Chapter 13 The Rock Mother Jin elaborates on the origin of the family

The sunset is breathtaking. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe horizon in the distance seems to be plated with a layer of golden yellow.

Yelu Abaoji, Shu Luping, Yelu Hulu, Yelu Raig, Yelu Diera, Yelu Yin Dishi, Yelu Anduan, Yelu Yange, and Yelu Aunt sat on the bank of Huangshui in the sunset, and sat around Yan Mujin.

"Mother, tell us a story"! Yelu Abaoji proposed.

"Well, children, sit down, and I'm going to tell you a very, very old story."

Yan Mujin pulled Shu Luping and Abaoji to sit beside her.

Shu Luping had autumn water in his eyes, microwave flowing, shook his black hair, and sat on the reef on the shore of Huangshui, opposite Yelu Abaoji.

The rock mother stroked her hair in the breeze and told the children a very old, old story.

"A long, long time ago, there were two big rivers in our hometown (in present-day Chifeng). A big river, called Xilamulun River, this Xilamulun River in the Khitan language for 'yellow water', according to the Han people called 'Yellow River', our Khitan people regard it as the daughter of the mother river in the distance, so it is written as Huang River."

"In our homeland, there are two great rivers"? Shu Luping and Abaoji were interested.

"Yes, there are two big rivers in our hometown. This other big river is called the Laoha River, also known as the 'Tu River', and our Khitan people regard it as the sister river of the Huang River."

"The river has sisters"? Yelu Abaoji and Shu Luping felt incredible, and they were even more surprised.

"I don't know what year, month, and day, the goddess who has lived in the heavenly palace for a long time feels that this day is too lonely and boring, so she wants to go down to earth. On a starry night, the eldest daughter of the Queen Mother carried the Queen Mother on her back and fell into the world."

"This fairy is actually the eldest daughter of the Queen Mother"? Shu Luping felt that 10,000 were impossible. Her little mouth opened and opened, and she kept asking questions.

"yes, don't believe it."

"I heard that the daughter of the Queen Mother is the Seven Fairies." Yelu Abaoji's heart was also full of questions.

"Don't interrupt". The domineering cousin's eyes were shining, and the cousin was not allowed to interject.

Yelu Abaoji looked at her cousin Yue Liduo, her smile was so breathtaking, and the cherry mouths were a little playful, and a little naughty.

"Hmm. She drove the green ox down from the flat pine forest and the water, unrestrained. At this time, there was also a god-man riding a snow-white BMW from the Mayu Mountain Futu River all the way to the east, all the way on this vast grassland. This green cow and the white horse met at the confluence of the Huang River and the Tu River, in a place called Konoha Mountain (now Weng Niu Special Banner in Chifeng City), and they fell in love at first sight and became spouses."

"So amazing"? Shu Luping's mouth opened wide in surprise.

"After this, a new tribe was born on this vast prairie."

"A new tribe"? Shu Lu was calm and his feelings were first opened, and he couldn't help blushing.

"There's a ballad to prove it. The tree is divided, the people are divided, and the chaos is damned. Eight parts live together, live in harmony, and avoid punishment from the earth".

"Huh? This is the ancestor of our Khitan"? Yelu Abaoji also opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"That's right. Since our ancestors did not have a surname in the early days, they had to take the place of residence as their surname".

"Take the place of residence as the surname"?

"yes. The Shili family has lived in the Shibuli area of the Huangshui River Basin for generations (now Chifeng City Bahrain Left Banner, Bahrain Right Banner, and Alu Korqin Banner), so they took the Shili family as their surname.

"The place of residence became our surname"?

"Yes, my children. Shili, in the words of the Han people, is Yelu, Shili, is Yelu".

"Could it be that the green ox and white horse are our ancestors? Our Khitan tribe is divided into eight parts"! Yelu Abaoji was also anxious and asked questions again and again.

"My Abaoji, the story I am telling is the story of our Khitan ancestors!

"Could it be that the green ox and white horse are our ancestors"?

"Yes".

Yan Mujin told the children that since our ancestors did not have surnames in the early days, they had to take the place of residence as their surname.

"The Shili family has lived in the Shiwuli area of the Huangshui River Basin for generations (now Chifeng City Bahrain Left Banner, Bahrain Right Banner, and Alu Korqin Banner), so they took the Shili family as their surname. Shili, in the words of the Han Chinese, is Yelu. Shili is Jerod."

"Mother, do you mean that we are all descendants of the Yelu clan"?

Yelu Abaoji opened his mouth wide in surprise and didn't close it for a long time. "Our ancestors had a surname, did they have a name"?

"Absolutely. Abaoji, you are the seventh grandson of Seriyari"!

"What? I am the seventh grandson of Seriyari"?

"Abaoji, our Khitan nation comes from the country of mythology, and the Khitan is taken from the meaning of iron. The Khitan people did not have a written language, but only carved wood for letters, or relied on oral transmission to pass on their descendants. ”

"Mother, why don't we Khitan people have words"? Without words, we will lose our voice forever!"

"Alas, my mother knows, no matter how good your memory is, it's not as good as a pen, but what can we do?"

Yan Mujin's voice was full of helplessness and sorrow.

"Therefore, with the change of stars, there are many historical stories that have not been passed down, and the heroic nature of our Khitan nation will also be washed away by the long river of history!"

Not far away, Han Zhigu rode a Mongolian horse, waved the coffee-colored ox tendon soft whip in his hand, and ran towards the shore of Huangshui.

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! ”

Han Zhi saw Shu Luping from afar.

"Moon-Tree-Flower-".

Shu Luping raised his head and looked into the distance, in the blue sky, an eagle falcon flew by, and on the grass, Han Zhigu rode a fast horse to the shore of Huangshui, and in an instant, he came to Shu Luping's eyes. Han Zhigu quickly dismounted sideways, and then, let the horse go, let it graze on the grass, and spread joy.

Han Zhigu bowed to Yan Mujin.

"Hello auntie!"

Yan Mujin smiled and nodded: "Who are you?"

"Auntie, I'm here to pick up Yue Liduo."

"O".

"Yue Liduo, I'll take you home", Han Zhigu said as he bent the soft whip of the cow tendon in his hand into an O-shape.

"It's annoying, it's still early, why are you taking me home so early?" Shu Luping stood up, showing a domineering face.

"Don't be angry, it's still early, you play for a while, I'll wait for you."

Yelu Abaoji on the side saw that someone came to pick up Yue Liduo, and he felt very uncomfortable.

"Yue Riduo, who is this person"? Yelu Abaoji asked sourly.

Who knows, Shu Luping was very generous and pulled Han Zhigu over.

Shu Luping pointed to Yelu Abaoji and said to Han Zhigu: "He is my cousin Abaoji."

Han Zhigu immediately bowed to Yelu Abaoji.

"Oh, my name is Han Zhigu, and I'm a friend of Brother Yue Liduo."

Yelu Abaoji shouted: "Hey, don't go around, okay?" You're a friend of Brother Yue Liduo, why don't I know"?

"I have heard the name of Abaoji for a long time, and it is really an honor to see it today."

Yelu Abaoji was full of suspicion, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.

"Look at him white and tender, and very gentle, as if he is a Han Chinese." Yelu Abaoji muttered to himself.

At this time, Shu Luping and Han Zhigu nodded again and again.

"But how does he know my name"?

"Cousin, you have good eyesight. Han Zhigu is indeed a Han Chinese." Han Zhigu, you also call Abaoji your cousin."

"Well, I have a cousin too!"

"Who's your cousin? Tell me first, since you are a Han Chinese, why do you live in the Khitan tribe? And how do you know my name"?

Han Zhigu's face was sad and he stopped talking.

Seeing this, Shu Luping hurriedly explained: "Han Zhigu is an orphan brought back from the Central Plains by Brother Dilu, and he was separated from his family in a war, so he has been living in our home."

Yelu Abaoji looked at Han Zhigu with a special gaze.

"Yue Riduo will talk about my cousin every day when I go home, will I not remember my cousin"? Han Zhigu regained his inner peace.

Everyone was talking, but Yan Mujin was anxious.

"Yue Liduo, are you going to leave now? Your uncle is giving you beef stew, don't leave if you don't eat it."

"Auntie, it's still early, of course I have to wait for the beef to come out of the pot."

Seeing that his aunt was full of joy, Shu Luping was even more happy.

"Han Zhigu, how about you teach Abaoji to write Chinese characters"?

The charm of words and the magic of Chinese characters have long taken root in Abaoji's heart, seeing that Han Zhigu can teach himself to recognize words, Abaoji is simply very happy, and before Han Zhigu agreed, Abaoji stepped forward and hugged his chest and bowed.

"I've seen Mr." The jealousy just now was swept away.

Han Zhigu smiled, and the strangeness just now was swept away.

Han Zhigu used a tree branch to write a few Chinese characters on the beach, "Yelu Abaoji". Yelu Abaoji tilted his neck, looking left and right.

"Huh! These strange words are like heavenly books, but unfortunately I don't know a word"!

Han Zhigu pointed to Chinese characters one by one to teach Yelu Abaoji pronunciation. "You come and follow me and say"-Yah-Lu-Ah-Bao-Ji-".

"-Yah-Lu-A-Bao-Ji-Yah-Lu-A-Bao-Ji-".

Yelu Abaoji used a branch to imitate a few big characters of Yelu Abaoji on the grass crookedly.

Yelu Abaoji wrote and read: "Ye-Lu-A-Bao-Ji-,- Ye-Lu-A-Bao-Ji-".

Yelu Abaoji jumped up excitedly: "I learned to write my own name"!

When Yan Mujin saw that her son had learned to write Chinese characters, she advised: "Abaoji, although our Khitan nation has no writing, but, as a descendant of the Yelu clan, you should never forget that you have the noble blood of the Khitan nobles flowing in your veins......"

Yelu Abaoji jumped into the water excitedly, splashing everywhere. "I swear to the Immortal Heaven that I will create a script, and it is called Khitan ......"
