Chapter 5 5

"Counting the time of going back and forth and the days of staying in neighboring countries, it will take about two months." The princesses came to Hassan's room when no one was there, told him about it, and said: "You are here as if you are at your own home. You can use everything we have. You can live here with confidence." Come on, we will be back in a short time. Here are the keys to the various places in the palace, please keep them safe. Remember, I swear by our friendship, you must never open that door." They pointed to a door and urged Hassan. The princesses exhorted him, bid him farewell silently, and went down surrounded by cavalry.

Hassan stayed alone in the palace, feeling extremely lonely and panicked with depression, and the spacious palace seemed more and more empty.He was restless all the time, thinking of the princesses and sisters, he couldn't eat or sleep well.Occasionally, I go out hunting alone to spend a day, but I always feel lonely and bored, and I have trouble sleeping and eating all day long.On this day, he wandered around the palace aimlessly, looking in the boudoirs of the princesses, and in the storerooms where countless priceless treasures were hidden, but he still found it boring.One thing always worried him, and that was the door that the princesses told him not to touch before they left.He thought to himself:

"Sisters don't let me open this door. Could it be that there is some secret hidden in it? Allah testifies, I must open it and have a look. Is there really any harm to me? It must be that there are some ferocious birds and beasts locked in the door." .” So he resolutely took the key and opened the door, opened the door and saw that there was no gold, silver, jewels, or ghosts and ghosts inside, only a staircase paved with agate stone.He went straight along the stairs, but what he saw before him was another vast world - lush flowers and trees, strong crops, leisurely birds and animals, and sometimes the crisp and melodious singing of birds can be heard.Looking further into the distance, there are rough and boundless oceans.

Hassan wandered around in the forest, and came to a palace made of gold, silver, gemstones and emeralds of various colors, with four huge pillars.The walls of the temple are inlaid with rubies, emeralds, hyacinth stones and various other unknown and rare gems.There is a pond in the middle of the palace, red gold pillars are built beside it, a pavilion with a sandalwood roof, and gems the size of pigeon eggs are inlaid on the ground, which are shining and dazzling.In the center of the pavilion is an agarwood armchair with beautiful patterns inlaid with gold threads and colorful pearls.The flowers and trees are flourishing by the pond, and all the birds are singing together.The palace is so magnificent that even the Persian and Roman monarchs who admired luxury and luxury could hardly imagine it.Hassan was completely fascinated by it, admiring the exquisite pavilions and pavilions, enjoying all kinds of jewelry and jade that show wealth.The moving singing of the birds and the quiet and elegant garden scenery made him linger even more.With admiration, he was amazed at the wisdom of the Creator embodied in this beauty.

At this time, he suddenly saw ten birds flying from a distance, and he guessed that they must have come to drink from the pond.He was afraid that he would scare the bird away, so he got into the grass and hid, spying secretly.I saw them fall under a big tree, gathered together as if talking.One of them is very beautiful and lovely, but it looks a bit arrogant, and the other birds are around it, but it deliberately pecks them and chases them.After a while, they gradually calmed down, gathered together, tore off the feathers with their claws, and then transformed into a group of innocent girls.All smiles are like flowers, and they are as charming and moving as the moon.Ten girls are playing and chasing each other on the grass.

Hassan hid aside and watched intently, thinking: "Allah testifies, the sisters must have forbidden me to open that door because of these girls." Hassan stared blankly at the joyous scenes of the girls laughing and playing, and almost forgot about his fatigue and hunger. Until the sun went down, the most eye-catching girl said to his companions: "Princesses, it's getting late, it's getting dark Now, we are also tired from playing. There is still a long way to go, let's go home quickly." They gathered together and put their feathers on their bodies, and then they turned back into birds, spread their wings and flew away singing.

Seeing them leave, Hassan was very disappointed and couldn't help weeping sadly, his whole body was limp, and he fell into the grass.She struggled to stand up, but she was powerless. She only felt that her eyes were pitch black, and she couldn't tell east, west, north, south.After resting for a while, he staggered out of the garden, slowly walked back to the palace, and locked the door again.Since then, he was sick in bed, neither eating nor drinking, suffering from inexplicable lovesickness, sobbing all day long, restless. After three days like this, he opened the door again, came to that strange palace, lay down where he hid last time, and watched the movement under the big tree.I waited until sunset, but still no bird from that time flew by.He wept bitterly, and fell to the ground sadly, unwilling to think about anything in the world.After a while, he came to his senses and returned to the palace reluctantly.

The sky was already pitch black, and he felt that nature was playing tricks on people. He tossed and turned, burst into tears, and stayed up all night. On the second day, the sun illuminated the hills and all things, and the world was full of vitality, and various animals were active everywhere.But Hassan still didn't eat or drink, and stayed like a puppet, recalling what he saw and heard in the garden like a dream, feeling depressed and lonely.Suddenly, dust rose in the wilderness.Knowing that it was his sisters who had returned, he became more and more disturbed and immediately hid. After a while, the princesses came down to the palace surrounded by a large group of people.

The princesses entered the palace, took off their swords, and changed their costumes.Only their little sister was eager to see Hassan, and rushed into Hassan's room without waiting to undress, but no one was found.Looking around, she found Hassan in a hut. He was thin, pale, withered, and his eyes were deeply sunken, as if he had been hit by something.Seeing this situation, she was shocked and asked him how he could do this with concern, saying: "Tell me. Let me help you out of your troubles, or at least share your pain. Brother! I see you look sad. Since when did you become like this? In the name of Allah and our friendship Swear, tell me! What happened during the time we were away? Don't be bored in your heart, tell my little sister. Seeing you like this makes my heart break."

She couldn't help crying with her sadness. "Sister, I dare not say it. You will leave me and abandon me. I will definitely die in depression." "No, I swear to Allah, even if the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten, I will not leave you." So Hassan narrated in detail his experience in that garden and the exhaustion of lovesickness in the past ten days, and kept crying bitterly.When the little princess heard this, she couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy, and said: "Brother, don't worry, don't be bored. Even if I risk my life, I will do my best to make you get your sweetheart. But I want to warn you in advance, you must keep your mouth shut in front of other sisters. Don't let them know, or you and I will die. If they ask about your door, you must deny that you opened it. Don't say it. Just say that you feel lonely and feel lonely after we leave That's all."

"Yes, you're right." Hassan kissed the little princess's head, feeling refreshed immediately.Just now he was afraid of being blamed by them for opening that door, and he was worrying, but the little princess understood his feelings and promised to help him, so that he had confidence, and the worries and troubles in his heart flew to the sky in an instant.So I felt empty in my stomach, and then I remembered that I hadn't had any water or rice for two days. After the little princess left, she went to see her sisters with a sad face.They asked the little princess why she was so sad all of a sudden.The little princess told her sisters that Hassan was sick in bed and didn't eat or drink for ten days, so she was very worried about him.The sisters immediately asked Hassan how he could be so ill.She said: "You don't know, since we left him, he has been very alone. He thinks these months are longer than a thousand years. He thinks that he is adrift, and there is no one in this empty palace. Accompanying, thinking of the white-haired old mother at home who is restless because of his disappearance, so she lives in sorrow and pain all day long, so she is depressed and sick. We should understand him and be considerate of him. We will go to accompany him , comfort him!" When the princesses heard what the little sister said, they felt sorry for Hassan, and they all shed tears of sympathy, saying, "Allah bears witness, we are all to blame for this." So the sisters sent the soldiers away outside the palace. Turning around, he anxiously came to Hassan's room to visit him. I saw Hassan was the same as when he first came here, he was haggard, his pale face was bloodless, his bones were bony, and he was devastated. It was unbearable to see.Seeing Hassan like this, the sisters couldn't help but burst into tears.They gathered around him to ask questions, and told him strange things about the journey and the grand occasion of the wedding, so as to comfort him.Since then, they have been by Hassan's side, comforting him with kind words and taking good care of him.Unexpectedly, things backfired, but Hassan's condition has not improved.The princesses could only watch him weaken day by day, helpless, and weep secretly.Among them, the little princess is the saddest. The princesses stayed by Hassan's side for a whole month, feeling exhausted, and discussed going hunting in the forest to get some fresh air.After making up his mind, he told his little sister that he hoped that she would go out with everyone to relax.The little princess replied: "Sisters, Allah testifies that my brother's health is getting weaker and weaker. I have to guard him by his side, so I can't accompany you. After he recovers from his illness, I will accompany you again!" After hearing what the little sister said, the princesses lamented her deep love and righteousness, and said, "You are so caring for this stranger, it is really kind and righteous." So they left their sister behind, prepared dry food for ten days, and went hunting on horseback. up. After a while, the little princess expected that her sisters had gone far away, so she came to Hassan's room and said to him, "Brother, come on! I'll take you to the place where you met those girls." "By Allah, I really wish for it." Hassan was overjoyed, and opened the door together with the little princess, followed the steps to the strange garden again, and pointed out to him the place where he used to hide and the place where the girls played. She watched and described the scene at that time in detail, especially for that beautiful and lovely girl.After hearing this, the little princess finally understood the secret, she was shocked and at a loss.Hassan couldn't figure it out at all, and asked: "Sister, why do you look so ugly? Why is that?" "Brother, you have to know that the most beautiful girl you mentioned is actually an eldest princess. Her father is the most powerful among the god kings. His territory is vast and boundless, and all ghosts and gods belong to the land and sea. He governs. My father is just a vassal under him. He has so much wealth, soldiers, and land that no other emperor in the world can compare with him. He has more than 25,000 brave warriors A female general, she is truly unstoppable when she goes to the front line. He has seven extraordinary daughters under his knees. Especially the eldest daughter, who is brave and resourceful, outstanding. He gave the eldest daughter a piece of territory. That place would take a year to run through things even on horseback.Her territory is surrounded by rivers.Surrounded by mountains and mountains, it is difficult even for birds to pass.The other girls you see are the princess' bodyguards.Their feather clothes are fairy clothes bestowed by gods, specially used for flying.If you really want to marry her, just wait here.Every month at the beginning of the month, they will come here.When they come, you hide first, don't let them find out.this point is very important.Because once they find you, not only will your previous efforts be wasted, but your life will also be in danger.After you hide it, wait for them to take off their feather coats, and pay attention to which one belongs to the eldest princess, and hide it when no one is looking.Without Yuyi, she couldn't fly away.If she said: 'Whoever stole my feather coat, give it back to me! I promise to obey your orders! 'You must not be fooled.Because if you return the feather clothes to her, she will kill you immediately, destroy our palace, and even vent her anger on our father.Later, when her guards saw that she had lost her feather robe, they had no choice but to abandon her and fly away.That's when you can catch her.Also, you must take care of that feather coat.Holding Yuyi is equivalent to controlling her, and she will never leave you.You must never let her know that Yuyi is in your hands. " Hearing what the little princess said, Hassan turned from worry to joy and was very excited. He kissed her head affectionately and settled down. He went back to the palace with her and spent the night daydreaming. The next day, he slipped through that door, went to the upper palace, sat by it, and waited patiently until evening.The little princess gave him food and drink, and gave him a change of clothes.From then on, he waited day after day without interruption.After the full moon and at the beginning of the month, they flew like a frightened bird and landed in the garden.As soon as I saw them.Hassan immediately dodged and hid in a hidden place where he could see them, spying quietly.They took off their feather coats, threw them on the grass beside the pavilion, and then chased and played with each other.After a while, they gradually dispersed. Hassan walked over quietly, spotted the princess's feather coat, and stole it away. The girls played together to their heart's content, and then returned to the grass to put on their feather coats and intend to go home.
