此時的我，身處黃朝最繁華喧鬧的南都大城，此地商賈雲集，車水馬龍，川流不息的人潮，訴說著歌舞昇平的歡騰景象。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGdNMGrEIQ
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQVbXgfrfc
我想過去的首都京城也是這樣的繁榮安樂吧，但現今那裡應是滿目瘡痍的蒼涼，此處南都的平和盛景，也是用無數的屍骨和朝廷的忍辱求和換來的。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R0JckcMvT
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y2ZuzOeF6
在西方異族攻入首都京城，皇帝逃到南都避難後，朝廷才真正明白長久的積弱不振，已無力抗衡西方異族的強兵勁旅，便與西方異族談和，除了割讓北方廣袤千里的國土，每年還需進貢大批的金銀財寶，才得以維持當今黃朝偏安南方的局面。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1xRMQNx5x
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfORIAtolL3
即使這樣的安穩，只是異族施捨的虛假和平，對我們而言卻是求之不得的休養生息，歷經長年戰亂，國家與人民已是疲憊不堪，人人只想活在太平安逸的美夢中，早已磨滅了復國振興的壯志雄心。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATKfszyyJy
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pghU52xeZ
戰事結束後，我沒有回到連方鎮，而是開始了漫無目的的流浪行旅，我的足跡曾至北方綿延千里的高聳群巒，蒼茫壯闊的西域大漠，還有東方的浩瀚滄海，我獨自一人觀覽天下風光，蒐集了各地的奇聞軼事。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2wFA7Qfg4
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWexo4PRwac
但在這漫漫旅途中，面對這寬廣的天地，我總是感到茫然無措，眼前展開的壯麗景色，都在映襯我渺小的孤寂。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oOAVbiMQX
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43xRRX3Yu6
我已年過半百，鬢髮斑白，卻依然如剛降生於這世間的孤子孑然一身，我不知這樣萍蹤浪跡的漂泊有何意義，或許是我已經失去了供我停泊的歸宿，也或許是我想拋下那糾纏我將近一生的情根孽障。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa47PMwNO84

店小二躬著腰將剛沖好的熱茶及茶盞擺到我桌上，我啜飲了幾口茶，雖說是清冽甘潤，配得上南都第一茶館的好名聲，但果然還是少了蓮心清露那種獨特的深蘊滋味。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sd1OTJZF7

突然地，響徹清亮的呼喊，以及爽快清脆的兩聲響板，將我的全副心神勾到了戲臺上頭，我再次回到了那壯闊的奇境幻景。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKhg1eCH5v
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gN3dxSKdZ
洶湧奔流的滔滔江水不斷拍擊險峻磐岩，激起千重浪花如雪翻飛，從中化育出一條通身碧綠的蛟龍，發出仰天長嘯，其暴戾之勢懾人心魂，是能將整片天地吞噬殆盡的澎湃激昂。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZrCBXeuTP
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglnuK11d1w
然而一道祥瑞金光突然緊緊缚住龍身，蛟龍的掙扎與憤怒喚來了暴雨狂風的晦冥深沉，也激得金光更加明熾燦亮，伴隨大雨磅礡與轟轟雷鳴，天與地將要為此崩裂之時----------270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6xzoWTpSU

蛟龍墜於地，化為通明清澈的浩蕩江流，霎那間開滿了千萬朵金蓮，在劃破重重陰雲的萬縷金光拂照下，渡化著芸芸眾生的苦難魂靈，水天相映，佛光無際，人間盡是一片清淨祥和。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivv8zRahfK

澄澈明亮的，來自遙遠過往的一聲呼喚，喚回了那江南小鎮裡清澈的淙淙流水，潔淨淡雅的蓮花香氣，忽遠忽近的行船吆喝聲，古樸雅致的青石板路及小橋人家。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZfBiJ93dE

清漣就在我的身旁，我們就坐在同一艘蓮舟，徜徉在水天一色的世外仙境裡，童稚模樣的他漾開天然純真的笑，他握住我的那雙手，遞來屬於生命脈動的暖意。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1KVrwLD2M
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd32mQckfPd
他凝視著我的眼眸清透如水，是流淌進我幽深心湖的清澈活泉，那雙眸裡蘊涵了雨過天晴的明亮光采，是劃破我晦暗人生的一道霽光。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePSr3TT2io

最後響起的這句偈語，彷若迴盪於佛門古寺裡的悠長鐘聲，化去了所有的虛情幻景，猛一回神，我還身處於人聲鼎沸的鬧市中心，杯中的茶水仍散發氤氳熱氣。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFPVMjwvWC

在我旁桌客人的閒談碎話，才讓我明白宋說書已然長逝，而正在戲臺上的說書人正是……270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt8c0bIA72
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSRS1XDdwb
他身形修長挺拔，雖然身穿簡便的粗布衣衫，身態卻翩然俊雅如玉樹臨風，他大方接受台下的滿堂喝采，英氣的眉眼笑得舒展了開來，一枚細小黑痣綴在他右眼下方，是他溫潤如玉的面容上最明顯的特徵。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm47hkPp0E

他，並不是清漣。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlMBbOhulm
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g6PO2eYF7
真正的清漣還在那飄散著蓮香水氣的江南小鎮，那麼多年過去了，我對他的記憶，仍停留在那夜雨中的驟然道別，最後他驚愕不解的憂傷面容。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTfv72yIpk
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1GxSGXWx0
如今的他，原諒我當時的不告而別了嗎？他過得好嗎？他是否像我一樣鬢髮霜白的蒼老？他還記得當時的約定嗎？270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZg8FYCaI5

腦中浮現我與清漣的孩提時代，那時純真的童言童語，一字一句於我心底掀起陣陣漣漪，擴散出的層層水紋交織重疊，如同糾纏了我將近一生，無法可解的綿綿情愛……270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIR52jyQkE

時節已入孟冬，烏雲密布的天空於水面上緩緩浮動著，水岸旁僅有幾支枯葉殘荷孤零零地挺立著，整座連方鎮籠罩於一片陰暗晦冥之中。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ir9k01bnl
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5298oM2JKk
我所行渡的小舟順著水流，於光滑如鏡的水面上劃開層層波紋，耳畔迴盪的潺潺水聲滌淨了我的思緒，一切歸於平和寧靜。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC4MrbrDNG

我闊別此地，投身軍旅已有數十載，如今我終於回到這座養育我多年的水鄉小鎮，我與清漣共同的故鄉。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lJAuewguR
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ667DzNLVDK
我凝視灰冷水面上的倒影，蠟黃面孔佈滿了年歲的曲折皺痕，兩側鬢髮被塵世風霜染上皓然斑白。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpySLBV6QmI
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aPjHK3enl
從年輕離鄉時的春秋鼎盛，被歲月推磨成桑榆暮景的老者，這樣的我，就算被鎮上的人撞見了，也已是相見不相識了吧。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRwFIGiqZj
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtQx46T4LC
那麼清漣呢？清漣他能認出我來嗎？我不敢加以揣測也無從斷定，我的心境已被如水流年磨洗得宛如古井般幽深無波，年少時為情愛生出的棘刺稜角，也被磨蝕殆盡。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA40ZmSuqzt
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApclS8r2cv
現今的我就算被清漣認出來了，也能夠將無法可解的深情埋藏心底，雲淡風輕地與他笑談平生，向他訴說我旅途上的所見所聞。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRrzqYNVXA
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYIw5VKcvY
若清漣認不出我，也無妨，我就當個偶經此地的過客，求得與清漣的一面之緣後，再繼續無邊無際的天涯行旅。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53Ffr2nN99
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42OMNWatae
我只求再見清漣一面，此生便了無遺憾。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H1RVIzmq1
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDdIABpsav
我循著幾十年前我離開連方鎮，同時也是我年幼時漂流到連方鎮時所經的水路，回到了最初與清漣相遇的那個水岸棧橋。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JYGdf5vkD
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPuv7kdYu2
我將舟楫停靠在棧橋旁，凝望水岸旁齊整排列的古樸房舍，縱使外界歷經家國變遷的動盪亂世，連方鎮卻仍停留在最初的模樣，彷彿匆匆流逝的時光就停駐於此。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8jquNeF5t

我獨自踏上斑駁的青石板路，依循記憶走入狹窄的巷道。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibx3WbSjhW
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2s8vehpFy
肌膚突然感受到如蜻蜓點水的細微寒意，反射性抬頭一看，覆蓋在頭頂的陰沉烏雲，紛紛落下細絲斜雨，織就一片雨幕濛濛，周圍瀰漫一股清透冷意。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6Qaq6H5tU
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGFsIJKgrd
我趕緊加快腳步，一路上我沒遇到什麼人，整個鎮裡充盈著斜風冷雨的清寒空寂，很快地，我回到了青門客棧。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLTvDqhedX
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAobjzYjTNC
客棧的大門是關著的，讓我感到訝異，我記得現在還不到歇店的時候，客棧應該敞開大門迎接來客才是。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm5tesJsEY
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPu1AjzlRJ
我的手碰向門環想敲下門，門板卻無力地被我推開，藉由敞開的門縫，我窺見客棧裡頭竟是沉甸甸地一片昏黑，杳無生氣的清冷。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7GkjxZOGW

粗啞尖細的聲音從背後傳來，我轉身一看，是名身形矮小的佝僂老婦，她撐著破舊紙傘，瞇著眼細細打量我，她是我回到連方鎮後第一個遇見的人。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaLh4v63VU
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZYjaqV8h6
正當我想開口回答，老婦又扯開嗓子擺手說道：「這家客棧已經歇業囉，裡面也都空蕩蕩地沒半點人囉。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzfePIxBBm

「為什麼？這家客棧怎麼了嗎！？」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YCChp4tTe
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d1f1rMY1k
似乎是被我話語裡的急切給怔住了，老婦愣了半晌，然後緩緩說道：「清漣掌櫃不久前剛去世，沒留下一子半女接手這裡，當然就沒再經營啦。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3rmVtgu1I
