鑼鼓喧天、焚香裊裊，一年一度的香陣裡，少年李信本挑著扁擔，為天兵天將的坐騎供上草水還願，習稱〈擔馬草水〉。操著法器的乩童、虔信之至的信眾，曖昧記憶中留下一抹無法抹去的血光，如廟旁的街巷曲折蜿蜒……
The gongs and drums were loud and incense was burning in the air. In the annual incense array, Li Xinben, a young man, carried a pole and offered grass water to the mounts of the heavenly soldiers and generals. The young boy with the magic weapon and the most devout believers left a trace of blood in the ambiguous memory that could not be erased, such as the winding streets beside the temple...
作品簡介
★ 收錄第十五屆林榮三文學獎．短篇小說獎首獎作品〈擔馬草水〉 作者姜天陸為退休國小校長，多年浸淫於小說技藝的探索，也出入兒童文學之間。他善於透過刻畫場景細密綰合景物與情感，烘托故事整體氛圍。敝落的情景構成孤絕壓抑的基調，帶領讀者隨著無奈分發至〈荒村〉實習的年輕教師，進入時間近乎停滯的荒蕪分校。在看似平和的農村景致與養鴨勞作中，藉畸零的〈三腳鴨〉喻事喻人，寫農村潛藏的暗影與父子間的複雜情感。金門寒風中穿越長而陰濕的〈坑道〉，年輕士官在瀰漫著惘惘威脅的離島營區，對抗的卻是荒謬的軍旅現場。 作者用自然平實的語言架構出小說世界，包藏了自身的豐富閱歷與世情觀察。敘事中偶現的鋒利質疑挑開民俗傳統的兩面性，閃現的幽默則破開暴漲溪水與愛情迷障間的〈鬼打牆〉。〈游絲〉與〈六月〉分別觀照都市邊陲與偏遠鄉村中無法被體制照顧的求生者；近未來的機器人奇想〈小雅〉與招致失眠的傳統〈木耳〉栽培產業，則共同指向當代老人照護的身心困境。對人物稍有距離的凝視並不意味著漠然，反而提供另一種深具同理的體諒。姜天陸不僅用短篇小說照見人生的剖面，也映射出臺灣社會的斑駁圖景。
★ Included in the 15th Lin Rongsan Literary Award. Short Story Award First Prize Work "Danma Grass Water" The author, Jiang Tianlu, is a retired elementary school principal. He has been immersed in the exploration of novel techniques for many years, and he is also in and out of children's literature. He is good at depicting the scene in detail, combining the scenery and emotions, and setting off the overall atmosphere of the story. The desolate scene constitutes the tone of isolation and depression, leading readers to follow the young teachers who are reluctantly distributed to the "Desolate Village" for internship, and enter the deserted branch school where time is almost stagnant. In the seemingly peaceful rural scenery and the work of raising ducks, I use the unusual "Three-legged Duck" as a metaphor for people and things, to describe the hidden shadows in the countryside and the complex emotions between father and son. Passing through the long and dank "tunnel" in the cold wind of Kinmen, the young sergeant was in the outlying island camp that was filled with confusion and threat, but he was confronting the absurd military scene. The author uses natural and plain language to frame the world of the novel, which contains his own rich experience and observation of the world. The occasional sharp questioning in the narrative opens up the duplicity of folk traditions, while the flashes of humor break open the "Ghost Beating the Wall" between the skyrocketing stream and the obsession of love. "Gossamer" and "June" respectively observe the survivors in the urban borderlands and remote villages who cannot be taken care of by the system; the near-future robot fantasy "Xiaoya" and the traditional insomnia-causing traditional "Agaric" cultivation industry jointly point to the care of the contemporary elderly mental and physical predicament. Staring at the characters from a distance does not mean indifference, but provides another kind of empathetic consideration. Jiang Tianlu not only uses short stories to show the profile of life, but also reflects the mottled picture of Taiwanese society.
