Wake up（18）

18

 

Chai Jianhua and He Jiafu escaped from the National Army field hospital during the civil war, but after the founding of New China, they launched a campaign to suppress counter-revolutionaries, severely cracking down on the counter-revolutionary remnants left by the Kuomintang on the mainland. The two fell into a state of fear. The result is a homeless bum.

Chai Jianhua's hair was disheveled, his thin face was also tanned, and his rough skin hadn't been washed for a long time. There was no light in his eyes, and he walked slowly like a puppet. The whole person looks sloppy. He wore a pair of frayed trousers and a dirty cloth shirt with a ripped collar showing his bony knuckles. He was tall and thin, with a hunched back, rubbing his hands behind his back, nervously twisting his long fingers that were bent like hooks. He walked slowly on the stone road. No one could see that he had actually killed a Japanese soldier. He had served in the national army. He doesn't draw attention to himself, and he's afraid of attention. He didn't want to talk about fighting devils during the Anti-Japanese War. People would not praise him for it. If they knew that he had joined the national army, they would definitely regard him as a dog spy left by the Kuomintang on the mainland.

Accompanying the unfortunate Chai Jianhua was his comrade-in-arms He Jiafu. He Jiafu blew up a leg while beating devils. Logically speaking, he could be regarded as a national hero, but he joined the national army. , had to hide this experience. He also had to make up a lie that his leg was broken by the Kuomintang police, saying that he once stole a dog from a rich man.

He Jiafu, who was missing a leg, was propped on a dead tree branch, trembling all over, swaying like a reed, swaying in the wind. Although his face was pale and there were no tears on his face, his eyes were full of fire and darkness. He became a beggar, leaning on a cane instead of a dead tree branch, and walked with difficulty regardless of the rugged mountain road. There was a rag over his shoulders. On his head was a broken straw hat, which covered his face.

That day, in the drizzle, Chai Jianhua and He Jiafu came to a dirty alley in the small town.

He Jiafu suddenly said to Chai Jianhua: "Jianhua, we can't stay in the city, we can only go to the countryside, homeless, penniless, and have not had food for several days. I see, this There are still a few pedestrians in the alley, I might as well just sit here and beg, maybe I can get some food. I am missing a leg, maybe this is my destiny to be a beggar."

Chai Jianhua was in a hurry: "Jiafu, don't worry, I'm a traveling doctor, I think there will always be a chance to meet patients who seek medical treatment."

He Jiafu sat directly on the ground: "You'd better go, you will be your traveling doctor, and I will be my beggar. We will meet in the pavilion in front after a while."

Seeing that He Jiafu couldn't be persuaded, Chai Jianhua had no choice but to walk towards the pavilion. He spread a piece of paper on the ground and pressed a piece of broken tile on it. Written on the paper: "Inquiry" two words.

However, when He Jiafu was sitting on the ground begging, he looked very weak, his arms were as thin as a wooden stick, and his shoulders drooped weakly. The appearance of the missing leg is indeed very pitiful.

At this time, a young man walked towards him and looked at He Jiafu's begging bowl, which was empty. The young man straightened up and left a dime on He Jiafu's begging bowl, but the money was thrown beside He Jiafu. The young man shouted to He Jiafu: "Hey, kidnapper, here it is for you."

How important this dime is to He Jiafu, but He Jiafu remained motionless, still sitting there. Instead, he tried his best to yell to the young man: "Pick it up and put it in a bowl, or I won't take it." of."

Ah, the young man was shocked immediately, and many onlookers came to him. The young man finally lowered his head, timidly picked up the dime, and respectfully put it in the bowl.

There is nothing wrong with young people doing good, but they forget that beggars also have their own dignity. Although tramps have nothing, they have one thing that is extremely valuable, and that is self-esteem.

For the sake of self-esteem, He Jiafu finally gave up the choice of begging for a living. Leaning on the cane that was replaced by a dead branch, he walked to the pavilion and met Chai Jianhua again. He told Chai Jianhua what happened just now.

Chai Jianhua said to He Jiafu: I once read a book titled "Old Man Time and the Tramp". . Old Man Time said: "Okay!" The homeless man suddenly turned into an eleven or twelve-year-old child, with a schoolbag on his shoulder, and walked towards the school. On the way, he saw some people playing with glass balls, his hands felt itchy, and he squeezed to play again. Still live the old way. When he was old, he met Old Man Time again. He knelt down with a "plop" and begged Old Man Time to give him another youth. Old Man Time sneered and said, "Give you a youth, and you won't get real life."

Chai Jianhua said: After reading the short article, I was very inspired. A person who wastes time is worthless and will not end well. We have to keep every minute and every second in order to experience true happiness. We can't just waste time and youth like this. Wasting time equals killing life. To keep the sun today, we must race against time, cherish youth and life. Time flies, the years go by, we have gone through many difficult days, but we should find the answer to life, in fact, the answer is very simple, it is hidden in our heads, but we don't think about it, we don't realize it That's all. We can't continue to live the same way, wasting our lives. In old age, we will cry bitterly.

At this time, a young woman was holding a little boy and got up towards Chai Jianhua. She asked softly, "Are you a doctor who sees a doctor?"

Chai Jianhua opened the medical bag he carried with him, took out the thermometer, and tested the temperature of the little boy, who was suffering from a high fever.

Chai Jianhua said to the middle-aged woman, your child has a high fever caused by a cold. Traditional Chinese medicine has antipyretic ingredients. The most commonly used one is gypsum, which is pungent, sweet and cold in nature and non-toxic. But I don't have a plaster cast with me here. But I have some Forsythia, Scutellaria Scutellariae, Peppermint and Nepeta, which are traditional Chinese medicines for clearing away heat and can help children reduce fever. These traditional Chinese medicines are non-toxic when reducing fever. As long as they are used correctly, they can relieve cold symptoms in about two or three days.

Chai Jianhua also said that colds are divided into wind-cold colds and wind-heat colds. Your child's symptoms such as severe fever, cough, yellow phlegm, mild aversion to wind and cold, yellow and turbid nose, headache, and sore throat are generally considered to be wind-heat colds. Use hot medicine for cold syndrome, and cold medicine for fever syndrome. Therefore, I will prepare some forsythia, pugongying, honeysuckle, mint, mulberry leaves, and Scutellaria baicalensis for you. These Chinese medicinal materials have antibiotic-like effects and can help white blood cells to remove bacteria.

Chai Jianhua also used massage and acupuncture to treat the little boy with colds in children. Massage Zanzhu for little boys, massage Kangong, massage the sun, retreat the six internal organs, clear the lung meridian, and push the spine. He also explained that pushing Zanzhu, pushing Kangong, and pushing the sun to relieve wind and relieve external pathogens; retreating six internal organs, clearing lung meridian, dispersing lung and clearing heat; pushing spine to clear heat and relieve surface.

Middle-aged women do not understand these TCM massage terms. She only believes that her child's illness will be cured if she meets a master of traditional Chinese medicine.

Chai Jianhua didn't say much, he gave the little boy another acupuncture treatment. Needling method: Take Dazhui, Quchi, Waiguan, and Hegu. Headache plus sun, sore throat plus less quotient. Moxibustion, use moxa sticks 1-2 strong, followed by moxibustion,

Take Dazhui, Fengmen and Feishu. 5-10 minutes per point, it is advisable to warm the surface of the skin.

At this time, a middle-aged man was standing by and watching. Seeing that Chai Jianhua had completed the acupuncture treatment on the boy, he stepped forward and said, "Sir, my father is seriously ill and has trouble walking. Can you please come to the hospital?" My family, give my dad a diagnosis and treatment?"

Chai Jianhua asked the middle-aged man: "What are your father's main symptoms now?"

The man said: "Dad is incontinent, now he moves slowly and is depressed."

Chai Jianhua asked again: "How old is he?"

The man replied: "Dad is 67 years old this year, and now he suffers from urinary incontinence all year round, basically every day, and the urine will flow out without his knowing."

Chai Jianhua said: "Urinary incontinence in the elderly can be treated with acupuncture. You take us to see your father first."

When Chai Jianhua treated the middle-aged woman's child with a cold and high fever, he had already received some medical treatment fees, and now he can get some medical treatment fees when he is going to treat the sick old man.

Chai Jianhua and He Jiafu's footsteps were much lighter, and they felt that life had new hope.
