(1)死326Please respect copyright.PENANAEJd8OhkBdV
326Please respect copyright.PENANAnV0fswRv61
他在梳化上猛然醒來。326Please respect copyright.PENANATRo6nJa5jz
326Please respect copyright.PENANANU25d8FFOn
電視仍然亮著,新聞報導員正在講述關於疫情的新聞和消息。內容千篇一律,悶人又煩人。326Please respect copyright.PENANAdQuGReUrSX
326Please respect copyright.PENANApVqHqQKnJe
他打個呵欠,伸個懶腰。雙掌使勁按壓梳化,借力撐起整個人,避免膝頭過份受力。許是在凹陷的梳化坐得太長時間,大腿和臀部均感到少許麻痺。不至於會跌倒的程度,但他下意識地一邊倚扶著傢具,一邊拖著腳步走向浴室。326Please respect copyright.PENANAH6ODczgLeZ
326Please respect copyright.PENANAhasFedvnvN
人老了,身體差了,動作遲緩了,連小便如此簡單和基本的本能也變得困難。甭提總是瞄不準便器,尿液還要是逐滴逐滴慢慢滴出來,彷彿要滴乾他的尊嚴。326Please respect copyright.PENANADU4R5SDcYS
326Please respect copyright.PENANABqQ0eYOIR3
怎麼辦?可以怎麼辦?吹口哨吧。口吹曲子,耳邊響起熟悉的歌聲,心裡默唸自勵自欺的歌詞。326Please respect copyright.PENANAhX6e4N8IQC
326Please respect copyright.PENANAKkhNltvtxs
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張326Please respect copyright.PENANAjsGgpIbUmI
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷326Please respect copyright.PENANA59wgBG4i5Q
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長326Please respect copyright.PENANAspzkg7hTeu
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量326Please respect copyright.PENANAn8Z7w633Fn
326Please respect copyright.PENANAjKfXE72uFJ
小便後,步出浴室,再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。326Please respect copyright.PENANAVfBogEwaPG
326Please respect copyright.PENANADXEm3jPvn7
抵不住。326Please respect copyright.PENANAMXKG4aM75H
326Please respect copyright.PENANAeKhsi4qltq
他決定到公園散步。326Please respect copyright.PENANAlkZbVKDcrb
326Please respect copyright.PENANAj0gvoz3sYI
望望手錶,是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。326Please respect copyright.PENANAObweXU4sgM
326Please respect copyright.PENANAcjTA6mqs9Y
好福氣的,或是三五成群談天說地,或是在家傭的攙扶下散步。福薄的,或是推著購物車奔波買餸,或是顫巍巍地被送上療養院的巴士。326Please respect copyright.PENANA2Eiu7PFbfE
326Please respect copyright.PENANAxUlpdCXYEm
自己有福氣嗎?托賴。能走能動能講能吃,與兒孫同住。雖偶有口角,卻也沒有特別煩心事。326Please respect copyright.PENANAxwzRasBQPA
326Please respect copyright.PENANAKYaKaF83KU
他知道自己該要感恩,奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。326Please respect copyright.PENANABSDn5tVGSN
326Please respect copyright.PENANAdPZlmdkoag
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。326Please respect copyright.PENANAe4ROoC6OVb
326Please respect copyright.PENANAtrnUsBjcow
樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。326Please respect copyright.PENANA8PVYeBFzCP
326Please respect copyright.PENANAdRlogsFNNs
他不自已憶起亡妻……326Please respect copyright.PENANAflBaFJyn1k
326Please respect copyright.PENANAcNw5ErmS1j
三年前的夏天,她在家跌倒,傷及腿部筋骨,自此總是步履不穩,走路時偶爾會突然腳軟跌倒。兒子勸她多休息,不要外出。她明白兒子苦心,奈何整天悶在家中令她心情抑鬱,精神越益差勁。326Please respect copyright.PENANA4bbMJ6kp8T
326Please respect copyright.PENANA9wdSgD93dL
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。326Please respect copyright.PENANAzqJwGoCPFt
326Please respect copyright.PENANAtdcb5vsZ5P
「我的腿康復不了,是嗎?」326Please respect copyright.PENANAWqRp5HSAJ0
326Please respect copyright.PENANAgcUlTXK6zV
「不是。你向來身體強健,這小小傷勢不是大問題。」326Please respect copyright.PENANAAQjXvLodky
326Please respect copyright.PENANAJyxb2e5SWd
「我何時可以痊癒?我想去探望朋友。」326Please respect copyright.PENANAeZRDan3WgN
326Please respect copyright.PENANAIirvpRnTvR
「快了、快了。不用著急!」326Please respect copyright.PENANALWQjwCgpfm
326Please respect copyright.PENANAsDT5XYLo85
「即是何時?」326Please respect copyright.PENANAxt5b61fhmW
326Please respect copyright.PENANAxJ7vo9VfBu
「下一個夏天。」326Please respect copyright.PENANAW3rJmEGNnB
326Please respect copyright.PENANAkOWRDylS99
她幽幽回望,驚訝丈夫斬釘截鐵交出一個確實答案——醫生也不敢斷言她會否康復。326Please respect copyright.PENANAo7Mq6fNaqC
326Please respect copyright.PENANAWxlhHsomiz
樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。326Please respect copyright.PENANA7KiCsNmDKV
326Please respect copyright.PENANAX4JzSqUNJ5
感動,明明眼前只有絕望。326Please respect copyright.PENANA6X2NKLE0Oz
326Please respect copyright.PENANAGDoOmZ9eRX
她的手忽爾不再無力,牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。326Please respect copyright.PENANACuAap39dWH
326Please respect copyright.PENANAVjAPNvQAiw
奇蹟?希望?不。僅是信念,難以言喻的,難以理解的。他不是神、不是醫生、不是專業人士。他僅是一個脾氣古怪的躁狂糟老頭。但她就是相信他。326Please respect copyright.PENANASMgfGbc1Bi
326Please respect copyright.PENANA0CPVBjRrRe
內心終於安定下來。326Please respect copyright.PENANA32ddoz663E
326Please respect copyright.PENANA8iHmPAKEV7
她沒再糾結於健康問題,開始向丈夫講述她的未來夏日大計:「探望朋友前,我要先辦一件十分要緊的事——吃『菠蘿油』!」326Please respect copyright.PENANApMdsJQsoYF
326Please respect copyright.PENANAyH4aCssj44
「但你的血糖……」326Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ck4WUdkht
326Please respect copyright.PENANAdvsXYVp0iW
「我向來身體強健,這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」326Please respect copyright.PENANANPT9VILP45
326Please respect copyright.PENANAmVCD5JhpZ0
他會心一笑,笑她依舊貪吃如豬。326Please respect copyright.PENANAAYyUVquS4K
326Please respect copyright.PENANAy4CPjxUGwz
下一個夏天到來。她的腿傷還是沒能康復,走路時拐得更嚴重。326Please respect copyright.PENANAcQwZfWA6Mb
326Please respect copyright.PENANAKhOsOnflNY
兒子送她一根拐杖。326Please respect copyright.PENANA3cj7nYYB7u
326Please respect copyright.PENANAoXmGXxelJY
當晚,她躲在浴室裡啜泣。他沒有上前安慰,因為所有安慰說話都沒能扭轉衰老之勢,倒不如讓她盡情宣洩情緒。326Please respect copyright.PENANAYpGe2ISvv8
326Please respect copyright.PENANAB5fHJKWK7G
她不知道,整個晚上,丈夫徹夜無眠,眼睜睜望著天花,細聽她的哭聲,細想她的未來。326Please respect copyright.PENANAjvtaiM0FSN
326Please respect copyright.PENANA0pt3IhNMXv
天亮,兒子和媳婦準時離家上班去。他送孫兒到學校後,馬上回家慫恿妻子一起外出逛街。「夏天嘛!當然要吃『菠蘿油』!」326Please respect copyright.PENANABVZcQFMYay
326Please respect copyright.PENANAtb53xgpGZw
妻子笑了,連忙穿上最漂亮的衣褲鞋襪,戴上最喜歡的髮夾,塗上最鮮色的紅唇膏。她沒有使用兒子送她的拐杖,因為丈夫就是世上最好的拐杖——依著他、靠著他,她安然走到今時今日的七十高齡。326Please respect copyright.PENANAFVQ10evr3N
326Please respect copyright.PENANAKOwEpHSp0a
鐵路車站裡,人流如鯽,彷彿有股無形的強力水流在背後催促著。他懶理,繼續保持慢調,只知自己不僅是自己。326Please respect copyright.PENANAqga2s1FEdB
326Please respect copyright.PENANAFpQgm1VtP1
終於來到馳名的冰廳,二人各點一客「菠蘿油」。不好吃,亦不是回憶中的味道。326Please respect copyright.PENANAUNhIq2IYss
326Please respect copyright.PENANAOhHfptWmMc
不要緊,反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。326Please respect copyright.PENANA0udh1dkZzl
326Please respect copyright.PENANA1x6qLIPhgB
夫婦相視而笑。笑甚麼,不知道,大概是完成了十分重要的事情吧。326Please respect copyright.PENANAL5tQZcxYJJ
326Please respect copyright.PENANAsx2UIJC2RF
於願足矣。326Please respect copyright.PENANAmkTnsLJy7j
326Please respect copyright.PENANAvFLBpnCsT8
沒過幾天,還未開始探望朋友,她已於睡夢中悄然離世……326Please respect copyright.PENANAXEZPs8SVvO
326Please respect copyright.PENANAGoiJmREQK9
公園裡,樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。326Please respect copyright.PENANAzKr7fmtAz8
326Please respect copyright.PENANAEZRZ10rIfm
他不動聲息,藏起思念,繼續開步走。326Please respect copyright.PENANAU6q0YSWgWc
326Please respect copyright.PENANARF3Yp0fvNu
總得走下去,不是嗎?326Please respect copyright.PENANAZSOgwq9L7D
326Please respect copyright.PENANAVzO6WDbwGB
不努力走下去,就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。326Please respect copyright.PENANAToLbSLQQX3
326Please respect copyright.PENANA4i4kJudZJc
走到涼亭,看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。326Please respect copyright.PENANArPm6iTSwCe
326Please respect copyright.PENANAmkHO4n6d5D
棋局中,事事分明,步步無情。326Please respect copyright.PENANAw5KIBORv8R
326Please respect copyright.PENANAQA76c7WE67
他專注觀賽,全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。
(2)病326Please respect copyright.PENANAYitdQyFRDb
326Please respect copyright.PENANApy56hZXd37
他在床上徐徐張眼。326Please respect copyright.PENANAigjQtysT0g
326Please respect copyright.PENANA7gtGRE00Js
床褥太軟,腰骨微痛。這不是家裡的床。326Please respect copyright.PENANA6CJYbsVxv3
326Please respect copyright.PENANAkX065o0DWc
暈眩冉退,目光聚焦。看見多張整齊排列的病床和面無血色的老者,他瞬間得出以下結論——醫院。326Please respect copyright.PENANA9iE6ZEAIqk
326Please respect copyright.PENANANjiIC1EFsj
嗯。醫院。326Please respect copyright.PENANArRW3YybDG7
326Please respect copyright.PENANAnnwlwj4Ghr
接受醫生的檢查,證實無恙後,獲告知可以隨時出院。護士根據過往紀錄,已通知兒子和媳婦,只待他們前來接送。326Please respect copyright.PENANAvJj5od1tJ8
326Please respect copyright.PENANAkQFrBoQIYl
醫生離開後,護士也去忙別的。326Please respect copyright.PENANAcgcVojRus4
326Please respect copyright.PENANAeOOBSAHuhD
他呆坐床上,默默看著醫護人員在多張病床之間來來回回,感覺實在又虛幻——活到這個年紀,總得要到醫院走幾趟,實屬平常不過的事情,對吧?326Please respect copyright.PENANAWPLblUaS1K
326Please respect copyright.PENANAP9K8gVl4vQ
如他所料,兒子在晚上八時許現身。一臉倦容。326Please respect copyright.PENANAjZyPpxm0bM
326Please respect copyright.PENANApmpaFUoLmy
「醫生說我沒大礙。可能是公園太熱,熱昏了。」326Please respect copyright.PENANAEW1hkALFaA
326Please respect copyright.PENANAGWp6i6erpN
「那就多待在家裡避暑,不要外出四處走動。」326Please respect copyright.PENANAflGAR81kHL
326Please respect copyright.PENANAEETc5XLr7C
「知道。」326Please respect copyright.PENANADRnRUqUdBL
326Please respect copyright.PENANAg0VrCnCIwc
兒子攙扶他走出醫院,在街邊截下的士,直驅住所。326Please respect copyright.PENANA2TP3SuSqWv
326Please respect copyright.PENANAzAN61OgJMd
車廂裡,二人不發一言,各自對著窗外景物發愣。326Please respect copyright.PENANADLVsYt15wJ
326Please respect copyright.PENANAfkM3TKbV4D
沒有怨氣或鬱結,只有緩解不了的疲憊。身心俱疲。326Please respect copyright.PENANA9vn5XAtOgw
326Please respect copyright.PENANAMadr9iF1B2
黃色街燈在夜幕下迅速往後退。一盞、兩盞、三盞……不盡,無窮。326Please respect copyright.PENANApDdQvSf6QE
326Please respect copyright.PENANA2iCpAkpx60
兒子倏忽開口,神色惘然。326Please respect copyright.PENANAXse56jyfUu
326Please respect copyright.PENANAQsQzcE5FwV
「我有末期肝癌,剩半年壽命。」326Please respect copyright.PENANAsSJwaHKGJA
326Please respect copyright.PENANAPEGObJ0M7n
「她知道了沒?」326Please respect copyright.PENANAot9BBoiagZ
326Please respect copyright.PENANAkMX3H0XJUU
「不打算告訴她。」326Please respect copyright.PENANAZfmO2ceUyL
326Please respect copyright.PENANA6wtIPQ478c
「你如何在她不知情的情況下抽時間接受治療?」326Please respect copyright.PENANAPgxjiF9bkR
326Please respect copyright.PENANAXjdFzYRRM7
兒子笑而不語。326Please respect copyright.PENANA2FSB2ELvhN
326Please respect copyright.PENANA9hbkjK3Ppl
他愣住片刻,良久才道:「明白。」326Please respect copyright.PENANA49iqCEeq24
326Please respect copyright.PENANA3UxahBMBQm
兒子輕拍他的肩膊,以示感謝。326Please respect copyright.PENANA6oIy2BMWuD
326Please respect copyright.PENANAIkEWh23IZt
抵家。兒子依舊朝妻兒溫柔地微笑。他沒作聲,逕自到浴室洗澡去。326Please respect copyright.PENANA2OftRLHqVm
326Please respect copyright.PENANAkDYVsYhiPW
蒸氣瀰漫,看得見,抓不著。甚麼也抓不著。抓不著開始,也抓不著終結。326Please respect copyright.PENANACdxLooITvg
326Please respect copyright.PENANAiM50javvzw
沒選擇的情況下被生產下來,沒能選擇長大與否,沒選擇的情況下經歷病痛,沒選擇的情況下死去。生老病死,全是沒能選擇的。326Please respect copyright.PENANAOom3SJ6fH5
326Please respect copyright.PENANACtPgsLNibZ
翌日,兒子和媳婦如常上班,孫兒如常上學,家裡只餘他一人。百無聊賴。326Please respect copyright.PENANAcs3ir0TR0f
326Please respect copyright.PENANAgscNHHdt7R
他決定到公園走走。326Please respect copyright.PENANANwiKpuSczo
326Please respect copyright.PENANADUjsXQXEHt
樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。326Please respect copyright.PENANAa6vFsrV8Fz
326Please respect copyright.PENANAKaW3rv2n09
此樹是否去年那樹?此鳥是否去年那鳥?此蟲是否去年那蟲?要緊,不要緊。在意,沒能在意。326Please respect copyright.PENANAx7hyAqFNtx
326Please respect copyright.PENANABA5VnKAXaM
幽幽踏步,皆因內心焦躁。326Please respect copyright.PENANAdBE4JprYX4
326Please respect copyright.PENANAfmLg0nFE73
來到涼亭,棋友們向他問好。他笑說自己比年輕人更健康。棋友們以為再也看不見他,感到難過。他認為無論難過與否,該死的時候總得要死。326Please respect copyright.PENANAssopgPv3FP
326Please respect copyright.PENANAz8uiF4k9d3
全場一片默然。326Please respect copyright.PENANA206ZGU9639
326Please respect copyright.PENANAc3jFdG89XK
聊聊笑笑罷。下棋耍樂罷。326Please respect copyright.PENANAcK2kM2MjoN
326Please respect copyright.PENANAg22tuSw3oT
不要問為何。不要問感受。326Please respect copyright.PENANATgX8lCZDqP
326Please respect copyright.PENANAcPiM2jOdvm
有如那樹那鳥那蟲。沒能在意。326Please respect copyright.PENANA24pPqBWTwV
326Please respect copyright.PENANAgq6JHcm4bh
正午,他前去學校接送孫兒。孫兒說吃過同學送的怪味糖果後身體輕微不適。他不以為然。下午,孫兒痾嘔不止。聯絡不上兒子和媳婦,他只好獨個兒帶孫兒到醫院去。輪候期間,一張發白的熟悉臉孔癱軟在擔架床上,被匆匆推送入急症室深處。326Please respect copyright.PENANAuthM7SseFL
326Please respect copyright.PENANAKpWT8Q3ACZ
那是今早與他談笑風生的其中一位棋友。326Please respect copyright.PENANAwXzHEb4Anx
326Please respect copyright.PENANAaQFKLbawdr
數個身穿便服的男女先後抵達護士站,然後按指示守在急症室外。沒多久,醫生步出急症室,宣告棋友的死訊。男男女女隨即哭作一團。326Please respect copyright.PENANAgMr7fbKcod
326Please respect copyright.PENANAKXqpzWTc4h
他默默將孫兒擁入懷裡。326Please respect copyright.PENANAhTuvP2Bhgz
326Please respect copyright.PENANAeqANRTheHE
心慌的極致原來是平靜和淡然,皆因透徹體悟到自身的無能無力無奈。326Please respect copyright.PENANAhxjERB46qM
326Please respect copyright.PENANAz56uySz4ja
「爺爺,很熱啊!」不知袖裡的孫兒輕輕推開他。326Please respect copyright.PENANAJYYfQSefV4
326Please respect copyright.PENANAFwSFyekWr9
「嗯。」對於眼前一切,他花盡全身力氣發出渺小的一聲。326Please respect copyright.PENANAmfxxlQ5Mzr
326Please respect copyright.PENANAkFwUsdLL4a
晚餐後,兒子在露台抽菸,媳婦在廚房洗碗。孫兒是個好動的孩子,五分鐘前肚痾得雙腿發軟,此刻已然在梳化上跳個不停。326Please respect copyright.PENANAR9XAmxLqHm
326Please respect copyright.PENANAC0tG3Fxtxq
跳跳跳,有節奏地跳個不停,像心臟。326Please respect copyright.PENANA51tgGhWcTK
326Please respect copyright.PENANAVU3C6mBw8Q
心臟停止跳動當刻,棋友有何感受?掛念未完的棋局?掛念急症室外的男女親友?326Please respect copyright.PENANAKBwGxRXiFP
326Please respect copyright.PENANAzuAJ7jImQq
他的目光不期然瞄向露台,看著兒子呼出個個煙圈,圈圈復圈圈,冉升消散不復見。326Please respect copyright.PENANAnrHkGW63q6
326Please respect copyright.PENANAuvR8jqmEWz
不復見。326Please respect copyright.PENANAE4dqsLiy14
326Please respect copyright.PENANA53oVCt0exi
他莫名的被深深憾動。326Please respect copyright.PENANARiriiVSMoi
326Please respect copyright.PENANAv00TY1cfoM
走到兒子身邊,告知棋友的死訊。326Please respect copyright.PENANA7uFWyVUGWs
326Please respect copyright.PENANA9v0TYePZow
毋須明言,兒子已猜測到他的用意。326Please respect copyright.PENANAJTG9lXtOLn
326Please respect copyright.PENANAKvRydvgFRN
「我不怕死。」326Please respect copyright.PENANASiZjQe6Wnk
326Please respect copyright.PENANAl7Ogr5Cowh
「我也不怕死——死亡並不可怕,只怕沒能完成想要完成的事。」326Please respect copyright.PENANASGGI8zgkpR
326Please respect copyright.PENANAsk8tsaUVl8
「你有沒有想要完成的事?」326Please respect copyright.PENANAGUigLaCeUc
326Please respect copyright.PENANAUJdkwpfbDW
「每年夏天買『菠蘿油』給你媽。」326Please respect copyright.PENANAcbinAT4edy
326Please respect copyright.PENANAPnwrN0gcZc
「她的叮囑?」326Please respect copyright.PENANAfwBm3nwkR0
326Please respect copyright.PENANAfHzbN01Usv
「不。她離開得太突然,我沒機會問她,只得按照她生前喜好去估計她的心思。」326Please respect copyright.PENANAdOv3EaV4wp
326Please respect copyright.PENANAHqBEZtxNrc
「別傻!她不願看見你耿耿於懷!」326Please respect copyright.PENANAURW7fl5nsy
326Please respect copyright.PENANAJPlcqoawSO
「她沒這麼說。」326Please respect copyright.PENANAAQefMKoKSt
326Please respect copyright.PENANAW7W8yYhckG
兒子苦笑,笑他彆扭。326Please respect copyright.PENANAb9GMRo5D8q
326Please respect copyright.PENANAUtrY5Z09OX
再次不了了之?他以為是,直至夜半聞得媳婦哭聲不絕。326Please respect copyright.PENANAaIfx67amG7
326Please respect copyright.PENANAScFnIkTx4z
無論大家怎樣勸說,兒子依然不願接受治療,堅持要盡量留下金錢予家人。326Please respect copyright.PENANAEphVdvdOlK
326Please respect copyright.PENANAPDLHLh3k63
半年後,兒子沒死去。一年後,兒子仍活著。三年半後,兒子依然沒斷氣。326Please respect copyright.PENANAhoPysOv9xb
326Please respect copyright.PENANAz5p8uyijfz
問何解。醫生說原因不明,但癌細胞消失了。兒子說只想盡力工作賺錢養活家人。326Please respect copyright.PENANAFHVTad7bmQ
326Please respect copyright.PENANAn27WTIDBbs
離開醫院、歸家路上,兒子和他拐到公園散步去。326Please respect copyright.PENANARCLs4keIr1
326Please respect copyright.PENANAS3dW5KrNOO
樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。326Please respect copyright.PENANA1b40xmY2nV
326Please respect copyright.PENANAYZc0k3pU0G
「你多活了三年半。」326Please respect copyright.PENANAs8WSlOjauy
326Please respect copyright.PENANAFe9L8BYSH4
「我多吃了三個『菠蘿油』。」326Please respect copyright.PENANAi8MOitaqUx
326Please respect copyright.PENANAf2yU2kQffS
「想繼續吃?」326Please respect copyright.PENANABDylDJU2Yi
326Please respect copyright.PENANABfsl1iK4q4
「是。期待下一個夏天。」326Please respect copyright.PENANATvcXbhqUM9
326Please respect copyright.PENANAQw68o8nEll
兒子認為這次大病是上天的提醒,希望他往後好好珍惜時間。打算辭職休養一段日子,在接下來的暑假與大家出國旅遊後,才重回職場繼續拼搏。326Please respect copyright.PENANAEr93VxnFEw
326Please respect copyright.PENANAbYUt7L39Y6
他為兒子衷心高興著,亦感謝上蒼的好生之德,沒有帶走……326Please respect copyright.PENANAtlZK5T4aP5
326Please respect copyright.PENANAGP0yDTZ1qQ
兒子呢?326Please respect copyright.PENANAtwvVJjPq6k
326Please respect copyright.PENANAM64ih7Cpxj
悉才尚在身邊的兒子不見蹤影。326Please respect copyright.PENANAscPEJGVP5t
326Please respect copyright.PENANAqcAQ1F2Ecd
啊!記起來了。326Please respect copyright.PENANAmuuMG1naxx
326Please respect copyright.PENANAz1v9ShSmAe
兒子去年在暑假前遇上意外,下半身癱瘓。沒能出國旅遊,沒能重回職場,沒能享受期待已久的夏日。326Please respect copyright.PENANAGsQ39x3UBZ
326Please respect copyright.PENANADe9MqrCXGV
果然。326Please respect copyright.PENANALHGnxsuiaJ
326Please respect copyright.PENANASWFN3Iw6WS
不努力走下去,就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。326Please respect copyright.PENANA0Y7csCweGE
326Please respect copyright.PENANAFYf4KbcpK2
婆娑樹影之下、鳥叫蟲鳴之中,他繼續走。326Please respect copyright.PENANA9Cj7mL909N
326Please respect copyright.PENANA7GV41k9itj
幽幽踏步慢慢走。
(3)老326Please respect copyright.PENANAw3n9F0lk8t
326Please respect copyright.PENANAIGFA9ljs5x
他在搖搖椅上猛然醒來。326Please respect copyright.PENANAVOohvrPGTC
326Please respect copyright.PENANAZeRryz8acj
望望掛鐘,七時半。該要喚醒孫兒。326Please respect copyright.PENANAaGr8fujPB0
326Please respect copyright.PENANAFBGhnogxt0
輕敲孫兒房門,不聞回應。推門內進,不見孫兒身影。房內枱櫃床鋪依舊,掛牆照片卻變了樣——相中人稚嫩不再,五官英氣。他頓時意會到孫兒早已不再是黏人的小孩子,不需要他的照顧。326Please respect copyright.PENANAVezV6bqz6O
326Please respect copyright.PENANAk8p2rHBLk4
若有所失。326Please respect copyright.PENANAI3JbJ1w9tq
326Please respect copyright.PENANAMVEheu9AS4
到公園散心吧。326Please respect copyright.PENANAmXc3nsZzjo
326Please respect copyright.PENANAUBr0CnPIOk
公園裡,美好回憶俯拾皆是。326Please respect copyright.PENANAZgmFExrBNc
326Please respect copyright.PENANAmOfZQxthXI
憶起跟妻子慢步於蟲鳴之中,憶起與兒子傻傻追尋鳥叫源頭,憶起和孫兒偷偷在樹身刻字。326Please respect copyright.PENANAjgaox1EY57

不,不是它——因著樹身變得粗壯,刻記模糊難辨。326Please respect copyright.PENANAGEkcyKbTiJ

326Please respect copyright.PENANA9U7JOjvrIW
「嗯……」326Please respect copyright.PENANAg0LpXQvLTn
326Please respect copyright.PENANA1COkDbcvSs
家。他在搖搖椅上搖著、搖著,天花燈在眼前晃著、晃著,孫兒在廚房裡頭忙著、忙著。326Please respect copyright.PENANAsza6dM5JaZ
326Please respect copyright.PENANAQeMc1QS9GR
一切近在眼前,卻又無比遙遠。反觀那些遠在天邊的,竟顯得如此接近。326Please respect copyright.PENANAJBFCivCnCn
326Please respect copyright.PENANAAk7Rg3fhaq
是否忘記了甚麼?326Please respect copyright.PENANAWHK8lFdElb

目光無意間落在緊閉的主人房房門上——何解兒子沒有一起吃午餐?326Please respect copyright.PENANAxOTqd60gfQ
326Please respect copyright.PENANA0EudRERsF4
輕敲主人房房門,不聞回應。欲推門內進,卻發現房門上鎖——自己被兒子嫌棄了嗎?326Please respect copyright.PENANA6E8QzfwQjq
326Please respect copyright.PENANAW3Bdno9VVB
激動。拍拍拍,踢踢踢,吵吵吵。326Please respect copyright.PENANAuXfmcIu19m

「快開門!我要跟你聊天!快開門!來!快開門!」326Please respect copyright.PENANAyKkilPzgbP
326Please respect copyright.PENANAED2W4kZ437
孫兒應聲衝出廚房,上前阻止他吵鬧。拍門的手轉而搥打孫兒。孫兒逆來順受,硬生生吃痛。326Please respect copyright.PENANA5ULGoLu2l2

未下班?在公司?他瞄向掛鐘——的確未到兒子下班時間。可是總覺得有甚麼不對勁……326Please respect copyright.PENANAPlemwGjLC1
326Please respect copyright.PENANADzTVFr4UZW
見他愣住,孫兒馬上抓緊時機分散他的注意力:「爺爺,不如一起到公園散步。」326Please respect copyright.PENANA7sYVRTsPyE
326Please respect copyright.PENANAd8g8ExcPtJ
公園裡,美好回憶俯拾皆是。326Please respect copyright.PENANA9qPxNVcgNH
326Please respect copyright.PENANA1wy5tx0spk
他享受沿路的樹影鳥蟲,孫兒只著眼於面前的佝僂身影——希望他忘記剛才的亂局吧,那就不用向他解釋家庭現況……326Please respect copyright.PENANAWHpSM4CTXY
326Please respect copyright.PENANAe1xX1AWBsb
爸爸癱瘓後,媽媽獨力扛起家庭重擔。數年以來,乳臭未乾的孩子、癱瘓的丈夫、腦部日漸退化的家翁以及工作壓力狠狠將她壓垮。她捱不下去,離家出走。爸爸難以接受愛妻的絕情,一直鬱鬱寡歡。326Please respect copyright.PENANAxgJsULBvD5
326Please respect copyright.PENANA3i1ztcfYBZ
某個深夜,忽聞爺爺自言自語。起床查探,驚見爺爺對著垂頭不動的爸爸侃侃而談。窗戶半掩,冷風吹得爸爸頭髮凌亂,臉色慘白。滿房遍地都是涼透的菸屁股。淡淡的菸味在鼻腔彌留不散,卻偏偏嗅不出半絲生命的氣息……326Please respect copyright.PENANArnWfeN6xBa

他淡然一笑,笑孫兒長高長肉不長大。326Please respect copyright.PENANARtCaDymKHb
326Please respect copyright.PENANAzc4oQzsQvM
孫兒傻了眼——他是真瘋或是假傻?326Please respect copyright.PENANAZlElpgDjnP
326Please respect copyright.PENANAfvoR1aU9FB
沒待孫兒辨清真假,他已然幽幽踏步開步走。326Please respect copyright.PENANAfuuII0X3ZM
326Please respect copyright.PENANAWFTKLHVV1M
孫兒沒有追上。知道自己該要追上,但雙腳偏偏誠實地佇立原地——多麼希望爺爺可以從此消失。326Please respect copyright.PENANACWTXRGa3ox

佝僂身影幽幽遠去,沒入婆娑樹影當中不復見。326Please respect copyright.PENANAVbGLkogIz5

他在輪椅上猛然醒來。326Please respect copyright.PENANAVdLgurD4dZ

326Please respect copyright.PENANA1qiFGeDS70
他沒有吸吮。326Please respect copyright.PENANAUs5hqkYufy

不要緊。326Please respect copyright.PENANAm9KU7VVWtf

反正該是不重要的事情——自己寶刀未老,才未糊塗得忘記重要事情。326Please respect copyright.PENANA2wROr8GpWE
326Please respect copyright.PENANAFS4Gh3nVog
他仍是那個身體健康的他,每天為養活妻兒勞碌奔波。妻子貪吃,尤愛「菠蘿油」,於是他偶爾會帶她到冰廳享用下午茶。兒子是個單純正直的小孩,深信「一分耕耘,一分收穫」,於是他一直暗暗為兒子籌謀、護航……他很自豪,自覺是個好丈夫、好爸爸。326Please respect copyright.PENANAE9gd7ZOnRM

那抹難以察覺的微笑僅維持了三秒。326Please respect copyright.PENANAlkSINwIg3X

三秒後,他忘記了前三秒的快樂,正如他忘記了大半生的重要人事物。326Please respect copyright.PENANA5SBqZo6iYX

輪椅一直前進,映入眼簾的紛亂光影不斷交替、退去、消失。326Please respect copyright.PENANALkKiljjYAH

326Please respect copyright.PENANANU4RXSXKmu
孫兒抿抿雙唇,藏起憂思,推著輪椅開步走。326Please respect copyright.PENANAImpDKDo0Hy
326Please respect copyright.PENANALk3UVsUEoB
總得走下去,不是嗎?不努力走下去,就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。326Please respect copyright.PENANAo6YoQ5N5Hp
326Please respect copyright.PENANAHE2QCq3q87
這是從他身上學懂的。326Please respect copyright.PENANA9yNP83uerZ
326Please respect copyright.PENANASAs9Z10cHx
一生受用。326Please respect copyright.PENANAS2twSnX0pn
326Please respect copyright.PENANARusEnOLmgp
「爺爺,謝謝你。」326Please respect copyright.PENANAVZdWfiaQKY
326Please respect copyright.PENANAQg9EKpuKg2
孫兒的話猶如耳邊風,進不了他的耳,到不了他的心。326Please respect copyright.PENANAtT5jXcCRdR
326Please respect copyright.PENANAyR3AXHTyzo
要緊的,其實不要緊。326Please respect copyright.PENANADffq2HZ3lG
326Please respect copyright.PENANAh2kGvGxKZY
罷。326Please respect copyright.PENANA6tDCAKJBN3
326Please respect copyright.PENANA2g5Ze5oTaw
他被送上安老院專車。326Please respect copyright.PENANAuR9hDB1lXw
326Please respect copyright.PENANAjT2yLH9csF
車窗外,無光街燈迅速往後退。一盞、兩盞、三盞……不盡,無窮。326Please respect copyright.PENANAyqkj9iZR5a
326Please respect copyright.PENANAdZ0ejYAfkb
腦海裡,無數樹影鳥蟲交替、退去、消失。326Please respect copyright.PENANAkez8euJLTG

他被動地遠離昔日一切。326Please respect copyright.PENANASHR1dFW5Wd

要緊的,不再要緊。326Please respect copyright.PENANAu22hoNL5wV

他忘記前塵,沒有執著。326Please respect copyright.PENANAZYYntofj9T

***創作概念:人生四苦——生老病死——免不了,唯有盡量好好面對和處理,令苦痛時間減短。人到晚年,對四苦感受尤深。死,可以由身邊同輩身上深切體會到;病,也許是身體發出的一個警號,提醒你要珍惜光陰和重要的人事物;老,可說是身體的老去,也可以說是精神上的成長;生,沒有永恆的生命,只得將自身的經驗和知識傳承予後代。好好面對和處理四苦,是其中一種令生命變得圓滿和有意義的方法。
