He sniffed, and the fragrance mixed with disinfectant, herbal preparations and free magic filled his nose, instantly activating the content hidden deep in his memory.
Ah, it's back again.
school clinic.
It's like going home, making people feel so familiar and at ease——
"you're awake?"
A crisp voice rang in his ears, interrupting the complaints in his heart.
Zheng Qing tilted his head and saw a young witch wearing a white robe, holding a noteboard and standing beside the bed looking at him with surprise: "——The therapists just left, I forgot to record your skin
Color, that’s why I came back! I didn’t expect you to wake up! It’s really Merlin’s blessing... Miss Bella was thinking about inserting a urinary catheter into you before... Just wait, don’t worry, I’ll go now
Get Mrs. Bella back... don't worry, I won't insert a urinary catheter into you."
The little nurse was chirping and didn't give the wizard a chance to speak.
Until the ward door slammed shut, Zheng Qing was the only one left in the room, and it became completely quiet.
Then he rubbed his ears and murmured to himself:
"—I just wanted to ask what time it is now."
…
…
"It's half past eleven at night."
The therapist with a horse-like face skillfully examined Zheng Qing and answered the boy's doubts smoothly: "——On May 13th, theoretically, Quanke's visit to Wei City has not ended yet... Do you feel anything?
uncomfortable?"
"Theoretically?"
Zheng Qing stretched his arms and legs, shook his head, and finally rubbed his ears and muttered: "I don't feel any discomfort. It's just my ears. I mean I can't hear well in my left ear?"
His left ear felt like he was swimming in water. Although there was no gurgling sound when he shook his head, the sound seemed a bit blurry, which was in sharp contrast to his right ear.
The horse-faced therapist shook his head.
"In theory, of course."
He pushed away Zheng Qing's left hand, roughly inserted a brass-like metal rod into the boy's left ear, and complained: "Do you think the fair can continue normally after such a big mess?
?Most of the customers just came here for a bit of fun, and didn’t want to cause any trouble at all... So after the temporary ban was lifted, it only took a short while for the guests in the market to disperse... Your ears have nothing to do with it.
The problem is that a small bug may have entered it, or it may be blocked by earwax."
Zheng Qing felt a little relieved.
Then, he glanced at the horse-faced therapist carefully.
"Were you at the market just now?" He considered his words with a bit of curiosity.
"Don't talk. The ear conch is extremely sensitive to sound. Be careful as it follows the sound and pierces your eardrum!" The therapist warned the boy while placing a fist-sized conch shell on his left ear and reminded:
"——But don't be too nervous. The working rhythm of the ear snail will follow your heart rate. If your heartbeat is too fast, its movements will become a little rough. To understand it in layman's terms, it means that you will feel a tingling sensation when you pick out your ears.
.”
Zheng Qing hissed lightly.
I no longer wanted to listen to the white-robed wizard's chatter.
As soon as the shell was attached to his ear, he felt a wet, slippery, slender thing sticking into his ear, which reminded him of the tongue of a giant anteater exploring ant nests and licking ants.
A feeling of nausea and relief intertwined together, causing his expression to become a little distorted.
Soon, as the wet thing shrank, he clearly 'heard' something being slowly dragged out of his ear canal, and the sound became clearer and clearer.
"how do you feel?"
The therapist took off the conch shell that was fastened to his ear and handed him a clean towel: "Wipe it yourself...you don't have to wipe it. The saliva of the ear conch is very good for protecting the ears."
Zheng Qing was grateful for the benefit and wiped the inside and outside of the auricle very carefully.
"Well... my hearing has recovered." He muttered, turning to look at the white-robed wizard, his eyes wandering between the shell and the empty tray: "——Where is the thing you just took out?"
"I knew it!"
The horse-faced wizard drooped the corners of his mouth - which made his face look longer - picked up the tweezers and knocked on the shell: "Every patient is interested in what is taken out of his body... no matter what
Is that a piece of intestine, a piece of bone, or a piece of earwax? Sooner or later I will have to write a paper related to this mentality!"
The owner in the shell slowly poked his head, revealing an octopus-like front end and a small section of pink and tender snail meat. Just looking at the octopus-like flexible tentacles, Zheng Qing had no doubt that it could remove the ear.
Every corner of the road was thoroughly explored.
But now, there is an oval-shaped object the size of a soybean in the middle of the tentacles.
"What is this?" He stretched his neck and was very surprised - that thing didn't look like earwax!
The horse-faced wizard's expression became a little more serious. He used tweezers to carefully snatch the small oval-shaped thing from the 'Octopus' hand, brought it up to his eyes, and looked at it carefully for a moment.
"——Looks like an insect egg?"
…
…
"——I think this looks like a snake egg!"
Xiao Xiao pushed up his glasses, held the 'soybean' between his two fingers, brought it close to his eyes, looked at it carefully, and finally came to an ambiguous conclusion.
"Zhang Yu said the same thing." Zheng Qing yawned loudly and fell down on his bed.
After checking his body at the school hospital and finding no abnormalities, the two teaching assistants waiting outside the ward simply asked him a few questions and agreed to his idea of returning to the dormitory.
This surprised the boys.
He had thought he would be forced to stay in the ward for at least one night.
"School is also about avoiding trouble."
The fat wizard who was immersed in his desk catching up on press releases raised his head, rubbed his stiff cheeks, and sighed: "If you still stay in the campus hospital tomorrow morning, there is a high probability that you will be blocked by reporters from the Beta Town Post... Although Quan Ke is here.
It’s not a big market, but it’s a well-known and unique trading market in the alliance. This time it was only held for a few hours, and it was forced to close down by the school for a while... Although the shark’s side was obviously not
I dare to say harsh words, but I still have the idea of creating a blockage secretly. Plus there are so many people in the market..."
He shook his head, obviously not optimistic about the direction of subsequent public opinion. Then he glanced at the egg in the doctor's hand: "...Why do you think it is a snake egg?"
Xiao Xiao glanced at Zheng Qing's ear.
"Obviously, it's because there is a snake living in someone's ears and eyes." He adjusted his glasses again, and the reason he gave made Zheng Qing feel speechless.
