王蒲令之僕呂奉寧,性嗜蛇。每得小蛇,則全吞之如啖蔥狀;大者以刀寸寸斷之,始掬以食。嚼之錚錚,血水沾頤。且善嗅,嚐隔牆聞蛇香,急奔牆外,果得蛇盈尺。時無佩刀,先齧其頭,尾尚蜿蜒於口際。
蛇癖
第一卷 · 第 42 篇 · 蒲松龄
王蒲令的仆人吕奉宁,生性嗜好蛇。每得小蛇,就整条吞下像吃葱的样子;大的用刀一寸寸切断,才掬而食。嚼得铮铮作响,血水沾满下巴。而且善于嗅,曾经隔着墙闻到蛇香,急奔墙外,果然得一蛇满尺。当时无佩刀,先咬其头,尾还蜿蜒在口际。
A servant of Wang Puling, named Lü Fengning, had a passion for snakes. Whenever he got a small snake, he would swallow it whole, like one eating a scallion; for a large one he would cut it into inch-long pieces with a knife before taking it up and eating it. He chewed it with a ringing crunch, the blood and water staining his chin. He had besides a keen nose; once, smelling the savor of a snake through the wall, he ran swiftly outside and indeed found one a full foot long. Having no knife at the time, he first bit off its head, while the tail still writhed at the corner of his mouth.
