Shen Xing looked at her in surprise, "You said you felt the cotton wool was bitter?"
Feifei moved her cheeks like a goldfish, as if she was feeling it with her heart, and then nodded, "Yeah, it's bitter, slightly bitter, but not too bitter."
Shen Xing stared at her.
From this position, he could smell the cotton wool in Feifei's mouth, which meant that the taste was not slightly bitter, but very bitter.
Maybe Feifei's tongue has just recovered some sense of taste now, but the taste that can be tasted is not very strong yet.
After walking along the street with Feifei for a while, Shen Xing asked, "Can you still feel the bitter taste?"
Feifei felt it carefully and replied: "It's still the same slightly painful feeling just now."
Shen Xing squatted down and asked Feifei to open her mouth facing him, and a strong medicinal smell came out.
He looked carefully with the flashlight of his mobile phone, and asked Feifei to raise her tongue, and found that the two blood spots under the tongue coating where the needle had just been inserted were no longer visible, and no blood was flowing out anymore. Only a little red was absorbed on the cotton wool.
"Okay, spit out the cotton wool." Shen Xing ordered.
Then he opened a bottle of mineral water, asked Feifei to rinse her mouth, and asked, "Can you still feel the bitter taste?"
Feifei smacked her lips, "Well, no more."
Shen Xing looked up and around, then pulled Feifei forward more than ten meters and came to the entrance of a candy store.
"Want some candy?"
Feifei's little face suddenly lifted up, looking at the sign of the candy store, her face full of expectation, "I think!"
Shen Xing smiled, led her in, and soon bought a bag of candies, including lollipops, candies, chocolates, etc.
However, he only took a few of each kind, and the total quantity was not much. Although Feifei now had some sense of taste, Shen Xing knew that he could not treat her like a normal person right away, but had to slowly stimulate her taste buds.
It's not too late to eat these candies after the taste has stabilized.
She peeled off a lollipop and handed it to Feifei. The girl immediately took it and stuffed it into her mouth. She could only see the stick of the lollipop shaking up and down outside her lips.
Feifei sucked hard, and it took a long time to catch her breath, and said vaguely: "Sweet!"
"Eat slowly, be careful not to get stuck!" Shen Xing reminded with a smile on his face.
Feifei nodded while quickly sucking the sugar in the lollipop. Although her sense of taste was not normal and she could only feel one-fifth of the sweetness of the lollipop, this sweet feeling still made Feifei Completely intoxicated.
This kind of sweetness only existed in the incomplete memory of her childhood, and she may have almost forgotten it. At this moment, not only is her mouth sweet, but Feifei feels like she has found her former self.
When Shen Xing looked at her, he couldn't help but be happy for her. He felt that this trip to Gaoqing City was worth it.
Just as Feifei was enjoying the sweet taste in her mouth, she was stunned for a moment and looked at a traffic light pole next to the street not far away.
At this moment, under this electric pole, a ragged old woman is squatting there. Not only is this old woman's clothes ragged, but she is also very dirty. The coat she is wearing is thick, and even the cotton batting has been torn and exposed. The exposed cotton batting. It has turned black.
Not only that, there were only a few white hairs left on the old woman's head, as if she was suffering from alopecia areata. These white hairs were scattered here and there, looking extremely uncoordinated and ugly.
The old woman's back was facing this direction, but her movements were very strange at the moment, which was why Feifei suddenly noticed her.
Although the white-haired old woman's back was facing Shen Xing and Feifei, she was still turning her head slightly, only about one-third of the way, and her eyes were squinting back.
In Feifei's view, this weird old woman was staring at her in this weird posture, and this kind of gaze gave people a feeling of malicious intent.
Feifei quickly took Shen Xing's hand.
Shen Xing didn't pay attention at the moment. He just said: "I suggest that we stay in Gaoqing City for one night and return to Yungu tomorrow and Sunday afternoon. In this case, we can have one day to observe the degree of your taste recovery. If there is any If you have any questions, you can go back and find Doctor He."
Feifei was a little frightened by the old woman's stare. She didn't think much about it and nodded quickly, "Okay, Uncle Shen, where will we stay at night?"
"Just find a better hotel nearby. Uncle is not short of money now." Shen Xing said with a smile.
Feifei withdrew her gaze from the old woman and did not dare to look at her again. She just urged: "Then let's go quickly!"
The two crossed the road, walked to the opposite side, and walked about 400 meters further. They saw a hotel called "Shangyun" on the side of the road.
The hotel has a grand appearance and the decoration at the entrance is also very exquisite. Without saying anything, Shen Xing pointed to the door of the hotel: "How about this one."
Feifei didn't waste any time, pulled him in and walked in. At the end, she turned around and looked around, but didn't see anything.
When she was crossing the road just now, the old woman under the electric pole kept looking at her with that weird posture, but she didn't follow her.
After entering the hotel, Shen Xing opened a standard room at the reception desk and applied for the room card. Feifei took a long breath and licked the lollipop in her mouth.
It feels delicious, great!
Ten minutes later, the two took the elevator up to the seventh floor, went to room 708, swiped the door card to enter, and inserted the door card into the power slot at the door of the guest room.
The lights came on, illuminating the entire room.
This is a deluxe standard room, very spacious. There are two beds that are slightly larger than standard beds. Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. Next to the window is an arc-shaped desk and a cushioned wooden chair. There is also a wooden chair in the other corner of the window. Zhang Kuan is a multi-functional fabric sofa. Several parts of the sofa can be put together at will, which is both simple and grand.
"Wow!"
Feifei's eyes lit up, she ran over, flew onto one of the soft big beds, kicked off her feet, took off her shoes, stood on the soft big bed and started jumping.
This action seems to be the standard posture of every child after entering a hotel room. In short, they are very excited.
Shen Xing quickly reminded: "Take the lollipop out of your mouth, be careful not to choke!"
He walked over and opened the curtains. From here, he could see the street scene. Shen Xing turned on the cartoon on the TV for Feifei and went to the bathroom to watch it himself.
same moment.
In room 710, next door to room 708, a young woman wearing close-fitting pajamas is lying on the bed in the room. The woman's eyes are closed, her body is covered in sweat, and her body is turning from time to time.
At first glance, it looked like he was asleep, but maybe it was because he was having a nightmare, but he couldn't wake up.
If you look at it from another angle, you can see that the bottom of the woman's body is covered with a large amount of black mucus, which penetrates into the bottom of the bed, directly through the bed board, and connected to a dark figure under the bed.
This mucus is not a layer of motionless liquid, but rather like blood vessels surging, flowing from the woman's body through the mucus threads into the black shadow below bit by bit.
But at this moment, these surging blood vessels suddenly stopped, and the black shadow under the bed stopped sucking something from the woman's body. It straightened its head, as if listening carefully to something.
After a while, the large amount of mucus between the black shadow and the woman's body was completely disconnected and no longer continued.
A few seconds later, the woman on the bed slowly woke up. She was slender and dripping with sweat. The white hollow pajamas on her body were all wet. Because she had been sleeping, she was still a little confused at the moment.
The woman has been sleeping since last night. Because she was affected by the black shadow, she was unable to wake up and had nightmares that lasted until now.
But at this moment, the attention of the shadow under the bed seemed to be no longer on her.
After the woman woke up, her consciousness began to gradually return. She was a little frightened. She didn't know why she slept for so long. After checking the time on her phone, she quickly got up, took a set of clean clothes and walked to the bathroom.
Not long after, the sound of the shower was heard inside.
Under the bed she had just slept on, a dark shadow squeezed out of the tightly sealed space under the bed.
This black figure looked like a man, but his face was completely blurred, as if covered with a thick layer of black mist.
He tilted his head and leaned against the wall, listening to the movement in room 708 next door.
Not long after, the black figure turned around and left the big bed, passed the bathroom, and squeezed out through the door of the guest room without stopping.
In the monitor outside the corridor, even though the black figure was walking under the monitor, there was nothing abnormal in the displayed image, and nothing could be seen.
The black shadow came to the room 708 next door and stood there, motionless and never left.
After the woman in room 710 took a shower, she was still a little shaken. She took out her phone and dialed a number. When the call was connected, the woman said in a foreign dialect: "Dear, I just came here on a business trip yesterday. Bian, I haven’t slept since last night! Did I get sick? I feel like I’ve been having nightmares and I can’t wake up!”
A man's voice came from over there, obviously her husband, "Really? Why don't you take a leave and come back quickly, and we'll go to the hospital to check it out."
The woman shook her head and said, "I managed to get this project in Gao Qing. I'll take a look first. I'm not feeling well anymore. Fortunately, I won't introduce the project to the client until tomorrow. If it were today, I would have overslept directly. Well, I’m better prepared tonight, so I don’t have to sleep again after sleeping for so long.”
The man on the other end of the phone said worriedly: "Then take care of your health and don't be too tired. If you feel uncomfortable, call me immediately."
"Okay, dear." The woman smiled slightly.
After hanging up the phone, she dried her hair, then made a call to ask the waiter to bring dinner to the room. She then took out a stack of work materials and began to look through them one by one.
"Go out to eat, or just eat in this hotel?" Shen Xing asked Feifei in room 708.
Feifei had almost finished licking the lollipop. After hearing this and thinking about it, the strange figure of the old woman she saw on the street suddenly appeared in her mind, especially when the old woman turned her head and looked from behind. weird posture.
Feifei couldn't help but said: "Let's eat in the hotel. The food in this hotel should be delicious."
"That's true!" Shen Xing smiled and said: "There is a buffet in the restaurant on the second floor. It is 218 yuan per person. If your price is halved, we will go to the second floor to eat."
"Okay." Feifei smiled sweetly.
After the two packed up, Shen Xing opened the guest room door. There was nothing outside, and the two immediately drew their cards and left.
The food in the buffet restaurant on the second floor is indeed very good. There are steaks, seafood, small hot pots, various soups, fresh fruits, drinks, etc. Feifei is very full after this meal.
Because her sense of taste is open, although the taste she tastes is not as complex as the combination of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, but she can probably taste the taste of each dish whether it is delicious or not.
However, her appetite is small and she doesn't actually eat much.
After the two of them had eaten, Feifei suggested that they take a walk in the garden behind the hotel to digest their food.
While in the garden, Shen Xing saw a "Midnight Book Bar" on the third floor. The two of them excitedly went up to the third floor and found that it was a leisure bar integrating reading and drinking tea.
Then each of them ordered a drink, found their favorite book, and started reading.
Shen Xing would ask about Feifei's taste from time to time. Feifei could always feel the taste of everything and seemed to be somewhat stable.
After staying in the Midnight Book Bar until about 9:30 in the evening, the two left the third floor and returned to the seventh floor where the guest room was.
After entering the room, Shen Xing asked Feifei to wash up and go to bed early, and get up again tomorrow to see how she was recovering.
Then he opened a box of moxa purchased from Doctor He, took out a small stick, and lit one end with a lighter. After Feifei finished washing, he asked her to lie down on the bed and put the lit moxa stick close to the transverse muscle of her wrist. Tongli acupoint, slowly move the moxa stick so that the lit mugwort can smoke the Tongli acupoint.
Shen Xing was very patient. After smoking for about fifteen minutes, there were still some moxa sticks left that had not been burned out and could be saved for next time.
The entire guest room was filled with the incense of mugwort, which can also help sleep. Shen Xing couldn't help but yawned. When he looked at Feifei again, he found that the little girl had already fallen asleep.
Shen Xing smiled, covered her with a quilt, closed the window, and drew the curtains to prevent the morning light from being too dazzling tomorrow morning.
After going to the bathroom to wash up, he returned to his bed and fell asleep quickly with the incense of mugwort filling the room.
Time passes minute by minute.
Two o'clock in the morning.
A black shadow squeezed in silently from the door of the guest room. This shadow seemed to have determined its target. After entering, it immediately walked to the bed where Feifei slept, ignoring Shen Xing.
Because he knows very well that no one can see or perceive him unless he wants to.
The bed Feifei was lying on was exactly the same as the bed of the slender woman next door, except that the width was smaller. The black shadow bowed and got in through a black gap under the bed.
About half a minute later, a large amount of black mucus appeared and swarmed towards Feifei, who was lying on the bed without warning. It quickly adhered to all areas of her back, but still did not make any abnormal sound.
After the black figure felt that everything was ready, he showed a satisfied expression, leaned his back against the bed board, pressed against Feifei's back through the bed board, and took a deep breath.
Feifei's body on the bed trembled unconsciously, and her brows furrowed quickly, as if she had dreamed of something.
