readx;?“ Did you see this huge scar on its abdomen? Gao Ming asked, pointing to the she-bear with her chest and abdomen facing the sky on her back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Shengnan nodded and did not speak.

"When I went down the mountain to go to university, a patient, Lao Zhang, once came to me through my senior brother, he had an extremely severe neurasthenia, had nightmares every night, and had very poor sleep quality, and hoped that I could give symptomatic treatment. But even if I looked at my brother's face, gave him an injection, and prescribed symptomatic Chinese medicine, the situation did not improve.

I was devastated and curious, this disease may be difficult for others, but for me, it is not a big disease, but why is it not effective?

It wasn't until one day that he told me about an incident he had encountered more than ten years ago, and I realized that he had a demon, a demon created by us human beings ourselves, and only a person with a conscience could have it. Speaking of this, Gao Ming's face was also a little gloomy.

Li Shengnan waited quietly for Gao Ming to continue telling stories she had never heard before. This story may be able to completely solve her confusion.

"There is an extremely valuable Chinese medicine in Chinese herbal medicine, called bear bile. The Materia Medica Sutra contains: The smell of bear bile is the same as that of elephant bile, and its owner is also similar. All gallbladder is extremely bitter and cold, and can go through the liver and gallbladder meridians, and there is more heat than diarrhea. Pediatric chancre accumulation, often cause the eyes to have a disorder, with the liver and spleen two organs of evil heat stagnation, then the two organs of qi and blood day deficiency, occlusion day is also the day. With this heat, the liver, gall bladder, and spleen will be cleared of internal evils and external obstacles.

In recent decades, it has been found that there is an ingredient in bear bile, ursobaclic acid, which can treat gallstones, primary liver cirrhosis, autoimmune hepatitis, colon cancer and other diseases, with remarkable results.

As a result, bear bile, which was originally an ordinary Chinese medicine, suddenly became the darling of Chinese herbal medicines, and the price was rising year by year. Some people even shouted the slogan "half two bear bile and half gold". As a result, bear bile, which is comparable to gold, has become a rarity, and many people have the idea. ”

"Did they kill bears for bear bile?" Li Shengnan's face showed an unbearable look, for the sake of money, human beings are really cruel.

"Hehe, kill bears for gall? You think of people too simply, and you think of them too beautifully. Not to mention other countries, just in our China, the annual consumption of bear bile is tens of tons, and each bear has only one gallbladder, how many bears do you want to kill? I am afraid that the world's bears are not enough to kill for a year's consumption. What about those consumers? Gao Ming showed a hint of mockery on his face, if it was really calculated, he and the old man, who were good at using traditional Chinese medicine, were actually one of the people who promoted the consumption of bear bile.

"Since ancient China, we have used the method of "raising bears to take bile". It is to keep the bear in a small iron cage, and then make a small opening in the bear's gallbladder, insert a catheter, and every once in a while, just like raising a cow, export a part of the bile, so that as long as the bear does not die, this bile can be collected all the time. A bear can be collected for more than ten years. Relative to the value of bear bile, the cost of cultivating those biles is almost negligible. ”

"Oh my God, doesn't that bear hurt?" Li Shengnan exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widened, she really couldn't believe that humans could do such a cruel thing.

"Pain? Extracting bile is not like milking a cow, every time it is almost a cramp and pulling out the bones, and such a sharp pain, if a bear does not die halfway, twice a day, 10 years, what kind of devil number is this, that is to say, such a torture of wanting to die must be carried out twice a day, and it is necessary to endure 10 years and 7,200 times of heart-to-heart and bone removal in such a criminal law that cannot survive. If you have to endure day after day, year after year, even if you have a strong vitality, it will definitely be difficult to persevere. Gao Ming's voice was low.

"And this patient of mine, Lao Zhang, was a Chinese herbal medicine merchant when he was young, and he once went to buy bear bile, because he was in a hurry, he simply lived in a bear farm, hoping to get enough goods. So, he encountered an incident that caused him to be haunted by nightmares for more than ten years. I still remember the tone and expression on his face when he described the night to me. Frightened and helpless, there is endless remorse. Gao Ming continued.

It was night, at the fifth watch, and he tossed and turned in a small building on the edge of the bear farm. The mountain wind constantly sent bursts of terrifying cries, like weeping, both painful and desperate.

At this moment, he seemed to hear a slight movement on the door, "creaking, creaking", accompanied by heavy breathing. He rolled over and sat up, casually turning on the light?

There was no answer, and the silence was terrifying. He reached out and grabbed a broom, walked softly to the door, and slammed it open. Outside the door was a bear cub, its chubby body curled up in a ball, its furry sideburns soft and fluffy. It looked at me timidly, and let out a meow that was almost flattering,

"Bear, come, come," he said, and the bear staggered up to him, his little palm on top of him, and licked his hand with that warm tongue, which was very soft.

Suddenly, a commotion came from outside, and the bear looked stunned and quickly burrowed under the bed.

Soon, there was a knock on the door, and he opened it and asked, "What's the matter?" "Xiong Fang just ran a little bear, didn't you come to disturb Mr. Zhang?"

"Oh, yes, here it is." Lao Zhang subconsciously pointed to the place where the bear was hiding.

They leaned down, grabbed it, and dragged it out of it roughly, and they tied the four bears' legs to their feet, and carried them away with a long stick. As Little Bear left the door, his upturned head bent over and looked at Lao Zhang helplessly, which was a pity for him.

After dawn, the foreman who led the shift said to take Lao Zhang to the bear room to have a look. Come to a tall building of several thousand square meters, which is very empty, and there are six cages flat, each with a wilted black bear. The strange thing is that they all have a bright belly thing tied around them. The foreman told Lao Zhang, "This is for bile, and the current price of bear bile is 300 yuan per gram." Then he took Lao Zhang to the first cage and gestured to tell him, "Bile collection has begun." ”

Then Lao Zhang saw two sturdy workers neatly tie the bear's body left and right, pull up a thick rope on each side of the belly, pass through a special pulley, and shout "Hi-" in unison, only to see the steel belly on the bear gradually shrink and shrink. Suddenly, the bear let out a hysterical roar: "Woo-" It was not a roar, it was a miserable cry that had changed shape, and he desperately tilted his head and stared at the eyes in pain, and the four thick palms kicked and clammed the ground in a limited space, making a piercing sound of "zila, zila", and in an instant, the steel pipe under the abdomen flowed "tick, tick" turquoise liquid.

The operator slowly loosened the rope again, and then pulled up the next round, another hoarse sob. Lao Zhang saw the bear's tears flowing down instantly, and it even gritted its teeth like a human being, and bent its body to bear the endless pain. What a tragic scene, seeing this, Lao Zhang couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and wanted to turn around and walk away. It was only then that he realized that the screams of the night were the groans of these painful bears in the unbearable twilight.

Halfway through the story, Li Shengnan's beautiful eyes were already full of tears, and as smart as she was, she already knew why the injuries on the female bear's body came from, and it must have been left by taking bile.

No wonder it looks like a madman when it sees it, it's because it's been trampled by humans so miserably.

But Gao Ming's story continues, and this is just the beginning.
