…… At this critical moment, Lin Sanjiu opened his eyes from the thick, somewhat prickly haystack.

Before she could react to the situation, she took a sharp breath and jumped up from the haystack, and the hay suddenly scattered to the ground, startling Cinderella, who was digging out ashes on the side.

"What's wrong?" Cinderella's face and hands were a dark color, and her tone was gentle: "Did you have a nightmare? ”

"I ...... Ah, yes, that's right. Lin Sanjiu blinked vigorously, feeling as if her mind was still being left in the cabin on a rainy night where the barking of dogs was deafening—she slowed down for a few seconds and looked out the window.

It was still a dark night outside, and half of the whitish moon hung faintly in the clouds, without a hint of rain.

"What time is it?" Lin Sanjiu calmed his breath and looked at Cinderella a little puzzled. "Why are you working at this time?"

Cinderella sighed. "I've always gotten up at this time to work...... In a few moments it will be dawn, and the kitchen should be busy making breakfast. ”

After that, she didn't know what she remembered, she paused slowly, and looked at the stove in front of her with dazed eyes.

Lin Sanjiu could guess what she was thinking.

Judging from the few words I heard here, the dance was last month. It stands to reason that Cinderella should have lost a shoe a long time ago, but it's been almost a month, and no prince has come to look for her......

For Cinderella, all the jeweled dresses, the bright lights, the prince, and the ball had become a distant and unreal dream, and when the dream was over, she would still have to squat in the dirty kitchen, working with her hands full of plaster.

The story of Cinderella must be about to usher in a critical moment like Little Red Riding Hood, right?

Lin Sanjiu thought about it, and while using the excuse of washing, he walked outside and sorted out his card.

The things she gave to Cinderella's stepmother were nothing more than scented candles and flashlights—and the other party accepted them without thinking, but in the end she was a little disappointed that it wasn't gemstone jewelry, so she only arranged a haystack.

After sorting out the cards, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but think of the other two people in the cabin on a rainy night.

Whether it's Little Red Riding Hood or Emma, no one looks like a werewolf...... There is nothing suspicious about the behavior. If you think about it, what does a werewolf look like?

As Lin Sanjiu was immersed in his thoughts, the light gradually brightened - Cinderella hurriedly cooked and sent it to her stepmother and sisters, and she only cooked two bowls of potato and bean mixture and gave it to Lin Sanjiu.

Although the taste is not good, as long as you can eat a mouthful of hot rice, it is already extremely happy for Lin Sanjiu.

Seeing her gobbling up, Cinderella couldn't help but smile in a low voice: "You must have suffered a lot on the road, right?" ”

This sentence made Lin Sanjiu stunned.

If the apocalyptic world is her journey, she really doesn't know where the end is.

Normally, Lin Sanjiu would try to restrain himself, not to let himself think about the vast and endless thousands of apocalyptic worlds, and also try not to think about his dead and lost friends and friends - but this love was like mud and sand under the water, which was stirred up by Cinderella's gentle words at this time.

"Ah, yes, it's rare to have a meal." She came back to her senses and smiled in response.

Cinderella looked at Lin Sanjiu's expression carefully, hesitated, and was about to speak, but was suddenly interrupted by a noise not far away—a manservant's voice was particularly high in the midst of a shout: "Madam, Madame!" Where are you, come out quickly to meet the ruler of the palace! ”

It's coming!

Lin Sanjiu's heart jumped, put down his rice bowl, pulled up Cinderella, who was still confused, and entered the house through the back door.

The manor-style mansion of the Cinderella family has lost its reserved style at all.

The stepmother rushed out with her skirt, her hair obviously smoothed out and shiny. Behind her were Cinderella's two older sisters, all three of whom were clearly dressed up with a string of sparkling gems on their hands—"Why is the palace steward here?" The stepmother asked with a clear breath.

The head of the palace was a middle-aged man with silver and gray hair, his face was cold, and he was so strict that people couldn't help but put on the same expression as him.

"I was ordered by the prince to search the whole country for a girl who could wear this shoe." He explained in a businesslike tone, and then waved his hand, and someone behind him showed a crystal slipper in a box. "Whoever is able to wear these shoes will receive the highest honor and will be by the prince's side from now on."

The crystal slipper shone with a clear pink glow, and as soon as it was revealed, Lin Sanjiu immediately heard Cinderella beside him exclaim in a low voice, but fortunately, at this time, everyone's attention was on the manager and the shoes, but no one paid attention to her.

The next thing is similar to that in a fairy tale. The stepmother's two daughters, although not as shaved as in fairy tales, did take a lot of work - wrapped their feet around with strips of cloth, and their toes were rolled under the soles of their feet, so that they became the European version of the small feet.

But their faces were blue from pain, and they still couldn't squeeze their feet into their shoes.

The crystal slipper didn't have any room to expand, so it could only adapt to its owner's foot shape - the manager even wanted Lin Sanjiu to try it too, but after seeing her stretch out a foot with Tian Mulan in it, he immediately dispelled this idea.

In the end, when Cinderella was a little trembling and slid her small and slender bare feet into the crystal slipper, Lin Sanjiu was almost shocked by the screams of the people around him.

"Great," said the chief manager's face tightened, and there was no hint of joy in it. "We've found you at last, and the prince will be comforted."

Cinderella's face flushed so blushing that she was dragged by some of the maids of the palace, washed and dressed up, and finally showed a little of the beauty she had shown at the ball.

It's also a wonderful feeling to be in a fairy tale, to be able to experience everything with the characters in it—because the hall on the first floor was already packed, and Lin Sanjiu stood by the window on the second floor, watching Cinderella be welcomed out of the house by the steward and respectfully escorted to a particularly magnificent carriage.

In Lin Sanjiu's impression, this part of the prince appeared - it was he who ordered the punishment of his stepmother and two daughters. In this carriage, it is probably the prince, right?

The scene in front of her seemed to confirm her guess.

The steward said something to the men in the carriage, and then asked Cinderella to walk as well.

Cinderella glanced into the carriage, turned back to the steward, and waved her hand hurriedly......

…… Hey? Lin Sanjiu narrowed his eyes.

Cinderella's expression didn't seem quite right.

She was a little pale, and had been shaking her head desperately—for she was too far away to make out what she was saying—but before she could say a few words, she was about to turn away, when suddenly two tall soldiers came and picked up Cinderella, and forced her into the carriage.

Cinderella's feet were still kicking and kicking outside, as if she had been held down by someone in the carriage and could not get out, but the wheels of the carriage were already spun around impatiently, and she quickly turned around and left the front of the house.

In the room, all those who saw this scene were silent.

Something has happened!

Lin Sanjiu gritted his teeth, and while people were not paying attention, he went straight out of the window. When she landed on the ground, the weight of her body shook her feet numb. However, before the stirred dust could fall, her figure had already run some distance away, biting the carriage and holding on.

Not sure what was going on, she didn't fully let go of her speed to catch up, but only fell behind to observe the situation.

Fortunately, in a country that can turn all the girls out of the country to try on shoes, the territory will not be very large - after running for about a few tens of minutes, the palace has arrived.

For Lin Sanjiu, such a small palace was like a no-man's land, and it only took her twenty minutes for Lin Sanjiu to find Cinderella in a very elegantly furnished room.

Her face was pale, her face was full of tears, and she didn't even feel strange when she saw Lin Sanjiu-

“…… The prince who danced with me was not the same person just now. She whimpered. R1152
