Paine's game

"Then what did you say?"

"I just told you what you told me. Anyway, Cinderella already believed it. I told her to find a way to sneak out and join us here later. Then I came back first and quickly prepared. Cinderella will be there soon."

It’s coming!”

"Why are you so anxious? She is a little girl, how can she sneak out of home and get here as quickly as you? Hurry up and pack your outfit, and you will act according to my eyes."

Paine asked Old Tom to tidy up a bit. As the foreign aid of "Hazel Mother", the two of them couldn't look too down on their status.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, there were light footsteps outside the house. The man hesitated and walked around outside the house, and then knocked on the door to ask questions.

"Excuse me, are they the reinforcements invited by the pigeons?" - This is the joint command that Paine thought of. It seems that the intensive training that was given to Old Tom in the past has made him remember those words.

"Yes, please come in, the door is unlocked." Paine said.

Cinderella pushed open the door and was surprised the moment she saw Paine.

"Ah, it's you!"

"Yes, it's me. We meet again, Miss Cinderella."

Paine said with a smile.

"Well - I want to apologize to you. I treated you very badly outside the village earlier."

Cinderella seemed a little uneasy.

"It's okay, you don't need to apologize." Paine immediately comforted, "Pigeon has told us the cause and effect. You are such a poor child. Don't worry, Old Tom and I will help you."

Old Tom also nodded repeatedly, but Cinderella still looked very uneasy.

Paine knew he couldn't go on like this. He didn't expect Cinderella's psychological problem to be so serious, so he had to use some of the psychological listening skills he learned in Blue Star Middle School in his previous life to make Cinderella believe them first.

"Sit down first, Cinderella, let's talk first. I can see that you are having a bad time."

Paine gave Cinderella a stool to sit on, preparing to have a good chat with her. Anyway, the night had just begun.

After some verbal inducement and chatting, Cinderella was finally able to express some of her feelings. She told Paine and Old Tom her story.

When Cinderella was very young, her mother, Mrs. Green, fell seriously ill. Before she died, she called Cinderella to her side and said: "My good daughter, after Mom passes away, she will protect you and bless you.

”

After saying that, she closed her eyes and died.

Mrs. Green was buried on a hillside not far from the village. Cinderella went to her mother's grave every day to cry. Winter came, and heavy snow covered her mother's grave with a white blanket. The spring breeze blew and the sun returned.

The silver coating was removed from the grave. Winter turned to spring, people moved around, and Cinderella's father, who was unwilling to be lonely, found a lover.

Maria's family background was not good, so she was not qualified to officially marry Mr. Green, but this did not prevent her from moving to this home that lacked a hostess. She even brought her two daughters she had given birth to to settle down together. Their appearance

Very beautiful, but very ugly and evil inside. When they arrived, it was the beginning of Cinderella's suffering.

Maria even said in front of Mr. Green: "What's the use of such a useless rice bucket in the hall? Whoever wants to eat bread has to earn it himself, so go and work as a kitchen maid in the kitchen!"

”

From then on, Cinderella had no beautiful clothes, only an old gray coat. She was forced to do hard work. She had to get up before dawn every day to carry water, make fires, cook, and wash clothes. She also had to endure Maria and her daughter.

The three people ignored and tortured her. At night, when she was exhausted, she didn't even have a bed to sleep on, so she had to sleep in the ashes next to the stove. As a result, her body was covered with ashes, dirty and dirty.

Ugly, for this reason they called her Cinderella.

Once, when Mr. Green was going to the capital of the kingdom, he asked Maria's two daughters what they wanted him to bring back.

One of the sisters, Anatasha, said: "I want beautiful clothes."

My sister Drusula shouted: "I want pearls and diamonds."

At this time, Cinderella happened to be working in the yard. Mr. Green saw her and said, "My child, what do you want?"

Cinderella didn't dare to ask for anything, so she said: "Dear dad, just break the first branch that touches your hat on your way home."

Then when Mr. Green came back, he gave Cinderella a hazel branch. Cinderella took the branch to her mother's grave and planted it next to the grave. She would go to the grave three times a day and cry every time.

When the ground cries, the tears will continue to drip on the branches, watering it, and the branches will soon grow into a beautiful big tree. Soon a dove will come to build a nest in the tree.
