明季，蝗生青兗間，漸集于沂，沂令憂之。退臥署幕，夢一秀才來謁，峨冠綠衣，狀貌修偉，自言御蝗有策。詢之，答云：「明日西南道上有婦跨碩腹牝驢子，蝗神也。哀之，可免。」令異之。治具出邑南。伺良久，果有婦高髻褐帔，獨控老蒼衛，緩蹇北度。即爇香，捧卮酒，迎拜道左，捉驢不令去。婦問：「大夫將何為？」令便哀求：「區區小治，幸憫脫蝗口。」婦曰：「可恨柳秀才饒舌，泄我密機！當即以其身受，不損禾稼可耳。」乃盡三卮，瞥不復見。
明朝末年，青州、兗州一帶發生蝗災，蝗蟲漸漸向沂地聚集，沂地的縣令十分憂慮。他退到官署帷幕後躺下，夢見一個秀才前來拜訪。秀才戴著高帽，穿著綠衣，身材高大，相貌俊美，自稱有抵禦蝗蟲的辦法。縣令詢問，他回答：「明天，西南方向的路上，有個婦人騎著一頭大肚子的母驢，她就是蝗神。向她哀求，就可以免除蝗災。」縣令覺得這夢奇異，便準備好供品，到城南去。他等了很久，果然見一個婦人梳著高髻，披著褐色披肩，獨自騎著一頭蒼老的灰驢，慢慢向北走來。縣令立即點燃香，捧著一杯酒，在路旁迎接拜見，又拉住驢，不讓它走。婦人問：「大夫，你這是要做什麼？」縣令便哀求道：「我這小小的地方，求您憐憫，讓它免遭蝗蟲吞食。」婦人說：「可恨柳秀才多嘴，洩露了我的秘密！就讓他自己來承受這場災害，不損傷莊稼就是了。」她喝完三杯酒，一眨眼便不見了。
明季，蝗生青兖间，渐集于沂，沂令忧之。退卧署幕，梦一秀才来谒，峨冠绿衣，状貌修伟，自言御蝗有策。询之，答云：「明日西南道上有妇跨硕腹牝驴子，蝗神也。哀之，可免。」令异之。治具出邑南。伺良久，果有妇高髻褐帔，独控老苍卫，缓蹇北度。即爇香，捧卮酒，迎拜道左，捉驴不令去。妇问：「大夫将何为？」令便哀求：「区区小治，幸悯脱蝗口。」妇曰：「可恨柳秀才饶舌，泄我密机！当即以其身受，不损禾稼可耳。」乃尽三卮，瞥不复见。

Late in the Ming dynasty, locusts sprang up between Qingzhou and Yanzhou and gradually massed toward Yi. The magistrate of Yi was worried. He withdrew to lie down behind the curtains of his office, and dreamed that a licentiate came to call on him: a tall, fine-looking man in a high hat and a green robe, who said he had a plan for warding off the locusts. When the magistrate asked what it was, he answered: “Tomorrow, on the road to the southwest, there will be a woman riding a big-bellied she-donkey. She is the Locust Spirit. Plead with her, and you may be spared.” The magistrate thought this strange. He prepared offerings and went out south of the town. He waited a long while, and sure enough a woman came, her hair piled high, a brown cape over her shoulders, alone on an old grey donkey that plodded slowly northward. At once he lit incense, raised a cup of wine, and bowed to greet her at the side of the road, and took hold of the donkey so that it could not go on. “What does Your Honour mean to do?” the woman asked. The magistrate pleaded: “Mine is a poor little district. I beg you to have pity and spare it from the locusts’ jaws.” “Curse that Licentiate Liu and his wagging tongue,” said the woman, “letting out my secret! Then he shall take it on his own body, and the crops will not be harmed.” She drained three cups, and in a blink she was gone.
