于七之亂，殺人如麻。鄉民李化龍，自山中竄歸。值大兵宵進，恐罹炎昆之禍，急無所匿，僵臥于死人之叢，詐作尸。兵過既盡，未敢遽出。忽見闕頭斷臂之尸，起立如林。內一尸斷首猶連肩上，口中作語曰：「野狗子來，奈何？」群尸參差而應曰：「奈何！」俄頃，蹶然盡倒，遂寂無聲。李方驚顫欲起，有一物來，獸首人身，伏嚙人首，遍吸其腦。李懼，匿首尸下。物來撥李肩，欲得李首。李力伏，俾不可得。物乃推覆尸而移之，首見。李大懼，手索腰下，得巨石如碗，握之。物俯身欲齕。李驟起，大呼，擊其首，中嘴。物嗥如鴟，掩口負痛而奔，吐血道上。就視之，于血中得二齒，中曲而端銳，長四寸余。懷歸以示人，皆不知其何物也。
于七之乱，杀人如麻。乡民李化龙，自山中窜归。值大兵宵进，恐罹炎昆之祸，急无所匿，僵卧于死人之丛，诈作尸。兵过既尽，未敢遽出。忽见阙头断臂之尸，起立如林。内一尸断首犹连肩上，口中作语曰：「野狗子来，奈何？」群尸参差而应曰：「奈何！」俄顷，蹶然尽倒，遂寂无声。李方惊颤欲起，有一物来，兽首人身，伏啮人首，遍吸其脑。李惧，匿首尸下。物来拨李肩，欲得李首。李力伏，俾不可得。物乃推覆尸而移之，首见。李大惧，手索腰下，得巨石如碗，握之。物俯身欲龁。李骤起，大呼，击其首，中嘴。物嗥如鸱，掩口负痛而奔，吐血道上。就视之，于血中得二齿，中曲而端锐，长四寸余。怀归以示人，皆不知其何物也。
In the Yu Qi rebellion, people were cut down like hemp. A villager named Li Hualong was fleeing home from the mountains when the army came marching through by night. Fearing the fire that burns jade and stone alike, and with nowhere to hide in time, he lay stiff among the dead, pretending to be a corpse. The soldiers went by until the last of them was gone, but he did not dare come out at once. Suddenly he saw the corpses, headless, armless, rise and stand like a forest. One of them, whose severed head still hung on its shoulders, spoke: “The wild dog is coming. What can we do?” The corpses answered raggedly, “What can we do!” In a moment they all toppled over at once, and there was silence. Li, still shaking with fright, was about to get up when a creature came along with the head of a beast and the body of a man. It crouched to gnaw at the heads, sucking out the brains of one after another. Li, terrified, hid his head under a corpse. The creature came and pawed at Li’s shoulder, trying to get at his head. Li pressed himself down with all his strength so that it could not. Then the creature shoved aside the corpse that covered him, and his head was bare. In terror, Li groped by his waist, found a big stone the size of a bowl, and gripped it. The creature bent down to bite. Li sprang up with a great shout and struck at its head, hitting it in the mouth. The creature howled like an owl and ran, clutching its mouth in pain and spitting blood along the road. Li went to look, and in the blood he found two teeth, curved in the middle and sharp at the tip, more than four inches long. He carried them home in his robe and showed them to people, but no one knew what creature they came from.
