Ashima’s Story
Author: Anonymous
Once upon a time, there was a place called Azodi. The poor Geluzhiming family gave birth to a beautiful girl. My parents wanted their daughter to shine like gold, so they named her Ashima. She gradually grew up, like a beautiful flower. Ashima “wears an embroidered bun on her head.
She is a beautiful girl who is lovable, and her embroidered apron is shiny. The young man is dazzled by her.” She was good at singing and dancing, and her clear and loud singing voice often attracted young men to the public house.
She is good at embroidery and weaving, and she is as fragrant as carnation flowers next to the young man. During this year’s Torch Festival, Ashima revealed her true feelings to Ah Hei, vowing to stay with her forever and vow not to marry anyone else.
Ah Hei is a brave and intelligent young man from Sani. When he was 12 years old, his parents were abused by the chieftain and died one after another. He was captured by the wealthy Rebubala and sent to labor service.
One day, he went up the mountain to pick fresh fruits for his master and got lost. He was frozen and hungry in the dense forest. He was so frightened that he did not dare to go back because he was afraid of being scolded by his master.
At this moment, he met Ashima, a little girl herding sheep. She took Ahai home, and Ahai was adopted as an adopted son by Ashima’s father and mother. From then on, Ah Hei and Ashima, childhood sweethearts, fell in love with each other.
Gradually, Ah Hei grew up into a young man. His character was like a green pine on the mountain – too broken to bend, and he became a role model for the young Sani boys around him. People sang and praised him:
- The trees in Guishan Mountain are tall and green,
- Ahei, the young man from Sani, is the best.
- Thousands of feet of green pines are not afraid of the cold,
- Brave Ah Hei has eaten tiger gall.
Ah Hei is very hardworking and good at growing crops. He cleared up wasteland and planted corn on the gravel land. The corn grew more prosperously than others, and the ears of corn grew longer than others. He went up the mountain to chop wood and cut more firewood than other boys. He loved riding bareback horses since he was a child. The horses he trained were as strong as flying when ridden.
He draws his bow and shoots arrows with perfect accuracy. His adoptive father, Gelu Riming, passed the divine arrows to him, making him even more powerful. Ah Hei likes to sing, and his singing voice is very loud.
He likes to play the flute and the three-stringed string. The flute he plays is particularly melodious, and the strings he plays are particularly beautiful. I don’t know how many girls he has attracted. During this year’s Torch Festival, after Ashima and Ah Hei confided their love for each other, the sworn siblings got engaged.
One street day, Ashima went to go shopping, and she was attracted by Azhi, the son of the rich man Rebubala of Azhadi. He wanted to marry Ashima as his wife. He went home and begged his father, Rebubala, to ask a matchmaker to marry him.
Rebubala had long heard of Ashima’s reputation. He immediately agreed to his son’s request, invited the powerful matchmaker Haire, and immediately went to Ashima’s house to arrange marriage.
Haire arrived at Ashima’s house and used his snake-like tongue to praise how great Rebubala’s family was, how rich it was, and how Ashima enjoyed happiness after marrying… After hearing this, Ashima said: ” Rebubala’s family is not a good family. He even planted flowers to attract bees, but the bees ignored him. Clear water does not mix with muddy water, and sheep cannot accompany jackals.”
Ashima’s answer annoyed Haire, who He threatened: “Rebubala’s family is a rich and powerful family in Azhadi. If Rebubala stomps his foot twice, the mountain of Azhadi will shake three times. If Ashima doesn’t get married, be careful.” I lost my home.” No matter how Hai Re threatened or lured her, Ashima refused to marry.
In the blink of an eye, autumn has arrived. The water in A’zhao is cold and the grass is dry. The sheep are not full. A-Hei has to drive the sheep to graze far away in hot places in southern Yunnan. Before leaving, Ah Hei said goodbye to Ashima. They encouraged each other and told each other reluctantly to leave. After Ah Hei left, Rebu Bala became evil-minded and sent thugs and servants to snatch Ashima away like wolves and tigers.
I want Ashima to kowtow, eat wine, have guests, cook raw rice for cooked meals, and get married even if she doesn’t want to get married. Ashima was loyal to her love with Ah Zhi. After she was robbed to Rebu Bala’s house, she still refused to marry A Zhi in the face of the coercion and inducement of Rebu Bala and his wife.
The rich man held out gold and silver treasures, pointed to the barn, cattle and sheep, and said to Ashima: “As long as you obey Azhi, these are yours.” Ashima didn’t even look at them, and said contemptuously: “These are mine.” Don’t be surprised, I just won’t marry into your family.”
Azhi made a face like a thin monkey, blinked his eyes, and cursed viciously: “If you don’t agree to marry me, I will drive your family out of Azhudi!” Ashima said without fear: “Big words can’t scare people, A’Zhu Di does not belong to your family.” Seeing that Ashima refused to obey, Rebubala became angry and ordered his servants to beat him severely with a whip. Ashima, beat her black and blue.
Rebubala’s wife cursed Ashima as “born with a mean life, and will not enjoy it if she is lucky.” Ashima was imprisoned in a dark prison, but she firmly believed that as long as Ahei knew that she was imprisoned in Rebubala’s house, he would definitely come to rescue her.
One day, Ah Hei was shepherding sheep, and the messenger from Ahei found him and reported to him the news that Ashima had been robbed. After hearing the news, Ah Hei was very worried about Ashima’s safety. He immediately jumped on his horse and whipped his whip, traveling day and night, across mountain streams and dangerous cliffs, and rushed home from afar to rescue Ashima. He came to the door of Rebu Bala’s house.
Ah Zhi closed the iron door tightly and refused to enter. He proposed to sing a duet with Ah Hei, and he would only be allowed in if he won the song. Ah Zhi sat on the gate tower and Ah Hei sat under the fruit tree.
They sang antiphonally for three days and three nights. ·A Zhi lacks talent and wisdom, and the more he sings, the more he has no words. His face turns red and his neck becomes thick with anxiety, and his voice becomes like a lame clam, which is getting more and more unpleasant to listen to.
However, Ah Hei, who is talented and intelligent, sings better and better. Be energetic, smile on your face, and sing loudly.
Ah Hei finally won, and A Zhi had no choice but to let him in. But Ah Zhi also made all kinds of difficulties, asking Ah Sai to chop down trees, graft trees, and sow seeds. Ah Zhi was not as skilled as Ah Hei in these tasks, Ah Zhi was better than Ah Zhi in every aspect. Seeing that it was hard for Ah Hei, Rebu Bala came up with a vicious plan and said with a smile, “It’s getting late. You should have a good sleep first, and I’ll send you and Ashima away tomorrow.
” !”
Ah Hei agreed to stay and was arranged to sleep in a house without a door. In the middle of the night, Rebu Bala ordered his servants to release three tigers in an attempt to harm Ah Hei. Ah Hei was well prepared.
When the tiger opened its mouth and rushed toward him, he took out his bow and arrow, pointed it at the tiger, “Li Li Xiu”. He shot three arrows in a row and killed the tiger. The next day, Rebu Bala The father and son were surprised to see the tiger die.
They had nothing to do and were at a loss for words, so they promised to release Ashima. But when Ah Hei walked out of the gate to wait, Rebubala immediately closed the gate and broke his promise and refused to release Ashima.
Ah Hei couldn’t bear it any longer, so he immediately drew his bow and shot three arrows in a row. The first arrow hit the main door, and the door was immediately opened; the second arrow hit the pillar of the hall, making the house buzz; the third arrow hit the altar table, causing the table to shake. Rebubala was frightened and quickly ordered the servants to pull out the arrows on the altar table.
However, the arrow seemed to have taken root and no one could pull it out. He had no choice but to ask someone to open the dark cell door, release Ashima, and plead with her: “As long as you pull out the arrow, I will let you go home immediately.” Ashima looked at Rebubala with disdain and left. He went forward and gently pulled out the arrow like picking flowers, and then left Rebubala’s house with Ah Hei.
Rebubala and his son watched helplessly as Ah Hei took Ashima away. They were very unconvinced, but they did not dare to stop her. The vicious-hearted Rebubala and his son refused to give up, and came up with a cruel plan. They knew that Ah Hei and Ashima had to pass by the foot of Twelve Cliffs to go home, so they colluded with the cliff god to turn the small river at the foot of the cliff into a big river and drown Ah Hei and Ashima.
Rebubala and his son took their servants with them to take advantage of the flash flood to open up the rocks in the upper reaches of the river before Ahei and Ashima crossed the river. Just as Ah Hei and Ashima were crossing the river, the flood rolled in and Ashima was sucked into the whirlpool.
Ah Hei only heard Ashima shouting “Brother Ah Hei, come and save me” and was never seen again. Her voice, no trace of her was seen.
Ashima disappeared. Ah Hei struggled ashore and looked for Ashima everywhere. He searched and searched, until the sky cleared up, and the big river turned into a small river, but he couldn’t find Ashima. He shouted loudly: “Ashima! Ashima! Ashima!” However, he only heard the same voice answering from the top of the twelve cliffs: “Ashima! Ashima! Ashima!”
It turns out that the girl Yingshan Ge on the Twelve Cliffs saw Ashima being swept away by the flood, so she jumped into the whirlpool, drove away the flood, rescued Ashima, and lived together on the Twelve Cliffs. Ashima became Shi Feng the God of Card Drawing (Echo God). From then on, she would answer how you called her.
Ah Hei lost Ashima, but he missed her all the time. Every day when he was eating, he would hold the rice bowl and walk out of the door, shouting to Shiyazi: “Ashima! Ashima!” Ashima, who was standing on the stone cliff, responded: “Ashima”!
Ashima”.
When my father and mother went out to do work, they shouted to Shiyazi: “How are you, Dad? Yes! How are you? Ashima!” Ashima, who was standing on the stone cliff, responded in the same way: “Dad, how are you?” Damn good? Yeah! Good? Ashima!”
The friends played the three-stringed string instrument, played the flute, and sang folk songs to Ashima on the stone cliff under the stone cliff where Ashima stood. Ashima on the stone cliff would also respond to the sound of the sharp strings. , melodious flute sounds, and singing folk songs.
Ashima’s voice will always echo in the stone forest; her figure has turned into stone and will always be with her fellow villagers.
