Chapter 981 Intertwined Past

Holding an umbrella, Chen Ge entered the city in the rain. He didn't know whether he was doing it for the mission or to help the woman, maybe both.

Taking a bus to Hanjiang Welfare Institute, although the time for visiting has passed, Chen Ge, for various reasons, knows the uncle who is the gatekeeper, and is also very familiar with a teacher of the welfare home who takes care of Fan Yu.

After waiting outside the door for a few minutes, Chen Ge was taken into the orphanage by the teacher.

"Are you here to pick up Fan Yu? The child's condition is much better now, and he doesn't know what happened. He no longer shuts himself in the hut, and starts trying to communicate with others, and the pictures he draws are not so good. It's scary, besides black and red, he also started to use other colors." The teacher was very happy, and she kept praising Fan Yu.

Chen Ge didn't know if Fan Yu's change had something to do with the painter of the school of ghosts. It might be that his heart had been opened, or maybe the painter sneaked out of the school after leaving the school of ghosts and met Fan Yu.

Everything is possible, the painter itself is an unpredictable existence.

"I came here this time because of other things." Chen Ge entered the house with the teacher, he put away the umbrella, and took out the photo from his backpack: "Can you take me to see the dean, I have very important things to ask him."

"The dean has gone home, you can ask me, there is nothing in this orphanage that I don't know."

"What I want to know is what happened ten years ago. At that time, the orphanage was still a private orphanage. You should still be in school at that time, right?"

"Ten years ago?" The teacher thought for a while: "Why don't you ask the gatekeeper. He is the longest-serving employee of ours. He was the gatekeeper when he was a private orphanage. "

"Okay." Chen Ge invited the janitor into the house, and he handed the photo to the old man: "Do you have any impression of this boy?"

"I don't even have a face, what do you want me to look at?" The janitor held the photo in front of his eyes, his wrinkles squeezed together: "Who can remember clearly what happened ten years ago?"

"Think about it carefully, was there a girl with a poor memory in the orphanage at that time? This boy should be the girl's best friend."

Hearing Chen Ge's words, the wrinkles on the janitor's face deepened. He thought for a while, and suddenly patted Chen Ge's arm: "There seems to be such a girl! Let me see the photo again!"

The janitor held the photo in both hands and looked at it for a long time: "I still can't remember this boy, but I have the impression of the girl you mentioned. She was abandoned by her parents when she was very young.

It is said that the reason for her abandonment was that her brain was congenitally insufficient, her memory was very poor, she was forgetful in doing things, and she was also very stupid. "

"Congenital brain insufficiency?" This is still a new term for Chen Ge, and this is the first time he has heard it.

"I also heard that the girl is very handsome and well-behaved, but she just keeps forgetting things. Many children have been adopted, and she is the only one who stays in the orphanage." The gatekeeper slowly recalled more Many things: "From the age of two or three to her teens, she lived in an orphanage for more than ten years. It may be because she missed the best treatment time, and the girl's illness became more and more serious."

"In the beginning, she could still remember the names of friends and teachers around her. Under the training of the teacher, she can not only take care of herself, but also help with some things. Although this girl has a bad memory, she is very diligent and never bullied. She retorted, so the orphanage also tacitly allowed her to stay and help."

"But who knew that her situation would get worse and worse. She couldn't even remember her face. She only retained the most basic ability to live, and she couldn't do more complicated things."

"She's getting old, she can't do anything, and she still needs other people to take care of her. Gradually, everyone's attitude towards her has changed."

"The children in this private orphanage are not very old, so she is very conspicuous. Later, I don't know what the leaders of the orphanage thought. They knew that the girl had a bad memory, and asked her to watch the gate with me."

"The leader said that he wanted to find a job for her and not let her become a useless person in the future, but I always feel that the real meaning of the leader is to give up on her, and even hope that she will get lost." Speaking of this, the janitor sighed tone.

"I hope he gets lost? How do you see that the hospital has this intention?" If this is the case, the nature has completely changed. Chen Ge thinks that Fang Yu's change may have started from that time.

"The hospital always arranges some tasks for me to send mail. I run around, leaving her alone to watch the door. When I came back, the girl was not at the door or in the house. I ran all over the orphanage. , and finally found her under a big tree in the back mountain."

"I was very angry at the time and asked her why she was running around. She said that there was a kite flying very high."

"I was really scared. Fortunately, the kite hung on a tree in the end and didn't fly far away." Even after so many years, the uncle still sighed a little when he recalled it. The girl left a deep impression on him.

"Master, when she was guarding the door with you, was there any boy to accompany her? Maybe he was very enthusiastic about her?"

"No, she's always been alone."

"This is difficult." Chen Ge looked at the photo in his hand, recalled the conversation just now, and tried to find the clues that he had missed: "Master, you just said that Fang Yu saw the kite for the first time when he got lost, so he chased after the kite. According to her character, she shouldn't run around, but why does she chase after a kite when she sees it? Does she like kites very much? Could this kite be some kind of signal?"

"Then you think too much." The uncle was about to say something when he suddenly opened his eyes wide: "That's right! Kite! In the past, there was indeed a boy in the orphanage who had a good relationship with Fang Yu, and that boy was a chatterbox , seems to suffer from some kind of disease, always likes to say the same thing over and over again, it’s okay when you listen to it for the first time, but everyone will get tired of listening to those things every day.”

"So that boy found Fang Yu?"

"Yes, Fang Yu has a very bad memory. She will forget the things the boy repeatedly said the next day, every time it is like the first day." Under Chen Ge's reminder, the uncle finally remembered some of the past. Things: "They should be regarded as friends, but their lives are different. Fang Yu's illness is getting worse and worse, but the boy's illness is gradually getting normal with age. But even if the boy is normal, he still likes to be with Fang Yu." At the same time, he is three years older than Fang Yu, whoever bullies Fang Yu, he will be the first to rush up."

"But what does this have to do with kites? Where is that boy now?" Chen Ge felt that the ghost he was looking for was that boy.

"I forget which year it was, the teacher took the children from the orphanage to a spring outing, and everyone was flying kites next to a reservoir in the eastern suburbs. The kite of the boy and Fang Yu fell into the woods, and they went to look for it, and then the boy It disappeared, and we only found Fang Yu who was unconscious."

"Missing?" Chen Ge frowned. If the boy disappeared, his clues would be broken.

"After Fang Yu woke up, we asked her. She said that she and the boy went into the woods to find a kite, and saw a path leading to a house full of flowers, where there were many children laughing. The kite fell On the fence of the house, when they went to fetch the kite, a group of unknown children grabbed them and tried to drag them into the house. The boy pushed Fang Yu out at the last moment, and then he closed the door on his own initiative. "

Uncle’s words may sound insignificant to others, but Chen Ge is different. He has been to the flower-filled hut next to the Dongjiao reservoir before!

At that time, he was in elementary school and had just moved from the eastern suburbs to the western suburbs for a full year.

His parents have always strictly prohibited him from going to the eastern suburbs of Hanjiang, but that day was an outing organized by the school.

Also in the Dongjiao Reservoir, I also saw the house in the woods full of flowers and children's laughter.

Chen Ge was able to escape that time entirely because he carried the puppet he made with himself. In that puppet lived Director Luo's daughter, who is now the guardian spirit of New Century Paradise.

"It should be the same place!"

Chen Ge didn't expect Fang Yu and that boy to have been there too, and their past and his own past had an intersection.

"The items drawn this time don't seem to be that simple." Chen Ge lifted the backpack, but he was not impulsive: "You two, I still need you to do me a favor."

"Tell me." The teacher had a good impression of Chen Ge, and felt that Chen Ge was a very caring person.

"Can you find the boy's information? I have a date here, which may be his birthday." Chen Ge flipped through the photos, and the back of the photo said December 21st.

"I'll try my best, but don't get your hopes up too much."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." After Chen Ge said goodbye to the teacher and the gatekeeper, he opened the umbrella and ran out of the orphanage with his backpack.

"It's not too late to avenge the revenge in elementary school."

Without stopping, he took a taxi to Dongjiao Reservoir.

"Every time I come to these remote places in the eastern suburbs, the weather is very bad, either raining or windy."

The taxi took Chen Ge outside the reservoir and fled quickly. He walked for a long time by the side of the road alone with an umbrella.

My childhood memories are a little fuzzy, luckily nothing has changed much here.

The river flowed quietly, the raindrops fell on his body, and the surroundings were pitch black. Because Chen Ge had dark pupils, he didn't turn on the lights, as if he had merged with the darkness.

"I remember entering this forest at the time."

Chen Ge didn't know what happened near the reservoir over the years. The place has become more desolate than before, the original residents have all moved out, and the forest is connected to the back mountain.

Press the switch of the repeater, open the comic book to call out the headless female ghost and the stench, and then Chen Ge entered the forest.

The rain fell on the leaves, and the sound of tick-tock rang in my ears. It seemed that there were two worlds in the dense forest and outside.
