「你哋啲態度咁差,要我哋等咁耐,信唔信我投訴你哋?」64Please respect copyright.PENANAoumReResLx
「唔好意思呀,我哋目前急症搶救緊,同事同醫生忙緊。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAM10JJBZBBp
「咩呀?搶救緊嘅就係命,我隻狗就唔係命,佢成日無食過嘢啦。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAf9MAt3Kdzv
「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。」64Please respect copyright.PENANALHsRbW6I4P
「我一定投訴你哋。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAUe8rSRkydy
「請便,我哋都會如實講返件事。」64Please respect copyright.PENANArHNNftby3v
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANABpWclSQjdK
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAV4LG3JvSCn
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAPyJDeRSVu3
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAW2HWPckzzM
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAkA6tHWBQfv
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAe1sEJCDPxS
這是我日常的部份。64Please respect copyright.PENANAhQGutCQlX0
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAkA9NGelLLG
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAomLoJD3xeC
突然間,我感覺到手臂有一點涼意。64Please respect copyright.PENANA12ZKwgpVUn
回眸一看,是冬哥在親著我的手臂。64Please respect copyright.PENANA4iojhMv7NX
就在此時,我聽到診所櫃台那處又發生了一點爭執。64Please respect copyright.PENANAdEwqn1jfG0
或許,動物也會報以感激,而人偏偏比動物更似畜生。64Please respect copyright.PENANArfoNRs1hQE
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANALOJaM2KPQm
可是在拐彎位等待的,卻換上了一位中年的婦人。64Please respect copyright.PENANAv28OUpVbUD
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。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAB5yVYZcW61
沒想過,她竟然也生病了。64Please respect copyright.PENANAU2ER0TvkM1
難道是我傳染了她?64Please respect copyright.PENANAgvFxC483K0
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAxjoV1cTtDX
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?64Please respect copyright.PENANALmUyRCkfe1
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANA46i4pjW3pD
夜幕垂簾,商販在人來人往的街道擺攤......64Please respect copyright.PENANAjfc1TWg3aw
「涼飲桂花茶,先生來一碗嗎?」64Please respect copyright.PENANAYKjBLtUrj9
「看相批命,不準不收一錢。」64Please respect copyright.PENANA9KZoGRNvYt
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAjVAShUsJ9u
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAkfGxryXH7w
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAohwx8guhWO
是這裡的人接受現實,今朝有酒今朝醉?64Please respect copyright.PENANAXbJKu6Kxq8
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAIz6l0TF4lC
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAVN6WNTudVa
還有不時傳來的打罵聲,只是被人潮裡不同的聲音所掩蓋。64Please respect copyright.PENANAdWCIhwUWrc
喧鬧只將暗巷裡穢物,一件又一件地藏起來。64Please respect copyright.PENANAOzRxhLNBFI
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;64Please respect copyright.PENANAd3lNcRc71G
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAI9RtproT7T
如無意外,這個人的身後應該藏著短刀。64Please respect copyright.PENANAXW4MyfwWXz
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANA0541SIik04
她怎麼會在這?是追殺我而來?還是我一直被她監視?64Please respect copyright.PENANA2L4RCNDIef
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANALmXyb3CYAV
畢竟這是臨安城,不是賊人們設伏的山野,我有主場的優勢。64Please respect copyright.PENANA63qoMItiuW
「是秦大人嗎?」64Please respect copyright.PENANAGTV5odhiY7
/64Please respect copyright.PENANAdTdXbi1Lv7
「阿布,幫一幫手。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAqhmqeHo8HI
突然間,Yuki跑到診所外拍了我的肩膊一下,使我從夢裡醒來。64Please respect copyright.PENANAUuIOeWT4Sw
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAceWUbdUEMD
發燒加上剛才吹了一點冷風,好像讓感冒的病症惡化。64Please respect copyright.PENANAy0KzFMZw6P
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANA0jgONPGsBq
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAlGxtScaO1N
回過神來,我變得精神抖擻,只是我又回到那個夢境之中。64Please respect copyright.PENANAHnLCJ8Jfi9
「是秦大人嗎?」64Please respect copyright.PENANAM8okULKFxw
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAK2X3S5TkLI
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANA41TSDZzytI
他怎麼會在這?64Please respect copyright.PENANAmvsGdUdusU
「大人,屬下已打點一切。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAsT2hApoysU
「嗯?」64Please respect copyright.PENANAJu9tfMVw4u
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAROYmpAT5N9
是軍中常見的圖騰。64Please respect copyright.PENANAOD4fCKNva1
我知道那應該是賈似道口中的無字令牌。64Please respect copyright.PENANA9NZGFDj26U
「屬下宿衛營偏將 - 何修文,賈大人已交代屬下好好保護大人。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAe6mTiKOBCQ
「好吧。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAEesLMqBJh6
「前方是玉瓊樓,大人請。」64Please respect copyright.PENANA1ArQZnGh4J
他微微一躬,他愈恭敬,我愈提防。64Please respect copyright.PENANAilz9ekTXKc
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAWtNcjYvqLo
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAz7OM4jnkmP
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAZf2sShqkGZ
共聚半個時辰,已經索要百兩起的高價。64Please respect copyright.PENANATd67K8PfJY
今晚賈似道給予我的任務,就是從這位藝伎手中要回寶劍。64Please respect copyright.PENANAZgcSQfU3Vq
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAH1wHtjJmCj
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAQM36KLh5ls
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:64Please respect copyright.PENANA6fdhFa2Ti6
「我們的念柔姑娘已經在後居等待大人。」64Please respect copyright.PENANASei5tkcNtq
念柔?是該位名歌妓的芳名嗎?64Please respect copyright.PENANAdA8e7k3GrA
在這個人引路的路上,我跟何修文交投接耳:64Please respect copyright.PENANAoqZPlyATWZ
「聽說這位念柔姑娘是有錢也約不上的,怎麼可能......?」64Please respect copyright.PENANAokQEB8YtS3
「賈太師開口要的,有誰不給?」64Please respect copyright.PENANA7ceqeGlmgH
「這倒也是。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAOsBK0HagUg
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANA7GXMAe8KI8
來到一處偏廳門外,引路的人在門外輕叩一下:64Please respect copyright.PENANAz1T3SWRMYF
「小姐,秦大人來了。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAisXErr9Jzr
室內的人用上柔弱的聲線說道:64Please respect copyright.PENANA79gIMc7tpV
「進來吧。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAjd1cPQApXm
何修文跟我打了一個眼色,示意他在外守候著。64Please respect copyright.PENANAVf8eQKUrIq
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAesweM9ht2f
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANA2NBoWfXzsB
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAzec7bKLUT6
「大人此番前來,應該不是問事,也不是喝酒作樂。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAhbipPbO4mp
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAcTx7z9WiUJ
「大人是為此物而來,對吧?」64Please respect copyright.PENANAoTBnTgstwg
她怎麼會預先知道?64Please respect copyright.PENANA5QeM4kj8iH
難道她真的擁有未卦先知的能力嗎?64Please respect copyright.PENANA9QboAw6cEz
不然的話,她可就真是神通廣大。64Please respect copyright.PENANAd6O1w3dvBz
「我對寶劍不感興趣,只是......」64Please respect copyright.PENANA5CBbayDqZb
「那就是此物把大人喚來。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAoab6sxXPWH
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAJQt0Au2xGG
「大人,一看無妨吧。」64Please respect copyright.PENANARSnHUHt67t
我準備伸手握上劍柄之際,意識彷彿在現實和夢境中穿梭。64Please respect copyright.PENANAgUPDiAbL11
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANA6jVvhGf0Z0
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAlRygW1sn6g
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAJeSeapzMcs
那種感覺,就像我完整了。64Please respect copyright.PENANARY0mxo57iV
就是這麼簡單的一個感覺和念想。64Please respect copyright.PENANAVrtj4cp2lZ
「大人小心。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAeBLH9A3nLT
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAC1YhIO6dG7
傷痕雖淺,卻已成血痕。64Please respect copyright.PENANADhAWlsnxik
「大人!」64Please respect copyright.PENANAZJoqxDfrqN
「小姐!」64Please respect copyright.PENANAxc5AtOLqnG
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。64Please respect copyright.PENANAl3hJvFaEde
整個偏廳的氣氛頓時變得緊張起來。64Please respect copyright.PENANAMraZmLLkWq
她說,只要還記得,夢就不止是夢。
