Hospital No. 444

Chapter 131 Window

Jin Yunlan seemed to still be immersed in the plot of "Red and Black" in his hand, so it took about two or three seconds before he reacted and looked at Jin Yunran.

"What did you say?"

"No... nothing." Jin Yunran did not continue. It was obviously a scam call. How could my sister know the name of the scammer?

However, she was a little surprised. She still remembered that she read "The Red and the Black" for the first time and felt drowsy while reading it, but her sister could read it with gusto and even concentrate on it. Later, I went online and listened to the explanation of the entire book as a cloud reader. I was confused that it was just a story about a male mistress, so I completely lost interest. The only European and American literary works she had read were "Gone with the Wind", "Pride and Prejudice" and "Jane Eyre".

"Sister, is this book so good?"

After hearing what his sister said, Jin Yunlan said: "This book is one of your brother-in-law's favorite European and American literary works. I thought it was boring to read at first, but I think since he likes reading it so much, I want to know how much he likes it. I know what my favorite book is, so I keep reading.”

"I used to read online that the protagonist was in love with a married woman, and then the whole book seemed to praise this kind of relationship, so I found it boring."

Jin Yunlan stared at his sister blankly for several seconds before saying, "It's better to read a book like this in person. The explanations online are all taken out of context."

Jin Yunran looked at the thick book and the bookmark placed next to it by his sister.

In this era where short videos are popular and online literature has become mainstream, it is indeed rare for my sister to be able to calm down and read world famous books. If it were me, it would be unimaginable to spend an afternoon holding such a book instead of checking my phone.

Maybe brother-in-law and sister can have common topics and even develop into a couple because they are very similar in this aspect, right?

My sister once said to herself that although her brother-in-law writes online literature, he will give priority to paper books when reading, and will never choose to read books on pirated websites. All the books he reads, he will buy a set of genuine physical books for display. Put it on the bookshelf.

"Well, sister... why don't you recommend a book that my brother-in-law liked to read during his lifetime. I'll read it to pass the time."

Hearing what Jin Yunran said, Jin Yunlan said almost subconsciously: "Then..."Wuthering Heights", Emily Bronte, the sister of Charlotte Bronte, the author of "Jane Eyre" that you like very much Created."

"Sister, you really remember such long foreign names... I only remember the heroine's name in "Jane Eyre"."

Jin Yunran remembered seeing this book in his brother-in-law's study.

So, she went to the second floor.

Brother-in-law's study...

When she stepped here again, she always felt that the light seemed to be much dimmer.

She looked carefully at the desk and the contents of the "forged diary": "Brother-in-law" turned around and saw something terrible, but when she woke up the next day, it was like a fragment and she had completely forgotten it.

She avoided the desk, walked to the bookcase, and opened the cabinet.

She glanced at it and saw that most of the famous works from the Western world were placed in the first and second boxes on the left, and most of them were translated versions introduced earlier.

It wasn't long before she found the book "Wuthering Heights" and pulled it out.

After taking out the book, I looked at its thickness.

It's not too thick...but I feel like she won't be able to read this kind of book.

Why does she have to come here to find a book that her brother-in-law likes to read instead of watching short videos on her phone?

Jin Yunran found that she couldn't explain it herself.

She opened the book.

Obviously, my brother-in-law really liked this book. The pages started to turn yellow and there were some wrinkles in many places.

Jin Yunran sat at the desk where her brother-in-law had been sitting before his death, and opened the book facing the sunshine outside the window.

At the beginning of the book, it is in the first person.

The plot was uneventful to read, but Jin Yunran deliberately didn't read the synopsis.

As she read, she suddenly looked back subconsciously.

That night, my brother-in-law was also sitting here...

In any case, one thing is an indisputable fact.

My brother-in-law did seem to be scared to death.

Jin Yunran looked behind him. The door to the study was open, and there was nothing strange... outside.

"What I saw during the day was indeed an illusion, right?"

Jin Yunran has never been a particularly sensitive person, but she found that deep down in her heart, she was increasingly affected by that diary.

Turning his head back, Jin Yunran's eyes refocused on the book in front of him.

The plot was very boring. She had only read a few pages and it was already difficult to concentrate.

The plot is that a tenant comes to the countryside of England and moves into Wuthering Heights.

The names of foreigners are long and difficult to remember. In just a few chapters, the landlord of Wuthering Heights and a bunch of other characters appeared. After reading it for a long time, I didn’t know what kind of story to tell.

Originally, she felt much better after a good sleep, but now, she actually felt a little tired again.

Until she saw the next page...

"'No matter what, I have to make it stop!' I muttered, broke the glass with my hand, and stretched out an arm to grab the tangled branch, but what my fingers grabbed was not a branch, but a branch. The fingers of my cold little hands!”

Um?

Jin Yunran was stunned, and the tiredness just now was dispelled a lot.

what happened?

She read on.

"While she was talking, I vaguely saw a child's face looking in through the window. Fear made me furious, and I found that I couldn't get rid of that person, so I pulled her wrist against the broken glass and rubbed it back and forth. Until the blood flowed out and soaked into the sheets. She was still crying and saying: "Let me in!" She still held me tightly and was about to scare me crazy.

‘How could I let you in! ’ I finally said, ‘If you want me to let you in, let me go! ’”

Jin Yunran stood the book up and read it carefully.

Why did it become a horror novel?

"The fingers loosened their grip, and I withdrew my hand from the window, quickly stacked the books high to cover the window, and covered my ears to block the sad prayer.

I covered my ears for almost a quarter of an hour, but in the blink of an eye I heard the sad cry again, still sobbing! "

Jin Yunran swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously.

"There started to be a slight scratching sound outside, and the pile of books moved, as if they were pushed forward."

Will the ghost outside the window come in?

With this in mind, Jin Yunran was about to continue reading...

She suddenly heard a sound like the window glass being scratched!

Jin Yunran felt that his whole body was stiff.

He quickly raised his head and looked at the window in front of him.

In the silent room, the sound just now was very clear.

It was so clear that she couldn't possibly get it wrong.

What is that sound?

She immediately closed Wuthering Heights.
