迴響的隆隆聲如同夢境般遠去。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dHeAA4cTr
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwynq5PyBO
從開出的小縫裡，一道狹窄的光切開了無邊無際的黑暗。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61fiAxwaqB
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ073qhVQ3H1
杜若四肢著地地爬出櫥櫃，然後回過頭托著紫藤的肩膀離開那片狹小的黑暗。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsH2X5rIdP
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB7hHl4RqQ
兩人並著肩在階梯旁仰起頭喘著氣，久違地照進眼裡的燈光刺眼眩目，但再怎麼說也比不見天日的黑暗要來得令人安心。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYO1cLlqxD
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9yDQGFmMZ
連沙華會都靜謐下來，就代表連凌晨也快要結束了吧。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3SVNI2ER7
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGvgpsMN68
就連喘息的時間也如同光明般狹窄，兩人不可能在這再休息到早晨來臨。於是，杜若一感覺到力氣開始回流到四肢時，就起身伸出手牽起虛弱的紫藤。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkRkB1R6hv
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2sS7NkRcR
「走吧。我們一起回去。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUf2yrSDCu
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe9hMKs7qD
這麼說了之後，杜若便鑽進紫藤的脅下，用窄小的肩頭努力撐起紫藤向前。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajgSKWeH2C
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0Cqbl3q8t
一路上，兩人就這樣攙扶著彼此，幸運地毫無阻礙便回到了西區。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqQ7ND54OM
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0pd1qx81w
為了處理傷口，杜若讓紫藤靠到了床板上頭。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULzH7s5nVc
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliB1HYtRKp
「嗚……！」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecblYZ5ira
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95SmoE8b7K
消毒藥水碰到傷口的劇痛，讓紫藤吃痛地叫出悶聲。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkQvUQO7c8
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBQ8s7lirK
「很痛嗎……？」杜若停下動作，擔憂地看向紫藤。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnITxreEEc
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4mB8zazec
回到西區的路上，紫藤甚至虛弱到就連話都沒辦法說了。所以哪怕只是一聲也好，杜若也想要聽見紫藤的聲音。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIdyPu8JbS
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h84OSsqQL
而痛楚彷彿把紫藤的魂給拉了回來，宛如大夢初醒般地看了杜若和手中的棉花棒後，紫藤才喘著氣、略略地頷首。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8BlYHBebv
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tSEjACQwr
「……我還可以忍。」說完，紫藤打直手臂。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkriAPAzsYA
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d8iwcD5i0
杜若點點頭，卻宛如做錯了事一般地垂下眼簾。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIDldd4rgG
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk91aMLEArc
如果不是自己想要聽信墨駒，也不會讓墨駒有機可趁了——但現在後悔也沒有用，照顧受傷的紫藤才是眼下應該做的事。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr882QBbsX
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHhzwQgfsk
「那、再忍耐一下就好。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41cqx1M6sw
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvzjW1vZim
「呼、呼……嗚——！」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd9wh45EDy
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J5HMSHluH
紫藤試著吸氣來緩和疼痛，卻還是沒辦法不吃痛地發出聲音來。清潔並上完藥後，杜若小心地用紗布蓋起那道駭人的傷口並纏上繃帶，原本純白的繃帶立刻就被染成了一片暗紅。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKjvJsiTGA
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQXuFIYPOU
現在只能做這樣的應急處理，等到明天還是得去醫院才行。幸好公用醫療箱裡頭還有這些基本的醫療用品，不然就這樣放著傷口，今晚紫藤恐怕連躺下都會有困難。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46rU0prNV8
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSP42JYT6r
疼痛過了幾次呼吸才終於緩和下來。杜若拿來水杯靠在紫藤的嘴巴上，讓紫藤小口小口地補充水分。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sltUTZQqZ
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMIvXNMiIK
滋潤冰涼地滑過喉間，直到此時、紫藤才終於有種放下心來的感覺。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxaYJfWAXr
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWLirecBrL
「還要喝嗎？」杜若捧著還有一半的水杯，輕柔地問。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXfhoSMvmr
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOedcD307P
杜若關心的神情就好像是流經喉頭的水那樣沁入了紫藤的胸口。於是紫藤點點頭，再次把嘴湊了過去。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0NbZ0GmDY
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeaXTJjdKx
等到杯子空了、正想伸手擦乾嘴角時，杜若就先一步用手帕抹上了紫藤的嘴角。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCKRpn2ZK1
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpKkBVwt8S
「……謝謝。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEOtEMGQPL
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbhTRQzpCP
「不會啦，現在也輪到我照顧紫藤了。」杜若收起手帕，露出了彷彿可以烘乾衣服的溫暖笑容。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9QPz98vpK
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAACcoHtVtw
明明、對方不久前才在自己的面前殺了人，但現在看著杜若的側臉，紫藤卻盡只感到安心跟鬆了一口氣的感覺一湧而上。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG2COUJsS4
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XabNKnjO9
是自己終於開始習慣了嗎？那時，紫藤的手上就已經流滿鮮血，卻只有砸在墨駒臉上時所沾上的溼黏感格外鮮明。就好像在入睡前的一場夢境，令紫藤感到有些恍惚。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJdO8jUvuo
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvLihEtggN
不過，這無疑都是事實。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX2lOE97Hd
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJcHPAoXA6
掌心中，那枚墨駒沒能拿回去的、鑲著淡紫色寶石的銀戒就是最好的證據。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3qBKqNCrb
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2utHB9NlE
紫藤壓根也沒想到有能夠尋回這枚戒指的一天。對紫藤來說、只受這點傷就找回了它簡直是太划算了。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfps8HfXyf3
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ0xoRfqFG
「紫藤、這個戒指到底是……？」杜若好奇地看著手中的戒指，疑惑地歪過頭。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL67dXUkvz
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7RPZHSGR1
沉默了半晌，紫藤才慢慢地開口。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsblaq38PE
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw38SLvOAF
「是我媽媽的遺物。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpb7OgYZ7c
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy5oO8Ferc
戒指的內緣刻著一行寫著母親名字的小字，證明了這就是那枚獨一無二的戒指。雖然紫藤對父親沒有任何印象，但母親卻經常以懷念的面容提起關於父親的事情。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPT7fmjMOM
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSPcqCFFNy
「咦……？那為什麼會在墨駒的手裡呀？」杜若不假思索地問道。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV8tphw6ng
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLhHq6W2BF
「我也不知道。」紫藤搖搖頭，黯然地闔上雙眼。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO2Q9w4k96
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCxhBlMDOb
紫藤從來不曾對同輩的人說過這些事，但現在、紫藤卻覺得讓杜若知道也無妨。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJHylPvLM1
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ384mVUOlhR
「可是媽媽他、就是被沙華會的人給殺死的。」就好像在試圖壓下傷口的灼熱似地，紫藤輕撫著前臂的紗布，緩緩地繼續說道：339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCukQbmMrFQ
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87qlLxOHcm
「小時候，我的媽媽曾經向沙華會借過錢。但最後，媽媽卻因為還不出錢來……而被沙華會給殺了。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfLgA6PmRx
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr8nnApfkG
媽媽並不是沒辦法還出錢來，只是在最後一刻、錢竟然被劫走了。紫藤怎麼想都覺得奇怪、為什麼就這麼剛好在那種時候？如今，紫藤認為那一切全都是沙華會的伎倆，他們根本沒有想讓母親還清債務的意思，只想在那一年裡壓榨完母親所有的心力、等到沒價值了就宰殺掉而已。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDYsQYm4RV
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyYdskiGm9
「這就是那時候、他們從媽媽的身上搶走的東西之一。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxh7cV5quJ
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrWeMcLOzG
紫藤至今——至死都不會忘記母親在自己的眼前被殺掉的畫面。年幼的自己只能無力地躲在一旁，看著母親殘忍地被一刀刀殘殺至死。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOeX9baJWG
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfLkajgkvW
從那時起，濺在臉上的那朵紅花就已經在紫藤的心頭生根。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDOKpSKcC4
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNrK9YNC63
只是，紫藤也從未想過竟然會在途中找到母親生前的遺物，紫藤覺得自己簡直幸運的無以復加。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFozBsWZRMt
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTjlzBZZ55
「原來……這是對紫藤來說這麼重要的東西啊。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IM7XaJYld
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1xpqGQCXa
「嗯。」紫藤在胸前連同戒指握緊了拳頭。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56lxoTfDVi
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmugf7TUa4
對紫藤來說，媽媽所留下的東西沒有一個不是珍貴的。無論是這個房間、髮飾、還是這枚戒指，都是媽媽曾經存在過的證明。哪怕再也微不足道，紫藤也想要盡可能地將它們攬在手中。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7JmRnrKq9
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrbTPOdcAQ
自己已經不想要再失去任何東西了。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5kVCHIZd2
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUoHNmq1LA
「紫藤的媽媽是個什麼樣的人、可以跟我說說嗎？」杜若露出了既好奇又害怕冒犯的眼神、試探地探出腦袋。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkcc1EFx3J
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSojOV7Q2rg
紫藤思考地垂下了眼簾幾秒。而再次睜開眼時，紫藤已經將目光放到了不知遙遠的何處。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvMaOKrFwN
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVzjSWvbKA
「媽媽他——」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO7M7GlvBF
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf42NjpSns
以這句話做為開場白後，紫藤便將那些早已被自己翻到泛黃的回憶給拿了出來。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u09FBgIwg
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshlXs5oWPY
小時候，紫藤最常從街上的大叔大嬸嘴聽到的一句話就是「跟媽媽很像」。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBEDljamTH
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEcDvyUfov
同樣有著一頭的黑色長髮、話也同樣不怎麼多。而唯一不同的，就是媽媽是個非常堅強的女性，總是用那粗糙而修長的手把紫藤給攬在身後。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z1KPbsElq
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5awver5L3
而媽媽在南區有間小小的、買賣布料的店面，小時候的紫藤最喜歡的就是跟在媽媽後頭一起做生意。儘管有時候會因為笨手笨腳而挨其他大叔大嬸的罵，但那卻是紫藤最為快樂的一段時光。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbYLtwoM9h
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06JWjewHqV
只是在紫藤逐漸長大後，媽媽卻漸漸不希望紫藤跟著自己，而想要把紫藤託付給學校。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CtJCG9m6L
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoZH63gDl8
但紫藤一點都不喜歡學校。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKY1SkiXKI
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV5W9kNU2p
比起那些吵吵鬧鬧又喜歡惡作劇的小孩子，紫藤更喜歡跟在可靠卻寡言的媽媽後頭，幫忙結帳、整理或是裁剪布料。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkMgl7Ouui
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PE782KEPe
對當時的紫藤而言，媽媽這麼做就好像是想要把自己給拋棄一樣。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvemqbzAPs
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LEPX3Hp1b
於是紫藤頭一次跟媽媽吵架了。那是一場紫藤單方面地對著媽媽出氣的架，從頭到尾媽媽都只是靜靜地傾聽著紫藤的任性，偶爾像在思考著什麼地低下頭來。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi69zF5Bq6
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81WBN7fP6c
而在那之後，媽媽就再也沒有要紫藤去上學了。只是摸摸紫藤的頭以後，就像以前一樣，讓磕磕絆絆的紫藤跟在自己的後頭做生意。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGRszlFe7G
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKVvZqJN88
嗯，這樣就夠了。那時的紫藤只有這麼單純的滿足。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IxW1jBJv1
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGvAiitdPO
然而這樣的日子持續不久。在一個秋天的傍晚、鉛炭鎮發生了一起極其嚴重的意外。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvm4iJ1r82
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T8E6GIeIq
那是一起倒塌事件。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgPn563Wcn
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hOSoG3iAy
由於鉛炭鎮的樓房蓋的十分緊密，因此只要一棟樓倒塌，便極容易引發連鎖效應。那起倒塌事件就現在的記載，足足有將近二十棟的樓房倒塌、傷亡數更是難以記載。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aHrpx2zn6
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgum31cIiy
雖然沒有受到倒塌事件的直接傷害，但媽媽的店面卻因此全毀，讓兩人頓時失去了幾乎所有的財產。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRB5IZaWJl
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjKc6vNegT
那之後就如紫藤所說，媽媽為了生存而選擇向沙華會借貸。在那一年裡，媽媽幾乎從未闔眼休息、只為了賺回損失的財產。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfNYOg5ElF
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETeMPP10FF
那時的媽媽早已面容枯槁。而殘忍地將其心力、金錢、生命盡數奪走的惡意，正是沙華會。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2Q22mKoka
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiFfcQhw6o
「……我會找到給墨駒這個戒指的人。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cOZBAb7o5
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9qHi1OvLO
收起回憶，紫藤再次握緊了戒指。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmlp3dxU3k
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefYzBynxHE
「然後，殺了他。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz0E1Hd42O
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5BUqShEN3
紫藤的眼神猶如熾火，沒有一分一毫的搖曳。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0MZVpB7Df
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwqpbFoQJP
但只不過幾秒，便很快地萎靡了下來。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvo4qQuTws
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFOGWvcE7O
「可是、我卻下不了手。」紫藤無力地鬆開了手：「不管怎麼樣……我都沒辦法像杜若妳那樣。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6y6mUbA5e
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSEDeTiCy8
明知道沙華會是惡，紫藤卻無法真的對那群敗類下殺手。也許正是因為那時媽媽遭到殺害的畫面烙印得太過深刻，紫藤才會下意識地抑制著、不讓那副景象再次出現吧。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I1vQn64is
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd1xD66v60
而自己的這份軟弱，既沒有人可以幫助紫藤克服，也不會有人能夠理解——除了杜若。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t4iTG1Bnh
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HG6VxZyRI
「原來、這就是紫藤想要跟我一起行動的原因呀。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmlPSgUFui
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB3IbRrHGF
「……嗯。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVPEtu91YB
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4zP2QcXCb
那時見到的杜若是如此純粹，就好像一把剛從水中淬出的刀刃般，不帶著任何一絲污穢。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeuMjelOTf
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nKyYN9CfS
紫藤深信，這就是自己向那些骯髒禽獸復仇的楔子。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEkQNtioM4
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMbfv4Klbd
這就是足以斬斷自己心頭那朵紅花的白刃。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt6jwxhUNJ
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdG4q7LcBU
「……杜若妳呢？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2utqhJsib
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gp5AUzCuq
紫藤拾起快要滿溢的情感，回望了杜若那如新月般的雙眸。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV3ONXS8Oq
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFFdRQ4xWZ
「又是為什麼……會開始當殺手？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFSwcjDTvM
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ6MTJjy73
剛才、杜若確實說過想要請鎮裡最好的醫生，但杜若看起來並不像是患有什麼嚴重疾病或是殘缺的樣子。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3lVM7oY0y
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssxCyznQKi
聽見紫藤的疑問，杜若就好像是在思考、也像是在害怕似地垂下了眼簾。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITLd08MkcW
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF51Ub9wjIv
「紫藤……不會生氣吧？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLaIUp04wG
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9nMIZoBcS
杜若果然還在意著那時自己的衝動。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYsokXUAVi
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOldkDlZFT
但如果是要請醫生，怎麼樣也不會是做不好的事吧？紫藤這麼想著，舉起沒受傷的手摸了摸杜若的頭頂。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0ytgyiM3W
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolI4veCjJe
「不會。」紫藤堅定地說：「我保證。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC4GkdXHwL
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIxvy4NCDA
等到紫藤緩緩收起手後，杜若才按著胸口，下定決心地開口。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7XSvSa9xj
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYaBrLrwui
「……我想要救陶壺叔。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNCtYd0E9C
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuqBY3pb02
杜若喃喃吐出的回答令紫藤感到十分意外。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCekyx0uFij
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxqpLTZUrU
之前見到陶壺叔確實是在北大街，但陶壺叔本人看上去並沒有多大的病痛呀？339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G0HgPVMvp
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglNqMdB2dE
就好像發現了紫藤的疑惑，杜若幽幽地繼續說道：339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrsGOS6413
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsPhK2emBw
「陶壺叔生的是一種會讓身體漸漸沒辦法動的病。醫生說，雖然現在只有手指，但很快就會變成手、腳、身體……最後是心臟。只要過不了四年，陶壺叔就會被那種病給殺死了。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzjQyKO6gb
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIetZZ3Ycu
全身慢慢就會不能動的病？339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2x3xGFK0Y
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQF20j8IgH
這種病紫藤是頭一次聽見。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmgqCPmfyU
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsRheHQTxL
「我也偷偷問了很多醫生，但他們都說那是一種沒辦法治好的病。明明是這樣，但陶壺叔從來都沒跟我說過、還一直都笑著裝作沒事。直到我不小心聽到其他醫生跟白鵑提到陶壺叔，我才知道陶壺叔一直都瞞著我。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSkqywACaA
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBHCzhw0Wb
「現在陶壺叔已經沒辦法走很長的路、也不太能拿重的東西了。」杜若的口氣變得哀傷起來，卻也有一份同等重量的不甘心。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72aboBjy4Z
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G92bntoOZ
「我明明也想要幫忙陶壺叔的，可是、我卻不知道自己到底該怎麼做才好——因為就連醫生都沒辦法了嘛。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya3iw6eJCK
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXlaSiuFvx
杜若的笑只看得見無力。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmOfJ5SZVv
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiLZaVOB5s
「直到有天，狐狸告訴我說她有辦法，但前提就是要幫忙她去殺掉那些人。所以，狐狸才發給了我這把槍、還有手機。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVRausQU0W
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumB8cH1e94
到這裡，杜若便沒有繼續說下去了。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufR9y4QOWe
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgsPFu2H5C
並不是因為仇恨，也不是因為利益，而只是單單地想要為某人而付出。杜若的理由就跟個性一樣是如此單純、甚至令紫藤的胸口刺痛。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD5iv4CdQK
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz1RMP0TtV
然而，紫藤卻忍不住想要質疑的念頭。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeqywRI8q8
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1vq6oC5km
「那個狐狸、真的就這麼值得相信嗎？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO1ZHV8bGu
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22dN6f0BBg
如果就連鎮裡最優秀的人都沒辦法了，狐狸又怎麼可能醫好陶壺叔的病？再者，就算殺死的是沙華會的人，讓還只是女孩的杜若去持槍犯險本身就很荒謬。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxjK0y8Ko0
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbHpx1AJt2
「……狐狸一直都對我很好呀。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cvnIXuMuH
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVWXy0sflx
杜若笑了。卻讓人分不清那是真的笑容、還是在故作堅強，讓紫藤的鼻子裡無聲地滑過一陣酸楚。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXiBvQuN6w
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgDEK8fAeP
「所以，我還是相信狐狸。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbl5s5lvlN
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OBfJIU3i9
杜若就好像在對自己喊話似地緊緊握起拳頭，但小小的手中、有的卻只有虛無。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pf6ZCB1ab
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwiQhUKqz0
也許這麼說太過自以為是，但紫藤從這道笑容裡看到的並不是想要相信、而是不得不相信。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKJEkHYdzW
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBlDLqj1BF
只因為狐狸的許諾是杜若的最後一絲曙光。所以杜若除了抓住它以外也別無他法——僅僅就只是如此而已。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SOj9qFcJZ
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCxYzT1aPt
哪怕、就算那道光芒是朝自己射出的子彈也一樣。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xROiwzrJw
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLyIKlRQ0O
紫藤也曾望著母親的背影被偽裝成曙光的惡火給吞噬殆盡。但只因為如此，就可以不負責任地說聲「放棄吧」把一切希望給澆熄嗎？339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPhUmOYBco
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2KcKXy76Z
這怎麼可能。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofQal3Qz8I
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTnzM66gAm
沒有人知曉光芒的後頭是陽光亦或是惡火，但倘若停止腳步、也只會在黑暗消逝。無論是誰，追逐光芒都是與生俱來的本能。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1UMjXWKzC
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZiP7AGu6x
看著杜若緊握的手，紫藤便不捨地伸出手、略顯生硬地鑽進了那冰涼而纖弱的掌心。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2VJOgAnRY
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvG4NIFYYN
也許，杜若一直都是握著這樣飄渺晃蕩的希望走來，但起碼現在、紫藤能夠確實地握住杜若。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMvWURD0iu
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYedhliffYq
如果杜若前進的方向是惡火，那紫藤就要在最近的地方拉住杜若。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xtjQpssWY
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fo6kYOl7P
察覺到掌心的柔軟，杜若看著紫藤靦腆地一笑。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0qVCGcaWU
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKojMTDarzT
轉動手腕、解開五指，那份只屬於兩人相握時的溫熱便從掌心蔓延到了指縫339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1SoiU9tCT
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh013DqOgJ
「但就算這樣，我也還是想自己去試試看。」經過短暫的沉澱，杜若再次充滿生氣地抬起頭來。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNRbnM6qXz
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnu0kIt4MR
「我想只要有夠多的錢的話，也許就可以把大家一起找來、找出能夠馬上醫好陶壺叔的辦法了！」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJE9i2OXKB
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XArXXRBak
剛才籠罩著的陰鬱被一掃而空，杜若看著紫藤，露出了開朗的笑容。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnphT47SQu
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXBJU0CEdX
「不過，果然還是不能夠靠沙華會的人呢。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg68DHYxWj
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LachAK8d9
經過剛才被反擊的經驗，讓兩人都對這點有了更多的共識。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE8bvtfeCR
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEWhF0XdMW
說了句「話說回來」後，杜若就一轉話鋒、向紫藤問道：339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5J6OggKRd
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47d7JcbHQD
「紫藤想要殺掉的人又是誰呀？紫藤還記得嗎？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHPx7v3QDR
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV6Wc7bq8Y
這問題讓紫藤才想起自己從沒有跟杜若——不、甚至是從沒有跟任何人說過這件事。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmaMlyd702
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCME5x9CkP
「是一個……在脖子後面紋著白色線條的沙華會紋身的人。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStZUAop5NH
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeYzIHBODC
從腦海深處的角落翻出這片景象。那人在殺害媽媽時，紫藤只有一瞬間記下了那個至今都從未看見第二次的特殊紋身。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF9XB5EIfu
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx9Mz1ubn7
「沙華會的紋章幾乎都是鮮紅色的、有白色條紋的紋身……我就只見過那麼一次。但不管我怎麼找、那個人卻就好像消失了一樣，再也沒有出現過。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuVLp5hg8t
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdOn5OerLW
而唯一有可能知道的墨駒已經被殺了，但紫藤並不感到後悔。比起狡獪的他們，紫藤更寧願靠自己的手去搜索。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibCFFXxfHM
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRFggaisSm
「這樣的話，我也來幫忙吧！」杜若自告奮勇地舉高手：339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOOgITPAlH
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUA41Dp0ar
「兩個人一起找絕對比較快的！」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrTslA4oIw
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC0HvScQDT
杜若的模樣、讓紫藤晚了一步才發現自己說錯了話。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlggvZ5FPEG
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x8Cnyh8Fw
紫藤默默地低下頭、沉聲回答。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4Nik8cLfF
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HxEh6N6bk
「……不用那樣。我……我自己就夠了。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfwJOl7bsh
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhjLN6oobu
這冷淡的回答讓杜若頓時像被潑了水的貓咪似地一愣。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUb9v0be4g
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1iVg0EMFO
「可是、紫藤不是說到現在都……」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw1THJ9WQN
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a8ShTmaGQ
「這本來就是我自己的事。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRLa7azSuu
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTiDdijsDz
就算杜若能夠輕鬆地下殺手，但自己的復仇跟杜若是兩回事。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoCPgVGjf6
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C6btdJxNO
紫藤很清楚自己的眼前只有惡火。而單單只是殺手的任務就已經足夠危險，杜若根本沒有必要為此承擔這些危險。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83W4sukbUw
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsITl5EXCL0
「那要是紫藤遇到危險怎麼辦！」倏地，杜若站起身、提高音量339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WJrKYPNAP
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpRm7ZBxap
「我就是為了保護自己，才會去學習要怎麼搏鬥。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIBpZ4fJJf
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEgjJ9spnh
紫藤明白杜若的擔憂。但紫藤正是為了不讓自己在完成復仇前先被吞沒，才用盡了心力去磨練自己。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniYlFjP1vu
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OocXn84b1
「可是、假如對方有槍、假如遇到像今天一樣的事……」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVIH2ccVtQ
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxUE6PbZzn
「我是不會讓自己被殺死的。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgkQyD4Tut
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTINMkAqJm5
「紫藤明明就傷成這樣、還說這種話……！」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKntno8RWg
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NytyDAZnS
看見紫藤一副無所謂的模樣，杜若更是焦急到話都說不清楚了。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIm41XAfIv
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxp2mLZIUs
紫藤沒能給出杜若期待的回應。卻還是於心不忍地輕握住了杜若的手。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8coQRl6ZDz
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH8Hrm8inc
杜若雖然想甩開，但卻在一半就失去了力氣。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfoqj91AW3
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FmfQhv9IK
「明明、明明紫藤也硬是摻進了我的事情，現在卻又說這種話、這樣真的太不公平了……」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0eSq4jNU9
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAO17NLL61
杜若像個鬧彆扭的孩子一樣發起脾氣，但鬧彆扭的人卻總是最認真的。也因此，紫藤才無從反駁。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmGznosKh8
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9VFwEslim
是啊，明明就是自己先不講理地要杜若帶著自己的，這樣又有什麼資格拒絕杜若呢？339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaJI4AOmxB
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFPL8ubuYA
但就算不公平也好，紫藤之所以握著杜若的手，絕非是要杜若陪著自己跳進火海。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs83chwgeFh
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lhDb7wbY2
最後，紫藤還是用了奸詐的說法。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavsJZ6iChx
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GarqTw4z8
「我跟陶壺叔約定過，說不會讓妳受傷了。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmPkUn1nGP
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sg6NJs8RM
「那難道紫藤要我看著妳受傷嗎？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAEFGjOHvh
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPWb26peh9
雖然夾雜著鼻音、但這句話卻如此強而有力。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO1CjASNwb
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLD55FFZLd
在八年前的那個夜晚、紫藤也是那樣地看著母親被一刀刀殘殺致死——明明注視著、卻什麼也做不了的無力是多麼令人痛苦，紫藤比任何人都還要明白。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpQZ8BOjaJ
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslgfv5GwCk
杜若也正是因為這樣的痛苦，才選擇了這條看似荒謬的道路。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8ph9kqcMv
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3xI9nt7px
而紫藤打算再在杜若的身上再添一層相同的痛苦嗎？339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQbjeFxk1p
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TrqCZMXvQ
紫藤無法回答，只是沉默地別開了視線。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NTguRjoBJ
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4dDN8gWbd
看見杜若受傷，自己會感到痛苦。而看見自己受傷，杜若會感到痛苦。然而若是因此什麼也不做，又有誰能夠替枉死的母親報仇雪恨？339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7U8tSas8M
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ89mJpGCP
哪條路都是崎嶇，哪條路也都是痛苦。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRTeNEYDNp
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffypNc4ODR
如今，在這條路上有個願意走到身旁攜手並進的人，又為何不欣然接受就好？339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemtoBvnyhS
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWptr4malEu
只因為就連接受也是痛苦吧。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5ZGfwyOs1
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EzZ5Rrni0
但、當初不就是因為明白自己沒辦法獨自走完腳下的路，所以才會自顧自地跟在杜若後頭不是嗎？339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXhM9Arot2
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T5SRZV106
如果說想要把什麼東西給握在手裡、就免不了被刺出鮮血。那麼起碼受傷的方式可以交由彼此來抉擇。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt9HwTtSuZ
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD7I8NUUia
思及至此，紫藤才慢慢地放鬆了手中的力道。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOUHLS3WRi
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRbY3AjYwt
「答應我、要先保護好妳自己。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCwHYrNC1m
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMJghICSO4
紫藤不帶一絲玩笑地注視著杜若的雙眼，而看見紫藤的神情，杜若才終於破涕為笑。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWcsxdIG6b
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ou3ucEnr2
「可是，紫藤會保護我的吧？這樣我的份不就用不到了？」杜若歪著頭反問。然後扣緊了紫藤安放在腿上的手。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxQ5GdKBs2
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtdfQCheeL
「所以，我的份就用來保護紫藤吧！」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AnoRoxoQA
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hM83w1oGA
紫藤雖沒有點頭，卻還是回望著對方微微笑，回握住指縫間的柔軟。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL5yqDLzRP
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fhavBh150
「喔喔！紫藤笑了耶！」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjtBRBhLiD
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVYeLme7HN
頭一次看見紫藤的笑容，讓杜若欣喜地舉高手，卻不小心拉起了紫藤負傷的前臂而使紫藤臉色一緊。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuBM21Weo7
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxEVNGRsBJ
「哇啊啊——！對不起！」杜若立刻慌張地放下手來。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQNdTJfGBy
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPxYp6oRPk
疼痛雖然還沒散去，但紫藤還是發自內心地笑了。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCvsJWw7tr
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftELCts2Fn
「……對了！」這時，杜若突然靈機一動地眼神一亮：「不知道可不可以請狐狸幫紫藤找找看呢？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHZjh7jJZ8
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYj1wfg7aK
「咦？」這提議讓紫藤也感到意外地眨了眨眼。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe3brr3DNi
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPKv8Hl7Zd
「雖然是我自己猜的……不過狐狸應該很擅長找人吧。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5OacDlNxn
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9d9QvBBVJ
應該說如果那個狐狸不擅長，就不可能精確地知道目標的出沒地點與時間吧。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEL7O0M2Ea
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv32y0cGeXW
紫藤確實沒想到這個方法——不，更應該說是刻意忽略掉了才是。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg7ZXEH0n0
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EYhtdZ7bg
紫藤還是沒辦法相信一個就連臉都沒見過、還讓杜若做這麼危險的事情的人。把這樣重要的任務託付給對方真的妥當嗎？光是想的就有種不踏實感。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyo0UFudFI
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaBCPheUNn
不過，如果那個狐狸願意幫忙，也許真的會是一大助力。比起自己的脾氣，不是更應該去想要怎樣才能早一步替母親報仇雪恨才對嗎？339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWt0TY500U
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH2muKokeJ
自己尋覓這麼多年來都毫無所獲，而現在就有一個或許能夠跨出一大步的機會，又怎麼能夠放棄？339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURI4rC3THE
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dc5j8qFeg
「那……可以幫我跟狐狸說說看嗎？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z6LkTjbW0
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAh2rKuj33
「當然呀，這是我提議的嘛～」杜若自信地抱起手臂、挺起胸膛。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17u22RgJHL
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFQhbOwOaB
就在這時，紫藤注意到了杜若的手肘與膝蓋上也有著斑斑的擦傷。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiE53npAbV
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QCvBxrd0Y
是被墨駒踢倒的時候撞上的吧。雖然不比紫藤嚴重，但印在杜若柔嫩的肌膚上、還是格外叫人心疼。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2khXTBDSv
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMB894KYOr
「妳的傷……換我幫妳吧。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUoQCfgKSd
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSZ9BKMW7W
被紫藤一說，杜若才發覺似地看了看自己的傷，露出一派輕鬆的笑容。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSv7pUu4HM
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T8N4UI79n
「我這點傷才沒事啦～」說完，杜若從醫療箱裡頭翻出了幾條止血貼布遞給紫藤。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcAiL5Pqnw
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1iMsc9DoN
「貼這個應該就可以了。紫藤就幫我一下吧。」說完，杜若也爬到床上坐到了一旁。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G6WNn5M0U
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWhdh3dmD9
「撕得開來嗎？」杜若看著紫藤有些僵硬的動作，有所顧慮地問。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuJn8Nmm2x
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieDIlw0ruF
「動作不需要太大，沒問題的。」慢慢地撕開膠帶後，紫藤往杜若受傷的手肘上貼去、神情專注。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncXk6CSwCp
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRfzQwugxr
「……好了。換膝蓋吧。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDhY2CzLB5
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqPGR2Lh6A
輕輕撫平皺起的部分，紫藤這才發現杜若一動也不動地盯著自己。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOcbxTK4W0
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQESp5ysKg4
「我臉上有什麼嗎？」紫藤不解地偏過頭。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpdnagfr8B
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m8BO7NW3z
「唔嗯、沒有呀。」盯得出神的杜若這才回過神來地搖搖頭，靦腆地說道：339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuih6k2UPt
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76SwSwzfHZ
「只是覺得紫藤認真的模樣……果然好帥喔。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwjPIBbvkR
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9ogU4nJQH
突如其來的稱讚，令紫藤頓時耳根一熱。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypBjWuBNaI
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmZobiSunO
在道場偶爾也會有人這麼稱讚紫藤——儘管紫藤從不這麼覺得——但明明是同樣的誇獎，為什麼從杜若的嘴巴裡說出來感覺就是不一樣呢？339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvc5D286d9
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23GrkEl5vO
「我、我……」不知道該怎麼回應的紫藤搓著發熱的耳朵，無所適從地左右張望，最後才低下頭、用著連自己都快聽不到的聲音悄聲地說了句：339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrtC8Buf8O
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9Xdgoneja
「謝謝……」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIGbVoflgD
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnScxvSOIXO
「嗯？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdaVxfNmBj
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc0ax0SKWA
「沒、沒有……！」紫藤彷彿像要掩飾過去拉高音量，匆忙地接著說道：「比起那些、還有膝蓋的傷……！」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP4pRL7jDh
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegFjV6Sx22
杜若雖然有些不明白，卻也覺得今天表情豐富的紫藤很有趣，就沒有多問、聽話地打直了雙腳。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoFMQz6h5u
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmYjtL2Mhp
杜若的膝蓋上仍沾著一些汙血，那道傷口印在上頭就好像是件純白禮服上的爛泥一樣顯眼——但就算沾上了爛泥，氣質本身也不會輕易改變。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR2lv475Jh
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSAoygRn6N
雖然怎樣也稱不上是修長，但杜若的腿卻讓紫藤不禁想到了幼貓那短巧可愛的前腳，讓人忍不住想要伸手捏個一把。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAaBBd7Jyo
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD7Q2A4956
不對不對、現在可不是做那種事的時候。不要再想些不正經的事了。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDhArMKwhw
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8sVFDx9Sm
「稍微……稍微彎起來一點。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjI8sLhNdF
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWQoF0G9Hh
「這樣？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KebLSaRH7
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHk42BuisT
為了不讓自己再胡思亂想，紫藤支吾地說。一會才終於定下心來把貼布貼上了膝蓋的傷口。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0PTtcI0IM
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAY0jJIvkN
「……嗯！這樣就可以了吧！」杜若點點頭，滿意地打量著自己手上腳上的貼布。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRDpCUQgfm
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PCmtR36v4
於是紫藤收起醫療用品，起身將箱子放回原位。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx0kg92WYc
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2zczzacdK
「對了，剛才紫藤提到的事件……」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTL1tS9Qe9
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneFJhLmTw1
就在要踏出房門的時候，杜若忽然想到了什麼似地開了口。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnnwTCDqLy
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXIZEnu2sK
「事件、是倒塌事件嗎？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDusWFW8LE
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciasP2naza
「唔、嗯……」杜若好像沒聽清楚似地，只把頭點到了一半，便默默地垂下眼簾。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUb9dN47bm
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedfbPRvqfj
「怎麼了嗎？」看見杜若的模樣，令紫藤擔心地走了回去。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorbEgnMaAd
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFbfUYWbdF
但杜若沒有做出回應，只是像在思考般地沉默了一會後，才撓撓頭髮抬起了頭來。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8No0tN4sIg
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6apa6wTYJ8
「沒有……沒事的喔！」杜若再次露出一如往常的笑容：「再不睡覺的話明天又要遲到了！還是趕快把東西放回去，然後好好洗澡睡覺吧！」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KkU9RipoM
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8sx5U6eJQ
紫藤雖然感到疑惑，卻還是沒有多問地走出了房間。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq8uCVW46I
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNN6f9vSQR
回來後、在淋浴間前，兩人看著彼此身上的一塊塊包紮，忽然察覺到了什麼而尷尬地笑了。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsJzfV5c5j
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEW4rMDTVn
「我們……好像弄錯順序了耶。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzdkz4OsIU
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F7jtbhtWp
「……只能用擦的了吧。」紫藤望向手上一大片的暗紅紗布，洩出了一聲嘆息。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN92D3pFk9
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbz6wrOHwe
雖然天氣還很炎熱，用擦澡倒也不會著涼，但紫藤現在只有一隻手，想要擦去全身的溼黏感實在是難如登天。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfgDf0eBek
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWclp92FcB
杜若也察覺到紫藤有苦難言的模樣，於是悄悄地湊到了紫藤的一旁。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorMb4r6DPS
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkoZorNkzL
「紫藤需要我幫忙嗎？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5jiM5cRC9
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeYpBn2xFq
起先紫藤還沒聽懂杜若的意思，但看著杜若站到了自己和淋浴間之間，紫藤才瞬間紅了臉頰。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fvcNliw23
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmpYNL48Nv
「我、我自己來就可以了……」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlc9ZowByJ
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKz9XA7H4Q
在外頭、紫藤光是露出手臂以外的皮膚都會感到有些憋扭了，更何況是和人坦誠相待，即使是杜若——不、正因為是杜若，紫藤才更在意這點。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGr0dyqcz4
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAUhutFnus
終於，在簡單擦去一身的灰塵與汗濕後，兩人才可以好好地關上燈休息。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTba1VK4TW
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SOzvuLelp
房間沉入一片黑暗。而在這片熟悉的黑暗當中，卻多了道不同的吐息。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgik9XFV2Zf
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNgNtliHKA
明明昨天還沒有這麼明顯地感覺到杜若的存在，現在紫藤卻能夠清楚地感覺到對方的呼吸拂過臉頰。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVt7XZKCm7

因為說好了，所以剛才也讓杜若用了跟自己一樣的沐浴乳。和草草擦乾污痕的紫藤不同，剛沖過澡的杜若身上香得不可思議。那宛如水果混合了奶油的甜香挾帶著專屬於杜若的微暖體溫，光聞著就令紫藤的胸口發癢。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74itDdZJWO
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb8BvoQL4w
明明是一樣的東西，為什麼用在杜若的身上味道就是完全不同呢？339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33UJbQWiKz

「……紫藤。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpvTM5krfk
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7BqGD2Lwl
「怎麼了？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKbVVKi0fX
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPnUefMztJ
就在紫藤兀自思考時，杜若用著像是隨時會消失在黑暗中的細小聲音、輕聲地喚了紫藤。而在紫藤回問後，杜若沒有馬上回答，只是輕揪住紫藤的衣領，向前挪動身子。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfprJiIjP3
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5rxoBsylk
「紫藤說、會一直在我身邊……我可以相信紫藤吧？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPqxXbtso1
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OnuwUItxt
那是躲在櫃子裡頭時紫藤為了安撫恐慌的杜若，而下意識脫口而出的承諾。也許是四周的黑暗、讓杜若又想起了那時的感覺吧。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5nAFGzcpl
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwTrx8ecbP
紫藤伸出手輕蓋在了杜若的後腦，卻沒有辦法就這麼點頭。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNan5rrltx
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75OnrB5gpJ
就連明天，紫藤都不知道自己是不是還能夠像現在躺在這張床上了。那又何況是更遙遠的以後呢？339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOAKEg3jhb
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2TYcAFbbC
這世上難以實現的事情多如繁星，即使是伸手能夠觸及的光芒，也不乏混濁的惡火，而自己選擇的前路更是如此。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVqxTksG4O
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzx9l1w7gF
既然難以實現，那就不該給予承諾。面對再也單純不過的杜若，這樣的輕浮是種殘酷。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVUiOJ2H6F
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfhiUKUgas
可是要是因此就什麼也不能夠承諾、什麼也不能夠相信，不也是另一種殘酷嗎？339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo4XJj4Mc3
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrzRLtUa4P
確實，紫藤不能夠保證前路的光明不是槍口的閃焰，也不能夠成為驅趕黑暗的陽光。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TqXD7eXME
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQuKNZT7Oo
不過紫藤現在就在這裡。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7UaaR3zlj
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI49wBhBfGr
無論腳下的是光明還是黑暗，只要紫藤還能夠伸出手，就不會讓杜若握起的手中僅有一撮虛幻。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUYpmCsMct
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKKdPx776N
於是、紫藤探出指頭，用指腹輕貼上了杜若的臉頰。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS0AFdpKAA
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNQ7o66IA6
「……我會試著做到的。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXef09WFsaI
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hwvrKjxFb
「什麼嘛……」聽見這不乾脆的回答，杜若便沒輒地笑了。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1wfqwT7KR
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxiig2rgLO
「不過……我相信紫藤喔。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUUimnH00P
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQCEgjk8k3
不給紫藤辯解的餘地。說完，杜若就這麼微笑著闔上眼，沉沉地往夢鄉走去。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfnKbVkn1D
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwYpu6BGfr
窗外打進的微光逐漸照亮紫藤的視野，杜若雪白的髮絲在輪廓的邊緣透著薄光，就宛如隨風飄逸的紗絹一樣。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYtQR2vzr8
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh1umzOTEm
從呼吸聲聽來，杜若大概是在睡著時就會蜷起身子的類型——就連這點也跟貓很像啊，紫藤不禁調侃地想。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnING2NnyKx
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwxmKsAuAh
疼痛令紫藤沒辦法把杜若給攬進懷中，但紫藤卻仍湊近了身子，把那道溫熱的呼吸給小心地挨近胸口。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMduwoetYC
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFG6E8NFUO
而杜若只是既像在回應、又像在撒嬌般地發出一聲夢囈，把身子更加地縮了進去。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPWNZVxm7v
