夜色如墨，家家戶戶紛紛點起懸掛於外牆的水漣燈，水漣燈的光如清透水光，明亮了沁涼如水的恬靜夜晚。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43pMN7KQtQ
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28CN9V1nbk
悄然來訪的綿綿細雨，在水面上掀起一波波微小漣漪，雨打荷葉的輕響幽微而空靈，於朦朧的江南煙雨天聽來格外清晰。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7ejgUozMF
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI9uFnpnfH
這場雨已經連續下了七天七夜，對我們這些水生水長的連方鎮居民而言，可是身心舒暢的好日子，不少鎮民都會待在自家水閣裡賞荷聽雨，怡然自得。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pEj0TvoU4
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhf4FNfvxF
「漪洀，許久不見了，快坐下吧。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡretVa2kkrT
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcWaHqeCDH
在青門客棧的水閣內烹茶的清漣，姿態端雅地如同被雨水清洗的蓮花，他看見我的到來，便熱情地笑著招呼我。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2epFv2049G
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fme7cffdS
我默默地頷首致意，坐在他對面的座位上。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeURRgVUWr
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipOu3UvsJQ
石桌上的茶水正被炭爐煮得暖熱，飄散出氤氳茶香，與被雨水洗得清透的淡淡蓮香，融混成更加悠遠清洌的芬芳。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG3LQQtaKc
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxuykCcshe
「來到這了，先喝杯茶暖暖身吧。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1iZOYFPhO
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs60hEPInG
清漣在我的青竹茶盞裡注入茶水，澄清的碧綠茶湯上浮盪著一枚淡粉蓮瓣，更顯雅致清趣。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yLCPJfFJF
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkgAI1TRQa
我沒有理由拒絕，清冽茶水滑入我口中的剎那，喉舌間便凝聚了一股頗具深韻的苦澀，但細嚐到底後，舒展開來的是滲入心脾的清透甘甜。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgdqr7VrBP
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GThCDi0ge
「你煮的蓮心清露，已經跟清波姨的不相上下了呢。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y91Mazfro
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3JBqfW0fV
聽見我的感嘆之語，清漣的唇角勾起欣慰卻又些許苦澀的笑，說道：「娘親已經不在了，若我不能煮出來的話，這味道就要失傳了……」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WceH7bCdA
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2gFP8fEkq
語畢，沉默在我和清漣周遭悄悄蔓延，淅瀝瀝的雨聲在默然中迴響著。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsakwlj4Tp1
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZfJ2Gcey2
三年前，清漣和涓兒成親後，我就搬離了青門客棧，不再當客棧的夥計。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWtWEe9Vog
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpR2YDvMO4
我選擇在連方鎮偏僻的某處定居，成為舟夫替外來客擺渡以餬口，避免與清漣有過多接觸。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYdHMVm1tO
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TCZjBoqjW
清漣似乎看出我對他的刻意迴避，他沒有向我深究原因，把心思都放在青門客棧和妻子身上，我和清漣也愈漸疏離。過去十幾年親密無間的情誼，被歲月的匆匆流逝給輕易沖淡。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yFWVKH3D2
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSl0OibJBw
這幾年來，即使無法化解的苦悶於胸口不斷積累沉澱，這樣的距離卻讓我獲得了心靈的寧靜，我可以學著慢慢放下這段情思，讓將來的自己能笑著說，對清漣的這份情愛只是年少輕狂的誤解罷了。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpASqRnaro
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xOvM9YnUy
但是今夜，清漣主動邀我到青門客棧品茶敘舊，不尋常的邀約讓我心底湧起強烈的不安，但隱然生出一絲的期盼，卻又讓我前來赴約……386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQX4mhJrpS
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6iGmCMx0N
「漪洀，如今你過得好嗎？舟夫的工作應該很操勞吧。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPY1zAQ9ix
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qMROmb1eo
清漣首先打破靜默，而我則輕啜一口茶，淡淡地道：「還好，工作再辛勞，習慣了便沒什麼，反正日子總得過下去……」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnywhz4q1qI
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nV5ahEdG1
雖然這些年不是沒跟清漣見過面，但像這樣坐下來好好說話卻是少見，我偷偷覷看清漣幾眼，他的眉眼已擺脫年少時期的青澀稚嫩，多了幾分成熟穩重的韻味，舉手投足間展現內在本質的清俊秀雅，讓我的目光依依不捨地在他身上流連徘徊。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdBl3Y5MYv
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU9scLMHoJ
此時我才驚覺，我對清漣的情意不但沒有消退，反而蘊積得更加深重，在看見他時一股腦傾瀉而出。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNaWAfE9Uw
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OATVKVeZm
難以抑止的情思滿漲於胸口，這般糾纏著我的冤孽魔障，如同無底泥沼，終究令我陷溺而向下沉淪，此生無法脫離了嗎……？386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdoZb15W4A
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtUCpRspso
縱使內心是千頭萬緒的洶湧澎湃，我卻將其壓抑在平靜淡漠的表情之下，不讓清漣察覺到我的糾結心思。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQLkS25wpd
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuxR385I9u
「是嗎，你覺得好就好了。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRQICcQExw
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLzRnvs5iW
對於我故作淡漠的回應，清漣露出釋懷似的神情，將目光投向水閣外的雨幕濛濛。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBSNAdvQ94
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jaxyEoyot
「以前你剛來這的時候，還老是懊惱自己學不會渡舟，但過沒多久，你的渡舟仙法就使得比我還行了。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYfeu5aajo
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKBwCM0esc
「那時你總是晃悠悠地渡著蓮舟，而我就坐在你的蓮舟上頭，天南地北地說著各種故事軼聞，一同行遍連方鎮裡的每條水路。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIAlmNb2Wh
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9I6GnadLL
「然後等到天完全黑了，我們就點著水漣燈回家，回到家後娘親都會叨唸我們一番，卻又已經煮好了夜宵給我們，就怕我們餓著了……」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmzW5taLvO
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkwqGmgsVw
清漣低啞的聲音滿溢懷思，宛若悠悠流水，溯回遙遠歲月的彼岸386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4wIgRDP4n
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkVXqYhM2c
「那些，已是好久好久以前的往事了。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UygR1uIYb
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD7vTyvHzF
我淡然地提醒清漣，那段無憂無慮的日子，是我們已然回不去的往昔。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7dMTTGlCK
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eSBRoNsA9
「是啊，你說得對。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5d0a6lD7N
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JqrtESSWP
清漣從我的話裡明白了，他的心緒從記憶彼端回到當下，那一雙清明澈亮的瞳眸正對著我。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYGsCpVd1S
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCQ4xpSFOq
那一刻，一道細微漣漪，在我死寂已久的心湖悄悄擴大。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyZ1EbKYGt
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oCuSQ0M9U
「漪洀，我有件事想拜託你。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtR0eVFzOx
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aD9P9cuOF
「什麼事，先說吧。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOcRik5oK5
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81idZ6PLcN
我沒有直接答應清漣，因為清漣的態度誠懇而嚴肅，卻隱然透著一股訣別的堅決，讓我心裡生出一絲憂慮。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5Ck1bG5pN
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ23W5PBg2x
「我想拜託你，在我離開這裡之後，替我照顧涓兒。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpeOhHcbHR
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPma2MiuUt
如同一道猛雷直劈我的腦袋，我愣了半晌說不出話。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE9owkJDdc
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNV70zc11P
過了許久，我發出近乎嘶啞的聲音：「你要去哪裡？你找我來，就只是為了說這個嗎？」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6gUuR1H4Y
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXY99iOIv7
「漪洀，你現在還不知道吧，我們黃朝與西方異族的戰爭，已經蔓延到武陵山南方來了。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPyRWsf7xS
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo2F3tZDpY
「這是前幾日投宿在我們客棧的京城商人帶來的消息，據說前方戰事吃緊，黃朝軍節節敗退，死傷慘重。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YP5UBjUB1
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUyb0V3i9q
清廉語重心長地說道，神情無比凝重，我已經隱約察覺到這番話背後所代表的含意……386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbOsaZHXvl
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv759V9cf1
「再過不久，朝廷就要徵召新的兵源了，之前我們連方鎮因地處偏遠，所以沒有受到徵召，但我想這次徵兵令就會來到我們這了。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTORsoHk9Xh
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJFwyZRrmv
「連方鎮裡所有入籍的男丁應該會被徵召入伍，但漪洀你不同，你是從外地來的孤兒，籍冊上不會有你的名字，你也不會被徵召。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPQReVcFbX
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8857Ak1lC6
「所以我想拜託你，在我入伍後替我照顧涓兒，現在涓兒有了身孕，留下她一人在這，我始終放心不下啊。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQR7XZSbXB
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOhfrXI3kd
「這是我對你，最後的請求……」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4BLur03rm
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg8E1PFAj3
清漣極為哀戚地低聲懇求，坦露出最真實的軟弱及無奈。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh1ldGyJfc
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXn9I0e4Za
我默默的聽他說完，然後面無表情地冷然道：「你以為我會像以前那般，答應你的任何要求嗎？」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36PXLc11bi
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDirnxrA0WG
清漣在那一瞬面露愕然，料想不到我會這般斬釘截鐵地拒絕他。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F6oPTL9cC
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaS6r1glmD
「我知道我對你有所虧欠，但你忍心涓兒受苦嗎？」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡploCQC2g0S
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdPIO7kh94
「這話什麼意思？」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEttcy3lHMI
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bT0TgSwFc
我感到不太對勁，風雨欲來山滿樓的強烈不安充塞我的內心。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiIfuu36aI
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriJOkBCLXq
「我明白的，漪洀，其實你對涓兒，是有情的吧……」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7yluoj6at
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO9IlRxPCc
伴隨這句話朝我襲來的洶湧激流，將我整個人徹底吞沒。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0oeVn0iWR
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkO1JzwOsR
雖然清漣滿載哀愁的清俊面龐在我眼底無比清晰，但我的心裡卻是昏黑一片，無法多作思慮，只能用嘶啞低沉的聲音，從乾澀得發緊的喉間擠出沉重的疑問：「你為什麼……會如此想？」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH3YWT9w0m
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuHWq3l1Sn
「其實很久以前，我就害怕涓兒會對你萌生情意，所以才會想先對涓兒表明心意。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zTJpR4v8A
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcab1pdra9
「但自從我和涓兒在一起後，你整個人就變得不太舒坦，抑鬱寡歡，像是不想看到我和涓兒走得太近。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUp8kH7sR4
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAaKIFc9Bw
「所以我就察覺到你對涓兒有情，但我卻選擇忽略你的感受，因為我是真心喜歡涓兒。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPQWIZOI0C
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoNtiATz4U
「然而你卻因為顧慮我，一直隱忍下來，甚至在我和涓兒成親後，獨自搬離客棧。這一切都是我逼你的……我對不起你……」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm51t6AwDM
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X6nlUmJlg
清漣鏗鏘有力的音調，把他深藏多年的心聲說得真真切切，他的一字一句都在緊掐著我的心房。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRiXY2BZc8
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp0jb8zfF0
我的劇烈心跳是無聲的吶喊，我想叫清漣不要再說了，卻發現自己發不出一點聲音。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4W48bwzkl
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NEg7GQX1Q
「你這一生都不會原諒我也沒關係，但如果你還對涓兒有一絲憐惜，在我走後，就請你替我……」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxGOAmUjlR
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuX24f1HHO
「不，清漣，你始終什麼都不明白。」386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvsUaPAb4x
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxdJ3d5vYu
我冷冷吐出的這句話像猛然丟進水裡的小石子，在深靜清幽的雨夜，在清漣的雙眸中，掀起困惑驚疑的重重波紋。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ17vvcIOI5
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMF9pzROtx
我近乎偏執地凝視那滄桑俊雅的面容，一股油然而生的衝動，令我想對他宣洩蘊藏多年的深深情思，義無反顧地投身進那雙清澈如水的眼眸中，即使會就此溺斃也無所謂……386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbXeKyOUqa
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLWFTM0ccC
但，一切都只是空想。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bzNkvowMt
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6KewgPL6i
我逕自起身踏出青門客棧的大門，將那杯還留有餘溫的蓮心清露，清漣的聲聲挽留，盡數拋在身後，只留下空寂的淅淅雨聲以及最後無言的道別。386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwhRojiFZx
