东曦既驾(jia),僵卧长愁。忽闻门外虫(chong)鸣(ming)。惊起(qi)觇视,虫(chong)宛然(ran)尚在。喜而捕(bu)之。一鸣(ming),辄跃去,行且速。覆之以掌,虚若无(wu)物;手裁(cai)举,则又超(chao)忽(hu)而跃。急(ji)趁之,折过墙(qiang)隅,迷其所往。徘徊四顾,见虫伏壁上。审谛之(zhi),短(duan)小,黑赤(chi)色,顿(dun)非前物。成以其(qi)小,劣(lie)之。惟彷徨(huang)瞻顾(gu),寻所(suo)逐者。壁(bi)上小虫,忽跃(yue)落衿(jin)袖(xiu)间。视(shi)之:形(xing)若土狗,梅花翅,方首长(zhang)胫,意(yi)似良。喜而收之。将献公堂,惴惴恐不当意,思试之斗以觇之。村中少年好事者(zhe),驯养一虫(chong),自名(ming)蟹壳青(qing),日与子弟角,无不胜。欲居(ju)之(zhi)以为利,而高且直,亦无(wu)售者。径(jing)造庐访(fang)成(cheng)。视(shi)成所蓄,掩口(kou)胡卢而(er)笑(xiao)。因出(chu)己(ji)虫,纳(na)比笼(long)中(zhong)。成(cheng)视之,庞(pang)然(ran)修伟(wei),自增(zeng)惭怍,不敢(gan)与较。少年固强之(zhi)。顾念:蓄劣物,终无(wu)所用,不如拼搏一笑。因合(he)纳斗盆。小虫(chong)伏(fu)不动,蠢若木鸡(ji)。少(shao)年又大笑。试以猪鬣毛,撩拨虫须,仍不动。少年(nian)又笑(xiao)。屡撩(liao)之,虫暴怒,直(zhi)奔,遂相腾击,振奋(fen)作声。俄见小虫跃起,张尾伸(shen)须,直敌领。少(shao)年大(da)骇(hai),解(jie)令(ling)休(xiu)止。虫(chong)翘(qiao)然矜鸣,似报(bao)主(zhu)知(zhi)。成大喜。方共(gong)瞻玩,一鸡瞥来(lai),径进以(yi)啄。成骇立(li)愕(e)呼。幸啄不中,虫跃去尺有咫(zhi);鸡(ji)健(jian)进,逐(zhu)逼之,虫已(yi)在爪下矣。成仓(cang)促莫知所救,顿(dun)足失(shi)色。旋见鸡伸颈(jing)摆扑。监视(shi),则(ze)虫集(ji)冠上,力(li)叮(ding)不(bu)释。成(cheng)益惊(jing)喜,掇置(zhi)笼中。
