木質的長椅整齊地並排在長型的廳堂，寬敞的座位坐滿了前來禮拜的人群，無論男女老少皆低頭闔上眼睛，將十字架置於掌心虔誠地交握在胸前，在唱詩班的帶領下張口吟唱。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjWXQ8Wa16
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba7GnwEL0g
美麗的巴洛克式彩繪雕窗鑲於純白的牆面，午後的斜陽穿透絢爛的琉璃，折射出的七彩光芒宛如瞬息的煙縷籠罩在耶穌像頭上。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykR4q2LA1c
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z3JmYoLDO
修長的指尖行雲流水地劃過黑白相間的琴面，風琴上沒有任何樂譜，也不需要，這些每周必定詠唱的聖曲，身為琴師的青年即使閉著眼睛也能彈。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn5OKZ9Hq1
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVJiNpo6wn
莊嚴的旋律從鍵盤裡淌瀉，置於踏板上的雙腳不疾不徐地踩踏，穿梭在風道中的鼓風輪流灌入敞開的音管，讓飽滿的音符從對應的琴鍵響起。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08usxZSu3A

歌詞唱誦完畢，剩最後幾小節的尾奏，冰炎按下收尾的和弦雙手離開鍵面，透進來的餘暉正好灑在左前額的紅髮上，像是倒映在河裡的夕陽，火紅鋪上一層金色的流光。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8c4zKxIJU
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zBFOAXvIh
接續在空氣中緩緩溶解的餘音，台前的牧師輕輕開口，「我們在天上的父……」柔和的嗓音低低拂過每對聆聽祝禱的耳畔，溫潤又不失莊重的語調差點讓聽者產生琴聲仍在持續的錯覺。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0FLaEEBKP
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtqQEmmWSh
唱詩班的成員在唱完最後一個句子後也跟著低下頭，雙手交握開始祈禱，唯獨冰炎仍筆直的直視前方，挺直背脊端正的坐在琴椅上。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciwb281BGs
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur7BwehDdO
「因為國度、權柄、榮耀，全是祢的，直到永遠。」彷彿上帝派來人間的天使，安因站在耶穌像前，帶領信徒們朗誦最後一句：「『奉主耶穌基督的名，阿們。』」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSbOTrSXOa
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekKazDxRrw
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15gcd2dwep
一一為上前寒暄的信徒解決疑難雜症，安因忙得不可開交，冰炎逕自收拾好風琴，蓋上琴蓋、鋪上防塵布，在和對方對上視線時點了下頭致意便先行離開。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sry13b3uj

拉開花紋繁複的門把，映入眼簾的是寬敞的田野，杉木被種植在田與田之間，深綠的圍籬巧妙遮蔽了視線，讓人以為這座擁有三角屋頂的建築座落在密林間。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyLCEsPc1v
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlOJSP36C1
事實上農田裡的房舍全藏在杉木後面，甚至再過去一點就是他就讀的大學。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF82j4ukJIp

聚會的人群尚未完全散去，三三兩兩聚集在門外的空地。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA4rovLDJq
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6uCbMvJ77
眼角餘光瞥見斜前方老橡樹下站著的熟悉人影，冰炎朝那個人走去。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsRaj8r1SF
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdm3UVq9LE
「嗨。」率先打了聲招呼，掛著不變的笑容，夏碎一手牽著小亭，小女孩在看到冰炎時旋即掙開手，躲到他身後。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y3TmOH025
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwlJSFJg77
黑色的大眼睛瞪著冰炎，哀怨的目光像是對方搶了她從出生到現在所有的點心一樣。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA3FtasRF3
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocGkX24qXC
「誰叫你以前老愛捏她的臉，你看她現在多怕你。」夏碎摸了摸從他腰側探出來的腦袋，與其說是在哄姪女更像在哄寵物。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH2ZW3qIYr
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oZz5AX7AW
怕他？冰炎挑了下眉不置可否，如果不是心有餘而力不足，恐怕早就咬上來了吧？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6trSLUlWN
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mBVfTphH5
忽略一大一小用互瞪在空氣中迸出來的火花，夏碎向冰炎傳達他方才帶著小亭路過學校宿舍時聽來的消息，「賽塔要我跟你說，今天你隔壁那間空房會有人住進去。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzlnxFoTo6
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAomqaBUdxg
「所以？」這種事跟他說做什麼，都大學生了搬宿舍不需要他特別照顧吧？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsrPbfBCn3
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHfRYwQdKS
「是今年才用轉學考考進你們系上的轉學生，離開學還有一個禮拜不是？好歹是你學弟就稍微照顧人家一下吧。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpJVkWNMJ9
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r5FGivqZo
「……嗤！」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5g25yNu6q
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TVNjhaG1u
從國中就當同學到現在也不是當假的，夏碎知道冰炎不耐歸不耐，還是會按照賽塔的叮嚀時不時去照看一下那位學弟。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ1VFzITiF
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq9hTmLxNp
只不過要他這位向來耐心度頗低的好友去照顧別人……瞥了眼底下的小亭，再看看冰炎，腦中回想起很久很久以前，某次拜託冰炎看顧小亭一個下午的回憶──47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRFBuYX2MB
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiErURCnEa
時至今日他仍想不透，到底要怎麼在那麼短的時間內把房子搞得像被轟炸過一樣？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUO6LLM4Dj
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkLsLavik3
慘烈的記憶讓夏碎偷偷在心底替對方默哀，希望冰炎的新鄰居最好不要是那種專門挑戰他神經線的屁孩才好。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUJSEmfymh
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTJsp3PlUe
「先走了。」冰炎從口袋裡拿出機車鑰匙。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFWnRtNwue
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4X3Ms1HRO
「你不回學校？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm5fu9rxwM
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPlSHNtBq8
「我還有工作。」他揮了下手轉身，走向教堂後方的車棚，無視掉某人聳眉拉眼的鬼臉。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXiuZe7SD8
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbPlYUl0Gv
「嗯，要小心。」看見冰炎揹在身後的刀袋，夏碎就知道他是要去做哪種工作了，也只有這種時候他才會一改輕鬆的語氣鄭重起來。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMfQQmvEEX
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4X91DLPeB
送走冰炎，他再度牽起小亭的手，「我們回家吧？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd9TH1qhB5
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwTXRKEnL3
一反面對冰炎就自動垮下來的臉，小小的臉蛋亮了起來，捏緊握著她的大手撒嬌道：「小亭想吃冰淇淋！」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh4bTKQzB1
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2MtCyyj31
「好。」寵溺的語調混合著低喃的風，他牽著她邁開腳步，一大一小的影子被夕陽拉得斜長，搖搖晃晃地倒映在泥黃色的土地上。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14bvBxayNl

等冰炎回到學校宿舍，天色早就暗了，安靜的弦月鑲入漆黑的布幔，周圍是蟬聲與蟲鳴的大合唱，佇立在石階小徑旁的街燈閃了幾下電力才回穩，飛蛾停在透明的燈罩上。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX6AM30SuI
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrOB5Us98j
他拿出學生證刷了下感應器推門進入大廳，路過大廳時對值夜的舍監微微頷首才搭電梯上樓。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rqzaER48X
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4AA3fwFRF
暑假期間為了省電，過了熄燈時間走廊就只留電梯前的大燈，冰炎走到自己房門前時停了一會，想著要不要過去隔壁『關心』一下，從縫隙透出的燈光顯示對方應該還沒睡。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr0o1bUpJo
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGHKeP5AFY
後來想想算了，就算真有什麼需要也該知道有舍監可以找才對，況且……餘光瞥見領口上的血跡，這種狀態下還是不要去給人加深印象好了。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4T37tfS2B
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyysqJNwhnK
「啊啊啊啊啊啊啊──」手才剛握上自家門把，忽然爆出來的尖叫讓他差點把脆弱的喇叭鎖直接扭斷。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDhFjQN7JY

喀咚、匡！碰！47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVxjpcdw0n

慘叫聲過後是一堆東西鏗鏗鏘鏘掉落的聲音。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGsTe0gr1P
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sRxQenwCX
咔啦咔啦……47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbOll7hEQE
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPQJJglMDe
最後顯然是有什麼整個山崩了，嗯。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7o9cq61OI
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpPK5UE1rY
冰炎無言的盯著隔壁，從門縫底下晃過的影子顯示出主人的混亂，住在這裡進入第三年，他還是第一次聽見這麼精彩的雪崩。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPun7Uf3ms
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZJ5KjSH2S
在沒轍的情況下，他最終放棄當做沒聽到這個選項，當他抬手準備敲門時，門板被從裡面反撞，壓抑過的呻吟傳了出來，想喊叫但意識到是深夜硬悶住嘴巴那種。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKo3bvSKR1
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGzNzCl6TB
房門倏地打開，低著頭往外衝的人壓根沒想到會有人站在門口，冰炎也沒即時反應過來，硬生生用胸口去接撞擊力媲美保齡球的黑色腦袋。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeomENaDc4s
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtTtJ7blMy
「嗚！」悶哼一聲向後跨了一步穩住兩人，他欲張口發難，卻注意到從大門竄出的涼氣溫度低到不尋常。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejBUh0TsAL
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBONOTxOhKt
學校的中央空調什麼時候會這樣低溫大放送了？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXbSU1KdZM
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtXuhJrUwv
瞇著眼睛掃過凌亂的室內，一道黑色的陰影站在窗戶旁。混濁的形體只隱約看得出是人形，五官模糊到無法分辨，冰炎卻能確定它正盯著他們瞧，而那個東西明顯不應該出現在這裡。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZDqmZoKEN
