《太平广记·卷四百五十九·蛇四》
于是拿来锋利的刀砍断了蛇，一块块地放在地上，弯着身子伸展不开，被缠绕勒得气闷昏死过去，接着就说不出话来，十天后就死了。
于是取利刃断其蛇，一段段置于地，弯弯然不展，缴勒闷绝，因而失喑，旬日而卒。
Then they got a sharp knife and cut the snake, put it on the ground piece by piece, and bent over and could not straighten up, having been bound and constricted until he felt stifled and faint, and then he could not speak, and died ten days later.
