Xie Sicheng looked at the woman in front of him coldly, even in the dim candlelight, he could see her cherry lips smeared with pink lipstick. Ever since he first saw her twelve years ago, he wanted the flute in his hand to pass through her cherry lips and through her beautiful head.

Xie Sicheng will never forget that she kicked him to the ground and kicked him with her embroidered shoes until he ate the feces on the ground in his mouth, and she let him go.

It was she who told him that he had to endure hardships in order to become a master.

Her so-called hardship is to torture him every day, and she never hurts his face and limbs, because then her stepfather will find out.

She also told him that if he dared to tell his father-in-law about this, then Sijin would be thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves.

Xie Sicheng was only seven years old that year, and he lived in Luoyang City before he was brought back by this woman.

Luoyang City is very prosperous, and there are many rich people, but the place where they live is South Street, where the poor are gathered.

Xie Sicheng remembered very early, he vaguely remembered that at first he lived here with a grandmother, the grandmother was very old, but he loved him very much, the grandmother set up a stall at the mouth of Hualiu Lane to sell small sugar cakes, every day the grandmother would take him out of the stall together, break half a sugar cake for him, he was eating, while helping the grandmother to drink, the girls in Hualiu Alley saw that he was beautiful, and often bought a few more small sugar cakes.

He asked his mother, "Everyone else has a father, but what about my father?" ”

Mama shook her head and said that she didn't know, she picked him up at the door of the house, but she guessed that his father and mother must be rich, because when she picked him up, his swaddling clothes were satin-faced and embroidered with flowers, and he was a full five coins of silver.

Later, Mama died, and the girls in Hualiu Lane saw him pitiful and begged her mother to adopt him.

He came to Hualiu Lane from South Street, and ran up the stairs every day with two little short legs, helping the girls buy fragrant flowers and melon seeds.

One day, his mother called him over, pointed to a woman in front of him, and said that this was his mother and was going to take him back.

The woman was dressed plainly, but she was very beautiful.

His mother took him back to South Street, where they lived in Mama's former dilapidated house. His mother never went out, but let him go to the street every day to buy food.

Every day, my mother would sit on the chaise longue where my grandmother used to sit and bask in the sun in the yard, and she would often look at the sky, and this view would be the whole afternoon.

His mother would sometimes ask him to buy alcohol, and when he drank alcohol, he would beat him, and when he was tired, his mother would hold him and cry again, and push him away while crying.

There were occasional times when his mother was in a good mood, when she would teach him to read, and he cherished such moments, he learned quickly, and he wanted to make his mother happy.

One day, his mother gave him money and told him to go out into the street to buy a flute, and from that day on, he would sit in the yard and play the flute. When the neighbor heard this, he knocked on the door, but his mother would not let him open the door, and when the neighbor saw that no one answered the door, he stopped being curious.

From then on, he knew that his mother didn't want to go out and didn't want to see anyone.

Strange to say, since he had this flute, his mother stopped drinking, stopped beating him, and taught him to play the flute, and he soon became able to play simple tunes, and his mother often praised him.

After another half a year, one day, his mother gave him ten taels of silver and asked him to go to the street to buy a roast chicken.

He had only spent five copper plates on the roast chicken, but when he returned, he found that his mother was gone, and only the flute was left on the chaise long.

He searched the entire South Street, but he couldn't find his mother.

That day, he sat in the chaise longue where his mother used to sit until dawn.

The next day, he hid the remaining silver from the roast chicken he bought yesterday in the kang cave, took the flute left by his mother, and went to Hualiu Lane.

From then on, he was often called by the girls to play the flute in front of the guests, because he was young and handsome, and the guests would give him a reward every time, and at the end of the day he could earn seven or eight copper coins.

There is a master who plays music in Hualiu Lane, and when he has nothing to do, the master will also guide him, and his flute will play better and better, and the master smiled and said to him: "You study hard, and in a few years, you will be able to follow the church." ”

So he studied very hard, and in the evening, he found a place where no one was around, and practiced alone until late.

He thought that this was the end of his life, he would grow up in Hualiu Lane, play music in Hualiu Lane, and when he grew up, he would also be a master and accept apprentices, and become a well-known music master in Luoyang City.

But he didn't expect that a year later, his mother appeared in front of him again, but this time it was different from the last time, and his mother had a big belly.

He said goodbye to his master and followed his mother back to the dilapidated house on South Street. On the tenth day after her mother's return, she gave birth to a girl doll on the family's kang.

He had never seen such a beautiful little baby, his sister's face was as white as goat's milk, he secretly touched it with his fingertips, it was soft, and he was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand, for fear that if he touched it again, he would break his sister.

But her mother did not like her sister, and when she gave birth to her sister, she heard that it was a girl, so she cried hatefully: "How is it a woman, how is it a woman?" ”

After his mother was out of confinement, he still didn't like his sister, so in order to please his mother, he brought the flute to his mother, he remembered that his mother liked to play the flute the most, and he would not beat him when he played the flute.

His mother threw the flute out of the window into the courtyard and said to him viciously, "If you want to play the flute, go and play it to the kiln sisters." ”

He also wanted to go back to Hualiu Lane to play the flute, but he didn't dare to go out, he was afraid that his mother would throw his sister away when he was away.

More than once he heard his mother say to his sister, "If you dare to cry again, I will throw you away." ”

If my sister continued to cry, her mother would raise her face and slap her.

My sister is only a few months old baby, but it seems to be sensible, I was beaten and scolded by my mother a few times, so I stopped crying loudly, just sobbed quietly, but my mother still annoyed my sister, and whenever this time, he ran in and hid away with my sister.

He played the flute for his sister, and she would smile at him.

My sister smiled beautifully, he had never seen anyone smile so good.

When my sister was five months old, my mother's body was well recuperated, and she began to drink again, giving him money to buy wine and meat on the street, as she had done before.

He had a hunch that he felt that his mother was going to leave again, like last time, without a trace.

But this time, he was looking forward to his mother leaving, but he was afraid that his mother would take his sister away.

Therefore, whenever he went out to buy food, he followed the example of a woman on the South Street, tied his sister to his back with a cloth belt, and he went out with his sister on his back.

He would also quietly leave some of the money that his mother bought for him every time, and he hid all the money he saved in the kang cave.

He was only six years old that year, and he vaguely felt that he and his sister would have to live on the money in the kang cave in the future.
