C8 Sleepless Night

"Brother Jiang Xia, be careful." When Mengyu saw Ah Four and Little Three pull the rope out from the ground, she was already frightened out of her wits. On the ground, Zhang Daguan had already revealed a malicious smile as he had personally dug this hole with his own hands.

Seeing that the rope was about to wrap around Jiang Xia's calves, the old man in gorgeous clothes, who was watching from a hundred meters away, frowned. However, he did not intend to save Jiang Xia.

Just when Jiang Xia was about to stumble over, he suddenly leaped and stomped heavily on the grass rope. A'Si and Xiao San were caught off guard and fell to the ground.

The prepared stones were almost all finished. Zhang Daguan and the rest had no more chips to win the fight. Jiang Xia's grayish-white pupils slowly "scanned" the crowd, and his young and adorable face turned red.

"You bunch of despicable people who don't keep their promises, I'm going to beat you to death today." With that, Jiang Xia rushed towards the nearest Little San. The latter quickly got away in fright, but Jiang Xia was already so angry that he didn't even give him a chance to escape before he rushed up to give him a good beating.

"Ah, ah, help!"

Little San was actually two or three years older than Jiang Xia. No matter if it was height or strength, he was stronger than him. But what was unbelievable was that every time Jiang Xia's fist landed, Little San would scream in pain, not looking like he was faking it at all.

Everyone was panicking. Was this still Jiang Xia, who they had surrounded and beaten a month ago? He was a level one martial artist and had used all of his strength before, but not only did Jiang Xia rely on his body's strength to withstand the attack, at the same time, a wave of hidden force also surged out from his body, and finally broke Zhang Daguan's arm.

"Could he be a Level 2 Warrior?" Zhang Daguan was shocked at first, then shook his head fiercely, "Impossible, this is impossible. He must have used some other method."

In the blink of an eye, Little San was beaten black and blue by Jiang Xia. He complained incessantly. The other big kids had already thought of retreating and turned around to escape.

"All of you, stand still. If anyone dares to move, I'll break their legs today." Jiang Xia kicked Little San away and glared at the crowd. In the eyes of adults, this child was cute, but in the eyes of Zhang Daguan and company, it was terrifying beyond belief.

"Stupid blind, no no no, Jiang Xia, spare my life!" "On the account that we're in the same village." A few timid ones had already knelt down and begged for mercy.

Zhang Daguan gritted his teeth and snorted: "Stupid blind man, you injured me, my dad won't let you go."

"You still dare to mention your father, you dishonorable thing." Jiang Xia pointed at him with his little finger and said with extreme dissatisfaction, "How did we agree on that one month ago? For that agreement of yours, I lied to you for who knows how many times, and my mom almost didn't want me anymore. But you, if you can't beat me, then throw rocks. Are you even a man?"

"You." No matter how mischievous Zhang Daguan was, he was still a child after all. His face turned red and then white after hearing Jiang Xia's words. His voice also became weaker, "Then what do you want to do?"

"Hmph, as long as you keep your promise and don't bully Mengyu again, I'll let you off."

Everyone looked at each other. Zhang Daguan pursed his lips and nodded, "Ok, it's a deal."

Jiang Xia blinked, "This time you can't say anything and it doesn't count, right?"

"Definitely." Zhang Daguan had lost his temper. Even if he didn't count, so what? If so many people couldn't beat Jiang Xia, who would dare to bully them in the future?

Jiang Xia pretended to be satisfied, and pretended to be like Xie Xuan, who would usually discipline him, "Alright! It won't happen again. " With that, he walked up to the pleasantly surprised Mengyu and took her hand. "Let's go back!"

"Yes." Mengyu nodded obediently and the two of them walked in the direction they came from, hand in hand. Zhang Daguan and the rest, who were left at the same place, heaved a sigh of relief. One timid person peed his pants in fright.

In the distance, the old man in gorgeous clothes slowly let out a sigh of relief. The shock on his wrinkled face had yet to dissipate. "Good, this is too wonderful. This kid's talent is really good, it's really good."

The old man's body moved, and in the next moment, the place where he had been standing was empty.

= = =.

The two children happily returned home and did not mention this to Jiang Yan. Jiang Xia had nothing on him except some dirt he had picked from the herbs. But it had to come, and while Jiang Xia and his mother were waiting for Xie Xuan to come home for dinner, the village chief, Zhang Dawang, and his son Zhang Daguan, along with a group of neighbors, came running in to denounce them.

"Xie Xuan, tell your son to come out." Zhang Dawang Sheng shouted angrily outside of the house with a pair of tiny mouse eyes and a bulbous nose.

Jiang Yan immediately went out to check. When she saw Village Head Zhang Dawang, she asked in confusion, "Village Head, what happened? Xie Xuan has not come back from hunting. "

"Hmph, good mother, you are such a failure. Look at how your son beat up my son." Zhang Dawang pulled Zhang Daguan, who was cowering behind him, to the front and rolled up his sleeves. His blue arms were swollen like steamed buns.

"Hiss!" The surrounding villagers all sucked in a breath of cold air as they cast furious gazes at Jiang Xia, who was standing behind Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan's pretty face changed as she frowned, "Village Head, you must be mistaken!" How can our family's Xia hurt your family's Daguan? "

"Hmph, if it wasn't your Jiang Xia, then who was it?" Zhang Dawang was so angry that he opened his nose and pulled out the bruised Xiao San from the crowd behind him, "Look, this Xiao San was also done by your family's Jiang Xia. You, I was kind enough to let you stay in the village, I didn't expect you to discipline your child like this and beat my son to such a state."

Jiang Yanmei's eyes were filled with anger. She looked down at Jiang Xia and said softly, "Xia, tell Mother, was it you who did this? If that's not the case, Mother will definitely not let them slander you. "

"Mother." Jiang Xia called out softly and lowered his face.

"Xia, don't be afraid. Tell mom, were they beaten like this by you?" Jiang Yan did not believe that her son would do such a thing, nor did she have the strength to do such a thing.

"Mom, I was the one who beat them up." Jiang Xia answered in a low voice.

"Listen, listen." Zhang Dawang's eyes widened, and his drool stars flew in the air, "He admitted it already, what else do you have to say? Let's see what your child looks like." "He was born blind, and he even likes to do bad things. He's simply a scum."

The neighbors also whispered and pointed at Jiang Xia. Some of them even started to curse loudly.

"Pah!" The crisp slap made everyone shut their mouths. Half of Jiang Xia's face swelled up. Jiang Yan's body trembled and tears welled up in her eyes. What did mom usually teach you? Why fight with someone else? Do you not want to acknowledge me as your mother? Apologize to them. "

Jiang Xia's gray eyes were also filled with tears of grievance. However, his stubborn character was frozen on the spot, "I'm not wrong, I don't want to apologize."

"Apologize to them." Jiang Yan's tone was tough, but in her heart, she was actually more upset than anyone else. She was afraid that her child would become the villager who was said to be a bad person, a scum.

Jiang Xia Qiang held back his tears and said firmly, "I'm not wrong, I don't want to apologize."

Zhang Dawang and the rest all looked at him with disgust and dissatisfaction. Jiang Yan was so angry that her face turned red and her red lips bit down on a few words, "Alright, alright, you won't apologize!" If you don't apologize, then don't acknowledge me as your mother. "

"Mother." Jiang Xia called out anxiously. Jiang Yan remained unmoved as she hardened her heart and moved her face away.

"Yan'er, Xia, what's wrong?" A familiar voice came from afar, Xie Xuan rushed over with two hare in his hands.

Zhang Dawang's eyes lit up and immediately put on a troubled look as he went up to welcome her. "Aiya, Little Xuan! You finally came. Don't you know how my son Daguan and Little San have been beaten up by your family's Jiang Xia? Look at this? "

Xie Xuan's expression changed. He first looked at the frightened Xiao San and Zhang Daguan, then walked up to Jiang Yan and her son, asking in a deep voice, "Xia, did you do this?"

"Yes, Father." Jiang Xia's voice was so soft that it sounded like a mosquito. He had already angered his mother and didn't dare to anger Xie Xuan anymore.

The light in Xie Xuan's eyes faded, and then he pretended to be angry: "This is outrageous, how can you use such a heavy hand? Hurry up and apologize. "

"Father." Jiang Xia's face tightened as he struggled internally. In the end, he answered in a low voice, "I'm not wrong. Don't apologize."

The awkwardness on Zhang Dawang's face turned into anger, "Little Xuan! "This, this, this, look. I was kind enough to let you all stay here, but your son injured my son for no reason. What should I do?"

The villagers scolded in unison, as if they had rehearsed it beforehand. Even Xie Xuan couldn't help but frown.

"It's none of Brother Jiang Xia's business." "Aunt Jiang Yan, Uncle Xie Xuan, they were the ones who bullied Brother Jiang Xia first. A month ago, they were the ones who hurt Brother Jiang Xia, and they said that if they couldn't beat him today, they'd throw rocks and tie a rope. It was all their fault, so Brother Jiang Xia hit them."

Jiang Yan's delicate body shook violently as she turned around to look at the little girl's tear-stained face. Even though Mengyu had said those words without thinking, all of the adults present were able to tie things up.

"Aunt Jiang Yan, don't hit Brother Jiang Xia. No, it's none of his business." Mengyu choked with sobs. Her small face was crying in a way that would make anyone's heart ache.

Zhang Dawang's face immediately turned dark. He already knew about the inside story. With the Village Head's status, he was not afraid of the Wu and Steel family. Now that all his neighbors were here, he had nothing to say after a little girl exposed him.

Xie Xuan sighed deeply, then walked in front of Zhang Dawang with a smile and said, "Village Head, it's normal for this kid to cause trouble here. Xie Xuan sighed deeply, then walked in front of Zhang Dawang with a smile and said," Village Head, it's normal for this kid to cause trouble here.

"Ah, how can you be so embarrassed?" Zhang Dawang's small eyes narrowed into a slit, then he retracted his outstretched hand.

"Take it!" Take it! Village Chief, since the child is disobedient, I will teach him well in the future. Xie Xuan directly stuffed the two rabbits into each other's hands.

Zhang Dawang sighed and pretended to be honest. "Fine, since you have also apologized on behalf of your son, then we are not unreasonable people, so let's just forget about this matter."

Xie Xuan immediately smiled and said, "Hur Hur, thank you village chief."

"Un, Little Xuan!" Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, then we shall take our leave first. " Zhang Dawang's brows twitched as he grabbed two rabbits. He was elated at the thought of his son getting injured and threw it to the back of his mind.

"Village Head, take care, take care." Xie Xuan nodded with a smile. The neighbors in the village also dispersed. In the blink of an eye, only Jiang Xia, Mengyu, and the other two remained.

"Brother Jiang Xia, do you hurt?" Mengyu blinked her big, moist eyes, and her small, jade-like hand lightly touched Jiang Xia's swollen face.

"Hiss!" Jiang Xia frowned and quickly turned his head away. Mengyu was so frightened that she hurriedly retracted her hand. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Jiang Xia smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, I'm not in pain."

When Xie Xuan saw this, he could not help but scold his wife, "Yan'er, your actions are too harsh. Is Xia still a child?"

"Father, it has nothing to do with mother." Before Jiang Yan could say anything, Jiang Xia took the lead and said, "Mom, Dad, I was in the wrong. I shouldn't have fought with them. Mom, I beg you, please don't be angry."

Jiang Yan could no longer hold it in. Tears that were like soybeans dripped down as she hugged Jiang Xia, "I'm sorry, it's mother's fault. Mother's fault."

Xie Xuan looked at his wife and children. A trace of helplessness rose in his heart. Even in this remote place, he still couldn't let them live a peaceful life. He blamed himself, and the pressure filled this man's heart.

= = =.

In the evening, after dinner, the family sat together and chatted. Xie Xuan didn't go out to hunt this afternoon either. Perhaps it was because the matter at noon was still on the minds of the three people, so they didn't talk much for the whole afternoon.

"Xia, does your face still hurt?" Jiang Yan asked with concern.

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Jiang Xia shook his head.

Xie Xuan's eyes lit up as he asked, "Xia, how did you beat Zhang Daguan into that state?"

"I used the Mountain Splitting Fist on him. I also did not expect to break his hand. " Jiang Xia answered in a low voice.

"Oh, no reason! With your strength, you can at most tie with him. " Xie Xuan looked puzzled, then picked up Jiang Xia and pressed his broad palm against the man's neck.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"Shh!" Xie Xuan signaled him not to talk and continued to investigate the situation inside Jiang Xia's body. After a few breaths of time, Xie Xuan's face was brimming with joy, "Hahahaha, Xia, your body has produced martial arts, no wonder, no wonder you were able to win against them, it was all due to the hidden strength of the Mountain Splitting Fist."

Jiang Xia was confused by her words, then he also became happy, "Are you saying that I'm now a Level 2 Warrior?"

"That's right, that's right. Haha, he's just a Level 2 Warrior." Xie Xuan was very excited, while Jiang Yan's pretty face became even gloomier. She hadn't said a word since just now. Xie Xuan finally felt his wife's strangeness and hurriedly stopped laughing, "Heh, heh, Yan'er, listen to me, I also don't want to see Xia being bullied!"

Jiang Yan sighed. "Forget it, I already knew about you guys. Xia, you should go back to your room and rest first!" I still have something to say to your dad. "

"Oh, got it." Jiang Xia nodded and went back to his room alone.

The atmosphere became a bit weird. Xie Xuan smiled obsequiously, "Yan, Yan'er, you should be happy that Xia has become a Level 2 Warrior."

"I don't want to talk about it tonight. I'm tired too." Jiang Yan's tone was rather calm. She didn't even bat an eyelid as she stood up and walked towards the bedside.

"Yan'er, me."

"Don't come over, sleep on the floor tonight."

"Ah!"

= = =.

It was already late at night. Jiang Xia was tossing and turning in his small room, unable to fall asleep no matter what. The scenes of the day lingered in his mind. In order to please the village chief, Xie Xuan gave his hard-earned prey to someone else. Although he did it for his own child, Jiang Xia had always felt bitter inside.

"Is this the result of me not having enough strength?" Jiang Xia muttered. His gray eyes blinked in the dark night, but he couldn't see anything, "Why am I blind? "Why can't I see it?"

Jiang Xia felt a little inferior in his heart and flipped a few more times. He didn't feel sleepy at all, so he put on his clothes and decided to go for a walk. He carefully touched the door and opened it, leaving his sleeping parents undisturbed.

The gentle night breeze blew past. The depression in Jiang Xia's heart lessened a little. The bright moon and the stars in the sky became darkness in the child's eyes. It was an omnipresent darkness.

"Hello, little one!" An elderly and calm voice entered Jiang Xia's ears.

"Who?"
