The topic of our medical group discussion today is complications of diabetes. When we talked about diabetic foot, I found the title of today’s story. This is the story in my notes.

In the late autumn of the 35th year of the Republic of China, my grandfather went to visit his sister in Zhangqiubu Village. When the guests and hosts were seated, they suddenly heard the warmth and cold, but didn't mention it. Before finishing a cup of tea, my grandfather heard someone outside the courtyard shouting "Mother~, mother!"

~", the voice was dry and high-pitched, but miserable and desperate. The grandfather asked his brother-in-law whose family was beating their wives.

The sister and brother-in-law looked at each other and smiled bitterly. The brother-in-law said: It's okay, don't worry, we are used to it. It's my neighbor Aunt Wang. She has a bad disease and there is no way to cure it. But she can't die, so she can only lie in bed for a day.

The call of the day.

My grandfather heard from his brother-in-law that the disease was an incurable disease, but he didn't think so. The patient's high-pitched and long screams indicated that the Qi and blood had not declined. As long as the proper use of drugs to support healthy Qi can help the body restore energy and drive away evil Qi,

How could it be possible that there was no cure? I think it was a country man with short knowledge and lack of medical treatment, so he continued to delay recovery.

So my grandfather said to his brother-in-law with half pity and half pity: Hearing her scream is really miserable and miserable, and I can't bear it. Since you have some medical skills, you might as well take me to see her. I can help her treat it.

It can be known.

The brother-in-law said: Brother, stop looking for trouble. This woman deserves it. She gets this kind of retribution only after she has done all the bad things. You don’t care what she does.

My sister said: If our brother wants to go to see a doctor, you should take him to see him. His Aunt Wang has been suffering from this disease for several years. She has been suffering all day long. Even if she is older, she should have suffered enough. I will give it to her.

Hearing her howl makes me feel uncomfortable. If our brothers can heal her, it will be a meritorious deed.

So we decided to take my grandfather to see the patient after lunch.

During lunch, my brother-in-law was very gossipy and recounted everything about Aunt Wang’s life. She was originally from Wangcun Town, Linxian County, her maiden name was Gao. The matchmaker said that she was going to marry a certain Wang from the same village. What’s the saying about “a strong nature”?

Translated?Character

She is very tough, okay...after all, she is a very powerful woman. On the second day after her marriage, she had an argument with her mother-in-law, which made the whole village come to watch. After marriage, she became even worse, often beating her husband and abusing the elderly.

, neighbor who

If she dared to break up a fight, she would even go out together with others. If someone provoked her, or gossiped about her and she found out, she would go to the door of that person's house and yell, curse, and roll around. Later, this woman established an image of absolute authority in the village.

, no one dares to provoke her, no one pays attention to her, and children will hide away when they see her. Not only is she not ashamed, but she is even more arrogant and proud. Oh, can you imagine?

Such a woman is really deadly.

Later, her mother-in-law was so angry that she became seriously ill and bedridden. She actually moved the old man's bed from the main room to the woodshed, and never took care of it. She only gave the old man half a bowl of gruel every day. This made an old lady unable to survive.

In a few days, within a month, the old lady died. The old man died soon after

After that, she didn't mention the burial and let the body lie in the woodshed for four days. On the fifth day, while she was going to the market, her husband invited some villagers to hastily bury the old lady. Her brother-in-law also went to attend, saying that the old lady was

Although he has been dead for four days, his eyes have not closed and he looks very kb.

Probably since the year before last, this woman has had something wrong with her feet. According to what she told others, she dreamed of several vicious dogs chasing and biting her every night, and she would always walk with a limp when she went to the market. This probably happened again.

I haven't seen her go out for more than a year. I heard someone said that her feet were bitten by a vicious dog in her dream.

The bite was so chewed that he couldn't get off the ground. He asked his husband to serve him every day. If he was not satisfied, he would break pots and bowls and scold her husband. Because they lived not far away, she could often hear her scolding. Later, her condition probably became more serious.

, just howling every day, shouting motherly, motherly, motherly, except for eating and drinking.

, did not stop for a moment, and kept tossing until midnight before taking a break. My grandfather's sister visited her once a month ago. She covered the soles of her feet to prevent others from looking at her. The house was full of stench. She used to be quite fat, but now she is thin.

A lot. During their illness, their family also visited several doctors.

, it was said that it was difficult to cure, and the prescriptions she prescribed had no effect, and now she could only live and wait for death. Few people in the village pitied her, and they all said that she deserved it, and evil people will be punished by evil. She was her grandfather's sister.

, maybe out of natural compassion for the patients, they occasionally go to comfort and care for them.

After listening to this, my grandfather could probably guess a little bit about the condition. Eighty percent of the symptoms were gangrene, commonly known as missing fingers. Due to the obstruction of the blood vessels in the feet, the toes or soles will suffer from ischemic rot, necrosis or even falling off.

.Modern medicine generally uses surgical resection for treatment. In that era of war and chaos, it was a remote and poor village. How could there be such medical conditions? The doctors were helpless and understandable.

After lunch, everyone took a break to burn incense. My brother-in-law took his grandfather to see the patient. It was not far away, less than a hundred steps away, so no wonder the howling could be heard so clearly.

He knocked on the door and explained the purpose of his visit to the man of the house. The man of the house was very grateful and hurriedly invited his grandfather and others into the main room. As soon as they entered the main room, a putrid smell hit their nostrils. The grandfather was afraid that his brother-in-law would be hit by the foul smell, so he asked his brother-in-law to stay outside the door.

Wait. I hold the sachet to cover up the bad smell.

Although the woman was slightly thinner, the flesh on her face could still be seen. She had triangular eyes and splayed eyebrows, and she was not a kind person at first glance. There was a little girl next to her with yellow hair and rat eyes. The male host asked her to pour water.

She was mumbling and seemed very unhappy. After asking, she found out that she was their daughter. Alas, this little girl is not expected to be a fuel-efficient lamp in the future. It is true that like mother, like daughter.

Grandfather briefly asked about the patient's feelings and symptoms, and he was sure that the patient was suffering from gangrene. Fortunately, the necrosis had not exceeded the ankle, and there might still be hope. This was when the grandfather changed the subject and asked the woman: "What do you usually call me?"

Ah? The woman said: Call me mother. Then she burst into tears, took my grandfather’s hand and said: Doctor,

It hurts me so much, please save me. My grandfather said: Do you know why you got this disease? The woman said: Yes, I did a lot of bad things in the past, and I will be punished for this. My grandfather nodded, indeed

It still can be saved. It doesn’t matter where a person is bad. If a person’s heart is broken, even gods can’t save it. Grandfather said: If you call your mother every day, you

Where is your mother? Can she hear you? Can she cure your illness? The woman said: I hurt, it hurts so much that I can’t help it, it’s like asking my mother to take me to the underworld quickly, I can’t bear this pain anymore

Grandfather said: How can you die if you can't bear all your sins? I can treat your illness, but I came in a hurry and didn't bring all the medicine. I have to go back now.

Buy it, and I'll be back in three or four days. If you feel pain again before I come back, don't call your mother, call Guanshiyin Bodhisattva. When you call Bodhisattva, think carefully about the wrong things you did. Listen to your mother's death.

Even if you disappear, I can't save you. Guanshiyin Bodhisattva can hear it. When Bodhisattva hears it, your illness will be cured. The woman nodded with tears in her eyes.

After finishing speaking, the grandfather said goodbye to the owner and went home with his brother-in-law. The brother-in-law said: Brother, do you really want to treat her? Grandfather nodded and said: Although the illness is serious, she will not die. She personally has a sense of repentance. I always

She can't just die without saving her. I asked her to recite the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva. If she can do it for three consecutive days, it means that she really has a repentant heart and a kind heart, so I might as well treat her.

There is a saying that it is easy to donate one's life generously and to die calmly. Under the long torture of severe illness, how many people can endure the long and painful death process? The strong desire to recover and survive made this woman follow her grandfather's instructions and replace her wailing with

It became a devout call to the gods, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva, kept reciting it, my grandfather heard it clearly at my sister's house, and

And she really persisted for three days. On the afternoon of the third day, my grandfather secretly wrote a prescription and asked his brother-in-law to go to the pharmacy in the town to prepare some medicinal materials for internal and external use, and decided to see the woman the next day. That night,

My grandfather had a dream in which a kind-faced old lady gave him a piece of tree branch. My grandfather had no explanation, so I thought it might mean that the woman could be cured.

My grandfather stayed at his sister's house and treated the woman for more than ten days. In the end, the wound was healed, but the detached joint could not regenerate, leaving her with a lifelong disability.

After this woman recovered from her illness, she changed a lot. It is said that she once kowtowed to the villagers door to door and asked for forgiveness. Of course, the kind villagers must have forgiven her. Her husband was not treated as harshly as before. He could not farm because of his disability, but he could do it at home.

These handicrafts supplemented the family income, and life became more harmonious. My grandfather would occasionally see his sister every time he visited her home, and he finally lived to be in his fifties or sixties before passing away.
