650 Cave God (1/2)

Most of the people back at the waiting hall outside the operating theater of Beijing University Sixth Hospital had gloomy expressions while they waited. The sight of anxious people pacing around could be seen everywhere. There was also the annoying sound of people speaking loudly into phones, but what stood out the most were worshippers of the amethyst geode.

The amethyst geode was as tall as the height of the knee of an average adult. It gleamed with a faint light under the illumination of energy-saving lights. One could feel as if they were looking at the universe if they stood closer to have a look at it.

Right before the amethyst geode was a stool. There was a bunch of electronic candles with steady light located right in the middle of the stool. And there was also a great deal of tributes beside it. A box of cigarettes, a box of cigarettes that had some cigarettes left in it, bottles of drinks, bottles of drinks which were not finished, a box of condoms left behind by an annoyed husband because his wife had decided to receive induced labor, and it had no after story for the moment just yet…

The Du family sat on the long bench behind the amethyst geode. They did not know what kind of expression they should put on their faces as they faced all this.

Academician Du remained in the operating theater. That was most worrisome. When they had such a matter ahead of them, it was as if everything else had been forgotten.

So, when Boss Du Zecai said that he wanted to pray to the amethyst geode, everyone followed and prayed to it.

So, when there were people who wanted to kneel down and pray at it after they were done praying to the amethyst geode, they did not stop them as well.

So, when more and more people came forth to pray to the amethyst geode, it was too late to stop the inertia.

The people who stood around and worshipped the amethyst geode in the waiting hall for families while they waited for the patients as they received their surgery had the emotions as those of the Du family. Regardless of which perspective they took when they regarded this, the Du family, who were intellectuals and who also occupied two rows, who had no idea how to take care of the amethyst geode and the people in front of it.

If they took it away, they would definitely cause conflicts.

Leave it be. More and more people began to come to pray to the amethyst geode, making the Du family feel a little lost about what they should do once again.

*Thud*

A lady with a green scarf around her neck finally knelt down on her knees in front of the amethyst geode.

The Du family were exhausted and quiet as they looked at her.

Speaking of which, when they began praying to the amethyst geode, Boss Du Zecai was still sitting on the small bench. As for the family members who prayed after him, some of them crouched down, some sat, and some even bowed before they left.

Now, the lady who knelt on her knees had finally brought this act of praying to an entirely new level.

*Thud thud thud*

The lady kowtowed three times in succession. Soon after that, she seemed to want to light up a joss stick. She looked left and right, and she pulled out a cigarette from the opened cigarette box.

The chubby grandchild of the Du family looked at his father before he said with a drawl, ”You can't light up cigarettes here, you know?”

Obviously, the lady was not the first to do that.

The lady was stunned for a moment, but she did not refute at all. She just pressed her hands together, prayed, prostrated herself on the ground again and kowtowed three times.

After that, she straightened herself up with her knees on the ground and pressed her hands together once again.

At that time, the little child's playful laughter was heard echoing from the front. ”You can't light up cigarettes here, you know?”

The lady's face stiffened up as well. Then, she saw two children hiding behind the curtain behind the amethyst geode.

The boys were seven to eight years old, and they were giggling with pouted lips. They boost each other's courage as they pointed at the lady while they continued to giggle.

The lady was stunned for a few seconds. These two kids… did they just receive all six of her kowtows?

When the lady thought of this, she instantly stood up, charged forward like an arrow, and caught one of the children. She then began spanking him on the butt.

These foolish children had escaped their parents' ferocious palms, avoided the violent attacks from the other child-bullies, hid from the treacherous needle from the intern nurses, but they had never thought that they would fall into their current predicament. The two children were stunned the moment when the palm landed against one of the children's butt.

When the first loud cry that came a little late was heard echoing in the area, the lady had already changed her target to the other child and began spanking him.

In an instant, the parents of the children rushed over. All four parents looked ready to confront the lady, and when the mediators also joined in the mix by standing in the middle, they looked as if they were about to start fighting.

*Squeak.*

The door to the corridor of the operating theater opened to the left and right.

A group of doctors walked into the vicinity together.

The patients' families in the waiting room stood back up on their feet and automatically revealed looks of concern.

The doctors also looked at the patients' family members who were about to start fighting, and they also gave them the expression that they were used to seeing this.
