同時，有南雄李科妻謝氏，保昌故村人。 At the same time there was Xie Shi, wife of Li Ke of Nanxiong, from the old village of Baochang.

囚於虔盜中，數日，有欲犯之，謝唾其面目：“寧萬段我，不汝徇也。” Held captive among the bandits of Qian for several days, when some tried to violate her, Xie spat in their faces: "Cut me into ten thousand pieces—I will never submit to you."
