體育倉庫位在主校舍後方的操場旁。169Please respect copyright.PENANAIDPXLUJvll
169Please respect copyright.PENANAs4RLY0i7C4
我們學校本身雖然人數不多,但在佔地方面可是相當可觀的,光是操場就佔了將近一公頃多的面積,我想這是當初考量到要給全村的人共同使用的關係。169Please respect copyright.PENANALulDM0DFa0
169Please respect copyright.PENANAOwuBWArGGo
也正因為倉庫是如此地距離遙遠,白天的時候也成了眼前這個不良教師躲藏的最佳去處。169Please respect copyright.PENANAgk9ItaET2r

「不然我沒事何苦要開窗呢,上班時還是要小心謹慎呀,要是給校長看到可就死定了啊!哈哈哈哈!」169Please respect copyright.PENANAxtjwOPNxNu
169Please respect copyright.PENANArgqz7wwUGK
「哎──懶得說你了,只要把體育倉庫的氣窗關掉就好吧,我會去幫你關的。」169Please respect copyright.PENANARXbZxby8Eg

「還真是幫了我一個大忙呢,謝謝啦來夏,下次請妳吃我家後院種的玉米怎麼樣。」169Please respect copyright.PENANAZDiLdsb2CW
169Please respect copyright.PENANAAMKUKHjo6W
「那還真是謝謝你啊,只不過你到底是憑哪點覺得會有女孩子因為這種事情高興的。」169Please respect copyright.PENANAqS2Kn6KoCX

「這個嘛,會不會是男人野性的直覺呢。」169Please respect copyright.PENANA50t6c5KdWF

很好,這傢伙居然故作帥氣地把手放到下巴去,到底是哪來的自信啊。169Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZlnYjao1N

在跟葛城老師道別後,由於後門已經鎖上的關係,我朝著校舍前方的大門前進。169Please respect copyright.PENANAiOMI1mGfMQ
169Please respect copyright.PENANAk2FdUXmhRO
169Please respect copyright.PENANAX6iqStsyxM
雖然剛剛嘴巴上那樣講,但我其實並不討厭他這個人。169Please respect copyright.PENANA2t6m8Sosx3
169Please respect copyright.PENANAkHqpJu500O
其實並不只是為人容易相處而已,光是像他那樣擁有出色的名校學歷,還願意到這個偏僻的村落任教,我想一般人恐怕很難做到吧,為了這件事情,當初他來到學校的時候還受到校長大肆表揚一番,只差沒有鋪上紅地毯歡迎了。169Please respect copyright.PENANAMwWMuSBkrU
169Please respect copyright.PENANAbxsgC8kH1M
現在想想,我們讀國中時他當初那生澀的模樣還挺有趣的,而且那時候外表乾淨清爽,戴著銀框眼鏡的他遠比現在還要帥上兩倍……不對不對,至少也有三倍才對!畢竟連我當初都對他有點心動呢,可惜隨著時間經過,葛城老師也以他最適應村子的方式演變成如今的模樣,就跟生物課本上教到用進廢退學說一模一樣。169Please respect copyright.PENANAARqVvQDhwE
169Please respect copyright.PENANAFE6lIDy3vd
就算如此,在我家經歷了那麼多事情以後,其實到了現在我也還是──169Please respect copyright.PENANAiPXpVYpUlm
169Please respect copyright.PENANAa5KfW1ZWV4
169Please respect copyright.PENANAHaKGfk1DzN
「……也變得太冷了吧,果然剛剛還是該拒絕那傢伙!」169Please respect copyright.PENANAs4zsuk4yNt
169Please respect copyright.PENANAu9ffFNFKfu
169Please respect copyright.PENANARss6T3RKlN
推開校舍那桃木製成的大門以後,凜冽的強風吹得我臉頰都不由得刺痛了起來。169Please respect copyright.PENANAkCdC3kejrj
169Please respect copyright.PENANAjfoTG2cbFE
剛剛在校舍裡面只是覺得窗戶被吹得很吵而已,沒想到居然是如此恐怖的颱風,看樣子大家都說是難得一見的強颱果然所言不假。169Please respect copyright.PENANAicpFBFZVEC
169Please respect copyright.PENANADKHjiMNmwk
但既然都已經先答應了,就還是趕快把事情辦完然後就回家去吧,想到這裡,我將圍巾索性綁得緊緊的,速戰速決一直都是我最高準則。169Please respect copyright.PENANAtH31zLWofU
169Please respect copyright.PENANAumtCcWbVDG
169Please respect copyright.PENANA9013nZTslQ
繞過校舍主體以後風變得更大了。169Please respect copyright.PENANAnKA4X3vObR
169Please respect copyright.PENANAv1mNfrJyJV
作為校園美化而栽植的樹木,此刻就像是啦啦隊手上拿的彩球般瘋狂地甩來甩去。169Please respect copyright.PENANAh39MV8ws2G
169Please respect copyright.PENANAHEYurwiw0F
為了節省時間,我踏上已經略為濕漉的草皮,從操場內圈一直線地橫切過去,用最快的速度躲進能夠遮風避雨的體育器材倉庫裡面,然後瞬間把門給大力拉上──!169Please respect copyright.PENANAdmqAl82oM4
169Please respect copyright.PENANAWXOoj5U1vR
169Please respect copyright.PENANAisTaX6llOj
「好冷,葛城老師這個笨蛋笨蛋笨蛋……!」169Please respect copyright.PENANAuBnwVwF3Mw
169Please respect copyright.PENANAqPJA2IXn7t
我用雙手摩擦著身子的同時,眼睛仍不忘尋找葛城老師白天所疏忽的位置。169Please respect copyright.PENANAhsyg3QIiPl
169Please respect copyright.PENANARboGP8TptG
沒過幾秒,就在深藍色的跳高墊的上方找到了完全敞開的氣窗……給我等一下,那傢伙該不會是大剌剌地躺在這上面抽菸吧。169Please respect copyright.PENANA79rzw3quHp
169Please respect copyright.PENANAnEOuk7YFQh
169Please respect copyright.PENANAbNWiUWu89q
「啊,看到菸灰了!」169Please respect copyright.PENANA0aXVvOR9h1
169Please respect copyright.PENANAZU1XFSJKm0
根本就沒有想要湮滅證據的意思,菸草葉燃燒後產生的灰燼集中散落在藍色塑膠布料的一處,仔細看的話旁邊似乎還有人形的皺摺,一名教師到底要墮落成怎樣才能躺成這樣啊!169Please respect copyright.PENANANhTxO35rnO
169Please respect copyright.PENANARiq9za3QVu
169Please respect copyright.PENANAaUVSyQZgnf
「菸蒂的部份似乎就有好好處理,真不知道是不是該稱讚他細心,嘿唷──!」169Please respect copyright.PENANAtBTxwNNhlv
169Please respect copyright.PENANAmMLaYgGGwS
不顧形象的我高抬起腳站到軟墊上,將位於高處的氣窗牢牢關緊。169Please respect copyright.PENANANt9XH6V8IR
169Please respect copyright.PENANAejTp0wNcuU
除此之外,我還環視了整整兩圈確定所有的氣窗都已經上鎖了以後,才從墊子上輕盈地跳了下來。169Please respect copyright.PENANAkTUQBFqsxQ
169Please respect copyright.PENANA32dKZc7RfB
到此為止葛城老師所交代的任務就算是告一個段落,好!現在只要趕緊回家就──169Please respect copyright.PENANAv9xbD38pPo
169Please respect copyright.PENANAw93GQV1vJH
169Please respect copyright.PENANAIbsvIoFVLt
「……咦?」169Please respect copyright.PENANA9uPvI0uof6
169Please respect copyright.PENANATg5qk13EZn
出現了完全不在計畫裡面的突發狀況。169Please respect copyright.PENANAsFlDPpASke
169Please respect copyright.PENANA7CHAKDa4IS
倉庫那略顯老舊的金屬拉門不管我如何使力,此時此刻就像是在惡作劇似地紋風不動。169Please respect copyright.PENANAQCJMfqPSzn
169Please respect copyright.PENANAM1erRtzA6Q
169Please respect copyright.PENANAcjwzzesLU9
「不會吧……偏偏在這種時候!?」169Please respect copyright.PENANA8JngL8dR5g
169Please respect copyright.PENANASSl82dJWAj
連一點點鬆動的感覺都沒有。169Please respect copyright.PENANAKHvUUxp3pJ
169Please respect copyright.PENANA6mPHaQdWEs
我想起了擺放在外面那桶因發霉而準備報廢的老舊球棒。169Please respect copyright.PENANANQq4MoHVcH
169Please respect copyright.PENANAz08LavBu4H
假設在我關門的時候,其中隨便一根沿著牆壁滑落下來,又那麼剛好卡在拉門移動的滑軌上的話,我剛剛那麼用力拉門的舉動無疑將球棒卡的更加牢固。169Please respect copyright.PENANAkhTQYCqCyg
169Please respect copyright.PENANAnHc9WLRok5
169Please respect copyright.PENANAnOKWdhLUD1
「……這下真的死定了,喂!有沒有人聽得到啊!」169Please respect copyright.PENANAMTInX6cdE9
169Please respect copyright.PENANAMMeIiv53c1
搥著鐵門所發出的巨大聲響完全被雨聲給蓋了過去。169Please respect copyright.PENANAPBhfCPcSN3
169Please respect copyright.PENANAQJXK2kuvKR
這地方大叫救命根本沒有人會聽得到的,因為距離實在是太過遙遠,僅能用作通風的氣窗位置也不是對著校舍那邊的方向。169Please respect copyright.PENANAID8Vmb6o6e
169Please respect copyright.PENANAdcYTQdkIo0
換作平常的話或許只要待一個晚上就沒事,但偏偏發生在颱風來臨的假日,照這勢頭至少兩天都不會有人到學校來吧。169Please respect copyright.PENANAdwTgpoWI5y
169Please respect copyright.PENANAuVxfjDfHTk
更何況我又是一個人住,即使我沒回家也不會有人發現。169Please respect copyright.PENANAj1r1vZwI5X
169Please respect copyright.PENANAixqHeigwwy
169Please respect copyright.PENANAvMnBKLRw2y
「喂! 我被困在體育倉庫這裡了啦! 拜託誰都好趕快來救我啦……!」169Please respect copyright.PENANAIKexiSZWSe
169Please respect copyright.PENANA7J7pwXd8b2
想到這裡全身的汗毛都豎立起來,只好盡可能地從氣窗對著外面大喊。169Please respect copyright.PENANApDoTZRzfjV
169Please respect copyright.PENANAI5PIpBTXmz
結果不論我怎樣大喊大鬧,外面理所當然地沒有任何人回應我的呼救。169Please respect copyright.PENANAPp56MLbhEH
169Please respect copyright.PENANATskhX54ayn
連續喊了至少有二十分鐘吧,考量到現況有多麼惡劣後,已經氣餒的我只好全身無力地倚靠著跳高軟墊滑坐到地上。169Please respect copyright.PENANAjdum70fFAh
169Please respect copyright.PENANAu3IOddilaK
169Please respect copyright.PENANA7qUE7pRhCc
「哎,難道真的要在這裡過夜嗎……」169Please respect copyright.PENANAIgsEqHe2QP
169Please respect copyright.PENANAT8zkedxENm
沒有燈又刮風下雨什麼的一定很恐怖吧。169Please respect copyright.PENANAv97r7kGbsf
169Please respect copyright.PENANA3U4G1hCuU3
肚子也開始有點餓了。169Please respect copyright.PENANAIVJRLFVDm6
169Please respect copyright.PENANAWDz8oxvrtD
雖然最近有點在意體重的問題,但還是好想吃暖呼呼的壽喜燒……169Please respect copyright.PENANAd0lBY9LzeX
169Please respect copyright.PENANAvUVoLTOi9q
169Please respect copyright.PENANAB3b5hO2plx
「對了,我有跟穗香約了要過去……」169Please respect copyright.PENANA8B0QQNrmHB
169Please respect copyright.PENANAihFR2AtVqw
靈光一閃的腦袋突然想起了不久前的約定。169Please respect copyright.PENANAB8QEYzVXxT
169Please respect copyright.PENANAIAXqwbYZ6e
要是容易擔心的穗香回到家發現我沒過去赴約的話,肯定會通知葛城老師才對。169Please respect copyright.PENANA49sfSMGac9
169Please respect copyright.PENANAXCn9AUYAQs
169Please respect copyright.PENANA1vfh55wZKb
「可惡,就只能等了嗎……」169Please respect copyright.PENANAk7ms2dzuNO
169Please respect copyright.PENANA9jLE5rALoN
雖然情況似乎沒有我想像中那麼糟糕。169Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6fW1udz6i
169Please respect copyright.PENANAJa8kgg2YRK
或許最快到了晚餐時間就會獲救吧,現在只能等待著穗香儘快發現異況了。169Please respect copyright.PENANA01CpZyJIbH
169Please respect copyright.PENANAEJJyQ2RhOc
開始覺得有點冷的我,從旁邊塑膠籃裡拿出一面旗幟披在身上保暖,在等待救援的漫長時間裡不知不覺地進入睡夢之中。169Please respect copyright.PENANAtQA41biZo7

我和妹妹冬笑的感情並不好。169Please respect copyright.PENANA3NcI4g5QTU
169Please respect copyright.PENANAM9IxfJzcsf
169Please respect copyright.PENANAsRPhZf4RoH
不過不只是單單針對我而已,冬笑一直厭惡著整個村子。169Please respect copyright.PENANAYLII9D6UDN
169Please respect copyright.PENANAIUt9urBWKO
對於這種封閉環境難以忍受的她,從升上國中開始就常常找機會蹺課往城市裡面跑。169Please respect copyright.PENANAhLN81vOFpQ
169Please respect copyright.PENANA4MP6ixtnmK
儘管小時候她曾經在森林裡走失了好幾次,最後都是我排除萬難把哭哭啼啼的她帶回家,但這對她來說似乎也不是什麼重要的回憶就是了。169Please respect copyright.PENANAK2p73T23iM
169Please respect copyright.PENANAvVk8xKlfIU
169Please respect copyright.PENANAOSZ6us4R4a
……到後來我們之間根本連對話都沒有。169Please respect copyright.PENANAHQPEj2Qv3j
169Please respect copyright.PENANAxIyjkENr21
要說交集的話,頂多就是在下樓時剛好遇到,看著畫著淡妝的她身穿能夠展現姣好身材的短褲,挾帶著對我來說有點強烈的香水味離家而去,有時候兩三天不回家更是家常便飯的事。169Please respect copyright.PENANAAWVQ0yWyxC
169Please respect copyright.PENANAuf4VwA2l7F
雖然當時我自己是覺得她變得漂亮了沒錯,但冬笑過於囂張的行徑不免遭受到村人們私底下的指指點點,反而讓她更加疏遠與村子之間的關係。169Please respect copyright.PENANAtaNdgdB0x9
169Please respect copyright.PENANAQCej8Jjy3D
現在想想,要是當時能跟她敞開心胸交流的話,或許也不會導致現在這樣了吧。169Please respect copyright.PENANA1i3oXAtgAI
169Please respect copyright.PENANAovLpYHJgVo
169Please respect copyright.PENANA9LpL9aYTWj
在她最後一次離家大約四天後,我才從父親的口中輾轉得知她的死訊。169Please respect copyright.PENANAc1ySGj1faQ
169Please respect copyright.PENANASloVBRQiJW
169Please respect copyright.PENANA0j0yO7WbbI
冬笑的死因是姦殺。169Please respect copyright.PENANA108xLxBreJ
169Please respect copyright.PENANAHY0z5HTaQw
光是寫起來就讓人怵目驚心的兩個字,實際發生在自己的家人身上有多殘酷就不言而喻了。169Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1GFCP2pzS
169Please respect copyright.PENANAVZX6w0e1OY
遺體從都市裡運送回來只花了不到兩三天的時間。169Please respect copyright.PENANAr7oxE1sBCG
169Please respect copyright.PENANAUH38iaRjlP
從小一同長大的妹妹,在鮮花蔟擁的葬禮上以與她十分不相稱的睡顏躺在那裡。169Please respect copyright.PENANAddHLsjnAjd
169Please respect copyright.PENANApWN5V9Lfu5
然而,那即使用濃妝也難以遮掩、滿是瘀血的臉頰,指甲也斷了好幾片,以及不經意看到那慘白色澤的小腿,至今對我來說仍舊是難以抹滅的痛苦記憶。169Please respect copyright.PENANAhvSVBCBBF8
169Please respect copyright.PENANAdOfyFK58zb
169Please respect copyright.PENANAluQPolCwje
在冬笑死後,每天只知道哭泣的母親終究積鬱成疾而辭世。169Please respect copyright.PENANAk6a5h8Fter
169Please respect copyright.PENANANKNOEsu2yk
而飽受各方面壓力的父親藉著酒精來麻痺現實,脾氣也變得非常暴躁,最後在隔年母親忌日那天,選擇以自殺來終結他的人生。169Please respect copyright.PENANAVI1rACo0gs
169Please respect copyright.PENANAwYgPHkbdlw
169Please respect copyright.PENANA5FG5q59XEs
我還記得那天是個相當悶熱的早晨。169Please respect copyright.PENANARlaImQ754L
169Please respect copyright.PENANAwKdvlnv30j
在我換好制服、準備好早餐,卻遍尋不著理應出現在餐桌前的父親,決定前往他房間一探究竟後──169Please respect copyright.PENANAXWvMVNtVJ7
169Please respect copyright.PENANA0dHts1njA0
169Please respect copyright.PENANAWfXTCNBZGY
看見了懸吊在半空中的父親。169Please respect copyright.PENANAuYPxFaGhpY
169Please respect copyright.PENANAwFLQCRKr3Z
169Please respect copyright.PENANAudI3fFZ0pa
從他身後投射入足以讓人炫目的陽光,眼球所能捕捉到的只有像是剪影般的畫面。169Please respect copyright.PENANA2ufYVOKZ6o
169Please respect copyright.PENANARA7dVlxEFA
但是在那副身軀底下搖搖欲墜、沿著臀部那邊筆直落地的直腸,看起來就跟田裡面佇立稻草人的木桿一模一樣。169Please respect copyright.PENANA8yraxov8oL
這就是我為什麼特別厭惡稻草人的原因。169Please respect copyright.PENANApFHPj1nRmK
169Please respect copyright.PENANAtEOq29g3iR
169Please respect copyright.PENANA3W9oi5VTUu
後來,對村裡習俗什麼都不懂的我,就這樣交由村人替父親舉辦了葬禮。169Please respect copyright.PENANAEf9UlZfUBR
169Please respect copyright.PENANACLjgoYtscp
……等我意會到只剩下我一個人的時候,已經是告別式過後的一個星期了。169Please respect copyright.PENANAXrNwT6GqjY
169Please respect copyright.PENANA5DS2RM09LF
不同於戲劇裡的角色總能在放聲大哭後便得以釋懷,更多時候取代眼淚的是內心的空洞及無助感,當時的我若是放任不管的話或許會很危險也不一定。169Please respect copyright.PENANAggiJ9SAwNg
169Please respect copyright.PENANAGW7HWtBC8F
169Please respect copyright.PENANArB6bUrqJyM
唯一慶幸的是後來從村裡面的大家身上得到了許多協助。169Please respect copyright.PENANAV98n4gA0MM
169Please respect copyright.PENANAv49iiXfOZz
尤其是同樣身為孤兒的耕一,還有個性單純可愛的穗香,年紀相仿的他們總是在我身邊陪伴著,也因此現在的我才能夠回歸到平常的生活。169Please respect copyright.PENANAcUSS5oZ7XH
169Please respect copyright.PENANAXlOI9IbdMP
169Please respect copyright.PENANABPP7Cuf4MR
後來說來也奇怪,明明在之前一次都沒考慮過未來的生涯規劃。169Please respect copyright.PENANA9Dcaa2HcWf
169Please respect copyright.PENANAqxzSg2bFK4
等到實際看到出路調查表的時候,回過神來時我寫下了前往都市就讀大學的這個志願,或許是在我內心深處也想代替冬笑完成她未完的心願也說不定。169Please respect copyright.PENANAgCTUjyJB4K
