I'm just a veterinarian! You've unlocked the Great Physician System!

Chapter 381 The girl with the yellow tag, she died, and the system's hidden item card!
"Zhang Laoshi, are you staring blankly at that beautiful woman so early in the morning?"

Just as Zhang Lingchuan was in a daze, a familiar voice rang in his ear.

It's Comrade Xiao Song.

Just after stopping the car, he noticed that Teacher Zhang was talking to the owner of the breakfast stall. Then, he accidentally bumped into a girl behind him who was dragging a suitcase and looked like she was going home.

It seems that Teacher Zhang apologized.

But for some reason, I kept watching the girl leave.

That's a bit strange.

"I just felt that there was something slightly off about this girl."

Zhang Lingchuan muttered something.

"Something's wrong!"

However, before Song Wanqing could speak, the steamed bun shop owner, Mr. Ren, suddenly froze!
"classmate--"

She grabbed the steamed bun and rushed forward.

As someone who experienced Dr. Zhang's consultation and was eventually diagnosed with chronic occlusive myocardial infarction, she knew all too well how capable this young man was.

So he said something was wrong, maybe the girl had some kind of illness.

"???"

Zhang Lingchuan and Song Wanqing were stunned.

Why did the steamed bun vendor go and block that girl's way up there?

"Huh? Huh?"

The girl dragging her suitcase looked a little surprised.

"Hey student, here's a steamed bun for you."

Mr. Ren tied the steamed bun to the girl's suitcase handle.

It's unclear whether the girl was a bit slow to react or Ren Daiqin was too fast, but her face only showed a hint of fear after she was tied up.

"No, no, I've already had breakfast."

She quickly waved her hand and said.

"You can have another serving of steamed buns if you've already had breakfast, it's no problem. Today is my last day setting up my stall here, so it's my day off too~"

Ren Daiqin smiled.

Now that the students have all left, she, who relies on students for her livelihood, definitely needs to rest.

"Boss, here's your money."

The girl, dragging a suitcase and wearing a black down jacket, took out money and gave it to Ren Daiqin.

"No, no, as I said, today is my last day at the stall. You can have the extra buns, young lady, it's free. If you're still here next semester, you're welcome to come and support my little business. They all call me Boss Bao, you can call me that too."

Ren Daiqin smiled wryly.

She quite liked the nickname.

"Well, thank you, Boss Bao."

The girl bowed to express her gratitude.

"No need to thank me, thank that young man."

Ren Daiqin looked toward Zhang Lingchuan.

"Boss Bao, one order of xiaolongbao—"

Just as the girl's gaze turned to the person she had accidentally bumped into, the steamed bun vendor was called out again by a voice.

"coming!!"

Turns out, a business opportunity has arrived.

Boss Bao immediately ran over.

Hello, classmate.

Zhang Lingchuan and Song Wanqing walked over and greeted the girl.

Song Wanqing's previous remarks were just a joke.

When Teacher Zhang takes the initiative to approach someone, that person's situation must be critical, and there is no room for carelessness.

"Hello, how about I pay for these steamed buns?"

The girl in the black down jacket took out ten yuan from her small wallet.

I plan to give it to Zhang Lingchuan.

"Excuse me, which school are you from? Is it the art college next door?"

Zhang Lingchuan did not accept the money, but instead asked questions.

"Yes, from the art school next door."

The girl in the black down jacket forced a smile and nodded.

"Haha, I often visit the art college next door. Are you a dance student, junior?"

Zhang Lingchuan had a smiling face.

"???"

Song Wanqing asked three questions.

Wait a minute! Teacher Zhang shouldn't be so obviously wrong.

Those who practice dance in art academies are the easiest to spot, since they train their physique every day.

Although this girl is quite slender, her figure is a bit sloppy, and she doesn't look like a dancer at all, showing no signs of training.

Are you deliberately trying to chat a little longer?

Another thought popped into her head.

"It's not dance, it's music. I'm a junior this year. This is for you, senior. I have to go now."

The girl shook her head, gave a reply, and then handed over ten yuan.

"Hey, junior... actually, you don't look too well. I'm Zhang Lingchuan from next door, people online call me Veterinarian Zhang. Can I take your pulse?"

It was clear that the other party was determined to leave.

"Zhang Lingchuan asked as soon as the scan was finished."

This girl's situation is a bit complicated.

"Veterinarian Zhang?"

The girl in the black down jacket paused for a moment and looked at Zhang Lingchuan.

"Yes, I can show you my TikTok."

Zhang Lingchuan took out his phone.

"No need... I've heard my classmates talk about you, but I'm perfectly healthy. Thank you for your concern."

Ba Niannian shook her head.

Then, dragging his suitcase, he prepared to walk forward.

She had never actually seen this veterinarian, Zhang.

But I've heard classmates talk about this person on a regular basis.

It is said that when Dr. Zhang came to their door, it seemed that they were either on the verge of death or seriously ill, or even possibly had cancer.

In the past, she would have been quite interested.

But now she doesn't care what serious illness she has.

She has already bought a high-speed rail ticket to Beizhu City in Northeast China. It will take about two and a half hours to get there. She will then take the subway to Lvbin.

Come to think of it, I've been studying in Northeast China for so long and I still haven't seen the sea.

“Excuse me, where are you going? Are you taking a bus back to your hometown? I have a car, would you like us to give you a ride? My name is Song Wanqing, and some people also call me Comrade Xiao Song.”

Song Wanqing could tell that Teacher Zhang was trying very hard to strike up a conversation with this girl.

However, although this girl was very polite, she inexplicably carried a strange indifference.

It's that feeling of not caring or being interested, and I don't know why.

But if Teacher Zhang is very persistent in communicating with someone after being by Teacher Zhang's side for so long, then that person must have some kind of fatal disease.

This is the pattern she summarized.

"No, no, thank you. I'm just going to the station. I've heard of you before, Senior Song. I wish you and Veterinarian Zhang a long and happy life together!"

Ba Niannian waved to the two of them, then turned and left.

"This……"

Song Wanqing looked at Zhang Lingchuan with some surprise.

The woman's intuition told her that something was definitely wrong with this girl.

But her intuition couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was.

"Wanqing, why don't you go back first? I need to deal with this rather tricky matter. Classmate—"

Zhang Lingchuan scratched his head, also feeling that this was a bit difficult to handle.

The main issue is that this isn't considered an illness!

He was indeed quite unfamiliar with the field.

But the girl in front of me might actually die.

We certainly can't just let it go unchecked. Once she gets on the bus or goes to the station, we might see it on the news the day after tomorrow.

So he had to follow the other person first, figure out the reason, and find a way to resolve his inner conflict.

Let Wanqing go back first.

"Master Zhang, that girl was so sweet-talking, I definitely can't go back first! Come on, let's follow her!"

Song Wanqing said directly.

On a bus.

As soon as Ba Niannian got on the bus, she suddenly saw two more people in front of and behind her.

"???"

The next moment, Ba Niannian was stunned.

Because these two people were none other than Senior Zhang and Senior Song, whom we had just seen.

She doesn't actually have a Douyin account, and she rarely watches videos on Weibo or similar platforms.

But one of my roommates is a fan of Zhang.

Some roommates even said they wanted to run into Senior Zhang at the Agricultural College across the street, and then someone added insult to injury by saying that Senior Zhang has Senior Sister Xiao Song, and that they could not compare to her.

So she knew that Senior Sister Xiao Song and Senior Veterinarian Zhang were probably related, which is why she wished them well.

"Senior Zhang, Senior Song, what's going on here??"

Ba Niannian asked, somewhat bewildered.

"Junior...you don't know, but Senior Zhang is extremely obsessive in private. He won't rest until he sees the patient he's interested in!"

It's just made up.

Basic skills for journalism students.

"This……"

Ba Niannian looked at Zhang Lingchuan with some disbelief.

"Ah."

Zhang Lingchuan nodded, indicating that it was correct, exactly as described.

"So, junior, could you please examine Teacher Zhang, just by taking his pulse?"

Song Wanqing asked.

"Is it here...?"

Ba Niannian looked at the car and saw that there were still quite a few people on it.

"We can get off the bus."

Seeing that the other party was softening, Song Wanqing quickly replied.

"Alright then, let's get off at the stop ahead."

Ba Niannian nodded.

"Hello passengers, welcome aboard the No. 108 self-service bus. Please stand firm and hold on. The next stop is Yangzhu Road..."

The atmosphere fell silent for a brief moment.

A voice announcement came from the bus.

Soon.

We've arrived at Yangzhu Station.

"Junior, let me help you with your luggage."

Zhang Lingchuan took the initiative to pick up Ba Niannian's luggage.

"Hey! Zhang Xue..."

"It's alright, it's alright. A tall person like you who's over 1.8 meters tall won't get tired carrying a little bit of luggage. Speaking of which, we don't even know your name yet, junior."

morning.

Yangzhu Road is a quiet street.

Song Wanqing interrupted Ba Niannian and then asked her questions.

First of all, it wouldn't be a problem for Teacher Zhang to carry this amount of luggage. Secondly, she genuinely didn't know the junior's name.

Knowing someone's name makes communication easier.

“Ba Niannian, the ba of mouth, the nian of longing.”

Ba Niannian answered.

"Ba Niannian, what a lovely name! Your aunt and uncle are so good at choosing names!"

Song Wanqing thought the name was really good.

"My parents didn't have much formal education either. They just named it randomly. Maybe it's because they miss me or I miss them that we call it 'Nian Nian'."

Song Wanqing observed that the girl's expression was very natural when discussing this topic.

"Niannian, where are you going by bus? What time is your ticket? If you're worried about being late, let's ask Teacher Zhang to hurry up."

Song Wanqing asked again.

"Let's go to Beizhu, and then take a walk along the Beizhu Riverside. I've never seen the sea before. It's alright, the train leaves at 11:50, so we should make it. If we don't make it, I'll just reschedule. It's rare that Senior Zhang is so interested in me."

Ba Niannian smiled.

"Haha, Nian Nian is so relaxed~"

Song Wanqing noticed that Teacher Zhang frowned after the other party finished speaking.

Actually, she also found it strange.

Beizhu City is only a two-and-a-half-hour high-speed train ride away from here.

Lubin is the same as Beizhu City.

I originally thought that this girl, Ba Niannian, was from Beizhu.

She then remarked that she herself had never even seen the sea.

Beizhu is a coastal city. If someone's hometown is Beizhu, how could they not have seen the sea? It's like living in the mountains and being told you've never seen a mountain.

It seems impossible just thinking about it!
Moreover, the other person seemed inexplicably calm and relaxed!

At the same time, she also noticed that Teacher Zhang's expression was a little strange.

Indeed, Zhang Lingchuan's heart skipped a beat.

A thought popped into his mind: this girl had never seen the sea before, so she chose a place by the sea? But Xiao Song really did help a lot.

So much information was extracted from them all at once.

"Senior Zhang, should I just give you a wristband? Should we find a table?"

Around 9 a.m., many shops on Yangzhu Road were still not open.

The streets were still relatively quiet.

"No need, I can just take your pulse."

Zhang Lingchuan smiled.

"Tsk..."

The next moment, he shook his head.

"What's wrong? Senior Zhang, do I have a terminal illness?"

Seeing Zhang Lingchuan shake his head and frown, Ba Niannian looked puzzled, but also full of curiosity.

"???"

Meanwhile, Song Wanqing was completely bewildered on the other side.

He shook his head, frowned, and even made "tsk tsk tsk" sounds.

Could it be late-stage cancer again?!

Song Wanqing's heart was in her throat.

But she really thought it was outrageous. If she knew who Teacher Zhang was, she would feel a little frightened when she saw Teacher Zhang with such an expression, and some people would even be terrified.

But Ba Niannian's expression only showed confusion and curiosity.

At twenty years old, how can someone have such a mature and composed mindset? They seem incredibly old.

“It’s so messy.”

Zhang Lingchuan spoke thoughtfully.

"very messy?"

Ba Niannian was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, Nian Nian, you seem very troubled. What happened?"

Zhang Lingchuan inquired.

"???"

Song Wanqing, standing to the side, immediately displayed a row of question marks.
what the hell.

You can tell if someone's mind is in turmoil just by taking their pulse? That's ridiculous!
"No, nothing's wrong... I feel fine, right?"

Ba Nian Nian answered.

But her eyes, which seemed to flicker and evade, betrayed her.

“Niannian, doctors have sharp eyes. Don’t lie to them. I suggest you tell the truth.”

Zhang Lingchuan's expression was serious.

[The host, guided by the hidden item card, scans the patient currently labeled yellow.]

System scan complete.

[Patient's Name: Ba Niannian]

[Patient's gender: Female.]

[Patient's age: 20 years old.]

[Patient's condition: shortness of breath, chest pain, confusion, silence, emotional numbness, and extremely negative emotions.]

[Patient Diagnosis: Moderate depression, broken heart syndrome. The illness is currently not fatal, hence the yellow label.]

[System notification: This patient developed 'Broken Heart Syndrome' after experiencing a major emotional blow, and also has depressive tendencies. The combination of these two factors leads to extremely strong suicidal thoughts. After comprehensive evaluation using a specially activated hidden item card, the patient's life has entered its final countdown.]

This is the result Zhang Lingchuan just scanned.

Moderate depression, broken heart syndrome.

The former is actually quite common, namely depression.

The latter, 'broken heart syndrome,' is a completely unfamiliar term.

The symptoms of this disease are very similar to those of an acute myocardial infarction; patients may experience shortness of breath and chest pain.

But the heart was not actually damaged.

It is a kind of psychological stimulus that creates a kind of pain. Because the feeling of heartache is like the heart is really broken, it is also called 'broken heart syndrome'.

So this girl wasn't being honest!
[Hidden Item Card: Unlocked upon first scanning of a gray-labeled deceased patient or upon advancing to the Attending Physician level. This card can predict the deeply hidden psychological state of extreme individuals, helping the host to promptly identify those who have given up on life due to emotional imbalance or those who violently attack medical personnel. It maximizes the chances of saving suicidal patients and innocent medical staff. As a prospective Perfect Physician, the host must be vigilant, pay attention to patients with hidden labels, and guard against premature deaths.]

This is the annotation for the hidden item card I obtained last night after scanning the gray label.

He didn't look at the prop card closely at the time.

After looking at it carefully today, I found this card to be quite interesting.

It turned out to be a hidden psychological state scan card that could only be unlocked during the course of treatment by the attending physician. It could detect suicidal patients and those who violently attacked medical staff.

If you ask what doctors fear most in today's tense doctor-patient relationship, the answer is undoubtedly violent attacks on doctors.

Because medical outcomes are often uncertain, they become a justification for violence against medical staff.

In recent years, there have been several similar incidents in China. A top ophthalmologist who has helped more than 15000 patients regain their sight was slashed by a patient whose recovery was not satisfactory during a consultation. His hands were so badly injured that he could no longer hold a scalpel. He was referred to in the industry as a "kitchen knife" and it was said that this incident set back the ophthalmology field in China by decades.

Even worse, a patient who was hospitalized for rhinitis and deviated nasal septum, did not return for follow-up visits after being cured and discharged, and was dissatisfied with the medical treatment for a long time. He rushed into the consultation room and stabbed the doctor, causing damage to his liver and other organs, leaving him on the verge of death.

There have also been cases of orthopedic surgeons being hacked to death by patients while they are seeing patients.

The most outrageous incident was when a police call was made to report an injury at home, an emergency medical team arrived, only to find a sharp knife inside, resulting in the innocent death of a female emergency doctor.

I believe that every doctor would wish they had the ability to detect murderous intent.

To ensure I can react quickly when I encounter such extreme individuals, and save my life!

This information is currently available through hidden item cards.

This girl is not the latter; she belongs to the former category of people with suicidal tendencies.

[Task Category: Hidden Task]

[Mission Overview: Hidden item cards can be used automatically. Specifically, they mark patients' heads with a label other than color. If the current host discovers a person with a '?' question mark above their head, they can actively scan them.]

[Mission Reward: A hidden reward will be awarded to the host once the question mark disappears.]

[Failure penalty: Unknown.]

He has now activated a hidden quest.

Rewards unknown.

If it fails, then it's simply a matter of 'unknown'.

Honestly, the reason I'm trying so hard to talk to the other person more and find out the reason for their major emotional setback isn't for this so-called mission.

It's mainly for this life, which is only twenty years old.

What could be bothering you that made you want to die?
The dead cannot be brought back to life, but the newborn can still be saved.

Yesterday's patient couldn't be saved, so we should at least do our best to save today's one. Besides, the situation of yesterday's patient and today's girl is completely different.

"This……"

Ba Niannian didn't dare to look Zhang Lingchuan in the eye because she felt that this senior's gaze was very strange.

It has an inexplicable penetrating power, as if it can see through one's own heart.

This caused a slight panic in her heart, which had been dead for several days.

"Is Niannian in a relationship?"

Zhang Lingchuan raised a topic.

The girl experienced a major emotional setback and developed suicidal thoughts; being in a relationship was one of the triggers.

In previous years, there have been many girls who, after experiencing setbacks in their relationships, contemplated suicide or even committed suicide outright. There are quite a few college students among them, and each one of them could scare their advisors so much they would have their skulls blown off.

"No... I haven't had time to look for it yet."

Ba Niannian smiled with a hint of regret.

I've been so busy with music that I've forgotten about dating.

"What major misfortune has befallen your family?"

I'm not in a relationship.

It shouldn’t be! !
Normally, shouldn't it be a story of emotional problems leading to a young girl taking her own life?

Having depression on top of emotional problems is a recipe for disaster.

It turned out that my initial guess was wrong.

"Senior Zhang, you..."

After Zhang Lingchuan finished speaking, Ba Niannian scrutinized him with a pair of eyes, filled with curiosity and shock!

"It's true that something happened at home, which is why you're so distraught, right?"

Zhang Lingchuan knew he had guessed correctly.

There must have been some major upheaval in her family that caused this girl to be so distraught.

In reality, what could drive a girl to give up her life is either her family or her relationship. Of course, being scolded or something similar could also happen, but that accounts for a relatively small percentage.

Of course, if you're wrong about the family factor, you'll definitely steer the conversation towards being bullied or scolded.

However, it is quite rare to see a third-year student like this in a regular undergraduate institution.

The "Nostril Sister" from the Law School is still considered an outlier.

"Niannian, can you tell me what happened? Don't keep it to yourself. Sometimes it's better to talk about it than to keep it to yourself."

Seeing that the other person seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Zhang Lingchuan continued to guide the conversation with a leading statement.

"Broken Heart Syndrome" does not only occur in people who have experienced heartbreak. People who suffer major emotional trauma, such as the sudden loss of a loved one or experiencing immense fear, may also exhibit similar symptoms.

Find someone to confide in or have a good cry is actually a good solution.

American biochemist Dr. William Foley discovered that when people cry emotionally, they secrete more hormones and neurotransmitters, which helps remove the chemicals secreted by negative emotions from the body.

Therefore, holding it in all the time is not good for your health.

Song Wanqing remained silent.

But she felt that Teacher Zhang was a really unfamiliar person today.

It's like he's a fortune teller.

Judging from the girl's expression, it's quite possible that Teacher Zhang actually got it right.

In other words, something bad happened in this girl's family.

So you're going to Beizhu City to relax?
or……

Song Wanqing suddenly thought of something!
His pupils trembled slightly in the next instant!

“Senior Zhang, my parents, they went to the mountains last week to dig for winter bamboo shoots and bracken roots, but they encountered a landslide and are no longer here.”

This was the first time Ba Niannian had told others about the changes in her family.

The villagers and my aunt called.

They also hoped she would go home to arrange her parents' funeral.

But Ba Niannian really couldn't bear to see her parents lying coldly in their coffins.

Its face was distorted, its shape broken.

These days she even feels like she's dreaming, that the phone calls from her aunt and the villagers are fake, and that her parents are very happy to make her bracken rice cakes.

Those are glutinous rice cakes that they only make during the Spring Festival in Guizhou Province.

They were still calling each other by their nicknames.

The pot was opened, steaming hot, and I couldn't resist grabbing a piping hot glutinous rice cake with my bare hands, which danced between my two hands like acrobatics.

Everything felt so real; how could my parents have died?

However, every time she woke up from her dream, she found herself in a cold dormitory, with her aunt's voice messages and previous call logs on WeChat.

So Mom and Dad really are dead.

Yes.

How could anyone survive a landslide?

Grandpa and Grandma are gone, and so are Dad and Mom.

Ba Niannian felt that her life had no meaning in this world. She wanted to look at the sea at night and then jump into it for the rest of her life, to sleep forever in the world where her father and mother lived.

We're eating stir-fried winter bamboo shoots with pork and bracken glutinous rice cakes.

"This……"

Song Wanqing never expected that this girl would encounter such a thing.

It seems that I guessed it right.

She really wanted to commit suicide.

But Song Wanqing was also very curious about how Teacher Zhang had found such a girl who wanted to commit suicide in the vast sea of ​​people!

This is unreasonable.

I'll ask later.

"Are Niannian's grandparents still alive?"

Zhang Lingchuan's heart skipped a beat.

Landslide, no wonder this girl would do this. If she had some close relatives around, even if she had a good relationship with her parents, there should have been room for maneuver.

"He's gone. He passed away a few years ago. Senior Zhang, you're amazing."

Ba Niannian forced a smile and gave Zhang Lingchuan a thumbs up.

This veterinarian Zhang is really amazing; he can even see the mess in my mind.

Her mind was in complete turmoil; she could no longer distinguish between reality and dreams.

"Wouldn't that mean I'd only be thinking about you?"

My grandparents are gone too.

My parents also passed away due to an accidental landslide.

No wonder this girl has suicidal tendencies.

Even a normal girl would be prone to suicide.

Not to mention that the other person already has moderate depression.

Depression coupled with intense mood swings meant that, in the real world, this girl was practically dead, like a walking corpse.

"I'm all alone now. Senior Zhang, Senior Song, I feel much better after telling you about this. If there's nothing else, I'm getting on the bus! Of course, you don't need to worry about me, I'll definitely be fine, and I believe I can get through this terrible thing. Lastly, I want to say, Senior Zhang, you're really amazing! You can even see right through someone's heart!"

Another bus arrived, and Ba Niannian looked at Zhang Lingchuan and took her suitcase.

"???"

Zhang Lingchuan frowned. "You're much better now. You managed to walk out of that egg?!"
There's even a death countdown above my head!!
【? 】

This is the symbol Zhang Lingchuan saw above the other person's head.

Based on the clues from the hidden item card.

As long as the question mark [?] remains, the crisis is not over.

So, this girl...

They seem honest, but they're just trying to fool people!
He clearly wanted to send them away so he could go and commit suicide alone!

……
