Li Xu examined him carefully.
The little boy was less than a meter tall and looked like a three-year-old toddler.
Under normal circumstances, a five-year-old should be about 1.1 meters tall and weigh around 18 kilograms.
But... looking at his condition, forget 18 kilograms. Li Xu felt... the child would be lucky to even weigh 10.
His ribs were clearly visible, one by one, yet his belly was distended. His limbs were as thin as sticks.
But what was most striking was his head.
It was swollen, as if it had been forcibly pumped full of water. It was a whole size larger than a normal child's, with a protruding forehead. There were even signs that his fontanelle had not fully closed.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this condition is called a "separating skull."
