C2 First Appearance of Hearing

At the foot of the mountain, there was a village with more than a hundred families. Smoke was floating around, and from time to time, the sounds of children playing could be heard.

A carriage slowly entered the village. No matter whether it was an old man or a child, they all stopped what they were doing and focused their eyes on it. A moment later, the carriage stopped in front of a simple house closest to the foot of the mountain. A handsome young man jumped down from the carriage and looked at the house with a relaxed expression.

"Yan'er, this is the White Willow Village, quickly come down!" The man turned around and gently pulled the curtain aside. Inside was a young woman with a beautiful infant in her arms.

"Shh!" Jiang Yan gestured for Xia to be quiet, then pointed at the baby in her arms and said softly, "Xia is asleep. Don't wake him up."

Xie Xuan instantly smiled in understanding and carefully helped Jiang Yan off the carriage. Along the way, the boat was tiring and Jiang Yan had just given birth, so she looked rather pale.

"Yan'er, look, this is where my mother used to live. After her marriage with father, she often brought me to stay here for a period of time." As Xie Xuan said this, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Jiang Yan's eyes flashed with heartache. She leaned over Xie Xuan and said, "Alright, from now on, the three of us will live a peaceful life here. We don't need to care about the mundane and mundane matters outside."

"En!" Xie Xuan nodded and walked to the door and pushed it open. Squeak squeak, dust with a dense smell of dust rushed over and roughly glanced at the environment in the room, the simple furniture was covered in dust and Xie Xuan couldn't help but frown, then turned his head and smiled: "Yan'Er, looks like I need to clean up a bit!" Why don't you take Xia to the carriage and sit there. "

"No need." Jiang Yan shook her head. "I've already been in the carriage for more than ten days. I feel uncomfortable inside."

An apologetic look appeared on Xie Xuan's face. Before he could say anything, an old figure staggered out from the next room, "Is it Little Xuan?"

"Grandma Lee?" Xie Xuan's eyes lit up and he quickly went forward to grab the old man's withered hands. "Grandma Lee, are you in good health?"

"Alright, alright." The old man was also excited, revealing a bright smile. He then looked around with an expectant look in his eyes, "Where's your mother? Why didn't she come? "

"Mother?" Xie Xuan's body shuddered and his nose turned sour. He endured the pain in his heart and said, "Grandma Lee, mother and father traveled the world together, so she didn't come."

"Oh, oh, ah, roam the four seas! "That's great, I've seen her blessed since I was young, hehe." The old man smiled in satisfaction.

Xie Xuan felt a pang of pain in his heart. In fact, when his mother heard the news of his father's death, she also left the world, "Right, Grandma Lee, this is my wife and my child." Xie Xuan wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes as he turned around, "Yan'er, come quickly and greet Grandma Lee."

"Yes, Yan'er greets Grandma Lee." Jiang Yan smiled politely. The old man's eyes lit up, his wrinkled face turned slightly red. "Alright, alright, this girl's appearance is even more exquisite than your mother's. Little Xuan!" "You sure are lucky."

Jiang Yan blushed slightly. "Grandma Lee, you must be joking."

"Hur hur." The old man continued to gaze at the sleeping infant in Jiang Yan's arms. "Yo, this little guy is so cute, he seems to have just been born, right?"

"En!" Jiang Yan could only nod in agreement, not saying anything in response.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this kid is as old as my Mengyu."

"Mengyu?" However, Xie Xuan was shocked, "Grandma Lee, where can you find a child as old as us, Xia?"

Jiang Yan was also stunned by Xie Xuan's look, while Grandma Lee smiled mysteriously, "Hehe, Little Xuan, don't look at me. I don't have any children, the heavens have pity on me. Yesterday, I picked up a newborn baby girl at my house."

Xie Xuan and the other man secretly clicked their tongues. Who had such heartless parents to throw away a newborn baby to an old man?

Grandma Lee didn't notice their strange expressions and happily murmured, "Yesterday it was drizzling outside and I felt like I was dreaming, so I named the baby Mengyu. I've been lonely for decades, and now I finally have a daughter in my later years. The heavens really pity me."

Xie Xuan and his wife felt a burst of grief in their hearts. At this moment, the sound of a baby crying came from Grandma Lee's room. Grandma Lee opened her eyes and quickly walked inside.

"Little Xuan!" "Mengyu woke up. I'll come see you guys later." With that, he turned around and entered the house. Xie Xuan and his wife were still worried that the old man would fall down.

"Yan'er, why don't you go to Grandma Lee's house for a while? "After I finish tidying up, I'm going to pay a visit to the Village Head and tell him that we will be living here from now on."

"En!" Jiang Yan nodded and carefully carried Jiang Xia into Grandma Lee's room. "Grandma Lee, let me take a seat with you."

"Alright, alright. Hur Hur." Grandma Lee replied with a smile while teasing the crying baby girl on the bed.

Strangely, when Jiang Yan had entered the room, the baby had stopped crying and was waving her tiny hands in a happy manner.

"Huh?" Grandma Lee was puzzled. She narrowed her old eyes and smiled affectionately, "This little Mengyu knows that a little guy like her is coming!"

Jiang Yan was also amused by the old man's words. Before she could even say anything, she heard Grandma Lee scream in fear, "Aiyo, aiyo, you scared me to death. You, your child, your child?"

Jiang Yan was shocked. She looked down and saw that Jiang Xia had already woken up. On his delicate face was a pair of grey and white pupils.

"Grandma Lee, don't be afraid, Xia …"

"Don't come over here, don't come over here! You scared me to death, you scared me to death!" The old man trembled, his eyes full of fear.

Jiang Yan's nose twitched as tears welled up in her eyes, "Grandma Lee, my Xia is just a normal kid."

With that, he turned and walked out of the room, "Wow, wow, wow!" The baby girl on Grandma Lee's bed cried again.

After Jiang Yan ran out, tears fell uncontrollably. Jiang Xia, who was in her embrace, opened his small mouth and stuck out his pink tongue. He looked cute, but he looked like a baby with a pair of frightened gray eyes even though he was someone he liked.

In the evening, Xie Xuan cleaned up the room that was covered in dust. There was not even a speck of dust on the floor. The smell of corruption was no longer there. The simple and warm house was the only thing that man could do.

Jiang Yan was quietly sitting on the bed with her baby in her arms. Grandma Lee's frightened look during the day was still lingering in her mind. Was her child really a monster? No, if it were any other mother, they would not have doubted their own child, but the eyes of the people, the contempt of the world, this young mother was under a lot of pressure.

"Creak!" The wooden door was pushed open and Xie Xuan came back from the village chief's house with a bowl of rice porridge in his hands.

"Yan'er, why do you have such an ugly expression?"

Jiang Yan gently put the child on the bed and threw herself into Xie Xuan's arms and cried, "Why? Why are they doing this to us? My children are not what they think they are, why? "

Xie Xuan put down the rice porridge in his hand on the table, and hugged his wife tightly, "Yan'Er, I'm sorry, I'm useless. I can't even take care of you two."

Jiang Yan, who was in his arms, cried even louder. The grievances in her heart turned into tears and soaked Xie Xuan's clothes on his chest.

"Yan'er." Xie Xuan pushed her away gently and looked at his wife's beautiful face tenderly. "From today on, we are all ordinary people. I go out to hunt and feed your mother every day. The outside world has nothing to do with us, alright?"

Jiang Yan was touched by Xie Xuan's sincere gaze and nodded her head vigorously.

"Hehe, come, you're hungry, right? "Drink this bowl of porridge, Grandma Lee gave me earlier, she's waiting for me at the door!" Xie Xuan played with his messy hair lovingly.

"Grandma Lee gave it to you?" Jiang Yan was slightly taken aback.

"That's right! She also told me to apologize. "

Jiang Yan was even more surprised. She then nodded slightly. "Alright!"

Xie Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at the beautiful young wife and the sleeping child on the bed in front of him, a sense of responsibility filled his entire body.

Ten years later, time flowed by year after year, traveling back and forth without stopping. A short period of time quietly passed by on the fingertip. In the blink of an eye, Jiang Xia was already ten years old. Xie Xuan and his family had lived in White Willow Town for ten years.

In these ten years, Jiang Yan's youth had been replaced by her role as a mother. There was no rich life, no bustling city, and over the course of ten years, the heartless years had not only failed to erase that woman's beauty, but had instead added a trace of dignity and gentleness to it.

Xie Xuan was naturally treated as a common hunter in the village, possessing the strength of a Level 4 Warrior. He could kill all the jackals, wolves, tigers, leopards, and other animals, plus Xie Xuan's heart was pretty good. Every time he hunted, he would give some to the neighbors in the village.

However, he couldn't help but feel a bit regretful. The reason was obviously because of Xie Xuan's child, Jiang Xia.

"Mom, why can't I see your face? Is everything pitch black in front of my eyes?" A cute looking child sat by the bedside with a puzzled expression. His eyes, however, had a different grayish-white color compared to ordinary people.

Jiang Yan, who was making a set of clothes for Xie Xuan, trembled. It wasn't the first time Jiang Xia had asked this question, but it always made her sad.

"Ah!" While Jiang Yan was still in a daze, her fingers were pierced by a sharp embroidery needle. Soon, a drop of dark red liquid flowed out from her white fingertips and was gently placed in her mouth.

Jiang Xia immediately ran forward, "Mom, are you hurt?"

"Xia, slow down, foolish child. There are so many things inside the house. Don't let them fall." Jiang Yan quickly went over and hugged Jiang Xia, "Xia, Mom and Dad did everything we could to love you. They just wanted you to be like other kids, having a happy childhood. Mom doesn't want you to become eccentric because you can't see, do you understand?"

Jiang Xia nodded as if he understood something, "Mom, I know, I'm just like everyone else, right?"

"Yes, yes." Jiang Yan's eyebrows were covered in tears, "Xia, Mother hasn't left our home for more than a hundred meters." Xia, for almost all these years, Mother has never left our home for more than a hundred meters. Jiang Yan's eyebrows were also covered with tears, "Xia, Mother has almost never left our home for more than a hundred years.

"Oh, Mother, do you think I'll be able to see anything in the future?" Jiang Xia had an innocent look on his face.

"Yes, definitely." Jiang Yan answered without hesitation, "My Xia will definitely see it."

Jiang Xia scratched his head and revealed a bright smile, "Mom, dad is back."

"Hmm?" Jiang Yan stared blankly for a moment before looking at the sky outside. She shook her head and smiled, "Since when did you have the heart to make fun of a mother?"

"No, Father really came back. He is knocking on Grandma Lee's door right now." Jiang Xia said with a face full of certainty.

Jiang Yan frowned and listened attentively. The surroundings were extremely quiet, to the point that one could hear their own heartbeats, "Xia, you are not allowed to lie."

It was Mengyu who opened the door for Father. Father said that he had reaped a great harvest today, so in a short while, he had already caught two wild rabbits and gave one to Mengyu. Now, he is walking towards our house.

"Xia, didn't mom tell you that you can't lie as a child? Are you …"

"Creak!"

Before Jiang Yan could finish her sentence, the door was pushed open. Xie Xuan stood outside the door with a smile on his face. "Yan'er, Xia, I'll bring you both a hare."

Jiang Yan's expression changed, disbelief evident in her eyes. "You, you …?"

"Me? What's wrong with me? " Xie Xuan said in confusion.

"Did you just send a hare to Grandma Lee? Was it Mengyu who opened the door?"

Xie Xuan was shocked, "How did you know?"
