[Edit this paragraph] Original text

Chu's family was poor. After reading Huainan Fang, he learned that "mantis feeds on cicadas and can be invisible", so he picked leaves under the tree-mantis held the leaves and waited for cicadas to pick them. Leaves fall under the tree, and leaves fall under the tree first, which can't be separated. Sweep came back from several fights, with leaves one by one, and asked his wife, "Have you seen me?" My wife always answers "yes" at first, but after a long time, she gets tired and disappears. Silently overjoyed, Ye walked into the opposite market and took people with him. Officials then bound Yixian. When the county magistrate was resigned, he told the whole story again, but the officials just laughed and walked away.

[Edit this paragraph] Translation

There was a man in the state of Chu who lived in poverty. He once read the book Huainan Fang and saw that it said, "Mantis can cover his body with leaves when spying on cicadas, so he can hide his body in this way." So he leaned down under the tree and picked the leaves-the leaves that mantis made invisible when spying on cicada, to pick it. This leaf fell under the tree, and there were many fallen leaves under the tree, so it was impossible to tell which one was the invisible leaf of mantis. The Chu people picked several baskets of leaves under the tree and took them home. They covered themselves with leaves one by one and asked their wives, "Can you see me?" My wife always answered "I can see" at first, but at the end of the day, she was too tired to stand it and had to lie to him and say "I can't see". The Chu people were secretly happy, carrying leaves into the market, holding other people's goods in front. So officials tied him up and sent him to the county government. The magistrate interrogated him and laughed after listening to his words, so the magistrate let him go without prosecution.
