翌日，少婦不畏山路辛勞地再次跋涉而下，卻沒有攜帶她重要而必要的藥箱，她只是為了看到──439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp4tF6p2K4
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6pCIrhUMf
為了親眼確認，那憑空消失的魔物到底是不是真實存在。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDGZaOwfZi
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI9uY5c33P
穗作收割後所留下的田陌空地，似乎有什麼物體搖搖晃晃地伸展而出，將空氣攪成一團爛糊，定神一看，卻只是一陣風颺起。一片片的陰影在地面嬉鬧竄流，然而抬頭所見卻是秋高氣爽的天空……439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMxLJnq4xX
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXg8oWYpZn
有許多聲音在低笑說著她聽不懂的語言，也聽不見，只覺得震耳欲聾。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TfbpasZUc
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVZz7FgcQO
小末所發現的『卵』再也沒有看見過，而她本人也無任何異常，只是偶爾會大呼小叫地瘋狂歡跳。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm0DKVp6Ez
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75QNUkIO8C
這裡有許多東西，少婦強烈地感受到，卻也同等強烈地自認為是錯覺。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvluzgka5E
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59kKDme1sc
不該再想了……要當作沒見過那種生物……439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HdWfIFTAn
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5wnkzsmAo
自己已不再是過去的那個人了，所以，不應該再看到那種東西的。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBzqn2lwrq
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdKpBg10qi
少婦強迫自己鎮定，終於，很快地這片山谷又恢復平日所熟悉的景象。她鬆了口氣，上前向村人問道：「小末呢？」439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtynYngiFtz
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVlHPW3KEa
村人愣了一下，「小末？是誰啊？」439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjje8xGICq
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6uEnZQakO
「……就…大作家的么子…」439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWo3g75vRo
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL7SOQSPtq
「大作啊…他不是只有三個兒子……而且他妻子已經……」439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplRdjWgtTK
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1QIRkEyM2
村人的回答碎裂了支撐她思緒的細微意志，就這樣薄弱地摔落地面，把一切不屬於塵事的叫囂與陰影從地底喚醒，它們鑽入天際，歡樂地歌舞著。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJQmVbcT7G
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNdEFJKY1L
小末狂笑著從田埂的另一方跑了過來，繞了少婦一圈，又叫嘯著奔到另一頭去。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1Z7L82fnd
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKsObZz5oW
「那不就是小末嗎？」439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89juL3i6e1
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUEGl4Pc4G
「是啊，是小末啊。」村人毫無猶疑地回答。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKZP1oslr4
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SSN0Lyucj
他們對於異象完全無所覺，順其自然地成了異象的一部份，只有自己……439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GxHFyRZed
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnFqqe9QIP
她潰敗地逃回山林。秋葉紛落、草木枯黃，山林內依舊祥靜如夢醒，即使回頭俯望底下的山谷，也只是普通的村落聚居，沒有任何不安。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNgS7Pwe4E
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWDd3Q9RZP
方才的事也不像是親身所經歷。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlozTeAHzO
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrjBTySMfY
回到自家小屋中，也就早已遺忘了所有的夢魘。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAwmXwgcsh
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w6UOc6TzX
現今的生活還是如同她所冀求的一般，心中也十分平靜。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepUvzAA3Cw
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyC2kYlqm3
然後，熟稔地開始檢選藥材，有些烹煮、有些磨成膏粉，她還得治療一隻受傷的大白貓呢。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW0wYlv97E
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVQm2CKNsh
大白貓的男人在白天絕不出門，一到晚上便會鑽入暗林裡獵補山禽野獸。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYZztzWFta
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpHMl8NwXZ
他中毒極深，除非是真正對藥與毒有專精如己的人，否則任是得到了如何珍貴的藥材也將束手無策。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTWtJIt4Cq
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv2qgVl1oW
僅管那隻大白貓一雙血瞳是如何兇暴孤僻，最後還是得乖乖地在自己面前把一整帖苦藥給乖乖全數吞下，抱怨不得半聲。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNReWLcD01
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeoAEcS60J
少婦獨自沉靜地坐在幽暗的小屋內，耐心地等待爐燄慢慢將藥湯熬煮得濃燙，以及狩獵完回來得喝下這壺湯藥的大白貓。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6o7cefyez
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9Dg5cZayW
隔了兩日之後，少婦再次背起藥箱走下山頭，然後，一如過往為村民治病與傾聽他們的交談。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NlZoGaJab
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCsy3Xs4vT
沒有什麼異樣，也不再有魔物出現。甚至原本該注意小末的事都不復記憶。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W2oo3ws5B
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aNZKOniIl
入秋了，晚風開始吹得冰涼，而西落的日光也更是紅得耀眼，農收的男人皮膚被染出一層通紅。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsWrMaBNco
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xuYv760eT
穀子被堆在空地上曝塞，入夜前又得忙著收拾在穀缸內。女人們紛紛拿出禦寒的衣物來縫補，小孩子被吩咐要在臨近的林地收集好可以添火的枯枝。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8narhrshO5
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANndFFJq0t
少婦則拿出一些藥材分贈村人，加入烹煮的食物裡食用能抵禦冬冷的寒氣。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc47ti1zv3
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfM9YKrSSN
為了明日的存活與生計又再不停地忙錄著，這是身為人類在大地上極其自然的行為。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oi22OJIUp
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazkC0J1f3y
再自然不過，就這樣一直活下去……439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEDr0yfgAz
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQMqTetxb1
走在山路上，少婦忽然有些依依不捨地回頭，並不怎麼稀奇的天空與雲、與山、與谷、與溪、以及那不起眼的普通村落，都讓人產生矇矓的眷戀。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0YLBUjiNC
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa79fn6pzl3
或許是有生之年，心中第一次有盈滿的感覺。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPOXIRNeso
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOEcU3oYvX
別過頭，滿山的秋肅氣氳雖然冰涼，卻溫柔地輕拂過萬物。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsevksPtCf8
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkGepFawFw
心中的陰影也彷彿要漸漸被帶走般……439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UXp2Dde9u
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfX302QWao
「怎麼了？妳要忘了我嗎？」快要被遺忘的臉孔，拖著綿長的身體乘風而來，她模仿著輕風的溫柔，用眾多手臂裡最前端的一雙取下了少婦的帽紗，「妳正在呼喚著黑闇喔……」439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhxFamSaAy
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2fNCAMExV
少婦看著那微笑的雙瞳與嘴角，呆愣地像是置身夢境之中。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUcQoez67K
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtVpQWCett
一直藏匿的臉孔被揭了開來，她的面容一如多年以前姣好而年輕，即使歲月與人事在眼神裡添加了風霜，也只被深藏於黑瞳深處……439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY4ToTgU8e
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym753nSDbz
那個曾經是被小末所發現的『卵』、被少婦所喚作『神』的魔物，像是滿意少婦的臉孔而吃吃地天真笑起，「小末的靈魂應該很鮮美吧，對不對？…不過那個沒有辦法拿走，所以…妳的給我……」439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wWXBP2AoJ
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXn858Gj9T
秋風掃起了滿山紅黃枯葉，也捲起了塵埃，優雅得如同日常一般。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ6XxByUSI
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvFjlFckWv
被捉走的，只有她自己而已……439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCjZom5KXw
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38NVIcuMHm
「…櫻姬…」439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmK8ixz8y8o
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98yqHCfJMt
當神魔喚出自己的真名時，陳封的記憶也將被打散，如同落葉般地漫天紛飛……439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrsJhcYR1y
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb57Gfqh1L
不知在何處的小末，帶著滿足的笑容蜷曲身體，無數隻蟲蛆忙碌地在她身旁蠕動吐絲、用繭做成了與世隔絕的球殼，於是小末就在殼裡逐漸回溯到她還是小嬰兒的年紀，從腳尖開始一點一滴地退化縮小，成了吐絲造繭的蟲蛆形態，當她完全消失時，薄殼破裂開來，腐土伸出一雙死槁但充滿母愛的手指，把它帶回地底。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyjl7idJQ2
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk9dZL17RB
……自己也化成了一縷輕煙，灑脫地在晴空裡飛散成虛無……439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AhyCHkOcF
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrPSGmvAxJ
無數蟲蛆辛勤地鑽入山道鬆軟土壤，沿路栽植出比花瓣斑斕的彩蛹，它們像是葉片一樣舒捲開來，從中伸出了數支芽臂，頂端密集的頭顱們齊聲地唱著似曾相似的歌謠。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZGh13vQ1W
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNVSa4u9J5
拖曳著贅長羽毛、與葉片同樣嬌小的鳥兒在芽臂與葉片間輕靈地鑽竄，長在鳥腹上以翼作手的小人用爪子抓起唱歌的頭顱飛翔，於是每一顆頭顱都開始尋求自己的軀體，在落到地面時都具有各自喜歡的模樣，骨肉血脈尋求自由地掙脫既定的形體拘束，像是飛禽也像走獸、同時是飛禽走獸都不會有的形態。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zpNA9MGA7
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEWDqlFG04
祂們的形體就是祂們的意志。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLOuisaY0d
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0GxNdBVpT
整座樹林也是有著自由意志的活物，正愉快地向上伸展枝椏，佔據了整片蒼穹。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXNAESIKMa
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09De17VgxJ
數不清的赤紅眼睛在黑暗密林裡燿燿燃起……439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjGBf4zonh
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8nLdNNabK
片刻的瞬間，魔物們就驅走了時光的存在。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2wZGctKzE

……好靜謐啊……439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuISyqNTrLx
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmRlCgfIpv
這裡是溫暖又靜謐的黑暗世界，是永遠沉睡之處……439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8kMzKXlpz
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5Rj5CGeDS
就在這裡沉睡吧，陷入深深的睡眠，連夢境都無法叨擾。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kuUwa0bbq
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyJHi5Ne50
……永不清醒……439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZgZ0Ko3P7
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5qVwK5XEW
只要在自己的小屋內，靜靜地等著爐火熬藥，心裡就會安心。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA1HSKs2fR
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YEJvVSS8H
苦蘿根、芍香等易生常見的藥用植物，由毒蛇糞土裡生長的劍藤才真正具有解毒功能，而難以栽種的七葉蘭在此地從六葉甚至九葉都有，麻雀花是人畜皆懼的毒物，卻也是治療絕症的極效品……439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDkTDkVhEV
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0DS5cVQPt
一個又一個地細數著所有的藥材，終於連自己心底的喧噪聲音也不再聽聞。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Lbf01PH9J
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjh3VgQQS2
其餘事物都毫無義意。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgNTv8CnwK
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzZZP1c7nj
但是受傷的大白貓卻撬開門扉，他中毒極深，除非是真正對藥與毒有專精如己的人，否則任是得到了如何珍貴的藥材也將束手無策……439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxXXKjW5T8

──死白的粗壯手臂硬是扯破了美好的沉靜墨色──439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOAoU0bzOC
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeTQK8D7Vr
大白貓敏捷而有力的爪子撕裂魔物們攀上櫻姬的觸手，魔物們不怒反笑地顫動著，他只得用比任何魔物更加血腥的赤瞳來斥退祂們。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTAs52uLMX
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXaVdSEpWX
野獸般的哮吼刺耳刮骨，黑暗世界變得既破碎又褪色，魔物們大笑，像是妥協地讓出光影與時間，而後鼠竄地一哄而散。439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4anqbgyILQ
