With an umbrella, Chen Ge entered the city in the rain, he didn't know if he was for the task, or if he wanted to help the woman, maybe both.

Riding to Hanjiang Welfare Institute, although the time for the visit has passed, Chen Ge knows the janitor for various reasons, and he is very familiar with a welfare home teacher who takes care of Fan Yu.

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

"Are you here to pick up Fan Yu? The boy was much better now, and he didn't know what was going on, he stopped locking himself in the hut and began to try to communicate with others, and his drawings were not so intimidating, and he began to use other colors except black and red. The teacher was very happy, and she kept praising Fan Yu.

Chen Ge didn't know if Fan Yu's change had anything to do with the painter of the psychic ghost school, maybe the knot in his heart was opened, or maybe the painter secretly walked out of the door after leaving the psychic ghost school and saw Fan Yu.

Everything is possible, and the painter himself is an elusive being.

"I'm here because of something else." Chen Ge entered the room with the teacher, he put away his umbrella and took out the photo from his backpack: "Can you take me to meet the dean, I have something very important to ask him." ”

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

"What I want to know is ten years ago, when this orphanage was still a private orphanage, you should still be in school, right?"

"Ten years ago?" The teacher thought for a while: "Otherwise, you go and ask the janitor." He's our longest-standing employee, and he's been a janitor 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 an impression of this boy?" ”

"I don't have a face, what do you want me to see?" The janitor took the photo in front of him, and the wrinkles were huddled together: "Who can remember what happened ten years ago?" ”

"Think about it, was there a girl with a poor memory in the orphanage at that time? This guy is supposed to be the girl's best friend. ”

Hearing Chen Ge's words, the wrinkles on the janitor's face wrinkled even deeper, he thought for a while, and suddenly patted Chen Ge's arm: "There seems to be such a girl!" You show me the photos again! ”

The janitor held the photo in both hands and looked at it repeatedly for a long time: "I still can't remember this boy, but I have the impression that the girl you said was abandoned by her parents when she was very young, and it is said that the reason for the abandonment was that she had congenital brain insufficiency, poor memory, loss of doing things, and very stupid people." ”

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

"I also heard that the girl was very handsome and well-behaved, but she was always forgetful, and many children were adopted, and she was the only one who stayed in the orphanage." The janitor slowly remembered more things: "From the age of two or three to her teens, she lived in the orphanage for more than ten years, probably because she missed the best time for treatment, and the girl's illness became more and more serious. ”

At first, she was able to remember the names of her friends and teachers, and with the teacher's training, she was not only able to take care of herself, but also to help with some things. Although this girl has a bad memory, she is very diligent and never returns the word when she is bullied, so the orphanage acquiesces to her staying to help. ”

"But who knew that her situation got worse and worse later, she couldn't even remember her face clearly, she only retained the most basic life skills, and she couldn't do slightly more complicated things."

"She is old, she can't help anything, and she needs to be taken care of by others, and slowly everyone's attitude towards her has changed."

"The children in this private orphanage are not big, she is very conspicuous, and later I don't know what the leaders of the hospital think, knowing that the girl has a bad memory, and asked her to watch the gate with me."

"The leader said that he wanted to find something for her to do, and he couldn't let her become a waste person in the future, but I always felt that the real meaning of the leader was to give up on her, and even hoped that she would be lost." Speaking of this, the janitor sighed.

"Want him to get lost? How did you see that the hospital meant this? If this is the case, then the nature has completely changed, and Chen Ge feels that Fang Yu's change may have started at that time.

"The hospital always arranged some tasks for me to deliver distant items, and I ran around, leaving her alone to guard the door. Once, when I came back, the girl was not at the door or in the house, so I ran around the orphanage and finally found her under a big tree in the back mountain. ”

"I was very angry and asked her why she was running around, and she said that there was a kite that flew very high."

"I was really scared, but luckily the kite ended up hanging on the tree and didn't fly far." Even after so many years, the uncle still sighed a little when he recalled that the girl left a deep impression on him.

"Uncle, when she was guarding the door with you, did any boys come to accompany her? Maybe you're enthusiastic about her? ”

"No, she's always been alone."

"That's going to be 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: "Uncle, you just said that Fang Yu saw a kite when she got lost for the first time, so she chased after it, according to her kind of character, she shouldn't run around, but why did she chase after seeing a kite?" Is she a fan of kites? Could this kite be some kind of signal? ”

"Then you're thinking too much." The uncle was about to say something, but his eyes suddenly widened: "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 child was a chatterbox, as if he also suffered from some kind of disease, and always liked to say the same thing over and over again, you listened to it for the first time, but every day when you listen to those things, everyone will get bored. ”

"So that boy found Fang Yu?"

"Yes, Fang Yu has a very bad memory, and she will forget the things that the boy repeatedly said, and every time it is like the first day." Under Chen Ge's prompting, the uncle finally remembered some things from the past: "They should be friends, but their lives are different, Fang Yu's illness is getting worse and worse, but the boy's illness is slowly normalizing as he grows older." But even if the boy is normal, he still likes to be with Fang Yu, 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 don't remember what year it was, the teacher took the children from the orphanage on a spring outing, and everyone flew kites next to a reservoir in the eastern suburbs. The boy and Fang Yu's kite fell into the woods, and they went in to look for it, and then the boy disappeared, and we only found the unconscious Fang Yu. ”

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

When Fang Yu woke up, we asked her, and she said that she and the boy went into the woods to look for kites, and saw a path leading to a house full of flowers, where there were many children's laughter. The kite landed on the fence of the house, and when they went to fetch it, 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 took the initiative to close the door. ”

Uncle's words may not sound like much to others, but Chen Ge is different, he has been to the flower-filled hut next to the reservoir in the eastern suburbs before!

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

His parents had been strictly forbidding him to go to the eastern suburbs of Hanjiang, but that day was an outing organized by the school.

It was also in the eastern suburbs of the reservoir that I saw the house full of flowers and children's laughter in the woods.

Chen Ge was able to escape that time because he carried with him a puppet made by himself, and 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 that Fang Yu and the boy had also been there, and there was an intersection between their past and his own past.

"It doesn't seem that the items drawn this time are that simple." Chen Ge lifted the backpack, but he was not impulsive: "Two, I still need you to do me a favor." ”

"Say it." The teacher had a good impression of Chen Ge and felt that Chen Ge was a very caring person.

"Can you find out about that boy? I have a date here, probably his birthday. Chen Ge flipped through the photo, and the back of the photo said December 21.

"I'll do my best, but don't get your hopes up."

"I'm sorry for you." After saying goodbye to the teacher and the janitor, Chen Ge opened the umbrella and ran out of the welfare home with his backpack.

"It's not too late to revenge the revenge when I was in elementary school."

He didn't stop and took a taxi to the reservoir in the eastern suburbs.

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

The taxi took Chen Ge outside the reservoir and fled quickly, walking alone on the side of the road with an umbrella for a long time.

My memories as a child are a little blurry, but thankfully not much has changed here.

The river flowed quietly, raindrops fell on his body, and it was pitch black all around, Chen Ge didn't turn on the light because he had a yin pupil, as if he was one with the darkness.

"I remember entering this wood."

Chen Ge didn't know what had happened near the reservoir over the years, it had become more desolate than before, the original residents had moved away, and the forest was connected to the back mountain.

Pressing the switch of the repeater, opening the comic book to summon the headless female ghost and the stench, Chen Ge entered the forest.

The rain falls on the leaves, the sound of ticking rings in the ears, and it seems that there are two worlds in the dense forest and outside.
