Mrs. Xiao stroked the child's hair and said softly, "This is my child, named Abaoji." There was love in his voice. Liu Yu said: "Mrs. Xiao, you fled to our Central Plains for Abaoji, right?" Mrs. Xiao smiled: "Don't call me Mrs. Xiao, call me Sister Xiao, I'm not a few years older than you." Then he said: "Yes, in fact, it is not me who Yelu Shilu wants to kill, but my Abaoji. He said to me, "If I am willing to hand over my Abaoji, he will take me as a concubine."

"But how can I, as a mother, see my child die, and how can I promise to marry him? One night he led a raid on our cattle, sheep and tents, killed my husband Bahai and my father-in-law Yunde, and took our people captive. He knew that my child, Abaoji, was Bahai's dearest flesh and blood, and was the heir of the Yelu clan, so he thought about killing my Abaoji day and night.

"I took my Abao machine and returned to my mother's Xiao clan. Spend the night in this tent tonight, and spend the night in that tent tomorrow, lest one day Jelu Shilu suddenly come and kill my child, Abaoji. Later, Yelu Shilu really came and brought a rich gift to the Xiao family. These gifts were too rich for the elders of the clan to refuse, so if my father refused to accept them, the elders would not agree to them, and it would bring great chaos to the clan.

"So my father secretly sewed a particularly wide robe for me, and the underside of this robe was big enough to hide my Abaoji. When my father handed Abaoji into my hands, he was already groggy and couldn't wake up no matter how much he shouted. My father told me that he had given Abaoji a medicine called 'Thousand Days of Drunkenness', and that he would not wake up for a month and that he would not need to eat much. ”

Liu Yu asked: "That day, you deliberately dropped the antidote of the 'Sevenfold Peach Blossom Miasma' into your skirt, just to feed Abaoji, right?" Mrs. Xiao smiled: "Yes, what mother doesn't think about her child first when she encounters something? If there was only one antidote at that time, I would also leave it to my Abaoji." ”

She continued her story, "My father ordered a hundred brave warriors to escort me south to the Central Plains to escape the murderous Jerush. I sat in the middle of the chariot and they carried me. No one can see that there is still a hidden Abaoji under my skirt. Along the way, even the tribes who were friendly with Jerushhrus were deceived by me. But Yelu Shilu was not relieved after all, and he sent Yue Wuwu to chase after our mother and son.

"The Yue Wu is a dwarf, very short. When he was a child, he hunted with others, and the others brought back several hares and deer, but he could not even catch half a goose. Because of his short stature, he could not even climb a horse, let alone pull a bow and arrow, so he was often teased by his companions. I don't know when he began to delve into those traps, and the wild food he caught grew day by day, and slowly, among his companions, no one could compare to him.

Everyone thought that life would go on like this, but one night, Yue Wu's tent was surrounded by dense traps. The next day, none of his companions survived. When Yi Lijin of the Yue Wu tribe learned about it, he sent someone to arrest him. Therefore, Yue Wumuli defected to Jerusher, and under the protection of Jerusher, no one could touch him. He had helped Jerusherus kill many of the people who were threatening, and he was very much appreciated by him.

"These warriors that my father gave me are no match for the Yue Wu. On my way to the Central Plains, they died tragically one after another at the hands of Yue Wumuli. When I fled to the borders of Yunzhou, there were only five of the most astute warriors left by my side. We were too tired to go to the farmhouse for fear that we would be discovered by the Yue Wu, so we settled down in the woods. Unexpectedly, Yue Wuwuli discovered our traces and sent people to lay many traps around us overnight. If you hadn't taken me into that poison circle, I might have been caught by that Yue Wuwu Leave a long time ago!"

Liu Yu said: "That Yue Wu room, I once saw him by the river. He fell for Hua Sanniang's 'Five Gu San', and now he must be very uncomfortable. A bad guy like him deserves such a punishment. Mrs. Xiao smiled, touched Liu Yu's head and said, "Actually, my sister is not a good person, when you walked out of the cellar, my sister didn't let you hide behind you, do you hate me?"

Liu Yu's eyes widened, and he said with a straight face: "Sister Xiao, I never thought of hiding behind you and using you as a shield." Mrs. Xiao said: "In this way, I misused the heart of a villain to spend the belly of a gentleman." In fact, I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid that after I die, my Abaoji will have no one to take care of me, and I won't be able to live!" she said, two lines of tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.

Liu Yu comforted: "Don't cry, don't cry, Sister Xiao." You hid Abaoji very well before, if it weren't for Brother Immortal's eyes being too powerful, in fact, no one would have been able to find him. Mrs. Xiao asked, "Is the brother you are talking about the most handsome of the five?" It is estimated that the hundred most beautiful Khitan men together are not as good as him!"

Liu Yu said: "Yes, it's him." He's so much more beautiful than I am, and I have a scar on my face now, but it's uglier. As he spoke, he touched the unhealed sword wound on his right cheek with his hand, looking depressed. Mrs. Xiao's right hand was gently placed on his small shoulder, and comforted: "Not all girls like beautiful men, although you have a wound on your face, you have a good heart, even I like you." ”

Liu Yu said: "My father said that I am not called good-hearted, but stupid." He named me Liu Yu, which means that I am a very bad horse, compared to those thousands of horses, it is simply 'one heaven and one earth'. Mrs. Xiao said with a smile: "But 'ten horses, the merit is not reluctant'!"

Liu Yuqi said: "Hey, why do you say the same thing to my father? Mrs. Xiao said: "Of course I know this sentence, but I have been in Chang'an City at the feet of your Son of Heaven for several years, and I have read four or five Chinese poetry books, not to mention four or five books." Your father gave you this name because he wanted you to work hard and get ahead in the future. In this world, there is no parent who doesn't want their children to be good!"

When Liu Yu heard Mrs. Xiao say, he actually cried out loud, and his longing for his parents these days poured out of his chest. Mrs. Xiao gently patted him on the back and listened to him cry silently for a long time. Liu Yu stopped crying and said, "Sister Xiao, my father was poisoned by Hua Sanniang's 'Divine Clam Oil', and my mother took him to Jiangnan to find my uncle for treatment, do you think it can be cured?" Mrs. Xiao asked, "What is your uncle's name?"

Liu Yu said: "My mother's surname is Fu, my uncle is also surnamed Fu, and others call my uncle 'Jade Fuzi'." Mrs. Xiao said: "I don't know many of you Central Plains people, but I still know a few famous people, including your uncle." Since he is so famous, he must be very capable, and he will definitely be able to cure your father, don't worry!"

When Liu Yu heard Mrs. Xiao say this, she immediately grinned and blossomed, and her nostrils blew out a big snot bubble, and said, "Sister Xiao, I am so happy to hear you say this." If my father is fine, I won't be afraid of anything!" Mrs. Xiao said: "You are not afraid! You are such a brave little man, why didn't your uncle teach you kung fu?"

Liu Yu said: "Sister Xiao, I have never seen my uncle. However, I heard my brother say that my uncle likes beautiful and smart people, I am neither beautiful nor smart, and my uncle will definitely not like me, let alone teach me martial arts. Mrs. Xiao smiled: "Then do you hate your uncle?" Liu Yu said: "Since he doesn't like me, then I won't bother him." As long as he can cure my father, even if he doesn't like me, I admire him in my heart, so why hate him?"

The two of them talked for a long time, from horse racing, wrestling and dancing on the grassland, to the Chinese New Year, firecrackers and social fires in the small villages in the northern part of the Central Plains. At the same time, the sky slowly became overcast, and the crater became cold. Mrs. Xiao hugged Abaoji tightly in her arms, for fear that he would suffer from the cold. Liu Yu touched Abaoji's forehead with his hand and shouted, "Sister Xiao, Abaoji seems to have a fever!"

Mrs. Xiao put her hand into Abaoji's clothes and touched it, and it was really a little hot. Hurriedly took off his clothes and wrapped Abaoji, and at the end, only a close-fitting cloth remained. Liu Yu also took off his coat and covered Abaoji's body. He touched it, and there was still a piece of silk on his body, so he simply took it out and covered Abaoji's body again. At the same time, two pieces of parchment came out of the silk and fell to the ground.

Mrs. Xiao smiled, "What a silly child, what's the use of such a small piece of silk, put it away!" as she spoke, her gaze fell on the two pieces of parchment on the ground.
