Chapter 284: On-site Illness, a Sad Story; Daily Task: Choose One of Four! [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

"Are you really sick in the head?!"

“I told you, that kid’s appearance wasn’t an act at all. If it were, how could he have kept his act a secret for so long?”

The villagers of Shishangzhai who had witnessed Jia Xiaoma's convulsions were talking about it.

If you say the other person is faking it, even celebrities don't have this kind of acting skills.

"Ah! Mom—"

Suddenly, at this very moment.

Just moments ago, Jia Xiaoma had been calm, but now his hands, which had been covering his head, suddenly opened wide, his fingers taut like eagle claws as he rolled on the ground.

He looked extremely pained.

At the same time, the body was also experiencing severe spasms.

Puffing and puffing.

"son!!"

"Son! Son!!"

The sudden appearance of this scene on camera made the couple so nervous that they immediately moved closer to Xiao Ma.

They also held each other tightly.

“*￥%￥#…”

However, the other person's convulsions did not stop, and the person still looked extremely painful, with their face contorted in agony.

And he was muttering something that was impossible to understand.

"He's possessed!!"

"Damn it, I'm really possessed!!"

"It's probably the Corpse-Rotting Woman possessing you. You were infected by her when you were drinking water on the mountain. You don't need to go to the hospital; you should go find the Fragrance-Smelling Woman."

“I remember when we were kids, some of us had this happen to us. After school one evening, we were suddenly pulled up the mountain by a force. That classmate was thin but had an unusually strong strength. Several of us couldn’t hold him back. In the end, the adults had to go up the mountain to find him. After he came back, he had a high fever and was convulsing like that. Later, it was the incense lady who helped him.”

There were probably dozens or even hundreds of people who came to join in the fun.

Some of them were elderly people.

They started talking to each other.

Some even recalled things that happened when they were children.

"Third Aunt, this is a new era. Where can you find such demons and monsters now? You agree, right, Caizhi?"

There are still some young people in the village who have received education on eliminating feudal superstition.

He immediately refuted these remarks.

At the same time, he looked at a young woman who was three or four years old and pushing a stroller beside her.

The other party is also a daughter-in-law from Yunshan Village.

He is one of the few young people in the village.

The new bride in the village was the one who refuted the claim.

Since they all married into this area and their husbands work in the county town, they stay at home to take care of the children, so they have a lot in common.

"Third Aunt, First Dan, if there are ghosts, I think it might be the ghost of poverty?"

The girl named Caizhi, who looked severely sleep-deprived, replied half-jokingly.

Because she doesn't really believe in ghosts or monsters.

If there really are ghosts.

I suspect he's a poor guy.

"Oh dear, you're all too young. You have no idea what happened to us when we were young."

Upon hearing this, the old woman retorted irritably.

"What do you mean you don't know? If it didn't happen, it didn't happen. Otherwise, why are there so many strange things happening in your time, but not now? Do you think ghosts know that cameras are too afraid to come out?!"

The new bride from Yunshan Village is named Tian Yidan.

He has a rather outgoing personality and is known for his sharp tongue; everyone in the entire Yunshan Village knows this.

In comparison, the new bride Caizhi is much better.

She has a gentle and kind personality.

They're not that good with words, though; they'll still shout at people when they see them.

"Then tell me, how did this child suddenly become like this? He's covered in maggots and convulsing. What else could it be but being possessed by an evil spirit or a corpse-carrying witch? If hospitals these days are really that amazing, how could they have failed to cure this child's illness for so long? Clearly, they haven't made the right diagnosis. There are some things you can't deny!"

Grandma San remained steadfast in her beliefs.

At the same time, he spoke to Tian Yidan in a lecturing tone.

"Third Aunt, sometimes you older folks don't understand the reasons behind things, and then you start talking about superstitious old women. Didn't this veterinarian Zhang just say that the maggots on the child are fake? It's very likely that he put them there himself at home."

Tian Yidan doesn't tolerate this.

He continued to retaliate.

"Then how about the draw? It can't be that he's faking it, can it?"

Grandma San continued.

“The veterinarian Zhang didn’t say it was fake. He said it’s a real illness, but he hasn’t said what it is yet. But people with epilepsy can also act like this, so maybe it really is epilepsy? Right, Caizhi?”

Tian Yidan then looked at Caizhi beside her.

"Yes, I've seen cases of epilepsy and the like that can cause convulsions. This veterinarian Zhang is an expert, he'll definitely explain the little horse's specific condition. We can just wait and see, this little guy is really pitiful."

Caizhi has one child who is only six months old, and the other is about four years old.

So at this moment, she is in the stage where maternal love is most overflowing, and she really can't bear to see her child rolling on the ground in pain.

However, there is one point she agrees with Yidan on.

That means there are absolutely no ghosts or gods in this world.

This child is simply suffering from a disease that is currently unknown to most people, which is why he is like this.

That idea of ​​being possessed by a corpse-witch is too superstitious.

"Veterinarian Zhang, please take a look at my son! He's suddenly fallen ill again!!"

At this moment, the child's mother, Mo Lihua, held Jia Xiaoma and pleaded with Zhang Lingchuan.

"It looks like epilepsy? Generally, when this condition occurs, the patient's brain nerves discharge abnormally, causing the patient's body to twitch and shake involuntarily, and may also experience symptoms such as body aches and blank stares."

"As expected of a gathering place for top-notch doctors, they described the kid's symptoms in one go, which means he really does have epilepsy!"

"Not necessarily. There are other possibilities, such as essential tremor, poisoning, brain injury, brain tumor, encephalitis, Adams-Stokes syndrome, congenital heart disease, etc., all of which can cause patients to have involuntary twitching, shaking, or even blank stares."

"I'm curious how Veterinarian Zhang will save people."

"If it really is epilepsy, there's basically nothing we can do. We can only move the patient to a safe area, remove any sharp or hard objects around them, loosen their collar and belt, help them breathe, and observe whether the seizures are continuous. If they happen every five minutes, we should take them to the hospital immediately."

As Mo Lihua spoke, the live stream was discussing the patient's condition.

Epilepsy is considered to be a very likely cause.

At the same time, everyone is wondering what Dr. Zhang will do next.

"No need to pinch his philtrum. If you're really worried, just help him unbutton his shirt, just make sure it doesn't choke him."

Seeing the couple pinching each other's philtrum and pressing down on each other, Zhang Lingchuan slowly spoke from the side.

"Huh? Oh oh oh!!"

The couple quickly unzipped their son's coat.

After all, she was wearing a down jacket.

"Hmm, that's strange, why does Veterinarian Zhang seem so calm?"

In the live stream, everyone was puzzled by Zhang Lingchuan's performance.

Song Wanqing, who was monitoring the data, felt the same way as netizens; she thought Teacher Zhang was very calm.

They seemed completely unconcerned.

In contrast, the expressions on the faces of the others varied.

Some people even looked at Teacher Zhang with disdain.

It's as if it's saying that such a young guy doesn't even know how to deal with this kind of disease.

Pinching the philtrum is the most effective method, yet he actually said there's no need to pinch it.

that's it.

The onset of the illness lasted for about one or two minutes.

The child's overall condition suddenly improved a lot, but because of the illness, he was still very weak and his face was full of pain.

"mom……"

He looked at his mother listlessly.

"son--"

Mo Lihua hugged her son tightly, her eyes filled with tears.

"Veterinarian Zhang, what you just said about my son's convulsions is a real illness. What kind of illness is it? Is it epilepsy?"

Seeing that his son's condition had stabilized somewhat, Jia Hongzhou immediately asked him about it.

Many people were watching him.

I want to know about Xiao Ma's condition.

After all, the township head had said before that the other party had not made any mistakes in the diagnosis so far.

"Although he experienced brief loss of consciousness, abnormalities in movement, sensation, and behavior, and may have generalized convulsions, upward rolling of the eyes during an attack, and even a rapid recovery after the attack, followed by a period of confusion, everything is very similar to epilepsy. Some viewers in the live stream may even think it is epilepsy, but I want to say that this is not epilepsy."

Zhang Lingchuan shook his head.

"Not epilepsy?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

"What the heck? If it's not epilepsy, then what is it??"

The upheaval in the live stream was even greater.

After all, the highest number of viewers for a live stream has now reached over six million.

Many of them are doctors with verified (V) certifications.

"Dr. Qin from the Epilepsy Specialist Hospital: As a doctor specializing in epilepsy, I know that this situation may not necessarily occur in epilepsy patients. However, judging from the video, it is about 80% similar to the onset of epilepsy. So I am curious about what kind of judgment Dr. Zhang has that makes him so confident."

At this moment, a doctor from an epilepsy specialist hospital also shared his opinion.

"Do you think Veterinarian Zhang's house might collapse today?"

"I don't think it's possible. Last time they got the ten-meter-long tapeworm right, so I feel like the accuracy rate for this answer should be very high as well."

Everyone was waiting for Zhang Lingchuan's answer.

It's unclear whether it was a building collapse or something else entirely.

"Yes, and strictly speaking, the child is not sick."

Zhang Lingchuan knew that this answer might be something that no one else wanted to hear.

But this is his current diagnosis.

"No illness!!"

The moment the words 'I'm not sick' were uttered.

The scene and the live broadcast room were in an uproar.

"?"

"Zhang the veterinarian, are you sure you're not joking around?"

"She doesn't look healthy at all!!"

"...Isn't this just ridiculous? You weren't sick just now!"

"What Zhang the veterinarian? He's a quack! Was the township head just bragging?"

There are many voices online, but they are mostly amplified in online live streaming rooms, so the actual impact on the scene is not significant.

At least it didn't reach the ears of Director Rong, Township Head Fan, and Party Secretary Jia.

However, many onlookers still expressed their dissatisfaction.

These words reached the ears of Mayor Fan and his colleagues, immediately making Fan Zhichang's face turn somewhat ugly.

He carefully recalled that he hadn't made any mistakes since the first time he met the other person; otherwise, he would have really suspected that the other person was deliberately messing with him.

"Veterinarian Zhang, the little horse is like this, it can't be that it's not healthy!"

Township Head Fan asked cautiously.

"Yes, Dr. Zhang, my son just had a seizure on the ground and his eyes rolled back. Even if the maggots were fake, you yourself said the seizures were a sign of illness, so how can he not be sick?!"

Jia Hongzhou was even more excited.

If it weren't for the fact that it was this same veterinarian, Zhang, who discovered the baby girl's body was full of needles, he really wouldn't want to listen to such nonsense.

"I'm saying that strictly speaking, the child is not sick, but he is now moving in the direction of becoming sick, and the direction he is moving in is hysteria."

Zhang Lingchuan stated his judgment.

Patient Name: Jia Xiaoma.

[Patient's gender: Male.]

[Patient's age: 9 years old.]

[Patient's condition: Long-term anxiety and malnutrition have caused pityriasis alba, specifically manifested as white patches on the scalp with slight scaling. The patient also experiences alternating periods of depression and excitement, resembling hysteria.]

[Patient Diagnosis: Pityriasis alba, mild mental illness.]

[System notification: This patient is a 9-year-old child who has been left behind by his parents for a long time and lacks parental love. After falling ill, he received excessive love from his parents, leading him to want to keep them by his side indefinitely. Over time, this has resulted in a psychological disorder characterized by delusions of illness. Therefore, this is marked with a yellow tag. The host is requested to persuade the child's parents to show more love and care for the child and to try to guide him out of the realm of suspected hysteria.]

This is the result of his scan.

The child is relatively healthy.

She just has a little malnutrition, and long-term anxiety has led to pityriasis alba and a mild mental illness.

It must be said that the system's accurate scanning can sometimes provide some pleasant surprises.

They even listed out the causes and consequences of the child's past.

So this child actually developed this strange illness because he didn't receive love from his parents before, but after receiving love from them after an illness, he wanted to keep them by his side for a long time. Over time, he began to fantasize about having this strange illness.

Therefore, the other person's epileptic-like convulsions were not faked.

He believed he had this illness because he was extremely lacking in parental love.

"Hysteria?"

Jia Hongzhou was stunned for a moment.

What is hysteria?

The child's mother also looked a little stunned.

"Yidan, Caizhi, you two are both educated, what kind of illness does this doctor say this is?"

The village elders also started asking Tian Yidan and Caizhi questions.

One of them went to a vocational high school and the other to a junior college.

In their time, a vocational school diploma was basically equivalent to the level of a primary school teacher.

With a junior college degree, one can even become a middle or high school teacher.

They definitely belong to the ranks of cultured people.

They had never even heard of hysteria.

"I'm not that well-educated, I'm just a factory girl who graduated from a vocational school. Caizhi, do you even know what hysteria is?"

Tian Yidan is also very direct in her speech.

If I don't know, I don't know; I won't pretend.

"It seems like a mental illness, right? It's something that's just being imagined in one's mind, that's probably it."

The girl named Caizhi was speaking.

She didn't know what hysteria was before.

Before I got pregnant, I read a novel whose protagonist suffered from hysteria. He would fantasize about this and that all day long, and he believed that what he was fantasizing about was real.

She thought the term was quite novel, so she searched it up.

I never expected to encounter such a disease in real life today, and it's even from her husband's village, it's just outrageous.

"That means the child has a mental illness!!"

The villagers trembled.

"Veterinarian Zhang, are you saying my son has a mental illness?!"

After Zhang Lingchuan gave a brief explanation, Jia Hongzhou and his wife asked incredulously.

"Yes, it's spreading in that direction now."

Zhang Lingchuan nodded.

"Why?! My grandson is perfectly fine, I take good care of him, how could he suddenly develop a mental illness? And would a mentally ill person have such seizures? Don't people say that mental illness is just talking nonsense and acting crazy?"

Jia Xiaoma's grandmother, He Meixiang, was extremely unwilling to believe it.

The child's parents felt the same way; they also believed from the bottom of their hearts that Dr. Zhang was talking nonsense.

Their child is so healthy, responds to everything they say, but when he has an episode he talks nonsense, how can this be a mental illness called hysteria!
Isn't that just nonsense?!
"It's actually a bit complicated, but according to my diagnosis, the child does have hysteria. Fortunately, the child's hysteria is relatively mild. The reason is that the child lacks care."

Zhang Lingchuan spoke calmly and patiently.

"Lack of care?"

After those four words were uttered, Jia Xiaoma's parents and grandmother were stunned once again.

"Yes, did you go out to work when your child was very young?"

Zhang Lingchuan asked.

"There's nothing we can do. Our child has been raised by his grandmother since he was little. We have to go out to work to support our family. Is this why our child has developed a mental illness? But so many people around here are like this!"

The couple nodded when this was mentioned.

There's nothing we can do about it in the mountains.

After all, it's not easy to make a living here.

So this is what causes mental illness?

But many of the children here are also left-behind children.

The parents went out to work, and the child stayed at home with his/her grandparents.

“Everyone is different, and we can’t generalize. As for the fact that you went out to work when you were young, that’s one of the factors that caused Xiao Ma to develop hysteria. He lacked parental love from a young age, and a sudden illness during the Spring Festival caused you to stay even though you were supposed to leave to work. So the child wants you to stay by his side, and over time he has developed this kind of illness. As for the maggots, he put them on himself. So you could go to the city or province to find a psychologist to take a look.”

Zhang Lingchuan shared the scan results he had obtained from the system.

Furthermore, an analysis was conducted.

"This……"

These remarks silenced everyone present.

As for the township head and Director Rong of the Culture and Tourism Bureau, they felt inexplicably uneasy.

If their local industries were more developed and could provide more jobs, how could the child have developed hysteria from missing his parents?

"I originally thought it was a rare disease, but I never expected it to be such a heartbreaking story."

"Sigh... I remember when I was a child, I was also a left-behind child. Every time my parents went out, they would be bullied by others, who said that they were children without parents. Especially some children in the same village, the adults would basically not say anything, and would think it was just a normal fight."

"Poor little horse."

"As a psychologist, Dr. Zhang's conclusion is entirely valid. I just didn't expect him to delve into my area of ​​expertise. It's quite unbelievable."

"It exists, but it's not entirely true. You'd have to see a psychologist to know for sure."

"I've made up my mind. I will keep an eye on this kid and see if he has hysteria."

……

Studio.

Many bigwigs are eagerly awaiting the results from Zhang Lingchuan.

Who would have thought it would turn out to be a mental illness?

The kid is a pitiful person too.

He suffered countless grievances behind the scenes.

“Zhang the veterinarian, shall we take him to see a psychologist? Or should we set off now, A-Zhou? It’s only two o’clock anyway.”

Mo Lihua looked at her husband.

"Ah."

Jia Hongzhou nodded.

"Veterinarian Zhang, we'll be going now."

The two men got on their motorcycle and drove Xiao Ma towards the station.

"Go ahead, drive slowly and be careful."

Zhang Lingchuan waved to them.

"In fact, the issue of left-behind children in rural areas has always been a big problem. Many children develop unhealthy mental health because their parents are not around for a long time and they do not receive care. Of course, many children are very strong, but some develop psychological problems, and some even develop hysteria like Xiao Ma."

Zhang Lingchuan began speaking in front of the camera.

"One more left-behind child."

"Veterinarian Zhang spoke our minds."

"Sigh, although I understand my parents, we were truly alone back then, like children no one wanted."

"I got caught in the rain back then, so now no matter how hard or tiring it is, I'll keep my child with me."

……

The live stream chat was flooded with comments.

"Ultimately, we also have some issues. The township government is working hard to attract industries and help everyone find employment near their homes. And Zhang the veterinarian, since we've already had lunch at Zongzhai, why don't we stick to our plan and head to the next stop?"

Township Head Fan sighed with deep remorse.

Their plan for today is to visit two villages in Yunshan Village.

Zongzhai was just the first stop.

"Mayor Fan, I think I might not be able to leave yet."

Zhang Lingchuan looked into the crowd.

There was a mother holding a swaddled baby.

"Babies, that's why no matter how hard or tiring it is, Mommy wants to keep you by her side, because Mommy also went through a lot of rain, just like this older brother."

She was murmuring softly.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

[Ding! The host has detected a red tag, activating a daily task. Please proactively examine the patient and provide corresponding advice and assistance. Upon completion of the task, the host will receive one of the following rewards: 1 Ordinary Treasure Chest, +1000 Medical Points, 1 Allergy Test Card, or 1 Skill Advancement Book.]

Yes.

The mother who was whispering to her child had a red tag hanging above her head.
