逐句解 Line by line
The old fiend said, "Little ones, when I go out of the cave to patrol the mountain as usual, whatever people or beasts there may be anywhere, I am sure to scoop up a few and bring them home to keep you fed.
那 is nǎ here, the indefinite wherever — not the nà that points at something. 撈 is to scoop up, the word for fishing things out of water, applied to travellers on a road. 養贍 is to feed and provide for dependants, and 汝等, you lot, is literary — he addresses his imps rather grandly.
Today my luck was low and I ran into a match for me."
