[Chapter 356 Please Show Your Spirit]
When the doctor came to check on him, Huo Jingze asked about Lin Yuan's physical condition. The doctor said that the illness was mainly caused by emotions, and that he would get better slowly if his family members were by his side.
Huo Jingze finally felt relieved.
After a while, the little one fell asleep in his arms, and he gently put her back on the bed and covered her with the quilt.
Then he walked out, and seeing this, Zhou Qinglan and Guan Xiaoxiao followed him out.
In a quiet corner of the corridor.
Guan Xiaoxiao asked anxiously: "Brother Huo, do you know where Lin Yin is?"
Huo Jingze shook his head, his voice hoarse and low, "The order in Haicheng has gradually been restored. On the way here, I have already instructed He Kai to send people to Haicheng to continue searching."
Guan Xiaoxiao's eyes immediately turned red, and tears rolled down her cheeks. "Lin Yin...I hope she's okay."
Floods are merciless, and nine out of ten people who are washed away by them...will die.
Unless she was lucky enough to be rescued, but if she was rescued, Lin Yin would not fail to inform Huo Jingze.
The chances of her surviving are low.
Huo Jingze leaned his back against the cold wall and closed his tired eyes.
He pursed his thin lips, said nothing, and there was no expression on his face.
But the pain in my heart is no less than anyone else's.
Zhou Qinglan looked at him with worry in her eyes and opened her mouth to comfort him.
However, in the face of life and death, words are so pale.
He sighed and patted Huo Jingze on the shoulder. "Go home and have a good rest first. Don't exhaust yourself. Yuanyuan still needs you. If Lin Yin comes back and sees that Yuanyuan is sick, she will definitely feel bad."
"Yes, I will." Huo Jingze opened his eyes with gratitude in his eyes, "Thank you and Xiaoxiao for helping me take care of Yuanyuan. I will thank you another day."
Zhou Qinglan said, "We are brothers, and this is what we should do. Go back and have a rest. Xiaoxiao and I will take care of Yuanyuan here, so nothing will happen."
"good."
Huo Jingze Huo Jingze left the hospital with heavy steps.
He hadn't rested for a long time, so he fell asleep as soon as he got home.
After a day and a night, he woke up, ate some simple food and went to the hospital.
Lin Ze and Hua Yurou both came and were playing games with Lin Yuan.
Seeing him coming, Lin Ze stood up, frowning slightly, his eyes full of worry: "Jingze, you are finally here. You have to take good care of yourself. If Lin Yin were here, she would be so distressed."
Huo Jingze tried to conceal the news of Lin Yin's disappearance, but he couldn't hide it in the end, as everyone in the Lin family knew about it.
Lin Ze was worried in his heart, but when he saw the bloodshot in Huo Jingze's eyes, he couldn't bear to ask too much.
Huo Jingze nodded slightly, looked at his daughter who was still pale, felt a sharp pain in his heart, and asked softly: "How is Yuanyuan now?"
Hua Yurou said gently: "Yuanyuan is in much better condition. With us by her side, she is much happier. Don't worry too much. Xiaoyin is a lucky person and will be safe."
Huo Jingze forced a smile: "I hope so."
He walked to Lin Yuan, held her in his arms, and kissed her forehead, "Yuanyuan, did you eat well today?"
Lin Yuan raised his big grape-like eyes and nodded obediently, "Dad, Yuanyuan has eaten well. When mom comes home, Yuanyuan will definitely be well."
"Well, our Yuanyuan is so well behaved." Huo Jingze looked at the similar eyebrows and eyes of Lin Yuan and Lin Yin, and his heart ached again.
He gently pinched his daughter's little face and said softly, "Mom will be back soon."
The firm tone seemed to be spoken to Lin Yuan, but also seemed to be spoken to himself.
Lin Yin will be fine.
She survived such a dangerous place as Loli Island, so how could the flood take her away?
She is also a doctor who has cured so many patients. She has done great deeds and should live a long life. God will not be so unfair.
Huo Jingze stayed in the hospital with Lin Yuan for a few more hours. Looking at his daughter's smiling face, his heart was still heavy.
He walked out of the ward and stood in the corridor, trying to relax his tense nerves.
"Buddha, Guanyin, Jade Emperor, Taishang Laojun... Oh God, please protect my child and let him pass the critical period safely. I am willing to exchange my life for my child's life, please!"
A crying voice came from not far away.
Huo Jingze looked over and saw a thin middle-aged woman kneeling on the ground with her hands clasped together, muttering something, her face full of tears, looking desperate and helpless.
Such scenes often happen in hospitals.
When one feels despair, one can only place hope on the gods and Buddhas, praying for their mercy and blessings.
Huo Jingze never believed in these things, as he was educated in materialism.
But seeing the woman kowtowing and begging, his heart moved and he lowered his eyes as if thinking about something.
After a while, he called He Kai and said, "Prepare for me a list of all the Taoist temples and Buddhist temples in the imperial capital, including their addresses."
There is a Taoist temple built on the top of a mountain in the imperial capital. There are three thousand steps from the foot of the mountain to the top. It is said that as long as believers can knock on the steps one by one until they reach the end of the three thousand steps, no matter what wish they make, the gods will make it come true.
The sky was getting light, and the forest seemed to be shrouded in a veil. It was so quiet that only the occasional bird song could be heard.
The mist swirled among the trees, bringing a hint of coolness.
He Kai looked at the tall figure of the man and said worriedly, "Boss Huo, your body has not fully recovered yet. This is three thousand steps..."
Huo Jingze did not look back, but looked firmly at the steps leading to the top of the mountain. "As long as she is safe, I am willing to try any method."
He just wants Lin Yin to come back.
He Kai knew that he couldn't persuade him and sighed deeply.
Huo Jingze stepped onto the first step, and his knees slammed down heavily, making a dull sound.
With his hands on the ground, he kowtowed devoutly.
Knock with every step.
I felt a piercing pain in my knees, and soon my forehead became red and swollen, and sweat mixed with morning dew slid down my cheeks.
He seemed unaware of it, and with a determined look he raised his knee and knocked again.
He Kai's eyes welled up as he watched from behind.
Huo Jingze's figure moved slowly in the fog, step by step, towards the top of the mountain.
His clothes were soaked with sweat and his breathing became rapid, but there was no hesitation in his movements.
The surrounding mist seemed to be touched by his piety and lingered around him, as if adding a mysterious power to his prayers.
As the number of steps increased, his strength gradually ran out and his body became shaky.
But when he thought of Lin Yin, he gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally reached the top of the mountain.
At this moment, he looked in a miserable state but had an awe-inspiring tenacity.
He used all his strength to complete the kowtows on the last few steps.
When he reached the top of the mountain and looked at the Taoist temple in front of him, a glimmer of hope finally lit up in his eyes.
He dragged his tired body into the Taoist temple and knelt before the compassionate-looking statue.
"I have never believed in you in my life. I beg you to protect my Lin Yin, please save her. As long as you are willing to let her come back to me, I am willing to be a vegetarian for life, do good deeds every day, and donate all my wealth... I beg you, I beg you, as long as she is alive and well, I am willing to sacrifice all my life to you."
He clasped his hands together, looked at the statue with red eyes, and his voice was weak and broken, but extremely pious.
After praying, he kowtowed heavily to the statue.
“Please show your spirit…”
