A Biography of Mr. Guigu

There is a Guigu Temple next to Qingxi Mountain and Shenlai Peak. A large tomb, it is said that it is the place where Mr. Guigu’s parents are buried together.

According to legend, a man and a woman fell in love, but they were separated because of a feud between their families. The man was sad and angry for many years, died in depression, and was buried beside the road. The woman carrying water passed by the grave every day, and she couldn't help but stop and cry at the grave.

Soon, she saw a rice seedling growing on the grave. He watered the rice seedling every day, and it slowly produced new rice. She cut the ripe millet and brought it home, pounded the rice and cooked it. Unexpectedly, soon after eating the millet, she suffered from nausea and vomiting for many days. She asked the doctor to take a pulse and found out that she was pregnant.

Her family refused to let her talk and kicked her out of the house.

She built a thatched house and supported herself.

She was pregnant in ten months and gave birth to a son. She thought she was pregnant by eating millet from the grave, so she named the child Guigu.

Gui Gu is very smart and becomes more interested in studying as he grows up. His mother sent him to a local private school in the hope that he would grow up to do great things. He was also her mother's only hope.

Gui Gu is very filial and obeys his mother's arrangements. I have studied under several famous teachers, studied many military books, and received guidance from immortals, and my Taoist skills have made great progress.

Gui Gu told his mother: I don’t like to be in politics, I only like to heal the world and save people.

Mom said: That’s okay, I’m getting older anyway, and your future is up to you.

Gui Gu goes up the mountain to collect medicine and treat people around him. When poor people got sick, he would give medicine to cure them. He was highly respected by the villagers, who all called him Guiguzi or Mr. Guigu.

Mr. Guigu’s medical ethics and skills are getting better and better, and his treatment of some difficult and complicated diseases is miraculous.

People who come to see the doctor every day sit in a room full of people. There are many patients, but he is as meticulous as ever. The mother was very happy to see him, and even though she was old, she still helped her son weigh, prepare and dispense medicine.

One day, a county police officer came and arrested Mr. Guigu with an iron drill.

Mr. Guigu said: I have not committed any crime.

The police said: I arrested you to treat the county master!

Mr. Guigu said: You see, there are so many patients waiting, it is not too late to go after their illnesses are taken care of.

The messenger said with a crooked face: The county master’s illness is urgent and we can’t wait!

Without any excuse, the police arrested Mr. Guigu.

The messenger was afraid that Mr. Guigu would escape, so he was thrown into prison and imprisoned, and then reported to the county magistrate.

It turned out that the county man suffered from impetigo and scabies on his legs. The itching was unbearable. He had been treated by many famous doctors for more than a year, but still no improvement. The county magistrate gave the officers a test every ten days, and if they couldn't find a good doctor, they would give him fifty. This policeman was often beaten until his buttocks were bruised and bruised. This time I heard people say that Mr. Guigu's medical skills are miraculous, so I couldn't wait to catch Mr. Guigu.

The county master was very happy after hearing the report from the servant. He shouted at the top of his voice: Get Mr. Guigu to see a doctor quickly.

Sending someone to the cell to pick someone up, Mr. Guigu was seeing a doctor for the prisoner. The messenger was very angry and would whip Mr. Gui Gu.

Mr. Gui Gu grabbed the officer’s hand holding the whip and resisted angrily. The officer smiled evilly and said: Don’t look at me as a worm in front of the county boss, but after leaving the Yamen, I will be a worm. dragon.

Mr. Gui Gu is helpless because he is just a common man.

Mr. Gui Gu looked at the county master’s sick leg and said slowly: Your leg cannot be cured by medicine.

The county master felt that he was disappointed again, and anger grew on his face: According to you, there is no way to cure my leg?

Mr. Guigu said calmly: Well, there is only one way, change the legs.

The county master’s face softened and he said: Go to the prison and choose a strong man’s leg for me to put on.

Mr. Guigu said: All the prisoners in the prison have ugly faces, are very weak, and are all sick. They are not worthy of replacing the master's legs.

The county master touched his head and said: Whose legs are suitable?

Mr. Guigu pointed at the policeman and said: This policeman has the best legs.

After hearing this, the messenger knelt on the ground with a bang and said: Master, my legs are useful!

The county master smiled and said: Wouldn’t it be more useful if your legs became my legs? Cut it off for me!

Mr. Gui Gu first sawed off the county man’s sick leg, then sawed off the policeman’s leg and replaced it with the county man. After a few rubs, the county man stood up and looked at his new leg. , no more pain or itching, so happy.

Mr. Guigu said: I dare to ask the county master, what kind of crimes are the people in prison guilty of?

The county master said: Two of them committed murder and arson, and the rest were just petty crimes.

Mr. Guigu said: Let’s not talk about the two murderers and arsonists, but the rest should be given a lighter sentence. Otherwise, sir, your leg will still be sick, and there will be no way to treat it. It even spreads to the whole body and cannot be saved. . Let it go and accumulate some moral virtue.

The county master scratched his head and said: Now, just listen to your husband.

The messenger lay on the ground and cried. The county master said: Please, sir, I'd better heal the policeman's leg, he still has to run for me. Just go and find a leg among the prisoners.

Mr. Guigu said: He is pitiful. However, the legs of those prisoners are not suitable for use, so find a strong dog.

Another policeman hurriedly brought in a big yellow dog.

Mr. Gui Gu saw off the dog’s legs and connected them to the officer. After a few rubs, the officer stood up, ran a few steps, jumped a few times, and moved freely. He picked up his trousers and took a look. Although it is not as beautiful as human legs, it is more flexible than human legs for walking and running, which makes me laugh.

Mr. Guigu asked again: Mr. County, what should we do about the prisoners in the prison we just mentioned?

The county master said to the police officer: Go quickly, except for the two murderers, the rest will be released.

The messenger said: OK. After saying that, he ran to handle it.

Seeing the big yellow dog howling wildly, Mr. Gui Gu said: A dog is also a life and has its own special duties. This natural creature cannot be harmed.

Mr. Guigu grabbed a large weight of yellow mud, shaped it into a dog-leg shape and put it on the dog. He patted it and the yellow dog ran away in one trip. It ran far away and even looked back. I glanced at Mr. Guigu a few times. So later when the dog peeed, he had to lift his leg so high to take care of the mud leg.

When Mr. Guigu returned home, his mother had passed away.

Mr. Guigu buried his mother and followed his mother's instructions to bury her together with her father who died young.

Mr. Gui Gu later devoted himself to studying strategy, military tactics, and sorcery. In his later years, he cultivated a large number of all-powerful figures such as Sun Bin and Pang Juan, strategists, and Su Qin, Zhang Yi, and other eloquent figures. Later generations respectfully called him Guiguzi.

There is another story similar to the one above. The protagonist is Jigong Living Buddha, who was played in the TV series.

A more scientific statement is that puppies, regardless of male or female, squat down when peeing. By the time they are eight or nine months old, male dogs will start to raise their legs to pee. Some people say that male dogs raise their legs to urinate to attract female dogs and to show their gender. This may make sense, but I believe in two theories: one is the marking theory.

When a dog goes on a long journey, he is afraid of getting lost, so he raises his legs to urinate in some obvious places to mark them. The second is to talk about it in a circle. Peeing in a certain area tells other dogs that this is its territory, and no idle dogs are allowed to enter. All bitches that appear on this territory belong to it, and other dogs are not allowed to mess around. The higher you pee and the more places you urinate, the greater your sphere of influence, so you have to lift your legs as hard as you can.

There is another little question: when the dog urinates, does it lift its left leg or its right leg? According to observations, most of them lift their left leg, and a few lift their right leg. They may be "right-handed" people. Regardless of whether it is the left leg or the right leg, one thing is certain, that is, it can only lift one leg. If the left and right legs are lifted at the same time, someone is definitely pulling its tail.

Because dogs pee is so different, people also introduced this action into human life. It is said that there is a kind of dance called "dog peeing". I have never seen it, so I can't say anything about it. But there is a kind of "dog piss" food that I have eaten. It was about 6 years ago. A group of us went to Qinghai Lake and saw a kind of pancake called "dog piss" on the streets of Xining. It was very thin and filled with adulteration. The eggs were yellow and crispy, dotted with tiny green bits, which are said to be a local wild vegetable. Although the name of this kind of pancake is not very pleasant, it tastes crispy and delicious, with a faint aroma of wild vegetables. Why is it called this name? Because when making this kind of cake, you must spread the oil evenly along the edge of the pot and spread it in circles. However, local stoves are generally built relatively high, and the cake maker often crosses one leg in order to spread the oil. Hence the name "dog peeing".
