Chapter 11 Picking and cutting

Picking and cutting means using disability or deformity to beg.

In the past, it also refers to harming people's lives, cutting their limbs, collecting their ears, eyes, and internal organs, and using them as medicine to deceive patients to achieve the purpose of cheating money.

According to "Qing Bai Lei Copy", during the Qianlong period, there were two people in Changsha. They held a dog, which was slightly larger than the usual dog. The front two toes were longer than the toes and claws, the back feet were like bears, with tails and small ears and noses... The whole body was full of dog hair. They could make words and sing various small songs, and they all followed the verses. The viewers were like blocking and scrambling to pay money to find a song.

"Qing Bai Lei Copy" records five deformed beggars in Yangzhou City: a man's upper body is like an ordinary person, and his legs are both weak. If there are muscles and bones, someone holds his upper body and rotates it like a noose. A man's chest is a baby, his skin and flesh are combined into one, his five senses and four bodies are all in one, and he can move his speech. A man's right arm is only five or six inches, his right hand is as small as a money, while his left arm is longer than a knee, and his hands are as big as a pony fan. A man's navel is larger than a cup, and he can suck the light bayou (the transliteration name of tobacco foreign language) to enter the navel, and smoke comes out of the mouth. A woman's feet are small, her breasts are tall, and her chin is like a halberd. So there are many viewers.

"Lan Fang Notes" also records similar situations: In the past, Yu was in the capital, and he saw people making money with strange people... all kinds of strange shapes... A woman in Zhenze City Bridge, who was fifteen years old, was beautiful but inadequate, and knelt down to beg for money.

Two passengers who met by chance on the train talked about this:

One said: "In my place, there is a child with white hair and white all over his body. Everyone says he was abandoned by his parents. He has seen him wandering everywhere since he was about 5 years old. Now he has grown tall and is still wandering. I often think that he has been wandering like this in his life. No one has ever cared about him, even though almost everyone in our city knows him."

Another said: "Last year, we saw a weird man on the street. His feet were swollen and swollen, so swollen that their feet became transparent, probably four times that of normal feet. What's even more strange is that his butt was growing in front, and he rolled in and asked for money, and many people were watching."

On April 26, 1983, someone threw a freak in the trash can next to the obstetrics and gynecology department of Huangbo District People's Hospital in Huacheng. The fetus had two heads, one was big and the other was small.

This monster is likely to be a product of **.

The baby was still alive at that time, and thousands of people watched. In the early morning of the next day, when people went to see it again, they found that the freak was missing.

About ten years later, the trash can was gone, and people have forgotten about this. An elderly beggar and a young beggar appeared at the bustling train station in Huacheng. The young beggar had a big tumor on his neck, which looked like a head and was vaguely visible.

His name is Han Shaojie, and many people call him Young Master Han, and he is the monster in the trash can.

There are many strange people hidden among the people. There is a Gu seed in Yunnan who can poison when shaking hands. There is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in Shijingshan, Beijing that can turn men into women. A Taoist priest in Wudangshan can run six steps on the wall. The palm pattern of the Qigong master Wu Chuanshun is the word "king".

Young Master Han must have undergone a special surgery, and it would be a miracle that he could survive.

We will see a ghost below.

On the morning of October 21, 1996, a man came to Huacheng with a big bag. In the northeast corner of the railway station, there was an iron fence there that had not been removed. He put the bag on the ground, and everything in the bag was included, bedding, clothes, thermos, half a bag of flour, a big rooster, and a child slowly crawled out of the bag.

That autumn, the sanitation worker swept the leaves into the corner, and the child sat on a pile of leaves, looking at the few white clouds in the distant horizon. His father was squatting beside him, holding a teapot, and drinking boiled water. After a while, the child's body began to twitch, his eyes closed, and then suddenly opened and grinned. His teeth were black and his skin turned purple. His hands were stretched out forcefully, first with five fingers together, then stretched out his hands, and his two fingers were drawing hard.

The child's face was extremely angry, his black teeth bared and he let out a low roar. Passersby stopped and watched. The father handed the chicken to the child. The child grabbed it and bit the chicken's neck. The audience exclaimed. The child began to suck the chicken's blood greedily, and the chicken wings fluttered, and after a while, it drooped softly. After the child finished drinking the chicken's blood, he looked at the people around him blankly.

"This is a vampire," a viewer shouted.

"He is sick." The child's father replied, and after that, he extended the broken tea jar that had just drunk water to the audience, "Help some money to treat the child, and sell the house and land at home."

"Rabies." said a driver who had traveled around the world, but was soon denied by others, because rabies was afraid of light, wind, water, and even bite people.

"He bites people too," the father explained, "It's not rabies, but the hospital has gone to all the big hospitals, and no one can see them well. This is hysteria, ghosts possessed, and they love to suck blood when they are on the disease."

My father told the people around him that he was from Chang'ao Village, Wangou Township, Jinta County, Shaanxi Province. His trousers were rolled up and his hometown mud was brought. He came here across five provinces.

The child's mother died early and lived with her grandmother since she was a child. Her grandmother was introverted and had a coffin in the room for many years. Once, the child was confused in her sleep and felt something was brushing off her head. He waved his hand and felt that he was touching a human hand. The child saw the grandmother with disheveled hair sitting beside the bed, staring at him with her eyes, and stretching out her hands to slowly caress his face. The child couldn't help but open his mouth wide and could not make any sound. The next day, the child asked about her grandmother, but her grandmother was unaware of this. Since then, the grandmother has done many strange things, such as constantly pulling the switch wire of the light in the middle of the night, or using a knife to chop the chopping board locally at 2 a.m., but there was nothing on the chopping board.

One night, the child woke up in the middle of the night and saw a terrifying scene: grandma was standing under the peppercorn tree in the yard, with her back facing him, lowered her head, and her hair drooped. The child called grandma, grandma slowly turned her head, looked at him, and then began to cry - the crying was so scattered, it was simply howling ghosts and wolves. A black cat jumped out of the corner in fear. Grandma was usually slow to move, but at this time she was extremely agile. She bent down and caught the black cat. The cat grabbed her. She bit the cat's neck angrily and drank blood in a big mouthful.

After a while, grandma stretched her arms out and returned to the room like a zombie. Instead of going to bed, she lifted the coffin and lay straight inside.

These strange behaviors were all caused by sleepwalking. After the old sleepwalking lady passed away, the child began to become dazed and did not say a word all day long. Every time the child started to get sick, his hands and feet were stiff, grinning, and shouting for blood to drink. Once he saw the blood, he licked greedily. When the child was checked in the children's hospital, his condition worsened. He jumped out of the bed, stood his feet side by side, stretched his hands forward and horizontally, and then jumped like a real zombie, biting him when he saw someone.

Over the past few years, the father and son began their journey to seek medical treatment, and eventually the family's wealth was gone and they were left on the streets.

Vampires are actually a strange disease - porphyria patients. There are not many strange diseases, and there are only about 100 cases worldwide. A young man was caught in a village in Kaliningrad Prefecture, Russia. He sucked a woman with a knife and then sucked her blood. A 17-year-old criminal named Hardmen in the UK killed her female neighbor and sucked her blood. British doctor Lee Elis discussed the characteristics of porphyria in detail in a paper titled "On the Causes of Porphyria and Vampire". This is a genetic disease. Due to the disorder of sub-irheme production mechanism in the patient's body, the skin turns white or black and the teeth turn black. Porphyria patients are accompanied by severe anemia. After blood transfusion, the condition will be relieved.

In 1993, a shemale beggar appeared at Huacheng Railway Station, a fat woman in a shirt. She spoke in a manly tone and had a beard. When there were too many people who gave money, she would take off her pants to show to the audience.

In 1996, Young Master Han became the darling of the train station. People rushed to watch him and the big tumor on his neck. Almost everyone thought that the tumor was the same head, that is, he had two heads.

This is not a simple begging, but a performance. The crowded and turbulent audiences are not stingy. This is also one of the entertainment that ordinary people can enjoy. People nicknamed the blood-sucking child, called the zombie doll. The father of the zombie doll built a simple residence with a few thin bamboo poles on the iron fence, and a nest that shielded the wind and rain. At that time, the Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau of Urban Management was not established, which means that the city was neat and clean, but it was not established on the right to make a living. If someone had visited the Huacheng Railway Station in 1996, he would have seen a hunchbacked child in the shack of illegal buildings nearby. A mother might say that the child was about 6 years old, but in fact he was 10 years old.

There is never a shortage of people watching the fun on the street. There is no regularity for this child to get sick. As long as he turns into a zombie, jumps a few times, bites the chicken's neck and drinks blood, it will attract a large number of people to watch. Some people even come from other places to visit him, which also makes his father's daily income very good.

Since the zombie doll arrived at Huacheng Railway Station, Mr. Han has been begging for less and less money. Mr. Han has been beaten a lot, and the one who beat him was an old man who picked him up from the trash can and raised him. He originally hoped to make money with this deformed child, but all this was disrupted by the zombie doll. All the audience ran away. The child from hell defeated the two-headed demon snake.

We should remember the old man’s name: three cents.

He looked like a murderer, his small eyes were almost covered by his messy eyebrows, and he always showed fierce eyes. His broad back, sling legs, strong muscles, and calloused hands showed that he had suffered a lot. This old man had traveled through the world with a circus in his early years. He knew all kinds of ways to bind people and things, including mandarin duck knots, poor knots, jumping lice knots, sailor knots, tortoise shell knots, and back-hand knots. He told others many strange stories. The stones in Changbai Mountain floated on the water surface, the wood sinks at the bottom of the water, the crow liked to smoke, and the eels would become sexually altered.

It was probably from 1990 that I had been begging for a living at Huacheng Railway Station for three cents.

On November 19, 1996, it rained and the three cents came to the zombie doll's shack. The zombie doll's father was cooking a pot of boiling porridge. The three cents went up and kicked it over, and said angrily: "This is my territory."

"I don't know." The father replied.

"Get out, wherever you go," said Sanwen Qian.

“我哪儿也不去.”父亲将一根棍子拿在手里,棍子足有手臂那么粗,他“咔嚓”一声在膝盖上将棍子掰成两截,“我可以揍烂你的脸,”他扔了棍子继续说,“空手也行.”

Sanjin coins tilted their heads and said, "Okay, you can wait."

The next night, Sanjin brought two beggars, and Young Master Han brought a rusty machete. They stood in front of the shack and did not speak. The zombie baby's father quickly saw the situation in front of him. During the wheat harvest season, there would be such a farmer in every piece of land. He knelt down: "Please, don't hit my baby, he is sick."

"Phone me," he said, holding his head.

Sanjin Qian stood coldly and stood by and watched. The machete in Young Master Han’s hand was useless. It was bent after chopping a few times. Two middle-aged beggars’ fists fell on the father’s body, one of them grabbed his father’s hair and hit the ground, and it was a bang. After a while, the father fell to the ground and stopped moving.

"Stop." The three cents of money pulled away the middle-aged beggar.

"He's dead?" asked the beggar worriedly.

"I'm not dead," Sanwen Qian said, "He fainted."

At this time, a child rushed out of the shack. The 10-year-old child stood in front of his father. His body was hunched, but in terms of momentum, he looked more like a giant. He grinned and exposed his black gums, which scared a beggar to take two steps back. Master Han took the useless knife and walked forward. The child punched Master Han's big tumor, making Master Han scream. Another beggar pushed the child to the ground. The child roared and bit the beggar's calf like a mad dog. He pulled it up and kicked it hard with his feet, and rescued the beggar from the child's mouth.

"Let's go." said Sanwen Qian.

The child stood there, clenched his fists with his hands and let out a low growl.

A month later, the father saved enough money to send the child to hospital for medical treatment, but the doctor was helpless about the disease. No abnormalities were found during the CT, MRI and biochemical examinations, but problems were found during brain wave examinations. They adopted blood exchange therapy, which was a risky treatment that worsened the child's condition and eventually died.

When the Chinese New Year was approaching, a middle-aged beggar appeared at the entrance of Huacheng Railway Station. He wore a black cotton jacket, had a telephone cable at his waist, put his left hand into his right sleeve, and his right hand into his left sleeve. He squatted on the ground, his face buried deep in his arms, and a broken bowl in front of him.

Two people stopped in front of him, and one of them pulled the coins in the broken bowl with his hand: "That's all?"

He looked up and saw Sanjin and Young Master Han.

"Where is your baby?" asked Sanwenqian.

"He's dead."

"What's your name?"

"Big monster."

"Oh, it's cold enough, big monster, please drink, will you go?" Sanwenqian asked him.
