Chapter 38 Princess Minning Minnat (2)
After hearing this, Socie was very depressed for a while, but soon cheered up again. "Tell me what I have to do to win the princess's heart, no matter how hard it is, I will do it. Tell me how I can repay your kindness, I should give you something. I can give you every day Send firewood?"

"You bring firewood every day, that's enough," the old woman said, taking out a ball of thread, and said, "Take this ball of thread, one day you will need it, and when it is useless, what you have experienced The ordeal is over."

"Is this the thread of my life?" he asked.

"It's the thread of your love luck," she said.

So he took the ball of thread and left.

The Fairy Groot who raised Sosi had an old friend named Grimes, who was Prince Fruit's protector.Grimes once mentioned the young prince to Groot. She felt that the prince was old enough to be in charge of his own country, so she talked to Groot about marrying the prince.Groot didn't even think about it, didn't ask any questions, just imagined the cute appearance of Minning Minnat, Grimes had made up his mind to spare no effort to facilitate this marriage, so Prince Fruit also came To the palace of the princess.However, although the young prince was very elegant and handsome, the princess thought he was a bit effeminate, and the princess said her opinion directly.As a result, Fairy Grimes was very angry with her and Evelyn, and Grimes declared, Minning?Minnet will never be happy until she finds a bridge without a hole, a bird without feathers.After speaking, she left.

The king said he could do these things for the princess.Before leaving, Evelyn gave him back his horse and sword, and although these things were a small consolation compared to not seeing the princess, they were better than nothing.He felt that maybe these things would lead him back to the princess again.

The king passed through several deserts, and finally came to a country where there seemed to be no one, but he was caught as soon as he stepped on the border, and he was chained and brought to the capital.He asked the guard why he was arrested, but the guard only told him that this was in the territory of the Iron King.In that era, countries did not have their own names, but were named after their rulers.

The young king was taken before the Iron King, who was sitting on a black throne in the hall, and the throne was also hung with black things, in memory of all his relatives who were executed by him.

"What have you come to my country for?" he called out viciously.

"I came here by chance," replied Southey, "and, if I should escape from you, I will take you as a warning to treat the people as you do."

"How dare you insult me ​​in my court," cried the King, "and take him to the little cottage!"

The Little Comfort Room was an iron cage suspended by four strong chains in a great domed hall, in which the prisoner could neither sit, stand, nor lie down; and, here It's cold for a while, hot for a while, it's really unbearable.There are a hundred thick bolts in this iron cage, and there is no way to escape.Although it was Groot's duty to take care of Socie, she was so complacent about her new idea that she had forgotten Socie long ago.If Evelyn hadn't come to the rescue, he would have died long ago.Evelyn whispered in his ear, "Where's the ball of thread?" He obediently took out the ball of thread, but he couldn't see how it could help him.However, he drew the line and tied it to an iron railing of the iron cage--it seemed to be the only way he could do this--he pulled the line, and the railing was pulled away. The iron fence was broken.After a while, he escaped from the iron cage, and opened the tightly closed hall window in the same way.

But after opening the window, he was still far from being free, because there was a high wall in front of him, which was so smooth that even monkeys could not climb it.Suzy's heart sank.He couldn't think of any other way, so he had to wait until he died, but he thought he couldn't take advantage of the Iron King, so he threw his precious ball of thread into the air and said, "Oh, fairy, you didn't Can't help me get rid of the misfortune. I am very grateful for your kindness, but please take back your gift!" The fairy sympathized with the young man and hoped that he would have confidence. She saw that the other end of the thread was still in his hand.Suddenly, Suoxi felt that someone pulled the thread, and felt that the thread must have caught something. He was desperate just now, but now he mustered up courage again.He said to himself, "It is better to trust a rope than to trust the king's mercy." Then he slid down the rope and found himself standing safe and sound outside the wall.So, he rolled up the ball of thread, carefully put it in his pocket, and silently thanked the fairy in his heart.

At this moment, Mingning?Minnette has learned about the prince's adventures from Evelyn. When she knew how the Iron King treated the prince, she was very angry and prepared to launch a war against the Iron Kingdom.She had secretly planned everything, so that when the army was assembled, everyone felt that there would be chaos in the world. Of course, it would be very difficult to hide these things from the fairy godmother.Anyway, Grimes soon heard about it, Minning?Minnat rejected Prince Fruit, and she has never forgiven Minning Minnat, and now, she felt that the opportunity for revenge had come.

Before that, could Evelyn stop Grimes from using many vicious tricks and protect Minning?Minnut, but once she is far away, there is nothing she can do.The princess announced that she was going to lead an army, and began to go hunting every day to train herself.The fairy begged her to be careful, not to step out of the territory, out of the border, otherwise she would not be able to protect her.The princess agreed, and for several days nothing happened.But unfortunately, one morning, Minning Minert was trotting slowly on her white steed, so preoccupied with Socie that she completely missed her borders (actually, she didn't know it herself. where the borders are).Suddenly, she found herself in front of a house, which was completely made of dead leaves. Seeing this, for some reason, all kinds of unpleasant thoughts came to her mind.Remembering Evelyn's advice, she tried to turn the horse's head, but her horse stood there motionless, as if turned into a marble statue.Then the princess felt that her movements also slowed down, and she felt a force trying to pull herself off the horse.She screamed and clutched at the saddle, but it was no use.She wanted to escape, but there was no one stronger than her, so she had no choice but to follow that road to the house of dead leaves.

As soon as her foot hit the threshold, Grimes appeared. "Look, here you are at last, Minnin? Minnat! I've been waiting for you for so long, I set a trap from the beginning. Come here, dear! I'll teach you how to fight my friend! The ending is definitely not what you imagined. Now, what you have to do is to kneel before the king and beg his forgiveness. Before he agrees to reconcile, you have to ask him to allow you to be his wife. At the same time, you have to do My girl."

From that day on the princess had to do the hardest and dirtiest work, and every morning there was the most disgusting work for her.Besides that, she had nothing to eat, but a little black bread, and she had no bed, but slept on some straw.The wicked fairy also sent the princess to watch the geese at the hottest time of the day, and if the princess had not picked up a fan in the field by chance, and used it to shield her face, she would probably have sunstroke.Of course, generally speaking, goose girls don't use fans much, but the princess didn't think so much.When she opened her fan to shade the sun, a letter fell out of the fan, which was written by her lover. Seeing this letter, she forgot all her troubles.Then she cheered up, sure in her heart that her Fairy had not forgotten her.

Seeing that Minning Minnat's skin was still as white as snow, and had not turned as black as coal, Grimes wondered what was going on, and began to watch the princess closely.The next day, when the sun was high and it was at its hottest, she saw the princess take out a fan from under her dress, and covered her face.Seeing this, the fairy was furious and wanted to snatch the fan, but the princess would not let go. "Give me the fan!" cried Grimes.

"I won't give it to death!" replied the princess. She didn't know where the safest place was to put the fan, so she stepped on it.All of a sudden, she only felt that her feet had left the ground, and the fan was under her feet. Grimes was dizzy, and before she recovered, the princess had already risen to the sky quickly, and Grimes was no longer Can't catch her.

During this period, Suoxi has been looking for his beloved princess everywhere, and his precious string has been carefully tied to his body. He has searched every possible place where the princess can appear, and also searched every place where the princess cannot appear.Though sometimes he found traces of her, or messages carved into rocks, or writings carved into the bark of trees, but nowhere was the Princess's person to be seen. "If she's not on the ground," Socie thought, "maybe she's hiding somewhere in the sky, and I'll go find her in the sky." So, with the help of his ball of thread, he tried to fly up, but he could only Flying a little bit high and hurting badly every time I fell down.But he still didn't give up. After many days of hard work and many falls, he was pleased to find that he could fly higher and stay in the air longer.Gradually, he was able to fly freely in the air.But alas!It seems that the sky is the same as the earth, and she can't be seen. Suoxi is a little discouraged, thinking that he has to go to the sea to find her.He flew sadly, and didn't care where he was going, when suddenly he saw a beautiful bird with bright colors flying towards him in the distance.His heart was pounding--he didn't know why--and he and the bird flew close, and the voice of the princess called out: "Look, is there any more featherless bird?" A bridge in a bridge hole!"

So they met each other in the air, which was a great joy, and the fan was enlarged so that both the King and Evelyn could stand on it, and Evelyn hastened to give them some good advice.She ordered the fan to fly over the place where the two armies faced each other.The battle lasted for a long time, and many people died, but in the end the Iron King had to surrender to the princess, who sent him to herd the sheep for Southy, and of course made him take a solemn oath to treat the sheep well.

Then there was the wedding of King Soshie and the Princess, with Groot in attendance, and they had a hard time finding her.She was also amazed how much had happened in her absence.
