陽光雖有雪中送炭之效,為大地及人們帶來溫暖,但地上的積雪並不為之領情,一一往外反射銀光耀眼的白光以作婉拒,讓行走在雪地上的人們完全沒法睜開眼睛,摸白行走。747Please respect copyright.PENANAVpVI01WHFU
747Please respect copyright.PENANA5R7HhnyRLF
陡峭的山路,纏腳的厚雪,再加上白茫茫一片的視野,書生實在是吃不消三管齊下的衝擊,只好找來一棵樹冠足以遮蓋自己的大樹坐下稍息,待陽光勢頭減退後再作起程上路。747Please respect copyright.PENANAzBR0Hgprte
747Please respect copyright.PENANAwd9b8Xu9HN
休息其間,他從背包裡拿起一大塊光酥餅,往又凍又硬的餅塊大口咬下去,腦海不自覺的對燕京市作出一系列的幻想。747Please respect copyright.PENANAnw48CNjTAB
747Please respect copyright.PENANAJUP7sWBZQf
書生雖未曾到訪燕京市,但在雁津市中亦有所聽聞燕京市有著美食之都的稱譽,大江南北各省的菜式均能在那裡品嚐得到。747Please respect copyright.PENANAQvgjmwPQIG
他個人酷愛麵食,曾向說書人打聽得知燕京麵館的紅燒鹿肉麵絕對是必試之選,廚師們會在野生捕獲的花雕鈴鹿右腿大脾肉塗上秘製醬汁,放在柴火焗爐高溫旋轉烤焗,配以爽口彈牙的手工麵及熱騰騰的高湯上菜。747Please respect copyright.PENANALzkaqbrIhp
747Please respect copyright.PENANAhitgGK05zX
有坊間傳言說,當今天子為了一嚐此麵不惜微服出巡,吃下一口後隨即大聲讚好,書興大起,執筆提字「不吃此麵非好漢」,而那副字畫現時正表在麵館牆上的當眼位置,成為了麵館的生招牌。747Please respect copyright.PENANAawe2pAmhuA
747Please respect copyright.PENANAr8DPQiSlEa
只不過,這到底是有所其事還是純屬生意人招生意的技倆,那就無從稽考及得知了。747Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4Owyb22mw
747Please respect copyright.PENANAOYfdEhh3M7
「大概還有一時辰半左右的步程,我便能一試鹿肉麵的廬山真面目了!」747Please respect copyright.PENANAMyhgtkkv6Q
沉醉在美食的暇想之中,書生不經意間便把大半塊光酥餅吃進肚裡,肚子已擠得七成飽有多。747Please respect copyright.PENANAZrWRYzGJLo
747Please respect copyright.PENANAGB1r1cO3fB
正想把乾糧收回背包之際,他右手不經意碰起背包裡的那把金色匕首,百般思緒滿在心頭。747Please respect copyright.PENANA5WiUnLDTaW
747Please respect copyright.PENANAHlcNxraw0Q
「不知道她的境況又是如何呢.....」747Please respect copyright.PENANAub7kZywHxx
747Please respect copyright.PENANAKbssZHt8bh
賭物思人,書生不禁回想起約一時辰前所發生的種種驚心動魄場面。747Please respect copyright.PENANAkyg9QWiF9T

兩名血汗駿馬在騎師的鞭策之下,以奔馳之勢牽引兩節扣在一起的車廂越過崎嶇的郊野道路,車廂下的木製車輪連綿不斷地發出各種與路上碎石的磨擦聲音,甚為吵耳擾人。747Please respect copyright.PENANARRa7F6bMcY
747Please respect copyright.PENANA541fNlc9x4
與馬匹連接在一起的第一節車廂是為載貨車廂,裡頭放滿了商人們的各種商品、視之為命根的生財工具。747Please respect copyright.PENANAQRIhnmV2nB
而第二節車廂則是載人車廂,座位數目二十一,呈七行三座位式分佈。747Please respect copyright.PENANAOh9DyUMv1P
747Please respect copyright.PENANA1vVwaIAX9z
馬車是由兩省商會協辦而成的服務,為方便商人們來往燕京及雁津而設。每朝早上分別有一馬車在兩地出發,夜晚時份左右便能抵達目的地,日復如是,年中無休。747Please respect copyright.PENANAa8OeqABr6x
747Please respect copyright.PENANA148VFZyopT
雖說這服務主要是為商人而設,但若然當日的載客量並不理想的話,商會亦會當場即售車票予普通市民,確保運輸服務收支平衡之餘,亦算是為市民們帶來一個方便。747Please respect copyright.PENANAmFEOkXFysT
747Please respect copyright.PENANAbNoAGrMbUy
而在幾經辛苦之下,書生成功購得今天從雁津前往燕京的車票。他本打算以陸路不上山的方式提早在赴考前的兩天抵達燕京,安頓心情以最佳狀態迎接考試。747Please respect copyright.PENANAcHUGMLqMky
誰知人算不如天算,發生了一些「小意外」,促使到他走投無路,被迫選擇以徒步方式越過無頂山前往燕京。747Please respect copyright.PENANA8FWf2s6ijx
747Please respect copyright.PENANAxPimtAFZbN
747Please respect copyright.PENANAu7qOzNj39C
載人車廂中,乘客大多是身穿光鮮的商人,均有持劍持刀的健碩護衛隨同。747Please respect copyright.PENANALx5iUrfKcb
747Please respect copyright.PENANAgP3tQILnop
他憶起是次對外往普通市民售出的車票只有三張,往車廂內外一掃,當下發現一名氣質彬彬的女生,散發出一股古色古香的書卷味。747Please respect copyright.PENANAARVCiGYBxE
747Please respect copyright.PENANAQegJyIivUM
“難道,她也是打算前往赴考狀元試的考生?”747Please respect copyright.PENANAEkSRyIDZiw
747Please respect copyright.PENANAL5cKy8zhZ7
書生毫不客氣地擅自坐在該名女生身旁,恭維地作一自我介紹。747Please respect copyright.PENANAuoamoKyS6c
747Please respect copyright.PENANA9bd9dHJqMd
「姑娘你好,在下姓傅名堅,未指教?」747Please respect copyright.PENANAVtRmnLkABX
747Please respect copyright.PENANAChEvMWfctm
「燕宣希。」747Please respect copyright.PENANA5LqOi3m9Oa
女生點頭微笑。747Please respect copyright.PENANAhShUhmydpV
747Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3pcE8JyNB
「燕姑娘,敢問一句,你是否打算前往燕京赴考狀元試呢?」747Please respect copyright.PENANAoHGN68U4Yq
傅堅書生再作一問。747Please respect copyright.PENANAJSfiU5N4gu
747Please respect copyright.PENANAEy0R9pzuIq
「哦,為何傅公子會有這樣的想法?」747Please respect copyright.PENANAYfqvgRO8vC
燕宣希的神情顯得略為諤然。747Please respect copyright.PENANAoBE5gOyrX6
747Please respect copyright.PENANAh8qb3UGL0E
「我只是從遠處感受到燕姑娘散發出的一股獨特的書卷氣質,所以才有此猜想而已,未知我有否猜中?」747Please respect copyright.PENANAuSdjTbYNNW
傳堅書生在此並沒有任何奉承的意思,純粹把心中所見所想道出。747Please respect copyright.PENANAaXN4s5hbSP
747Please respect copyright.PENANA4XMQLljjWp
燕宣希感覺得到對方並無惡意,索性便投其所好多,跟身旁的書生玩一個猜啞謎遊戲。747Please respect copyright.PENANAptZHb2Sngo
747Please respect copyright.PENANABtniZ04YEs
「一一一二三四五,六七八九十十十。」747Please respect copyright.PENANA1UEc7npUz8
她故意轉用北方話道出此句,把重音放在頭尾的一字和十字之中。747Please respect copyright.PENANAcb1ACmjlww
747Please respect copyright.PENANApL1XAfQeQe
僅僅用上一秒左右,傅堅便能理解得到整句話背後所藏的訊息。747Please respect copyright.PENANAlGAd8yVT0y
747Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ygr3kpOs4
話中只有一字及十字出現多於一次,暗指並不缺一,並不缺十。747Please respect copyright.PENANAC44Vu7ZtNy
再加上燕姑娘特意用上北方話修飾句子,可以由此推測得到她在說她不缺衣(一)亦不缺食(十)。747Please respect copyright.PENANA98OmieFCLi
747Please respect copyright.PENANA0wL5SiVgHp
既然她並不缺衣食,除非有著甚麼特別的因由,否則的話亦不必踏上寒窗苦讀考取功名的苦路。747Please respect copyright.PENANA6mVarY004F
747Please respect copyright.PENANA12lGMnEdEP
「原來姑娘是不缺衣食的貴族出身嗎?但依我所知,雁津市並無任何富裕之戶姓燕,抑或是,燕姑娘是燕京當地人?」747Please respect copyright.PENANA0KRlGnkaDg
傳堅住在雁津市已有二十五年之多,甚少聽到有家戶擁有「燕」這個姓氏,因而推斷出對方為燕京人的這個想法。747Please respect copyright.PENANAoLX1Rd3sDN
747Please respect copyright.PENANAjn6d5YdX8t
「少多管閒事啦!臭窮困書生!」747Please respect copyright.PENANA8TkMdx7CSe
坐在燕姑娘左手旁的一名黑色服裝少男,雙手叉在胸前,口中咬著一根樹枝,此際向傅堅作出一道鈄視警告。747Please respect copyright.PENANASz9vHE5buq
747Please respect copyright.PENANAka9OD8YTxw
「薯一郎!」747Please respect copyright.PENANAmA1hl56xXu
燕姑娘當下用上手肘輕撞少男,皺著眉頭直斥其名。747Please respect copyright.PENANAjSWa8Bw5XW
747Please respect copyright.PENANA5GPRZZP6tA
「我有說錯嗎?747Please respect copyright.PENANAR0u9KGOtJl
無緣無故坐在你身旁,交談整整三句也沒有便查人家宅?憑甚麼?」747Please respect copyright.PENANAgInhTOXiA0
薯一郎理直氣壯作出反擊,在整個對話的過程之中,那根樹枝並沒有從他的口中逸出。747Please respect copyright.PENANAG2syIZ8JAT
747Please respect copyright.PENANAxNdsvpDGg6
「一、十、百、千、萬、兆。」747Please respect copyright.PENANAFDBeztGZsC
傅堅相當理解那名薯一郎的疑慮,自覺確是有所冒犯的他,只好用上書生的方式為自己作出辯護。747Please respect copyright.PENANAw5QVa7h7Sr
747Please respect copyright.PENANA03zRjoctqA
數列中所欠缺的是「億」字,整句話所表達的是,自己並無意思冒犯任何人。747Please respect copyright.PENANA02IcUmNmYV
747Please respect copyright.PENANAGpEiuYSC7D
「傅公子,你不必道歉。他只是......」747Please respect copyright.PENANAVEyFYvvphE
燕姑娘還沒有把話說完之際,薯一郎突然朝她伸出右手,示意不要作聲。747Please respect copyright.PENANA8L0sHu7ADH
747Please respect copyright.PENANAEObGl5bwmr
747Please respect copyright.PENANAMSu6ZkQ6y9
