第43章 蛻

關燈
夜色還沒塗滿蒼穹,繁華的都市就急不可耐地點上一盞又一盞燈火。李成喜歡霓虹燈,就是那種橙黃色平鋪安靜的小路。每一次看到,他心裏都會有觸動,這會讓他想起那些集訓日子,躲在路口給喬思暮打電話。就像他往後聽到笨拙的鋼琴曲彈奏,他也會停下行走的腳步。因為喬思暮這些日子都在練鋼琴,李成總是在一旁聽。後來知道,喬思暮聽從醫師的建議,用音樂去緩和李成心底裏的崩塌一角。

“Canon?”喬思暮像往常一樣坐在凳子上,偏頭看著神色低靡的李成。李成楞了會,才搬了條凳子坐在喬思暮身邊,手撥拉著琴鍵,開口問著,“Pachelbel's Canon?”

喬思暮輕輕搖頭,“Canon and Gigue in D major for 3 violins and Basso Continuo.”

李成只好點點頭,“也是,這裏沒小提琴。”

“同度,兩小節,反行。”喬思暮說完便開始敲琴鍵,李成連忙也開始配合,“我盡量。”

悠揚的鋼琴音鉆進了時間的罅隙,使得韶光溢出潺潺流水,流過龜裂的羅布泊,流過塵埃的金字塔,流過陽光四濺的香榭麗舍大道,流過紙醉金迷的華爾街,流過蕭伯納的都柏林。李成記得曾經看過《海上鋼琴師》,上輩子他沒多大的印象,這輩子再看時,他覺得悵然若失,他回憶著《海上鋼琴師》,“Take a piano. The keys begin, the keys end. You know there are eighty-eight of them, nobody can tell you any different. They are not infinite. You are infinite. And on these keys the music that you can make is infinite. I like that. That I can live by. ”

喬思暮抿唇,梨渦淺陷。修長的手指揮舞了起來,李成沒有跟得上,便放棄彈奏了,接著喬思暮往下的每一鍵都扣住了李成的心弦。音樂裏,李成聽得出“振作”的尾音。

“我很喜歡1990的那句話,You get me up on that gangway and you're rolling out in front of me a keyboard of millions of keys, millions and billions of keys that never end, and that's the truth……”李成疲倦地說著,接著看著喬思暮,臉上盡是悲戚,“喬大小姐,that they never end!That keyboard is infinite!And if that keyboard is infinite,Then on that keyboard there is no music you can play! You're sitting on the wrong bench!That's God's piano!”

喬思暮指法也亂了,她停了下來,她握住了李成的手。“李成,你目光不應該停留在一個人的悲喜。”

“我……不知道該怎麽辦……”

“慈善這一詞,一部分人拿它證明自己的身價,於是一部分人認為它是為作秀正名。”喬思暮輕輕地說著,“可是,它實在為一部分窮苦的人謀取了福利。我的意思是,你一直都可以成為良善之人。”

李成笑了起來,笑得直不起腰,笑得眼角溢出星點淚水,“喬思暮你錯了!我就是自私自利的小人!我不是勞什子的好人!你也別拿端著一副活菩薩的口氣……”

“錦然……”

李成抱著腦袋,蹲了下來。

時間滴答滴答地跳著,喬思暮終於出了房間。李成聽著門輕微的哐啷聲,“我也一直明白。”明白自己到底是什麽樣的人。

作者有話要說:

Take a piano. The keys begin, the keys end. You know there are eighty-eight of them, nobody can tell you any different. They are not infinite. You are infinite. And on these keys the music that you can make is infinite. I like that. That I can live by.

鍵盤有始有終,你確切知道 88 個鍵就在那兒,錯不了。它並不是無限的,而音樂,才是無限的。你能在鍵盤上表現的音樂是無限的,我喜歡這樣,我能輕松應對。

You get me up on that gangway and you're rolling out in front of me a keyboard of millions of keys, millions and billions of keys that never end, and that's the truth, That they never end. That keyboard is infinite. And if that keyboard is infinite, then on that keyboard there is no music you can play. You're sitting on the wrong bench. That's God's piano.

你把我推到舷梯上然後扔給我一架有百萬琴鍵的鋼琴,百萬千萬的沒有盡頭的琴鍵,那是事實,它們沒有盡頭。那鍵盤是無限延伸的。然而如果琴鍵是無限的,那麽在那架琴上就沒有你能彈奏的音樂,你坐錯了地方,那是上帝的鋼琴。
