踩地的咯噠聲一停止，繫在粗繩上的銅鈴立刻發出了聲響，緊接著是衣服與地面的沙沙摩擦。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vvr3ue3gK

紅白相間的粗繩下方，泛灰的綠檀木捐獻箱前，一女子頭戴斗笠，荼白輕紗半掩，枯茶色破舊草屐與之形成對比。她雙膝跪地，張開雙臂，後復收攏胸前作合掌之姿：縞素大袖隨之伸展、摺疊，老銀手環亦叮咚作響。隔著面上那層薄霜，依稀能見女子雙目輕闔，似是微睡。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mB9d0R1EU

霎時，开字形牌坊兩側的杉林陷入寂靜，本來喧囂的鳥雀皆停止歌唱，風不再遞送芬芳，地面開始嗡嗡作響；照當地人的說法，那是因為神明來了。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWxNIJj1Cg
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GmOp9JMtb
但，女子僅擺出祈禱的姿勢，自始至終未曾拍手。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX7vkGkJfh
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsAE0ADa2w
既然沒有誠心呼喚，那來者會是誰？332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5Pvey8PyC
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSt80nyBjZ
地鳴逐漸接近，在即將佔據聽覺時向另一邊遠去，把碎裂的嘈雜歸還山林。女子昂首，再度睜眼，視線正對上了木造建築深處的神龕。狹小的神龕裡，一把未出鞘的武器橫臥架上，左右乍看無多餘空間，彷彿直接嵌入兩壁；想必那就是此處供奉的神體。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLTL6TRgi3
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgTojN8Gyx
「不拍手嗎？旅行的小姐？」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPOlvWEJV6
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfeZVqpJOZ
了無生氣的院落忽然響起有血有肉的聲音，像本來就在那裡似的。可在此前除女子之外，並無別的腳步。她循聲側頭，只是面無表情盯著憑空冒出的高大身影：官服、官帽、一點瀏海、三隻眼睛……332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xZB6g0xix
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡochD7tgyMm
良久，才幽幽答道：「我不信神。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABE6qbIvCF
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB8hDna4ic
雖這麼說，她還是保持跪姿，視線則從陌生的來者移回神體。難道女子沒發現任何異狀嗎？不，她確實清楚看見，那來者多出的眼豎於眉心上方，如細長寶石般晶瑩透亮。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGql0sqwg6
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEJi2jGRgg
「不信神的話，又為何祈禱呢？」陌生的影子瞅著她，似是覺得有趣。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYykGbYRrPf
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr3stLi7JK
「我喜歡安靜。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGZlpgIiun
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvainz9j7V
「是嗎？但這兒可是全世界最吵的地方啊！」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDijtIVsTrs
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIikbj1jOGF
話音甫落，大地以萬籟俱寂應答，此間只剩白衣摩娑，以及女子的呼吸、脈搏。樹影輕盈搖曳，落葉無聲飄抵歸處。什麼都沒有，整個世界像是陷入水中，耳邊迴旋著無法觸及的流動。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk6edM8qhf
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhLI8L6Rh7
「聽不見嗎？這些來自遐邇的祈禱，經歲月之輪輾碎，囚禁於狹縫反覆摩擦的回聲。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG5zHDAZlW
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGUmqxfZH1
那人伸展了官服的寬袖，身影似乎在一瞬間高大起來，說出口的句子成了水的一部份，遙遠、純粹、絕對。女子不動如山，面紗和幾綹未束起的髮迎著風，像堅定逆流而上的巡禮者。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb2IzLXnVE
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4gQH3ca1D
「那不過是願望淘選後留下的砂，終將沉澱為路徑；路徑不會吵鬧，只有心會揚起塵埃。」若隱若現的面容在光線下潤澤如珠，月季的唇瓣低聲訴說，一開一闔，花開花落，「我，將前去踏平那些徬徨的土石。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywvaGlFsSK
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemFm5IShCH
「啊，原來是辭別嗎？可是遠方？」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RihEWVLS6
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEeXJgexJQ
「嗯。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGjtbXCjtZ
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa5F7mFnNx
三隻眼睛的人垂下肩膀，似乎些許放鬆，他朝女子前進幾步，略略低頭：「可惜，現在還不到季節。如妳所見，這裡沒什麼能為妳餞行，還請見諒。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgFBlRGSFT
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1GMFwXdkY
「無妨。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft6kDadxhf
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxXAascMH2
見女子打算起身，穿著官服的陌生人立刻向後一退，翻身踮上參道旁的石燈，在女子身側居高臨下。而她站直後雙手交疊，逕自朝神龕走去，每一步都像竹林的落淚。那人看著她摘下紗笠，越過結界、跨過木籬，心中暗驚，卻也不打算阻止。不，該說他正要開口之際，便被某物安穩放下的聲音打斷，沉甸甸的。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI1uo3q4U9
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVCeowEJor
「那是……」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi3LIgpFvV
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDkK1a1iJZ
「放這裡可以嗎？」女子背對著，看不見表情。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikWg3xq7md
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe35PDSAoEn
「什麼？」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoGqOXAP7Z
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G3YpdM69j
「供品，」她的聲音從陰影處傳來，「本就是參拜之人該帶的東西。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4l3XCUntn
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ572xpAzk2
「啊，也是。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPxvF0CObM
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iuVrZfVex
待她自陰影處走出，他才看見神體前方溫暖的金屬反光，是一條串著許多垂墜的老銀手環，不久前還戴在她手上。月暈的色澤訴說斑駁的歷史，承載著眾多生靈的祈願，一代接著一代吶喊著。他覺得耳邊益發嘈雜了。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnjuFnMefN
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1RF3oPFCv
「真的可以嗎？那是很貴重的東西吧？」打算把那東西送給荒野的神明嗎？她是認真的？332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6jxgQNtPf
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakHMb1u3fd
女子再度戴上紗笠，無聲的唇拼成「是」的嘴型，餘下的語聲細細呢喃：「離開就不需要了。」一面繫緊腰帶，一面整理著成對的素袖。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwYTgoFJiE
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhrKZ4Vgyf
樹影之外，陰翳漸漸浮上穹頂，潮濕的吐息亦悄悄漫成可見的實體。女子壓低斗笠，大袖再度展開，這次她終於重重拍手，颳起一道巨大響亮的掌風。本來靜寂的樹林再度甦醒，枝幹與葉不安躁動。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7toJWNWvwI
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRRLDZFjzT
「不想收的話，就當作幫忙保管吧。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38xPNH7eUm
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHLW6taskf
「要走了？」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqI8sQ5G2R
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqulSKQifj
「嗯，現在。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHGAxqjh6N
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ73LAC8y21
「那就不送妳啦！一直以來只有別人送我，沒有我送別人。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMxUEYIzCz
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqel851pVxn
風起了，女子朝陌生人處回頭。眨眼的瞬間，本來站在眼前的人影驟然消失；石燈的頂端，只有一隻蜻蜓孤伶伶停著，拍了拍翅膀便離去。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS33Zw4EfP
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5yWmcP0al
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnts0EEIQZ0
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrqdl095wx
——要記得啊，蜻蜓離開水域太久是活不下去的。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64d4qzpyWi
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5PrU6rOlG
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nFnn6mID7

真是多餘的擔心。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWaMTsVp1J
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0npWSRQnU
「如果是蜻蜓的話，就算只剩一片翅膀，也可以飛行。」既然能飛的話，有朝一日必定能找到新的水域。女子壓著斗笠搖搖頭，向手環發出閃光的地方看去。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK5PS5hmSs
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65Bid5rzw3
「……就怕你不肯收呢，所以我還準備了另一個。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaiOgDLmA9
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPpBPh8Q7S
語畢，女子展臂原地旋舞，衣袖翻動，靈動如蛺蝶，淒婉似仙鶴。周圍草木彷彿有所感應，羽葉紛飛同風扶搖；以女子為軸心的旋風中，漸漸混入一抹淺桃，女子的身影則越來越稀薄。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeq1GNtn71
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOP9l6NjfK
末了，只見花瓣紛飛。參道上，再也尋不著伊人倩影。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawSOzi2S55
