Chapter 159: The Dark Shadow Under the Bed (4100)
Shen Xing looked at her in surprise, "You said you felt the bitterness of the medicine wool?" ”
Fei Fei's cheeks moved like a goldfish, as if she was feeling it with her heart, and then nodded, "Mmmm, bitter, slightly bitter, the bitterness is not too strong." ”
Shen Xing stared at her.
Standing in this position, he could smell the smell of the cotton wool in Fei Fei's mouth, indicating that the taste should not be slightly bitter, but very bitter.
Maybe Fei Fei's tongue has only regained some taste now, but the taste that can be tasted is not very strong.
Walking along the street with Fei Fei for a while, Shen Xing asked, "Can you still feel the bitter taste?" ”
Fei Fei felt it seriously and replied, "It's still the slightly bitter feeling just now." ”
Shen Xing squatted down and let Fei Fei open her mouth in front of her, and a strong smell of medicine poured out.
He took a closer look with the flashlight of his mobile phone, and asked Fei Fei to raise his tongue, and found that the two blood spots that had just been pricked under the tongue coating were no longer visible, and no blood flowed out again, only a little red was absorbed on the cotton wool.
"It's okay, let's spit out the cotton wool." Shen Xing commanded.
Then he opened a bottle of mineral water, asked Fei Fei to rinse his mouth, and asked, "Can you still feel the bitterness?" ”
Fei Fei smacked her lips, "Well, it's gone." ”
Shen Xing looked up left and right, and then pulled Fei Fei forward for more than ten meters and came to the door of a candy store.
"Want to eat sugar?"
Fei Fei suddenly raised her small face and looked at the sign of the candy store, her face full of expectation, "I want to!" ”
Shen Xing smiled, led her in, and bought a bag of candy from time to time, including lollipops, praline candy, chocolate, etc.
However, there were only a few of each kind, and the total number was not much, although Fei Fei had a little sense of taste now, but Shen Xing knew that he couldn't treat her like an ordinary person immediately, and he had to slowly stimulate her taste buds.
Once the palate has stabilized, it's not too late to eat the sugars.
Peel off a lollipop and hand it to Fei Fei, the girl immediately took it and stuffed it into her mouth, only to see the lollipop stick outside her lips shaking up and down.
Fei Fei sucked hard, and it took a long time to breathe, and said vaguely: "Sweet! ”
"Eat slowly, be careful of getting stuck!" Shen Xing reminded with a smile on his face.
Fei Fei nodded while quickly inhaling the sugar of the lollipop, although her sense of taste was not normal, she might only feel one-fifth of the sweetness of the lollipop, but this sweet feeling still made Fei Fei completely intoxicated.
This sweetness used to exist only in her incomplete memories when she was a child, and she may have almost forgotten it, but now not only is her mouth very sweet, Fei Fei is more like she has found her former self.
Shen Xing looked at her and couldn't help but be happy for her, feeling that this trip to Gaoqing City was simply worth it.
Just as Fei Fei was enjoying the sweetness in her mouth, she was slightly stunned for a moment, and her eyes fell on the electric pole of a traffic light next to the street not far away.
At this moment, under this electric pole, an old woman in rags is squatting there, this old woman is not only in tattered clothes, but also very dirty, she is wearing a thick coat, even the cotton wool is torn and exposed, and these exposed cotton wool has turned black.
Not only that, but there are not a few gray hairs left on the old woman's head, as if she is suffering from alopecia areata, these white hairs are a handful in the east and a small in the west, which looks extremely incongruous and very ugly.
The old woman turned her back to this direction, but her movements were very strange at the moment, which was why Fei Fei suddenly noticed her.
Although the white-haired old woman had her back to Shen Xing and Fei Fei, she was maintaining a posture of turning her head slightly, and she was only about a third of the way around, her eyes squinting back.
In Fei Fei's opinion, this strange old woman is staring at herself in this strange posture, and this gaze gives people a sense of bad intentions.
Fei Fei hurriedly grabbed Shen Xing's hand.
Shen Xing didn't pay attention at the moment, but just said: "I suggest, let's just stay in Gaoqing City for one night and go back to Yungu tomorrow Sunday afternoon." In this case, you will have a day to observe how well your sense of taste has recovered, and if in doubt, you can return to see this miracle doctor. ”
Fei Fei was a little palpitated by the old woman's staring, and when she heard this, she didn't think much about it, and nodded quickly, "Okay, then Uncle Shen, where do we stay at night?" ”
"Just find a better hotel around here, uncle is not short of money now." Shen Xing said with a smile.
Fei Fei withdrew her gaze from the old woman, not daring to look at it again, but urged: "Then let's go quickly!" ”
The two crossed the road, walked to the opposite side, and walked about 400 meters forward, and saw a hotel called "Shangyun" on the side of the road.
The appearance of this hotel is magnificent, and the decoration at the gate is also exquisite, Shen Xing didn't say a word, and pointed to the door of the hotel: "Or this one." ”
Fei Fei didn't talk nonsense, pulled him and walked in, and finally turned his head to look, but he didn't see anything.
When she was crossing the street just now, the old woman under the electric pole kept looking at her in that strange posture, but she didn't follow.
After entering the hotel, Shen Xing opened a standard room at the welcome desk and applied for a room card, while Fei Fei let out a long breath and licked the lollipop in her mouth by the way.
It was a great feeling of taste!
Ten minutes later, the two took the elevator to the seventh floor, came to room 708 and swiped the door to enter, and inserted the key card into the power slot at the door of the guest room.
The lights come on and illuminate the whole room.
This is a luxurious standard room, very spacious, with two beds slightly larger than the standard bed, panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, a curved desk and an upholstered wooden chair next to the window, and a large multi-functional fabric sofa in the other corner of the window, several parts of which can be put together at will, which is both simple and atmospheric.
"Wow!"
Fei Fei's eyes lit up, she ran over with a bang, flew to one of the soft big beds, kicked her feet, took off her shoes, and began to jump on the soft big bed.
This action seems to be the standard posture of every child after entering the hotel room, in short, it is very exciting.
Shen Xing hurriedly reminded: "Take out the lollipop in your mouth and choke carefully!" ”
Walked over and opened the curtains, from here you can see the street scene, Shen Xing turned on the cartoon on the TV for Fei Fei, and went to the bathroom to take a look.
At the same time.
In Room 708 next door to Room 710, on the bed in the room at this moment, there is a young woman wearing close-fitting pajamas, this woman has her eyes closed, she is sweating profusely, and her body is turning from time to time.
At first glance, it looks like I'm asleep, but maybe it's because I'm having a nightmare, but I haven't been able to wake up.
If you look at it from another angle, you can see that the woman's body is covered with a large amount of black slime, which penetrates into the bed, directly through the bed board, and connects with the dark figure under the bed.
The mucus was not a layer of motionless, but like a blood vessel, little by little from the woman's body through the filaments of mucus pouring into the black shadow below.
But at this moment, the surging veins suddenly stopped, and the black shadow under the bed stopped continuing to absorb something in the woman's body, and its head straightened, as if listening attentively.
After a while, the large amount of mucus between the black shadow and the woman's body was completely disconnected and did not continue.
After a few seconds, the woman on the bed slowly woke up, she was slender, her whole body was drenched in sweat, and the white hollow pajamas on her body were all wet, because she had been in a coma, which caused her mind to be a little confused at the moment.
The woman's sleep has been from last night to now, because of the influence of the dark shadow, resulting in inability to wake up, nightmares continue until now.
But at this moment, the attention of the dark shadow under the bed seemed to be off her.
After the woman woke up, her consciousness began to gradually recover, she was a little frightened, she didn't know why she had slept for so long, looked at the time on her phone, she quickly got up, took a set of clean clothes and walked to the bathroom.
After a while, the sound of a shower sounded inside.
Under the bed she had slept on just now, a dark shadow squeezed out of the tightly sealed space under the bed.
The black shadow looked like a man's body, but his face was completely blurred, as if shrouded in a thick layer of black mist.
He tilted his head against the wall, listening to the movement in room 708 next door.
After a while, the dark figure turned around and left the position of the large bed, passed the bathroom, and without stopping, squeezed out directly through the crack in the door of the guest room.
In the monitor outside the corridor, even if the black shadow is walking under the surveillance, there is nothing abnormal in the displayed picture, and nothing can be seen.
The dark shadow came to the next room 708 and stood still, just like that, never leaving.
And the woman in room 710 was still a little frightened after taking a shower, she took out the phone and dialed a number to go out, and when the other side was connected, the woman said in a foreign dialect: "Honey, I just came here on a business trip yesterday, and I slept until now from last night!" Am I sick with something? I feel like I've been having nightmares and can't wake up! ”
A man's voice came from over there, apparently her husband, "Really? Why don't you take a leave of absence and come back quickly, and we'll go to the hospital to have a look. ”
The woman shook her head, "Gaoqing's project is something I won with great difficulty, I'll take a look first, my body is really not good." Luckily, I only introduced the project to the client tomorrow, so if it was today, I would have overslept. Well, I'm a little more prepared tonight, and I don't have to sleep again after sleeping so long. ”
The man on the other end of the phone said with some concern: "Then you pay attention to your body, don't be too tired, if you feel uncomfortable, call me immediately." ”
"Okay, dear." The woman smiled.
After hanging up, she dried her hair, then made a phone call to ask the waiter to bring dinner to her room, then pulled 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?" In room 708, Shen Xing asked Fei Fei.
Fei Fei had almost finished licking the lollipop at the moment, and after thinking about it, the strange figure of the old woman she had seen on the street just now suddenly appeared in her mind, especially the strange posture of the old woman who looked at her eyes from behind her.
Fei Fei couldn't help but say: "Just eat in the hotel, this kind of hotel should be delicious." ”
"That's right!" Shen Xing smiled and said: "There is a buffet in the restaurant on the second floor, 218 yuan per person, your price is halved, we will go to the second floor to eat." ”
"Okay." Fei Fei smiled sweetly.
The two cleaned up, Shen Xing opened the door of the guest room, there was nothing outside, and the two immediately drew cards and left.
The dishes in the cafeteria on the second floor are really good, steak, seafood, small hot pot, all kinds of soups, fresh fruits, drinks, etc., this meal Fei Fei is very full.
Because her sense of taste is open, although the taste is not as complex as after the combination of sweet and sour, she can probably taste the taste of each dish whether it is delicious or not.
However, she eats a small amount of food, and she doesn't actually eat much.
After the two of them had eaten, Fei Fei proposed to take a short walk in the garden behind the hotel and digest it.
When they were in the garden, Shen Xing saw a "midnight book bar" on the third floor, and the two went up to the third floor with great interest and found that it was a leisure bar integrating reading and drinking tea.
Immediately, one of them ordered a drink, found his favorite book, and flipped through it.
Shen Xing would ask Fei Fei about her sense of taste from time to time, and Fei Fei could always feel the taste of everything, and it seemed to have stabilized somewhat.
After spending almost half past nine in the evening at the midnight book bar, the two left the third floor and returned to the seventh floor, where the guest room was located.
After entering the room, Shen Xing asked Fei Fei to go to bed early after washing, and get up again tomorrow to see how she recovered.
Immediately, he opened a box of wormwood purchased from Dr. He, took out a small stick, lit one with a lighter, and after Fei Fei finished washing, let her lie on the bed, and used the lit moxa sticks to approach the Tongli point of the transverse muscle of her wrist, and slowly moved the moxa sticks, so that the lit wormwood could smoke the Tongli acupoint.
Shen Xing was very patient, and after smoking for about fifteen minutes, there was still some moxa left that had not been burned, and he could save it for the next time.
The whole room was filled with the incense of wormwood, which also had the effect of helping sleep, Shen Xing couldn't help but yawn, and when he looked at Fei Fei again, this little girl had already fallen asleep.
Shen Xing smiled, covered her with a quilt, closed the window again, and closed the curtains in case the morning light would be too dazzling tomorrow morning.
After going to the bathroom and washing, he returned to his bed, and with the incense of wormwood all over the house, he also fell asleep quickly.
Minutes and seconds passed.
Two o'clock in the morning.
A black shadow squeezed in silently through the crack in the door of the guest room, this black shadow seemed to have already determined its goal, and immediately walked to the bed where Fei Fei was sleeping after entering, ignoring Shen Xing's side.
Because he knows very well that no one can see or perceive him unless he wants to.
The bed on which Fei Fei was lying was exactly the same as the bed of the slender woman next door, only the width was smaller, and the black shadow bowed down and slipped through a black gap under the bed.
About half a minute later, a large amount of black slime appeared, surging towards Fei Fei lying flat on the bed without warning, and soon adhered to all areas of her back, but still did not make any abnormal noise.
After the black shadow felt that everything was ready, he showed a satisfied expression, leaned his back against the bed board, and sucked sharply against Fei Fei's back through the bed board.
Fei Fei's body on the bed trembled unconsciously, and her brows furrowed rapidly, as if she had dreamed of something.
