东曦既驾,僵卧(wo)长愁。忽闻门外(wai)虫鸣。惊起(qi)觇(chan)视(shi),虫宛然尚在。喜而捕之。一鸣(ming),辄跃去(qu),行且(qie)速。覆之(zhi)以掌(zhang),虚若无物;手(shou)裁(cai)举,则又超忽而跃。急(ji)趁之,折过(guo)墙隅(yu),迷其(qi)所往。徘(pai)徊四顾(gu),见虫伏壁上。审谛之(zhi),短(duan)小,黑(hei)赤(chi)色,顿(dun)非(fei)前物。成(cheng)以其小,劣(lie)之。惟彷徨(huang)瞻(zhan)顾,寻所逐者。壁上小虫,忽(hu)跃落衿袖间。视之(zhi):形若土(tu)狗(gou),梅花翅,方首长胫(jing),意似良。喜而收(shou)之。将献公(gong)堂,惴(zhui)惴恐不当意,思试之斗以觇(chan)之。村中少(shao)年好事(shi)者,驯养一虫,自名蟹壳青,日(ri)与子弟角,无不胜。欲居之以(yi)为利(li),而高且(qie)直(zhi),亦(yi)无售者(zhe)。径造庐访成。视(shi)成所蓄,掩口胡卢而笑。因(yin)出己虫,纳比(bi)笼中(zhong)。成(cheng)视之,庞然修伟,自(zi)增惭怍,不敢与较。少年固强之。顾(gu)念(nian):蓄劣(lie)物,终(zhong)无(wu)所(suo)用,不如拼(pin)搏一笑。因合纳斗盆。小虫伏不动,蠢若木(mu)鸡(ji)。少(shao)年又大笑。试(shi)以猪鬣毛(mao),撩拨(bo)虫须(xu),仍不动。少年又笑。屡撩之(zhi),虫暴(bao)怒(nu),直(zhi)奔,遂(sui)相腾击(ji),振(zhen)奋作声(sheng)。俄见(jian)小虫跃起,张(zhang)尾(wei)伸须,直敌(di)领。少年大(da)骇,解令休止。虫翘然矜(jin)鸣(ming),似报主(zhu)知。成大喜。方共瞻玩(wan),一(yi)鸡瞥(pie)来(lai),径进以啄。成骇(hai)立(li)愕呼。幸啄不中,虫跃去尺(chi)有咫(zhi);鸡健进,逐逼(bi)之,虫已在(zai)爪下矣。成仓促莫知所救,顿足失色(se)。旋见(jian)鸡伸(shen)颈摆扑。监(jian)视(shi),则虫集(ji)冠上,力叮不释(shi)。成益惊喜,掇置(zhi)笼中。
