iatrogenic disease

During the Qing dynasty, Jiangsu Dantu out of a sensation of strange things, people have been talking about, still can not make a satisfactory explanation.

In the local area, there is a young farmer named Wang Guilin, looking tiger back, plus years of physical labor, the body is very hard.

At the age of 20, he married a woman in the village as a wife, the two love, life is very happy, to the age of 22, his wife gave birth to a big fat boy, more he was happy even his mouth can not be closed.

Perhaps it is due to the phrase "happiness is sad". Just when the two enjoy the happiness of the time, has always been strong Wang Guilin unexpectedly also contracted a disease, and is a strange disease. He did not eat and drink all day, asked him why he was not feeling well, and he did not understand, but felt weak, food and drink, like what blocked the heart straight stuffy, so the whole day sad face, can not lift a little spirit.

His wife at first thought he was too tired due to overwork, just advised him to rest more and did not worry about it. But seeing him lying for five or six days in a row, the condition is still no improvement, can not help but also started to worry. So run around to find a doctor and ask for medicine, try every possible way to cure him, but always ineffective. The original laughter all day home, all of a sudden will be shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, losing the laughter of the past.

On this day, Wang Guilin felt even more mental, in broad daylight, he felt swollen and his upper and lower eyelids were fighting. When his wife saw it, she said, "Guilin, you want to sleep, sleep well, rest will have the spirit!"

Wang Guilin nodded his head and lay down. Who knows that once his head was on the pillow, he snored to sleep? His wife saw that he had not eaten properly for days, the strong man like a pagoda became yellow and thin, not the same, can not help but feel a sour heart, tears flowed down. She touched two eggs in the chicken nest and went to the stove, intending to boil an egg soup for him to tonic health.

After cooking the eggs, Guilin's wife saw that the firewood had almost burned, so she sat in the yard and chopped wood.

It took about an hour. The door of the house suddenly opened and Guilin came out, his eyes wide open, looking around the yard.

His wife saw busy: "You are not in bed to rest, running the yard to find what?"

Guilin did not seem to hear, surprisingly in a Shandong accent, muttering to himself: "strange, what is this place? How did I get here?"

The more his wife listened, the more surprised she was! Guilin had never been to Shandong, how did he speak Shandong?

Seeing Guilin finish those two strange words, he hurriedly pulled open the courtyard door and went outside.

His wife saw his strange expression, her heart panicked: could it be that he was more ill and did not even recognize his home? Thinking of this, he was busy pulling him, anxious to cry.

Unexpectedly, Guilin saw his wife, but not as in the past with a smile to welcome, but instead raised his eyebrows, rounded his eyes, and shouted angrily: "What are you, pull me why? He was still speaking in Shandong.

His wife became more and more afraid, crying: "You are very sick, the wife should always know it?"

Wang Guilin was first shocked, looked carefully at his wife, and laughed out loud as if listening to a very funny joke, finished laughing and said: "This is strange, where would I have a wife like you?" After saying that, he waved his hand and wanted to leave.

His wife could not help but be annoyed, chided: "Do not joke, then you tell me, what are you?"

Wang Guilin smiled faintly and said, "I am Li Chengfa, a native of Shandong."

This was heard by the village people who came to hear the sound and laughed out loud. Afa, the neighbor, bent over laughing and said, "Brother A Gui, you are good at telling jokes. We grew up crawling together, eating together, when did you split up and go to Shandong? Stop it." The villagers also accused Guilin of making too much of a scene, but he insisted that his name was Li Chengfa and that he was a native of Shandong.

His wife then said, "Go look in the mirror."

He looked in the mirror and exclaimed, "Strange, how did I become like this? My family is a large local family, I have a wife and concubines, just a nap, how can I come here?" Said, insisted to leave.

The village people saw something strange, so they dragged him to the government, the crowd in the hall, shouting, can not say a reason to come. Wang Guilin frowned and said, "Give me a pen and paper, I'll write a confession and make things clear."

Afa heard, doubted: "A Gui, who does not know your skills, farming is okay, but you can not write."

Wang Guilin did not say anything, took the paper and pencil, and wrote up a stroke, spilling more than a thousand words, very smooth. And the real Wang Guilin never went to school, and can not read a word, this is simply impossible to do, not from the crowd stunned and dumbfounded.

This strange "soul disease", until today's highly developed science, still can not make a satisfactory explanation, become a mystery that no one can solve.
