冬日，藍天，小雪。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8lwcr8eYu

空氣乾冷，每次呼吸都會令肺部生起輕微灼痛之感。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fq6JBAnLc
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hmllXQgQu
帶娣不期然騰出手來，將掩鼻布巾稍稍拉整，以保存溫熱濕潤的鼻息。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2xr5j4I9j
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqcxi4zPHI
「若有快馬一匹，那該多好！」她心想。雖說不是弱質纖纖大家閨秀，但背負整整一籃子大蘿蔔在寒冬雪地上陡步行走於她亦是一件苦事。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOl7zdcU7E
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioWJpjpezg
「小姐。」忽爾有道男聲叫住帶娣：「有興趣占卦嗎？」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdjiEaEtAG
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUylWYc3qv
帶娣循聲望去，只見不遠處梅樹下有一老者正在向她點首微笑。沒有回應的必要，但帶娣自然而然地回了句：「不了。沒錢。」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV7jgfVuHm
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTjhmCfufr
「免費的。」老者沒有絲毫不悅，掏扇撥涼。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx3E7vTMft
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH95U8mSkK
「那麼好？」帶娣生起戒心——世上哪可能有這麼便宜的事情？302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4lYxrfVVO
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4sLl2hNUr
「占卦師乃天界人間之橋樑，工作不外乎『為凡人找答案』和『為天界傳遞訊息』。」光頭紅頰白長鬚的老者笑意盈盈，遠看活像寺廟神像。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHrHY31YMO
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT7hESRa9M
「我沒需要找答案。」帶娣斷言拒絕，再次開步。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymZHCoKMiz
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdDs7euoP0
「但天界託我傳訊息給你。」老者不急不躁，語速不徐不疾：「關於你的終身大事。」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0CWo2UR41
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey4e0Ghaf4
這話正中帶娣下懷——終身大事！302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvsNYlI7qs
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLxem79uIv
農村女大多十三、十四歲時出嫁，以早日生孩子，為夫家提供更多工作人口。而且農村人自知身份卑微，對成親對象沒多要求，只消四肢健全、頭腦正常、能夠正常工作，再醜再窮亦不會乏人問津。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqkKnpEJOa
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRov9XwWPGH
但單身的帶娣下個月將要踏入十九歲！302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMFTc0dN8V
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCoVsuBgIr
怎麼會無人提親？不知有多少鄉里背著她議論紛紛，甚至有人已認定帶娣是個不祥人，有意無意疏遠她、孤立她……302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PmbEjG1tO
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8oVi6XDNC
帶娣神色緊張，急步走向老者，恭敬奉上三條大蘿蔔：「請你為我占卦吧。」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0sHKwc2ou
往大城路上，帶娣不斷思索手中籤文之意。老者不予解釋，只給她一張籤文，奈何她目不識丁，村內又無人識字，那可怎麼辦？苦惱之際，她驀地發覺自己已到達目的地——大城市集。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD5q5V58GW
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbG5FyVcLE
她千里迢迢到大城來就是為了賣出大蘿蔔。老爹種蘿蔔很有一手，尺寸大、水份足、味清甜，每年都能賣得好價錢，賺來的錢足夠買下過冬糧食和一條肥豬肉。她努力叫賣。蘿蔔的好有目共睹，可惜今年經濟不景氣，人人都想年末多留一分錢在口袋，不停雞蛋裡挑骨頭，務求低價買蘿蔔。帶娣見怪不怪，沒有退讓，確保了收入，卻增加了賣蘿蔔所需時間。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjCK32AKdQ
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmPVZDoo1A
蘿蔔賣清光時，天色已黑，大多店鋪已打烊。帶娣苦苦掙扎於該否連夜冒險趕路回家，翌日再來大城買東西，抑或花點小錢到客棧投宿，翌日買糧食後踏上歸途……忽爾靈機一觸，決定到寺廟借宿。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVqUK6suaR
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFrlu8g80l
天氣極寒，寺廟擠滿前來借宿的無家可歸者。寺廟住持命人為大家生火取暖，還提供一頓免費齋菜給大家充飢。帶娣留意到角落有一位看似讀書人的小伙子，連忙厚著臉皮上前請他解籤。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68FdGNcAoC
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ4VL596bX
讀書人聽原委、接籤文，先是一呆，繼而一笑：「籤文說，小寒當日，你的真命天子會出現在梅花樹下。」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVo64IZB7y
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqj5rlqhdE
「哪棵梅花樹？甚麼時辰？他是誰？甚麼樣子？我們是否會馬上成婚？」帶娣求嫁之心洋溢於表，忘形緊扯著讀書人衣袖不放手。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01Y9OdAs0p
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe0ni8mKLE
「籤文沒有提及。不然你試想想有沒有哪棵梅花樹於你有特別意義。」讀書人眉頭輕皺，擔心帶娣會扯破他的衣服。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBIiXs8zBD
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN8HyVW8Qu
占卦老者不就是站於梅花樹下麼？難道是那棵樹？一定是！302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMFidGsPaA
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz6oEpTQ70
帶娣大喜，連聲謝過讀書人。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaudUTVqYGt
回家以後，帶娣一直心心念念小寒當日將會出現的那抹身影。神不守舍，工作頻頻犯錯，招致金錢損失。老爹問清緣故後悖然大怒：「你這笨蛋！怎麼會相信占卦這回事？動動腦筋吧！」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGguLS81eiQ
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D2TOl0ms4
罵聲震天，吵得鄰居們清楚聽到對話內容。帶娣成為村中笑柄，人人皆拿她當笑料。自尊受損，帶娣提不起勁工作，乾脆窩在家裡呆等小寒到來。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVc0YYRlUY
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4XauXBs6H
顏面受損，加上帶娣不願工作，老爹對帶娣更是沒甚麼好臉色。某夜，老爹再次因瑣碎小事對帶娣大發脾氣。盛怒之下，他失控暴打帶娣。帶娣咬緊牙關，不吭一聲，雙臂抱頭護著臉蛋，心中只求不要被打得臉青鼻腫，以免在真命天子心中留下不好印象。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P25n0Vd3t
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyvuRGgkjr
踏入亥時，帶娣所有家人已倒頭大睡。她抵著劇痛起床，匆匆梳洗打扮，披上厚衣離家，趕在子時之前到達梅花樹下。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPUDrYhEz7
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtErZlntTB
寒。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P0dUD1OcG
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEyvUgYczX
「小寒」標誌著開始進入一年中最寒冷的日子，奈何身寒不及心寒。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv35Xt6TFJr

對方會出現嗎？302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmpHEXdvOY
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHcM6P2krh
「會。」她再三告訴自己，強要自己堅持下去。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKthPT4QpF
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMxjKGYfTK
對方會嫌棄她是窮困潦倒的大齡農家女嗎？302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTMzxA27VE
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZrCMZ3sd8
「不會。」她不停催眠自己，未來夫君定會待她如珠如寶。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeLHfyCt0F
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoLqqUhLZH
身體的痛、環境的寒和內心對幸福愛情的憧憬形成強烈對比，她的思緒於希望與失望之間來回跳躍。忐忑、不安、未知將她情緒推向極致。不可以！她誓要把眼淚強忍下來——總不能甫見面就哭得一塌糊塗。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWT2qaCf66
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78SgHDCktZ
痛。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3FL224BwO
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2C6PHt1fe
頭痛欲裂。後腦剛才被老爹重擊過，加上此刻寒風吹襲，受傷位置彷如被巨石擠壓，思緒漸見不清。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoX6AEeHS0
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc1gWkBgkn
這棵樹？那棵樹？哪棵才是籤文所講的梅花樹？302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1sgej1gtA
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlznjHllDxK
有可能趕在子時（一天中第一個時辰）前去到嗎？302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEztn9DRCB4

若果遲到，對方會否離開，不再出現？302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCkqU21N2Z

絕望。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNZ04EvyLt
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM3ig2K6se
帶娣意識到自己沒可能在一片樹林中找到那棵樹。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVpy0l5GL7
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1ypKy5GKI
跌坐地上，哭。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OHkB9it5P

撕心裂肺。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYJ0FQfnuL

颯颯風中，倏忽聽見杳杳嗓音：「你在找我嗎？」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHmT9pt8X6
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ropcqa67L
帶娣抬頭，驚見不遠處聳立一棵參天梅花樹。她連忙止住哭聲，撐起身子往梅花樹跑去。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR4l4QCDUr
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Cl9ZYD6Zm
樹下有人影。對方面朝前方、背對她。帶娣不假思索，衝前從後環抱對方。對方沒有掙扎，轉過身來將她擁入懷裡。帶娣哭，哭中帶笑，笑容裡滿是幸福快樂：「是真的！真的有人會愛我！」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKw6Wbjasa
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzla6nohsNy
她抬起頭，想要看看真命天子的臉。誰料天上繁星突然變亮，星光耀眼得她再也睜不開眼……302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qlR4jpcj9
日。眾人在樹林中找到她的遺體。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZo2IDhyIq

老爹呼天搶地，自責對帶娣動粗。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0nGdi0NAd
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2CifOueT7
村民口頭上紛表惋措，說帶娣其實是個很不錯的女生。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn6PnEWdcj
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdV3i5EGRv
讀書人從寺廟住持口中聽見帶娣死訊，暗忖：「那農婦真笨，竟會相信鬼神之說！」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOKDDkPioU
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf58Wwe2H9
老者從路人口中聽見帶娣遭遇，心裡發笑：「她真笨！我為了騙幾個大蘿蔔而亂寫一通，怎麼她會相信？」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9TLxPPNzg
