"The bird is dying, and its song is mourning; When a man is about to die, his words are good. The gentleman is the third noble: moving appearance, Si Yuan is violent and slow; Positive color, close to the letter; Out of resignation, Si Yuan is 。。。。。 disdainful? Side? The matter of beans, there is a division? ”

The sky above the grassland is unusually clear, the blue sky is endless, as clear as jasper, and the blue sky is dotted with white clouds, just like white flowers, blooming in the air.

Under the blue sky is an endless grassland, and the green grassland is quiet, with felt tents and herds of cattle and sheep.

At this time, on the green grassland, a seventeen-year-old boy was lying on his stomach, looking at a shabby copy of the Analects in his hand, and beside it were several cows, sheep, and horses, leisurely eating grass.

The boy struggled to read while reading, and he got stuck while reading, and he couldn't understand or understand many of the meanings in the book, and at the same time, many of the words in the book were unrecognizable.

So the boy turned over (shēn), lay down on the grass, and held up the worn-out Analects in his hand so that it was directly illuminated by the sun (shè), and in doing so, the boy seemed to be able to understand it.

But the young man stared at it for a while and still couldn't understand, so he had to put away the book, carefully put it into his arms, reached out and plucked a few grasses, put them in his mouth and chewed, put his hands behind his head, and looked at the blue sky and white clouds thinking about his own thoughts.

The boy has been fond of Sinology since he was a child, but his family is poor and cannot find famous teachers, and the only few Chinese books he has are secretly exchanged by his mother for a few sheep.

The boy suffers from the absence of a Master, so he can only learn by himself, but Sinology is exquisite, how can a grassland boy be completely self-taught?

No, no matter what, I have to go out to find the Master of Sinology, the young man secretly made up his mind at this time.

But when you leave, what will happen at home? The boy then thought bitterly.

"Stone, stone, go home..." At this moment, a house slave named Gun'er rode a bad horse and ran to the boy panting.

Gon'er was a Han Chinese, a domestic slave in the boy's family, and was about the same age as the boy.

The young man's family was poor, and according to common sense, it was impossible to have a slave in the family, but the ancestor of the young man was the slave of the young man's ancestor, and the share of the house slave (shēn) was also passed down from generation to generation, so Gon Er became the slave of the young man's family and was loyal. Regardless of the situation in the boy's family, Gon will always follow him faithfully, unless the boy's family gives him away or sells him.

"Gun'er, what's going on (qíng)?" The prairie boy named Stone asked as he jumped up from the ground when he heard this.

Although Gon was a slave to the stone, the stone never regarded him as a slave, but as a brother, and the two lived together since childhood, and they were also like brothers (qíng).

"Go back, your dad can't do it... Gun'er replied anxiously when she heard this.

"What?" Shi was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly led a horse that was grazing, and asked, "What happened to Daddy (qíng)?" Is it okay to go out in the morning? ”

These horses, cattle and sheep are grazing for others, and under normal circumstances, they are not allowed to be used.

If the horse is damaged, the stone family can't afford to pay for it, but now that his father has an accident, the stone can't take care of it much.

"You Yayeta has just been carried back, and the shēn (shēn) is blood, and it's almost dying, why

I don't know much about that. Hearing this, Gon'er said anxiously: "Oh, you go back quickly, I'm afraid it's too late... ”

The stone nodded, and with a slight effort of his arms, he flipped over (shēn) the bareback horse in front of him, which had no harness, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and urged the horse to gallop towards his felt tent.

People who grew up in the grassland since childhood, control horses like fingers, and the horses under the crotch do not have any horse harness, but the stones are firmly ridden on the back of the unusually bumpy horse, and can control the horse very skillfully.

。。。。。。。。

"What's wrong with Daddy?" The stone and the gun galloped before their tent, and before they could dismount, the stone asked the man who was standing before the tent.

"Hey... It's almost gone, stone, you can go in quickly. Before the felt tent, a Khitan woman saw the stone come back, and hurriedly held the horse and said to the stone.

Shi nodded, handed the horse to the Khitan woman on the side (shēn), and galloped into her dilapidated felt tent.

"Mother... Daddy him? When the stone had rushed into the felt tent, he saw his father lying on a shabby sheepskin, his eyes closed, his face pale, and his mouth full of thick black beard gasping like a worn-out bellows. At the same time, the right (xiōng) was covered with sheepskin, and the sheepskin was still oozing with blood, and drop by drop fell on the broken sheepskin under the stone father (shēn), and the stone asked in surprise.

"Stone, your father, he... He was wounded by an arrow. The stone mother, who was sitting next to the stone father (shēn), replied with a sob.

"Arrows? Didn't he go hunting with him? Why was the arrow hit? Hearing this, Shi walked quickly to his father's side (shēn) and asked.

"It's just a mistake!" A Huludo householder who carried his father home replied, "Your Majesty has rewarded him with two fat sheep." ”

"What? Two fat sheep? Is a human life worth only two fat sheep? Hearing this, Shi stood up (shēn) and grabbed the clothes of a Xiōng (斡鲁多民門) and asked angrily.

"You ask me?" The obese Hulu Duo household broke off the stone with both hands, threw the stone back to the ground, and said, "If you want to ask the emperor, what am I waiting for?" ”

"The sheep are tied up behind the tent, and we are gone." Another of the Huludo households said to the stone mother and son in a somewhat similar way.

"Stone, forget it, forget it!" Seeing that the stone was still angry, the mother persuaded her, "You better go and see your father... ”

At this time, the stone father was already on the verge of dying, but his face turned from pale to flushed, and the red was extremely abnormal, and his breathing was becoming more and more rapid.

Mother Stone had no idea at this point, just kept crying.

"Daddy... Daddy... You hold on, and the stone will find you a Langzhong... Looking for a man... will heal you ... The stone didn't know what to do, but kept talking.

"No need..." At this moment, Father Shi finally opened his eyes, looked at Shi Shi and said, "Come here, Daddy has something to say to you." ”

"Daddy... Are you awake? Hearing this, the stone put his head to his father's mouth and said in surprise.

"Stone, Daddy is going... Stone's father said weakly: "Stone, before leaving, Daddy has something to tell you... ”

"Daddy, don't say it anymore... I'm going to find you Langzhong.

。。 It will heal your wounds ... Stone finally burst into tears, and said with tears.

"Shut up, don't cry!" Father Shi said angrily and coughed violently: "How can the descendants of the Great Sage Great Ming God Lietian Khan cry? Stone, you have to remember that you are the descendant of the Great Sage Great Ming God Lietian Khan, and your veins flow the blood of the Heavenly Khan. ”

"Daddy, the kid knows." Stone said in a choked voice.

"Daddy has done nothing all his life, and he is ashamed to be the descendant of the Khan, but you can't, you can't be like Daddy, you have to... You have to ... Revive... Father Stone said intermittently, his voice getting quieter and quieter.

The father of the stone is the seventh grandson of the Liao Taizu Emperor Yelu Abaoji, and the stone is the eighth grandson of Yelu Abaoji, for the concubine, after the seventh and eighth generations, out of the name, almost no one remembers that the stone family is the descendant of the Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji, to say the blood, the blood of Yelu Abaoji flowing in the blood vessels of the stone has long been washed away so that it can no longer be light.

The stone family is almost no different from the civilians.

As we all know, Yelu Abaoji implements the system of Huluduo, according to the ancestral system of Yelu Abaoji, each emperor ascends the throne, and the direct descendants of the previous emperor are subordinate to the Ganluduo of the previous emperor, and the new emperor establishes his own Ganluduo, so that there is a Liaogong tent army of the 12 palaces and a mansion. In other words, as the seventh and eighth grandsons of Taizu, the stone father and son are Ganluduo, Ganluduo households, and Ganluduo Zhengding.

This time, Yelu Yanxi (chūn) temporarily recruited Shi's father to hunt with him, but he didn't expect that Shi's father was actually injured by a bow and arrow and his life was dying.

Other than that, there is nothing else

At the same time, Liao also implements the system of "world selection", the so-called "world election", that is, "hundreds of officials choose people, must first have the surname", such as the official positions of the southern prime minister's office, that is, most of them are pre-selected by the four accounts of the imperial family. In addition, most of the officials of the imperial family, the two ministries of the imperial family, the officials of other tribes, and the military and political governors of important places such as those left behind in Wujing were also members of the imperial family.

In this way, the stone father and son are the orthodox royal family, and they are "horizontal tents" (shēn), not those royal relatives of the three rooms and two houses. According to the Liao's "world election" system, how can you get an official position, so as to get the imperial court.

But because of the difference between the sons and sons, the stone father and son were excluded.

"Although the concubine is already good, he shall not be elected in advance", "The uncle of the two countries and the nobles of the northern and southern palaces and the kingdom shall not be appointed as the official of the headquarters"

As a concubine, the stone father and son cannot be "selected by the world", that is, a white ding, at most they can only be regarded as a Ganluduo Zhengding or a regular soldier.

It can't be "chosen by the world", it is a white ding, of course, the child (rì) is relatively poor, and there is nothing else at home except for a broken felt tent and a few cows, sheep and horses.

You must know that the Liao nobles not only have vast pastures and herds of cattle and sheep, but also have a lot of land and industry in the land of Wujing.

As the descendant of Yelu Abaoji, mixed to such a point, of course the stone father is unwilling, but he is helpless, for the Khitans, if they want to have out (shēn), or "world selection", or war exploits.

But since the Liao and Song Dynasty's "Tanyuan Alliance", there has been almost no war, so the Shi family's (rì) son has become more and more impoverished.

Therefore, if the stone wants to make a difference at this time, if it wants to revive the lintel, what way should it go?

That night, Stone's father was seriously injured and died, and the price was two fat sheep.
