CHAPTER 239: CHAPTER 132: RED TAG, SAVE THE DOG, SYSTEM CRASH, HOST KILLING THE PATIENT!

As for dislocating the jaw of a big dog like this, it’s actually not that easy to treat.

"Oh, I see. Let me take a look."

Zhang Lingchuan, upon hearing this from the elder, immediately walked over to the big black dog.

[Ding! Host is currently examining, system-assisted scanning is in progress...]

[Precise detection... 4 uses remaining.]

[Ordinary detection... 1 use left for today.]

[Activating precise detection, please wait...]

[Precise detection rejected...]

[Starting ordinary detection, please wait...]

The dog may not be feeling well for some reason.

Even though it’s very large, at the moment it is quite docile.

So, Zhang Lingchuan squatted next to it, and the system scan was automatically activated.

He decided to save precise scanning for later.

First, use ordinary scanning to take a look.

If there are any future causes of death other than dislocated jaw, ordinary scanning can also detect them.

Once the scanning is complete, he will make a specific assessment.

"Dr. Zhang, take a look, this big black dog’s jaw just won’t move, it can’t eat, it’s been hungry for two days now."

Su Zheng Mountain shook the mouth of his big black dog with his hand.

His whole expression was filled with fatigue.

"Oh dear, Su the Third, if it can’t move or eat, just sell it, sixty pounds can fetch quite a sum!"

The villagers nearby, seeing Su Zheng Mountain demonstrate the dog’s inability to eat, immediately started teasing.

They are from Sankeng Village, with Sitian Village below.

Just next door, some of them are of the same age and used to play together when they were kids.

"Not selling, not selling."

It was already handed over to Zhang Lingchuan, and Su Zheng Mountain stood up and shook his head.

"Old Three, if you’re not selling, just slaughter it for dog meat! Sixty pounds can last quite a few meals."

Another voice chimed in.

That was also an elder who looked about the same age as Su Zheng Mountain.

"Not selling, not eating, my little grandson really loves this dog, when he saw it couldn’t eat, he was crying."

Su the Third knew they were teasing.

But right now, he really wasn’t in the mood.

After all, this dog had been with the family for over ten years.

He had raised it from a tiny size to what it is now, so to say there’s no emotional attachment would be untrue.

So if it actually died.

It would most probably be buried.

"I think it’s not just your little grandson who can’t part with it, you can’t either."

Someone continued to tease.

"See what you’re saying, when it was little, it always stuck by Su the Third’s side. It’s hard to raise it to this size, who would be willing to let it go? Selling or eating it is even more impossible."

Someone else spoke up in defense.

"Dr. Zhang? What’s wrong with our dog’s jaw? Can it be saved?"

At this moment, Su the Third ignored the commotion and asked Zhang Lingchuan.

"It looks like a dislocation to me. Is this dog being fed too well, regularly given big bones to chew?"

Zhang Lingchuan conducted his own examination.

And drew his conclusion.

[System scan complete.]

The result from the system scan also came out at this moment.

Just as well, to see if there are any other illnesses apart from the dislocation.

[Patient Name: Unknown.]

[Patient Gender: Male.]

[Illness Type: Jaw Dislocation.]

[Patient Status: Jaw dislocated from eating hard food, condition serious, unable to eat normally, has been without food for over two days, based on comprehensive evaluation, without intervention, remaining lifespan is short.]

[System Tip: The current patient’s jaw dislocation is extremely severe, unable to eat for two days, marked with a red life-threatening tag. If unable to eat normally next, it will endanger life. Please have the host with Perfect-level Osteopathic Technique assist in jaw realignment.]

[Task Reward: Completion grants 200 Reputation Value, Ordinary Treasure Chest *1.]

It seems my veterinary skills are quite solid.

The results from the system scan matched what he thought.

The dog’s jaw is dislocated.

He just didn’t expect this task to take on a new form.

It’s actually requiring him to realign the joint, unlike before when it would require sending it directly to the hospital.

And the reward actually includes an Ordinary Treasure Chest again.

Lately, the probability of Ordinary Treasure Chests appearing is quite high.

"Yes, my little grandson really loves this dog, he runs a small restaurant in the county, always packs bones to bring back for it to eat, even pork knuckle bones, could it really have dislocated its jaw from eating bones?"

Su the Third looked utterly surprised.

"Most likely, let’s try realigning the jaw first."

Zhang Lingchuan nodded.

"Then, Dr. Zhang, how should we treat it now? Should I hold the dog down or should you try to do it secretly?"

Su the Third had just overheard in the crowd that the other had learned bone setting from the Master Imperial Physician.

Before, in Meng Family Village, when he treated dislocation for cows and kids, there was virtually no pain at all.

The idea was to realign the joint in an instant when the patient wasn’t paying attention.

He suspected his dog had a dislocated jaw all along.

Didn’t expect that to be the reality when he came today.

"Using hands on the dog’s jaw probably won’t work."

As Zhang Lingchuan touched the dog’s jaw, he was already mentally simulating.

The likelihood of successful realignment with hands was very low.

Practically impossible.

But there’s one method to achieve recovery in a single strike.

"Huh? Then what should we do?"

Su the Third’s heart suddenly tightened, even thinking such a skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctor like Dr. Zhang can’t do it?

"Uncle Su, don’t worry, the realignment isn’t very complicated, let’s anesthetize it first."

Zhang Lingchuan could see the elder’s concern, so he spoke up.

Even though the dog wasn’t lively at the moment, it’s a dog after all, can’t understand human speech, anesthesia would be safer.

"Alright! Then Dr. Zhang, you treat it! Let me know if there’s anything you need! Money is not an issue!!"

Boss Su replied with a determined look.

This was an old buddy who had been with him for a long time.

If it can be saved, then save it.

"Alright."

Zhang Lingchuan nodded.

He went to prepare the anesthetic.

Soon, after preparing the anesthetic, he came to the dog.

[Error alert! Jaw dislocation does not require anesthesia! Please host perform Perfect-level Osteopathic Technique treatment.]

However, unexpectedly, the system popped up with an error alert in the next second.

...

[Severe Error Warning! Current patient is anesthetized, detected that the host’s right foot is preparing to strike the targeted dislocated jaw patient, applying such force may cause comminuted fracture of the jaw or even death!!]

[A physician’s compassion, regardless of any grudge between host and patient, immediately refrain from this behavior! If the patient dies, host rewards will turn null! And sensitivity of daily tasks will greatly decrease!!]
