Chapter 2 Hearing Begins to Appear
At the foot of the mountains, a village of about 100 households is located, surrounded by cooking smoke, and from time to time there are a few sounds of children playing.
A carriage slowly drove into the entrance of the village, and both the old man and the child stopped what they were doing and watched intently. A moment later, the carriage stopped in front of a simple house closest to the foot of the mountain, and the first to jump down was a handsome man of a young grade, looking at the house in front of him, his eyes flashing with a hint of relief.
"Yan'er, this is Bailiu Village, come down quickly!" the man turned around and gently opened the curtain of the car, and there was a beautiful young woman holding a baby in her hand.
"Shhhhh β
Xie Xuan suddenly smiled, and carefully helped Jiang Yan out of the carriage, the boat and car along the way were tiring, and Jiang Yan was not long after giving birth, so her face looked pale.
"Yan'er, you see, this is where my mother used to live, and after she married my father, she often brought me here to live here for a while. Xie Xuan said as he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Yan Mei's eyes flashed and she felt distressed, and her delicate body was slightly pressed against Xie Xuan, "Okay, from now on, our family of three will live quietly here, and we don't have to pay attention to the mundane things outside." β
"Hmm!" Xie Xuan nodded, walked to the door and pushed the door open, creak, a trace of dust accompanied by a strong dusty aura rushed towards him, and roughly glanced at the environment inside, the simple furniture was covered with dust, Xie Xuan couldn't help frowning, and then turned around and smiled: "Yan'er, it seems that I still have to clean up well! Or you take Xia Er to sit in the carriage." β
"No need. Jiang Yan shook his head, "I've been sitting in the carriage for more than ten days, and I don't feel comfortable inside." β
Xie Xuan's face welled up with a little apology, and before he could speak, an old figure staggered out from the next room, "Is Xiao Xuan back?"
"Grandma Li?" Xie Xuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped up to hold the old man's withered hands, "Grandma Li, are you in good health?"
"Good, good. The old man also looked quite excited, showing a bright smile, and then the old eyes looked around expectantly, "What about your mother? Why didn't she come?"
"Mother?" Xie Xuan's body was shocked, his nose couldn't help but be sore, and he forcibly held back the pain in his heart and said: "Grandma Li, mother, she and her father have traveled all over the world, so she didn't come." β
"Oh, oh, it's so good, I've seen her blessed since I was a child, hehe. The old man smiled with satisfaction.
Xie Xuan's heart hurt for a while, in fact, when his mother got the news of his father's death in battle, she also passed away, "By the way, Grandma Li, this is my wife and my child." Xie Xuan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes when he turned around, "Yan'er, come and see Grandma Li." β
"Yes, Yan'er has seen Grandma Li. Jiang Yan smiled politely. The old man's eyes lit up, and the wrinkled old face turned slightly red, "Okay, this girl is even more delicate than your mother, Xiao Xuan! β
Jiang Yan Qiao's face was slightly red, "Grandma Li said with a smile. β
"Huh. The old man continued to turn his gaze to the sleeping baby in Jiang Yan's arms, "Yo, this little guy is so cute, it seems that he has just been born, right?"
"Hmm!" Jiang Yan only nodded in agreement, and didn't say anything more.
"Tut-tut, this little guy is as big as my dream rain. β
"Mengyu?" But Xie Xuan was taken aback, "Grandma Li, where do you still have a child as old as our Xia Er?"
Jiang Yan was also stunned by Xie Xuan's appearance, and Grandma Li smiled mysteriously, "Hehe, Xiao Xuan, don't look at grandma, I have no children and no daughters, God has mercy on my old man, just yesterday I picked up a newborn baby girl at the door of my house." β
Xie Xuan and the others secretly smacked their tongues, whose parents were so ruthless that they threw away their newborn children, and they gave it to an elderly man.
Grandma Li didn't notice the strange expressions of the two, and muttered happily, "It was still drizzling outside yesterday, and I felt like I was in a dream, so I named the baby girl Mengyu, thinking that I have been lonely for decades, and finally have a daughter in my old age, God really pities me." β
Xie Xuan and his wife felt a burst of grief in their hearts when they heard this, and at this time, there was a sound of the baby girl crying "wow" from Grandma Li's house, and Grandma Li opened her old eyes and hurriedly walked inside.
"Xiao Xuan, Mengyu woke up, I'll come back to see you later. After speaking, he turned around and entered the hut, and Xie Xuan and his wife were still worried that the old man would accidentally fall.
"Yan'er, why don't you go to Grandma Li's house for a meeting first! After I finish cleaning up, I'm going to visit the village chief and tell him that we will settle here in the future." β
"Hmm!" Jiang Yan nodded, and carefully carried Jiang Xia into Grandma Li's house, "Grandma Li, I'll come to sit with you." β
"Okay, okay, hehe. Grandma Li agreed with a smile while teasing the baby girl who was crying on the bed.
It's also strange to say, that is, when Yan Yi entered, the baby girl on the bed stopped crying, and her delicate little hands kept waving, but she was quite happy.
"Huh?" Grandma Li was puzzled, then her old eyes narrowed, and she smiled lovingly: "My little Mengyu still knows that there is a little guy like her coming!"
Jiang Yan was also amused by the old man's words, and before he could speak, he heard Grandma Li let out a frightened cry, "Ouch, ouch, scared me to death, you, your child, your child?"
Jiang Yan was shocked, and when he looked down, he saw that Jiang Xia had woken up at some point, but on his delicate little face was a pair of gray-white pupils.
"Grandma Li, don't be afraid, Xia'er. β
"Don't come here, don't come here, scare me to death, scare me to death. The old man's whole body trembled, and his eyes were full of fear.
Jiang Yan's nose was sour, and his eyes were full of tears, "Grandma Li, my Xia'er is just a normal child. β
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the room, "Wow, wow, wow!" The little baby girl on Grandma Li's bed cried again.
After running Yan out, the tears couldn't help falling anymore, and the little mouth of Jiang Xia in his arms opened slightly, revealing his little pink tongue, which looked very cute, but it was such a little baby that everyone liked, but it had a pair of gray-white pupils that everyone was afraid of.
In the evening, the dusty room was cleaned up by Xie Xuan, even the ground was barely a trace of dust, the smell of erosion could no longer be smelled, and the simple and warm cottage was the only thing that the man could do.
Jiang Yan sat quietly on the bed with the baby in her arms, and Grandma Li's frightened appearance lingered in her mind during the day, is her child really a monster? No, no mother would doubt her child, but the eyes of the world, the spurning of the world, this young mother is under tremendous pressure.
The "creak" wooden door was pushed open, and Xie Xuan came back from the village chief's house, still holding a bowl of millet porridge in his hand.
"Yan'er, why is your face so ugly?"
Jiang Yan gently put the child on the side of the bed, threw herself directly into Xie Xuan's arms and cried loudly, "Why? Why do they want to treat us like this? My child is not what they imagined, why?"
Xie Xuan put the millet porridge in his hand on the table next to him, and hugged his wife tightly into his arms with both hands, "Yan'er, I'm sorry, it's useless, and even your mother and son can't take care of it." β
Jiang Yan in his arms cried even louder, and the grievances in his heart turned into tears that soaked the clothes on Xie Xuan's chest.
"Yan'er. Xie Xuan gently pushed the other party away, looking at his wife's beautiful face with gentle eyes, "From today on, our family is an ordinary person, I go out to hunt every day to feed your mother, the outside world has nothing to do with us, okay?"
Jiang Yan was touched by Xie Xuan's sincere gaze, and then nodded vigorously.
"Hehe, come, are you hungry, drink this bowl of porridge, this is what Grandma Li gave me just now, she specially waited for me to come back at the door!" Xie Xuan lovingly stroked the other party's scattered hair.
"Grandma Li gave it?" Jiang Yan was slightly stunned.
"yes! She told me, let me say sorry to you. β
Jiang Yan was even more surprised, and then nodded slightly, "Okay!"
Xie Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the young and beautiful wife and the sleeping child in bed in front of him, a sense of man's responsibility filled his whole body.
=====γ
Ten years later, time passed, shuttle non-stop, and the short time passed quietly at the fingertips, and in a blink of an eye, Jiang Xia was already ten years old. Xie Xuan's family of three has been living in Bailiu Town for ten years.
In the past ten years, Jiang Yan's youth has been replaced by the duty of a mother, there is no rich life, there is no prosperous city, ten years are like a word, the ruthless years not only did not polish off the beauty of that woman, but added a trace of dignified and virtuous.
Xie Xuan naturally regarded himself as an ordinary hunter in the village, with the strength of a fourth-level warrior, those jackals, tigers and leopards and other animals could kill him, plus Xie Xuan had a good heart, and every time he hit the prey, he would give a little to the neighbors in the village, so Xie Xuan was still relatively respected in the village.
But if others don't say it, they will naturally regret it in their hearts, and the reason is naturally that Xie Xuan's child is going to be summer.
"Mother, why can't I see your appearance, it's pitch black in front of me?" A cute-looking child sat on the edge of the bed with a puzzled expression, but his eyes were gray and white different from ordinary people.
Jiang Yan Jiao, who was making a dress for Xie Xuan, was shocked, it was not the first time Jiang Xia had asked this question, but every time it would make Jiang Yan's heart sour.
"Ahh
Jiang Xia hurriedly ran forward, "Mother, are you injured?"
"Xia'er, slow down, silly boy, there are a lot of things in the house, don't fall. Jiang Yan hurriedly greeted him and hugged Xia in his arms, "Xia'er, my father and mother do everything we have to love you, just to want you to have a happy childhood like other children, my mother doesn't want you to become withdrawn because you can't see with your eyes, do you understand?"
Jiang Xia nodded as if he didn't understand, "Mother, I know, I'm just like everyone else, right?"
"Yes, yes. Tears flashed in Yan Xiu's eyebrows, "Xia'er, my mother has hardly left this house a hundred meters away over the years, how can the people in the village secretly say that our family is behind the scenes, and my mother doesn't care, I just hope that you are happy, you will not feel inferior, and your mother will be satisfied, so what those people outside say, you must not take it to heart, just continue to be so happy and happy." β
"Oh, mother, do you think I will be able to see things in the future?"
"Yes, surely. Jiang Yan replied without hesitation, "My Xia Er will definitely be able to see it." β
disturbed Xia's head, revealing a childlike bright smile, "Mother, dad is back." β
"Huh?" Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the sky outside, and shook his smile: "When will your child be happy with his mother?"
"No, Dad is really back, and he's knocking on Grandma Li's door right now. Jiang Xia said with an affirmative face.
Jiang Yan frowned slightly, listened attentively, the surroundings were extremely quiet, and he could even hear his own heartbeat, "Xia'er, don't lie." β
Jiang Xia was a little aggrieved, and then said, "Really, mother, I didn't lie, it was Mengyu who opened the door to my father, and my father said that today's harvest was not small, and he hit two hares after a while, and took one to Mengyu, and now he is walking towards our house." β
"Xia'er, didn't my mother tell you that children can't lie, aren't you?"
"Squeak!"
Before Jiang Yan finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and Xie Xuan stood at the door with a smile on his face, "Yan'er, Xia'er, I'll bring you back a hare." β
Jiang Yan's face changed, and his eyes were incredulous, "You, you,?"
"Iβwhat's wrong with me?" Xie Xuan said suspiciously.
"Did you just send a hare to Grandma Li, and it was Mengyu who opened the door?"
A trace of shock welled up in Xie Xuan's eyes, "How do you know?"
