Chapter 12 12

They traveled through wind and rain until they came to the first island where the birds lived. As expected, they heard the chaotic noise. Hassan thought the sky was falling, and was immediately frightened.Later, thinking of what the old woman said, she calmed down a little, and thought to herself: "The first island is so scary, and I don't know what to do if I go back!" The old woman She Waxi couldn't help laughing when she saw Hassan's distraught look. ,Say: "Son, you were so frightened when you first arrived on the first island, what should you do when you go to other places?"

Hassan prayed devoutly, asking Allah to bless him and help him get through the difficulties smoothly.So follow them on.Just passing the bird colony, and came to the place where the beasts haunted, the whole journey was frightening, and the environment in the world of ghosts and gods was even more terrifying.Hassan was scared to death, regretting that he had come with them on this adventure.He prayed sincerely, calling on Allah to bless him, and summoned up the courage to move forward. After passing the ghostly area, I came to a big river.They stopped at the foot of a towering mountain and pitched their tents.

The old woman specially prepared a marble chair inlaid with jewels and jade for him, let him sit and rest, and ordered the team to pass in front of him, let him inspect and inspect, and then set up camp around him, having a lively meal .For them, it was a return to their hometown at this moment, so everyone went to bed and rested for a night without any worries. Hassan's face was covered with a veil, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and outsiders could not see his true face.She Waxi ordered the female soldiers to walk slowly in front of Hassan's tent and let him review, thinking that if his wife was in the army, he could find out in time by doing so.So every time a group of people passed by, Shevasi asked Hassan if he saw his wife, but Hassan didn't notice.Finally, a girl slowly appeared at the end of the line, surrounded by ten female companions and thirty maids, walking gracefully among the crowd.Seeing his heart beating faster, Hassan said:

"She is so dignified and reserved, exactly like the eldest princess I saw in Yunshan Shrine." "Then she is your wife?" She Waxi asked. "No, on my life, old man, she is not my wife. None of these women around me can match my wife." "In this way, you tell me her appearance and characteristics, so that I can know. I am the leader of the female soldiers, and there is no girl in Wag Island that I don't know. Tell me, see if I know her, Let's try to find her." H described his wife's appearance in detail.She Waxi looked down at the ground, thought for a long time, then suddenly raised her head and said, "I swear to Allah! Poor Hassan! I killed you. It would be great if I didn't know you! As you Judging from the appearance and features of the girl just mentioned, I am sure that you are talking about her, yes, she is the queen who rules the island of Wag, the eldest daughter of the king. Now you should wake up and make another plan. If you are still in a daze, you should wake up and open your eyes. No matter what, it is impossible for you to approach her. Even if you are lucky enough to meet her, there is no way to take her away. There is a world of difference between you and her. No. I advise you to go back to your hometown, Tan, and don’t bury yourself easily, and let me be implicated. Your hope is too slim. Where did you come from? Where are you going back? Don’t let me accompany you to catch mine life!"

After She Waxi finished speaking, she was worried, and at the same time felt that she was in danger. Hassan listened to the old woman's words and saw her rejecting him so decisively. He burst into tears and fell to the ground, unconscious. The old woman kept pouring water on his face to wake him up.After waking up, he looked demented, depressed and melancholy, and wept sadly, and the tears wet his clothes.He was so desperate that he said sadly: "Old man, since I have worked so hard to come here, how can I turn back? You are the leader of the female soldiers. I believe you can come up with a good idea for me."

"I swear to Allah, child, you can choose one of these girls, and I will marry her to you and be your wife, lest you fall into the hands of the king, then I will really be powerless. Allah is above Be obedient! Except for the eldest princess, just find a girl and go home with her safely immediately, and don’t involve me, don’t ask me to worry about you. I swear to Allah, if you don’t do this, you’re asking for it Unlucky, life is in danger, it's too dangerous, no one can help you." Hassan couldn't help being discouraged, but wept bitterly and chanted: "I beseech the accuser,

Please don't be too picky, For my eyes are made only for sorrow and tears. Lovers go away from me, My tears run like a torrent, Hong Feng washed away the corners of my cheeks. My thoughts accumulate day by day, But there is no response from the lover. Although I have sworn to eachother, but you betrayed your faith, Only the lonely me is left, and I walk away. the day of parting, you quietly disappear, Drunk me in the cup of pain, Never see the light. my heart! Willing to stay with you forever with love, Slowly blend into one. My eyes! to cry for your sorrow, Selflessly shed every tear. "

After he finished singing, the pain hit his heart, and he fainted to the ground.She Waxi hurriedly poured clean water on his face, revived him again, and said, "Son, you should turn around now. If I take you into the city, we all may die. If the Queen finds out that I brought you When you go to her country—the island that no man has ever been to, she will punish me severely and cut off my head. Son, you go back quickly, and I will give you countless gold, silver and jewels, so that you can enjoy it for the rest of your life Prosperity and wealth, and it is guaranteed that you can marry countless beauties as wives.

Listen to me, go back quickly, don't take your life as a joke.This is the best I can do. " Hassan knelt on the ground, kissed her feet, and wept and begged: "Old man, by Allah, you are my only protector! I have worked so hard to come here. My beloved wife is close at hand. I love her day and night." Si Yenian, how can I go home without seeing her face? I must see her, please help me." Seeing that he insisted on his own opinion, She Waxi comforted him and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. I swear to Allah, I am determined to take this risk for you. As long as I help you achieve your hope, even if I give away my There's nothing wrong with old life."

Hassan felt infinitely relieved, his mood improved all of a sudden, and he chatted with the old woman. When it was dark, the girls scattered, some went to the palace, and some stayed in the tent for the night.Hassan and the old woman went into the city together, and the old woman specially prepared a room for Hassan, let him hide in it, and took care of him personally, so as not to be discovered and lose his life.She told Hassan about his father-in-law, the king's authority, to prepare him for it.Hassan wept and told her: "Old man, if I can't be reunited with my wife, then I don't want to live anymore. It is for my wife that I am willing to risk my life. I only hope to find her here, otherwise I will die."

She Waxi was moved by Hassan's true feelings and determined to help him achieve his goal.She thought hard about what strategy to use to reunite him with his wife.She thinks Hassan's wife is Noura Huda, Queen of the Seventh Isle.The queen has seven sisters, and she is the eldest.Their father was the king of Vaag Island, and they lived with him.The old woman couldn't bear Hassan's entanglement, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the palace to meet the queen.Fortunately, she used to be the nanny of the queen sisters, and she was kind to them, so she has always been loved by them.After entering the palace, Queen Noura Huda hurriedly got up to greet her, greeted and blessed her, and asked her why she came.The old woman replied: "Your Majesty, I swear to Allah, this time I came here on a special trip, mainly to bring you a gift, which is a treasure in the world. I want to dedicate it to Your Majesty, and I hope that Your Majesty can help him solve a problem." .” "What is that?" asked the Queen. So, as the old woman narrated what happened to Hassan, she herself was frightened to death. She trembled uncontrollably, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. She knelt down in front of the queen and said, "Your Majesty, there is a man by the sea." The outsider asked me for help, and I brought him quietly into the city, and let him mix with the female soldiers in disguise, and no one noticed. I told him about His Majesty's authority, but he didn't flinch at all. I kept threatening him , frightened him, but he couldn't help crying, saying: "If I can't find a wife, I will die. I am not willing to go back like this." He risked his life and wandered all the way to Wagga Island. His will was too strong. Strong and brave, this is the first time I have seen someone like him." After listening to the old woman's narration, the queen thought about Hassan's reason in her heart, bowed her head in meditation for a while, then looked up and stared at her, furious, and cursed: "You old bastard! How dare you bring a man to Wagga Island to see me?" ? Don’t you want to die? I swear on the king’s head, if it weren’t for your kindness in nurturing us, I would definitely kill you and that man, and give future generations a little punishment, so that no one will be like you in the future. You are acting like this. Now you bring him into the palace to meet me." She Waxi staggered out of the palace, her heart beating loudly, and she was so frightened that she was at a loss what to do.Sighing complainingly: "This is all caused by Hassan." She ran to the room where Hassan was hiding and shouted: "Young man! Come with me, the queen calls you, you are not far from death!" Hassan followed the old woman to the palace anxiously, praying to Allah in his heart, thinking to himself: "Great Allah, protect me, and don't let me be destroyed." Fortunately, the old woman taught him as she walked. How to respond and cope.After a while, they walked into the palace and came to the queen. Hassan saw that the queen was wearing a veil. He quickly knelt down, blessed her, kissed the ground, and prayed according to the etiquette.The Queen winked at the old woman and motioned her to let Hassan come closer to her, face to face with her.The old woman didn't dare to disobey her orders, and hurriedly said to Hassan: "Her Majesty the Queen blesses you, what is your name? Where are you from? Who is your wife?" For a while, Hassan calmed down and replied respectfully: "As far as His Majesty is concerned, my name is Hassan, and I am from Basra. I don't know the name of my wife, but we have two children, and the eldest is Nasur." , and the younger one is called Mansur." "Where did your wife take your son?" asked the Queen. "Taken from the palace of the Caliph in Baghdad." "Did she say anything before she left?" "As I said before, she told my mother: 'When your son comes back, if he wants to meet me, please tell him and tell him to come to Wag Island to find me.'" "If she meant to abandon you, she wouldn't have said that to your mother," the queen nodded. "If she didn't want to see you again, she wouldn't tell you where she was, but you would come and find her." her." "Your Majesty, Allah testifies that what I have told is the truth. I beseech Your Majesty to be merciful, take pity on me, help me find a wife, let us reunite as husband and wife, reunite father and son, please don't punish me." Hassan finished. , wept bitterly, and chanted sadly: "Though I have not yet fulfilled my wish, But difficulties have not yet fettered me forever. Though I have never tasted happiness, But I must thank you, Because you lead me to the source of happiness. " The Queen bowed her head and remained silent for a while, then nodded, looked up at him, and said, "I do sympathize and pity you, okay? I'll let you inspect the women in the city and on the island. If you find your wife , I will let you take her back; if you can't find your wife, I will sentence you to death and let you hang on the door of She Waxi's house." "Well, I accept all the conditions proposed by His Majesty. I can only resign myself to fate." Therefore, the queen ordered to call the women in the city and the island, and ordered She Waxi to go to the city to be responsible for urging all the women to enter the palace.After all the people arrived, the queen ordered a hundred people to pass by Hassan at a time and let him watch.Hassan watched all the people, but his wife did not show up. "Have you found your wife?" asked the queen. "By my life, my wife was not among them." The queen got angry and ordered She Waxi: "Go to the harem and show him all the maids." The old woman hurriedly brought a group of maids of honor to Hassan to see, but his wife was still not among them.Hassan said to the Queen: "By my life, my wife wasn't among them." The queen couldn't help being furious, she called her attendants, and ordered: "You take him down, I will cut off his head, and see if anyone dares to venture onto the island in the future to peep our secrets." The attendants obeyed and caught Hassan, blindfolded him, and put the sword around his neck, waiting for the queen's order to end his life.At this critical moment, She Waxi ran to the queen, knelt down and kissed the ground, pulled her skirt to her head, and begged: "Your Majesty, for my sake, I beg you to be merciful and don't kill him. Your Majesty already knows that he is a poor stranger who risked his life and went through all kinds of sufferings in the world. He was blessed by Allah to get out of danger. He heard It is said that His Majesty is benevolent and virtuous, so he came here regardless of everything, begging His Majesty's grace. If he is killed, His Majesty's reputation will be damaged. In short, he is now in His Majesty's hand. Whenever His Majesty wants to kill him, he will call I'll be there. I have had affection for His Majesty, and I hope His Majesty will be merciful. The reason why I accepted his request is because I know His Majesty is generous and merciful, and can satisfy his wishes. Otherwise, I would not have brought him here I thought at the time: 'Let the queen see him and listen to his touching lines.' Besides, since he has come to us, eaten and lived with us, it is our duty to protect him, and I promise He took him to meet His Majesty, risking his death to beg His Majesty. Does Your Majesty know? Parting is a great sorrow in life, especially the separation of wives and children, which makes people heartbroken. Nowadays, except for Your Majesty, he has seen all the women in the city and palace. It's not his wife, I implore His Majesty to take off the veil and let him see your beautiful face." "Is he my husband? Did I marry him and have children? Do you want him to examine me?" The queen smiled, and then ordered her attendants to bring Hassan over, stood in front of her, and took off her veil.
