盂蘭盛會。491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb50HkuqpCR

這是陽間的夜晚時份，本來是瀝青地足球場上在仲夏之前臨時建起了這碩大的建築物。竹支搭建而成的戲棚傳來一種發霉木塊的味道，夾雜著善信燒香的煙薰味。露天戲棚內燈火通明，靠著舞台上的射燈燈光，把台下一排排的座椅染上陣紅陣黃的熱鬧顔色。台上花旦小生正演一幕文戲，在後台旁的樂師像在打瞌睡。491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM1qKo2fTD

時候已經不早了，觀眾席上只剩下得疏疏落落幾隻人影，幾個伯伯腦袋瓜跟著節拍來回搖動，用著走腔的音調也唱一份。小羽不禁懷疑，到底在座的有幾多位根本不是人類。491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iMBQR3o9D
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NNC2Acf2y
帶位的伯伯耳邊插了根皺巴巴的香煙，忙著在角落跟清潔嬸嬸串門子，似乎沒打算帶剛進場的小羽就坐。她還留在一旁未踏進去，把觀眾席來回掃視了一遍，肯定坐在正中那一個人就是目標。491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbKbkK2VCM

一個年約四十多歲的蒼白男人端坐在中間，一身雪白的造型跟這舊戲院極不搭配。他身穿一件銀白色絲質寛袖長袍，腰間插著一把鐵骨紙扇，就算放進古裝街也毫不突兀。他灰髮藍眼、寛掌長臉，高䠷的身栽在狹窄的座椅之間，坐得有點侷促。小羽不禁亂猜，這白爺好可能是個患白化病的白子，更有可能是個半唐蕃混血洋人。491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC6MrSGLMa
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPCvguAl18
小羽二話不說擠到他旁邊，那人連眼尾也沒轉過來，雙眼仍舊盯著舞台。491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK7awoQYDr
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i9ljDASjW
「您好，閣下就是白爺謝必安先生不是？」491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX41kNcGX2G
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4IZuLg6T5
「等一下可以嗎？我最喜歡這一場戲。」491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1X6C7c9Ay
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGrroHiV3H
那男人沒有直接說小羽認錯人，大概可以當是默認吧。其實白爺外表不過是正值盛年的年紀，怎樣說也稱不上一個『爺』字。491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOShullAc5H
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6EfI9YvJv
那男人指頭敲著手靠打拍子，點頭哼著歌詞：「...盼得花燭共諧白髮...誰個願看花燭翻血浪...」491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPH8R7BMKd
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi1zv0KQIm
小羽望著這場悶得發毛的粵曲，老實不客氣的打了個瞌睡。491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzNYSaNYnv
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJdJCMX0Fe
「...朗月引路到仙鄉...」那男人鼻子抽了一下，閉上雙眼繼續哼唱：「...雙雙仙侶共泛銀河浪...」491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhR9aWm0AE
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3P0XKX7jl
小羽知道再怎樣叫也沒用，唯有靜靜等下去。好在戲目已近結尾，還不到五分鐘時間就謝幕。491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6tfTuOvx9
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJaeh7fxDY
那蒼白男人緩緩站起來，慢慢向著出口走去，完全無視了旁邊的小羽。這實在有點太囂張了，小羽壓住怒氣，繞個圈子追上去。491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzaugHRhx3
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCidMID3gcP
「白爺！」小羽趕及在戲棚出口追上去。491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmkbV4SRy1
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCWHleZoQe
蒼白男人停下腳步，眼神空洞，明明在望著小羽的眼睛，卻教人覺得他根本沒有看著自己：「小妹妹，如果我想應妳的，剛才已經應了；不想理妳的，妳認為跑過來我就會理會妳嗎？」491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSRR31Lpmo
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlf2yCjyQV
「白爺，但是是盲毛叫我來的。您不是有個任務委託...」491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG2gKBKOYd
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8x6QlFwqV
「酒場沒有再好的死神了嗎？我沒想過應徵的會是個小女孩。」 491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxI17OQHVs
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0EltPif8F
「女孩就有甚麼問題？」小羽也不甘示弱：「待我有朝一日成了閻王，就有你好看的。」491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GK3a336lB
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQybf4aSfM
白爺眨眨眼，好幾秒鐘沒作半點反應：「妳意思是：妳想當閻羅王？」491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XhA9YfiXz
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFlqDqbi9R
「對啊。」491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9AZYyc5Ks
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHROBO4ilO
「哈哈哈哈...這是我四百年來聽過最有創意的笑話。」白爺沒好氣地答：「那我不阻妳繼續發這春秋大夢了，哈...竟然有個乳臭未乾的小女孩，說她想當上閻王...哈...荒謬...真荒謬...」491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFRq4OdOv1
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ13FVRFjg
「為甚麼不行？」491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHBOmq5ZhJ
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWvZ7EKxHC
「數千百年以來，根本就沒有出過像妳這樣的閻王。」491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd73I4GPR9
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpuH2FIs0D
「我有甚麼問題？」491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2iPtAzm6D
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFVu5asoiL
「妳？妳肯定妳過得了那十八重地獄的關卡？」白爺搖搖頭：「只不過妳只有十幾歲、妳也沒有超凡的智慧、也沒有神祇般的法力。而且，妳是個女的。」491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm3NCoA72u
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9E4zw62Xf
小羽挖一挖鼻孔，她最不喜歡聽到這種『不行啦、不可以啦、沒可能啦』一類的廢話，還有那封建的性別歧視。她隨手把鼻屎乾彈走，再把拍拍白爺膊頭：「那我就做第一個吧。」491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtv7JqWxgf
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj2dfDWtGQ
白爺急忙退後一步，甩開小羽的手。491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCttOwVA6M
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE7agDtPyI
「我想，這千百年來也沒有人敢把鼻屎抺在你身上，對吧？」小羽望著白爺一身近乎潔癖的純白套裝，肯定沒有人夠膽挑釁這一板一眼的老頑固。491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmg3SETc2n
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDftL6m4ap
白爺先是呆了一下，卻不期然笑了出來。他來回踱了幾步：「我倒很欣賞妳這瘋瘋癲癲的性格。」他態度似乎沒剛才那麼冷漠。491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6KmhFVuCw
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2KQdL4pF0
白爺望望空空如也的戲台，靜止不動了好幾秒，微微笑一笑：「委託的事，等我好好考慮一下。」491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFNVJrOHRl
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfekK2lXtD
說罷白爺轉身就走。小羽呆在原地，慢慢覺得有點不對勁。491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF0dvJDAQg
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6808m4vIr
「等等，白爺！」小羽追上去：「明白人說明白事，那甚麼大不了的偵測任務，找我就找我，不然就叫別的死神去做吧。別浪費本小姐青春，本小姐可不能無止境的等你答覆。」491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPdzF4jsox
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UjbWIx3l9
白爺再次望著小羽，雙眼卻不是剛才那種空洞的目光，而是仿佛能穿透別人想法的銳利眼神。他稍稍寬容下來，除除的道：「很好...很好...面對拒絕，妳處理得不錯。」491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4JZRiljI3
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgndx74wRjV
他...在試我？491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoQOiuAhyy
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IeqEBjSY4
戲棚的大光燈調暗，小羽才記起時候已經不早了。白爺突然一臉認真的吩咐小羽：「好吧，給妳一個機會。要是任務出了甚麼差池的話，小心我對妳不客氣。」491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyUtcfWj7l
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQpdW3szNX
「呃...好啊。」491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU7fxQVcsN
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5asuhWSN3s
「明天陽間早上八時正，妳再來這個戲棚找我。」491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtwVWoOFQR
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ju2jMgvj9
小羽正想多問一句的時候，眨眼間發覺白爺已經失去踪影。 491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99wboeXvyJ
