(1)死325Please respect copyright.PENANAVGb3rtfhNp
325Please respect copyright.PENANA5Qx3nJhofq
他在梳化上猛然醒來。325Please respect copyright.PENANAyLTjPSZ2yH
325Please respect copyright.PENANAdC2TtQa22V
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAQg7hSKPWIV
325Please respect copyright.PENANAop95DdP782
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAWehwZxuWFt
325Please respect copyright.PENANAftvtayfRYr
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAVqaZ9E1lFF
325Please respect copyright.PENANA9uAbJsEfPh
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANANGwCZPA3fy
325Please respect copyright.PENANAS2ZPE0xKCA
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張325Please respect copyright.PENANA3rtCd9C75E
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷325Please respect copyright.PENANA4kttjFzftj
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長325Please respect copyright.PENANA4pWshEZGLI
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量325Please respect copyright.PENANARJQqyQxuEm
325Please respect copyright.PENANAk6KLuaBwOl
小便後,步出浴室,再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。325Please respect copyright.PENANAH8cYgA7al2
325Please respect copyright.PENANABEi3ri2wWm
抵不住。325Please respect copyright.PENANAPzJioaaU1Q
325Please respect copyright.PENANAFvGzstH255
他決定到公園散步。325Please respect copyright.PENANAMRI5wiXrDs
325Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5sI5ZowqJ
望望手錶,是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。325Please respect copyright.PENANAXYZBiKOwxh
325Please respect copyright.PENANA3KdYfGemoZ
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANA5feNUwY1nY
325Please respect copyright.PENANA2wOaWJPb9K
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAVxv9Oyo6JN
325Please respect copyright.PENANAMPRBfuGuD4
他知道自己該要感恩,奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。325Please respect copyright.PENANAlcNzkC3GLa
325Please respect copyright.PENANAIchPEdAomH
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。325Please respect copyright.PENANA5c6Jx0Mqjh
325Please respect copyright.PENANAas0xRCkkOj
樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。325Please respect copyright.PENANANt8QVYhdRB
325Please respect copyright.PENANAW2lA6bUSsE
他不自已憶起亡妻……325Please respect copyright.PENANA5QmrCeDH2z
325Please respect copyright.PENANAd1sGCNe9dz
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAtqZj2XIryk
325Please respect copyright.PENANALraQhqNyUC
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。325Please respect copyright.PENANADTPTGulam4
325Please respect copyright.PENANArlg4SarYYm
「我的腿康復不了,是嗎?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAm6HsaKhHXM
325Please respect copyright.PENANAghKtOqEZOT
「不是。你向來身體強健,這小小傷勢不是大問題。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAPVYQCZbMND
325Please respect copyright.PENANA7PM7kYRbJv
「我何時可以痊癒?我想去探望朋友。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAys6vqMEqRC
325Please respect copyright.PENANAHoTAtmH3Re
「快了、快了。不用著急!」325Please respect copyright.PENANAswxUox0YEd
325Please respect copyright.PENANA7okcctQts3
「即是何時?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAKOUnqOohod
325Please respect copyright.PENANAv3dhv5m93p
「下一個夏天。」325Please respect copyright.PENANANFFzeZdjyX
325Please respect copyright.PENANAXEcCtc3nFo
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAC3sprtJj2k
325Please respect copyright.PENANAb0q3OScgN5
樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。325Please respect copyright.PENANA8pygYAF30H
325Please respect copyright.PENANA65zzF0by3s
感動,明明眼前只有絕望。325Please respect copyright.PENANA4YoA3EjyAj
325Please respect copyright.PENANA86HcNmbnce
她的手忽爾不再無力,牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。325Please respect copyright.PENANAhtOn1Q4dy6
325Please respect copyright.PENANA8A54tdqsT7
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAEHqBx8tIXN
325Please respect copyright.PENANA6L3GPwOSWQ
內心終於安定下來。325Please respect copyright.PENANA1HgkgadYZe
325Please respect copyright.PENANARJFNgLDehl
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』!」325Please respect copyright.PENANAzvVgPGi08s
325Please respect copyright.PENANAVfJXwRvUk4
「但你的血糖……」325Please respect copyright.PENANADL6g5pkvlx
325Please respect copyright.PENANA6gPKNPojmw
「我向來身體強健,這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAgRaOEiaTQ4
325Please respect copyright.PENANAfT2ppRYeYe
他會心一笑,笑她依舊貪吃如豬。325Please respect copyright.PENANAIOjb5PtozJ
325Please respect copyright.PENANAsDFgTDEREr
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAHxdFenWJzl
325Please respect copyright.PENANAdpVh4HxozH
兒子送她一根拐杖。325Please respect copyright.PENANAXI4gfd50OY
325Please respect copyright.PENANAeYoKHwpkVL
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAcUFNp2EzpY
325Please respect copyright.PENANAUIJfFDvaln
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANA0M8HQJg1E4
325Please respect copyright.PENANAEDWvdSHcog
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』!」325Please respect copyright.PENANAjL1uIIkRsF
325Please respect copyright.PENANAnFAMCxWziD
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAle9gVPAc6E
325Please respect copyright.PENANAt4zuCyzCVj
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANALyQfqQBsIQ
325Please respect copyright.PENANApkvRLidu6F
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAvfkWIW3ATV
325Please respect copyright.PENANASqTD5KPxvP
不要緊,反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。325Please respect copyright.PENANAawzPckxFXm
325Please respect copyright.PENANAgrQKu9NWaA
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANA4QD8Aa5eOv
325Please respect copyright.PENANA1E6L7x2ut8
於願足矣。325Please respect copyright.PENANAPCtHdXU1dQ
325Please respect copyright.PENANASptzSol89N
沒過幾天,還未開始探望朋友,她已於睡夢中悄然離世……325Please respect copyright.PENANAEIdwASEBGq
325Please respect copyright.PENANAp67lWWgOHx
公園裡,樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。325Please respect copyright.PENANAQSOKATT2fA
325Please respect copyright.PENANAdSbFCHFNNg
他不動聲息,藏起思念,繼續開步走。325Please respect copyright.PENANAfCsmYhwstz
325Please respect copyright.PENANAARpzasXRjQ
總得走下去,不是嗎?325Please respect copyright.PENANAdDAdJbTd2T
325Please respect copyright.PENANAIOMoHhZST4
不努力走下去,就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。325Please respect copyright.PENANAcVimNtP0Dp
325Please respect copyright.PENANAHHwH4n8Ipi
走到涼亭,看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。325Please respect copyright.PENANAJwjSb9E7H1
325Please respect copyright.PENANAGglEOKHapN
棋局中,事事分明,步步無情。325Please respect copyright.PENANA1meQfdMRlx
325Please respect copyright.PENANAKUGOSo1AJs
他專注觀賽,全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。
(2)病325Please respect copyright.PENANANji3gcbv9C
325Please respect copyright.PENANAmuQfs6WjEz
他在床上徐徐張眼。325Please respect copyright.PENANA98fMbUz0VC
325Please respect copyright.PENANA8cK6gIQiPt
床褥太軟,腰骨微痛。這不是家裡的床。325Please respect copyright.PENANApcegflo8Zv
325Please respect copyright.PENANAT2MzsBT4ep
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAkJQWqw9xLI
325Please respect copyright.PENANA0NI2ia0Jew
嗯。醫院。325Please respect copyright.PENANAALFUJpJVyH
325Please respect copyright.PENANApHKvT4CX1Q
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAbzUHurgHf7
325Please respect copyright.PENANAUpVaNHTSrR
醫生離開後,護士也去忙別的。325Please respect copyright.PENANAEmwAZU4cbY
325Please respect copyright.PENANAqMO7wtSyKo
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?325Please respect copyright.PENANADYfn0jVstC
325Please respect copyright.PENANA2RubUJeMUI
如他所料,兒子在晚上八時許現身。一臉倦容。325Please respect copyright.PENANA5jxEnMgMmx
325Please respect copyright.PENANAEXinqvmFnI
「醫生說我沒大礙。可能是公園太熱,熱昏了。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAKEOTgiJTBg
325Please respect copyright.PENANAKIFTWvpYfy
「那就多待在家裡避暑,不要外出四處走動。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAtwqXmnhvIk
325Please respect copyright.PENANApmPfqP39PA
「知道。」325Please respect copyright.PENANARJF0CmUXUW
325Please respect copyright.PENANAw0ftf2WA3V
兒子攙扶他走出醫院,在街邊截下的士,直驅住所。325Please respect copyright.PENANA0vtrkkcqBz
325Please respect copyright.PENANAIdHQv4DwQb
車廂裡,二人不發一言,各自對著窗外景物發愣。325Please respect copyright.PENANAToDmJfIEHK
325Please respect copyright.PENANArbWvwJ9AXh
沒有怨氣或鬱結,只有緩解不了的疲憊。身心俱疲。325Please respect copyright.PENANAIgqswgoKHu
325Please respect copyright.PENANAeVOyI1EAWQ
黃色街燈在夜幕下迅速往後退。一盞、兩盞、三盞……不盡,無窮。325Please respect copyright.PENANAJs1lmxa7f0
325Please respect copyright.PENANAUUr1n6e7b2
兒子倏忽開口,神色惘然。325Please respect copyright.PENANAy3esoMWU9a
325Please respect copyright.PENANAOJ0eBKWp84
「我有末期肝癌,剩半年壽命。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAUbU1v7sOFa
325Please respect copyright.PENANAz1SZuaqHQq
「她知道了沒?」325Please respect copyright.PENANALrEajqpDzp
325Please respect copyright.PENANAfyQocCr0oD
「不打算告訴她。」325Please respect copyright.PENANARDYasdVAhx
325Please respect copyright.PENANAxzcqqJxAWQ
「你如何在她不知情的情況下抽時間接受治療?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAMd5WI0QFyY
325Please respect copyright.PENANAg0Gfi1d8zi
兒子笑而不語。325Please respect copyright.PENANAGSXhifSbTL
325Please respect copyright.PENANAEfkB4tOUWo
他愣住片刻,良久才道:「明白。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAkaiDR1yviV
325Please respect copyright.PENANAKV6sEUWPDK
兒子輕拍他的肩膊,以示感謝。325Please respect copyright.PENANAoeD4hIeJ2F
325Please respect copyright.PENANA4KZHeydVNw
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAcoG5o7XkLm
325Please respect copyright.PENANAsxo7BwBp1L
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAElUdrqchin
325Please respect copyright.PENANApoFRXkBbJG
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANArbCXOlkCDl
325Please respect copyright.PENANATLoSGXvagt
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANASSxLMLKpbz
325Please respect copyright.PENANAZjHvN1qQCh
他決定到公園走走。325Please respect copyright.PENANA5ChLyGq581
325Please respect copyright.PENANAs2Uo3h31fC
樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。325Please respect copyright.PENANACtMEgbm9T9
325Please respect copyright.PENANAXYiywpsQd5
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAjeNuFjR6OF
325Please respect copyright.PENANA3UQETj2K4M
幽幽踏步,皆因內心焦躁。325Please respect copyright.PENANAxuUfoUirr8
325Please respect copyright.PENANAEooo9UyBVP
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANASIrTYqPY5e
325Please respect copyright.PENANAGzbVCLxzr7
全場一片默然。325Please respect copyright.PENANALGFKOPUF4x
325Please respect copyright.PENANA5dMfynoZqP
聊聊笑笑罷。下棋耍樂罷。325Please respect copyright.PENANAL6AtnErEGw
325Please respect copyright.PENANAKVthkaRDZc
不要問為何。不要問感受。325Please respect copyright.PENANAjR3Cly6rMH
325Please respect copyright.PENANA1hwq0v0gPw
有如那樹那鳥那蟲。沒能在意。325Please respect copyright.PENANA3Xxxe0XdJk
325Please respect copyright.PENANA3eTXUGcn7r
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAgESujhbcaW
325Please respect copyright.PENANALsTE08Ne6g
那是今早與他談笑風生的其中一位棋友。325Please respect copyright.PENANATJZq85IpMD
325Please respect copyright.PENANAIECKXzSNzK
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAIe622HKkLP
325Please respect copyright.PENANAT3gD9JR6LZ
他默默將孫兒擁入懷裡。325Please respect copyright.PENANA0FzQzt6fdN
325Please respect copyright.PENANALMxADDHXcn
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAnfMR7qMsr1
325Please respect copyright.PENANAOe9XO70Jeb
「爺爺,很熱啊!」不知袖裡的孫兒輕輕推開他。325Please respect copyright.PENANAuN0SHsVDhe
325Please respect copyright.PENANA5TKhroVrjq
「嗯。」對於眼前一切,他花盡全身力氣發出渺小的一聲。325Please respect copyright.PENANAjSjcYKuovw
325Please respect copyright.PENANA2l1oQxnoVO
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAIViboSBoA4
325Please respect copyright.PENANAONtyBPYCbJ
跳跳跳,有節奏地跳個不停,像心臟。325Please respect copyright.PENANArBwBcGsAzq
325Please respect copyright.PENANAaLla5qGEWa
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?325Please respect copyright.PENANAO3CzHBZsdC
325Please respect copyright.PENANAlpN5fp5nHU
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAkkc7eSwbt1
325Please respect copyright.PENANAvFWuKwAZG2
不復見。325Please respect copyright.PENANAw6o7XBaQ5w
325Please respect copyright.PENANAKsH6w0IVKw
他莫名的被深深憾動。325Please respect copyright.PENANAbjdpjNyuCP
325Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5E2otTmmv
走到兒子身邊,告知棋友的死訊。325Please respect copyright.PENANAZCMa1dOMD8
325Please respect copyright.PENANAszoyKJBDlY
毋須明言,兒子已猜測到他的用意。325Please respect copyright.PENANA31LqvCqfWR
325Please respect copyright.PENANAPQO0ZskIBe
「我不怕死。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAStwWOMrHSU
325Please respect copyright.PENANAGgMMJf2DSi
「我也不怕死——死亡並不可怕,只怕沒能完成想要完成的事。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAY1l0r2ZqRO
325Please respect copyright.PENANAvgySlYLvZM
「你有沒有想要完成的事?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAeXVkpl58zd
325Please respect copyright.PENANAuvq02S3NbX
「每年夏天買『菠蘿油』給你媽。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAvan1xxxsts
325Please respect copyright.PENANAvOJgVQiEm7
「她的叮囑?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAoWC6ZnzOGa
325Please respect copyright.PENANAKwN2zWG4Fk
「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。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAtzcowAMw8w
325Please respect copyright.PENANARYW68a7LqL
「別傻!她不願看見你耿耿於懷!」325Please respect copyright.PENANAOKHl1nx0fe
325Please respect copyright.PENANA2NXoYb1R1h
「她沒這麼說。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAT9tWZ1EZ1u
325Please respect copyright.PENANABIZGZuEUKe
兒子苦笑,笑他彆扭。325Please respect copyright.PENANAEFK2osaCro
325Please respect copyright.PENANAeaKR6KpXFk
再次不了了之?他以為是,直至夜半聞得媳婦哭聲不絕。325Please respect copyright.PENANAZhLDOVpqG3
325Please respect copyright.PENANAug9fkg0Jx8
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAci6XOcMRaw
325Please respect copyright.PENANABQ41eoKdhV
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAaE8ROp3cGl
325Please respect copyright.PENANAuMocohF6Ap
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAsD5FHa83yz
325Please respect copyright.PENANABKLIJAgxj0
離開醫院、歸家路上,兒子和他拐到公園散步去。325Please respect copyright.PENANAYw0RBssetK
325Please respect copyright.PENANAU8n97DfmbE
樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。325Please respect copyright.PENANABKpmVWoPUg
325Please respect copyright.PENANAg9HopnsquS
「你多活了三年半。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAKsl3tFnvMb
325Please respect copyright.PENANAG6fVNQ0eSu
「我多吃了三個『菠蘿油』。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAoO6yg6ipJS
325Please respect copyright.PENANAJcXmIzf2ka
「想繼續吃?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAD8dtjr73lR
325Please respect copyright.PENANAw0zQmlxL6f
「是。期待下一個夏天。」325Please respect copyright.PENANA6uowHXEMc6
325Please respect copyright.PENANA8kqAle1aWJ
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANA2PxtmiRjXq
325Please respect copyright.PENANAx4NrcbMn0E
他為兒子衷心高興著,亦感謝上蒼的好生之德,沒有帶走……325Please respect copyright.PENANAgW5CWPlIOX
325Please respect copyright.PENANARiBIu8hGlj
兒子呢?325Please respect copyright.PENANAbStUL8srDs
325Please respect copyright.PENANAT2TvcdAlh1
悉才尚在身邊的兒子不見蹤影。325Please respect copyright.PENANA8EC67UoB8B
325Please respect copyright.PENANA9KDY7z6VhM
啊!記起來了。325Please respect copyright.PENANAnmvqDklyM8
325Please respect copyright.PENANAVhBzm3fNEh
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAVNG9PMxStC
325Please respect copyright.PENANABkaZ9P3cVY
果然。325Please respect copyright.PENANA31tWdrSt1Y
325Please respect copyright.PENANAT911s9aW4n
不努力走下去,就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。325Please respect copyright.PENANAW9g5OiV3dN
325Please respect copyright.PENANAhTEh7M6tM2
婆娑樹影之下、鳥叫蟲鳴之中,他繼續走。325Please respect copyright.PENANA1nCsT8VeYr
325Please respect copyright.PENANAeRZL0xAHgb
幽幽踏步慢慢走。
(3)老325Please respect copyright.PENANADUaPE8p4zE
325Please respect copyright.PENANAXDyu2texYh
他在搖搖椅上猛然醒來。325Please respect copyright.PENANAx5KcnnFBUU
325Please respect copyright.PENANAVJEtnbmCE3
望望掛鐘,七時半。該要喚醒孫兒。325Please respect copyright.PENANAuHE3rOLni2
325Please respect copyright.PENANAtTJuO7XIGw
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANABwnJetLmvd
325Please respect copyright.PENANAp66o8IRMr4
若有所失。325Please respect copyright.PENANAkmInP4diyU
325Please respect copyright.PENANAch6CeDTGNy
到公園散心吧。325Please respect copyright.PENANA7q8L4QibHx
325Please respect copyright.PENANALMw8He0kN3
公園裡,美好回憶俯拾皆是。325Please respect copyright.PENANA5rsS450r44
325Please respect copyright.PENANA9VWKFYqUUe
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANA1GIEEu9Vzc
325Please respect copyright.PENANAH1AFawHwB8
離開緩步徑,闖入樹林。325Please respect copyright.PENANArMNqONcrAE

找樹。找到那樹。325Please respect copyright.PENANAHNzwvhoO3k
325Please respect copyright.PENANAqtzjnJ8dwI
不,不是它——因著樹身變得粗壯,刻記模糊難辨。325Please respect copyright.PENANAmiVrb2vyGI
325Please respect copyright.PENANAJB208YmClI
此樹不是當年那樹,正如現時的自己亦不是當年的自己。325Please respect copyright.PENANAWm8Y8uzfUm
325Please respect copyright.PENANADDRwYC6eB1
長大、老去、病倒、死亡,無論願意不願意。325Please respect copyright.PENANAsUiQO86w9x
325Please respect copyright.PENANAxh0QX4Qt58
不願意。325Please respect copyright.PENANAf7X6RQQjHS
325Please respect copyright.PENANA64JQ4oIe3J
想逃。325Please respect copyright.PENANAvKiMEDBp6K
325Please respect copyright.PENANAFLECq8duLK
逃!325Please respect copyright.PENANANfseqFoktO
325Please respect copyright.PENANAtMD1VCy80G
逃出樹林。325Please respect copyright.PENANAqEaSqb4q1f
325Please respect copyright.PENANA50aAtnTzYW
彷如隔世。325Please respect copyright.PENANAlblvHhdgCz
325Please respect copyright.PENANALgQt6796cn
陽光刺眼,氣溫熬人。不是回憶裡的現實。325Please respect copyright.PENANA3gdVe1JOlK
325Please respect copyright.PENANAlTis6VWrVx
倏忽忘了路,忘了如何走下去……325Please respect copyright.PENANAw7MFsuF3DT
325Please respect copyright.PENANAC0vbhUyk13
一青年步入警署。325Please respect copyright.PENANAxL3JvgUlHL
325Please respect copyright.PENANAuJKlMJ6BxS
「你是誰?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAhrBh7PFrZ2
325Please respect copyright.PENANAq29V9uR9JA
「我是你的孫兒。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAThuzdiPrLF
325Please respect copyright.PENANAOPbpaLJUXB
「嗯……」325Please respect copyright.PENANAQa0XGMEEi0
325Please respect copyright.PENANA9QGBJUCzIh
「爺爺,回家吧。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAlpYTHR4Jw4
325Please respect copyright.PENANASF56FHQVOa
「嗯……」325Please respect copyright.PENANA9DbSDa4syy
325Please respect copyright.PENANA0uZUBF18Nc
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANASpzcs0Oqlf
325Please respect copyright.PENANAUs3PaA9ViU
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAlQWKdqMKkJ
325Please respect copyright.PENANAsJHYuJ74Am
是否忘記了甚麼?325Please respect copyright.PENANA3laa0DbFMR
325Please respect copyright.PENANARmub0ziGtv
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?325Please respect copyright.PENANAh8LGXkgt7F
325Please respect copyright.PENANAlI2xYcZjfV
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?325Please respect copyright.PENANAzaNFs6e8Um
325Please respect copyright.PENANAzXG5k4vSux
激動。拍拍拍,踢踢踢,吵吵吵。325Please respect copyright.PENANA3exVYVZ3DH
325Please respect copyright.PENANApjN7TGIOvF
「快開門!我要跟你聊天!快開門!來!快開門!」325Please respect copyright.PENANARUG0uZbH5N
325Please respect copyright.PENANAeoKHxpr3jO
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAm3Pb0WcCPM
325Please respect copyright.PENANAZfkLFOjw3T
「爸爸不在房間裡。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAjRnP81XBvh

「你騙我!他一定在裡面!」325Please respect copyright.PENANAXAXAYHyRNR

「爺爺,你看看掛鐘——爸爸尚未下班,還在公司。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAH9cgpJM37u
325Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZTWTIcyYN
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……325Please respect copyright.PENANAhHpDrxBRUc
325Please respect copyright.PENANATdDSUwldU1
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。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAPTniGYqwjy
325Please respect copyright.PENANAK7pFyewpgi
公園裡,美好回憶俯拾皆是。325Please respect copyright.PENANAKOJttvWgeb
325Please respect copyright.PENANAScAL0vcRQY
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……325Please respect copyright.PENANAFHK0RWa5Ff
325Please respect copyright.PENANAr3AxTszKe6
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANARKxxFnoDsD
325Please respect copyright.PENANAxP2camz4Fr
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……325Please respect copyright.PENANAUVmReBc6Jh
325Please respect copyright.PENANAJOHf6aTcTI
他輕拍孫兒肩膀。325Please respect copyright.PENANAb7C3Wb3hs7

325Please respect copyright.PENANAPSzNRZKM1H
「嗯,我知道了……」325Please respect copyright.PENANAHZSRW5Z1gM
325Please respect copyright.PENANA9gpNWA0Riy
孫兒唯唯諾諾,以假笑作結。325Please respect copyright.PENANAlIbJ5wnZPR
325Please respect copyright.PENANA7k7b1JF7rK
結伴走了又一段路。325Please respect copyright.PENANACXb8pl5oX1
325Please respect copyright.PENANAL4QhPoL6sS
他望望孫兒——像曾經的兒子,也像曾經的他。325Please respect copyright.PENANAEMC0bPPlmA
325Please respect copyright.PENANAEC7cLTVtUy
憶起關於兒子的一切,憶起關於自己的一切。325Please respect copyright.PENANAcatNeh9gS0
325Please respect copyright.PENANAbVEYpguGwP
希望孫身兒能夠好好活下去,活得比兒子好,活得比他好。325Please respect copyright.PENANAvy1nlK8Gpc
325Please respect copyright.PENANA0lZ6YwJbI1
絕不能重覆亡妻與兒子的錯誤,留下一堆永遠沒解的執著予孫兒。325Please respect copyright.PENANAMhEikimJ8S

「對於考試也好、爺爺也好,如果你累了,就乾脆放下吧!」325Please respect copyright.PENANAta9A2rz0Nk
325Please respect copyright.PENANAllSaIDEMYN
他淡然一笑,笑孫兒長高長肉不長大。325Please respect copyright.PENANAvxSTMNBjlj
325Please respect copyright.PENANAnRUNZiZMXD
孫兒傻了眼——他是真瘋或是假傻?325Please respect copyright.PENANANDjo0VKAHl
325Please respect copyright.PENANAyCvhL2Ut00
沒待孫兒辨清真假,他已然幽幽踏步開步走。325Please respect copyright.PENANAfVdk7aCWTM
325Please respect copyright.PENANA06zKpGDZol
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAAZD7jX0aof
325Please respect copyright.PENANAV86N7JtSrt
佝僂身影幽幽遠去,沒入婆娑樹影當中不復見。325Please respect copyright.PENANAOuYAqWMR0P
325Please respect copyright.PENANANKNZK9SDBw
鳥繼續叫,蟲繼續鳴,不過往後的夏天從此走了調。325Please respect copyright.PENANAyEVKz46Nfu
325Please respect copyright.PENANAsSXUpG6Pp9
沒有在意的人,沒有在意自己的人,無論願意不願意。325Please respect copyright.PENANAEzCiF61CmV
325Please respect copyright.PENANAgMN2lLhvNs
幽幽踏步慢慢走。慢慢記起很多,慢慢忘記很多。325Please respect copyright.PENANA6FDQqCnn6z
325Please respect copyright.PENANAWTFFRvh4bK
忘記為何自己會獨自一人走在樹林當中。325Please respect copyright.PENANAPyX8ZmGmJ5
325Please respect copyright.PENANAo3fhJcMF0F
找樹?找不到那樹。325Please respect copyright.PENANAMFeHdXKzk8

長大、老去、病倒、死亡,無論願意不願意。325Please respect copyright.PENANA5A7d1R12V8
325Please respect copyright.PENANAWMuPm0eYkV
願意。325Please respect copyright.PENANAPM2pFJ8q5N
325Please respect copyright.PENANACFJWSBFyIB
無謂白花力氣去逃避。無人能夠逃過生老病死。325Please respect copyright.PENANAMdti3r0mST
325Please respect copyright.PENANA1cdE8SVWXB
身累,心累。就此停下來,可以嗎……325Please respect copyright.PENANAuCXbiDp3XT
325Please respect copyright.PENANAXHpMDGAD0G
一青年步入醫院。325Please respect copyright.PENANA8hFlOKWHlC

「嗯……」
(4)生325Please respect copyright.PENANAyznH9ewbuC
325Please respect copyright.PENANAZhfowCqm46
他在輪椅上猛然醒來。325Please respect copyright.PENANAFvu1qqtjiM
325Please respect copyright.PENANA3puaM57SYh
樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。325Please respect copyright.PENANA0kphSbyDvQ

爺孫二人身處公園大道上。325Please respect copyright.PENANAp8uM6c0RnE

「口渴嗎?來,喝些許清水吧!」325Please respect copyright.PENANAJchHEcXjbJ
325Please respect copyright.PENANAL1jPXR93Tk
孫兒停步,從背囊掏出保溫水壺,欠身將插於壺嘴的飲管置於他雙唇之間。325Please respect copyright.PENANAXMMPP0hB7F
325Please respect copyright.PENANAn3TU3nTOi9
他沒有吸吮。325Please respect copyright.PENANAlOcwHZYXW1
325Please respect copyright.PENANAsCOvvpoPb9
孫兒保持這姿勢好一會,惟見他沒反應,也只好收起水壺。325Please respect copyright.PENANAeqlffhGIkH
325Please respect copyright.PENANAjzz6XT0yDU
罷。325Please respect copyright.PENANAE5oHKDoWkO
325Please respect copyright.PENANAshX3NRITJI
樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。325Please respect copyright.PENANAeH9V7XaGS2
325Please respect copyright.PENANAVgmjuYOpmM
他覺得這地方很眼熟,卻又苦苦想不起更多關於這地方的回憶。325Please respect copyright.PENANAZISRu5agLe
325Please respect copyright.PENANAeCicNZR5c2
不要緊。325Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2VsAzGw5J
325Please respect copyright.PENANAfiqnqG3OeF
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAFnEw849rTc
325Please respect copyright.PENANAl2ay5JUbu8
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAFPL7l1ULFU
325Please respect copyright.PENANAau58D7ErC8
嘴角輕揚。325Please respect copyright.PENANAAIhDtSvway

三。325Please respect copyright.PENANA7CCyiSg1c1
325Please respect copyright.PENANApT3whhy9Gk
那抹難以察覺的微笑僅維持了三秒。325Please respect copyright.PENANAcR86KCJAMz
325Please respect copyright.PENANAO4QASeDA9H
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAuOugFp25mJ
325Please respect copyright.PENANA9TbL7OPPOc
要緊的,不再要緊。325Please respect copyright.PENANAHJnYaMYPxb

樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。325Please respect copyright.PENANAECn3jzwzTX
325Please respect copyright.PENANA8KKlBHdD2W
循著鳥蟲之聲,他的眼珠子微微往上瞄。葉間隙縫的陽光誘人卻刺眼。325Please respect copyright.PENANATtI8NVV9O4
325Please respect copyright.PENANAiV90ikzDCZ
輪椅一直前進,映入眼簾的紛亂光影不斷交替、退去、消失。325Please respect copyright.PENANAZZJYKiOffq
325Please respect copyright.PENANAB3b1mvJd8u
在最後的最後,他眼前只餘一盞佇立於公園外的交通燈。325Please respect copyright.PENANAokeM2fJaUW
325Please respect copyright.PENANAO4WN5j6Zn6
紅燈。325Please respect copyright.PENANA3fIZ5lYhyx

325Please respect copyright.PENANABCeu7VfnGa
「爺爺,你會怪責我嗎?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAz2gkgnesbV
325Please respect copyright.PENANAM9mgHxRs9U
孫兒問空氣,縱使知道空氣沒能回應。325Please respect copyright.PENANA7xvnKnszLz
325Please respect copyright.PENANAuFeKChUyCr
綠燈。325Please respect copyright.PENANAXPDC5vw3lK
325Please respect copyright.PENANAevLuvxzA00
「爺爺,放心。我會努力繼續走。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAnXLImy0Gqu
325Please respect copyright.PENANAqSyJg2OqoR
孫兒抿抿雙唇,藏起憂思,推著輪椅開步走。325Please respect copyright.PENANAp91diZTuBa
325Please respect copyright.PENANADvEJzWivpu
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。325Please respect copyright.PENANAK3ODAN4Sa3
325Please respect copyright.PENANAVff7HZr1us
這是從他身上學懂的。325Please respect copyright.PENANARsrZHvHIty
325Please respect copyright.PENANAE4rscnpuWe
一生受用。325Please respect copyright.PENANAmjdWIwpYIA
325Please respect copyright.PENANAN5aMOY052S
「爺爺,謝謝你。」325Please respect copyright.PENANATYmwhdpseL
325Please respect copyright.PENANAPBcIuxBBcq
孫兒的話猶如耳邊風,進不了他的耳,到不了他的心。325Please respect copyright.PENANABE3vZbkj19
325Please respect copyright.PENANAPleQd1eSXh
要緊的,其實不要緊。325Please respect copyright.PENANAzEqKOWQvOr
325Please respect copyright.PENANAXb1wKg9glu
罷。325Please respect copyright.PENANALMNCUbDhpu
325Please respect copyright.PENANAsCefDQ0zLh
他被送上安老院專車。325Please respect copyright.PENANAjQDhHmosBN
325Please respect copyright.PENANACphrCRZhKi
車窗外,無光街燈迅速往後退。一盞、兩盞、三盞……不盡,無窮。325Please respect copyright.PENANANOdmnPswCy
325Please respect copyright.PENANAO0ugHBLDAP
腦海裡,無數樹影鳥蟲交替、退去、消失。325Please respect copyright.PENANANq7jKMBEym
325Please respect copyright.PENANAamSw65DXx7
他被動地遠離昔日一切。325Please respect copyright.PENANAj7Dw2k9y1l
325Please respect copyright.PENANAiEjGwNy85o
要緊的,不再要緊。325Please respect copyright.PENANAt47SOm99nH
325Please respect copyright.PENANA6sObqokBdG
他克盡己任,沒有遺憾。325Please respect copyright.PENANA55Crkj1idG
325Please respect copyright.PENANAFjHFcUd6m5
他忘記前塵,沒有執著。325Please respect copyright.PENANATVJ7AJZfBt
325Please respect copyright.PENANAU5zZJeJt2B
有如被踐踏的梳化,有如被點燃的香菸,有如被吞吃的「菠蘿油」。325Please respect copyright.PENANAOOcvG47na7

毫不在意未來的每個夏日。

***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。
