Chapter 26 Etiology

When he was a child, Xue Yu was often sick, with fever and cough, but unlike mental illness, Xue Yu could be cured every time he was sick in the hospital.

So at the beginning, the family thought that Xue Yu was just a poor physique, plus he was the youngest of the triplets, and the birth was not a serious illness, so it would be fine in three or two days, and everyone didn't care too much.

Compared with the frail and sickly younger brother, the eldest Xue Bing and the second Xue Tao are quite strong and basically never get sick, and some mouthy relatives in the family said that it was because in the mother's womb that the two elder brothers robbed their mother of too much nutrition, which caused Xue Yu's health to be so poor.

When the two children were young, how could they know so much, they really thought that it was their own reasons that caused their younger brother's health to be so bad, so they had a lot of apologies for Xue Yu, and when they were a few years old, they had been guarding their younger brother, and no one wanted to bully Xue Yu.

Later, after the three of them grew up, they all knew that those words were the gossip of relatives, but Xue Bing and Xue Tao's care and love for Xue Yu still did not change.

When I was in junior high school, there was a tall boy who pushed Xue Yu in physical education class, and was seen by two elder brothers, who rushed from different directions at the same time, striking the boy on both sides, beating the boy screaming again and again, until the physical education teacher came, and they were separated.

In Xue Yu's memory, this was the last scene he remembered when his two elder brothers made a move to maintain him, and when he was in high school, Xue Yu's body suddenly became extremely bad, and he couldn't go to school at all, and he was always recuperating at home.

In fact, before high school, Xue Yu could still go to school, although he often took leave due to physical reasons, but it was not to the point where he couldn't go to school for three years.

As for the reason, it may be because his body sensed that his two older brothers were going to die at that time.

That's right, Xue Yu's body often gets sick because he can feel in advance the bad things that are going to happen around him, such as the death of the people around him.

When Xue Yu was still in kindergarten, he had a very serious illness, and he couldn't get out of bed for a week, and he had a high fever.

When I was cured and could go back to kindergarten, I learned that the day before yesterday, a female classmate in the same class was on the way back from dinner at a relative's house with her parents at night, and there was a car accident, and the family of three died on the spot.

But at that time, Xue Yu was still young and did not realize that he had foreshadowed their death as early as a week ago.

The first time Xue Yu realized his physical physique was when he was in the second grade of elementary school, at that age, it was when boys were naughty, but Xue Yu couldn't play freely because of physical reasons, and he was very bored, so he developed the habit of keeping a diary.

And I remember it in great detail, not only did I record how many times I went to the toilet a day, but also recorded all the things I could see around me in the diary, what neighbor's little black cat gave birth, and the head teacher of the next class twisted his foot while walking, it was precisely because of such a detailed diary that Xue Yu discovered the secret of his body.

Once, Xue Yu was sick again, recuperating at home, and when he was bored, he looked through his previous diary, and when he was reading it at first, he felt a little ashamed, and later, he slowly felt a little wrong, as if bad things would happen around him after every time he got sick.

Xue Yu immediately got up and found his colored brush, marked his diary on the day of his illness with a colored pen, then flipped forward, and then used another colored brush to mark the bad events that happened before his illness.

On March 30th, I got sick and rested at home, but this time it was not very serious, and I expected to be able to go to school tomorrow...

April 2nd, today is really unlucky, when I went out, I stepped on a dead mouse, the mouse seems to have been bitten to death by a wild cat, the mouse has a very scary scar on its body, and it is bleeding, the soles of my shoes are stained with blood, it is disgusting, this is the new shoes that my mother bought me.

On May 8th, alas, I got sick again, this time it was more serious, the doctor said that I needed to recuperate at home for at least a week, it was really annoying, I was supposed to go climbing tomorrow...

On May 27th, I cried for a long time today, because my aunt, whom I liked very much, died, and my mother said that she went to heaven, and my aunt would be very happy there, but I was still very sad, and I didn't want my aunt to go to heaven, I thought she was still alive.

On June 29th, ah, I hated it, I was sick again, coughing nonstop, as if I was going to vomit all the blood in my body, my mother gave me a very difficult potion, hoping that drinking this would make me stop coughing, otherwise if I vomit blood, I will die, and that's how it is played in TV dramas.

On July 5th, it was terrible, and today, I saw the old grandmother next door fall down the stairs, and my mother said that she broke the bone in her arm.

On September 1st, I got sick again, and the nurses who gave the injections all asked me why I kept getting sick, and I was also depressed, why did I always get sick.

On September 15th, it was so dangerous today, my dad hit a telephone pole while driving, but fortunately my dad was not injured, otherwise I would be sad.

······

Before my aunt died, Xue Yu was sick for a week, and before stepping on a dead mouse, Xue Yu was sick for a day...

After reading all his diaries, Xue Yu came to the conclusion that as long as something bad happened to someone who was close to him, the worse his illness would be.

And there is no regular time between getting sick and bad things happening, sometimes bad things happen the day after you get sick, and sometimes it's almost a month apart.

And it's not that the longer the time passes, the worse the events happen, nor the more serious the disease, the worse the things happen.

But after a closer look, I found a pattern, the longer the time interval between my illness and the occurrence of something bad, and the illness is very serious, as long as these two points are met, then the more serious the thing will happen.

Looking back, when I didn't keep a diary, I had a very serious illness once, and I was hospitalized, and about half a year later, my mother was diagnosed with a very serious illness and had to undergo surgery.

Xue Yu told his parents about his discovery, and they didn't take it seriously at first, until Xue Yu took out his diary and showed them that they paid attention to it.

And my mother still remembered that when Xue Yu was born, she was stillborn.
