寒冷了幾日,終於在今日落雪。

305Please respect copyright.PENANAfKKhcvD7Jw
年幼的孩子在雪裡嬉戲,笑鬧聲從遠處傳來,他一人坐在廊下,闔上的院門隔絕了一切。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAstRRacbAau
305Please respect copyright.PENANAeu9U1pFrc3
從早晨到傍晚,夕陽西下,孩子紛紛離去,院裡一片白茫,他仍是那副不動如山的模樣。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAl2H2zjn5Cg
305Please respect copyright.PENANA4Qu1ZpY6IB
『楚先生,空桑的雪景很美,每次只要下雪,孩子們都會打雪仗,玉公子那隻靈獸寒英喜歡在雪裡打滾,牠摸起來毛茸茸的,我也喜歡跟牠一道打滾⋯⋯』
305Please respect copyright.PENANAsyACVD0Bon
305Please respect copyright.PENANA1VcTCTFYn2
她撲在一頭野獸身上、與之在雪裡打滾?定當可愛又有趣⋯⋯。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAZFa1a4A4Gz
305Please respect copyright.PENANAhgbGXn7I10
『⋯⋯郭管家會趁這個時節擺個宴席,一邊喝酒一邊賞雪,興致一來還會跳舞呢⋯⋯那幾位風雅人士也辦起了詩酒會,鬥詩文、評酒水⋯⋯我真希望楚先生也能瞧一瞧這和樂融融的場景。』
305Please respect copyright.PENANAKvQth4iQR9
305Please respect copyright.PENANAx60N5dSPFZ
戰國時代紛爭不斷,已鮮少有人能夠心平氣和談論詩文、品酒對弈,這畫面雖不復見卻令他動容。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAOXSirNHrW3
305Please respect copyright.PENANA3AmI7gqrPu
她口中所道的一切於他而言有些陌生,太平盛世已經離他太遠,他為了一睹這和平安樂的世界而積極配合,一次次從她手中接過湯藥,在空桑靈力最充沛之處療養,卻在事情有了進展時被他親手毀去。
305Please respect copyright.PENANA0SHSlYCspp
305Please respect copyright.PENANAq7Zb2YmLRj
原先想好好地瞧瞧她出生、成長的地方才決定配合,如今卻因到處是她的氣息而後悔眼疾的好轉。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAEff0ErWtAp

他起身走出了院外,夜裡的雪景據說別有一番滋味,他卻無法細品。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAXYOUvcALXp
305Please respect copyright.PENANAMUmaPUskOU
手中那條矇眼布被他扔在了雪地裡,他看不見這傳說中的雪夜之美,雪深至膝,他腳步踉蹌,逐漸往後山走去。
305Please respect copyright.PENANALYCs8WCGKi
305Please respect copyright.PENANASjLgacFI26
風漸大,雪猶落,樹影婆娑,耳邊盡是風吹過的寂寥,視線裡黑白各半,是黑夜與白雪,除此之外他難以辨別,然而腳步卻是不慢。
305Please respect copyright.PENANA5MMvQ5HlYR
305Please respect copyright.PENANARHrwe99DIj
越往山裡走,溫度越低,一身薄裳擋不住寒意,出身楚地的他耐不住這寒風與落雪,終於在一處平坦的雪地中倒了下來⋯⋯。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAJ07GM2O4pw
305Please respect copyright.PENANA4Mw57fHW5f
腦中盡是與她的點滴,每個畫面與場景揮之不去,日日糾纏他,本以為寒風能夠掃盡這些念想,哪知徒勞一場。

『小伊,妳不夠狠。』
305Please respect copyright.PENANAfoi74O412U
305Please respect copyright.PENANAEbvardZEx0
他的嗓音中透露著一股涼意,他就是要逼著她看這世界最真實的樣貌,朝廷、廟堂、江湖,哪個不是腥風血雨?哪個不是犧牲少數人才能換回多數人的和平?
305Please respect copyright.PENANAIDbrXTogW1
305Please respect copyright.PENANAkptHqB3KNF
『如果狠是成為賢君、明君的條件,那我寧可不要。』
305Please respect copyright.PENANA3N8WeEg3k1
305Please respect copyright.PENANAZzGr9GIvaG
『妳太天真,只要身居高位,必有抉擇的一日⋯⋯假使有日必須犧牲我,妳也不能猶豫。』
305Please respect copyright.PENANAn60SVQm26B
305Please respect copyright.PENANAa3MfQi8zi4
『⋯⋯楚先生,從那日隨你入爐,你就該知道,我不是那樣的人。』這話說的極輕,她接著道:『我不會拿誰作為籌碼,也不會為了任何事去犧牲任何人。』
305Please respect copyright.PENANAbnF39tgQXI
305Please respect copyright.PENANAUFxZqehOS4
『每個人都是一顆棋子,而佈局者的責任就是善用每一顆棋,無論是犧牲還是奉獻。』冷冽的嗓音自口中傳出,恰如他的心一樣的冷。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAIp0Tb2Mi8l
305Please respect copyright.PENANAUYd2H7bOGF
『小伊,輪到妳落子了。』催促著,他終究沒打算放過她,他步步逼近,強迫她去抉擇,究竟該犧牲誰。
305Please respect copyright.PENANA0lj6EkUPLc
305Please respect copyright.PENANAy2paYQlGZ5
『對楚先生而言⋯⋯』她深吸一口氣,道:『自始自終,我都是一顆棋子嗎?』
305Please respect copyright.PENANAJkeNkQHlhD
305Please respect copyright.PENANAO7wAR78vn8
『是。』
305Please respect copyright.PENANAE14X6VMrOy
305Please respect copyright.PENANApCS4MrCFwc
『⋯⋯楚先生也是?』
305Please respect copyright.PENANAKesKJ97Hon
305Please respect copyright.PENANApvC6eDPkjL
『是。』
305Please respect copyright.PENANAjwFaIf6L1x
305Please respect copyright.PENANAnl5CogwppM
305Please respect copyright.PENANATM0gw6CYE4
305Please respect copyright.PENANArfSoajNwqA
棋桌上,兩人對峙良久。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAGscwZmKBuE
305Please respect copyright.PENANATMSFCIAdpF
『看來是我功夫還不到家,改日、改日再來請教先生。』語畢,不待回應,她徑直走出門外。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAfRnalgYis4
305Please respect copyright.PENANAShsobRe1KY
『⋯⋯。』男人沈默不語,瞧這反應估計是被氣到了,走得倉促,全無平日那般有禮。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAJyi33PrsBD
305Please respect copyright.PENANAF558G24xyQ
他不認為他錯了,他不過就是壞心了點,用這種方式教她世界的殘酷⋯⋯弄得她負氣離去,竟是一絲愧疚也無。
305Please respect copyright.PENANA4cQdFzebPk
305Please respect copyright.PENANANBFdVbgPAv
直到進屋收拾桌面的小廝打斷了他的思緒,道:『楚先生,方才在門外遇見了少主,她道楚先生這兒風沙大,要我多替先生注意點,但我瞧沒什麼風啊。』
305Please respect copyright.PENANAAazcqqEMUu
305Please respect copyright.PENANAB9jGLAMcvt
『風⋯⋯?』
305Please respect copyright.PENANAJOVAzr4Ogk
305Please respect copyright.PENANAArRd7EjawU
正疑惑,卻聽那小廝道:『這兒怎麼有水?』
305Please respect copyright.PENANAaqPEGDdm3G
305Please respect copyright.PENANAE50IOObtHr
腦中一個激靈,他突然明白為何她離去的如此倉促,明白為何她說風沙大,也明白為何⋯⋯
305Please respect copyright.PENANA1PB1o3qjFH
305Please respect copyright.PENANANbXHAWCnD2
趕忙起身去追她,卻因視力而險些摔倒在地,多虧了眼明手快的小廝扶了一把,他急道:『快去追她!』
305Please respect copyright.PENANAHeeVzUCru8
305Please respect copyright.PENANAGjFU2Xnhm2
仰躺在雪中,他憶起那日,心中備感愧疚。
305Please respect copyright.PENANARc5fpdEXJn
305Please respect copyright.PENANABToJBQmyRb
最後仍未追上她,他站在轉動完畢的萬象陣前沈默許久,無人知曉少主去了何處,最後是在郭管家的幫助下才知她去了現世,說是要散散心。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAI0AiJsYXJx
305Please respect copyright.PENANAFh5Yr2yFgf
眾人不解發生何事,他卻是了然於心。
305Please respect copyright.PENANA5ab1hQRNbs
305Please respect copyright.PENANA9JeBY2gh2e
朦朧的視線亮著一團銀白,月亮高掛在天頂,恰如那日爐中,一道小小身影自上方墜落,哭喊著他的名,緊緊抱著他,怎麼也不肯放手的勁兒⋯⋯直至今日猶清晰。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAZtU2PDIVvd
305Please respect copyright.PENANA5o2lzenQRL
她說,她不會放棄。
她說,她會心疼。
她說,隨她一道去空桑,那裡有他理想中的世外桃源。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAw42QurrWkK
305Please respect copyright.PENANALJQX3leAi1
四周的寒冷包圍了他,陷在雪中,意識逐漸朦朧⋯⋯。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAwXdgU8IJ4i
305Please respect copyright.PENANA9BSx5XBYTB
不知何時,耳邊傳來踏雪聲,那人腳步越來越急,直到撲到他身上,他的視線驟然變暗,面容有點冰涼,似乎有什麼落到了臉上。
305Please respect copyright.PENANADTzp0gVQAS
305Please respect copyright.PENANAdMIJrdG33f
莫哭。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAu1OFK9TCTq
305Please respect copyright.PENANAlf3jA6hfMm
他想說話,卻說不出口;想替那人拭淚,卻抬不起手。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAMFhZmZNeNH
305Please respect copyright.PENANAd6RRbOQH1F

305Please respect copyright.PENANAVxNs1f0ukf
「醒了?」
305Please respect copyright.PENANA8VVbX3Imkk
305Please respect copyright.PENANA1hGIexE61n
再次醒來,身邊繞著許多植物,他在神醫的藥房裡。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAj4GP6McCv4
305Please respect copyright.PENANAc8ayeFuwmB
腦袋太沉,渾身乏力,他緩了一陣才得以開口:「她呢?」
305Please respect copyright.PENANAfLpzzgtOWB
305Please respect copyright.PENANAfJ6zz1V9J6
「不在。」
305Please respect copyright.PENANA6gwfiq0BLy
305Please respect copyright.PENANA5ASExjvAGT
聞聲,他急忙下地,欲尋她,卻聽屠蘇道:「我知你不在意自己身體,但看在我那蠢徒兒的份上,還是多珍惜自己些。」
305Please respect copyright.PENANAkYO4Ms4Z9y
305Please respect copyright.PENANAr8naKZLYXl
男人身姿一頓,安份下來。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAJs73LOfdBj
305Please respect copyright.PENANA3g7USM8Tmh
平日神醫是懶得多說,但看在兩位當事人要死要活的模樣,他還是勸了一句。這群人沒事找事,都只會給他添麻煩!
305Please respect copyright.PENANACWb7JGB9QC
305Please respect copyright.PENANAgG2Bp27Oir
「⋯⋯我睡了多久?」
305Please respect copyright.PENANAmy1PKgFcoU
305Please respect copyright.PENANAMGPqGETh6t
「也就半日。」屠蘇喚來一名藥僮,接著道:「這碗藥喝了,你再去尋她不遲。」
305Please respect copyright.PENANAtJDzErS0EE
305Please respect copyright.PENANAf6JGAvMJi3
鼻尖傳來熟悉的湯藥味,他想起這幾日的煎熬,正要推阻,卻聽神醫道:「喝了吧,你會感謝我的。」
305Please respect copyright.PENANA4HUJYmvMHc
305Please respect copyright.PENANAlzOlB2ObgT
捧著那碗湯藥躊躇一陣,最後還是一飲而盡。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAlRhIlLjw1n
305Please respect copyright.PENANAStq3KpBKX0
一出神醫所在的藥園,那小廝趕忙上前扶他,道:「楚先生,您可還好?」
305Please respect copyright.PENANAROkC2WZpql
305Please respect copyright.PENANAZERdOWGaaz
「無礙。」
305Please respect copyright.PENANAgT0DyzrLuG
305Please respect copyright.PENANABXXfuJi5Fh
「那就好,那夜裡風雪如此兇猛,楚先生怎地到了後山呀⋯⋯對了,這是少主要我交給楚先生的。」
305Please respect copyright.PENANARkiG4im1Mu
305Please respect copyright.PENANAIlO6zPAM45
手中接過那物,摸起來似乎是封信?
305Please respect copyright.PENANAyv0P8M5gNK
305Please respect copyright.PENANArW1AOQqzB2
「可請你替我⋯⋯。」
305Please respect copyright.PENANAwqGkNtbT9X
305Please respect copyright.PENANAfe4sjyYzdF
話未說完,邊聽那小廝忙道:「這不妥,少主交代要楚先生親自讀信。」
305Please respect copyright.PENANA5WWAvrpThL
305Please respect copyright.PENANA0sfWSxj0FM
305Please respect copyright.PENANAZlhOMbSIk6
305Please respect copyright.PENANAUrwzQkFTFt
自從收到那封信後,楚逸的心情一直不怎麼好。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAx0Se2r2qKT
305Please respect copyright.PENANAzVEjQ6xVJf
連帶幾個來找他下棋的人,紛紛遭遇了史上最慘烈的虐殺,連當中棋藝最精湛的八仙都被虐個片甲不留。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAp7vQ12gN4y
305Please respect copyright.PENANApRoroIXEdS
「楚先生這手真是精妙,學生佩服。」八仙道。被當成菜雞虐上半日,也不見他氣餒,反倒一副諄諄好學的模樣。
305Please respect copyright.PENANADcogUfqNjo
305Please respect copyright.PENANAtcbctp2ecT
「⋯⋯不過是重現了戰國時期,著名的長平之戰,此役秦大克趙,往後各國便不再有力獨自抗秦。這攻勢凌厲,為秦軍所愛用。」
305Please respect copyright.PENANAone7GI0yNe
305Please respect copyright.PENANAk8fVnJBHQN
「學生受教了,這雷厲風行的手段,與楚先生先前的棋風大相徑庭,倒讓學生開了眼界。」
305Please respect copyright.PENANAKkkTP4s4nX
305Please respect copyright.PENANAvedlJPxC8c
真是⋯⋯該說此人胸懷大度、至輸贏於度外呢?還是該說他單純?
305Please respect copyright.PENANAKwdxHrO7IA
305Please respect copyright.PENANAtED1Cy1Noo
沒有預期的反應,楚逸倒有些興致缺缺。他其實是想看著那些找他下棋的人,一臉苦惱、煩憂的樣子⋯⋯然而見八仙如此勤奮好學,全然不受影響,他心中微惱。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAY6mNHXsFy4
305Please respect copyright.PENANAFClitMVo2O
接著又想起她曾說過,她之所以能破解湘妃竹中的棋局,是因曾與八仙商討過棋局、棋譜。這麼說來,他從上古時期的迷局中甦醒,還得多虧此人了?意識到這點,心中又酸又澀。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAo0qg5wfUIo
305Please respect copyright.PENANAdZjrnOEnCN
「那麼,學生不打擾楚先生休息了。」八仙算了算時間,起身行禮,接著道:「師妹有交代,陪楚先生下棋適可而止,莫影響楚先生休養,學生告辭了。」
305Please respect copyright.PENANAKWYLN7xFAb
305Please respect copyright.PENANAuRmBYNWpep
「⋯⋯!?」一個個都要他好好休養,結果當事人卻躲他躲到不見蹤影!若非眼疾,他還找不到她嗎?一個山河迷陣下去,不管是在空桑還是現世,逮她根本易如反掌!
305Please respect copyright.PENANAhN1hzMNyFU
305Please respect copyright.PENANAM84VR64S4N
心中氣結,卻拿她沒辦法,待人遠去,他摸出胸口那張紙,攤了開來。
305Please respect copyright.PENANA35yKnxaNpX
305Please respect copyright.PENANAMAEf5CsOdk
信紙不比棋盤,棋盤能感知,信紙卻不能,上頭寫了什麼,他不好辨別。
305Please respect copyright.PENANAuLUzyfZ3BX
305Please respect copyright.PENANARMgwkBpz9f
估計這就是神醫說的,配合吃藥他會感激他的——待眼疾好轉,就能看清信紙所寫,如此⋯⋯也就能看清她的面容、她的情緒。
