Children of Loulan

Chapter 124 Dreamland

A vast expanse of white fog enveloped the entire world, as if covering the earth with a mysterious veil. A teenage girl, petite and pretty, was running wildly in the fog, as if being chased by something terrible.

Her steps became faster and faster, running from the woods to the mountain stream, as if she wanted to escape from the endless fog. However, the fog was like a maze, and no matter how hard she ran, she could not escape its bondage. She did not dare to stop, for fear that if she stopped, she would be swallowed by the danger hidden in the fog.

Just when she felt desperate, she suddenly saw a bridge in front of her. The bridge spanned the mountain stream, looming and seeming to be a passage to hope. The girl was filled with joy, and she ran towards the bridge without hesitation.

However, just as she was about to step onto the bridge, a sudden shout of "Girl!" broke the silence. The girl's steps stopped abruptly, and she looked in astonishment, only to find that it was Aunt Taji standing there.

Auntie Taji was her former teacher, and her presence made the girl feel relieved. She walked quickly towards Auntie Taji and said anxiously, "Auntie, you are here too! That's great. I'm lost. I've been wandering around here for a long time, but I can't get out. Auntie, do you know how to get out of this fog?"

The girl's voice was full of helplessness and expectation. She tightly grasped Aunt Taji's arm, eager to get guidance. Aunt Taji looked at her gently, with a trace of worry in her eyes, but she still comforted her: "Child, don't be afraid. This thick fog is indeed easy to make people lose their way. Come with me, I am here to pick you up!"

The girl nodded and followed Aunt Taji. The two of them walked through the thick fog together, groping forward carefully. Gradually, they felt the fog begin to dissipate and the road ahead became clear.

Finally, they walked out of the strange fog and the girl breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Aunt Taji suddenly stopped!

Seeing that the nanny had stopped moving, the girl also stopped and looked at Aunt Taji with gratitude: "Thank you, Auntie. Without your help, I really don't know what I would do."

Aunt Taji smiled and patted the girl's shoulder: "Child, don't panic when you encounter difficulties in the future. Stay calm and have courage. Remember, there will always be a way to solve the problem."

The girl nodded seriously and said, "Then Mammy, let's go quickly! It might be dark soon."

After saying that, the girl turned around and was about to leave, but Aunt Taji grabbed her. She turned around curiously and saw Aunt Taji looking at her with a smile. However, that smile made the girl feel a little uneasy, and she subconsciously took a step back.

Seeing this, Aunt Taji quickly said, "Don't be afraid, young lady. I know you are lost, so I came here to take you a distance! But I can only take you here. You have to walk the rest of the way by yourself!"

The girl was very confused about what the nanny said. Her beautiful eyes were full of confusion and puzzlement. She stared at the nanny closely, and asked with a hint of anxiety in her voice: "Mammy, what do you mean? You... don't you recognize me? I am Li Liangren!"

The girl standing in front of her was Hanguli. She was full of questions, not understanding why the nanny would say such a thing. She kept calling her "girl" because once a girl entered the palace, she would be directly addressed by her position!

Hearing her question, the smile on the nanny's face remained the same, and did not change because of Hanguli's questioning. She gently patted Hanguli's shoulder and said gently: "Girl, there is no such thing as a good lady in this world. However, Yuexiju is a very good temporary residence. You just need to live there with peace of mind, but don't step out of Yuexiju easily, and you can live a stable life for a few years. Although life may be a little hard, it is better than those days of intrigue and scheming!"

Hanguli blinked her eyes, as if trying to understand what Mammy said. After a while, she finally asked softly, "Mammy, what is the Yuexi Residence you just mentioned?"

Aunt Taji sighed deeply, and her tone became extremely heavy, as if she was pressed down by a heavy stone. She said to Hanguli earnestly: "Girl, you must remember what I said to you today. Although the queen's behavior this time was a little inappropriate, she did not have any malicious intentions. I hope you can be more tolerant of her in the future and live in harmony with her! Remember, you must keep my words in mind!"

Hanguli looked at Aunt Taji and nodded subconsciously, "Thank you, Aunt. I will remember it."

Aunt Taji smiled and said, "Good boy, I hope you will be safe and sound throughout your life. If you are tired one day, just stop and rest. It's okay! Now, it's getting late, you can go now!"

Listening to Mammy's words, Hanguli was filled with disbelief and astonishment. She stared at Mammy with wide eyes, trying to understand what all this meant. However, although neither of them moved, for some reason, Mammy seemed to be moving away from her, repeating: "Go back! Live well!"

Hanguli's eyes followed the Mammy as she walked away, her eyes full of confusion and bewilderment. She tried to reach out and grab Mammy, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't reach her. It was not until Mammy's figure completely disappeared from her sight that Hanguli woke up from a dream and shouted, "Mammy!"

However, no one responded to her call. There was silence all around, only her own voice echoing in the air. She felt a sense of panic rising in her heart, not knowing what to do next. Just as she was about to move forward to find Mammy, another voice suddenly came from behind: "Child!"

Hanguli turned her head subconsciously and was surprised to find Kutuluk and his wife standing there. Kutuluk frowned and said in a serious tone: "Child, don't go over there, that's not where you should go!"

Seeing the two of them, Hanguli showed a look of surprise on her face. She asked in confusion: "Master, Madam, why are you here?"

She really couldn't understand why she met them in this strange place. Kutuluk and his wife looked at Hanguli and said with some guilt: "Child, we just came to see you. We know that you are not living well now, and we feel ashamed. We are sorry for you!"

Hanguli was confused. She asked anxiously, "Master, Madam, I don't understand. Why do you want to apologize to me? And where is this place?"

Her heart was filled with countless questions, hoping to get answers from them. Kutuluk was silent for a moment and then continued: "Child, you should go back. You have been out for too long. Go back quickly!"

Mrs. Luke also nodded and agreed: "Daughter, go back quickly! Remember to live well!"

"Live well!"

"Live well!"

"Live well!"

The voices of these three people have been surrounding Hanguli's ears, pouring into her ears continuously, making her head feel heavy in an instant!
