in the window

Xie Chen silently looked at everything outside the window, and his little hands clenched fiercely. Faintly, a trace of scars could be seen, and the scars were covered with blood, apparently cut before.

At this time, outside the window, a girl who looked to be ** years old was playing with a group of children who looked about her age. From time to time, he chased other boys running back and forth in the open space outside the house, and the scene looked very warm.

The girl's name is Xie Xin, and she is a child of the Xie family's side children. But I don't know what the reason is, among the children in this generation who are next to the Xie family, they are either still learning to walk, or they are almost sixteen years old and adults, so the only peers who can play with her are in their yard.

Naturally, Xie Xin grew up playing with children like Xie Chen since he was a child. Of course, it can also be said that it is the favorite person of every child in their yard. Or maybe because of their identity, they haven't seen any other girls except Xie Xin. So even if she is mediocre, she is very popular.

"Hey", Xie Chen looked out the window and sighed. Although I am very envious, there is no other way, and I actually want to be like other children in my heart. But now he can't be like before, all because his adoptive mother died of illness not long ago, and he is only left with the status of a servant.

He was adopted by a servant of the Xie family since he was a child, and his adoptive mother has been taking care of him for so many years, and the children around him are the same as himself. Life is not rich, but it is also very happy. Maybe God couldn't get used to him like this, but the sudden blow also made Xie Chen fall from a stable life to the bottom in an instant.

After spending a day or two in the painful days, he found that he still had to solve the problem of food and clothing. In the past, when his aunt was there, this was far from needing him to take care of it, but now it is different from the past.

The condition under which a servant wants to survive is simple, and that is hard labor. Even if you see people in the Xie family, it is normal to see people in their seventies and eighties still embroidering, because of their identity.

So not long ago, Xie Chen found a job that was not very easy. Looking back at the mountains of dishes and chopsticks piled up in the house, Xie Chen was tired but could only endure it silently.

No one will sympathize with someone who has no status, or not without sympathy for them. The reason is simply that he is just a servant.

In the Xie family.

It is roughly divided into four types of people, the first type is mainly the descendants of the Xie family, who enjoy all kinds of glory and wealth from birth, the best treatment, and all conditions are also the best. At the age of six, you can start to choose some exercises to cultivate your physique.

In the first category, the children of the Xie family are not as good as the descendants, but the food and drink are not comparable to ordinary people, and they are also very face-saving outside. Or the only difference may be that it is only possible to cultivate when you are an adult. Often the status is not as good as the descendants, but fortunately, the number of descendants is very small, and the Xie family is generally managed by the personnel of the descendants. And Xie Xin belongs to the children of the Xie family.

There are also some martial artists recruited by the Xie family from outside, generally speaking, most of them only know some very superficial kung fu, and they are not even real martial artists. In the Xie family, it is only a kind of guard.

As for the last category is domestic servants, of course, the domestic servants of the Xie family will never be found from outside, most of them are inherited from generation to generation, and they have no names, most of them are called at random, although Xie Chen doesn't know what his adoptive mother's name is, but he has also heard adults point out that he was a child picked up by Ah Fang, so Xie Chen thinks that his adoptive mother must be called Ah Fang.

As for why his name is Xie Chen, his adoptive mother just said that it was morning when she picked him up, and she didn't want to be a servant for the rest of her life, which mother didn't want her child to get ahead, so she secretly gave herself this name.

Of course, the name outside is a more bloody name like Goudan, and as for the other children together, they are not much better than Xie Chen, either Ergou or Heizi or something, so Xie Chen doesn't think it's anything.

Although he is said to be a servant, there will be some silver taels of subsidies in the Xie family every month. Of course, you have to do hard labor in the Xie family, otherwise the Xie family will not raise some idlers with no status.

Xie Chen's adoptive mother is this fourth type of person, so Xie Chen is naturally a servant of the Xie family. It's just that he is young, so everything in his life is taken care of by his adoptive mother, and it wasn't until the accident a month ago that he began to become less ignorant than before.

In Xie Chen's eyes, although he didn't know how big the Xie family was, he knew that the place where he had lived all these years was just an annex of the Xie family, and it was abandoned, and only servants like them who couldn't afford to buy a house lived in this courtyard.

The yard is not very large, there are about a dozen families, and Xie Chen and his adoptive mother are one of them.

Maybe his adoptive mother has taught him not to run around since he was a child, so he has only left the yard twice since Xie Chen became sensible. One time I went to the woods behind the yard, the forest was very large, and that time Xie Chen only walked a short distance and ran back, and he had some gains. Another time, he secretly followed Xie Xin and watched her into the backyard.

So in Xie Chen's eyes, this is not a very big yard, but it is all his memories over the years.

Originally, life was worry-free, and occasionally I could be with the girl I liked, and Xie Chenzhi was also very happy

evening

Xie Chen had been busy since the sun had not risen in the morning, and now he had finally cleaned up all the dishes and chopsticks, stood up and moved his not yet fully developed bones, and then got up and prepared to leave.

After Xie Chen went out, he quickly ran to the house close to the yard and fetched a piece of food, the food was very simple, a steamed bun and a bowl of vegetable soup, the reason why he ran was also because Xie Chen was afraid that he would be hungry if he closed the door if he went late, because Xie Chen was hungry for some days because he went late a few days ago, which made his already thin body even weaker.

In these days, Xie Chen, who had never known what was in that room, gradually understood that it was the place where their servants ate, and it was also the place where the Xie family fed them, of course, if you want to eat well, you can do it, but you have to pay for it, for the penniless Xie Chen, of course he can't afford to eat those, but when his adoptive mother is there, he can still occasionally eat some meat, so now he can only play the most standard portion.

After devouring on a side stool in the room, Xie Chen looked less tired than before, but a little more energetic.

After eating, Xie Chen walked to his room.

The house was dark, there were no lights, and there was no stove for decent heating. Xie Chen slowly leaned into the wood, which looked very shabby.

As the night slowly approached, Xie Chen slowly closed his eyes.

In the dream, his adoptive mother was still the same as before, but she looked older.

In reality, the corners of Xie Chen's eyes were already wet, and tears spread endlessly.
