C3 Bullied

A trace of shock spread across Xie Xuan's face. He was dozens of meters away from Grandma Lee's home, and the door was closed. Even he couldn't hear clearly, not to mention Jiang Yan.

However, not only did Xie Xuan know exactly what he did, he even knew who opened the door. This made Xie Xuan even more puzzled.

"Mother, I told you that I didn't lie!" Jiang Xia's small face showed a bit of grievance and dissatisfaction. His angry look made people want to pinch his face a couple of times.

Xie Xuan was scared out of his wits and looked at Jiang Xia in disbelief, "Xia, you, you're the one that just told mom that I'm back?"

"En!" Jiang Xia nodded, then covered his mouth and laughed: "Dad, I still heard your little tune as you walked! This is so unpleasant to hear. "

"Puchi!" Jiang Yan giggled and hugged Jiang Xia even more tightly, "Xia, your dad is really good at hunting, so let's just let it go."

"Wait, wait." Xie Xuan put down the rabbit in his hand and rushed to the mother and son, "Xia, tell dad, what was the song I was humming before?"

Jiang Yan was shocked. "You, you really?" Xie Xuan didn't pay attention to Jiang Yan as he continued to stare into Jiang Xia's greyish white eyes.

Jiang Xia troubled his head, his grey eyes moved slightly. Then, he clapped his hands and said, "I remember now. You're humming the song Mom often sings. I don't know what the name is."

Xie Xuan was dumbstruck. After a while, he finally came back to his senses as wild joy gushed out of his eyes. "Hahahaha, Xia, your hearing is really too good. You are more than several times stronger than an ordinary person."

"What? "Father." With a puzzled expression, Jiang Xia gently pulled away from Jiang Yan's embrace. "I'm going to play with Mengyu."

With that, he trotted all the way to the door and disappeared from the room. Jiang Yan and Xie Xuan were almost scared to death, but luckily, Wu Tie was familiar with the route and didn't run into any obstacles in the room.

After being overjoyed, Xie Xuan showed a regretful look, "Unfortunately, Xia's hearing is so amazing, but he's actually … sigh!"

Jiang Yan's eyes lit up with worry. "Do you think it's possible for Xia to become a zither player?"

"Zither master?" Xie Xuan was stunned at first, but then firmly shook his head, "Although a zither master is noble, he is still useless. No matter how good his zither playing is, it can't match up to a warrior's swift blade."

Jiang Yan looked displeased as she said bitterly, "Xia can't see anything. You can't possibly let him become a fighter, right?"

"Yan'er."

"Don't say anymore, I feel that my life right now is very good. I would rather just look at Xia like this for the rest of my life."

Xie Xuan's expression changed slightly and he sighed helplessly.

"Mengyu." Jiang Xia walked up to Grandma Lee's house and knocked on the door. Jiang Xia had walked this road between the two families thousands of times and he was quite familiar with it. There were almost no problems.

"Little Xia, wait a minute!" Grandma Lee's old voice came from inside and the door opened. Compared to ten years ago, the old man's body was hunched over, and his muddy old eyes blurred.

"Grandma Lee, where's Mengyu?" Jiang Xia's grey eyes lost their luster.

Grandma Lee revealed a trace of affection on her face. Although she was frightened of Jiang Xia's eyes back then, after watching him grow up for the past ten years, she had long accepted this well-behaved and sensible child. "Mengyu went out to pick the herbs for me."

Jiang Xia was stunned, "She went out again?"

"Sigh, it's all because of these old bones of mine that dragged her down. She's old and useless, and now she even has to implicate that child Mengyu to pick the medicine for me. It's really difficult for her." Grandma Lee sighed and shook her head.

"Grandma, I'm going to find Mengyu. You should go inside and have a good rest!" Even though Jiang Xia couldn't see it, he could guess the expression on the other party's face. He immediately turned around and ran towards the direction of the village entrance.

Grandma Lee lifted her eyelids and shouted, "Little Xia, slow down!"

"Got it." In the blink of an eye, Jiang Xia was already more than ten meters away. Since she had nothing to do, Mengyu would often bring Jiang Xia out to play and pick herbs for Grandma Lee, and she had a general idea of the roads in the village. Xie Xuan had also specially cleaned some of the obstacles in the path before, and there was a thin layer of sand on the road.

After walking for about half an hour, a few faint noises could be heard by Jiang Xia, "Mengyu?" Following the source of the voice, he was able to confirm that Mengyu was not far away.

Under a lush tree, there was a little girl wearing a blue dress and carrying a bamboo basket behind her back. She was currently staring at five to six twelve year olds angrily.

The little girl's lips were red and toothed, and her big eyes were extremely clear. Her fair skin didn't look like a child that grew up in a remote village at all. At this moment, she was lightly biting her red lips, as if she was angry.

The leader of the five to six kids laughed disdainfully, "Mengyu, why are you protecting the blind man like this? As long as you follow me in the future, we will definitely protect you well and let you eat well with your grandmother while staying well. "

"Zhang Daguan, I forbid you to call Brother Jiang Xia blind." Tears welled up in Mengyu's eyes.

"Heh." The older child Zhang Daguan sneered, patted his chest and said, "Mengyu, your brother Daguan is the son of the village chief, and is countless times stronger than that blind man. Don't protect him, my dad said that once you turn sixteen, he will betroth you to me as my wife. Hahahaha."

The children behind her also burst out into laughter. Mengyu was so angry that her whole body trembled. She squatted down and picked up a rock, throwing it towards Zhang Daguan and the others. "You're not allowed to call Brother Jiang Xia blind."

A teenage girl doesn't have much strength to begin with, so before the rock even hit the target, it fell onto the ground, while Zhang Daguan got angry, "Mengyu, don't refuse a toast. Brothers, take her basket away, let's see how she collects herbs for her granny every day."

With that, the few older children behind her rushed towards the frail Mengyu. Don't come near me, don't come near me. " Mengyu kept backing away, but the other party was already in front of her. She scrambled up to grab Mengyu's bamboo basket.

"Get out of my way, all of you!" An angry figure dashed in front of Mengyu and pushed them away.

Everyone was stunned. Mengyu's eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "Brother Jiang Xia!"

"Hmph," Zhang Daguan walked to the front and mocked in disdain, "Who do I think it is? So it's you, little blind man, hahahaha. "

"What are you talking about? My mother said that I am not blind. " Jiang Xia protected Mengyu behind him, gray eyes lifeless "look" directly in front of Zhang Daguan.

"Heh heh, not blind? Can you see me? "Hahahaha." Zhang Daguan didn't put Jiang Xia in his eyes at all, while the others behind him also laughed along with him.

Jiang Xia's small face turned red with anger, "Zhang Daguan, I said that I am not blind, you are blind."

"Hmph, the stinking blind man dares to scold me." Zhang Daguan waved his fist and said loudly, "Brothers, teach him a lesson!"

"Yes." Everyone agreed in unison. In this village, Zhang Daguan's father was the village chief. Naturally, he was also the village's son king. The few of them also listened to him and rushed towards Jiang Xia with bared fangs and brandished claws.

"Brother Jiang Xia, let's run." Lili quickly grabbed Jiang Xia's arm and tried to escape.

However, how could the speed of these two be faster than those kids? After a few moments, they grabbed Jiang Xia's shoulders, and their fists rained down on him.

"Brother Jiang Xia." Lili was panicking and tears fell from her eyes. Seeing that she could not escape, Jiang Xia started to fight with the others as well.

"Stupid blind man, you still dare to fight back? Go hit him, heavily!" Zhang Daguan commanded from the side, and from time to time, he would jump up and kick them.

Jiang Xia's body was covered in footprints, and his face was swollen. A ten-year-old child's strength was limited, he could easily get weak after coming back a few times, let alone counterattack.

Seeing Jiang Xia was on the verge of being beaten, Mengyu was so scared that she squatted on the ground and cried. Several times she tried to stand in front of Jiang Xia, but Zhang Daguan always pushed her away. In the blink of an eye, Jiang Xia was knocked to the ground by a few people, and all he could do was hold his head and bite down hard without making a sound.

"Hmph, this stinking blind man actually doesn't cry. Brothers, continue to focus on the main topic. Beat him until he cries." The more Zhang Daguan saw that Jiang Xia was tough, the more he felt upset. If it wasn't because of Xie Xuan's relationship, he would probably beat Jiang Xia to death.

"Brother Jiang Xia." Mengyu couldn't help but step forward and hold the hand of a big kid named Ah Four. The latter pushed hard, causing Mengyu to slip and fall to the ground, scattering all the herbs in the bamboo basket.

"Bastard! How dare you bully Mengyu! I'll kill you all!" When Jiang Xia heard the sound of Mengyu falling to the ground, the anger in his heart instantly flared up. His eyes felt a stinging pain as a hint of purple flashed across his grey-white eyes. "Ahhh!"

He didn't know where Jiang Xia got the strength from, but he suddenly stood up and jumped towards the big boy called Ah Si. He raised his fist and punched towards the boy's face.

Ah Si was caught off guard. Who would have thought that Jiang Xia would make a move. He was knocked down to the ground. Jiang Xia refused to let him go and punched him in the face with both of his fists. Ah Si begged for mercy in pain.

Since they were all children, the others were shocked by the scene in front of them. Zhang Daguan was the first to react and kicked Jiang Xia in the chest. How could Jiang Xia withstand such a heavy hit? His tiny body was kicked onto the ground and he couldn't get up.

"Stupid blind man, you still dare to fight back?" Do you believe that I will beat you to death? " Zhang Daguan said fiercely.

Jiang Xia held onto the dirt on the ground with both of his hands without a shred of fear on his face, "If you have the ability, then kill me!"

"You." Zhang Daguan just wanted to scare him a little. His father had warned him repeatedly that he could find trouble with Jiang Xia, but he couldn't injure him. Since today he had already beaten Jiang Xia to such a state, he would definitely be criticized when he went back, but after thinking for a while, he continued to threaten him: "Jiang Xia, if you dare to tell your parents about today's matter, I'll beat you up every time I see you."

"Hmph, Zhang Daguan, aren't you afraid that my dad would complain to your dad?" Jiang Xia immediately exposed the other party's thoughts.

Zhang Daguan felt a little guilty. He gently rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of something, "Cough cough, Jiang Xia, I know you won't be convinced if you're beaten by so many of us. How about this! I'll give you a fair duel, as long as you can beat me with your own strength. In the future, not only will I not cause you any more trouble, I'll also not bully Mengyu. "

"Really?" Jiang Xia's heart brightened. He was still more worried about Mengyu.

"Of course it's true." Zhang Daguan was very proud, the other kids also secretly admired him for having so many devious ideas.

"No." Mengyu refused immediately and stared at Zhang Daguan angrily, "This is unfair, you have already beaten Brother Jiang Xia to such a state. Plus, you are older than him, how can Brother Jiang Xia beat you? I am not afraid of you."

Zhang Daguan laughed in disdain: "I didn't ask him to fight with me right now, how about this! I will give you one month's time. One month later, we will fight again here, what do you think? "

"Alright, it's a deal." Jiang Xia agreed without waiting for Mengyu to speak.

"Hehe, Jiang Xia, but this is an agreement between us kids, don't tell the adults, okay?" Zhang Daguan's face was full of pride.

"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it."

"That's settled then. Brothers, let's go." Zhang Daguan finally felt relieved. It seemed like he didn't need to be scolded when he went back. He greeted a few older kids and walked towards a certain direction.

The voices of the several people were heard from afar, "Hey, Daguan, do you really want to fight with him?"

"What is it? Wasn't he just a blind person? I can knock him down with one hand. " Zhang Daguan said in disdain.

"Daguan, I think I saw a different color in his eyes just now." The one who spoke was Ah Four, who had been beaten up by Jiang Xia's counterattack.

"Heh, you must be scared silly."

"Hahahaha, that's right."

Mengyu first helped Jiang Xia up, then bent down to pick up the scattered herbs on the ground. Even though they were very far away, Jiang Xia could clearly feel the conversation between them. He couldn't help but clench his fists tightly and grit his teeth, "Zhang Daguan, I will definitely beat you."
