他在梳化上猛然醒來。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQB86eyQyF
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDji72isoY
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。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh69eL8F0l
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWCcbLGFZS
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。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6OglfZeYP
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJHZ6YBA0H
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。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJJh0vVWh7
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFi3GlcOWx
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。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNTRBsxBqi
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtrhlKob0G
莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZWsOizZZH
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjtfe0QzeS
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs2jyQI0ax
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtt7rDDe60
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ52m8cram
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILY1p0MmfA
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnaUVFAbAi
抵不住。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5xUGmRjrx
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL3fSLB6QA
他決定到公園散步。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7P73Ly3HQ
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fvAaoiyZJ
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFVoMt2KrD
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZBwiAQSQB
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。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UkpyuZEar
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEp5SViVJy
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。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpeDwjXAC2
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJwmn65FjG
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9skxSmNnK
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rsIUKzGCD
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf24z01bhL3
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvPFPo05Ac
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetKUPomPJb
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHac2uKyTZ9
他不自已憶起亡妻……172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4LncOhNSJ
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs75jwyQOHx
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。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKn1gd0gx8
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxEIj9bWTO
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ76R4qLuu
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g2bQbv8Sx
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeTpqkLQCm
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6oRx8Ssqi
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor5BbmTsnL
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvAleDSlCx
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV08DOUWOHJ
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBxIqpMPW0
「快了、快了。不用著急！」172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghyIZ76rzy
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTt6BUdhzh
「即是何時？」172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNEPZKIx6B
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0LS6VP1MX
「下一個夏天。」172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQuXim46VK
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAX2WvSJdu
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。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0RUJvteSt
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLpEoHXOKc
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHCvJotJ8J
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFruvc8SafC
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85U8xkPQ8D
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W0wNgrDfX
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerHLz9A3jS
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNcSIhtWsE
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。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63zbgY9BeZ
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffERNXYKU3
內心終於安定下來。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCjm5CMLLl
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCc9BuzPVq
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』！」172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs1w5Wm6of
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53rfIo0lpl
「但你的血糖……」172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjdSkXhlvy
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN48lpPX1pE
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9WgDxGWkR
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE3c4g2Ugc
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab5yuh6CYp
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojbuvu8Vvc
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。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUgbt9ujxA
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWY60N1iwS
兒子送她一根拐杖。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLsomLr1IP
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMogEcImPl
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。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx6r4OmpGi
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW6KdfzZa3
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。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTDy6u0rET
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsIQXHnTHl
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』！」172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRASA6FchO
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt05FrvgVT
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。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaao69UFziq
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdQHeNm9pw
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。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeHI3FXpC9
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IPn8Mz5ZT
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。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MGvMAI0gK
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRVrENeMJZ
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DkAytnzHS
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshmajCVBAB
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。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ22VUk1Gp
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzcWgbHIJL
於願足矣。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf42A3hZeP3
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR77cyCf5b
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJMXDEQnKW
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY3h0tbvF0
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWS9Lz69zy
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR3PJVaFpl
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75haayXIjE
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAxskOyNLq
總得走下去，不是嗎？172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGanGC53S2
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVE29fGOl0
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh2fG23iQh
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz4kF8jJYZ
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGASb6mP7Gi
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELUV3BLWv1
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b9VTkbpkY
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ64TnWmAiM
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO9FHLdYYS
