C13 Sharp Dew

"You?" Xie Xuan's expression changed. The most taboo thing was that someone would call Jiang Xia blind in front of him. If the situation wasn't different, he would have already fallen out.

Lin Hai and the rest frowned as they looked at the Wu father and son duo in dissatisfaction. The atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became weird. Zhang Dawang was afraid that something would happen, so he immediately smiled and became the "peacemaker", "Haha, haha, Xiao Wen!" Uncle Zhang was already in his grade, but he had never heard of a zither master playing a zither before! Today, since your dad and his blind date are here, why don't you show us your hand? Let us all gain experience? "

"Right, right, right. Show me your skills. Show me your skills." The villagers also wanted to help Xie Xuan and shouted loudly.

Zhang Dawang then signaled Zhang Daguan from the side. The latter immediately understood and rushed into the inner hall. In a hurry, he ran out with a black Five-String Lyre in his hand.

"Brother Lin Wen, I, your little brother, have admired you and Brother Lin Woo for a long time. I have even prepared a guqin for you, so why don't you show me your skills!" "Hehe." Zhang Daguan held the zither in front of Lin Wen and said with a smile. Following that, two more people brought a low table for playing the zither to the lobby.

Lin Wen frowned, he could see through Zhang Dawang's intention, but he was helpless as everyone's interest was piqued. Adding on that he really wanted to show off, his eyebrows slightly raised as he took the Five-String Lyre from Zhang Daguan's hands, "Okay, since you are in such a hurry to hear it, I have no choice but to be disrespectful."

"Alright, alright." Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Lin Wen carried the zither and placed it on the table. Then, he threw his clothes and sat down in front of the table.

Everyone quieted down as they stared at Lin Wen with burning gazes. The latter had a proud smile on his face as he placed his hands on the zither strings and moved his fingers quickly.

A beautiful and cheerful melody immediately reached everyone's ears. The small stream was flowing with jingling sounds, and the flowing water was long and melodious. Everyone couldn't help but be affected by Lin Wen's playing and reveal a faint smile.

Zhang Dawang was slightly relieved, while admiring the beautiful sound, he secretly admired himself, "Luckily I was prepared, or else I wouldn't be able to think of Xie Xuan's prey in the future. After this incident, I will ask him for a few game dishes."

Although many people were immersed in Lin Wen's music, for Jiang Xia, the other person's playing could only barely catch his ears, "Could it be that teacher's Qinwu Academy has been ruined by someone? You can become a court musician at this level? "

Xia Angang shook her head. She was too lazy to listen to Lin Wen play from the back. Xie Xuan, on the other hand, had an intoxicated look on his face. He thought of how his wife and children were waiting for their food when he came back from hunting, and he had such a happy feeling in his heart.

After a moment, the song ended. Lin Wen looked at the expressions of the crowd in the lobby and felt very proud of himself. The feeling of falling into the water disappeared with the sound of the zither. Xie Xuan and the others slowly turned around as if they had not finished their training.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, that's really too nice to listen to."

"I can feel myself flowing along the stream."

"Is this the power of a zither master? I really want to hear another song. "

As exclamations of admiration came out from the mouths of the crowd, Lin Hai's chubby face squeezed into a smile. Bringing his two sons here today was just giving him face, and he didn't let down his expectations.

The wine cup in his hand slightly trembled, and the shine of the rat's eyes shot out in all directions, "This is too, this is great. Xiao Wen, when you become a zither player of the palace, you must properly promote Daguan. Come, come, sit, quickly sit."

Lin Wen was about to lift his face up to the sky. He stood up and returned to the table, and just as he was about to return Zhang Dawang's wine, he suddenly saw Jiang Xia and Wu Wei. His face immediately stiffened. "I was wondering, why are you two still here?"

Everyone was stunned, Zhang Dawang quickly pushed his hand away, "Hehe, Little Wen, I think we should forget about it!"

"Hmph, Uncle Zhang, it's not that I don't want to give you face, but look at my father and brother here. You're the head of the village, how can you possibly sit at the same table as these two?" Lin Wen looked at Jiang Xia with disdain, especially at the sight of Jiang Xia's grey eyes.

Xie Xuan took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart. He then cupped his fist and said to Zhang Dawang, "Village Head, Xia and I will leave first. You two take your time."

"This one." Zhang Dawang had a troubled expression on his face. He begged Lin Hai but didn't dare to say anything more.

Xie Xuan pulled Jiang Xia's arm, "Xia, let's go." Lin Wen and Lin Woo already revealed a disdainful smile.

Surprisingly, Jiang Xia stood still on the spot. Xie Xuan frowned and said softly, "Xia, you?"

Jiang Xia let go of Xie Xuan's hand gently. With a bit of coldness in his grey eyes, he said, "Dad, I can play the zither too. I rarely come here today. How about you let me do something for you?"

When these words came out, the entire audience was stunned. Lin Wen and the rest ridiculed him: "Hey, a blind person like you can play the zither? Is he really boasting shamelessly? "

Before anyone could say anything, Jiang Xia suddenly grabbed a chopstick by his side. With a flick of his wrist, he threw the chopstick towards the Five-String Lyre on the table. "Whoosh!" Sharp and high, the powerful zither music gave everyone a fright.

Before the sound faded away, Jiang Xia's figure flashed and appeared before the short table. His ten fingers lightly rapped the zither string. "Sheng!" Another voice even louder than the previous one echoed in the air.

Just these two moves were enough to scare Xie Xuan and the others quite badly. Lin Wen was even more surprised to the point that his jaw almost fell off. Jiang Xia moved both of his hands on the zither and the sound waves hit everyone's body and mind, causing their hearts to jump out of their bodies.

Everyone closed their eyes, feeling the pressure of the mountain and river, feeling the rolling waves of energy. Liu Tie, Zhang Dawang, Zhang Daguan, Lin Hai, and the others all had traces of excitement on their faces, as if their bodies were floating in the sky, as if they were sitting on clouds.

After Qu Bi, Jiang Xia ended with a light sound. The entire hall was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard, but everyone could still hear the resounding sound of the zither.

A moment later, Lin Wen was the first to come back to his senses. When he saw that Lin Hai, Lin Woo and the rest were infected by Jiang Xia's zither music, the anger in his heart surged to the top of his heart, "Bang!" After slamming their palms onto the table, everyone's body trembled as they quickly regained their senses.

"What's going on? "What's going on?"

"That feeling just now was awesome. It was as if my entire body was flying."

Everyone whispered in discussion. A few of them were quite angry and secretly accused Lin Wen of interrupting their wonderful show. Xie Xuan was undoubtedly the most shocked one. He came forward happily and held his son's arm, "Xia, when did you learn to play the zither? Furthermore, it's so powerful? "

Jiang Xia shook his head and smiled: "Dad, let's go back and talk! I don't want to stay here. "

"Alright, alright." Xie Xuan's face was full of excitement. What Jiang Xia did was undoubtedly the happiest thing for a father, and all the unhappiness he had just now was for naught.

"Village Head, I'm going back with Xia?" Xie Xuan was in a great mood as he cupped his fist politely.

Zhang Dawang was still astonished. What happened just now had not brought him back to his senses. He opened his mouth slightly and said, "Ah, ah, alright."

Everyone couldn't help but want to laugh when they saw the Village Chief's expression, but they held it in. The expressions of the three people of Lin Hai were especially ugly. Lin Wen was surprised, angry, and jealous. He really couldn't understand how a blind person's zither skills far surpassed his.

Lin Woo frowned and appeared in front of Jiang Xia to stop the two, "Little brother, I am very impressed by your zither skills. I just wonder how good your martial arts are? I would like to be enlightened? "

Xie Xuan calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Young Master Lin, are you trying to force me into a corner?"

"Heh heh, Uncle Xie, why do you say that? I just want to compare notes with little brother. " Before the two of them replied, Lin Woo had already placed his palm right in front of Jiang Xia's face.

Xie Xuan's eyebrows jumped. Surprisingly, he didn't intervene to stop Lin Woo. What was even more surprising was that Jiang Xia also stretched out his right palm to meet Lin Woo's attack.

The two palms collided. Before Lin Woo could make his next move, a ferocious wave of hidden force hit Jiang Xia's palm. "Peng!" Wu Tie was caught off guard and his body was thrown back by the impact.

"Hu!"

The entire audience gasped. The level three Lin Woo was knocked out of the arena by Jiang Xia. Everyone's eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets. Zhang Dawang's mouth was gaping so wide that a goose egg could be stuffed inside.

Zhang Daguan's lips quivered slightly as he thought back to five years ago, when he was punched by Jiang Xia and his bones were broken, just like what happened yesterday.

Lin Woo stood on the spot and looked at Jiang Xia in fear. His entire arm was already trembling, but his heart was shaking even more. Was he blind? A blind person who could not see anything?

Jiang Xia stared coldly at the other party with his greyish white eyes, "Can I leave now?"

Xie Xuan pulled his proud son up and left the hall without looking back. Then, he disappeared from everyone's sight. Silence, an incomparable silence filled the entire room.

Lin Hai remained silent. Although he was unwilling, he had nothing to say. This was something that his two sons had started, and if he were to pursue this matter, it would inevitably cause everyone to become tongue-tied. Lin Wen and Lin Woo had a face full of hatred. They swore in their hearts that they wouldn't let Jiang Xia off so easily.

= = =.

On the way back, Xie Xuan's mood could be said to be exceptionally good. As he walked, he hummed a small song with five intonations incomplete. His excited appearance was in stark contrast to the lost Jiang Xia.

"Xia, who taught you the zither arts?" Xie Xuan asked.

"Eh?" Jiang Xia was surprised for a moment before he nodded, "Father, let's talk after we go back to see the Queen!"

"Alright!" Xie Xuan grinned.

Jiang Yan and Mengyu, who were having lunch, heard Xie Xuan's loud music from outside. Mengyu's eyes lit up and she quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands. "Aunt, Brother Jiang Xia and the others are back."

Jiang Yan smiled and shook her head. She looked tenderly at Mengyu who was hurriedly leaving, "Looks like my Xia will be able to get a wife soon."

"Brother Jiang Xia, Uncle Xie Xuan." Mengyu shouted happily when she saw the two of them.

"Good, good." Xie Xuan smiled as he walked in and shouted, "Yan'er, give me another bowl of rice. I'm not full yet at the Village Head's house!"

Jiang Yan rolled her eyes and said snappily, "Why are you so happy when you haven't eaten your fill? "Could it be that I've picked up a mountain of gold and silver?"

"Hehe, even a mountain of gold and silver can't compare to our family's precious son. Yan'er, you didn't know that Xia had really given me a lot of face today."

"Oh?" Jiang Yan looked at Xie Xuan, whose eyes were shining, and Jiang Xia, who looked frustrated. She couldn't help but frown, "What face do you have? What have you all gotten into? " Mengyu also pulled Jiang Xia and sat down beside the table. Her big eyes blinked as she stared at Xie Xuan.

"Yan'er, look at what you're saying. This is definitely not a moment of trouble." Xie Xuan smiled proudly. Then, he explained everything that happened with Jiang Xia in the Village Head's house in detail.

Jiang Yan and Mengyu's eyes opened wide after they heard what Jiang Xia said. They looked at Jiang Xia in shock. Even if Jiang Xia couldn't see them, he could imagine their expressions.

"Xia, tell Mom, who did you learn your zither arts from?" Jiang Yan was both surprised and confused.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Jiang Xia didn't want to hide it anymore. He had no choice but to tell Wu Tian about how he went to the temple every night for the past five years to learn zither arts. After all, the three of them were his loved ones and they had the right to know everything about him.

After the three of them listened for five years, they had not discovered the secret of their child. Jiang Yan and Xie Xuan looked at each other and sighed softly.

"Xia, why didn't you tell your parents before? We know that you have such a good teacher, but it's too late for us to be happy about it. " There was a hint of reproach in Jiang Yan's loving eyes.

Jiang Xia "glanced" at Xie Xuan and whispered, "Dad said that the zither master is weak, so I'm afraid that you guys will object."

"Ah!" Xie Xuan smiled apologetically as he did not expect Jiang Xia not to tell him the reason. Jiang Yan glared at him angrily and said, "What are you trying to instill in Xia? I already said that Xia is not bad as a zither master.

"Hehe," Xie Xuan touched his nose, "Xia, Master Wu Tian is very famous. It's a blessing to be able to learn the zither from him. Unfortunately, he has already left. Otherwise, your mother and I really would have thanked him."

Jiang Xia nodded slightly as he chewed on the tasteless food.

Mengyu frowned and glanced at Jiang Yan. The latter was stunned for a moment before turning her gaze to Jiang Xia, "Xia, is there something on your mind?"

Xie Xuan was also stunned and looked curiously at the other party, "Xia, you've been depressed ever since you came back? Is it because I'm feeling unwell? "

Jiang Xia shook his head hard and raised his grey eyes, "Dad, Mom, I want to walk out of the village and see the outside world."

Jiang Yan's expression changed as the chopsticks in her hand slid to the ground.
