Chapter 0294 – Fan Yu’s Reminder
There were only two colors, red and black, on the white paper, and Fan Yu’s style hadn’t changed at all.
”This is the room we stayed in, your sister was lying there.” Fan Yu’s finger moved across the drawing, passing a few small black figures before stopping above a black window.
The female nurse next to her looked at Fan Yu’s painting with a black line, she just happened to be standing near the window, and according to what Fan Yu said, that spider-like humanoid horror monster was right above her head.
”Suzu, let’s go back to our room and play, okay?” The female nurse crouched down and averted her gaze from Fan Yu’s painting.
Reason told her that the monsters Fan Yu drew were all figments of her imagination, but after looking at them more, her heart always felt furtive, as if monsters really existed around her.
”No wonder there are a lot of psychiatrists who get mental illness in the end, after being in contact with these abnormal patients for a long time, slowly and surprisingly, they will involuntarily develop a sense of identity.”
In the female nurse’s opinion, the reason why she felt scared and hairy was purely due to psychological suggestion.
She tried to carry the little girl to the side, but the girl cried and fussed, just unwilling to move away from Fan Yu.
”Let me do it, you can’t be so rough with children.” Chen Ge placed the snacks and toys in her hand on the table and gently grabbed Jiang Ling’s small hand.
”I’m rough?” The female nurse stood to the side speechlessly, “I just think that frequently viewing such horrible paintings will be detrimental to Jiangling’s future growth, and I want to take her away.”
”Understood, it’s really not easy to take care of a child.” Chen Ge looked mature and confident, his smile contained an indescribable warmth, the female nurse glanced at him and hummed softly, pretending not to care as she looked to the side, only her gaze would occasionally fall on Chen Ge.
”Jiang Ling, I met your sister.” Chen Ge got right to the point, he didn’t treat Jiang Ling like a child, “I went to the Lin Guan Village, I’ve figured out everything about you and your sister, and after a while, I’ll also make a trip to the Living Coffin Village deep in the mountains to thoroughly investigate everything!”
Hearing the words Lin Guan Village and Living Coffin Village, the little girl suddenly stopped crying, her watery eyes seemed to contain a trace of a special emotion, as if she was surprised, and a bit like she was afraid.
Neither of the two spoke again, the room suddenly became quiet, and the female nurse on the side muttered straight in her heart.
”What is this person doing? A living coffin? Investigating? How did he suddenly start role-playing? There has to be a limit to fooling children!”
What was even more unexpected for the female nurse was that Jiang Ling, who had been crying before, suddenly calmed down in her voice, and she very nicely reached out her own little hand to grab Chen Ge’s sleeve: “Don’t go.”
”Is it dangerous there?” Chen Ge had heard Master Bai say that Jiang Ling had a slight deformity, she should be like her sister, with the bloodline of that weird village flowing in her body, and probably knew some secrets.
”En.” The girl nodded obediently, “My mom said that there are a lot of people like my sister there, and they are very bad.”
”Like your sister? What else did your mom say to you?”
”Don’t touch the coffin.” Jiang Ling clenched her left hand into a fist, and her right hand grabbed Chen Ge’s sleeve without letting go, “Don’t go, if you go there, you won’t be able to come back.”
”En, uncle knows.” Chen Ge rubbed Jiang Ling’s head and carried her to the chair, the whole time Jiang Ling did not resist.
”What are you two talking about?” The female nurse was afraid that Chen Ge would say something else strange and directly carried Jiang Ling away.
This time Jiang Ling didn’t resist and behaved well, only when she was leaving, her eyes kept looking at Chen Ge.
”Don’t touch the coffin, this information is quite crucial.” Chen Ge closed the door and sat next to Fan Yu.
At this time, Fan Yu was drawing the second picture, on the white paper there was a black villain walking in the center, behind him countless red shadows fluttered, a gesture of a hundred ghosts walking at night.
”Fan Yu, are you interested in moving into my haunted house?” Chen Ge tore open a few bags of snacks and ate them himself.
Putting down his pen, the physically thin Fan Yu looked at Chen Ge and nodded seriously.
”When I’m done with the matter at hand, I’ll pick you up and bring you over, but you have to promise me a few things as well.” Chen Ge came over to Fan Yu’s side and huddled with him, “I know that you don’t have any mental illnesses, and that the out-of-place behavior you show is only because you have abilities that they don’t have. In comparison, you are more intelligent and mature. I’m not going to go find you some psychiatrist or force you to take medication, I just want you to do one thing right.”
”What is it?” Fan Yu raised his head.
”I’ll get you enrolled in school so that you can live a life like any other child. I don’t ask for you to be as good as you can be in your studies, I just hope that you can make a few friends your own age and get out of this closed little world.” Chen Ge spoke from his heart, and when he made this decision, he was already prepared to take on all the expenses that Fan Yu would need to attend school in the future.
He is not the kind of person who likes to show off his wealth, many times he can save it is not because of miserliness, but he just feels that it is not necessary.
Fan Yu didn’t take a stand and lowered his head again, taking the brush and starting to draw a third picture.
”You can think about it.” Chen Ge looked at the horrible black and red paintings on the table and didn’t force Fan Yu to make a decision, “There’s one more thing I’ll say about you, don’t keep straining your face all the time, learn to smile, just like me. You see I’m always popular wherever I go, that’s my secret.”
Fan Yu, who had been expressionless all this time, seemed to be unable to listen to this, he shoved the painting in his hand to Chen Ge, and lay down on the bed alone, covering his head with the quilt.
”This kid.” Chen Ge shook his head and looked at the painting in his hand, originally he just casually swept it, but after looking at it he couldn’t take his eyes off it for a long time.
A little girl was drawn in the center of the white paper with a black pen, and behind the girl was a huge red spider monster, which at first glance looked the same as what Fan Yu had drawn before.
It was only after a few close looks that the difference could be realized, and the little girl’s left and right hands were each wrapped around a crying red villain, which seemed to be her parents.
”Fan Yu is giving me a reminder?”
Chen Ge put the painting away as he looked at Fan Yu, who had hidden himself under the quilt, and without asking anything else, he put on his bag and left the Jiujiang Children’s Welfare Center.
”This little girl is not simple.” Chen Ge stopped a cab and hoofed it to the location on the advertisement for rent: “I’ll leave after I get the drawers, I need to get some rest tonight.”
He called the phone number on the rental advertisement and found it to be empty.
He couldn’t reach the head of the household, so he had to go to the door in person.
The Third Hospital’s family compound was located in the old city center, where there were fewer people and the buildings were generally not too tall.
It was almost nine o’clock in the evening before Chen Ge found the place, the neighborhood was a bit cold and clear, there were not many lights on, and all of them were also concentrated in the two upper buildings on the periphery.
