Dog leg

Explanation: lackeys, people who act as accomplices of evil forces.

Source: Deng Xiaoping's "The Victory Situation of Leaping into the Central Plains and Future Policies and Strategies": "Some so-called lackeys who were killed are poor in nine cases out of ten."

Modern people have gradually become accustomed to keeping dogs, and even regard dogs as their own children. But people didn't have a good impression of dogs in the past, and most of the words that came into contact with dogs were abusive, such as "running dogs", "dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths" and "the dog's tail continues to mink" and so on. "Dog leg" is no exception.

It is said that once upon a time there was a rich man whose leg was broken, and a slave saw off his leg voluntarily to please his master. The host asked, "What about your own leg?" The slave said, "I can attach a dog leg." "What about the dog leg?" "Give the dog a piece of mud." Therefore, dogs always tilt their hind legs when urinating, for fear that the muddy legs will be washed away by urine. This is the origin of "dog leg".

There is also a Li Shizhen version.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were two people studying medicine in Lijiahuan, qi zhou. One was Li Shizhen, and the other was Li Er. Li Shizhen is Li Er's lazy uncle and uncle. Li Shizhen was bent on learning some real skills, eating and sleeping without leaving books, and finally became a famous doctor. Li Er lazarillo DE tormes home rich, study medicine is not good also don't care. After studying medicine for several years, you can't write prescriptions or castrate pigs and dogs. He gambles everywhere and does all kinds of evil. The local people are willing to see Li Shizhen, and no one is looking for Li Er lazarillo de tormes. Li Er lazarillo DE tormes mixed in, with his two pieces of mouth, in the county master there to find a director's job.

Li Er lazarillo DE tormes when the leader, the magistrate said he didn't talk about the west, the magistrate south he didn't follow the north, the magistrate thirsty he served tea, the magistrate washed his feet and poured water; Treat the poor, but the eyes are bigger than gongs. When you see which thing is good and which woman is beautiful, you will try your best to get it. People in the county secretly called him a sore on his head and pus on the soles of his feet-it was terrible. This Li Er lazarillo de tormes is not bad, except for one thing: "Officials are always obedient to their bosses, having their legs broken on business and keeping their mouths shut. Without Li Shizhen, people in seven townships and eight counties around would suffer from three disasters and two diseases. If you don't look for me, which one are you looking for in Li Er? " The more I think about it, the more I hate Li Shizhen.

Coincidentally, the sheriff was in trouble and brought a lame leg from his mother's stomach. He invited many talented doctors to treat him with the respect of a county. He made a rule: when his leg is cured, he will be rewarded with one hundred and twenty pieces of silver; If you can't diagnose his ugly, short and broken legs, you will be beheaded. Li Er lazarillo DE tormes made a bet, but Li Shizhen cured the princess's leg, and wanted to borrow the princess's hand to kill Li Shizhen.

On this day, Li Er lazarillo de tormes bowed down to the county magistrate and said, "Li Shizhen is famous for all its diseases. If you call your old man's leg Li Shizhen, you will definitely get a good diagnosis. " Hearing this, the princess quickly said to Li Er lazarillo de tormes, "OK, go and get Li Shizhen for me." Li Er lazarillo DE tormes picked up the rope and ran to find Li Shizhen.

Besides, Li Shizhen, which treats patients one by one, is crowded with people who come to see a doctor every day. On this day, Li Shizhen just saved a woman who committed suicide. It turned out that this woman was beautiful, and Li Er's lazarillo de tormes came into the house to insult her while her husband was away on business. Angry and ashamed, the woman hanged herself. Fortunately, the people next door saw it early, so she quickly untied it and took it to Li Shizhen for treatment. Li Shizhen was so angry that he repeatedly called "beast!" . Just then, Li Er lazarillo de tormes came running like a mad dog and said gruffly, "Li Shizhen, Master asked me to come to you. Come with me! " Words don't say that finish, the rope is set on Li Shizhen, dragging and ran to the county government.

When I arrived at the county government, the county magistrate asked, "Li Shizhen, have you diagnosed this leg?" Li Shizhen said, "Sir, there is no ill-diagnosed disease. Look at your leg and you will know how to diagnose it. " The princess said, "My legs don't look good. See a doctor. If you get a good diagnosis, you will get a reward of 120 pieces of silver. If there is no good diagnosis, you will never leave my county gate alive. " Li Shizhen said, "OK, I'll take care of your leg."

The princess rolled up the foot of the quilt, and Li Shizhen frowned as soon as he saw it: The whole leg was as thin as a dead bamboo pole, and much shorter. Li Er lazarillo DE tormes stood by quickly said, "Sir, Li Shizhen frowned. You must not have diagnosed your father's leg. Kill him quickly! " The monarch looked at Li Shizhen, really frown. He shouted, "Somebody!" Li Er lazarillo DE tormes want is a word, went up to him and dragged Li Shizhen out beheaded.

Li Shizhen said unhurriedly, "Sir, I can cure your leg and change it into a good one." The princess said, "I am the princess. You can choose whose leg you want, and I'll send him right away. " "Sir, this person can only get along with you, draw blood together, be healthy and run fast. I think the lazarillo de tormes in Li Er are the most beautiful. He will serve you in the dark one day and treat you sincerely, which is the result of his hard work. He dragged me here just now, but he can't even win walking and running. His feet are covered with skin, which shows that he is in good health and runs fast. " Hearing this, the Li Er lazarillo DE tormes frighten prone on the ground, "dong! Knock on the door. Hey! " He banged his head loudly and wailed like a dead father and mother, saying, "Sir, I can't amputate my leg!" " Cut off my leg, I can't run with you, and I can't pour foot washing water with you ... "Li Shizhen sneered," Sir, if you don't cut off Li Er's leg, your leg will be hard to cure. Never mind, master, make up your mind quickly. " At this time, the county magistrate can no longer consider Li Er lazarillo de tormes, and shouted, "Somebody, cut off Li Er lazarillo de tormes! "

Li Shizhen took Li Er lazarillo DE tormes' leg from the county master's leg. In less than three days, the county master's legs can get out of bed and walk. The princess was delighted and sent Li Shizhen one hundred and twenty pieces of silver back. Hearing this, Li Er's lazarillo jumped in front of him with one leg, plopped down on his knees in front of the county magistrate and cried, "Sir, I've been waiting for you for several years. You'd better stay with Brother Li and come with me with one leg." He turned and begged Li Shizhen, "Brother Li, you don't look at the face of the monk, but at the face of the Buddha. We are classmates. You are still my uncle's brother. Join me. "

As luck would have it, rhubarb dog, the county magistrate, just passed the yamen, as tall as a fine ox and strong. As soon as Li Shizhen saw it, he had the dog's hind legs cut off and connected to Li Er's lazarillo de tormes' legs.

Li Er lazarillo DE tormes in a dog leg, can get out of bed in three days. Li Er lazarillo DE tormes jump, jump very high; Running is faster than dogs. From then on, people called him "Dog Leg".

Li Er lazarillo de tormes' leg was all right, and Li Shizhen was about to go back when the county magistrate grabbed him and said, "My dog Li Shizhen has been hopping on three legs these days and barking at my lobby. Please connect with him. " Li Shizhen thought, readily promised, and attached a leg to the dog with glutinous rice and yellow mud. Dogs also know that it is made of yellow mud. When he urinates, his legs are always crossed, for fear that urine will drench his muddy legs.
