我在森林深處迷了路。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjl14ciNrs

身處於瞬息萬變的環境裡，對於時間的感知也變得好奇怪，明明就只是站在原地而已，彷彿經過了漫長歲月般長久。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ7Y9Tyu7B
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjwalCzKL9
耳旁充斥著數以千計的蟲子們的低語。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppg76uueUt
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2FA2aHIJF
那是即便將耳朵摀住，也會源源不絕地從縫隙裡流進腦隨，不斷侵蝕每一條神經的劇毒。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46wGRFdzxk
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlKSYtWJQp
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzFrNEnqs6
於是我唱起了歌。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0STcpsDsN
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXnb5NeA11
姊姊說用不著記得歌詞，只需要輕輕地哼唱就可以了。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsJ7SL5z87
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGSaictnOf
每個音節宛若飄渺在霧裡般的旋律繚繞起來。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb9bYVwFpb
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp89LAAy2U
據說這是來自我那從未蒙面的外婆的遙遠家鄉，祈禱著孩子能夠平安找到歸途回家的歌謠。是啊，無論情況有多麼無助，對孩子而言，只要能回到溫暖的家裡面就沒事了。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmH38onKFO
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPQXHqk6x9
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhl7GuLwx9
我一遍又一遍地，在森林深處唱著這首歌曲。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs3YX0kRZP
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpzodfUTwk
因為，我自始至終都一直相信，我最喜歡的姊姊她會前來接我。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgdmlEyf8U

286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ARso9i6X1
果然，在接近傍晚的時刻，姊姊的身影就出現在我的眼前。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KWzHPF0qC
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBTqkeJ7fk
大概是找了很久了吧，她的樣子顯得相當疲憊，對著我伸出她那滿是傷痕的手掌。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCNeX4nzHz
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsU4AYUyU8
於是我緊緊抱住起初因為害羞而有些反抗的姊姊，用盡全身的力量感受著她的每一吋肌膚。啊啊，那是讓人忍不住想要哭泣，只專屬於我一個人的姊姊的氣味。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0grhN4DRxM
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfywRlev3fC
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YGK689HGK
從此以後，永遠不要和姊姊分開了。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3UK9h9Dt3

「我啊，其實一直都很討厭田裡面那些稻草人。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L5hBJdhjX
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplnqiCKVYW
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v1iLDInTZ
順便先自我介紹一下，我的名字是結城來夏，十七歲，出生於神命村。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24XqXDjKlE
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy02AKFcZDh
由於地理位置相當偏僻，神命村的人口數約莫八百人左右，房屋皆為相同類型的兩層木造房屋，是一座位於深山之中的獨立農村，村徽則是個有點類似三叉戟的樹形圖案。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpOoQ2CazF
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q8K17KmE3
四周除了已經開發的田地外，全都是一望無際的森林。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM4Kruy97o
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoBxohy9Ce
光這樣說可能還難以想像，舉例來說，村內唯一的學校囊括了小學到高中的教育課程，班級數也只有少少的六班，採混合式教育。更微妙的例子是，村子裡面唯一的警局只在入口處配置了總共三名老年人的微薄警力，配給的車輛居然還是附籃子的淑女車，就知道我們距離政府的開發計畫還相當遙遠，或許可能要等到開發完海底後才會輪到我們村落受惠。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKSmMmt2Gi
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpL1nviJ8o
而村子裡面的長輩們，基本上工作都是以農務為主，因此撇開大人們用以運送農作物及麵粉的白色小貨車先不說，對外聯絡的交通工具可以說是少之又少。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJqTuY0OA0
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqoyMA8IHU
當然要是勤奮一點的話，願意走上將近兩個多小時的山路，倒是可以搭到前往都市的公車，只不過班次少到不行就是了。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3DfELYk9B
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOxutdV6RR
至於學校的部份，跟我們居住的村落距離十分鐘的路程，這似乎是因為在山林間要找到比較大的佔地空間有點難度的緣故。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6qp8C3YlM

回歸正題。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE86wIyTWN6
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOSytuDVby
我無論如何都受不了村子裡的稻草人。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYtpyjvXY4
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV3dvRda4Z
而且在我上學的路途中，那放眼望去一層接著一層扇形梯田上面，就佇立著許多衣著鮮艷的木偶。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1bcQ2rTRO
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aVVj0vr3j
那用白布包裹後以水彩畫上的扭曲笑容，平常看就已經夠恐怖了，有些直接倒在田裡面的老舊稻草人，那映著陰影的臉龐更是讓人覺得格外怵目驚心。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTkIbMA8h6
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hbQjwNmIb
哎，當然也不是沒有更深一層的厭惡原因就是了。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW9gTg2w56
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zoU27JtPr
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzug1s2ebl
或許最初還能有些作用吧，然而，對於我們村莊上空那些精明的麻雀來說，目前設立在此的稻草人不僅沒有嚇阻牠們的作用，有時候甚至還變成絕佳的休憩場所，估計不敢靠近的那批麻雀統統餓死了吧，我想這就是達爾文的進化論最血淋淋的寫照。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBIOX6AX8h
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbFjXIjTyQ
正因為有著眾多讓我反感的人形物體存在，要是放學的途中沒有人結伴同行的話，我可是絕對不會面向梯田的方向，就算夕陽再怎麼絢爛也都一樣。換算起來，我看到夕陽的次數說不定比村裡面的每個孩子都少了大概一半以上。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXe4pkyc2g

「呣？ 妳太誇張了啦小夏，那些稻草人不是很可愛嗎？ 各式各樣的類型都有耶！」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWUdDelehe

今天的穗香一樣鼓起她那圓滾滾的臉頰，並將手上的膠帶剪了一截遞了過來。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ91AbHsWaP
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLpyLjnKnn
雖然桃井穗香的臉是屬於有肉的類型，但是她的身體可是瘦到讓我相當羨慕的程度，我想這就是大家常說的嬰兒肥吧，然而究竟要到什麼時候才會成長到臉頰出現稜角，這點就還請拭目以待。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhESlmls2ly

相較於其他人，有著怎麼曬都曬不黑讓女孩子稱羨的白皙肌膚，至於那副掛在鼻樑上的銀框眼鏡則是他的招牌形象。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jcNv98qV8
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58UHpM9b76
當然，身為村中的秀才的他毅然決然地決定不去唸大學，老師們不免對此感到惋惜，但還是對他的選擇表示尊重。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK6TE5LMYd
順帶一提，我們三個人就是高中部所有的學生，要說少還真是有夠少的。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf0i36h8uA

「本來就很恐怖的東西為什麼要去克服？照你這論點的話，我們村裡面每個怕老鼠怕得要死的女生不就一個個都要加緊訓練了。還有，膠帶拿去。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjAivQgc1v
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEjIF5VjaN
「我看這邊應該是不需要再貼了，還有妳剛剛的舉例很怪，一個是有生命的、一個是沒生命的，兩者根本無法相提並論。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecCfrFRECJ

286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkR3cS5BHk
「……還是別了，從以前開始就一直鬥不過妳。我看防颱的準備都弄得差不多了，也是時候該去其他人那邊把葛城叫過來檢查了吧。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlELkQJtldl

耕一他說歸說，爬下樓梯後立刻伸手抓了把椅子大剌剌地坐了下來，看來是想要我或穗香其中一人接下這任務，好一個懶惰的優等生大人。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NIju7de2f
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngI1eTgEkQ
嘛，不過看在我們這間教室都是他一個男生爬上去將窗戶貼好膠帶的，我跟穗香從頭到尾都只有在旁邊扶著跟遞膠帶的份，讓我們去跑腿好像也是挺合情合理的。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X3iHaGjV7

一把抓起書包，我決定自告奮勇接下這任務。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡossDUmUyyp
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz5zKhj3O9
再說了，知道穗香對耕一那爆射著粉紅色光芒的感情後，要是再不幫忙營造機會的話肯定會被馬活活踢死……好恐怖，想到我們村裡那種特大尺寸的農耕馬就覺得好恐怖！286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n6PYHI1vE

「咦～小夏妳今天不過來我家吃嗎？ 今天我家吃的是壽喜燒喔，颱風天吃熱熱的最好了嘛，而且今晚妳一個人在家我爸媽會擔心的。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWfY9GBArx
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZv8P93ToI
「確實是很有吸引力……啊，我還有森叔前幾天送我的哈密瓜，不然這麼辦吧，我回去收拾後帶過去妳家如何，然後晚上睡妳房間吧？」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEulaytMQo

如果我估算的沒有錯的話，葛城老師現在人應該在二樓國中部的學弟妹那邊，因為跟我們這三個幾近成人的高中生相比，尚在發育的國中生可是棘手多了，為了防颱所準備的剪刀啊鐵鎚什麼的，拿在他們手裡的危險性簡直就跟抓狂的公牛沒兩樣。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaRUZFnWSK
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcOHwjqncB
尤其是只有葛城老師一位老師留下的今天，要是出了什麼差錯的話，我們那禿頭的校長恐怕連後腦勺那碩果僅存的幾根頭髮都要不保了。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqTCTq4L3K
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTnTj5niQz

286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1piQH6gkTH
既然已經確定了他的位置，我也加快了腳步朝著目標的教室前進，我才剛準備敲門而已，門板就唰地一聲被人從裡面拉開。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8A4ItOO9d

不論從什麼角度觀察，身穿寬鬆的白色無袖內衣、卡其色的工作褲、而腳上不意外地穿著夾腳拖鞋的男人，用上邋遢這個形容詞再適合也不過了吧。等等，我聞到煙味了喔，這個不良教師。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KKOwGP4Ws

286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G4VzP3RH6
