When Mary left home, she wanted to go straight to church.

But she had barely gone far when she was surrounded by a flock of crows.

The black crows, gathered around her, scratching her hair and pecking at her clothes.

forced her to keep backing away.

When she came back to her senses, she realized that she had actually come to the edge of the dark forest.

It wasn't until she entered the forest that the ravens mercifully spared her, flapping their wings and flying high into the air.

Mary looked up at the ravens hovering above her, and at the same time, she was horrified.

No wonder the girl in the black dress allowed her to leave the house, because the crows were watching over her, and if she deviated from the route to the forest, she would be besieged by the crows.

The crows rattled hoarsely, reflecting the desolate and dim forest.

Mary couldn't help but think of the demonic tales she had heard.

In those stories, crows are usually associated with death, always staring at humans with a cold gaze, waiting for humans to die, and then swooping down to peck at rotting corpses.

The more Mary thought about it, the more terrified she became.

Fearing that she would become a cold corpse to be eaten by crows, she went to church to ask for help, and her hope was suppressed by panic.

She walked deeper into the forest, searching for firewood.

……

With Mary and Lady Holly in charge of the housework, Cinderella no longer had to be busy from morning to night as before, and suddenly became very idle, and he became very uncomfortable.

He began to find things to do for himself.

First, he took out the torn dress and sewed it neatly with stitches and threads.

Ruan Mianmian exaggeratedly exclaimed: "You are so capable, not only can you cook, but also can sew clothes, it's amazing!" ”

Cinderella was embarrassed to be praised, and her fair cheeks flushed with shyness: "I won't do anything else, only these things, if you have clothes that need to be sewn, you can give them to me." ”

"No, you don't."

Ruan Mianmian refused quite happily, but in the next second, she saw that the expression of the women's clothing boss became dim, as if she was very disappointed.

She hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Cinderella lowered her eyes, "Nothing. ”

Ruan Mianmian directly got into his hands and cupped his cheeks: "Although I am a witch, I don't know how to read minds, I can't know all the thoughts in your heart, just say what you want to say." ”

The girl's fingers were cold, like ice and snow hanging from a tree branch, and her hand pressed against Cinderella's cheek, making him feel his face almost frozen.

He even felt nervous and at a loss as to how to breathe.

"I'm just, just a little bit lost."

Ruan Mianmian stared at his blue eyes and asked, "Why are you lost?" ”

"I feel useless and can't help you."

Speaking of which, Cinderella's blue eyes seemed to have water light floating and sparkling.

Ruan Mianmian was stunned.

It's worthy of being a hostess!

knew that he was a women's clothing boss, but he couldn't help but be hit in the heart by his beauty.

Ruan Mianmian let go of his face and explained with a smile.

"I'm just going to have a dress, and if I take it off and sew it for you, I won't have to wear it. Moreover, my skirt is for witches, and the quality is very good, no matter how many years you wear it, it will not be dirty and damaged, and you don't need to sew it. ”

Cinderella was still nostalgic for the feeling of being touched.

The unique coldness on the girl in the black dress seemed to remain on his skin, seeping into the flesh and blood through the pores.

He wanted to take the other party's temperature completely for himself.

Ruan Mianmian saw that he was silent, and continued: "These skirts were bought blindly by me based on my impression of you, and they may be a little ill-fitting, anyway, they have been torn apart, you don't have to bother sewing them anymore, just throw them away." Wait for another day...... Well, just tomorrow, if it doesn't snow or rain tomorrow, I'll take you to the city to do some shopping, buy some new clothes, and buy some food by the way. ”

Cinderella replied in a low voice, "Okay." ”

He looked at the sunlight outside the window and continued to sew his clothes in earnest.

Although Mianmian said that these skirts could be thrown away, he was reluctant.

These are all selected and purchased by Mianmian for him personally, and he wants to sew them all neatly, even if he doesn't wear them, he must collect them well.

After sewing the clothes, Cinderella opened the book and began to learn witchcraft.

Nguyen Mianmian plays the role of a teacher, responsible for guiding from the side.

It's noon in the blink of an eye.

Mary returned with two large bundles of firewood on her back.

She was so tired that she was panting, her fingers were cut by wooden thorns, leaving thin red wounds, her palms and shoulders were worn off, and her face turned pale with pain, and the hem of her skirt was covered with mud, and she was sweating profusely, but the tip of her nose was red because of the cold.

As soon as she entered, she went to Lady Holly to cry.

"Mom, I can't do it, I'm really going to be tortured to death!"

Mrs. Holly was baking bread, and she had always been decent, but now she was covered in dust, her hands were stained with oil, and her eyes were red from smoke, as if she would cry at any moment.

When she saw that her eldest daughter was back, she hurriedly stopped her movements, walked over quickly, covered her eldest daughter's mouth, and motioned for her daughter to be quiet, so as not to alarm the two guys upstairs.

Mrs. Holly lowered her voice and asked, "Did you find the church?" Did you tell them about witches and monsters hiding in our house? ”

Mary shook her head: "No, I was watched very closely by a group of crows, and those crows obeyed the witch, they were the lackeys of that witch, they kept an eye on me from beginning to end, and whenever I wanted to escape, they would immediately pounce on me and grab me and bite me." ”

She rolled up her sleeves, revealing her scratched arm, aggrieved.

"Mom, look, these are scratched by those damn crows, it really hurts!"

Lady Holly was both distressed by what had happened to her eldest daughter and frightened by the witch's thoughts.

The witch watched them very closely and did not give them a chance to call for help from the outside world.

Are they going to be trapped in this house for the rest of their lives, living like lowly servants?

Just thinking about it made it difficult for Mrs. Holly to accept.

She comforted her daughter: "Don't be afraid, calculate the time, Sir should be back soon, he will be in charge of us, when the time comes, he will definitely drive the witch out, and Cinderella will also be taught a stern lesson." ”

Thinking of her stepfather, who was about to return, Mary rekindled hope in her heart.

The stepfather had always disliked Cinderella, and he would be very angry if he knew that Cinderella was involved with witches.

With her stepfather's help, neither Cinderella nor the witch would have had good fruit to eat!

A crisp girl's voice came from upstairs.

"Madame, is lunch ready? We're all hungry. ”

Mrs. Holly hurriedly put away her chaotic thoughts and replied in a loud voice, "It'll be right now!" ”！
