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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl6K0ef7ar
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBGzA04wne
十年，陳丹看顧常霜又過去十年。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrQP3gFJtk
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ6gvW0Gu4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vE2KhBit7
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucQEsvw2ya
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc3XvLwP4h
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJJgIU8rh7
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JiPYmxYzq
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRyUPuV975
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGQlgvduVu

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qXHQnOeO1
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn70UYcDUj
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETHZRxl19B
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq1BpYBN08
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKElXUEBHar
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKufD82Kv1R
「晚安，霜哥哥。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocQSdd7u8a
「晚安，阿丹。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS814b2cVXc
他們闔上眼睛。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXY5zGk9yE
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYU3vKsZAx
深冬夜裡唯有明月獨自寂寥。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMGF85jlIL

350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WdmJY0Eht
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf1A3aUgr9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycrS0z4A56
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlujH0PskVd
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyewDDKsdUh
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBJ2gSI63c
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACRutDkp5M
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWamhUbZcNJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Uy1Fp3Lk5
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eW46f4X34
「晚安，霜哥哥。」常霜無聲沉眠，月下桃樹永伴。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6WhwzMQpP

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWz6bc7Wdf
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpTnGPjzmI
「您來了，山主。」她淡然一笑。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik4ngPWTt1

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcoDiqMu2h
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW7NaGY8n9
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDTQN91elH
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4Gaoha0hc
「可是……」帝江忽然打住，一時出神，困於往事。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTxQvlvbr3
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwW8gMNlfZ
「可是？」離綰耐不住沉默，問道。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusQSnZDMW0

350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wBqgKWglq
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2pjEAM5z0
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP89nlML3WO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDe0jaKFd1
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdzAq53J9p
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC3OAjCr27

韶光荏苒，第三年常霜忌日前。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoG44dkGfv
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOynLoSDBR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAjaaPsdFO
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk7dJXuF2t
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbRxEG5xRq
「嗯，一塊兒去。」帝江答。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfJemfsN5K
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEeSjRm94s
「……丹姑娘，也給在下做支糖畫吧。」帝江忽然索要。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzlE4sht3d
「好，晚些便做給您。」陳丹心不在焉道。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhyauGU93I
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWtJemim9a
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qv5vOOMTQ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vlClFv6Fq
帝江笑了笑：「無事，只是今日特別想吃糖畫鯉魚。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCDhJrZhBM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNq15LOFyE
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkDpPPuCgH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o7qObVLjG

隔日，蓬草屋後邊。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXaFv4lXaX
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30Uu6w4uXd
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBagbirD4u
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo4YJ57J6h
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42w7PxB2Mh
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz87XctR17
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdAPA59pfq
