北風凜冽,寒氣蝕骨。是日氣温只有攝氏一度,卻無阻病君的身影準時出現在山頭:他穿著單薄的衣褲,孭著背囊,雙腳微抖,一步一艱辛地前行。391Please respect copyright.PENANAZxysqH8pLx
391Please respect copyright.PENANAPbzP6taOuv
花兒不禁心驚膽戰起來——病君可是聞風喪膽的採花賊。他每次到來,務必採滿一背包的花才滿足地離開。每朵被拔走的花都沒能回來……391Please respect copyright.PENANAtu2aJz7ZAb
391Please respect copyright.PENANAOpZM49PLDS
「我才不害怕呢!」小白菊九號在病君面前高聲叫喊,一臉天不怕地不怕。每朵花都笑她裝模作樣——任誰都知道人類是無法聽見花的語言。391Please respect copyright.PENANA1UUPMjyDbj
391Please respect copyright.PENANAxtYLOQ939Q
誰料病君真的停下腳步,四處張望,一副鬼祟的模樣。花兒知道又將會有一朵悲哀的同伴罹難。而這趟遭殃的會是……小白菊九號!病君的慘白大手正伸向她!391Please respect copyright.PENANAKPBlltnWmu
391Please respect copyright.PENANAtfdMbj1K5U
「我才不害怕呢!」她依舊張大小嘴宣示自己的勇敢,挺立,面無懼色。在極度痛楚卻不喊出聲的情況下,小白菊九號莖根分離,被放進病君的背囊裡。391Please respect copyright.PENANABOu8wMFHTo
391Please respect copyright.PENANAvEg16qj6v6
她看見很多花:野白合五千號、黃菊七十九號、牽牛花一萬零九十二號……大家奄奄一息,小小的嘴巴竭力張張合合說出遺願:「我不要離開……」391Please respect copyright.PENANAAUt6qzSTpI
391Please respect copyright.PENANA0RX3s7S92E
哀號聲在漆黑的背囊內迴盪著,倖存的花欲救無從,只能眼巴巴看著同伴被強行擄走。391Please respect copyright.PENANADuVy2sBSAy
這是病君的家。391Please respect copyright.PENANAJi3julZzmX
391Please respect copyright.PENANAHmjoU6UqSU
一室花香。391Please respect copyright.PENANAb29rC9oVgF
391Please respect copyright.PENANA28OQ4PWH5P
小白菊九號甫睜眼便被滿屋的花吸引著。是名副其實的花天花地!391Please respect copyright.PENANAFmTucyvCOt
391Please respect copyright.PENANAw7cEehpdJt
天花板,除了被燈具佔據的位置外,每個方吋都被用小勾掛滿插了花的小小綠色玻璃瓶所佔據。在淡黃燈光照射下,是滿室的草綠,與真正的山頭不遑多讓。391Please respect copyright.PENANABOPfcvQEmV
391Please respect copyright.PENANAggk3Jh04Rr
窗戶,是緊閉的。那塊透薄卻堅硬的窗玻璃後,盡是充滿污染物的空氣。污染物使本來清澈的玻璃變得混濁,意外因此隔絕室外環境的影響,保持一室光明和温暖,好比春天的氣息。391Please respect copyright.PENANAW18SXo8bsT
391Please respect copyright.PENANAqG3zlR0fIo
地,是綠色的人造草皮,非單沒有刺鼻的塑膠味,反而散發出彷真度極高的青草香。假草的柔軟度不俗,光著腳板踏上去亦不會感覺刺癢。391Please respect copyright.PENANAfCvgbxfZl4
391Please respect copyright.PENANAlZjVzoke3D
這小小的一人單位彷彿大自然的縮影。391Please respect copyright.PENANA11VoH43UPP
391Please respect copyright.PENANAP3P6W0G0RM
小白菊九號被安插在屋隅的泥堆。泥堆在窗的旁邊,小白菊九號因而能夠吸收到充足的日光,苟延殘喘。她漸漸從驚恐中鎮靜過來,仔細打量病君——十七、八歲的小伙子,傳統型文質彬彬的孱弱書生,偶爾咳嗽,使美麗的屋子充隱滲著出不安。391Please respect copyright.PENANAHWcVYaV8aj
391Please respect copyright.PENANAUvY8hlN7ax
「會否有其他人類到來?」小白菊九號問立在旁邊的野玫瑰八十三號,暗暗盤算逃亡大計。野玫瑰八十三號悲傷搖頭,似是答「沒有」,也似為小白菊九號的妄想而嘆息。391Please respect copyright.PENANAHobWZ8N7Ud
391Please respect copyright.PENANAvUPhRanznm
「你不想離開?」小白菊九號不解野玫瑰八十三號的反應,只見它一再搖頭。391Please respect copyright.PENANAQpPScLTrJb
病君的生活作息規律得乏味——起床、澆花、施肥、吃飯、洗澡、睡覺——雖生猶死,生死無異。病君經常傻痴痴地望向窗外,目光呆滯:「我為何要生存?」391Please respect copyright.PENANA0vEbL65MzD
391Please respect copyright.PENANAtGJlM3wN4J
「他們把我當作甚麼?」忿恨及無奈。391Please respect copyright.PENANAZcHC6guJSm
391Please respect copyright.PENANATzKPDRJsoz
「你們可不同。」物極必反,轉為喜悅。391Please respect copyright.PENANAMk7sAulRXm
391Please respect copyright.PENANAf2vePccSKH
「日日夜夜陪伴我。」內心温暖得很。391Please respect copyright.PENANAZrWQzqNQvM
391Please respect copyright.PENANArpaT1IgP4Q
「這才是一家人嘛!」他從心底的快樂起來。391Please respect copyright.PENANAAICdrMjZHV
391Please respect copyright.PENANAPjdREZQEpJ
「很希望能夠成為你們的一分子!」衷心的一句令所有花兒感動感慨。391Please respect copyright.PENANAnY0zc4btnI
391Please respect copyright.PENANAwjnv5n4OXu
「伴著大家,我重拾生存目標。」他的生命場正急速擴展。391Please respect copyright.PENANAQULvMvWwxP
391Please respect copyright.PENANAVoeJqjJicR
「生命力,只會在你們身上散發出來。」雙眼炯炯有神。391Please respect copyright.PENANAYvTa1YYNvk
391Please respect copyright.PENANAAKUyNSoydL
「雖是無聲無息,但我知道你們聽到我的話,是嗎?」他轉過頭來,花兒都看見他明亮眼眸泛起淚光。391Please respect copyright.PENANAtqET6ZIlOf
391Please respect copyright.PENANAc5gm9rkWYj
「答我……答我……」他嗚咽起來,像個失去媽媽的三歲小孩。391Please respect copyright.PENANA8WXDcH38Yl
391Please respect copyright.PENANANgJD244k7Q
小白菊九號內心戚戚然。向來大情大性的她不禁高聲回應:「是!我聽到你的心底話,完全了解明白!」391Please respect copyright.PENANAebpkukbnbT
391Please respect copyright.PENANAA0bRpviHZD
全場花兒哄堂大笑:哪有這麼笨的花?明知人類聽不見也要回應!震天的笑聲使小白菊九號羞極落淚。391Please respect copyright.PENANA5UgBKXuoNB
391Please respect copyright.PENANAZdPSVmKwzs
「謝謝你!小白菊九號。」這驚人的一句是出自病君的口。小屋內頓時鴉雀無聲,甚至有部分花朵被嚇至枯萎。小白菊九號與病君相視而笑,為著找到心靈的另一半。391Please respect copyright.PENANAVVzURoJoaU
馬路上,車來車往,水洩不通。行人路上同樣人山人海,卻是出奇的靜。人人戴上口罩,不敢開口說話,遑論展露笑容。空氣是非一般的污濁,塵埃遮天蔽日。391Please respect copyright.PENANAIflwegu14P
391Please respect copyright.PENANAl3rMouJ3bM
街上,除了汽車的噪音外,唯一的雜音是來自病君。他正被小白菊九號的說話逗得咧嘴大笑。391Please respect copyright.PENANAs7zEZCCiyT
391Please respect copyright.PENANAHGYg3AXhCZ
這口袋插著小白菊的孱弱男生,口鼻吸著漫天飛揚的塵埃,然後大咳、大笑,再吸再咳再笑……一眾途人只覺他發神經,紛紛避開行為怪異的他。有誰想過他快樂得很?找到心靈的另一半,是不少人夢寐以求的事,哪管對方只是一朵花!391Please respect copyright.PENANAZU2lJZy7Qk
391Please respect copyright.PENANAWAEOFPPz8E
空氣污染令小白菊九號的花瓣變黑,烏亮的黑,如青絲。天生白色的她認為自己只是模仿人類女生化妝穿衣,與心儀的男生逛街。因著相伴時的快樂,她開始愛上黑色,覺得自己美得很,濃豔的、世故的美。她自覺是世上最美的花,因著黑色的美,也因著心靈的另一半。391Please respect copyright.PENANAETcqqYSz6N
391Please respect copyright.PENANALcHX3o9fad
回家。一室花香。病君把小白菊九號放到涼水滿溢的浴缸中,為她洗走身上的塵埃,現出白如珍珠的純樸美。病君的皮膚同樣白晳,他笑說這是為了襯托小白菊九號。任誰都知道這不是健康的白,如死屍的慘白。病君褪去衣褲,跳到浴缸中浸浴。他不怕冷,他經常以為自己已在夢中死去,身體冰冷得僵硬,血液不再運行……391Please respect copyright.PENANAi68A8PvEp6
391Please respect copyright.PENANALdtqIItxlf
這是小白菊九號首次看見人類的裸體。她有意無意漂近病君,仔細感受人類的特質——溫暖,像春日的微風;軟韌,如生命力頑強的攀藤植物;靈活,似覓食的鳥兒、求生的蟲子……多麼奇妙!他不但擁有多種生物的特質,更有一雙情感滿滿的漂亮眼眸。小白菊九號開始渴求永遠。391Please respect copyright.PENANAetHoOdHcHq
391Please respect copyright.PENANAW7S3YdYb1w
普通小白菊壽命短暫,被連根拔起的小白菊九號能生存數月已是一個驚世奇蹟。死亡陰影不時縈迴於她的心頭。她不願死去,因為捨不得病君——一個無意地把它推向死亡的人。391Please respect copyright.PENANA107yGPxigx
391Please respect copyright.PENANAYpNuo1eUwl
頓時,死亡陰影籠罩整個浴室,彌漫在兩個垂死生物心中。391Please respect copyright.PENANA0kUBQLlKVh
「根據教科書,生物有七個死物沒有的特徵:『呼吸』、『運動』、『排泄』、『生殖』、『感應』、『生長』及『營養』。我擁有以上七個特徵,但為何我並不覺得自己是『人』?」病君躺在床上,笑問插在泥土堆上的小白菊九號。391Please respect copyright.PENANABmHIOEBqyt
391Please respect copyright.PENANAfFSQhYNv4g
小白菊九號可不是甚麼聰明的傢伙,毫不察覺病君神色有異,沒頭沒腦的反問道:「這是智力題嗎?」391Please respect copyright.PENANArbS5aoPNtY
391Please respect copyright.PENANAJwCpjaiwgS
病君沒答話。391Please respect copyright.PENANAejgvjfPyrS
391Please respect copyright.PENANAJeBxEBjC4R
小白菊九號自顧自地猜起來:391Please respect copyright.PENANACsM1JXINky
391Please respect copyright.PENANAynHJgrl0H9
「因為教科書說謊。」391Please respect copyright.PENANAgd8aiAFTTq
391Please respect copyright.PENANAQncgsDpMsJ

391Please respect copyright.PENANARhen3CfTMS
……391Please respect copyright.PENANAE7gAQ1zs0p
391Please respect copyright.PENANAcWQ4InnMJV
小白菊九號猜個沒完沒了,病君傻笑不止。直至小白菊九號說:「『人』和『生物』沒有必然關係!」391Please respect copyright.PENANAHVr9Yc5YtL
391Please respect copyright.PENANAXpzGgWoMGc
病君的笑聲剎那間凝住。小白菊九號沒再猜下去,因為她看見眼淚的反光。391Please respect copyright.PENANAELGyqGb5nZ
391Please respect copyright.PENANA9i4qXMVbRA
「我自小喜愛花,因為我聽得見花語。走在山頭,聽見花兒的閒聊話和笑聲,我不禁驚嘆花兒是大自然中最神奇的生物。我告訴大家我聽到花語。391Please respect copyright.PENANAMAYzUWNWPj
391Please respect copyright.PENANA2HOLZr4im0
大家笑了笑,沒有離開我,但也沒有接受我。口裡仍舊說愛我,目光卻不再一樣。他們認為我思想不健全,是個瘋子,不該待我如常人——我被判定失去當人的資格。391Please respect copyright.PENANAVGKj4neXxg
391Please respect copyright.PENANAa7oRXFXaaN
我傷心。我憤怒。我開始每天採花,把花帶回家中。我要每天都聽到花折時的嚎哭悲鳴。花使我眾叛親離,我也要花不得好死!」391Please respect copyright.PENANAgbRMMBQBxG
391Please respect copyright.PENANATUqlf0lnOs
「不!你不是瘋子!大自然無奇不有。懂花語有何出奇?那些人類大驚小怪而已。人類也是孕育於大自然,你們的文明當初對我們這些花不也是個出奇事嗎?世上的一切文明純粹是人類的妄想。人類總有衰亡的一天。大自然卻是生生不息、重生。這才是大自然生命力的真諦!」391Please respect copyright.PENANActW844EmLd
391Please respect copyright.PENANAS9QEV26s6P
小白菊九號極力安慰病君,毫不介懷他當初對她的摧殘,正如大自然從不在意人類對它的破壞與輕視。391Please respect copyright.PENANApaMn26CRRO
早,一室花香,是小白菊九號留給病君的最後禮物。391Please respect copyright.PENANAARHRWmbviI
391Please respect copyright.PENANAmvOjLwH1F0
她死了。391Please respect copyright.PENANALYWkCKx0mC
391Please respect copyright.PENANAaCLqvwgPMD
一切實在太突然。391Please respect copyright.PENANAU5HCXUTrMX
391Please respect copyright.PENANAs9rZSKLOnK
大自然不是生生不息的嗎?怎麼她會死掉?391Please respect copyright.PENANAjhotYGDUAs
391Please respect copyright.PENANAYfJdkEYRtC
靈魂的再度不完全把病君推入瘋狂狀態。他圍繞著花屍來回踱步,猛唸:「生生不息……生生不息……」391Please respect copyright.PENANAUn4nitLOYv
391Please respect copyright.PENANAvxhK08kYtE
「它的確死了。」與小白菊為鄰多日的鬱金香二百零一號說,用瀕死的眼神望向病君。391Please respect copyright.PENANAP9z40ugEvh
391Please respect copyright.PENANAw5JeY8fYjq
病君抬頭,大喝:「你說甚麼?她不會死的!」391Please respect copyright.PENANAcEhjLi6l51
391Please respect copyright.PENANApjszI9m8xt
鬱金香二百零一號失控邪笑、大笑。它在笑病君傻,竟會相信小白菊九號那套所謂的真諦!自己是花也不會相信!它歇斯底里地笑著,回想前幾天風華正荗的自己,被這麼一個瘋子採摘掉,將要和老死的小白菊九號一樣,去得無聲無色。它不甘心……鬱金香二百零一號就這麼笑死了,至死當刻仍然笑著。它的靈魂冉冉飛昇,依然狂笑著,彷彿尚未死去。391Please respect copyright.PENANAOeWy41sAB8
391Please respect copyright.PENANAbKAgK91TAf
病君靈機一動,緊抓著靈魂,隨它飛昇。391Please respect copyright.PENANAQFFmrpTggK
391Please respect copyright.PENANAvLp5vJdjr6
蔚藍的天頓時變得漆黑,太陽失去光芒,白晝變得比黑夜更陰沉。許多白色的靈魂飄浮在半空。樹靈佔空間最多,根部無盡伸延,舖天蓋地,相互交纏,成為其他生物靈魂的棲息處。魚兒游走葉間,與鳥兒爭巢爭食;小草植根樹幹,任由恐龍及其他生物靈魂踐踏;好奇的動物輕易步入雲間,把玩這曾高高在上的白色東西……391Please respect copyright.PENANAc20Z05Yq11
391Please respect copyright.PENANA6bOksiH7Me
人類的靈魂呢?他們沒幹啥,或飄或浮,反襯出動植物的生命力。391Please respect copyright.PENANA0PkvJxXKzh
391Please respect copyright.PENANAMHYBT8t4wB
「我們死了,完了。」一個男人喃喃碎碎唸,失焦目光掃視眼前超乎人類認知的畫面。他看似在沉思,也似是放空腦袋。他突然回過神來,發現病君不知何時出現在身邊,大吃一驚,厲聲斥喝:「你為何會在這裡?這不是你到來的地方!」391Please respect copyright.PENANAY3Ff4kCjpA
391Please respect copyright.PENANA4P0HKhxsGD
「我在找小白菊九號。」話音甫落,眼前的一切瞬間消失,復而是無盡的黑暗。驀地,憑空出現一道暗黑色的光,照亮了亦加深了漆黑。在漆黑的盡頭,一陣花香飄來。是小白菊九號的氣味。391Please respect copyright.PENANA41IonfRtHg
391Please respect copyright.PENANAtrbgwbY6KA
「小白菊九號!」病君激動大叫。391Please respect copyright.PENANAbZqjNQz0N0
391Please respect copyright.PENANAaHRPDGLwfX
小白菊來了,但不是一朵,而是無數的小白菊。它們一下子湧進漆黑的空間,花天花地,整個空間變白了,白得刺眼。391Please respect copyright.PENANAeMJw60CQBd
391Please respect copyright.PENANAMkVmzBmwBu
「我們都是小白菊。」如出一轍的模樣、聲線、氣味、語調,教人心寒。391Please respect copyright.PENANAOEYUxTtxVS
391Please respect copyright.PENANA3bjWjLSc6H
「不!她是唯一的!」病君反駁,近乎咆哮。391Please respect copyright.PENANALcg3fm2IeX

「我們都是真正的小白菊。」它們異口同聲,彷如一體。391Please respect copyright.PENANALp4BzmZQMH

病君困惑了,無話。391Please respect copyright.PENANAbWLuTpRf7Z

391Please respect copyright.PENANAP8zhjpeoms
眾多輕柔的一句同時在病君的耳邊響起,成為如雷貫耳的梵音。在億萬花語中,病君清楚辨別出那熟悉的腔音:「我是昨夜死的。」391Please respect copyright.PENANAL3xQec0AWv
391Please respect copyright.PENANAdpsabwNo2m
他朝聲音來源走去,懶理腳下的花被踏扁又還原。391Please respect copyright.PENANALvjUHDPcbe
391Please respect copyright.PENANAUNJGyiqulE
病君用手捧起一朵似曾相識的小白菊。他沒有開口說話,心中默唸:「你是我心中的唯一。」391Please respect copyright.PENANA2uriURR6Bs

手心裡的小白菊九號報以微微一笑。391Please respect copyright.PENANAhK1zQ2kbD7

391Please respect copyright.PENANAa879BqxUJf
「不!」病君的靈魂應聲粉碎,散漫於整片花天花地,最後被無形怪力往下吸拉,經過花間隙縫跌回人世。391Please respect copyright.PENANAW5e9E93IW4
391Please respect copyright.PENANAhZ9Mata5g8

頓悟。391Please respect copyright.PENANAbNkALX5V6g

他帶淚將小白菊九號葬於泥堆,繼而埋下種子,讓新生命在小白菊九號的庇蔭下成長。391Please respect copyright.PENANALm3MKtcFZp
391Please respect copyright.PENANA2ehFjWtLfS
小白菊九號的肉身腐化了,化作肥料,進入每粒種子。391Please respect copyright.PENANAoOy8vFUgB7

每粒種子都是小白菊九號的化身,卻又不是病君愛上的小白菊九號。391Please respect copyright.PENANAuOZyYM1DJl

小白菊九號以一個不是自己的姿態重生在病君身邊。391Please respect copyright.PENANAdPRhqpgxpY

病君不再採花。他鼓起勇氣,以一個不是自己的姿態重生於凡塵俗世。
