Yang Sida served as governor of Xiyang Commandery. During the Hou Jing rebellion, there was also a drought and famine; starving people stole wheat from the fields. Sida sent a retainer to stand guard. Whenever a thief was caught, he severed their wrists, mutilating over ten people in all. Later, this retainer fathered a boy who was born naturally without hands.
