In the waiting hall outside the operating theater of Beijing University Sixth Hospital, most of the people were waiting gloomily, the common ones were restless people who wandered around, and the annoying ones were those who called loudly. But the strangest thing was definitely the people who worshiped the amethyst cave.
The amethyst cave was at the height of an adult's knee. Under the illumination of the hospital's energy-saving lamps, it emitted a faint light. If one stood a little further, it was as if they could see the universe.
A small stool was placed in front of the amethyst cave. In the middle of the stool was a bright and stable electronic pull. Next to it, there were already tributes. There were boxes of cigarettes, opened boxes of cigarettes that were not finished, bottled drinks, and opened bottles of drinks that were not finished. There was also a box of condoms placed by a frustrated husband whose wife underwent induced labor. There was no follow-up for the time being …
The Du family sat on the long bench behind the amethyst cave. They did not know what expression they should use to face all of this.
Academician Du was still in the operating theater. This was the most worrying thing. With this matter in front of them, it seemed that everything else had become less important.
So, when the eldest, Du Zecai, said that he wanted to worship the amethyst cave, everyone also worshiped it.
So, when someone wanted to worship the amethyst cave after they finished worshiping it, no one stopped them.
So, when more people began to worship the amethyst cave, no one knew how to stop them.
The people who worshiped the amethyst cave in the waiting hall for surgeries naturally felt the same as the Du family. No matter which angle they looked at it from, the two rows of intellectuals in the Du family did not know how to deal with the amethyst cave and the people in front of it.
If they removed it, there would definitely be a conflict.
If they left it, more and more people began to worship it, and the Du family was at a loss.
* Thud. *
A middle-aged woman wearing a vegetable scarf finally knelt in front of the amethyst cave.
The Du family looked at her in exhaustion and silence.
When they started worshiping the amethyst cave, the eldest, Du Zecai, was still sitting on the small bench. Some of the people who worshiped the amethyst cave were squatting, some were sitting, and some even bowed before they left.
Now, the middle-aged woman who knelt down finally raised this behavior to a whole new level.
* Thud, thud, thud. *
The middle-aged woman kowtowed three times and looked as if she was about to light a stick of incense. She looked around and took out a cigarette from the opened cigarette case.
The chubby grandson of the Du family looked at his father helplessly and said lazily, "You can't light a cigarette."
Obviously, the auntie was not the first to do so.
The auntie was stunned, but she didn't argue. She clasped her palms together and bowed. Then, she knelt down and kowtowed three times.
When he straightened his knees, he put his palms together again.
At this moment, a child's laughter came from the front. "You can't light up a cigarette."
The middle-aged woman's expression also froze. She saw two children hiding behind the curtains behind the crystal cave.
The seven or eight-year-old boys puckered their lips and giggled foolishly. They bolstered their courage and pointed at the auntie while making "gaga gaga" sounds.
The auntie was stunned for a few seconds. Did these two kids just take six hits from her?
When the middle-aged woman thought of this, she stood up abruptly and rushed forward. She grabbed one of the children and slapped him on the buttocks.
The silly children escaped the vicious palm of their parents and the vicious mouth of Fragrance Yard, but they did not expect to fall here. When the slap landed on their buttocks, the two children were even stunned.
When the crying sound was delayed, the auntie had already started to hit the second child.
In the blink of an eye, the child's parents rushed over. Both sides were ready to fight, and with the mediator in the middle, it looked like they were about to fight.
* Creak. *
The door of the corridor of the operating theater was wide open.
A group of doctors walked out together.
The patient's family members in the waiting room all stood still and gave them concerned gazes.
The doctors also looked at the patient's family members who were pushing and shoving each other, and they gave them gazes that they were used to.
"Doctor Ling …" Du Zecai raised his head and saw Ling Ran. He could no longer care about anything else. He quickly pushed away the people beside him and squeezed his way forward.
"The surgery was very successful. Your father's body is a little weak. He will be temporarily sent to the ICU for two or three days. If there are no other problems, he can be discharged soon." Ling Ran listened to Xu Wen and Zuo Cidian's opinion and decided to come out and explain.
* Sob … *
Du Zecai's younger sister, Academician Du's daughter, was the first to cry.
Then, all the Du family members became emotional.
Ling Ran frowned as he looked at the scene in front of him and said, "The surgery was very successful. This is a good thing …"
"I know …" Du Zecai's eyes were filled with tears, and he nodded vigorously at Ling Ran. "It's a good thing. This is a good thing. Thank you, Doctor Ling!"
Du Zecai grabbed Ling Ran's hand with his rough hands, which were used to being in the wild all year round. He shook Ling Ran's hand desperately.
His fingers were rough, and it made Ling Ran very uncomfortable.
Ling Ran shook his head. When Du Zecai let go of his hand, he immediately squeezed out a bottle of alcohol-based hand sanitizer and carefully applied it evenly.
Du Zecai's expression was a little unpleasant, and he did not know whether he should apologize or not.
Zhu Tongyi, who stood behind Ling Ran, smiled and said gently, "Zecai, call your family and your mother so that they won't be waiting anxiously. Your father is in the ICU, and it's not convenient for your family members to go in. There's no need for them to go in either. Just take a look outside. It won't be too late to arrange for them to take care of him after he comes out in two days. "
Du Zecai seemed to have woken up. His mother's health was not very good, and his family hid it from her. They did not tell her about his father's condition, and it was even more impossible for them to bring her to the hospital. However, there were many relatives coming and going in the family. At his mother's age, most of them could guess something. It was better to inform his relatives earlier.
Xu Wen also quickly said, "Your father's blood vessels are very fragile. If Doctor Ling did not perform the surgery today, he might have died. It's very dangerous, but very lucky. "
Zuo Cidian did not have his turn to enter the operating theater, but when he came out, he went to Ling Ran's side and also quickly said, "Academician Du's luck can be said to be very good. If he insisted on not performing surgery, his blood vessels would have ruptured in one or two months at most. Doctor Ling discovered it in time and patched it up."
"Thank you, thank you." Du Zecai was so dizzy that he did not know what to say.
The middle-aged woman who was kowtowing just now was in front of them. At this time, when she heard their conversation, she suddenly struggled, ran over, and asked, "How did you do it?"
The Du family looked helpless. "We just did it casually."
"Is it really useful? Right? Really useful? " As the woman spoke, she shook off the children's parents who wanted to pester her. With a thud, she knelt in front of the amethyst cave again.
Looking at the dark purple amethyst cave, the woman seemed to think for a few seconds. Then, she closed her eyes, put her palms together, and said loudly, "Lord Toby, please bless my husband. My husband Li Gang is only in his forties this year. Can you leave him to me? I'm a woman from the countryside. I didn't even finish junior high school before I started working in the fields. Later, I worked with my husband, and the money I saved was used to build a house. I don't have much left. I'm now taking care of three children and two elderly people. None of them are in good health. I really can't take it anymore. Lord Toby, if my husband leaves, our family will be gone. Lord Toby, Lord Toby, please leave him, leave him. "
* Thud, thud, thud. *
The woman kowtowed three times again, and her forehead was bruised.
The children's parents who wanted to reach out to pull her up saw this and no longer had the mood to ask for an explanation.
When the Du family saw this, they felt even more distressed. Their spirits, which had suddenly relaxed, were filled with all kinds of strange emotions again.
At this moment, Du Zecai smelled the citrus smell of alcohol-based hand sanitizer, and he suddenly felt that it smelled so good.
The doctors expressed their attitude and emotions to the Du family. Once again, they formed a sharp arrow and quickly left the scene like a cavalry.
When they reached the corridor, Ling Ran turned around and asked, "The patient's family member just now, what disease does her husband have?"
The doctors from Beijing University Sixth Hospital had already asked, and someone whispered, "Late-stage gallbladder cancer with liver metastasis."
Ling Ran hummed in acknowledgment and did not say anything else. He had Specialist Level Cholecystectomy, but it was of no help when it came to gallbladder cancer surgery.
Feng Zhixiang looked at him and suddenly said, "If it's gallbladder cancer, I used to do it often. Since everyone is here, Doctor Ling, let's study it together?"
"Okay." Ling Ran quickly agreed.
Zhu Tongyi wanted to stop him, but he did not have time. He coughed and said, "Then, I'll do it too."
"There's no bone metastasis." Professor Feng Zhixiang looked at Academician Zhu Tongyi with a smile.
"I'm bored." Zhu Tongyi faced Professor Feng Zhixiang and smiled as if he was young when he just reached retirement age.
