Folk tale: Beggars Needle

In the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, there is a beggar who only knows his surname Qi, but does not know his name, and the local people call the beggar Huahua, or Huazi, so everyone calls him Qihua. After a long time, everyone thought that his name was Qi Minghua, and even Qi Minghua himself thought so.

Although Qi Minghua is a beggar, he looks crazy and elusive, but in fact, he is very moralistic and has a very good heart.

If he wants something delicious, he will definitely share it with the beggars around him; if there are beggars around him who are sick and can't go begging, Qi Minghua will also give him what he wants to eat. At that time, there were a hundred and ten beggars in that area, but all the people turned into the boss in unison and obeyed him.

One day, when a certain family was doing a funeral, Qi asked Hua hua to ask for a lot of good food, and when he was full, he brought some back and distributed it to a few sick beggars. Then he found a place to sleep. Suddenly, a beggar came and kicked Qi Shuhua awake and said, "You are Qi Minghua?" Qi Minghua was a little angry, asked him what he was shouting at, and the beggar said: I have always known that you are a righteous person, I want to pass on your skills, I don't know if you are willing to learn?

There is a sample of things that can earn money and make a living, Qi Minghua is of course willing, he nodded. So, the beggar took out a red pill, let Qi Minghua eat it, and said: Eat this pill, you can see the cause of the patient's illness. The beggar gave Qi Linghua a silver needle of about a foot or so, saying: After knowing the cause of the disease, you can cure the patient by pricking the patient's body with this needle. The beggar then told the question of where the thorn was, the depth and intensity of the thorn, and so on.

After Qi Linghua understood, he took the silver needle, looked up to thank the beggar, and found that the beggar suddenly disappeared, it turned out to be a dream, but the silver needle in his hand was still there.

Therefore, Qi Minghua still wandered around the local area, and when he saw a crippled or sick beggar, he went to help, as long as he stabbed it with a silver needle, those sick or lame beggars would get better, no different from normal people. When he meets a blind person, his eyes will get better after he stabs him. In this way, Qi Minghua's fame grew.

Many people come to Qi To call hua for medical treatment, and he does not charge any fees for the poor, depending on the situation of the rich. If the rich man is a good person, he charges normally, and if he is a rich and unkind rich man, he must knock a large amount of money hard, and then treat the rich man. And the money from the medical treatment was not left behind, and all of it was given to other beggars.

There was a shop owner who had a disease in his right arm and had been abandoned, and he invited many famous doctors to see him, but none of them worked. After hearing about Qi's reputation, he asked qi to invite him to come and then asked him to cure his right arm. Qi Minghua heard that this boss was not very good, asked for a hundred taels of silver, and then stabbed a large hole in the right arm of this person, and did not let it be sealed. He pulled the silver needle off his right arm, and the man's right arm immediately recovered as before, and he never fell ill again in his life.

Qi Linghua used a hundred taels of silver to help the poor, and it was gone in two or three days.

A few days later, Qi Minghua and a group of beggars went to the village and saw four people carrying a coffin. He found that there was still blood dripping out of the coffin, and quickly stopped it, saying: You actually kill people in broad daylight, since I see it, I will not let you go, he waved his hand, and the beggars immediately surrounded the four people.

One person said: In the coffin was a woman who died in childbirth, who had been dead for a day, and we were ready to carry it to bury.

Qi Crihua did not believe it, saying: The coffin is obviously still dripping blood, how can it be a person who died for a day? Open it to me and look at it, otherwise you will be murdered. The man was very upset and was about to do it, but the other said: I remember, he is a famous doctor Qi Minghua, let's open the coffin for him, he must have found something. The man was overjoyed and said to carry the coffin home and open it.

When he arrived at his house, he opened the coffin, and Qi Minghua stabbed the part under the pregnant woman's heart with a silver needle, and then said: Hurry up and call the midwife, she will give birth soon. One of them hurried to invite the midwife, and everyone went out, and after a while, they heard only a cry from the child, who had given birth and the pregnant woman who had woken up.

Everyone was overjoyed and thanked Qi, who found that he had taken the beggars with him and did not ask for a penny.

There was also a high official, and a maid in the family died violently, and the maid's husband and parents all came to make trouble. The senior official said, let Qi call Hua to come, will definitely be able to save her, I have prepared a lot of money, said to ask people to put out three hundred and two pieces of silver, on the table. After Qi called Hua, he looked at the maid and smiled and said to the high official: You are really careless. After saying this, he stabbed the silver needle into the maid's lower abdomen, and the maid woke up immediately. The maid's husband and parents were pleasantly surprised.

Qi Minghua took the money and said to the high official: The next time you husband and wife spend candles in the cave, remember to close the door, don't let the girls see, so as not to have similar things. When he had finished, he laughed and went away, and after taking the silver, he soon gave it to the poor or the beggar.

There was a local scholar, also surnamed Qi, who married a beautiful wife, but his wife hated him poor, very dishonest, watery Yanghua, and went out every day to hook up with men. Shusheng wanted to leave her but was reluctant to leave, but she was uncomfortable. On this day, he wandered at the door, thinking about how to deal with his wife, and for a moment he couldn't figure it out, and he actually fainted in anger.

Qi Linghua happened to be passing by, so he saved him, and stabbed Shusheng's chest with a silver needle, and Shusheng vomited a liter of something. Qi Minghua asked him what was going on and how he had held back so many things, and Shusheng told him about his wife's situation. Qi Callhua said that he could be cured, and asked Shusheng to call his wife out.

Shusheng's wife just came out, Qi Minghua suddenly rushed up, stabbed her stomach with a silver needle, Shusheng's wife was frightened, frightened and rushed to the house, and then she fell ill, and once she was sick, she could only defecate in bed. Qi Minghua said: After she is well, she will not be like before, and she must be a good wife.

Shusheng was overjoyed, knelt down and prostrated his head, and expressed his willingness to learn medical techniques with Qi Linghua.

Qi Linghua laughed and said: I don't have a wife and children, if you can inherit my medical skills, it will be my son, I will not live in your house, you want to follow me, then are you willing to be a beggar? Would you rather sleep on the streets and help other beggars or the poor? Shusheng nodded firmly. Qi shouted Hua Daxi, tapped the student's head with a crutch, and said: "Be well, if you regret it, don't kill you when the time comes."

Therefore, Shusheng found someone to take care of his wife, and then followed Qi Linghua around, practicing medicine to save people. Every day, the wind and food are open, the sun is blowing, and even the travel is far away, but the students never say bitterness. Moreover, Shusheng regarded Qi Minghua as a father, very filial piety, and took good care of him very carefully.

A few years later, the students were able to complete the medical skills of Qihua. Qi Minghua was very pleased and said: "Son, your medical skills have become, although not as good as mine, but you are already much stronger than the famous doctors in the world, and in time, you will definitely be more powerful than me." You can go home, use your medical skills, and it is not difficult to get rich. But remember, to practice medicine to save people, we must save people first, not to make money. I've passed this silver needle to you, hurry home, I'm going to travel too.

Shusheng couldn't bear it, and with tears in his eyes, he said that he would continue to study with Qi Yinghua, and Qi Shoutinghua was furious, saying: If you don't listen to me, you are not filial piety, so hurry up. He said and knocked on the head of the student with a cane, and asked the other beggars to drive the student away. The scholar had no choice but to kneel down and prostrate his head three times, only to see Qi Shouting walk like the wind, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After the student returned home, his wife was already well, completely changed into a person, and insisted on planting the land, spinning yarn, and keeping the family in order. Seeing her husband return, she said: In the past, it was all my bad, and after I was well, I changed it, hoping to help my husband to teach his son in the future.

Shusheng was very happy to hear this, and stabbed his wife's abdomen with a silver needle, and the wife returned to normal, and the two gave birth to a son and a daughter in five years. During this period, Shusheng saved many people with his clever medical skills, but he remembered the teachings of Qi Minghua and always refused to charge more money, and the slightest amount of money helped beggars and poor people.
