Witness eating stones like eating peanut rice
After 3 p.m. on the 2nd, the reporter and a group of 3 people came to the Zhangjiayuan group of Duolangping Village, Niuchang Town, Fuquan City, and mentioned the old man who liked to eat stones, and the villagers pointed to a small brick house with 2 floors and said that it was The home of Li Deming.
When he arrived at Qian Deming's house, the old man seemed a little excited when he learned that the reporter had come to him, and after briefly introducing himself, the old man ran to the next house to pick up a piece of glass: "I want to prove to the reporter that I did not lie." At the end of the conversation, the old man was ready to swallow the glass in his hand.
"Old man, don't eat indiscriminately." When they saw the old man preparing to swallow the glass, the villagers who were watching were worried about the accident and quickly snatched the glass from the old man's hand. The glass was gone, and the old man was very unhappy.
The glass was not eaten, the old man then put his hand into the trouser pocket, took out a stone the size of a little finger and threw it into his mouth, and then from the mouth came a "click, click" chewing sound, the old man opened his mouth, the stone in his mouth was gone, and then the old man did not forget to add a sentence "down".
Just when everyone sighed, the old man threw a stone into his mouth, eating the stone like eating peanuts and rice, after chewing a few times, the old man opened his mouth again, and then added a sentence "It's down again."
At this time, the villagers and reporters who were watching quickly cleaned out the stones in the old man's pocket, and it turned out that the old man had a large number of stones in his pocket.
Without the stone, the old man was once again unhappy. He went straight into the kitchen, took a white porcelain bowl, smashed it on the ground, and then picked up the broken porcelain piece and put it in the corner of his mouth and bit it up, during which there was no concern at all, as long as he stood next to the old man, he could hear the "clicking" sound of the porcelain bowl he bit with his teeth, and soon, a large porcelain bowl was bitten, when the old man opened his mouth, he saw a large number of white broken porcelain pieces in his mouth, but the old man quickly swallowed all the broken porcelain pieces, and when he opened his mouth again, the fragments were gone.
Reason 30 years ago I had a serious illness
The 66-year-old Elderly Dremin recalled that around the age of 30, after his young daughter was abducted due to the departure of his wife, he began to have dizziness, and every day he was groggy, and soon he had a serious illness. During his illness, in addition to the mental abnormality, he always felt that he could not eat enough every day, even if he could eat 4 pounds of white rice per meal, but his stomach always felt empty, and later, he did not know why, he chose to use stones to fill his hunger, only by eating stones, he felt that he was full.
The old man Saidming told reporters that later, he not only ate stones, but sometimes even the bowl began to nibble, and then later, the glass also began to eat. Until now, 30 years later, the habits of eating stones and nibbling on glass have not changed.
"Now that the food is full, why do you still eat stones?" In the face of the reporter's question, the old man calmly replied that although he did not worry about eating now, as long as he did not eat stones one day, he always felt uncomfortable, as for what reason he could not figure out, anyway, just like he did not drink a locally produced wine for a day, he did not have the strength to work that day.
It is understood that at present, the elderly Li Deming in the village to help a farm owner feed pigs, in addition to eating some stones every day, but also have to drink five or six liquor, in the winter to the river to take cold baths, and rarely cold fever, digestive system no bleeding phenomenon, its body looks really tough.
Most of the villagers were very calm about the special hobbies of the elderly: "Yes, we often see him eating stones. ”
Villager Chen Qingming recalled that as early as 30 years ago, he saw the old man Li Deming nibbling on the porcelain bowl, because he was mentally abnormal at that time, everyone did not care, did not expect that after more than 10 years, his hobby of nibbling bowls and eating stones has not changed, sometimes when the village eats wine, he also performs bowl nibbling for the villagers to see, since then, everyone will let him nibble the bowl or eat stones for everyone to see.
However, what makes everyone wonder is that even if the old man Ofe Ming swallowed the glass in his stomach, he did not see bleeding from the corner of his mouth or stomach pain. "In short, I feel strange and hope that the medical community can give an explanation." Villager Chen Guogui said.
Wish to find the missing little daughter
However, the old man's son Qian Changyong also told reporters that his father once ate the lamp tube, that time the father had blood in the stool for the first time, and then went to the clinic for two days to hang needles, until now, even if the old father has been eating stones and nibbling porcelain bowls all these years, he has not seen his father have blood in the stool again.
"My body has never been 'overhauled.'" Old Man Qian Deming said triumphantly from the sidelines.
In this regard, Xu Haitao, director of the emergency department of Guiyang Six Medical Colleges, said that the elderly eat stones and nibble porcelain bowls for many years belong to a special case, because after the elderly repeatedly eat these hard objects, the body has become accustomed to and tolerated, once tolerated, there will be no gastrointestinal bleeding and other situations, at most there may be indigestion, but as long as it can be excreted normally, it will be fine. "However, it is not excluded that the elderly suffer from pica."
Finally, as the reporter prepared to leave the village, the old man uttered a wish he had long buried in his heart: he hoped that the media would help him find his young daughter. The youngest daughter, qian changqin, was born on September 4, 1986, with a red birthmark (red mole) on the back of her left hand, and was taken away by a Sichuan man on May 1, 1990, and has not been heard from so far.
Elder Li Deming said that now his biggest wish is that he hopes to find his little daughter in his lifetime, and he wants to know whether her daughter is doing well now.
