VIP45: Echoes of the Empty Valley
"That's..." Just as he talked about these past things, I was attracted by a photo frame beside the bed.?
In the photo frame, he and a man who looks very similar to him. I guess this is his brother, right?!
"This was taken by our brother before he left." His eyes continued to dim.
"You can see that you look very similar to your brother. If you don't say it, I will definitely think you are twins!" I smiled. It seems that the two are very similar, but when you look closely, there is still a little difference. His brother seems to be a little fatter than him, but because he is a little fatter, he looks a little kinder than Jean.
"Many people say that." He smiled faintly, "I am a little over two years younger than my brother. Except for him being a little fatter and older, we have similar personalities."
"Oh." I nodded and he continued to smoke. Although I knew smoking was not good for a person, he seemed to have a lot of sorrow torture him now. If nicotine could make him forget his sorrow, what's wrong?!
But this sadness is spreading all the time. Can you really forget it?!
Although I can't just be where his brother is, I think if his brother knew that they miss him so much and think of him, he would definitely be very touched, right?!
"I'm sorry for disturbing today." I said with a smile.
"It's okay, it's also a good thing to be able to meet the new school beauties of Real Madrid." He smiled at me. This smile seemed very friendly, but the smile still hid a hint of sadness.
"Haha..." I didn't expect that I was really so popular, but it was really surprising!
"Then you will report to the school tomorrow?" I continued to ask. No matter what, this is the real purpose of this time.
"Of course." He smiled bitterly, "I just can't cheer up at this time of year. After all, my brother grew up with me and was also a person with deep feelings for me. Our parents are busy every year, and he takes care of me if their parents are not here. It can be said that he has a great influence on me. But now I am much better. After all, people cannot be resurrected by death, and I must accept it."
Although I really want to tell him at this time that your brother may not be dead, I feel that it is a bit strange to say this at this critical moment.
After all, I have no evidence that his brother is alive, but a strange feeling tells me that he is still alive and if he dies, he should be the one who can find the body.
But now, for this family, they may really feel that they will live a better life if they die. I know that this family has lost too much hope, so they are so numb. They can no longer withstand the greater blow.
"Okay, let's go first, and wait for you to report tomorrow." I continued to play the role of a good person, and then took out some things I bought on the way, "You science students need brain replenishment, so I bought you something."
"Thank you." He just agreed lightly, without any intention of refusing.
After saying that, we left.
"What do you think about this?" I also started asking when I walked in the community.
"I think it's necessary for us to go to the tree hole in the branch office to take a look." Bai Junxi said this as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Do you think his brother's disappearance has something to do with the tree hole?" I felt strange. He just said that his brother might have disappeared in the branch in the end, but there was no evidence to prove that he was indeed in the branch at that time!
"I'm not sure about this, but there's nothing wrong with going to see it." Bai Junxi replied, as if she was still thinking about something.
"I also feel it is necessary to go and see." Young Master Leng, who was hard to speak, also spoke. If I don't say anything, I will be outnumbered!
"Okay, you all say it's so rare. I really want to go and see Old Shen!" Lin Qiuze said with a smile, "You can go as soon as you say it, John and I will go to pick up the car."
After Lin Qiuze finished speaking, he left with John.
Soon, the car started on the road again. Because the branch was relatively close to here, I didn't take any detours.
The road to the branch office is too bad. Fortunately, it is an off-road vehicle, so I am not afraid of this dirt, otherwise it will be a bit difficult to drive.
"You call Senior Chen first! We say we are here, after all, we are not very familiar with the roads on campus, and we also need him to lead the way." Bai Junxi also started to give me a task.
"Okay." I quickly called Senior Chen, and the phone went through not long after.
"Senior Chen..." I tried to make my tone sound more kind.
"Yanyan!" Senior Chen smiled, as if he was very happy that I called him.
"Senior, let's visit a classmate today. Shunbi has come to you. We have arrived at your branch now. Can you come out and chat with us?" I asked carefully, afraid of being rejected.
"That's it!" He continued to smile, "I'll pick you up now, you can wait for me near the parking lot!"
"Okay." Senior Chen is indeed moving fast, and I'm afraid that he can't come to accompany us if he has something to do!
Soon, after the car was parked, Senior Chen appeared.
He still has a smile on his face and still looks handsome and generous. Senior Chen is a person who looks very dazzling, but sometimes I can see that he is not as happy as we all imagined. He seems to have things that he cannot do, and things that he wants to do but cannot do.
For example, when choosing a major or something, his plan is always to consider the future development of his family career.
Sometimes, if you think too much, people will be very tired. Every time Senior Chen sees us, he laughs, but I can't feel it. He is truly happy inside.
Compared to him, I don’t know if it is because he is one year older than us that he is not much different from adults when doing things now. I think we should learn from him too.
"Senior Chen." I waved to him and smiled.
"Old Shen..." When Senior Shen was about to respond to me, Lin Qiuze wrapped his shoulders.
"Qiu Ze!" Senior Chen smiled at him, looking like he could not help.
"Old Shen, let's go, we are here today just to see the ghost cave." Lin Qiuze said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Haha..." Senior Chen smiled, "Aren't Yanyan scared?"
"I'm not afraid..." I quickly replied, I don't want others to think I'm a coward!
"Okay, let's go!" Senior Chen smiled and said, "I only knew where the ghost cave was recently. I just heard of it before."
"Have you been?" Lin Qiuze continued to ask curiously.
"That's not, I just passed by the neighborhood. It seemed like I was going to the mountain with a friend to get the medicinal materials." Senior Chen recalled, "They said that the ghost cave was near the medicinal materials and pointed it out to me. Of course, because of the limited time, I didn't go to see it."
Senior Chen said while leading us.
"You are more like the wild here." Prince William said, looking at the deserted mountains near them.
"After all, the school is an unpopular vocational school. Not so many people arrive, so naturally some of the mountains will be abandoned." Senior Chen said, and also looked at the barren mountain not far away.
"Where is that tree hole?" Bai Junxi also asked curiously.
"It's just on a far mountain." Senior Chen said patiently, "But the distance seems a bit far, and there is no way to take a bus here. Let's go slowly!"
If I look at this college, except for the teaching buildings that look more grand, these places are like primeval forests.
We seemed to be in an uninhabited wilderness. I really couldn't imagine that this was the landscape in a branch of Real Madrid. It seems that a school without popularity is really terrible!
As we walked, a girl coming towards us smiled and greeted Senior Chen: "Hello, new classmate!"
"Okay." Senior Chen smiled, looking very friendly.
This girl looks older last year, she should be the kind of person who is about to graduate, and she looks like an ordinary person who will never be found even if she throws it into the crowd.
After the girl left, Lin Qiuze began to talk to Senior Shen: "You guy is doing well. You have met so many people as soon as you come in. You can also meet acquaintances in such a place with few people."
"She is a senior sister near here and is about to graduate. She said she has only been in school for a week at most recently. In fact, she told me a lot of things before." Senior Chen said lightly, not caring about what Lin Qiuze said.
"I don't know why, but I always feel that it's a bit gloomy everywhere here." William said, looking around.
"It's naturally like that where no one lives." Young Master Leng replied.
"You guys say, will Real Madrid destroy this school? Then bring all the students together?" Lin Qiuze began to ask this question.
"The school has never thought that this school is an unpopular vocational school and is difficult to recruit students. It should be better to move those majors to the headquarters together. It seems that the school has bought this piece of land before it was ready to move it away, so it was not planned to move it away. The principal said that he wanted to abandon the place, but it was left unresolved. I don't know what the situation is, but it's very quiet here." Senior Chen continued.
At this time, strange sounds came from the valley. I couldn't help but feel a little scared and hurriedly hugged Bai Junxi's arm.
What is this sound? It seems to be a crying sound, but why do you hear crying here? And the sound is crying so miserably, as if you have encountered something sad?!
When I arrived at such a place, I began to worry a little too. (To be continued.)
