諸城孫景夏學師言：其邑中某甲，值流寇亂，被殺，首墜胸前。寇退，家人得尸，將舁瘞之，聞其氣縷縷然，審視之，咽不斷者盈指。遂扶其頭荷之以歸。經一晝夜能呻，以匕箸稍哺飲食，半年竟愈，又十余年，與二三人聚談，或作一解頤語，眾為哄堂，甲亦鼓掌。一俯仰間，刀痕暴裂，頭墮血流，共視之已死。父訟笑者，眾斂金賂之，乃葬甲。
諸城的學師孫景夏說：他們縣裡有個某甲，遇上流寇作亂，遭到殺害，腦袋垂落在胸前。流寇退去以後，家人找到他的屍體，正要抬去埋葬，卻聽見他還有一絲絲呼吸。仔細檢視，發現喉部還有一指寬的地方沒有斷。家人便扶住他的頭，把他抬回家。過了一天一夜，他能呻吟了，家人用湯匙和筷子一點點喂他吃喝，半年後竟然痊癒。又過了十多年，他與兩三個人聚在一起閒談，有人說了一句逗笑的話，大家鬨堂大笑，某甲也拍起手來。身子一俯一仰之間，原來的刀口突然裂開，腦袋掉下，鮮血流出。眾人一看，他已經死了。他父親把那些發笑的人告到官府，眾人湊了錢賄賂他父親，私了這場官司，他父親這才把某甲安葬。

Sun Jingxia of Zhucheng, a director of studies, told this story. A man of his county, call him Jia, was killed when roving bandits swept through: his head fell forward onto his chest. When the bandits had gone, his family found the body and were about to carry it off for burial when they heard a thin thread of breath. Looking closely, they saw that the throat was still joined by a finger’s breadth. So they held his head in place and carried him home. After a day and a night he could groan. They fed him a little at a time with a spoon and chopsticks, and in half a year he was well. More than ten years later he was sitting talking with two or three others when one of them made a joke, and the whole room roared. Jia clapped his hands too. As he rocked back with laughter, the old knife wound burst open. His head dropped off and the blood ran, and when they looked, he was dead. His father took the men who had laughed to court. They pooled their money to buy him off, and only then was Jia buried.
