Chapter 671

... but at this critical moment, Lin Sanjiu opened his eyes from the thick, somewhat pricking haystack.

The light first appeared in her pupils. Before she could react to the situation, she took a sudden breath and jumped up from the haystack. The hay immediately splashed on the ground, startling Cinderella who was taking out ashes.

"What's the matter?" Cinderella's face and hands were all black, and her tone was very gentle: "did you have a nightmare?"

"I... ah, yes, that's right." Lin Sanjiu blinked hard, feeling that her mind seemed to be still left in the rain night cabin with deafening barking - she slowed down for a few seconds and looked out of the window.

It was still a dark night outside, and the half white moon was faintly hanging in the clouds, without any sign of rain——

"When is it now?" Lin Sanjiu calmed his breathing and looked at Cinderella with a little doubt. "Why are you working at this time?"

Cinderella sighed. "I always get up and work at this time... It will be dawn in a while, and the kitchen will be busy making breakfast."

After that, she didn't know what she thought of, and slowly paused, staring at the stove in front of her eyes, out of mind.

Lin Sanjiu can guess what she is thinking.

Judging from the words I heard here, the dance was last month. Normally, Cinderella should have lost a shoe long ago, but almost a month has passed, and no prince has come to her yet

For hindrilla, all the gem skirts, bright lights, princes and dances have become a distant and unreal dream. When the dream is over, she will still squat in the dirty kitchen and work with plaster in her hands.

Cinderella's story must be about to usher in a critical moment like little red riding hood, right?

Lin Sanjiu thought as he went outside to tidy up his cards under the excuse of washing.

What she gave hindrilla's stepmother was nothing more than some fragrant candles and flashlights - although the other party took them away without thinking, he was still a little disappointed because it was not a gem, so he only arranged a haystack for her.

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

No matter little red riding hood or Emma, no one looks like a werewolf... There is nothing suspicious about their behavior. Think about it carefully, what is a werewolf like?

When Lin Sanjiu was immersed in his thoughts, the light gradually came on - hindrilla hurriedly cooked rice and sent it to her stepmother and sisters. He 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 hot meal, it is extremely happy for Lin Sanjiu——

Looking at her wolfing, Cinderella couldn't help but smile in a low voice: "you must have suffered a lot on the road?"

This sentence stunned Lin Sanjiu.

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

At ordinary times, Lin San would try to restrain himself from thinking about the vast and endless doomsday world, and also try not to think about his dead and separated friends and partners - but this emotion was like the sediment under the water, which was stirred up by hindrilla's gentle words at this time.

"Ah, yes, there are few times when you can eat." She came to her senses and answered with a smile.

Hindrilla looked carefully at Lin Sanjiu's expression, hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak, but was suddenly interrupted by a noise not far away - a servant's voice was particularly high in the noise: "madam, madam! Where are you? Come out quickly to meet the steward of the royal palace!"

Here comes -!

Lin Sanjiu's heart thumped, put down his job, pulled up Cinderella, who was still confused, and dodged into the house through the back door.

The grand house of the hindrilla family's manor has lost its former reserved style at the moment.

The stepmother rushed out with her skirt, and her head was obviously just smoothed and shiny. Behind her were hindrilla's two sisters, who obviously dressed up with care, and hung a string of bright gems on their hands and bodies - "what happened to the palace steward?" The stepmother gasped and asked.

The steward of the palace was a middle-aged man with a silver gray head. His face was so cold that people couldn't help but show the same expression as him.

"I was ordered by the prince to look for a girl who could wear this shoe all over the country." He explained in a business tone, then waved his hand, and someone behind him showed a crystal shoe in a box. "Those who can wear this shoe will be honored and will accompany the prince from now on."

The crystal shoes flashed with a clear pink light, and as soon as they were exposed, Lin Sanjiu immediately heard hindrilla around him give a low exclamation. Fortunately, at this time, everyone's attention was on the manager and shoes, but no one paid attention to her.

The next thing is similar to that in fairy tales. Although the stepmother's two daughters are not as thin as in the fairy tale, they also spend a lot of time - wrapping their feet in circles with cloth strips, and their toes are rolled under the soles of their feet, which is simply a European version of wrapped feet.

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

The crystal shoe has no room for expansion and contraction, and can only adapt to the foot shape of its owner - the manager even wanted Lin Sanjiu to try it, but he immediately gave up the idea after seeing that she stretched out a foot with tianmulan.

Finally, when hindrilla slightly trembled and slid her small and thin bare feet into the crystal shoes, Lin Sanjiu was almost half deaf by the screams of people around her.

"That's great," said the manager with a tight face, and he couldn't see the slightest hint of happiness. "We have finally found you. I think the prince will be very comforted."

Cinderella's face was red, and she was pulled over by several maids in the palace. After cleaning and dressing up, she finally showed some of the beauty she showed at the dance.

It's also a wonderful feeling to be in the fairy tale and experience everything with the characters in it - because the hall on the first floor is already full of people. Lin Sanjiu stood by the window on the second floor and watched Cinderella being welcomed out of the house by the manager and respectfully sent to a special 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, the prince is probably sitting there, isn't he?

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

The steward said something to the people in the carriage, and then let Cinderella also walk past.

Hindrilla glanced into the carriage, turned around and said something to the manager, and waved her hand anxiously

... eh? Lin Sanjiu narrowed his eyes.

Cinderella's expression didn't seem quite right.

Her face was a little white, and she had been shaking her head desperately - because she was too far away to hear what she said - but before she could say a few words, she was about to turn around and walk, when suddenly two tall soldiers came, set up Cinderella and forced her into the carriage.

Hindrilla's feet were still 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 could not wait to turn, and soon turned around from the front of the big house and left.

In the room, everyone who saw this scene was silent.

Here comes the accident!

Lin Sanjiu gritted his teeth and turned out of the window directly when people were not paying attention. When she landed on the ground, her weight made her feet numb. However, before the dust stirred up fell, her figure had run out for a long distance and kept biting the carriage.

Because she was not sure what had happened, she did not fully open up to catch up, but fell behind to observe the situation.

Fortunately, a country that can turn over girls all over the country to try on shoes will not have a large territory - after running for about dozens of minutes, the Royal Palace arrived.
