他在梳化上猛然醒來。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqRX96j3mD
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOTzuxOJto
電視仍然亮著，新聞報導員正在講述關於疫情的新聞和消息。內容千篇一律，悶人又煩人。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu8HVd7mUq
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwBi0RwLkn
他打個呵欠，伸個懶腰。雙掌使勁按壓梳化，借力撐起整個人，避免膝頭過份受力。許是在凹陷的梳化坐得太長時間，大腿和臀部均感到少許麻痺。不至於會跌倒的程度，但他下意識地一邊倚扶著傢具，一邊拖著腳步走向浴室。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxEFoZtVw9
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrQs8RispN
人老了，身體差了，動作遲緩了，連小便如此簡單和基本的本能也變得困難。甭提總是瞄不準便器，尿液還要是逐滴逐滴慢慢滴出來，彷彿要滴乾他的尊嚴。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlepMxloFuM
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF54Iq4Dqs
怎麼辦？可以怎麼辦？吹口哨吧。口吹曲子，耳邊響起熟悉的歌聲，心裡默唸自勵自欺的歌詞。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMt5aG1bfi

莫再悲 莫再傷 遇到悲哀休誇張196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoPtSc0cHz
誰亦要經風與浪 誰遇挫敗不受傷196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf7EPSIYUA
逝去的 莫再想 路正崎嶇更漫長196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8ZdTiWqix
何用嘆息風裏望 寶貴光陰笑著量196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wH88gmCR7
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT9yaQu9MA
小便後，步出浴室，再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrF8U9KpLr
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxUG8kkNdx
抵不住。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8K1wa32Zt
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj1Q196XT1
他決定到公園散步。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9CFqs9i4B
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6I3iaf9jE
望望手錶，是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcJAS2w0f6
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBZGpW7m8Z
好福氣的，或是三五成群談天說地，或是在家傭的攙扶下散步。福薄的，或是推著購物車奔波買餸，或是顫巍巍地被送上療養院的巴士。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbr41MwEBW
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2VTtC3ijt
自己有福氣嗎？托賴。能走能動能講能吃，與兒孫同住。雖偶有口角，卻也沒有特別煩心事。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b5J0zx43i
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37oJg2Tox9
他知道自己該要感恩，奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhOPUB7l4T
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkrzStFTSq
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJx60KLcwx
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB63LloPqH
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhX1gTE5y0
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvjsVhlExK
他不自已憶起亡妻……196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YEASBHJTc
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5OoTTkXcP
三年前的夏天，她在家跌倒，傷及腿部筋骨，自此總是步履不穩，走路時偶爾會突然腳軟跌倒。兒子勸她多休息，不要外出。她明白兒子苦心，奈何整天悶在家中令她心情抑鬱，精神越益差勁。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZcTVNWfHF
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbjWIsz9hj
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZhQS3r6Qy
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYsnUFNaRv
「我的腿康復不了，是嗎？」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4sCmzEO2H
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6rHBkRNnT
「不是。你向來身體強健，這小小傷勢不是大問題。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d4GB2RaM0
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIUJBCRXd9
「我何時可以痊癒？我想去探望朋友。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5117gDFgq
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVfjVyCKtv
「快了、快了。不用著急！」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXHCxITI8W
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27S3xZnzQW
「即是何時？」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6A5zLWlT1
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtOO3pMshc
「下一個夏天。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZyoHF8l2G
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5u0xx4Bhw
她幽幽回望，驚訝丈夫斬釘截鐵交出一個確實答案——醫生也不敢斷言她會否康復。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeEN5cJGBn
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM6aMjjjW6
樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHnc9Pitth
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvMKn82xta
感動，明明眼前只有絕望。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OEhCQXPBX
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9ijmVItGa
她的手忽爾不再無力，牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZOXWDUkqy
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVljPC25nO
奇蹟？希望？不。僅是信念，難以言喻的，難以理解的。他不是神、不是醫生、不是專業人士。他僅是一個脾氣古怪的躁狂糟老頭。但她就是相信他。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZgacFJRTZ
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cEpMWIFsQ
內心終於安定下來。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xF6AZdIJt
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIa1ThuAUb
她沒再糾結於健康問題，開始向丈夫講述她的未來夏日大計：「探望朋友前，我要先辦一件十分要緊的事——吃『菠蘿油』！」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44SnpwwaX0
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXVrFmGx09
「但你的血糖……」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVyzTTLjVZ
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kfyDc5HLp
「我向來身體強健，這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MGiQm3FlO
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfsY6ZoGIy
他會心一笑，笑她依舊貪吃如豬。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fvZOKQ78a
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iBK4WN8WU
下一個夏天到來。她的腿傷還是沒能康復，走路時拐得更嚴重。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWvHpZoeCS
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOIfdSX1jc
兒子送她一根拐杖。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACVS1Pv72c
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqTaz6aICN
當晚，她躲在浴室裡啜泣。他沒有上前安慰，因為所有安慰說話都沒能扭轉衰老之勢，倒不如讓她盡情宣洩情緒。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSATGaxg11
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9q85hzkaW
她不知道，整個晚上，丈夫徹夜無眠，眼睜睜望著天花，細聽她的哭聲，細想她的未來。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP3Ik3uOxm
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHnz7WoRMW
天亮，兒子和媳婦準時離家上班去。他送孫兒到學校後，馬上回家慫恿妻子一起外出逛街。「夏天嘛！當然要吃『菠蘿油』！」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj9FAchrBh
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJVfUBDKkx
妻子笑了，連忙穿上最漂亮的衣褲鞋襪，戴上最喜歡的髮夾，塗上最鮮色的紅唇膏。她沒有使用兒子送她的拐杖，因為丈夫就是世上最好的拐杖——依著他、靠著他，她安然走到今時今日的七十高齡。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK7u6eHgqQ
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB7o0zoRAl
鐵路車站裡，人流如鯽，彷彿有股無形的強力水流在背後催促著。他懶理，繼續保持慢調，只知自己不僅是自己。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqxXmiaHMl
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOMpeua3rq
終於來到馳名的冰廳，二人各點一客「菠蘿油」。不好吃，亦不是回憶中的味道。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk7mCrm6XX
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4P4efa84d
不要緊，反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPknfQCn5b
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz5ieP3d3G
夫婦相視而笑。笑甚麼，不知道，大概是完成了十分重要的事情吧。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFC3Smyfju
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSP1Syd9d1
於願足矣。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNR01kM7Pv
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgB9Xs7Mbx
沒過幾天，還未開始探望朋友，她已於睡夢中悄然離世……196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeqqmCe69j
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OAtkx9oVt
公園裡，樹影婆娑，鳥叫蟲鳴。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE51wkyTRS
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ7fZ7SiEa
他不動聲息，藏起思念，繼續開步走。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUugtLJT39r
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp4O5M3aO3
總得走下去，不是嗎？196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6ATGgOFxX
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZD9fmJZO3
不努力走下去，就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJCZTmFDp6
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F3ugj6mNv
走到涼亭，看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ0qwPYlIZ
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrxsdwABTR
棋局中，事事分明，步步無情。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7t4yPOxbb
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YKjY8SeoY
他專注觀賽，全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSuHC7cHC3
