There were only two colors on the white paper — red and black. Fan Yu's style had not changed at all.
"This is the room we stayed in. Your sister was lying there when I saw you." Fan Yu's finger moved across the painting. After passing a few black figures, he stopped on a black window.
The nurse looked at Fan Yu's painting, and her face darkened. She had been standing near the window, and according to Fan Yu, the spider-like monster was right above her.
"Ling Ling, let's go back to the room to play, okay?" The nurse squatted down and moved her gaze away from Fan Yu's painting.
Rationality told her that the monsters that Fan Yu had drawn were all figments of his imagination, but the more she looked at them, the more uneasy she felt, like there really were monsters around her.
No wonder so many psychiatrists end up suffering from mental illness. After interacting with these abnormal patients for so long, you'll slowly develop a sense of identity with them.
From the nurse's perspective, the fear and uneasiness were purely psychological effects.
She tried to carry the girl to the side, but the girl kept crying and throwing a tantrum. She refused to leave Fan Yu's side.
"Let me do it. You can't be so rough with a child." Chen Ge placed the snacks and toys on the table and held Jiang Ling's hand lightly.
"I'm rough?" The nurse stood to the side speechlessly. "I just feel like it's not good for Jiang Ling's future growth to see these scary paintings, so I want to take her away."
"I understand, it's not easy to take care of a child." Chen Ge looked mature and confident, and there was an indescribable warmth in his smile. The nurse glanced at him and scoffed. She pretended to look away, but her eyes would occasionally land on Chen Ge.
"Jiang Ling, I've met your sister." Chen Ge went straight to the point. He did not treat Jiang Ling like a child. "I went to Lin Guan Village, and I've gotten to the bottom of what happened to you and your sister. After some time, I'll go to Coffin Village deep inside the mountain to investigate everything!"
Hearing the names Lin Guan Village and Coffin Village, the little girl suddenly stopped crying. There seemed to be a special emotion in her watery eyes. It looked like surprise, but also like fear.
Neither of them spoke again. The room suddenly became quiet, and the nurse at the side was also muttering in her heart.
"What is this man doing? Living coffin? Investigate? Why are you role-playing all of a sudden? Even if you want to lie to a child, there should be a limit! "
To the nurse's surprise, Jiang Ling, who had been crying earlier, suddenly calmed down. She obediently reached out her small hand to grab Chen Ge's sleeve. "Don't go."
"Is it dangerous there?" Chen Ge had heard from Master Bai that Jiang Ling was slightly deformed. She should be like her sister, having the blood of that strange village. She might know some secrets.
"Yes." The girl nodded obediently. "My mother said that there are many people like big sister there. They are very bad."
"Like your sister? What else did your mother say to you? "
"Don't touch the coffin." Jiang Ling's left hand clenched into a fist, and her right hand gripped Chen Ge's sleeve tightly. "Don't go, you won't be able to come back."
"Yes, I know." Chen Ge ruffled Jiang Ling's hair and carried her to the chair. Throughout the process, Jiang Ling did not resist.
"What are you two talking about?" The nurse was afraid that Chen Ge would say something else, so she carried Jiang Ling away.
This time, Jiang Ling did not resist. She was very obedient, but before she left, her eyes kept looking at Chen Ge.
"Don't touch the coffin. This information is quite important." Chen Ge closed the door and sat down next to Fan Yu.
Fan Yu was drawing the second picture. On the white paper, there was a small black man walking in the middle, and behind him were many red shadows. It looked like a ghost parade.
"Fan Yu, are you interested in moving into my Haunted House?" Chen Ge opened the bags of snacks and started to munch on them.
Putting down the pen, the small Fan Yu looked at Chen Ge and nodded seriously.
"After I'm done with my work, I'll bring you over, but you have to promise me a few things." Chen Ge sidled up to Fan Yu and squeezed with him. "I know you don't have any mental illness. The reason you don't fit in is because you have a power that they don't have. In comparison, you're smarter and more mature. I won't find you a psychiatrist or force you to take medicine. I just hope you can do one thing well. "
"What is it?" Fan Yu raised his head.
"I'll help you get into school and give you a life similar to other children. I don't expect you to be good at your studies, but I hope you can make some friends around your age and walk out of this small world. " Chen Ge was speaking from his heart. When he made this decision, he had already planned to pay for Fan Yu's future schooling expenses.
He was not someone who liked to flaunt his wealth. Most of the time, he would save if he could. It was not because he was stingy but because he did not think it was necessary.
Fan Yu did not say anything. He lowered his head again and picked up the pen to start his third picture.
"You can think about it." Chen Ge looked at the scary black and red paintings on the table. He did not force Fan Yu to make a decision. "There's one more thing I need to tell you. Don't keep a straight face. You need to learn to smile, just like me. You see, no matter where I go, I'm welcomed. That's my secret. "
Fan Yu, who had been expressionless, could not take it anymore. He shoved the painting back to Chen Ge. He lay on the bed alone and pulled the blanket over his head.
"This child." Chen Ge shook his head and looked at the painting in his hand. He had only glanced at it casually, but after that, he could not move his eyes away.
There was a little girl drawn in the middle of the white paper, and behind the girl was a giant red spider monster. At first glance, it looked exactly like Fan Yu's earlier painting.
However, upon closer inspection, one would notice the difference. There were two crying red figures wrapped around the girl's left and right hands. They appeared to be her parents.
"Is Fan Yu giving me a reminder?"
Chen Ge put the painting away. He looked at Fan Yu, who had hidden himself under the blanket. Without asking anything else, he grabbed his backpack and left Jiujiang's Children's Home.
"This girl is not as simple as she seems." Chen Ge flagged down a taxi and hurried to the location on the advertisement. "I'll leave after I take the drawer. I need a good rest tonight."
He called the number on the advertisement and realized it was not in service.
Since he could not contact the owner, he had to go in person.
Third Hospital's Family Home was located in the old city. There were not many people, and the buildings were not that tall.
