CHAPTER 248: CHAPTER 135: DEFYING HEAVEN, THE LUMP IS REALLY ALIVE—IT’S WEARING A YELLOW SHELL!

The electric scooter had already gone a hundred meters.

Lu Lingling planned to brake immediately.

"Okay, okay, Dr. Zhang and the others should also go to eat. Let’s go to the hospital first. We can just talk about it in the live stream later."

It’s already past twelve now.

Let’s go to the hospital for an emergency examination first.

See if it’s a parasitic infection.

Soon.

Zhang Lingchuan and the others from the Integrated Media Center arrived at Boss Lu’s home.

Their home was on the slightly right side of the village.

A bit of a remote place.

Because the cattle were also kept there.

To the left of the house, there was a cattle shed built on a large flat area.

About a dozen cows were being kept.

The scale was similar to that of the previous Boss He.

The only difference was that Boss He built the cattle shed in a valley away from the village, while in Sankeng Village, because it was relatively large with hilly terrain, many cattle sheds were built around the corner of homes.

The time was two o’clock.

A table full of dishes had been swept clean.

The skill of Boss Lu’s wife was indeed good and very thoughtful.

She prepared more than a dozen dishes like white-cut chicken, beer duck, taro pork belly, stir-fried beef, etc.

It’s known that dishes like pork belly take time to cook.

Probably when they called in the morning, she was already told to get busy.

So they weren’t ungrateful either.

There was eating and chatting, also talking with the friends in the live stream, and unknowingly it became two-thirty.

After eating.

An old lady in the village brought a cat.

It’s unknown what happened.

This cat looked as if it had been chopped.

There was a shocking wound on its body.

Seeing it made one’s eyelids twitch.

"Different people, different ways! If it stole your food, wouldn’t it be fine to just chase it away? Why did you have to use a knife?"

The granny in deep purple clothes said while shaking her head.

In the village, though superficially harmonious.

There were also many internal conflicts.

Some people seemed harmless on the outside, but their hearts were malicious.

"Granny Hong, it’s done, just pay fifty bucks."

Zhang Lingchuan treated the wound on the cat, stitched it up, and after a while, the cat finally woke up from anesthesia.

The overall spirit looked much better.

Old Zhang’s price was eighty, but seeing she was an old lady, fifty would suffice. After all, earning was easier for him than for her.

"50 bucks? Oh my God, 50 bucks! Although I’m not Mr. Rich, I absolutely know this costs more than 50 bucks!"

"50 yuan won’t even buy an eyebrow pencil but can buy health for a cat, thumbs up for Dr. Zhang!!"

"Feels like this is just covering costs, including gas money for driving, might even lose money? The charge is really too low."

"Exactly, in a provincial capital, forget fifty, you’d thank them even for five hundred."

"Honestly, fifty bucks is a bargain. My brother-in-law runs a pet hospital, and procedures like this with anesthesia and stitching start at least 500 to 1000. More complex surgeries with broken bones start from 5000, can’t be helped with hiring staff and rent, plus major surgeries aren’t daily, wouldn’t survive on cheap rates."

However, Zhang Lingchuan’s price.

Directly stunned the stream viewers.

"Oh, if only we had such skilled and kind veterinarians here, the stray kitten I wanted to save would’ve been rescued. Its leg was broken, treatment costs at a pet hospital start in the thousands, but funds were limited, so I bought meds from a pharmacy to treat it myself."

"Actually, if it weren’t for Dr. Zhang and this granny, this cat’s fate would surely be doomed, but I’m curious, being from the same village, who could be so cruel!"

"Heh, as someone living in the village, anyone is possible, it’s complicated."

"Indeed, some people smile at you on the surface, but deep down wish you were dead!"

"Actually, it’s not just in the village, the city is the same. It’s mainly a people issue, there are scum everywhere, even universities have their share."

"So fast, it feels like after saving this cat, Dr. Zhang would definitely end the stream."

"Not fast anymore, Dr. Zhang has been streaming for six or seven hours today."

"I think the person above was asking if there’s an update on that Evil Core Transformation aunt’s diagnosis."

Aside from money talks, there was talk about the cat itself.

The live stream had been on for six or seven hours now, and viewers kept increasing.

[Dr. Zhang’s daily live stream viewers: 910,830.]

[Veterinary daily live stream competition single-day popularity rank: NO·5.]

Reached an astonishing 910,000.

But in reality, it wasn’t that much.

After so long, only eighty thousand more viewers had clicked in.

It was likely the intriguing story of Aunt Fu with the Evil Core Transformation keeping viewers engaged.

Wondering if she really had a parasitic infection or not.

"Fu Xiaoxian: Hello everyone, I’m today’s patient, Fu Xiaoxian. Just as Dr. Zhang suspected, I had a mass removed at the hospital, which had ten yellow moving things inside. Whether they are parasites needs pathological examination, but doctors say it’s likely a parasitic infection."

Shortly after.

A message appeared in the live stream.

Instantly causing a huge stir.

Even a call was made to Boss Lu’s place.

Since Lu Lingling also had the surname Lu.

She had relatives from Jiuci Village who happened to know Boss Lu.

"Amazing, Dr. Zhang, who would’ve thought it was indeed parasites."

The call confirmed it had been removed.

Inside were some yellow worms.

Like horsehair worms, but thinner.

Though the hospital said it needed pathological examination, it was very likely the case.

"That’s incredible!!"

"Old Zhang, with the skills of Xiaozhang, you guys will be well off; if I were you, I’d just relax!"

"Exactly, retire at home comfortably, why work so hard? I don’t have a son like that, otherwise, I’d have quit long ago."

Some teased Old Zhang.

"Alright, alright, stop teasing, the kid is just interested, the family still has a lot of debt, bound to a life of labor."

Old Zhang was happy hearing the praise.

But the kid seemed to just love traditional Chinese medicine, hadn’t even gotten certified, so saying it made him a bit guilty.

The kid had to struggle on his own even to marry.

"Dr. Zhang, everyone’s saying you’re heading to the Northeast tomorrow, could you, could you take two hundred yuan and also take a look at me? I don’t know what’s wrong with my stomach, feels like a ghost gripping from behind, painful, and my back feels like there’s a bone spike. Especially at night, it stabs painfully."

The granny who brought in the cat had just paid fifty bucks.

Now, she pulled out a blue small square cloth from her inner pants pocket, unfolded it layer by layer, revealing two crumpled hundred-yuan bills.

At the same time, she handed the money to Zhang Lingchuan’s hand.

Her pair of old eyes lit up.

She hoped for his help in diagnosing her condition.

Suddenly, both those present and the villagers and viewers in the live stream turned their attention to Zhang Lingchuan.
