In 1988, in a small village in Jilin in the northeast, the old man of the Zhou family died.
At night, under the illumination of the long bright lights, the door of the spiritual hall was quiet, and several descendants of the Zhou family leaned on the grass, or whispered, or closed their eyes to recuperate. The deceased was Dr. Zhou of the Zhou family.
The old man made a living by collecting medicine in his early years, and then met a barefoot doctor, poured his money into teaching, and after learning and achieving success, Zhou Lao practiced medicine all his life, saved countless people, and was quite loved by the people in the village, and was honored as Zhou Langzhong.
The long night was long, the eldest grandson of Zhou Langzhong looked up at the sky, as if remembering his grandfather's past, suddenly there was a strange noise outside the door, he looked at the gate, and suddenly the cold hair stood straight up, and there were several wild wolves standing by the door.
Before they could shout and remind everyone, the wolf had already walked straight into the spiritual hall and came to the old man's coffin, and each wild wolf actually held a handful of wild fruit in his mouth, and the wild wolf placed the wild fruit next to the coffin, and then bowed his head to the ground, and a soft wailing sound was emitted from his mouth.
The people of the Zhou family did not seem surprised that the wild wolves came to mourn.
Several wild wolves lay next to the coffin of the old man, refusing to leave for a long time, one of the she-wolves even had tears in her eyes, I don't know how long later, the wild wolves turned around and left, and the eldest son of the Zhou family also told several young juniors about the fate of the old man and the wolf.
Meet tall people in the mountains
When Zhou Langzhong was 11 years old, he ran in a medicine shop, because he was sweet and diligent, and the doctors in the medicine shop usually taught him to identify herbs and gave him several pharmacology books.
Later, Zhou Langzhong followed the medicine farmers in the mountains to the mountains to collect medicines, at this time, he was already able to identify hundreds of herbs, and went to the mountains to pick some rare herbs to sell to the drug shop, and he could also earn some extra money to subsidize the family.
Until the age of 14, once he went up the mountain to collect medicine, saw a fine leaf Wenzhu, which is very rare in the northeast, was about to go forward to pick, suddenly came next to an old man, curious to ask him what plant at this time, he told the truth, but also said the medicinal effects of Wenzhu, the old man then asked several rare herbs, did not expect this young man to answer like a stream.
The old man began to love cai and told him whether he would like to study medicine with him, and Zhou Langzhong was overjoyed when he heard it, which was his lifelong wish. After obtaining the consent of his family, for the next 6 years, he practiced medicine with the old man, and when he was 20 years old, when the old man was dying, he gave him the notes he had made in his life of practicing medicine, instructing him to accumulate good deeds and virtues, not to pretend that they were masters and apprentices, and then he drove to the west of the crane.
After the funeral for the master, Zhou Langzhong returned to his hometown, and in the early years, he became a pharmacist in that pharmacy, although he was only 20 years old, his pharmacological knowledge was very solid, and he followed the master to practice medicine for many years, and his knowledge was also quite rich.
Later, the medicine shop closed, and Zhou Langzhong became a barefoot doctor, running around the northeast for many years to save lives and help the injured.
In 1980, Zhou Langzhong, who had reached the age of huajia, because of his perennial dealings with nature, paying attention to diet and exercise, his body was still strong, and every weekend, he would go up the mountain to look for herbs.
He has been dealing with this mountain forest for more than 40 years, where there are herbs, where there are wild beasts, everything is clear, so the family is also assured to let him go up the mountain alone.
A shocking maternal brilliance
One day, Zhou Langzhong was walking around the mountain, suddenly heard two strange noises, at first Zhou Langzhong thought it was a pheasant, but listened to it a few times, it seemed to be a wolf barking, this place has always been infested with wild wolves, he walked forward curiously, the sound became louder and louder, yes, it was the sound of wild wolves, and it sounded like a wail after being injured.
Looking for the sound, Zhou Langzhong found a trap in a grassy bush, which should be arranged by the hunter, pulling open the grass, and what came into his eyes was a big five small, a she-wolf, five small wolf cubs should have just been born, the she-wolf saw Zhou Langzhong, very strange and not fierce, but also kept screaming at him, as if asking for help.
Zhou Langzhong looked at the wound of the she-wolf, good fellow, this wound has been 12 hours, and this wolf cub seems to have just been born within 2 hours. Zhou Langzhong looked at the she-wolf and his heart became heavy.
This she-wolf actually fell into a trap and was caught in the hind legs of the trapped beast, and endured the great pain of giving birth to the child!
Several little wolf cubs kept screaming, waking Zhou Langzhong up from the shock, there should be no milk, hungry.
The master often said that all things have spirits, and this she-wolf can give birth to children under such difficult circumstances, which is also very precious, so I will help them. ”
Rescue and treatment
Zhou Langzhong thought for a moment, this she-wolf is now in such a bad state, injured for so long, shed so much blood, but also insisted on giving birth to cubs, have to replenish its physical strength, he turned around and rummaged through his backpack, fortunately, when he set off, he brought some ham and goat's milk.
The she-wolf ate the ham, and Zhou Langzhong fed the goat's milk to several wolf cubs in turn.
The she-wolf who had finished eating ham watched Zhou Langzhong breastfeeding his child, and tears actually flowed from his eyes, at this moment, in his eyes, the child was more important than his own life, and the old man in front of him, for it, was simply a god-like existence.
Zhou Langzhong finished feeding the wolf cubs, found a few small branches next to them, and laboriously pulled the clips on the legs of the she-wolf apart, good guys, the wound was deep and bone-deep, it should be in the process of giving birth to the cubs, constantly struggling, aggravating the injury.
Zhou Langzhong has treated countless people for trauma in his life, but the strength of the she-wolf still makes him very moved.
Zhou Langzhong took out his best ointment, carefully applied it to the she-wolf, and then wrapped it inside and out with a gauze, clamped it with three small branches, and then fixed it. In the process, the she-wolf did not say a word, perhaps numb!
After bandaging the wound of the she-wolf, the ointment in Zhou Langzhong worked miraculously, and soon the pain was alleviated, and the exhausted she-wolf passed out.
Zhou Langzhong looked at the sky, it should be around 3 p.m., the time is still early, he looked at a few small wolf cubs, the she-wolf should not be able to walk in 2 days, now the physical strength is so poor, it is not yet able to produce milk, the cubs are afraid of being starved to death.
Zhou Langzhong thought about it for a moment, turned around and picked up his backpack, and walked quickly down the mountain. After walking for about 1 and a half hours, fortunately there was a family at the bottom of the mountain, and Zhou Langzhong had seen several times of illness for their family, and they were very familiar with each other.
He and the master's family on credit a piece of meat and a bowl of soy milk, originally wanted to send the master's family a little herbs, but the people refused to accept it, saying that they had been taken care of by Zhou Langzhong a lot over the years, and it was too late to thank them.
Zhou Langzhong was no longer polite, took something and rushed to the mountain, back to the trap, the she-wolf was still asleep, and several wolf cubs had just finished drinking goat's milk and also slept.
Zhou Langzhong put the meat on top of the leaves, dug a small pit, and put the bowl of soy milk into it.
This mountain area often rains, Zhou Langzhong is still not very assured, just sit quietly next to it for 3 hours, until the she-wolf wakes up, Zhou Langzhong pointed to the piece of meat, and soy milk, the she-wolf will understand, weakly nodded, Zhou Langzhong went down the mountain in the dark.
The next day, Zhou Langzhong got up early in the morning, prepared a few pieces of cured meat and a large bottle of goat milk, and went up the mountain, back to the old place, the she-wolf smelled his smell, and happily raised her head, the piece of meat had been eaten by it, it was estimated that in two days, there should be milk.
Zhou Langzhong examined the wound of the she-wolf, and the beast's physique was so powerful that it began to heal in less than a day.
He disinfected the she-wolf's wound and replied it. The wolf cubs were then fed goat's milk, and the remaining goat's milk was enough for them to drink once. After doing these things, Zhou Langzhong went down the mountain and went home.
On the third day, Zhou Langzhong received an emergency room, busy for a day, and came home at night, thinking of the she-wolf, but it was already dark, and he could only go to see it again tomorrow.
But when he got there on the fourth day, the she-wolf was no longer there, and it was not known whether she had been found by her race or eaten by other beasts. Zhou Langzhong shook his head, "That's it, he's done his job."
Wolves repay the favor
Half a year had passed, Zhou Langzhong took medicine every day, treated the villagers, and his busy life made him have no time to think about the she-wolf.
On this day, he treated a child in a neighboring village, and near noon, the master's family did everything to stay at home to eat, but Zhou Langzhong refused on the grounds that there was something in the family.
When he returned to the door of his home, suddenly there was a noise at the entrance of the village, and suddenly the bell of the village chief's house rang loudly, which was only sounded by major accidents and disasters.
Just as I was about to call on my family to see what was going on, suddenly there was a noisy footstep outside, and several villagers shouted: "The wolves are coming, don't go out, close the door." Zhou Langzhong hurried home and closed the door, fortunately it was noon, the family was preparing to eat, heard the movement outside, everyone was lying at the window, listening to the sounds outside.
Suddenly, I don't know who shouted, "I went to the old Zhou family, and I went to the old Zhou family." ”
When the old lady of the Zhou family heard this, she fell off the kang in fright. Zhou Langzhong stared nervously outside, and saw that there were more than 30 wild wolves pouring into his yard, but what puzzled him was that each wolf had one or two animals in its mouth, rabbits, pheasants, spores, and all kinds of tricks.
After a while, the yard was full of prey as tall as a hill, after the wolves put down their prey, they immediately turned around and left, leaving 5 wolves there, led by a she-wolf, only to see it limping, turning and turning to the door, with the 4 little wolves behind him to worship, Zhou Langzhong found that this is not the she-wolf he saved half a year ago!
This incident was rumored to be a good story in the local area for a while, saying that Zhou Langzhong accumulated good deeds and virtues, and the wolves came to repay the favor with their clans.
In the following years, every winter, the wolves would send several prey, often dozens of them, and the Zhou family could not finish eating, so they distributed it to the villagers.
Until 1988, when Zhou Langzhong died, the wolves did not know how to learn the news.
During the day, perhaps afraid of disturbing the villagers, until the evening, the 5 wild wolves that were saved by Zhou Langzhong came to the front of the spirit hall and put the wild fruits next to the coffin of the old man in turn, and the she-wolf who was the leader actually shed tears, perhaps the scene of the old man bandaging his wounds and feeding his children still echoed in his mind.
