When he heard the word "ghost", Jin Yunran's body subconsciously trembled slightly.
Sitting on the table, Jin Yunlan picked up his chopsticks, picked out a piece of meat for Jin Yunran, and said: "The ghost appears in the beginning, and the rest is a flashback. This book is about... the crazy and paranoid side of love."<
/p>
Crazy paranoid?
"It doesn't feel like the theme of a world famous novel," Jin Yunran recalled the trace on the window,
"So it's not about people and ghosts?"
"Well. The 'I' at the beginning is not the protagonist. The protagonist is Heathcliff, the owner of Wuthering Heights. Do you want me to spoil it for you?"
Jin Yunran is not interested in the following plot at all.
She just wants to know whether the scratches on the window are a coincidence or...
"I, let me see for myself."
She didn't dare to go near that study room again.
What was that sound? Where did the scratches come from? She didn't want to think about it for the time being.
After taking another bite of meat, Jin Yunran suddenly asked: "Brother-in-law,
Do you really like this book?"
"Well. This should be Qishu's favorite Western masterpiece. Listen to him,
Maugham, the author of "The Moon and Sixpence," also spoke highly of it."
"Then I'll take some time... and take a look."
Jin Yunran picked up his phone and started searching for "Wuthering Heights", then clicked on it and continued reading from what he had just read.
With my sister by my side, the fear I felt just now has subsided a lot.
As she read, her expression changed several times. The more she read, the more fascinated she became.
After finishing her meal, she held her mobile phone, sat on the sofa, and continued reading this novel of about 300,000 words.
Time passed quickly, and before she knew it, she finally read about the death of the heroine Catherine.
When she put down her phone, she found that her sister had just handed her a bowl of fruit.
"Let your eyes rest for a while," Jin Yunlan asked puzzledly: "Why do you still use your mobile phone to read when you have paper books? Won't your eyes be more tired?"
Jin Yunran replied: "Well, this translated version,
It's better..."
Then, she put down her phone and said: "The male protagonist is indeed a very crazy person. Just because... the person he loves married someone else."
I don’t know why, but when reading this book, she always felt like she was no stranger to the male protagonist.
The protagonist Heathcliff was adopted by the Earnshaw family and grew up with Catherine Earnshaw, his childhood sweetheart. While he was abused by the Earnshaw eldest son, he also fell in love with Catherine Earnshaw. This love lasted a lifetime, but she married
In order to take revenge, Heathcliff, the young master of the Linton family in Thrushcross Grange, married the Linton family, and then imprisoned and tortured her. This plot, at first glance, is simply bloody.
But Jin Yunran doesn't know why, but he always feels inexplicably familiar with the male protagonist.
As an adopted son of the Ou Xiao family, he never learned how to love someone correctly.
After Catherine's death, Heathcliff tortured himself.
He also tortures others. In his case,
The attribute of evil is so strong that people cannot help but think that this person is an inhumane beast.
But after he learned from the tenants about the existence of Catherine's ghost outside the window, he quickly opened the window and called at the top of his lungs to the long-dead ghost.
However, what gave him back was the endless wind and snow.
"The ghost showed its usual erratic and changeable nature, and never showed up. Only the blizzard violently rolled into the house, and even rushed to where I was standing, blowing out the candle in my hand."
When reading the chapter about Catherine's death, Jin Yunran went back and re-read the beginning.
Suddenly, she discovered the dark side in her heart that she had been hiding so strongly that she was unwilling to admit.
She has always used moral concepts to constrain her thoughts, so she has been deceiving herself, thinking that she is a very free and easy person.
She told her sister that she didn't like the adulterous plot in "The Red and the Black", but it was just a cover-up.
Now she understands——
In fact, she has always had unethical feelings towards her brother-in-law Gao Qishu that should not exist.
When there is no stake, everyone can have the correct three views. But when it is really your turn, you will find that human nature is very complicated.
"What if..." Jin Yunran looked at his sister and expressed this idea: "What if the person at the window at that time was not Lockwood, the tenant, but Heathcliff?"
When Jin Yunlan heard this, his eyes suddenly dimmed.
Seeing this, Jin Yunran thought that this question was really inappropriate for her current sister.
"Sorry, you thought I didn't ask, sister..."
"I also thought about this problem back then."
The ghost of Catherine Earnshaw has lingered outside Wuthering Heights for more than twenty years.
"But this assumption makes no sense. Besides, there are no ghosts in the real world."
Jin Yunlan then looked at his sister and said: "Besides, I don't like men like Heathcliff. No matter what the reason is, it is unforgivable for him to inflict violence on innocent women and children."
"Sister," Jin Yunran said, "Maybe, it is really possible for people to be so crazy about love."
She began to recall the diary.
If...
If...
What if my brother-in-law’s soul still remains in this villa?
Jin Yunran suddenly had this idea.
After reading the novel all afternoon, she found that her thoughts seemed to be abnormal.
"Love and hate may be two sides of the same coin."
Jin Yunran thought for a while and said, "Sister, please go back and help me choose a few more books."
"Well, okay."
Jin Yunran then picked up the phone and continued reading.
Evening.
When Yun Yi came back, he didn't seem to be in a very high mood.
Jin Yunran asked him, but he didn't speak much.
After eating, he ran to his room.
Looking at this, Jin Yunlan smiled bitterly and said: "Forget it, I guess it was a little unpleasant in the kindergarten."
"Well..."
After dinner, Jin Yunran returned to his room and started reading "Wuthering Heights" again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
As she goes to the back, she will read slower and slower.
The story has developed into the plot of the second generation.
She couldn't bear to read the ending and put down her phone temporarily.
Then, she looked at the drawer.
The drawer with the diary.
At this moment.
Downstairs.
Alan brought a pile of clothes to the laundry room on the first floor of the villa and began to check whether there were any items that had not been taken out.
"Huh?"
At this moment, Alan took out something from the pocket of the windbreaker that Jin Yunran changed into yesterday.
A red business card.
She looked at the black cross and skull on the business card in astonishment, as well as the words above:
"Lu Yuqing, the attending physician at the Ligui Surgery Department of Hospital No. 444".
Alan's eyes focused on "Hospital No. 444".
"What is this? Ah, this?"
Alan didn't notice that behind her, a blurry black silhouette appeared on the frosted glass door outside.
Alan took the business card and turned it over.
"A hospital that treats supernatural curses? Oh my god, why does Yunran have this in her clothes?"
The door behind you slowly opens.
Alan suddenly discovered that a shadow approaching behind her was reflected on the wall!
Jin Yunran opened the diary at this time and turned to the last page with words.
Then, her eyes slowly opened wide.
"It will be sunny on October 25, 2021
I suddenly became interested today and wanted to read "Wuthering Heights" again.
Although this is not my favorite Western work, it is the book I have read the most.
My feelings for the protagonist Heathcliff are very contradictory.
However, today I read about the moment when Catherine Earshaw's ghost tried to enter through the window, and I suddenly heard a strange sound.
I raised my head and looked at the window.
If I heard it right, it seems to be just like what the novel describes, as if something is catching on the window!
I checked carefully...I really saw something like scratches on the window!"
"Yunran."
This sound made Jin Yunran jump up in fright.
She raised her head and saw her sister standing outside the door.
"What, what's wrong? Sister?"
"Alan left a note, saying that she received a call at the last minute, saying that there was an emergency at home, so she left first. I called her, but no one answered. Has she told you that there is something wrong with her family?
