Chapter 17 Story sixteen take everything from you

On the sixteenth day, there were sporadic raindrops in the sky again. In the afternoon, as soon as I walked into the gate of the villa, I smelled a fresh scent of green grass, which made my chest feel refreshed. When I went up to the third floor, I was surprised to see that Dr. Li Dan was also staying in the bedroom. Zhao Bochu explained that Dr. Li heard that I was going to tell a ghost story about the hospital today, so he insisted on staying and wanted to hear me tell the story. In fact, I heard my cousin once told me that Li Dan was a very strange doctor, and the number of patients who died in his hands was as many as those he saved.Because he is a doctor in the cardiovascular department, almost all the patients admitted to this department suffer from diseases with the highest mortality rate.

I've heard some weird rumors about Dr. Lee.For example, he never dared to wear white pants.It is said that when he first went to work in the hospital, he once wore a pair of white trousers to work the night shift. As a result, four critically ill patients died one after another in the cardiovascular department of the inpatient department that night.He thought it was a coincidence, and a few days later, he wore that pair of white trousers to work again, but five patients died that night.From then on, he burned the white trousers and never dared to buy trousers of this color again. Although everything can be attributed to coincidence, I would rather believe that Dr. Li Dan really has the ability to communicate with ghosts.Perhaps, this ability, even he himself does not know.

Without further ado, when the candles were lit, I sat on the sofa and started today's story. This story happened in the hospital, and it was called "Everything You Love Will Be Taken Away". Shu Xue struggled to escape from Du Sheng's arms and opened the door, but Du Sheng still grabbed her arm.The old man in his fifties asked viciously with his stomach full: "You don't think about it anymore?" Shu Xue shook her head resolutely, shook off Du Sheng and rushed out of the room without looking back. Shu Xue is a nurse in the Hematology Department of the Municipal Hospital, and she is used to seeing the life and death of patients and their families in the hospital, but she did not expect that her father also suffered from damn leukemia.When she was worried about the high medical expenses of her father for hemodialysis, Du Sheng appeared.Du Sheng paid for the medical expenses for Shu Xue's father, and his request was that Shu Xue must be his lover.

Half a year later, Shu Xue's father finally passed away, and Shu Xue no longer wanted to stay by Du Sheng's side in humiliation.Although Du Sheng repeatedly persuaded her to stay and even threatened her with malicious words, after Shu Xue showed her trump card, Du Sheng had no choice but to let Shu Xue go.In the past six months, Shu Xue saw too many people visiting Du Sheng in the middle of the night in Du Sheng's villa in the suburbs. They all left behind thick envelopes after exchanging pleasantries and left quietly. Du Sheng, who is the director of the urban construction bureau, has a share of the action.Shu Xue knew everything, she secretly hid Du Sheng's account book of bribes, and then left Du Sheng on this condition.

After Shu Xue left Du Sheng's house, she took a taxi to the hospital.It was already night when I entered the gate, and the uncle in the reception room asked with concern: "Nurse Shu, it's the March 8th today, don't you rest?" Shu Xue smiled, and then remembered that today is the March 8th, but Since I have done the work of a nurse, I have no concept of resting on March 8th. The hematology department is on the third floor of the inpatient department, and there are many people taking the hospital elevator. According to hospital regulations, doctors and nurses below the fifth floor must use the stairwell to go up.Shu Xue went up the stairs to the third floor and went into the duty room to change into a nurse uniform.She was on duty with a nurse named Li Ai. As soon as Li Ai saw Shu Xue, she said, "Sister Shu, do you know the legend about the 384th bed in the hospital?"

Of course Shu Xue knew about the legend of 384.The homonym of 384 is 38 deaths. It is said that those who live in bed 384 in the hematology department will die at midnight on March 8th.As a nurse, Shu Xue knew that such statements were irresponsible rumors.The person in bed 384 this year is a seventeen-year-old boy named Xu Ruo. He is very handsome and has a sweet mouth. Whenever he sees Shu Xue, he calls him sister.Xu Ruo had leukemia, which was already at an advanced stage, and his joints would ache after the medicine wore off. He often yelled on the bed in pain.But if Shu Xue was in the ward at that time, Xu Ruo would definitely grit her teeth and not make a sound.The other nurses laughed at Shu Xue, saying that Xu Ruo had a crush on her.As long as she thinks of this shy boy, Shu Xue will laugh softly. In her heart, she regards this boy as her younger brother.

After Shu Xue changed into the nurse uniform, she said to Li Ai: "I'm going to see Xu Ruo in bed 384. His condition seems to have stabilized a lot in the past few days." Li Ai held Shu Xue's body Yijiao seemed to want to say something, but she didn't say anything in the end. Shu Xue walked into Xu Ruo's ward and saw Xu Ruo sitting on the bed reading a novel.It's Stephen King's "Impermanence". Shu Xue has read this book. It's a collection of Stephen King's short horror novels. She patted Xu Ruo on the shoulder and asked, "Do you still like reading this kind of novels?"

Xu Ruo was startled, but when he saw it was Shu Xue, his eyes flashed a strange brilliance, he turned to a page, and said: "This is my favorite article, "Your Loved Ones" Everything will be taken away." I have already decided that when I leave, I will take all the things I like." When he finished speaking, his eyes glanced at Shu Xue's face.His eyes couldn't help but make Shu Xue feel a chill down her back, she just felt that the blood in her whole body was congealed, and there seemed to be countless ants or centipedes crawling across her back.She suddenly remembered that Xu Ruo's eyes looked like a person - Du Sheng.Earlier today, Du Sheng grabbed her arm and looked at her with this kind of eyes.

Shu Xue suddenly felt a burst of fear for no reason, and hurriedly escaped from Ward 384.Standing in the corridor, she took a deep breath, and then her body trembled violently. When she calmed down, she saw Li Ai sitting in the nurse's station looking at her with a half-smile.Shu Xue quickly said: "Xiao Li, please watch for me, I'm going downstairs to buy a bag of instant noodles." She ran towards the stairwell as if fleeing. She just ran to the door of the stairwell when she suddenly felt someone grab her arm.Looking back, it was Xu Ruo. "What are you doing?" Shu Xue cried out in shock.

Xu Ruo smiled lightly, said nothing, and walked into the stairwell before Shu Xue.Shu Xue was stunned, she suddenly began to feel a sense of fear towards the dark stairwell.She felt that the doorway was like the mouth of a wild beast. As long as she walked in, she would be torn into pieces by the mysterious force and then swallowed up.She stood firmly outside the doorway, motionless, with her legs dangling. At this time, Li Ai came over, patted Shu Xue on the shoulder, and said, "Sister Shu, what's wrong?" Shu Xue quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay." Li Ai smiled and said, "Sister Shu, I also want to go downstairs to get medicine from the pharmacy, let's go together." She opened the door of the stairwell first and walked in.

When Shu Xue was about to follow in, she suddenly heard a scream. "Ah—" was Li Ai's voice.Shu Xue rushed into the stairwell, and she saw Li Ai squatting on the ground with his mouth covered, trembling uncontrollably, looking at a corner of the stairs in horror - there, an old man in his fifties was lying on the ground, his eyes wide open. Open wide, holding a pistol in his hand.He is Du Sheng, who threatened Shu Xue viciously earlier, but now he has become a cold corpse. On Du Sheng's neck, there was a blue bruise, he must have been strangled to death.And his eyes were wide open, and the muscles on his face were twisted together, and his facial features could not be discerned—he must have seen something that terrified him to the extreme before he died. Shu Xue stood there dumbfounded for a moment, then realized that Du Sheng must have brought a pistol to kill her because of the account book, but unexpectedly died in the stairwell on the third floor of the hospital.Who killed him?Shu Xue lowered her head and saw a book, Stephen King's "The World Is Impermanent". Shu Xue yelled loudly: "He was killed by Xu Ruo!" Li Ai screamed: "No, Xu Ruo didn't kill him! Xu Ruo died in the ward this afternoon due to complications caused by his illness! He lived in No. 384, March 8th, He will die!" Shu Xue was stunned. At this moment, a gust of unknown wind passed by quietly, and a few pages of the book on the ground were rolled up.Shu Xue squatted down, and saw that it was the last page of "Everything You Love Will Be Taken Away", on which Xu Ruo wrote in scribbled handwriting: "No, I shouldn't just take away Everything I love, I should also take everything you love..." Shu Xue suddenly remembered that in a coffee shop outside the hospital three months ago, when she and Du Sheng were pretending to be very affectionate in front of several developers, there was a familiar face hiding behind a high-backed chair on the side .Now that I think about it, the person hiding behind the chair is Xu Ruo—he must think that the person Shu Xue loves is Du Sheng. By the way, Xu Ruo wrote in the margin of this book, "I shouldn't just take away everything I love, I should also take away everything you love...".Now that Xu Ruo took away the person he thought Shu Xue loved, would he take Shu Xue away? Shu Xue only felt tightness in her chest, and she sucked in a breath, but she couldn't get it out.She suddenly remembered that during the one-month physical examination, the doctor told her that her heart valve was not closed tightly, and she should avoid strenuous exercise and surprises.Now she felt that her heart could no longer bear the severe fright, she took in big mouthfuls of air, her face turned a purple color. Shu Xue looked towards Li Ai who was begging for help. She really hoped that Li Ai would call for help and call the doctor on duty to give her a booster.But she saw a strange smile on Li Ai's face, and Du Sheng, who was lying on one side, slowly stood up, looked at her, and smiled coldly. Shu Xue lay on the ground, her body twitching non-stop, foaming from her mouth.After a while, she finally calmed down.Li Ai touched her carotid artery, and then said to Du Sheng, "She is dead." Du Sheng nodded, and said: "Xiao Li, I have already remitted a sum of money into your account, thank you for your hard work this time." The thing turned out to be like this, ever since Du Sheng knew that Shu Xue's heart was not good. After he couldn't bear the fright, he decided on this strategy. He first pretended to be a corpse, and then asked Li Ai to cooperate with him. The purpose was to scare Shu Xue to death and make her keep the secret of the account book forever.A dead person will never have the opportunity to tell the secret in his heart, Du Sheng knows this very well. Du Sheng stood up, clapped his hands, put his arms around Li Ai, and said, "Follow me from now on, as long as you are obedient, I will let you live a life you never dared to imagine." At this moment, the ankle of his calf tightened, as if something caught his leg.Du Sheng looked down, and it was Shu Xue's hand that pinched his ankle. Du Sheng was shocked, but Li Ai said: "Don't be afraid, it's just because the temperature changes caused Shu Xue's body to expand and contract, and the joints opened to catch you by accident." Du Sheng suddenly realized.But at this moment he heard a thin voice: "Do you think I was scared to death by you?" Du Sheng was very familiar with this voice, it was Shu Xue's voice.But the Shu Xue in front of her was already dead, her mouth was tightly shut. Du Sheng felt fear, and Li Ai also heard this sentence, she shouted loudly and hysterically: "Who is talking? Is it Shu Xue? You were not scared to death by us, then who scared you?" dead?" "It was me - I scared her to death." An icy and indifferent voice came slowly from the stairwell, and then a long black shadow floated towards them like a ghost, getting closer and closer. It was getting closer... Li Ai looked at this shadow, and suddenly cried out in fear: "It's you! It's Xu Ruo!" She mistook her face, and her body kept trembling. The next day, the staff on duty at the hospital found three corpses in the stairwell, belonging to Shu Xue, Li Ai and Du Sheng.Shu Xue's face looked very peaceful, and there was even a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.The muscles on Li Ai's and Du Sheng's faces twisted together, as if they saw the most terrifying thing before they died. What's even more strange is that beside them, there is also a collection of Stephen King's short stories "The World Is Changing", and the page that just turns over is the famous horror novel "All You Love Will Be Taken Away".On that page, there were a few scrawled words on the most prominent header: "Let's go, everything will be taken away eventually. No matter good or bad, as long as I like it, it will be taken away by me." take away." This is Xu Ruo's handwriting. "Oh..." Zhao Bochu sighed and said, "It's hard to say whether Xu Ruo is a good ghost or an evil ghost. Although he insists on taking Shu Xue away, he loves Shu Xue sincerely. Maybe In the whole world, Shu Xue can't find a man who loves her like Xu Ruo." "But I don't think it's good." Zhao Qianlian said, "You can't be so selfish when you love someone. You can't just think about yourself and deprive others of their lives." She suddenly turned her head, looked at me, and said: "Mr. Zhuang, you have never told us about your life. Do you have a girlfriend? Why don't you tell a story about you and your girlfriend? " I smiled numbly and said, "I'm already married, well, tomorrow I'll tell you a story about my wife and I." "What's the name of the story?" ""Auspicious House Rental"." I replied.
