或許是忘記他，或者是不需要他了。惠施這一去，已好久好久，都未曾有過音信。739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjNtYKJfiR

第二年的冬天，起初只是鵝毛般的細雪，到後來，雪卻愈下愈大，宋國遍地飢寒交加，莊周也不例外。739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIIPwDHdJB

其實莊周沒有甚麼不開心，只是在把那艘扁舟賣掉時，他竟格外想念起惠施來。739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb3HxaRkXu

「要是他當時不說我可以去找他，我興許是不去的……」739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy0uSmABys

躺在榻上的莊周，迷茫間睜開了雙眼，抓著惠施的手，緊緊地摁在自己的心口。左右都是僕從，這樣的動作，讓惠施顯得有些為難。739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCrH57gFCM
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI9cqJQrKv
惠施抽開了手，替莊周把被子闔上，「你又不是大王，我不是你的相國。」739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPic4Y3H8g
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXU1ZF8Pma
「我怎麼了……？」莊周躺在榻子上，看著跪在身旁的惠施。739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqdbmA3udM
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5Ih3TiMY6
「你還沒進城就餓昏了，但是你很有名氣，大家都喜歡你寫的書，也知道你是我的故人，我得了信，就把你接回來。」惠施道。739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduCFYR8T9W
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj4rTUpcao
「嗯。」莊周伸出手來，摸了摸惠施的臉，「我的公子，你的表情好像有些奇怪，怎麼了嗎？」739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2YkaGXU6F
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNd68D9UM1
惠施猶豫了一會兒，纔說道：「我得回宮一趟，不能一直獃在這兒。你有些風寒，我已吩咐府裏的人調些肉羹給你喫了，你多喫點，病纔能養好，知道不？」739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDeo0K13a9
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7zeiV3XXa
惠施的神色終究是有些複雜，然而他按著自己的手，以及他的神色又是如此溫柔。739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vzE8QuILo
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4PSMZhJX8
莊周在惠施府上調養身體的期間，不時聽到下人們偷偷地在他背後議論道：「這位就是來搶老爺相位的人嗎」、「瞧他衣衫襤褸，大王不會採用他吧」、「老爺不是要把他殺掉嗎？為什麼還接待他？」739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFMLoqOgfM
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiDaGpTl6q
莊周明白了。739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0OBL7MKHu
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAl3kKFisy
『雖見著了，卻比見不著難受。我這趟來反而給惠施惹了麻煩……原是我知牽腸掛肚不好，可依然牽掛才如此。』

下朝後，惠施擔任大王的顧問，接待六國使者，與他們商量對策，一直忙碌到很晚纔回了家。纔到家，見到莊周昏睡在外堂，他被諕了一下，向家奴問道：「你們是不是虧待了莊先生？」739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjb7k7YNnb
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq5XqxRBuv
「奴才不敢，是莊先生非要在此等候老爺，老爺太晚沒回來，莊先生累倒了。」739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNjfEqlvbw
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GeFLBmWSW
惠施看著莊周的模樣，想：『莊周不知禮節，在外堂昏睡，這樣的人，興許大王是不會採用的；若只是來投靠我的話也無妨。』739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9BU1PESWT
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHacPtdIw1P
便吩咐道：「往我房裏加一套被子。」739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM5UfHMbRJ
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqJEnARPaN
家奴不解。惠施道：「莊先生與我同房。」得令，這才退下。739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0gZYbO17L

739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiUzkki6OP
這回，他飛過濠梁，鑽過濠梁下的湖心，遠遠飛過魏國的都城，翩飄進相國府的窗櫺裏，裏頭香霧瀰漫，溫暖無比，與外頭的飢寒大相逕庭。739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TnOERr3f9

莊周用手背揉揉眼，但聞惠施的聲音，卻不見他的人。739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltDVM5UFzl

他本想回頭，惠施卻說道：「別回頭，我幫你擦背。」739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2H2Cr08Lz

洗浴間，莊周昏昏沉沉的，連一頭長髮，都是惠施幫他梳洗。只記得惠施撫觸他的感覺極細，他的手觸碰過自己的後頸，背胛，其餘的，病中便再難記。739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH9ruEBPYe
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwn8xtAtHO
一整晚都沒有下人來打擾。就寢時分，惠施幫莊周穿好睡衣後，兩人同榻，相對而寢。739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt11uIr0y0
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hRJqadoUX
夜半時分，莊周竟感覺惠施的身子貼服在他的背後，雙手摟著他的腰。739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny1346ezlD
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjNUknHLTF
莊周說道：「惠子，等病養好，我就離開大梁。」739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6QZDJv4Q4
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CmSufDWYY
「為什麼？」這突來的一番話，令惠施驚醒。739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEdkRmQGzK

惠施沒答話，只無聲地淌淚，有幾滴淚直接淌在莊周的身上，莊周伸手替他揩面。739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoyQszLf9h
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNgpooUfmt
只聞幽幽地一句「對不住」。莊周說道：「對不住的人是我，人各有志，我又何必強求呢？」739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21ihedHJOW
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QR1EFOaHW
「你以前曾問過我，你若離開，會不會想你，會不會留戀？其實我想得很……我來大梁，只是想給你這個答案。魏王的相國，你一人就足夠了，我若繼續留在這兒，你大概也過得不安穩。」739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfqPOqLv0u
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZSOmbpRmU
「若我不在乎呢？」惠施看著莊周的臉，「你千里迢迢來看我，還猜忌你是我的錯……可如果我說，就算大王真的叫你去作他的相國，我也不在乎呢？」739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ087cWsnaUC
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz5986pAt8
「我在乎啊，我又不想和別人作禮行揖，可你還對這地方有所依戀，不是嗎？你想當官，我不想當官，我留在大梁，對我們倆人都很麻煩。」莊周道：「這一回，你若想我的話，就回宋國好嗎？……等你不想做官了再回來，我等你。」739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPAveW0LCK
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eUKgdGMtZ
惠施只輕輕地說了句「好」，便把莊周緊緊地攢進懷裏，而後，一夜無話。739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLqjmebutd

莊周的幾個門徒準備了祭品，偕他一塊兒上墳。739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk8ARz9Nbb
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiQg9AGlmn
門人見到夫子的神情十分黯淡，本想開解他，莊周告訴他們：「我同你們說個故事。」門人們便朝他一拜：「夫子請講。」739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9XzG83of5

莊周淡淡地說道：「在楚國有位郢人，他有很會使大斧頭的匠人朋友，他們兩個會一種表演，郢人先在鼻頭上，抹上一層薄如蠅翼的石灰，再讓他的朋友削去。」739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uD3dwpgdr
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYm4ZR7oAH
「旁人雖看得心驚膽跳，郢人卻面不改色，對匠人十分放心。匠人使斧頭時，不但沒削掉郢人的鼻子，還把石灰完全砍去。宋元君聽說這椿奇事，想請郢人再表演一次，郢人卻回答：『我的匠人朋友已經仙逝，只留下我一人獨活，所以我無法再表演了。』」

郢人斫堊，該典故最早出自莊子《郢人》。
