人生苦短——死
517Please respect copyright.PENANAY1ytWMcjOl
517Please respect copyright.PENANAVx7RVHAFx3
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAWfJ0iqO22r
517Please respect copyright.PENANAc1KyNOvgX0
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAyX8PjwQ3Zs
517Please respect copyright.PENANAeRz5HfN0UE
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANA8U0hxJF4vY
517Please respect copyright.PENANA2Y4t6j8iXv
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAdGiRb3qtR6

517Please respect copyright.PENANA8Uc6kxCRs5
小便後,步出浴室,再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。517Please respect copyright.PENANARjkF4uZrn7
517Please respect copyright.PENANAd1hsoYYFk8
抵不住。517Please respect copyright.PENANARmD8D90oqO
517Please respect copyright.PENANAh4iYsCCroW
他決定到公園散步。517Please respect copyright.PENANA3A6Qb95W5E
517Please respect copyright.PENANAXmZsRyNzY3
望望手錶,是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。517Please respect copyright.PENANAMU6NJABphS
517Please respect copyright.PENANAvk8Cfc8y8g
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANArILcqH56gg
517Please respect copyright.PENANALk8XCRuqK4
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAiboboKQ40s
517Please respect copyright.PENANA984ECXBxuf
他知道自己該要感恩,奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。517Please respect copyright.PENANA9jCLxp36FC
517Please respect copyright.PENANAdYrvKWmmME
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。517Please respect copyright.PENANARERm4Rx95o

樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。517Please respect copyright.PENANAC8m38euF1l
517Please respect copyright.PENANAUyHFFkgUKO
他不自已憶起亡妻……517Please respect copyright.PENANAiCwnyofU78
517Please respect copyright.PENANAR5XWVa3yFg
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANA4CeIr1UfPA
517Please respect copyright.PENANA5TcWcoZrnd
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。517Please respect copyright.PENANARQ5KxmwDKK
517Please respect copyright.PENANA5uagRx6tcN
「我的腿康復不了,是嗎?」517Please respect copyright.PENANAOirgQ0dMLc
517Please respect copyright.PENANAlNCqtLp9nD
「不是。你向來身體強健,這小小傷勢不是大問題。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAHFE4witmNw
517Please respect copyright.PENANAfEfNtJO812
「我何時可以痊癒?我想去探望朋友。」517Please respect copyright.PENANALJ2dxSeVPR

「快了、快了。不用著急!」517Please respect copyright.PENANA6jCUcycO24
517Please respect copyright.PENANAG98XyUGMv9
「即是何時?」517Please respect copyright.PENANAGl7qFo0AFk
517Please respect copyright.PENANAnP0ju29qeV
「下一個夏天。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAfbLB1MX6oa
517Please respect copyright.PENANAaPwZ7MeUOg
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANARDxdp53U6a
517Please respect copyright.PENANAGlPDJ7clT2
樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。517Please respect copyright.PENANA6edW3Ije3O

感動,明明眼前只有絕望。517Please respect copyright.PENANADJDC0xQRed
517Please respect copyright.PENANAl2LuJPMzy6
她的手忽爾不再無力,牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。517Please respect copyright.PENANAoUKStXZm1Z
517Please respect copyright.PENANAzBfqa9SXRw
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANA2oHDW1dmDN
517Please respect copyright.PENANA9vQVKIhwjF
內心終於安定下來。517Please respect copyright.PENANAzvZ6MCr5hw
517Please respect copyright.PENANA4w3DW2vjbX
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』!」517Please respect copyright.PENANAkswDFX5AzP
517Please respect copyright.PENANATaaNiwVdqr
「但你的血糖……」517Please respect copyright.PENANA6n7vbLg6CB
517Please respect copyright.PENANAurkadV8QJ4
「我向來身體強健,這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAQHXv9ImT8C
517Please respect copyright.PENANAfAEtmm3cYV
他會心一笑,笑她依舊貪吃如豬。517Please respect copyright.PENANAqeO49dmMfc
517Please respect copyright.PENANAzc7XwafPo1
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAJglfpYhMqe
517Please respect copyright.PENANArbDa9CWSqd
兒子送她一根拐杖。517Please respect copyright.PENANAIS0IkkJowg
517Please respect copyright.PENANApjvw9dnfpB
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAiltldPEl4k
517Please respect copyright.PENANAC4z4PRsKGm
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAOrtqnancyj
517Please respect copyright.PENANA9JbI81N402
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』!」517Please respect copyright.PENANAk8ITHl0ryZ
517Please respect copyright.PENANAZyBknXMmf6
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANA8lkqA60LFJ
517Please respect copyright.PENANAKgc9LqGr20
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAjdDfocqYTv
517Please respect copyright.PENANAgCk8krWMev
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAc4sFIKUqV3
517Please respect copyright.PENANAcVKVB3zDtt
不要緊,反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。517Please respect copyright.PENANARpQySCI3Ns
517Please respect copyright.PENANAE7EonTjm09
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAReVyGQOFZ0

於願足矣。517Please respect copyright.PENANAWef0IqJyk9

沒過幾天,還未開始探望朋友,她已於睡夢中悄然離世……517Please respect copyright.PENANAUKWzVt2dSQ
517Please respect copyright.PENANA1g0O4VjsVr
公園裡,樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。517Please respect copyright.PENANApScbjZy2LB
517Please respect copyright.PENANA2VH32LrJrL
他不動聲息,藏起思念,繼續開步走。517Please respect copyright.PENANAUYfUFcauNV
517Please respect copyright.PENANAC1ckxHNF5G
總得走下去,不是嗎?517Please respect copyright.PENANAXrqVFtGeWU
517Please respect copyright.PENANA7IcSS3C2AS
不努力走下去,就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。517Please respect copyright.PENANAPL82wkYDGv
517Please respect copyright.PENANAw0WFynLXrf
走到涼亭,看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。517Please respect copyright.PENANAWoTEltXXc7
517Please respect copyright.PENANAx7ymdMDVyt
棋局中,事事分明,步步無情。517Please respect copyright.PENANA2VI4Paaj2p
517Please respect copyright.PENANA7L24wnLihr
他專注觀賽,全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。
517Please respect copyright.PENANAzx6NHUe6Vh
人生苦短——病517Please respect copyright.PENANAosvW53mosm
他在床上徐徐張眼。517Please respect copyright.PENANA9gaNcVOZAV
517Please respect copyright.PENANAy85Nh4hrtw
床褥太軟,腰骨微痛。這不是家裡的床。517Please respect copyright.PENANA3lk4oxEVpY
517Please respect copyright.PENANAiawiV1MsZF
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAnFoDM0wsdB
517Please respect copyright.PENANAMYqOzz0YPD
嗯。醫院。517Please respect copyright.PENANA0GxjtpqBY6
517Please respect copyright.PENANAgI0se7Egrs
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAN85ZPyZXKR
517Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4IornzC5O
醫生離開後,護士也去忙別的。517Please respect copyright.PENANAiFXPYJV3O8
517Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1B9jguaHQ
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?517Please respect copyright.PENANANXc8gnv4Rm
517Please respect copyright.PENANA9CpvnlkvNi
如他所料,兒子在晚上八時許現身。一臉倦容。517Please respect copyright.PENANA5KugMhWucI
517Please respect copyright.PENANAKVLnBg00Vx
「醫生說我沒大礙。可能是公園太熱,熱昏了。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAWcNFgXMWMh
517Please respect copyright.PENANAc28bdc8K92
「那就多待在家裡避暑,不要外出四處走動。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAqwtgiQ2joU
517Please respect copyright.PENANA8DhFpRdvTt
「知道。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAddR6aDe5gr
517Please respect copyright.PENANAZwz0MRCLcB
兒子攙扶他走出醫院,在街邊截下的士,直驅住所。517Please respect copyright.PENANAlE1xebnNwf
517Please respect copyright.PENANArZd2kIWbHb
車廂裡,二人不發一言,各自對著窗外景物發愣。517Please respect copyright.PENANAoDeKWHh27K
517Please respect copyright.PENANAD7y3UxDOK2
沒有怨氣或鬱結,只有緩解不了的疲憊。身心俱疲。517Please respect copyright.PENANAvxqtYyjpKh
517Please respect copyright.PENANA9bQAPwZHvS
黃色街燈在夜幕下迅速往後退。一盞、兩盞、三盞……不盡,無窮。517Please respect copyright.PENANAFz4wxTzXIn
517Please respect copyright.PENANA26TIl4bILD
兒子倏忽開口,神色惘然。517Please respect copyright.PENANAZa8OZJpt2t
517Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZcYa5rm9M
「我有末期肝癌,剩半年壽命。」517Please respect copyright.PENANACCst1OOqzt
517Please respect copyright.PENANAAZyeZSXi2e
「她知道了沒?」517Please respect copyright.PENANAmLZZBaMowu

517Please respect copyright.PENANA14iBrmffQ4
「你如何在她不知情的情況下抽時間接受治療?」517Please respect copyright.PENANAitbswPRlfF
517Please respect copyright.PENANA1pjJk9L4c3
兒子笑而不語。517Please respect copyright.PENANAz6BqIqclFH
517Please respect copyright.PENANAQYomxCtP8G
他愣住片刻,良久才道:「明白。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAaVoINXzIkY
517Please respect copyright.PENANAyzakaUWFpV
兒子輕拍他的肩膊,以示感謝。517Please respect copyright.PENANAUfeC9ivxVc
517Please respect copyright.PENANAwGtEWT7o0o
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAIqEPRQKE9g
517Please respect copyright.PENANALn6fmyT9gO
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANA8OfW7RBHhT
517Please respect copyright.PENANAFWNzJw4rHw
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAyUhrrjbtqH
517Please respect copyright.PENANAxx0rd8bkBF
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAicVD42AWxq
517Please respect copyright.PENANAJXkyEuUp9Z
他決定到公園走走。517Please respect copyright.PENANAhWDdEb4wdI
517Please respect copyright.PENANAzqFmriR3G3
樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。517Please respect copyright.PENANAp1q7PjlbfS
517Please respect copyright.PENANAIlKm25QtyD
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAivcZvB11PG
517Please respect copyright.PENANAAAXk3ng6QD
幽幽踏步,皆因內心焦躁。517Please respect copyright.PENANAivpcgFmR3v
517Please respect copyright.PENANAEJvE6INsTu
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANA0qICLOSVLG
517Please respect copyright.PENANADxsZ7TUvbH
全場一片默然。517Please respect copyright.PENANAvVni7UdlVD
517Please respect copyright.PENANAWKVeSEq5q9
聊聊笑笑罷。下棋耍樂罷。517Please respect copyright.PENANAwE88nA0llq

不要問為何。不要問感受。517Please respect copyright.PENANAa1NWiUFv7N

有如那樹那鳥那蟲。沒能在意。517Please respect copyright.PENANAZEt70h04vO
517Please respect copyright.PENANAeWq18CdH1P
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAIZJrpTjV0c
517Please respect copyright.PENANAj0TzLcxM8I
那是今早與他談笑風生的其中一位棋友。517Please respect copyright.PENANAQiY3UtNIT9
517Please respect copyright.PENANA6UJ6mN5ZVk
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAGSjLJcyuz2
517Please respect copyright.PENANAHjExnIwaB0
他默默將孫兒擁入懷裡。517Please respect copyright.PENANAHg2hqQhcqE
517Please respect copyright.PENANAY7WojtgOuI
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAsqkc8Dibrc
517Please respect copyright.PENANAwSsEgk0nMV
「爺爺,很熱啊!」不知袖裡的孫兒輕輕推開他。517Please respect copyright.PENANArVRMcfeJ3u
517Please respect copyright.PENANAklc05CeUup
「嗯。」對於眼前一切,他花盡全身力氣發出渺小的一聲。517Please respect copyright.PENANAPqoAZ7s3C5
517Please respect copyright.PENANAbVACthcRte
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAslrn8v1cL5
517Please respect copyright.PENANALvrqQfHkpo
跳跳跳,有節奏地跳個不停,像心臟。517Please respect copyright.PENANAUo0i2g7ehH
517Please respect copyright.PENANA7pVR1NQHPU
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?517Please respect copyright.PENANAWSrWMCf6kG
517Please respect copyright.PENANAYXKGfBaHpI
他的目光不期然落瞄向露台,看著兒子呼出個個煙圈,圈圈復圈圈,冉升消散不復見。517Please respect copyright.PENANAauHCzsVioG
517Please respect copyright.PENANAaE32qSewhm
不復見。517Please respect copyright.PENANAxaNkmPgzII
517Please respect copyright.PENANAv4ZnIfVgFT
他莫名的被深深憾動。517Please respect copyright.PENANAm7MjJiPooJ
517Please respect copyright.PENANAYeegT8Cuh5
走到兒子身邊,告知棋友的死訊。517Please respect copyright.PENANAmp4jDqZsTE
517Please respect copyright.PENANAMSOP4e1eCZ
毋須明言,兒子已猜測到他的用意。517Please respect copyright.PENANAiqoZ1BfPrY
517Please respect copyright.PENANARohEaAAmvI
「我不怕死。」517Please respect copyright.PENANA9nhtxnR5EB
517Please respect copyright.PENANA0DZvZeoXc8
「我也不怕死——死亡並不可怕,只怕沒能完成想要完成的事。」517Please respect copyright.PENANA90dgfBdudE

「每年夏天買『菠蘿油』給你媽。」517Please respect copyright.PENANADqanRHuaEH
517Please respect copyright.PENANA5ggybu6oCI
「她的叮囑?」517Please respect copyright.PENANA2SsJZ4MvkY
517Please respect copyright.PENANAnBcnaDct26
「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。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAqyuhw9Du1Q
517Please respect copyright.PENANAQqmw30ADQW
「別傻!她不願看見你耿耿於懷!」517Please respect copyright.PENANATifMEXzOOx
517Please respect copyright.PENANADprrmTgRx6
「她沒這麼說。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAFVumEEPqti
517Please respect copyright.PENANAe5CEpplZXV
兒子苦笑,笑他彆扭。517Please respect copyright.PENANA15eaO1PMms
517Please respect copyright.PENANAzOSm0bD6D6
再次不了了之?他以為是,直至夜半聞得媳婦哭聲不絕。517Please respect copyright.PENANAM9EPBWNuDu
517Please respect copyright.PENANAXdaV62mdNz
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAFkxKGndtG7
517Please respect copyright.PENANAvqf1UmVCEq
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAHVzBt21yei
517Please respect copyright.PENANAC6QSBSOslk
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANA50XBGX712Q
517Please respect copyright.PENANAHUmZVVZKRY
離開醫院、歸家路上,兒子和他拐到公園散步去。517Please respect copyright.PENANA5qgNCLLbDH

「是。期待下一個夏天。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAlY13Z2bEm3
517Please respect copyright.PENANANowTfBF6Jn
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANA9XxdkoE5su
517Please respect copyright.PENANAEiWudLg8fk
他為兒子衷心高興著,亦感謝上蒼的好生之德,沒有帶走……517Please respect copyright.PENANAjMBR6HNEll
517Please respect copyright.PENANATUmMcamALa
兒子呢?517Please respect copyright.PENANAt7LqOJQPyO
517Please respect copyright.PENANAf6uTBzsIAf
悉才尚在身邊的兒子不見蹤影。517Please respect copyright.PENANAMfd9uTUpY0
517Please respect copyright.PENANAlDFaOd44qP
啊!記起來了。517Please respect copyright.PENANA0yGeg8JxOW
517Please respect copyright.PENANAG36Y7Hlrl0
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANA9FKhHoMB4j
517Please respect copyright.PENANAlep1aA748s
果然。517Please respect copyright.PENANA3rIJ5sMe4U
517Please respect copyright.PENANAbwywb2pIDa
不努力走下去,就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。517Please respect copyright.PENANAToUAsgaFs0

婆娑樹影之下、鳥叫蟲鳴之中,他繼續走。517Please respect copyright.PENANA96G2NEftTT
517Please respect copyright.PENANA9Z4eRxpATE
幽幽踏步慢慢走。
517Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7vpLc9WER
死病老生——老517Please respect copyright.PENANAdnv9lVbWol
517Please respect copyright.PENANAFillYQP6PA
他在搖搖椅上猛然醒來。517Please respect copyright.PENANA0m02NdN9PE
517Please respect copyright.PENANAeZ3nSRBVea
望望掛鐘,七時半。該要喚醒孫兒。517Please respect copyright.PENANAfroIEJ0F8M
517Please respect copyright.PENANAFU89IlMn13
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANA0SYcH5uVKg
517Please respect copyright.PENANAG6IFx1rEiP
若有所失。517Please respect copyright.PENANAtDRrKVubKz

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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAvNWV3odLrO
517Please respect copyright.PENANAHmFwqDrPtS
離開緩步徑,闖入樹林。517Please respect copyright.PENANAJgrLiYiojf
517Please respect copyright.PENANAys5kVnkFm9
找樹。找到那樹。517Please respect copyright.PENANAVBdTgul7CE
517Please respect copyright.PENANAHVSGzHHQ1E
不,不是它——因著樹身變得粗壯,刻記模糊難辨。517Please respect copyright.PENANAW3n6Zp8ktq
517Please respect copyright.PENANABDDZ3LBCAk
此樹不是當年那樹,正如現時的自己亦不是當年的自己。517Please respect copyright.PENANA89p6Jwupg7

長大、老去、病倒、死亡,無論願意不願意。517Please respect copyright.PENANAKPUnQRtsKY
517Please respect copyright.PENANAUc7ejEh3jf
不願意。517Please respect copyright.PENANAz1cPtwpyBp
517Please respect copyright.PENANAOdv4Vpf567
想逃。517Please respect copyright.PENANAArg8gjjCVK
517Please respect copyright.PENANAXgLG5nOVt0
逃!517Please respect copyright.PENANAE9eWsY8Hhw
517Please respect copyright.PENANAtRIuJyxIcX
逃出樹林。517Please respect copyright.PENANA2fxOIDKgAZ
517Please respect copyright.PENANAoZurWxnWpK
彷如隔世。517Please respect copyright.PENANA4RZwN89MNU
517Please respect copyright.PENANArHW0D849Wk
陽光刺眼,氣溫熬人。不是回憶裡的現實。517Please respect copyright.PENANA2gwbV9sHwA

517Please respect copyright.PENANAqYPjP0SAvX
「你是誰?」517Please respect copyright.PENANAJQZk8KmHzx
517Please respect copyright.PENANAUOXWsxHqGl

517Please respect copyright.PENANA5c6R3FkufH
「嗯……」517Please respect copyright.PENANAiYSCm2yjdz
517Please respect copyright.PENANAYONDozxIgB
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAArLDuif1e0
517Please respect copyright.PENANAKIFArNjVCc
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAHIi49ezRni
517Please respect copyright.PENANAZeXyQbmclc
是否忘記了甚麼?517Please respect copyright.PENANAPFhkMWsyqz
517Please respect copyright.PENANARaVN7dFRlU
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?517Please respect copyright.PENANAq0fgfvcMSB
517Please respect copyright.PENANAAXeTKyl49u
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?517Please respect copyright.PENANA6YgvrPJAMp
517Please respect copyright.PENANA9sCXPC4FDS
激動。拍拍拍,踢踢踢,吵吵吵。517Please respect copyright.PENANAOomzC1lr0t
517Please respect copyright.PENANAGfMEemj1ER
「快開門!我要跟你聊天!快開門!來!快開門!」517Please respect copyright.PENANA9dm4v65pFi
517Please respect copyright.PENANAqqFNNFXOjW
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAhSR4SqfjMH
517Please respect copyright.PENANAnuhgDMfA8F

「爺爺,你看看掛鐘——爸爸尚未下班,還在公司。」517Please respect copyright.PENANA1Nd2NLtdEJ
517Please respect copyright.PENANAwM9Q9EkJAD
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……517Please respect copyright.PENANAElaFrZGR0I
517Please respect copyright.PENANACA1B7Ns0LI
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。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAJH8z15EzLn
517Please respect copyright.PENANATrgVluLMB6
公園裡,美好回憶俯拾皆是。517Please respect copyright.PENANA8tvdElRBnn
517Please respect copyright.PENANAC8RO1oSkus
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……517Please respect copyright.PENANASqdLUltxdF
517Please respect copyright.PENANAIHMBo7G9e5
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAo9NHO3kh2z
517Please respect copyright.PENANAU9pso7PWDc
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……517Please respect copyright.PENANAHhqI2HP8p9
517Please respect copyright.PENANAzscui7LzxT
他輕拍孫兒肩膀。517Please respect copyright.PENANAmJ0niiuG80

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。517Please respect copyright.PENANA0M05O7RmeA

他淡然一笑,笑孫兒長高長肉不長大。517Please respect copyright.PENANATjkNTm4WVm
517Please respect copyright.PENANAUTpetaohcV
孫兒傻了眼——他是真瘋或是假傻?517Please respect copyright.PENANAKq0kObGUkQ
517Please respect copyright.PENANAaqc3WrdHDl
沒待孫兒辨清真假,他已然幽幽踏步開步走。517Please respect copyright.PENANAF0HeNqN707
517Please respect copyright.PENANAQalKVo5Ev9
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAQ10t6B7RQA
517Please respect copyright.PENANAMDADvxmekC
佝僂身影幽幽遠去,沒入婆娑樹影當中不復見。517Please respect copyright.PENANAY3ZLLchGDM

沒有在意的人,沒有在意自己的人,無論願意不願意。517Please respect copyright.PENANANoTeWWUYnB

517Please respect copyright.PENANAYRbpz0UhxA
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAjCim6USR01
517Please respect copyright.PENANAIIBPnix6Oq
他沒有吸吮。517Please respect copyright.PENANA3EV91QF0eW
517Please respect copyright.PENANAjqDM0RJAZT
孫兒保持這姿勢好一會,惟見他沒反應,也只好收起水壺。517Please respect copyright.PENANAAt8Izwuxgi

樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。517Please respect copyright.PENANA6bvhN5ADMG

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應。517Please respect copyright.PENANAygv47OIpiL
517Please respect copyright.PENANAIv4QgoARCg
不要緊。517Please respect copyright.PENANAekRf8ZSJfD

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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAuj1UqeJUGD
517Please respect copyright.PENANAl8taaZdLXp
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAC3xuQk3hTV

那抹難以察覺的微笑僅維持了三秒。517Please respect copyright.PENANAubVWI7VUOJ

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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAO9fNY3aYCU

輪椅一直前進,映入眼簾的紛亂光影不斷交替、退去、消失。517Please respect copyright.PENANA0dFyy2Xsgq

在最後的最後,他眼前只餘一盞佇立於公園外的交通燈。517Please respect copyright.PENANAGvKZi6LNUy

517Please respect copyright.PENANAkXQtMbaTbd
孫兒抿抿雙唇,藏起憂思,推著輪椅開步走。517Please respect copyright.PENANAGYe21la0sz
517Please respect copyright.PENANAnbZrJVHPC8
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。517Please respect copyright.PENANAdoCsRcmi3i
517Please respect copyright.PENANAaZykJ0Mdqw
這是從他身上學懂的。517Please respect copyright.PENANAFg4hj5ct38
517Please respect copyright.PENANAZXdCi6eJgi
一生受用。517Please respect copyright.PENANAk5ul7kLJZd

孫兒的話猶如耳邊風,進不了他的耳,到不了他的心。517Please respect copyright.PENANA1fx2uiKd8e

要緊的,其實不要緊。517Please respect copyright.PENANAh3DHi3kZay
517Please respect copyright.PENANADNuBc53fhm

517Please respect copyright.PENANAzbAt0mQ296
他被送上安老院專車。517Please respect copyright.PENANAutgCbFyibg

車窗外,無光街燈迅速往後退。一盞、兩盞、三盞……不盡,無窮。517Please respect copyright.PENANA22jbUg6xnC

腦海裡,無數樹影鳥蟲交替、退去、消失。517Please respect copyright.PENANAyve3gm4WSj

他被動地遠離昔日一切。517Please respect copyright.PENANAuYUmjfHAer
517Please respect copyright.PENANAZEM9lFYpA0
要緊的,不再要緊。517Please respect copyright.PENANAMltkAxOurA
517Please respect copyright.PENANAhsTmhhUq4M
他克盡己任,沒有遺憾。517Please respect copyright.PENANAqyIvghviCt
517Please respect copyright.PENANAJGJ08qP2da
他忘記前塵,沒有執著。517Please respect copyright.PENANAjwmi1p7oqf
