Chapter 866: Chapter 333: The Internet Explodes, The Boy with the Red Tag, Slippery Pulse!
"Hmm, is he the taller young man named Ah Yun?"
Zhang Lingchuan asked Village Chief Ah Shan.
He didn’t expect Village Chief Ah Shan to be able to call out the child’s name, remembering that during dinner he mentioned he had been transferred here for less than a month.
This seemed to be a randomly selected village.
Indeed, he’s the man who rose from village secretary to village chief, driving hometown poverty alleviation.
"Yes, his name is Ah Shuo Ah Yun. Ah Yun, come over here."
Ah Shan called out to Ah Yun, even personally going over to guide him to come.
Because he felt that since President Zhang summoned Ah Yun, there must be something important to discuss.
Even his belly might not know.
It’s noticeable by ordinary people, how could Ah Shan not notice that belly.
At this moment, Zhang Lingchuan also carefully examined this teenager, who wore a large dirt-yellow coat printed with a big black dog, a green sweater inside, and a pair of weathered pants below.
He was covered in grime.
His hair looked like it hadn’t been washed for days, matted.
He walked a bit slowly.
His expression carried a hint of fear.
No trace remained of his initial composure while watching the fuss from the sidelines.
He himself came from a poverty-stricken area.
Hence, he’s familiar with this timid state.
It’s actually the lack of confidence brought by family poverty.
"President Zhang, this is the special poor household of our Ahala Village. The child is rather shy. Are you seeing him to diagnose him? Speaking of which, this kid does have a minor ailment; this belly is quite noticeable, seems to have always been like this since birth, unclear what the issue is."
Ah Shan felt this was an opportunity.
Dr. Zhang is so skilled in diagnosis.
Might as well let him see what this big belly ailment is.
Then based on his suggestions, go to the hospital for treatment.
This way, many detours could be avoided.
"Ah Shan, does... does Dr. Zhang also treat humans?"
Uncle Jiri’s expression turned surprised upon hearing Ah Shan’s words.
"Hahaha, a veterinarian actually seeing Big Belly Yun?!"
"Oh no, oh no, Big Belly Yun is going to be put into the pot for cooking!"
"Maybe there’s something strange in his belly, and since the water’s boiling there, cooking might just make it come out."
...
A few kids watching became interested and started chatting.
Yes, Ah Shuo Ah Yun has a nickname in the village, Big Belly Yun.
His belly was noticeably large as a child, and now grown up, it hasn’t reduced, even growing bigger.
Indeed, many kids lack manners; this is the truth.
If you’re different, others bully you.
Especially like Ah Shuo Ah Yun with a body defect, people ridicule you, and your flaws become jokes and nicknames.
That’s why, despite appearing older, Ah Yun, who should be the leader among kids, can only timidly stand aside trying to fit into the group.
"You mean his belly is congenital?"
Zhang Lingchuan’s expression momentarily froze upon hearing.
"Hey? Seems like Dr. Zhang’s expression relaxed slightly?"
"Indeed, not as tense as before. Not sure why."
The online community continued chatting.
People were keen on analyzing Zhang Lingchuan’s subtle expressions.
Especially some psychology enthusiasts.
Indeed.
Zhang Lingchuan wasn’t as tense as before.
If he was always like this, then the child likely isn’t involved in ethical matters.
Could be a congenital disease causing the abdomen to swell like a balloon.
Chance of abdominal fluid accumulation.
Causes include long-term malnutrition, liver cirrhosis, bacterial peritonitis, among others.
The latter is more serious, requiring active treatment, else it might threaten life.
"Yes, Dr. Zhang not only performs animal surgery but can also diagnose humans. President Zhang, when I visited earlier, I asked around. Ah Yun’s belly has been slightly bigger than most since childhood, more obvious upon adulthood. Because of this, the kid usually feels quite insecure."
Ah Shan directly spoke to Zhang Lingchuan.
Such matters aren’t taboo.
On the contrary, he always felt that seeing President Zhang was an opportunity, a chance for the child to reclaim health and overcome insecurity.
"Alright, let me take a look at this child, Ah Yun."
Zhang Lingchuan nodded.
"Ah Yun, it’s okay, let Dr. Zhang assess. Maybe today we’ll find out why your belly hasn’t gotten smaller."
Ah Shan said to Ah Yun.
"Oh..."
Ah Yun nodded at Ah Shan.
The previous chief hadn’t visited their home even once, but this new chief had been there twice in a short period.
And each time, showing great concern for him and his grandmother.
So he trusted this chief.
"President Zhang, should we roll up this garment?"
Ah Shan naturally referring to the sleeve.
If they needed to roll it up, he would let the child do so for a more thorough examination.
"No need, no need. I can just press the wrist here."
Zhang Lingchuan placed his hand on the other’s wrist.
Currently, he’s quite different from when he feigned pulse taking.
Back then, pulse taking was just a formality.
But now he truly can take pulses.
Thanks to the ECG Finger.
So when he places a hand on the patient’s body, it’s virtually like connecting a heart monitor and ECG machine directly to the patient.
