為移回剛才的屋簷,那抹熟悉帶點殺意的身影卻已經消失不見。75Please respect copyright.PENANACR5DicP1Pa
前來接應之人,雖然臉龐是陌生的,包括這裡的一切,雖然驟眼看上不太認識,但我肯定自己曾經見過。75Please respect copyright.PENANAslwYBzQyXj
他怎麼會在這?75Please respect copyright.PENANA5h6S1roShh
「大人,屬下已打點一切。」75Please respect copyright.PENANA7TByq9GGYD
「嗯?」75Please respect copyright.PENANARpGPnnNDYp
他亮出腰間的一塊無字的玉佩,看起來普通得很,但玉佩上的飛虎雕獸卻讓我在意起來。75Please respect copyright.PENANA6y2dPZBwMo
是軍中常見的圖騰。75Please respect copyright.PENANA6A4jP9t8CK
我知道那應該是賈似道口中的無字令牌。75Please respect copyright.PENANAVwrwwPkZ2l
「屬下宿衛營偏將 - 何修文,賈大人已交代屬下好好保護大人。」75Please respect copyright.PENANAGYe1yVw5IV
「好吧。」75Please respect copyright.PENANAaIBzlVlPWh
「前方是玉瓊樓,大人請。」75Please respect copyright.PENANAMojUBA6nB7
他微微一躬,他愈恭敬,我愈提防。75Please respect copyright.PENANAkI1cQZfVFs
玉瓊樓,樓高兩層,外觀纖巧秀麗,裝飾華麗而繁細,牌坊掛在正中央,字體氣派卻秀美;屋簷起翹,窗櫺、樑柱與石座皆有貔貅等靈獸彩繪雕刻。75Please respect copyright.PENANAAqp5yqF9ag
聽說能來此處的人非富則貴,他們都為同一位享負盛名的歌妓而來。75Please respect copyright.PENANAyeYirhRlXz
傳聞這位歌妓不但精湛琴曲,更懂堪輿術數,不使用羅庚卦算之物,單憑著雙眼卻料事皆准,只是千金亦難買其開金口。75Please respect copyright.PENANA87CuoSYOle
共聚半個時辰,已經索要百兩起的高價。75Please respect copyright.PENANAz0ueij7aFj
今晚賈似道給予我的任務,就是從這位藝伎手中要回寶劍。75Please respect copyright.PENANAHidcPguJfK
雖說皇室之物流落煙花之地有失體面,但我總覺得事情並非那麼簡單。75Please respect copyright.PENANALi8l6dSs6i
走進店內,琴曲聲和人們的嬉笑聲迎臉而來,這裡的裝潢和樓底讓我驚嘆起來,這般磅礡的氣勢和繁榮,儼如現代的夜店,只是比較起來清雅得多。75Please respect copyright.PENANAfb9dsq0ycC
何修文跟某位前來的人打個照應,是一位中年男士,看起來十分標悍,與這裡的人顯然地格格不入,接著這個人便跟我說:75Please respect copyright.PENANAeeUBPOVRCg
「我們的念柔姑娘已經在後居等待大人。」75Please respect copyright.PENANA80PRDihmmg
念柔?是該位名歌妓的芳名嗎?75Please respect copyright.PENANAHgO46QC9lL
在這個人引路的路上,我跟何修文交投接耳:75Please respect copyright.PENANAgsfXll2oex
「聽說這位念柔姑娘是有錢也約不上的,怎麼可能......?」75Please respect copyright.PENANAPhgzSlkZR1
「賈太師開口要的,有誰不給?」75Please respect copyright.PENANAzufqlHUnQF
「這倒也是。」75Please respect copyright.PENANAW87bSpkWNv
沒想到在前店酒池肉林般的景況,卻有堂宇皆靜的後園,前後多植花卉,也擺有怪石盤池。75Please respect copyright.PENANAK4ZCuPsXQR
來到一處偏廳門外,引路的人在門外輕叩一下:75Please respect copyright.PENANAEiPaML4pss
「小姐,秦大人來了。」75Please respect copyright.PENANAgmrxQjtRQD
室內的人用上柔弱的聲線說道:75Please respect copyright.PENANAnBKpW28Y1u
「進來吧。」75Please respect copyright.PENANANMmy0CwFh4
何修文跟我打了一個眼色,示意他在外守候著。75Please respect copyright.PENANA7WyvY9mYFn
我不知道他與賈似道私底下有甚麼盤算,但既然一場來到只好步步為營。75Please respect copyright.PENANAL7LRqRlZr6
這座偏廳四角立著木雕的柱子,牆壁都由石磚雕砌而成,窗外的景緻正是後園的怪石盤池。75Please respect copyright.PENANA4mUvfDhhCU
偏廳的中央坐在一位女子,女子身披著一襲淺粉綠的輕紗,一把秀麗的長髮,只掛著一把簡潔的玉髻、雙眸水靈,目光卻淡若如霜,肌膚不添半點脂粉卻堪比白雪,輪廓精緻美奐得令人不禁屏上呼吸,並把視線凝聚在這抹倩影之上。75Please respect copyright.PENANABoiCbkULON
「大人此番前來,應該不是問事,也不是喝酒作樂。」75Please respect copyright.PENANAQkKTfWTmXB
話音剛落,她揚手指著偏廳的右方擺設,是一把看起來威嚴十足的配劍。75Please respect copyright.PENANAiXbKm3ynQ9
「大人是為此物而來,對吧?」75Please respect copyright.PENANAJa6zimzK85
她怎麼會預先知道?75Please respect copyright.PENANAcmoB2ILWi5
難道她真的擁有未卦先知的能力嗎?75Please respect copyright.PENANAsoz95nrF3N
不然的話,她可就真是神通廣大。75Please respect copyright.PENANA1xUfgsce6S
「我對寶劍不感興趣,只是......」75Please respect copyright.PENANAqtz5ByYZAa
「那就是此物把大人喚來。」75Please respect copyright.PENANAy1X2e98AGu
念柔姑娘從席上站來,緩緩地走到配劍前,用上纖幼的雙手提起那把通體湛黑的配劍,銀色的劍格刻著虎紋;在她輕輕拉扯劍首,亮出半截劍身,劍身仍然寒光閃爍,刻紋清晰可見。75Please respect copyright.PENANAaCbW354SRA
「大人,一看無妨吧。」75Please respect copyright.PENANAdX1yimTCmW
我準備伸手握上劍柄之際,意識彷彿在現實和夢境中穿梭。75Please respect copyright.PENANAC8ZiyprUXH
我很清楚,時而在醉瓊樓的偏廳,那時我是秦聶,是夢裡的我;眨眼間,本應在診所的雜物房內昏睡的我,卻在瞬間醒來。75Please respect copyright.PENANA8ex5ogge4j
只是暈眩的感覺,讓我不知自己身處何地,既像在夢裡的玉瓊樓,又像現實中的診所。
然而在意識再度陷進夢裡,從念柔姑娘手中執起配劍。75Please respect copyright.PENANAf3RekLhCVk
然而握起配劍,將劍身從劍鞘掏出的一瞬,有兩股猶如像氣又像電流的觸感,在我身體裡流竄,它們兩者在碰撞、磨擦,最後在身體裡交融。75Please respect copyright.PENANAZd5tphxFlE
那種感覺,就像我完整了。75Please respect copyright.PENANAHzRUqTpcj3
就是這麼簡單的一個感覺和念想。75Please respect copyright.PENANAW6YJVmNLvf
「大人小心。」75Please respect copyright.PENANAduPmeYJ7sn
念柔姑娘的一聲提點,卻來不及被自己的一個失神,五指緩緩鬆開,劍身的峰芒輕輕劃過手心,配劍就這樣佇直插在地上。75Please respect copyright.PENANAThqPAf3yFJ
傷痕雖淺,卻已成血痕。75Please respect copyright.PENANA1KgulndVm7
「大人!」75Please respect copyright.PENANAzoSXfMHIk6
「小姐!」75Please respect copyright.PENANANjG7CAAO88
與此同時,在門外守候的何修文和另一位壯漢聽到異樣,立即衝了進來,並分別走到我倆身旁劍拔弩張。75Please respect copyright.PENANAS1LkzLzbnx
整個偏廳的氣氛頓時變得緊張起來。75Please respect copyright.PENANAB59Du719IS
她說,只要還記得,夢就不止是夢。
