Chapter 140: Poor little boy

I was taken to the backyard by Aunt Shen Liu, where there were medicinal herbs that were fresh or not.

The whole yard was filled with a strong smell of medicine.

"You've been doing well lately and you've gained the trust of Xinglin. As a companion, I can finally teach you what I have to do. That is to handle and store these medicinal materials, this is something very important for cultivators, but you have to pay attention! In Aunt Shen Liu's words, there was an affirmation of me for the first time, but the tone was still high, like a gift.

After saying this, she threw me a booklet, which probably recorded the handling methods of various medicinal herbs, and how to store them, and then she walked away.

But is it really trusted? I flipped through the booklet, but it was as clear as a mirror in my mind. Now I can't find fault with what they want me to do, it's just to find one more way for me to make mistakes.

There are many and miscellaneous medicinal materials here, and the way to deal with them is cumbersome and complicated, and a professional person may make a mistake if he is not careful, let alone a rookie like me who knows nothing about medicinal materials.

I sighed softly, and told myself in my heart that I must be careful and careful, and I can't let them catch any chance of making mistakes.

I asked myself if I was a person who was cautious and viciously speculated about others, but I don't know why, the longer I met Shen Xinglin, the more terrible I had the illusion that she hated me, hated to the bone There was a kind of madness, and if there was a chance, she wouldn't mind killing me.

This thought was not only terrible, but also so dark that I felt shuddering myself, and with the booklet in my hand, I couldn't help but shudder.

It's been almost a month, even if Shen Jingyun has to take three months to deal with the things in his mouth, then I have suffered a third of the days, and I can't easily admit defeat.

Just when I was thinking about it, Aunt Shen Liu didn't know when she returned to this backyard and shouted at me, "What are you still standing here for, don't you go to eat?" Wait a minute, you miss the time to eat, and you will feel that we are abusing you in Xinglin! ”

I was startled, and quickly put down the booklet in my hand, remembering that it was indeed time to eat.

Aunt Shen Liu's tone was unkind, but this kind of reminder was kind, and it was the first time in the world, which made me feel flattered, could it really be that I was thinking too much? Or has it been my efforts during this time that have touched their master and servant?

Not everyone in the village needs to go to the restaurant to eat, such as Shen Xinglin, she has her own exclusive supply, in my opinion, no worse than the diet of the rich and powerful in the ordinary world.

And the food in the restaurant, the best is what kind of first-class meal, but I haven't seen what it is.

However, I am very satisfied with my so-called lowest meal, at least better than the first-class meal that Shen Jingyun and I had last time.

Because, the lowest meal is a big bowl of rice, accompanied by some yams, yellow essence and the like, and occasionally there will be a meat dish or vegetarian dish to match, which can make people eat very full.

I hurriedly ate in the restaurant, but I couldn't sit and eat in it, and there was no place for me in the restaurant for people like me who ate the lowest meals.

In this village, not everyone is from a high-ranking side family, they also need some people to help them take care of trivial matters, take care of their daily life, etc., just like Shen Jingyun's Shen family, isn't there also a lot of servants? I belong to this category, and none of the people in this category are qualified to eat in restaurants.

On weekdays, they gather in a corner behind the restaurant, and then eat in groups.

Seeing that they are very happy, they are very satisfied to stay next to the Shen family, and it seems that they are not deliberately targeted like me. If that's the case, even if it's in the Shen family's house, no one can stay so happily, right?

They also have their own small groups, and although I have been here for almost a month, I am in a hurry every time, and I can't fit into their group.

Most of the time, I was alone in cooking, sitting silently in a corner, and leaving when I was done.

However, it was also one of my most relaxing moments, sitting in the corner and listening to these people say this or that, and there was no shortage of gossip about my master, and I felt like I was still in the world.

"Don't you have any meat in your meal today?" As usual, I sat down in a corner, but a childish child's voice sounded in my ears.

When I looked up, I couldn't help but smile, and in front of me was a fairly handsome little boy, not very old, but his face was thin and a little yellow, and it was the only person I had ever met in the village who was friendly to me.

And our acquaintance, also very peculiar, is in one meal, I got a chicken leg, in this village that seems to be very reluctant to eat meat, this is a very unusual treatment, when I took the chicken leg to eat Zhengxiang, I saw this little boy, he was watching me eat chicken leg blankly.

Before, I also had a little impression of him, I remember that he seemed to be the child of a servant, and he also ate with adults, and I didn't expect him to come to me and watch me eat chicken legs.

"Don't you have chicken legs?" I was curious because the maids' meals were the same.

"Yes, but I finished eating it quickly." He said to me with some regret, staring at my food.

Looking at him, I don't know why, I suddenly felt a feeling of pity, in this modern society, it is rare to see such a thin child, and the face is so ugly... Perhaps, in this village, almost no meat is eaten, and eating what yellow essence and yam are good for cultivators, but for a child who is growing up, it is a bit cruel, because it cannot support the nutrients he needs to grow.

So, thinking of this, I sent the uneaten chicken leg to the child.

This was the beginning of my relationship with him, and then I got acquainted with him, he would always come and ask me for a little meat, and if he didn't, he didn't mind eating with me, he was the only kindness I received in the village, and I cherished him by my side.

In the intermittent relationship, I learned that this child is from the Shen family, but not all the Shen family's foreign families are as beautiful as the one Shen Jingyun is in, and some are just ordinary people, no different from ordinary people.

This little guy named Shen Xiaohe has a more difficult family than ordinary families, so I jokingly call him Shen Xiaohe.

Therefore, it is already an opportunity for his father to bring his family to this Shen family as a servant, which is what Shen Xiaohe inadvertently revealed to me.

In addition, I also knew that his father's lifelong dream was that Shen Xiaohe could have a relatively good cultivation talent and be an ordinary clansman of this Shen family's sideline.

At this time, Shen Xiaohe was standing in front of me with a pity on his face, looking at my lunch box without meat, I couldn't help but rummage through it, but I could only say to him regretfully: "It's a pity, there is no meat at all." Next time, if you have it, I'll give it all to you. ”

Shen Xiaohe swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at me in surprise and said, "Really? ”

"Really, wait a little longer, and I'll give you a lot of food." I smiled and said, of course, I mean that when I leave here, I will definitely ask Shen Jingyun to find a way to get this kid something to eat at his age. After all, in this village, the servants do not have the right to go out at will, and even if they do, there is no extra money to buy anything for this child.

The servants are in an inferior position here, and the only benefit here is that the aura is very abundant, which can give them a chance to become a member of the Shen family's side clan, although it is very small, it is also greater than being in the Shen family's foreign family.

"That's good." Shen Xiaohe dragged his chin and sat next to me, and I reached out and touched his head.

But he didn't look very happy.

"What's wrong?" As I ate, I asked him, and I knew that this kid was an optimist, and he rarely looked so preoccupied.

"In a few days, my parents will be very busy, and I may have to be at home all day. I was not old enough to go to school with my older siblings in the village. "Shen Xiaohe told me his heart 1510.

Indeed, there is more than one child like him in the village, and he is usually arranged to go to a nearby village primary school at a certain age, and the fixed process is to go to junior high school.

If parents feel that they want their children to get more education, the Shen family will no longer support them, so they have to find their own way. In short, it is not easy to survive here for such a child.

"Why are you busy?" I asked curiously, what day is not busy here? They are better than me, except that none of them are deliberately targeted.

Shen Xiaohe heard me ask, his eyes looked around, and then whispered in my ear: "I eavesdropped on what my parents said, they said that the master (the host who is waiting) said that there will be a big man in the village in a few days, and he must be careful and thoughtful to serve something, so he will be very busy." ”

After speaking, Shen Xiaohe sighed heavily.

In such a village, the status of children like them is very low, and if their parents are busy, they can only be locked up at home, and their home is actually a room assigned by the owner.

Although there are many entertainment facilities for children in this village, on weekdays, people from other villages who do not know the truth are allowed to play, in fact, it is a device for the children of the real Shen clan's side clan, and the treatment of the children of the clan is completely different from these children.

And at such a young age, they lack playmates and are not free to move, and their parents are their biggest support.

Once parents are busy, it's really not good news for them.

I didn't think about who the big man was coming, but I was racking my brains and wondering how I could comfort the poor little boy.

However, there was no chance, and over there, my mother, who had finished eating, called out to him, and he rubbed his head against my arm and left.

Poor boy, I looked at his back and thought, if it was just him, I really wanted to ask Shen Jingyun to take him away, but if that happened, it would ruin his parents' dreams, right?
