Five years ago, Hu Meng's uncle caught a cold.

Originally, this was just a very minor illness. With some medicine and a couple of days of rest, given Uncle Hu's physical condition at the time, he would have recovered.

Moreover, according to my aunt, my uncle did not have any serious reaction except for coughing occasionally.

So he didn't even take any medicine, thinking he could get through it on his own with his immune system.

But to everyone's surprise, this time the uncle not only failed to defeat his cold, but it got worse and worse.

At first, he only had a slight cough, but it gradually developed into dizziness and headache, and finally a fever.

When Uncle Hu was feeling dizzy and lightheaded, his aunt found some medicine for him to take.

Although they don't get sick often, they keep some common medicines at home.

The medicine that my aunt gave to Uncle Hu was also targeted at his symptoms at the time.

But after taking the medicine, Uncle Hu's symptoms did not improve; instead, he started to have a fever.

Auntie panicked, thinking the medicine had upset her husband, so she quickly called a car to take him to the hospital.

When she went to the hospital for a checkup and showed the doctor the medicine she had given Uncle Hu before, the doctor said that there was no problem with the medicine Uncle Hu had taken.

As for why Mr. Hu's condition worsened instead of improving after taking the medicine, the examination results indicate that it is related to his personal physical condition.

After that, Uncle Hu stayed at the hospital for intravenous treatment.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Hu's condition worsened at a speed that no one anticipated.

In just a few days, his cold triggered multiple complications, and he eventually died of acute heart failure.

From the first cough to his death, the time was less than half a month.

Uncle Hu and his family simply couldn't accept this fact.

When Hu Meng's family and several other relatives received the news, they were completely stunned and didn't react for a long time.

Just recently, they had a meal with Uncle Hu and agreed to have the whole family get together again during the next holiday.

Furthermore, after learning that Uncle Hu had a cold, Hu Meng and the others called him to inquire about his health.

Uncle Hu's voice was still loud and clear on the phone, and his complexion did not show any signs of illness.

All of this indicates that Uncle Hu's illness was not serious this time; it was just a minor cold.

In the end, it was this minor cold that no one paid much attention to that took Uncle Hu's life.

Although everyone was saddened by this, the dead cannot be brought back to life, and in the end, everyone could only hold a funeral for Uncle Hu with tears in their eyes.

Although Uncle Hu's incident dealt a heavy blow to the entire Hu family, it also made everyone more aware of the importance of health.

Since Uncle Hu's incident, the whole family no longer dares to rely on their own immunity to get through minor illnesses; they go directly to the hospital for treatment and medication.

After all, no one knows if they might also run into trouble because of a minor problem.

As time went by, the family members gradually emerged from the grief of Uncle Hu's passing.

To their surprise, just a year after Uncle Hu's death, another piece of bad news came.

Hu Meng's second aunt also had an accident.

Aunt Hu did not die from illness; she died in an accident.

On my way home from get off work, while crossing the street, I swerved to avoid a stray dog ​​crossing the road, and my car crashed directly into the guardrail.

Actually, judging from the situation at the accident scene, the car was not seriously damaged, and the people inside should not have suffered very serious injuries.

However, the truth is that Hu Ergu was unlucky; she suffered a fatal head injury and died on the spot.

This accident once again shocked and saddened all the relatives.

Because no one expected that on such an ordinary day, Aunt Hu would leave them because of this accident.

After the incident, no matter how sad they were, they could only accept reality.

After burying Hu Ergu, the others realized that they not only needed to take good care of their health in daily life, but also needed to be vigilant at all times to prevent accidents.

There is one rather unusual thing: the time when Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu passed away was different. One passed away at the end of November of the previous year, and the other passed away in mid-December of the following year.

The two died in months less than a month apart.

However, one of them died from illness and the other died in a car accident. Apart from their death anniversaries being close, they had no other similarities.

So no one thought much of it at the time.

However, the successive deaths of two members of the Hu family still caused some inexplicable fear and speculation in the hearts of the others.

After all, the eldest son passed away first, followed by the second son.

If this order is followed, wouldn't it be the third child's turn next...?

Hu Meng's father was the third son in the Hu family. When Hu Meng thought about this, although she didn't say it, she was actually very nervous and scared during that time.

She was terrified that her guess was right, that the Hu family members really would die in order, and that her father would be next.

But she dared not voice this guess, lest she frighten others, especially her father.

So in the days that followed, Hu Meng was especially careful. She would remind her father to be careful every day and carefully observe his physical condition, thinking that if her father felt unwell in any way, she would take him to the hospital immediately.

Fortunately, several months have passed, and her father is still alive and well, without getting sick or experiencing any accidents.

Gradually, Hu Meng stopped being as anxious as before.

Time passed again, and soon it was December of the third year. Uncle Hu's death anniversary had just passed, and Aunt Hu's death anniversary was fast approaching.

Even at this point, Hu Meng's father, the third son of the Hu family, was still alive and well.

Only then did Hu Meng truly feel completely relieved.

After all, if her previous guesses about the pattern were true, then her father would already be in trouble by now.

The truth is that her father is still healthy and alive, which shows that she was indeed stressed and overthinking things before.

But just as she was starting to feel at ease, more bad news came.
