那日陳丹收下錦囊以後，便再沒見過帝江，有紅衣公子跟前跟後的一個月，好似夢一場。她將錦囊收在放茶具的矮櫃深處，沒同常霜提起，平日也不取出，只偶爾睡不著覺時，悄悄拿在掌心揉捏，確認珠子還在裡頭，這時她會想，想珠子什麼時候才消失？想那位特別的公子是否真會回來？350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcskLKdYnT
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA2gsnUnhe
十年，陳丹看顧常霜又過去十年。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubwbreot8E
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49av4KGr5q
她和常霜相守的日子即將走到盡頭，她知道，大約就在這幾日，因為這幾日常霜面色紅潤許多，與半月前近乎透明的蒼白相比，簡直判若兩人，昨日甚至能借陳丹的攙扶下床，兩人並肩在門前坐了小半個時辰，外邊實在無甚景緻可言，唯有孤零零的鄉道一條，但陳丹十分高興，十分十分高興。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhZ6uZqQ39
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkdl4ZUY4k
聽說這便是迴光返照，陳丹想，但她不心慌，她已替兩人安排好後事，前些日子拿了些金銀給村裡張小二，言說她倆無父無母、無兒無女，若不幸身死還望張小二替她倆簡單打點，埋在蓬草屋後邊的桃花樹下便好，葬在一塊兒。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIfu3S6QDh
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vvbxRZ2a3
此生上天待她不薄，有常霜，有食肆老爹，有朱厭和江公子，別無他求。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsay1mMqPY7
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSZso1rUMv
蓬草屋後邊有顆桃花樹，陳丹和常霜幼時自花坊牆邊拾獲一截桃枝，興高采烈地種下，兩人對植栽一竅不通，只知胡亂灑水，不想上天格外眷顧這株桃樹，竟也經年茁壯，陪伴二人度過許多年頭，特別是常霜，於長年臥床的他而言，桃樹花開花謝幾乎是他唯一見過的風景。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWEVDhj7Tz

陳丹有預感，就是今天了，今日常霜特別多話，思路特別清晰，晚膳時同她講起許多陳年舊事，久至他倆一塊兒爬樹摸魚的那些年，常霜尚能跑跳的那些年。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSuE0KBg8d
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nMk31Eq0t
他說得眉飛色舞，面上光彩流轉，陳丹只是聽，笑著聽，靜靜地聽，在他歇口氣喝水時想著，不曉得閻王爺能不能讓他倆攜手同過奈何橋。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ag28ywu9t
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvZr6P4Frf
到了該就寢時，陳丹熄掉燈火，替常霜掖好被角，躺在他身側。窗外月光更顯他膚色蒼白，陳丹摸摸他的臉。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLetpPaDRN
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuktaGg2HW6
「晚安，霜哥哥。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK2XwFCwUk
「晚安，阿丹。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVLYDXeIHT
他們闔上眼睛。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hVR5Bifgl

深冬夜裡唯有明月獨自寂寥。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtW1UUME65

350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mHWzTVZZQ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41l0wq6Cv0
陳丹睜開眼睛，窗外依舊月娘高掛，常霜雙眼緊閉，彷彿只是睡沉了，她摸摸他的臉，冰涼的臉。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPpJuf5Oks
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lZzs0hRTT
她起身下床，徑直走向放茶具的矮櫃，取出錦囊捏在手裡，扁的，錦囊空了。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjRDYewdhN
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoCVraPqYr
陳丹沒哭，不知為何也沒慌，她將錦囊擱在桌上，拿起原先備給張小二的鐵鍬，就著月光在桃樹下掘啊掘，掘出個不深不淺的坑。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRSX67lotB
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfXC9LLmKF
她回屋抱起常霜，好輕好輕的常霜，她將常霜輕輕放在了坑裡，最後一次摸摸他的臉。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo54F3Iic0
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0M8ZZ93ya
「晚安，霜哥哥。」常霜無聲沉眠，月下桃樹永伴。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWawbVWqDN

天剛亮時，一道紅色身影出現在鄉道盡頭，看見門外陳丹時，俊美的五官浮現一絲訝異。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pek3h3xh4
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYSUjwS9gH
「您來了，山主。」她淡然一笑。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOMuuANpi4

帝江有一下沒一下地扇著翅膀，懨懨道：「那時我問她願不願意同我一塊兒上天山，若她想學，我能教她參悟天道，飛升成仙。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqLJ4IvOuP
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL79nfgo89m
「她說上天山可以，可她資質駑鈍，肯定學不成，不如把握得來不易的餘生，盡情遊山玩水。」帝江話聲越來越低，他說：「我心想如此未嘗不可，我已有數萬年壽數，千年福澤換她一年壽數，她還能陪伴我許多時日，說不準幾年過去，她便想學了。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSWmTw30yM
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoINEN6rbN
「可是……」帝江忽然打住，一時出神，困於往事。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VzN3N5aAB
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhRU7jSmXv
「可是？」離綰耐不住沉默，問道。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FwbYfVjI3

350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ52SDnV2M
十年，於帝江不過眨眼一瞬，於陳丹卻已是大半輩子。帝江記憶中活潑鮮明的姑娘，如今已褪去朗朗笑意，變的內斂沉著，可是無妨，只要陳丹願意隨他一起，無論她是什麼樣子，他都樂意。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PcoeEMfpZ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7TH3GnCvT
此後三年，陳丹果真只四處遊歷，經帝江引薦的緣故，尋常不於人前露面的精怪地仙便不再避著她，著實讓她大開眼界，與眾不同的世界令她猶如重獲新生，一時忘了滄桑歲月，三不五時便要咋咋呼呼地奔帝江面前問他，這是什麼？那又是什麼？神色裡再次顯現出少女的率真。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT0TKc7Ucc
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu0HCME5BS
帝江不睜眼也能走夜路的天山，如今因陳丹明亮起來。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPQeobrl0b

韶光荏苒，第三年常霜忌日前。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR4WI0hBQf
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWzvtGQwO7
帝江膝頭擱著落霞古琴，手捧琴譜，一面下批註，一面看陳丹張羅祭拜事物，他袖裡有隻錦囊，第四隻錦囊。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFlIzp7Ybb
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX7uqmOnHk
「我看看，糖畫、桃花釀……行，都帶上了。」陳丹拍拍手，轉頭問道：「江公子明日依舊一塊兒去嗎？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUgz7cpVy0
「嗯，一塊兒去。」帝江答。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7F2gPZX4n
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQqXRe6duY
「……丹姑娘，也給在下做支糖畫吧。」帝江忽然索要。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrFcTlI9nx
「好，晚些便做給您。」陳丹心不在焉道。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TaduKjjnh
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ3AQ9nzlu
晚膳時，陳丹依約取來一支糖畫，畫的是朵桃花，帝江拿在手裡瞧半天遲遲不吃，陳丹見狀疑惑道：「可是有哪兒不妥？」她不覺得自個兒手藝精湛到值得這樣端詳。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPhfl0rBhL
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTheunZIpM
帝江笑了笑：「無事，只是今日特別想吃糖畫鯉魚。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajQbgcoD88
她還當什麼事呢，陳丹揮揮手說：「不都是糖嘛，入口都是同樣的，您今日將就將就，改日再給您呈上鯉魚。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEeny7TD14
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJYIR5uMUL
帝江笑著轉去話題，將那糖畫桃花擱在桌上。陳丹似乎沒發覺，自她重拾糖畫興趣以後，總是只畫桃花，翻來覆去，形形色色的桃花，至今已三年。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeLf5rFCTF

隔日，蓬草屋後邊。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKLHtoGovm
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEcT3wMFr2
陳丹在桃樹下設好簡易祭壇，擺上酒杯、菓子、糖畫，兀自對桃樹輕言細語。帝江在稍遠處待著，繼續批他的琴譜。每年，帝江都隨陳丹來此，每年他都施法令桃樹開花一日，只因頭一年祭拜時陳丹曾自嘲：「同一株光禿禿的桃樹對飲，當真有味兒。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqzDYpxajV
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfypLtQMmp
陳丹在桃樹下坐了一整日，未曾垂淚未曾嘆息，只是坐著，偶爾說說話。終於，日頭西斜時，她收拾起祭壇走向帝江。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDIiQiJFO0
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9oafSuGYA
帝江對她一笑，伸手入袖，正待拿出錦囊，陳丹倒先發話了：「江公子，這些年多謝你庇蔭，貪生這許多年實是意料之外，該是時候上路了。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fZ9czRTsd
