The Legend of Ashima

Once upon a time, there was a couple in the Azudi region of the Yi Sani people, who lived in grass huts by farming for a living. They had a brave son named Ahei and gave birth to a lovely daughter named Ashima.

The longer Ashima is, the better it looks, and her name spreads everywhere. When she was sixteen years old, she was able to work in the fields with Ahego. The brother plowed the ground in front, and the younger sister followed closely behind to sow seeds, step by step. Ashima grew to be seventeen years old, really beautiful, wearing an embroidered bun head, wearing an embroidered waist, who sees who loves, everyone looks at the flower eyes. Mom saw her daughter grow up and quietly asked her what kind of young offspring she liked. She said: "The two streams of clear water come together, and the green pine and cypress are not separated. Spring and summer sowing and autumn harvest, agricultural work piles can afford it. Such a person is what I want. Dancing smiling faces open, flute blowing birds come. Only then will I rejoice in such a person. "The young people in the Aji area are secretly in love with her.

There was a rich man with a black heart named Rebubala, who wanted to marry his son Azhi, so he asked Haie to be a matchmaker. He boasted to the matchmaker: "As long as you ask my son to ask Ashima to be his daughter-in-law, the gift is that you can grab the gold, the silver you can take, and the goats and sheep you can pull to the house." Hai Heat listened to the music crazy, like a nasty monkey going down the mountain to steal crops, hurried to Azur bottom, and entered Ashima's house. He said to Ashima, "The rich man Rebubala, the great family is great, the silver is built on the roof trusses, and the gold is made of bricks and tiles." Where to find such a good family? If Ashima wants to marry, she should find such a mother-in-law!" Ashima was very angry when she heard this, and she said, "Clear water and muddy water cannot be mixed together, and I will never marry the Rebubala family; Sheep and jackals cannot be friends, and I will never marry the Rebubala family. Hai Heat became angry and threatened her: "The words spoken by Rebubala are like stones pressing tender buds." His family wants to marry you, and if you don't marry, you have to marry!" Ashima replied firmly, "If you don't marry, a hundred don't marry, you have the ability to marry!"

The Rebubala family really sent people to rob their relatives, and there were so many people and horses that they were like black clouds, and yellow dust rolled along the way. They pushed Ashima's parents away, grabbed the lovely Ashima, and pulled her into the car. Ashima suppressed her tears and shouted loudly: "Daddy and mother, quickly call Brother Ahe to go home, and quickly ask Brother to save me!"

Unfortunately, Ahego went to the distance to herd sheep. That night, he dreamed that the courtyard of his home was flooded, and the big snake spat out a red core in front of the hall. He had a premonition that something was wrong at home and rushed home in three days and three nights. Knowing that Ashima had been snatched away by the rich man with a black heart, he did not say a word, picked up a bow and arrow, jumped on a yellow horse, and went to rescue his sister. The horse bell rang the jade bird, and Ahego soon came to Therabala's house. "Sister Ashima, where are you?" Ahego's roar shook the earth.

The rich young master Ah Zhi stopped Ah Hei and did not allow him to enter the door. Ah Zhi also deliberately came up with a difficult problem, to compete with Ah Hei to sing, cut trees, pick up trees, sow seeds, and pick up seeds, saying that only when Ah Hei wins all the competitions can he let his brothers and sisters meet. The song begins. The more Ah Hei sings the more spiritual, the song is like knowing; Ah Zhi sang with a blushing face and a thick neck, and his voice was as ugly as a toad. The cutting of the tree begins. Ah Hei picked up a sharp axe and cut down three large pieces at once, and the Rebubala father and son swung two axes to cut down a small piece. The pick-up of trees begins. Ah Hei's hand was fast, and he connected three large pieces: The rebubala father and son took half a day to pick up a small piece. In the end, the game was sown and seeded, and Ahei was as fast as ever, and the Rebubala father and son all lost.

Rebubala had a bad heart and invited Ah Hei into the door, planning to let the evil tiger hurt people in the middle of the night. Ashima picked up the string of her mouth and informed her brother, "The rich man is in a hurry to lose the game, and tonight he will let the tiger harm his brother." Ah Hei had a number in mind. In the middle of the night, he hid at the entrance of the ladder and waited for the tiger to rush up. When the tiger got on, Ah Hei shot three arrows in a row, and the tiger immediately fell to the ground and died. The next morning, when the rebubala father and son saw the dead tiger, they were so frightened that their whole body trembled, so they had to agree to let their sister see their brother.

Ah Hei led the horse out of the gate, and the gate was closed. It turned out that Rebubala had changed again and still did not let go of Ashima. Ah Hei shot three arrows in a row: the first arrow hit the gate, the second arrow hit the pillar of the hall house, and the third arrow hit the table of the hall house. The whole courtyard shook, and seeing the house collapse, Rebubala panicked. He instructed all his family members to draw the arrows, but the arrows seemed to be rooted and motionless. The rich man found five cows to drag, and the arrows did not move a single bit. The rich man with the black heart had no choice but to ask Ashima: "Ashima, the golden arrow belongs to your family, and I will listen to you, as long as you pull out the arrow, we will let you go home." Ashima shouted her brother's name in her mouth, and drawing an arrow was as easy as picking a flower. Rebubala opened the door, and the brothers and sisters finally met and hurried home.

Rebubala was not willing to fail and wanted to conspire against the brothers and sisters. They knew that the terrain at the foot of the Twelve Cliffs was dangerous, so they told the cliff god to cut off the road. The horse bell rang and the jade birds chirped, and the two brothers and sisters hurried home. They went to the foot of the Twelve Cliffs and found that the small river had become a big river, and the flood was really frightening. If the brother walks in front, the younger sister will not be able to cross the river; If the younger sister walked in front, the older brother would not be able to cross the river. So, the brothers and sisters held hands and prepared to cross the river together. Ah, a huge wave came, and the lovely Ashima was swept into the whirlpool and disappeared. Ah Hei shouted urgently, "Ashima! Ashima! Ashima!" On the top of the Twelve Cliffs, it seems that someone else answered, "Ashima! Ashima! Ashima!" Since then, the lovely Ashima, the best girl on the ground and the most beautiful flower in the sky, has become an echo of the Twelve Cliffs. If you go to the Twelve Cliffs and you call out to her, she will respond to you.
