逃未及(ji)远,市者(zhe)还,得童(tong),大骇,将杀(sha)(sha)(sha)童(tong)。遽曰(yue):“为两(liang)郎僮(tong)(tong),孰(shu)若(ruo)为一郎僮(tong)(tong)耶?彼不我(wo)(wo)恩也(ye);郎诚见完与恩,无所(suo)不可。”市者(zhe)良久计(ji)曰(yue):“与其(qi)杀(sha)(sha)(sha)是僮(tong)(tong),孰(shu)若(ruo)卖之?与其(qi)卖而分,孰(shu)若(ruo)吾得专焉?幸而杀(sha)(sha)(sha)彼,甚善!”即藏其(qi)尸,持童(tong)抵主人(ren)所(suo),愈(yu)束缚(fu)牢甚。夜(ye)半,童(tong)自转(zhuan),以(yi)缚(fu)即炉火(huo)烧绝之,虽疮手勿惮(dan);复取刃杀(sha)(sha)(sha)市者(zhe)。因大号。一虚(xu)皆(jie)惊(jing)。童(tong)曰(yue):“我(wo)(wo)区氏儿也(ye),不当为僮(tong)(tong)。贼二人(ren)得我(wo)(wo),我(wo)(wo)幸皆(jie)杀(sha)(sha)(sha)之矣。愿(yuan)以(yi)闻于官。”
