晚餐時間,海川神情慌張的趕回家裡,二話不說便開始收拾行李。他翻出兩只大皮箱,攤開後就開始往裡頭塞衣服、褲子,一副準備要出遠門的樣子。185Please respect copyright.PENANAOei7JJONqW
185Please respect copyright.PENANA3qMbfil2QT
蔡蓉當時正在廚房裡忙活,一開始還沒當回事,反正海川也不是第一回出遠門,只是沒見過行李收拾速度如此之快!好奇之餘,她暫停手邊工作,前來關切一下到底發生什麼事?185Please respect copyright.PENANAfwyac1eHP4
185Please respect copyright.PENANArYR71EVPtE
蔡蓉:「嘸你是『著猴』(中邪)唷!是欲去叨位,這麼趕緊?」185Please respect copyright.PENANANulNntr4nT
185Please respect copyright.PENANAT6cIqaFmZM
海川:「妳『暗頓』(晚餐)先莫做啊,咔緊去呷衫仔褲『款款咧』(收拾),咱欲『落去下港』(到南部去)住一陣仔。」只見他自顧自的收拾行囊,頭也沒抬的說。185Please respect copyright.PENANA7mfuZmAddS
185Please respect copyright.PENANA4QIZjjq296
蔡蓉:「毋過飯攏炊好啊,倒掉真可惜,而且……現在米錢又閣夭壽貴......」185Please respect copyright.PENANAk4UvlpkOlZ
185Please respect copyright.PENANAydpJxSjVgs
話沒說完,海川就急著打斷!他沒好氣的說:「嘸妳就先呷飯包包咧,看是欲做成飯丸還是便當,咱路上帶著吃!」185Please respect copyright.PENANA4EuVoskoiR
185Please respect copyright.PENANACe711y50aD
見海川突然急成這樣,蔡蓉也懵了,沒敢再多問,默默轉身回到廚房,依他的吩咐,把飯菜裝成便當帶走。185Please respect copyright.PENANAsivbDwFJfj
185Please respect copyright.PENANA8pG9VnO3Tq
行李收拾妥當,海川隨即緊閉家裡門窗,還都上了鎖,最後再扶著蔡蓉,一起步出家門。185Please respect copyright.PENANA8dSbV1py5d
185Please respect copyright.PENANAnaZHIqjM44
看著蔡蓉微凸的小腹,海川不禁感慨:「從明仔載開始,恐見要委屈妳一陣仔;咱會真久一段時間袂閣再轉來板橋!」185Please respect copyright.PENANA8Bo2dTiInC
185Please respect copyright.PENANAu5ZLHR0e05
聽海川這麼一說,蔡蓉更懵了!問道:「啥會?閣過一個月半就欲過年呀,你講袂轉來板橋是啥麼意思?」185Please respect copyright.PENANA0FFSHpwcWY
185Please respect copyright.PENANAWI4KdGU8Lf
海川沒急著回她,步出家門後,一輛轎車已停在門前街道上,裡頭駕駛是海川的堂兄。體諒蔡蓉有孕在身,今晚特地托堂兄開車載他們一程。185Please respect copyright.PENANAKC3RXF1GIB
185Please respect copyright.PENANAZjpKNoWsZN
路上,海川一直沒告訴蔡蓉到底怎麼回事,而是與堂兄東家長,西家短的閒聊;最後來到堂兄家裡,今晚夫妻倆先在此借住一宿。185Please respect copyright.PENANAS50KxIp6qC
185Please respect copyright.PENANAmmC5PtkTjo
隔天12月25日,這天是「行憲紀念日」,路上許多人家紛紛掛出青天白日滿地紅的國旗,看似慶賀;但在海川眼裡,很可能只是為了表忠,如同當年過日本節慶一樣。185Please respect copyright.PENANAMj3fytri1X
185Please respect copyright.PENANAvGJMf52EBh
一大早,夫妻倆來到「板橋火車站」(這時已將「驛」更名為「站」),搭首班列車南下。直到上了火車,入了座,海川這才告訴蔡蓉到底怎麼回事。185Please respect copyright.PENANAPrdfQPOW4k
185Please respect copyright.PENANAdBahVdA1eU
「後埔庄榨油的福仔、吳添福,妳敢還會記得?」海川問。185Please respect copyright.PENANAp39arQ0Rym
185Please respect copyright.PENANA5oZMALEbkx
「我記得伊呀,就是常常呷恁逗陣比牌支的油行『福仔』!」一無所知的蔡蓉,笑著說:「恁毋是閣常常笑伊名字取了嘸好,竟然叫作『嘸添福』。」185Please respect copyright.PENANA2LoHKg8LC8
185Please respect copyright.PENANAOXSdEggHgS
後來海川向蔡蓉說了一件駭人的臆測!185Please respect copyright.PENANAl9EHxyNCwo
185Please respect copyright.PENANAyHq51Oob2V
上月初,得知金富遭逮捕後,海川就開始想方設法該如何營救。他找了地方上很多有頭有臉的仕紳求助,可無奈的是,不是吃閉門羹,就是碰軟釘子!185Please respect copyright.PENANAapGOa5wYfb
185Please respect copyright.PENANACDck5od1jE
最後實在沒輒,海川只好去找卓仔幫忙;因為他自年初開始,就和國民黨走得很近,想說他應該多少有些人脈。185Please respect copyright.PENANAgycP6vNKQN
185Please respect copyright.PENANAqeYt0hqHxb
海川:「是講也真奇怪,卓仔當下並嘸答應講欲幫忙,但是過嘸兩天,富仔就轉來了!」185Please respect copyright.PENANAsR6FAb5FQR
185Please respect copyright.PENANAHbj5JByRS0
當時看到金富平安回來,海川放下心中大石後,就沒再去多想什麼;可自十二月起,住在鄰庄的好幾個好友,開始無故失蹤或遭軍隊逮捕!185Please respect copyright.PENANAe0vJGslatE
185Please respect copyright.PENANA6YYz2zTABo
直到昨天,得知福仔一家老小全讓人逮走,海川這才警覺不妙!於是開始四處找人打聽消息。185Please respect copyright.PENANAPXdnwmNdHH
185Please respect copyright.PENANA4AWhKiJGXJ
經過一番走動後,海川根據蒐集來的多方信息,再反覆琢磨,仔細推敲,最後總結出一個大膽的假設。他認為卓仔很可能為了救金富,去找國民黨的朋友說情;但對方沒道理白白答應,所以雙方之間,肯定有講好什麼交換條件!185Please respect copyright.PENANASUvvP6Ntuq
185Please respect copyright.PENANAgoegVTUvRz
總結到這裡,海川的脊樑骨不禁開始發涼!再比對一下那些被消失的朋友們,發現他們皆有一共同點,就是都曾借過錢給卓仔!185Please respect copyright.PENANAugtoe13D7U
185Please respect copyright.PENANA20qKrqOqqm
「只要債主『嘸去』(消失),安呢卓仔所欠的錢......就攏總毋免還呀!」海川心有餘悸的說。185Please respect copyright.PENANAQRc1UYA68T
185Please respect copyright.PENANAiSILw5Q62o
聽到這裡,蔡蓉突然臉色丕變!緊張的問:「安呢......阮阿弟尹敢會有代誌?敢會給人抓走?」185Please respect copyright.PENANArvOnBkLuAE
185Please respect copyright.PENANAi4P9esxXQR
「安啦。」海川信誓旦旦的說:「恁咔桑對錢真摳,不曾借過半仙錢給卓仔,應該暫時嘸歹誌!」185Please respect copyright.PENANA6oMPheAvla
185Please respect copyright.PENANAgjUEap6aN1
海川說他昨天已把烤鴨鋪和湳仔溝的事宜,全權交給阿貴去發落了!還說:「反正貴仔現在也『嘸頭路』(沒工作),請他幫贊事業,也順便歷練歷練。」185Please respect copyright.PENANAbvLlQ7wrRY
185Please respect copyright.PENANABvEkcX8xlp
可還有一事令海川放心不下,就是金富的精神狀態!何奈他自己也泥菩薩過江,自顧不暇,只好放手讓阿貴去操心了。185Please respect copyright.PENANAYPplRZoknb
185Please respect copyright.PENANAsjvLakzLrR
林家族兄那邊,海川已打過照面,倘若萬不得已,還得指望林家出手相挺。這一趟出走,他煞費苦心地下了雙保險,已是機關算盡。185Please respect copyright.PENANAT2N9xrHhVR
185Please respect copyright.PENANA5fl9auANj2
海川看著車窗外的風景,不禁感慨:「還記得五月時陣,曹大兄曾講過會死真多人!如今看來,伊應該嘸在『謗風車』(吹牛)!」185Please respect copyright.PENANAflX7TYGCeA
185Please respect copyright.PENANAgUUjwGvbL2
被關禁閉24小時後,弘爺、阿偉,與老譚他們一起獲得釋放。185Please respect copyright.PENANAjS2URxSJKm
185Please respect copyright.PENANAmiHCX0m2yA
離開號房前,弘爺與福仔在號房聊了好久,明白吳家的處境是如何嚴峻。他透過無線電,想請小玲幫個忙,試著搭救福仔一家;但很可惜,這晚無線電沒呼到她。等隔天再去號房,這才發現福仔他們已被移監他處,不知所蹤!185Please respect copyright.PENANAKv6PhhNT0A
185Please respect copyright.PENANArw9T95SJW0
1947年元旦後,有天弘爺與阿偉又隨憲兵們來到板橋,支援緝捕行動。這次他們又回到後埔庄,但逮捕的是另一戶人家;和上回吳家一樣,又是一家老小、不分男女全都帶走!185Please respect copyright.PENANA8Jqsrpisvf
185Please respect copyright.PENANALAsSMjNSTS
弘爺趁空檔,跑去隔沒兩條街的吳家查探。185Please respect copyright.PENANAATfoj7HAa3
185Please respect copyright.PENANAgo090FEA7n
路上鄉親們一看到有軍人出現,人人惟恐必之不及,趕緊轉身迴避!185Please respect copyright.PENANABubNamPgnN
185Please respect copyright.PENANAZkMKBVDjWC
弘爺來到吳家合院大門,緊閉的門板上,被人貼了封條!再從門縫看進去,裡頭依舊是人去樓空。185Please respect copyright.PENANAwFFboR3Rok
185Please respect copyright.PENANAzBSeHfBIxS
弘爺環顧四周,想找街坊問事;可這才發現,原本還熙熙攘攘的街道,全跑沒人影!離他最近的路人,是巷口轉角處,挑著扁擔的販菜郎;只見他一個轉身,就隱沒在街口轉角處!185Please respect copyright.PENANAqMRcYJCAcz
185Please respect copyright.PENANAsaJ6OZvmL3
最後弘爺實在沒有辦法,只好先行歸隊,以免消失太久,讓人起疑。185Please respect copyright.PENANAgfAxEkpTZ4
185Please respect copyright.PENANAK64vt3m3Zl
任務結束時,老譚又邀他們一起去開小差;但這回阿偉不同以往,他婉拒了!還說:「我今天人不舒服,想回去休息!」185Please respect copyright.PENANATIyfVGhy4T
185Please respect copyright.PENANA0HBSCzTgWC
弘爺見他無精打彩,於是關切了兩句。但阿偉卻言詞閃爍,含糊其詞,死活不肯正面回答!185Please respect copyright.PENANAS2dLy9s8Eh
185Please respect copyright.PENANA7Sr8AWiyF3
於是弘爺決定,不跟老譚他們去了;他想帶阿偉先回隊部,找醫官看診。
