Chapter 14 14

Nalun Ruoyu comforted her father with kind words and persuaded him to allow her to make the trip.So the king sent a thousand troops to escort the princess, and told them to camp on the spot when they reached the river, waiting to pick her up and go back to the capital together. Nalun Ruoyu said: "Okay, Father, I will do as you say." Then she set off.The king went out of the city to see her off in person, and Qian Ding Zhu and Wan Zhu told her to go and return quickly. Surrounded by many people and horses, the princess saw her off safely. After walking for three days and three nights, she came to the river, where the army set up tents and rested for orders.Then she crossed the river with the prime minister and some servants, went into the city and entered the palace.When she visited the queen, she saw two sons crying and calling their father in front of her sister.She couldn't hold back the tears, and held her son in her arms, crying and saying:

"Have you seen your father? Now, it's not the time to say goodbye to him. If your father is still alive, I will definitely take you to find him. It's all my own fault that I destroyed my home with my own hands. Alas! I Not only did I suffer for myself, but I also harmed my two children!" Her sister was so angry that she ignored her.He also scolded her: "Little slut! Where did your two sons come from? Did you marry someone behind your father's back, or fool around with someone else? If you commit adultery, you deserve to be severely punished and let you Taste the bitterness; if you married behind our backs, why did you abandon your husband and run away with your son, leaving other wives to die? Do you hide your children and think we don’t know? My secrets and scandals have been exposed!" After she finished cursing, she sent someone to beat Na Lun until she was dripping with blood, then handcuffed her, hung her from the beam, and locked her in the prison.Afterwards, write to report to the king:

Your Majesty the Father: Here I found a young man.According to Sister Nalun Ruoyu's own admission, this man is her legal husband, and they gave birth to two sons, but she has been hiding the truth and not letting you know about it.Now this man is being detained by me, his name is Hassan, and he also admitted to marrying his younger sister, but not long ago, his younger sister fled without authorization with the child and abandoned him.Before leaving, he said to his mother: "When your son comes back, he is reluctant to part with me and wants to meet me. Please tell him and tell him to go to Wag Island to find me."

After I caught Hassan, I ordered She Waxi to rush to the capital to pretend to invite my sister to play with me, and now she has come to me as promised.I ordered She Waxi to bring my sister's two sons to see me first, and the children did come.The man named Hassan saw the two children and recognized each other. He was sure that he was the biological father of the two children and his sister was his wife.Father, daughter, I think this man will not lie, he is telling the truth, and all these scandals were caused by my sister alone.Daughter, in order to preserve the reputation of our royal family, I am deeply saddened by my sister's debauchery and fraudulent behavior. I have severely punished her and imprisoned her. I wrote this letter to my father and waited for my father's decision.This matter is related to the reputation of the country and the prestige of the father. I think it must be severely punished and punished, otherwise it will lose the dignity of the country and become a laughing stock.

Waiting for my father's instructions, I would like to follow the teachings.absolutely. Queen Noura Huda handed the letter to the messenger and ordered him to send it to the capital without stopping.After the king received the letter, he was very angry, lost his temper, and became angry from embarrassment, and immediately wrote back: Daughter of Noura Huda: Letter received.Let me handle the matter about Nalun Ruoyu to you!If things are as you said in your letter, don't worry, the heavier the punishment for your sister, the better. After Nula Huda received the king's reply, she opened it and read it, and then ordered her attendants to bring Nalun Ruoyu.After a while, Nalun Ruoyu, who was covered in wounds and dripping blood, came to her sister in chains and chains. She was haggard and miserable, standing in front of her sister like a lowly servant.Thinking of the humiliation and pain I had suffered, I couldn't help recalling the dignity and decency of the past, and couldn't help crying.

Her sister showed no sympathy or pity for her, but cursed her severely, ordered a ladder to be prepared, and tied her firmly to it with ropes, and let loose her long hair, and tied it with the ladder, He tortured her viciously, without any regard for brotherhood.Nalun Ruoyu was in so much pain that she groaned for help, but no one paid any attention to her.She said sadly: "Sister! Why are you so cruel? If you don't pity me, you should pity these two children too?" The pleading of her sister intensified Noura Huda's abuse of her.She said viciously: "Bitch! Allah doesn't even have pity on you, who else can save you? Have the face to let me sympathize with you?"

"Come on, don't curse me in the name of Allah. I have a clear conscience. By Allah, I have not committed adultery with a man. I married a man in a fair manner. Allah will know whether my words are true or not. You You are so cruel to me, I hate you to death. You have no evidence at all, so why do you accuse me of having an affair with someone? If you slander me with such heartless words, Allah will punish you. Just wait and see." "You dare to talk to me like that?" Nula Huda jumped up angrily, beat Nalun Ruoyu unconscious, and then poured water on him to wake him up.Na Lun was restrained and severely beaten. She was exhausted immediately, and her heart was pounding with pain. She was tortured to the point of being inhuman. She sang in a gossamer voice:

"If I have sinned deeply, immoral, I sincerely pray to Allah, I hope you will forgive me. " Hearing her pity, Noura Huda was furious and scolded: "Little whore! How dare you play poetry in front of me and try to win sympathy? Do you want me to let you go? I want you to see me!" Your husband, I will personally testify to your guilt, and you are not ashamed but proud of your crime of adultery." So the queen ordered her servants to bring a whip, rolled up their sleeves, and beat the little sister fiercely until she was bruised all over her body and fainted. Seeing the queen beating her sister, She Waxi was very sad, sobbing and cursing, she ran out of the palace.The queen roared angrily, and ordered the attendants: "Go quickly, and bring her back to me." The attendants obeyed the order and chased out quickly, caught the old woman, and dragged her back to the palace.

The queen ordered her servants to push her down to the ground, crawled her out of the palace, and abandoned her covered in blood under the palace wall. Hassan swallowed his bitterness and walked around the river bank all day long, like a wandering ghost.He was melancholy and groggy, and could not distinguish day from night. One day, as he was walking aimlessly for a while, he suddenly saw two children, beside them lay a brass cane and a leather hat with straps and drawn with talismans.The two children were arguing endlessly, fighting hard.Only one of them said: "The crutch is mine, why do you want it?" The other said: "No, I should inherit it."

Hassan went over to persuade them and asked them: "What are you arguing about?" "Uncle, please judge. You are sent by Allah, and you can give us a fair judgment." The two children said. "What happened, tell me, and I will rule for you." "We are brothers. Our father was one of the wisest prophets and lived in this cave. He died and left us this walking stick and this hat. We are both brothers to inherit, and each other No compromise. Please think of a fair solution for us." "Is there any difference between a cane and a hat? How much are they worth? The cane is worth six dollars, I think, and the hat is only three dollars."

"You don't know their secret yet." "What secret do they have?" "They have magic powers. All the income of Wagga is worth a cane; hats are worth a cane." "My child, swear to Allah, tell me their secrets." "Well, their secrets are astonishing. Our father lived to be one hundred and thirty-five years old and has been studying them, improving them, drawing celestial diagrams on them, and writing various spells, so that they have The secret and strange use of invisibility, in the end, my father was able to manipulate them at will. Who knows that after all these preparations, his old man died of illness. The secret of the hat is: whoever puts it on the head, He can be invisible, and outsiders can’t see him; as for the crutch, whoever owns it can give orders, and all ghosts and gods submit to him and let him order. As long as he knocks the ground with it, all emperors will come to it to obey. People, gods fear him and obey him." After listening to the child's narration, Hassan stared at the ground in silence, and thought to himself: "I swear to Allah, if I have a crutch and a hat, I will be able to defeat the queen. If Allah blesses me, I will be better than these two." Children deserve them more. Let me try to get crutches and hats to save my wife from that tyrannical queen and get away from this horrible and heartbreaking land of right and wrong. Allah bless me Coming here and meeting these two children is probably arranged by Allah, and Allah will give me a cane and a hat." So he looked at the two children with a pleasing expression and said, "If you want me to be the referee, then I will test you first. After the test, whoever wins will inherit the crutches, and the other will have the hat. After the test, we can tell who wins." Whoever loses can easily decide who should inherit what." "Uncle, we trust you. After testing us, we can decide who should inherit what." "Will you listen to me? Obey my judgment?" "Yes, we will." "Well, I'll pick up a stone and throw it far away. You all go to pick it up. Whoever runs over first and picks up the stone will give him a crutch. Those who are behind will inherit the hat. Do you think this is okay?" "Okay, we listen to you, let's do this." Hassan picked up a stone and threw it to a place overgrown with weeds in the distance. It was difficult to find, so the two children rushed to find it desperately. Taking advantage of the children running away, Hassan put the hat on his head, held the cane in his hand, and fled the place in a hurry.He decided to test the power of the stick and hat for himself.At this time, the younger of the two brothers found the stone first and ran back, but there was no sign of Hassan, so he asked his brother anxiously: "Where is our notary?" "I didn't see him either. Could it be that he went to heaven or fell to earth?" The elder brother replied, the two brothers searched everywhere, and Hassan stood beside him, listening to the two brothers quarreling and complaining to each other, and finally they stopped arguing, Sighing sadly: "The crutches and hats are gone, and none of us can get them. Dad has warned us long ago, but we have forgotten his last words when he was dying." Later, the two brothers were very sad, and parted ways with sighs. Hassan then walked into the city without haste. He put on his hat and carried his cane, so that no one could see him.He went all the way to She Waxi's house and approached her.He reached out and shook her gently.Unexpectedly, with a shake, the board full of glassware in front of the old woman collapsed, and those things fell to the ground.The old woman was so frightened that she couldn't help herself, she complained to herself, while she was packing her things, she said suspiciously: "I swear to Allah that it was Queen Noura Huda who sent ghosts to mess with me. May Allah bless her to appease her anger. O Allah! Her sister is her father's favorite daughter, and it is inevitable that she will suffer I don't know what kind of punishment I will receive if I offend her who is not related to her, and I don't know what kind of punishment I will receive!" Later, she said loudly: "I swear to Allah, the great Lord of all things, to God Swear by the words engraved on the ring of Saint Solomon, O devil! Who are you? Tell me, let me understand." "I'm not a devil. I'm Hassan, who has left his homeland and lost his soul." Hassan said as he took off the hat on his head, and immediately appeared in front of the old woman.She stared blankly, it was Hassan.She pulled Hassan into a corner and said: "Are you crazy? How did you come here? Hide quickly. Your wife is the sister of that stinky woman, and she will inevitably be tortured by her. If you fall into her hands, you will be tortured inhumanly!" So She Waxi told Hassan all about his wife's experience, the humiliation and abuse she received, as well as how she was implicated, and then said: "After the queen sent you away, she was regretting it and sent people to arrest you everywhere, and threatened to reward you with a lot of money." to your man and put her in my place. She swore to catch you and kill you and your wife." The old woman became more and more sad, and let Hassan see her scars from the whipping.Hassan also burst into tears and said, "Old man, how can I leave this place and escape the clutches of that tyrant? Give me an idea, let me rescue my wife and children, and bring them home safely." "It's a blessing in misfortune that you can be saved yourself!" "No, I must save my wife and children!" "How do you save them, my child? Now you hide as soon as possible and obey the will of Allah." At this time, Hassan showed her the crutches and hat, and she cried out with joy when she saw it, and shouted to Hassan: "Praise the great Allah! By Allah, child, before, everyone thought you And your wife must surely die, but not now, my child! There is hope for you and your wife. I know the crutches and hats and their owner, one of the greatest prophecies who taught me their spells Or, who lived to be one hundred and thirty-five years old, he was the one who worked hard to develop this hat and this crutch, but unfortunately he died. He once said to his two sons: "Children, these two treasures will last you You can’t own them. In the future, a foreigner is destined to steal them. As for what happens, you can’t guard against them.” The two children said: “Father, tell me how they were stolen.” The old man said: “The secret must not be revealed. 'How did you get these two treasures?" Hassan then told She Waxi exactly how he got the two treasures. The old woman was very happy when she heard this, and said: "Son, let me tell you, that bitch was so cruel that he ordered someone to whip me. I will not work for her anymore. I will go back to the cave and practice with my colleagues." And you, my child, put on your hat and take your stick, go quietly into the palace, find your wife, tap the ground with your stick, call out, and a servant appears In front of you, at your command, will not disobey your orders." After bidding farewell to She Waxi, Hassan put on a hat, took a cane, went straight to the palace invisibly, found the prison room, and saw his beloved wife tied to the ladder, crying, dying, just staring blankly at the play under the ladder The scene is very bleak and heartbreaking for the two children.Seeing his wife suffer such bad luck, he was heartbroken and fainted all of a sudden, unconscious. After a while, he slowly came to his senses, took off his hat with tears, and showed his figure.As soon as the two sons saw him, they called "Daddy" and ran over. He quickly put on his hat and became invisible again. His wife woke up from the dizziness and saw the two children crying for Daddy, but she couldn't see Hassan's body. At this time, she felt pain like a thousand arrows piercing her heart, and asked with tears streaming down her face: "My dear sons, where are you? Where is your father?" Thinking of her tragic experience, Hassan's wife couldn't help crying bitterly, and the tears wet a large area of ​​the ground.Her hands were tied, unable to wipe away her tears, and let the mosquitoes and flies continue to bite her body.In the isolated and helpless situation, she has been crying sadly, looking back on the past, she is helpless. Hassan walked up to his son quietly and took off his hat. The son saw him again and called out to his father.When his wife heard the cry, she became more and more sad, and sighed: "Fate has played tricks on me, poor man. Oh, what can I do!" Then she thought: "Strange! Why do the children suddenly miss and call for their father?" At this time, Hassan could no longer restrain his passion, took off his hat recklessly, and walked in front of his wife.When she fixed her eyes on Hassan, she screamed, and the sound resounded throughout the palace.She asked in amazement, "How did you come here? Did it fall from the sky? Or did it come out of the ground?" As she spoke, tears filled her eyes, and Hassan wept bitterly too. She said: "The destiny is all fulfilled, we are all fools, but now is not the time to be sad, by Allah, go back to where you came from! Don't let people see you. My sister knows , will kill us together." "Honey! I came here after a near death, and I'm not afraid of anything. I want to go home with you and the children, and at the same time I want to show some color to that bad woman of your sister." Hassan's wife laughed wryly after hearing Hassan's words. Thinking of her own situation, she couldn't help but feel that Hassan's idea was absurd, so she couldn't help laughing at him for a while, shaking her head and sighing: "My God! You It's easy to say! No one can save me except Allah. If you want to escape, it's easier said than done! You'd better do it yourself, hurry up, don't die for me in vain. My sister has thousands of troops and is invincible in the world, so don't do it The dream took me away. Besides, this place is deep and deep, with thorns growing all along the way, forests, deserts and rivers. Even the ghosts and gods in the sky are difficult to get through. How can you go back safely? Stop thinking hard about saving me. Forget about saving me, I can't escape from this wretched place." "I swear on my life, my love, if you don't come with me, I won't leave this place." "My poor husband! Have you thought about it? Who are you? What can you do? You don't even know what you're talking about. You can't get out of this place even if you have the ability to command the wind and rain, or take care of yourself. Leave me alone, let me resign myself to fate, maybe I will turn the corner in the future." "My dear wife, I have come here to rescue you with this crutch and this hat." So he told his wife how he had met the two children who had obtained the treasure.At this moment, Queen Nura Huda walked in suddenly and heard someone talking inside.Hassan quickly put on his hat and became invisible.The queen asked her little sister: "Little slut! Who are you talking to?" "I didn't talk to anyone except these two kids." The queen raised the whip again and beat the little sister severely.Hassan hid in the dark, saw the scene in front of him, and suppressed his grief. The queen kept beating the little sister until her skin was torn apart and she fell into a coma. Then she ordered her attendants to change her house to detain her.The servants obeyed and carried her to another cell and threw her on the ground.Hassan followed him all the way, and he took off his hat and appeared in front of his wife when the attendants left.His wife said to him: "You have seen what happened to me, my dear husband, please forgive me. Do you know that once a wife leaves her husband, she will only know how precious her husband is. I have done this to myself, and I will sincerely repent to the great Allah, Ask Allah for forgiveness. If Allah blesses us and allows us to have a reunion day, I promise I will never leave you again." "It's not your fault, it's my fault." Seeing his wife suffering and blaming himself, Hassan felt very distressed, and sighed regretfully, "I left you at home when I went out alone, and made you stay with someone who didn't understand you. My dear baby, let me tell you, Allah will protect us, I have a way to rescue you from the tiger's mouth. Now I ask you, are you going to return to your father and be with him forever to fulfill your daughter's love? How about filial piety, or are you willing to go back to Baghdad with me and live a happy married life?" "Only Allah can save me. Get rid of this idea and go home, because you don't understand your situation. If you don't listen to me, we will end badly." She couldn't help weeping sadly, and her two sons also wept with her.The servants rushed to watch and saw Princess Nalun Ruoyu and her two sons crying bitterly. Everyone was very sad and felt sorry for them. They could not help but shed tears of sympathy. Everyone cursed Queen Nura Huda for being cruel. ruthless. Hassan kept hiding until dark, when everyone fell asleep, he got up, went to his wife, untied her, kissed her, and said, "What a long night, what an unforgettable night!" Could it be that we met in a dream?" Then he and his wife hugged their two sons, sneaked out of the prison cell in the dark, and fled to the gate of the palace, but the palace gate was closed and could not be opened.Hassan let out a long sigh: "There is no way, it is all saved by the great Allah. We are the subjects of Allah, and the final destination is before Allah. Omnipotent Allah! I fell short and forgot the last hurdle , what should we do? Wait until dawn, it will be over." He was at a loss, desperate, and wept sadly.His wife was also very sad, sobbing at her husband, she said: "I swear to Allah, we have nowhere to escape, we can only wait for death, we might as well end it ourselves and get rid of the misery in the world. When the day breaks, we will go damn." Just when Hassan and his wife were desperate, they suddenly heard someone answer from outside the door, saying: "I swear to Allah, Hassan and the little princess! If you husband and wife agree to my request, I will open the door for you immediately." They heard someone When he found himself, he didn't dare to make a sound, and planned to turn around and go back to the cell. At this moment, the voice continued: "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you answer me?" Only then did they realize that it was She Waxi who was speaking, so they felt relieved and said, "Say it, we will do it, but now is not the time to talk, you open the door first." "By Allah, you must swear to me before you open the door. Take me out of here with you. I will share weal and woe, life and death with you. Don't leave me to suffer at the hands of that bitch. She hates you because of you. Kill me. My daughter! I still have some uses, please take me away." Hearing what she said, the doubts in the Hassan couple's hearts disappeared, so they calmed down and swore to her, and she opened the door and let them escape.The couple hurried out of the palace gate, and saw the old woman straddling a Greek-style red clay pot, with a leather rope tied to the ring, and it rolled faster than the fastest horse in the king's stable.
