Chapter 3: The Secret Eye

Lin Ping held the cup, glanced at Xu Jie obliquely, put the cup on the coffee table next to the armrest of the recliner, and stood up: "I know it's not easy to drink your good tea." Let's go, I have to go back to the stall, I can't even eat if I don't work. ”

"You can think about the matter of the Zhang family's daughter." Xu Jie shouted towards Lin Ping's back.

"Let's talk about it." Lin Ping waved his hand with his back to Xu Jie.

Entering from the front door and exiting from the back door, only Lin Ping can ignore Xu Jie's rule, although this rule is also the rule of the industry.

Coming out of Xu Jie's house, Lin Ping's footsteps stopped in the alley, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it himself, took a deep breath, and spit out a long smoke ring.

Lin Ping didn't know who his parents were, only that he grew up in an orphanage since he was a child. The dean is an old man over 60 years old, Lin Ping has called him Grandma Li since he was a child, but since Grandma Li died of illness three years ago, the orphanage has been unattended for a period of time. At that time, their group of children knew that this orphanage had been maintained by Grandma Li with her own savings and pension, and did not raise a penny from the society. Of course, even if you want to raise donations, someone has to help spread the word, otherwise almost no one cares about the survival of an orphanage. After Grandma Li's death, Grandma Li's only daughter did not choose to take back the property of the orphanage, but inherited Grandma Li's will and continued to maintain the orphanage. However, Grandma Li's family is not wealthy, and they have always taken money from their families in order to maintain this orphanage over the years, so that the life of Grandma Li's daughter's family is also stretched. More than a dozen orphans in the orphanage often have no last meal, and their lives are very difficult.

At that time, Lin Ping was already twelve years old, so he discussed with Grandma Li's daughter, who is now Aunt Fang, to set up a small stall at the entrance of the orphanage and sell some clothes, shoes and socks to supplement the expenses of the orphanage.

At the beginning, Aunt Fang didn't agree, after all, they were all twelve or thirteen-year-old children, how could they go out to do business?

But Lin Ping and a few friends in the orphanage secretly went out to pick up garbage every day, saved thousands of dollars, and two or three people set up a small stall on the street. The three twelve or thirteen-year-old children quietly went to the street to sell every night when the little friends in the yard were asleep, and the money they earned was put on the table in Aunt Fang's room by Lin Ping when no one was around.

At first, Aunt Fang thought it was sent by her husband and didn't care, until after the two couples talked, Aunt Fang began to track down the origin of the money, and Lin Ping's stall was exposed.

Under Aunt Fang's resolute resistance, Lin Ping signed a letter of consent and promised not to go out to set up a stall again.

But how could Lin Ping be the master of peace? The next night, while Aunt Fang was asleep, she secretly carried a big bag full of clothes and socks, climbed out of the orphanage wall, and ran out to set up a stall again.

When he came back from the stall, there was a sudden thunderclap, and a strong wind blew on the street, and it was already twelve o'clock at night.

Lin Ping ran back with his bag on his back.

The clouds were thick, the rain was pouring down, I fell several times along the way, and the clothes in my bag were soaked.

When he finally ran to the door of the orphanage, there was a sudden thunder in the sky, and a bolt of lightning happened to slash Lin Ping along the wire in front of the orphanage, and what was especially strange was that this lightning only struck Lin Ping's eyes.

At that time, Lin Ping fainted, and when he woke up the next day, he was already lying on the bed in his room.

was severely reprimanded by Aunt Fang, and Aunt Fang saw that she couldn't screw Lin Ping, so she agreed to let Lin Ping go out to set up a stall, but before going out, she had to inform Aunt Fang of the location and the time when she went out and came back.

Since then, Yetian has discovered an additional magical ability: the ability to see things that others can't.

Lin Ping called this ability: Secret Eye.

In addition to people, no matter what Lin Ping saw, he could always see the experience of such a thing floating in front of him, and he could more or less see some pictures floating on this thing.

The older you see, the more you see, and the more you get older, the more you see.

For example, the dog's tail grass, Lin Ping can see the picture of ten minutes before and after it sees the first ray of sunlight every day after it sprouts. That pearl, Lin Ping could only see the picture of a woman in an imperial robe touching her ears. In that glass, Lin Ping saw the scene of the big ship hitting the iceberg and the wails of the people who fell into the water, as well as the countless corpses floating on the surface of the sea afterwards.

With such an ability, Lin Ping didn't dare to say it to others, for fear of being regarded as a neuropath.

Until one time when Lin Ping set up a stall, he saw Xu Jie shopping for Taobao and bought a Qing Dynasty vase for 20 yuan from a vendor, Lin Ping's child couldn't help but say, "This is from the official kiln in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty", and since then the two have formed an indissoluble bond and become friends who have forgotten the year.

The longer he got along with Lin Ping, the more surprised Xu Jie was at Lin Ping's eyesight, no matter what dynasty it was, no matter whether the thing was complete or not, Lin Ping only needed to look at it to clearly tell the years, who used it, and even those places that were covered by rust, Lin Ping could tell the details.

In the end, Xu Jie simply washed his hands and did not dry it, only responsible for helping Lin Ping to ship, and occasionally went out with Lin Ping to shop for Taobao, and happily raised flowers and birds at home to make kung fu tea.

Part of the money earned by Lin Ping was handed over to Aunt Fang to be earned by setting up a stall, and the other part was made by Xu Jie to Lin Ping, which was transferred to the account of the orphanage on a monthly basis, and then Xu Jie called Aunt Fang and said that it was donated by well-wishers in the society.

This matter is secretive, Xu Jie is old-fashioned, and he has never revealed any flaws, nor has it aroused Aunt Fang's suspicions.

And just like that, it's been three years now.

Under Lin Ping's secret funding, the lives of the children in the orphanage are getting better and better, Aunt Fang has taken out some funds to send school-age children to school, and the number of orphans entrusted is also increasing year by year, but it has not caused any burden to the orphanage, only knowing that the operating funds of the orphanage come from social donations.

Now that the number of children in the orphanage has reached 50, Aunt Fang is too busy to do it alone, so she has recruited two full-time aunts to help take care of the children, and occasionally volunteers come to help take care of these orphans.

For this reason, this orphanage, which was once almost disbanded, has become a model orphanage in the city, and the plaque of commendation is hung on a wall.

But there is also one thing that makes everyone strange, and that is Lin Ping.

Since the living conditions in the orphanage were better, Aunt Fang prevented Lin Ping from going out to set up a stall and wanted Lin Ping to go to school.

But under Lin Ping's persistent insistence, Aunt Fang had no choice but to let Lin Ping do what she liked, just telling him not to learn badly and to abide by the law in everything.

However, Lin Ping's growth in the past few years has also made Aunt Fang very pleased, she has not read any books, but her conversation is not inferior to those students, and she is also a young man and an old man, many times, Aunt Fang has to call Lin Ping, a fifteen-year-old child, to discuss the affairs of the orphanage.

Aunt Fang only thought that Lin Ping had honed it in the past few years, and didn't think about it.

As everyone knows, after Lin Ping got acquainted with Xu Jie, every day when he didn't go out of the stall or bought goods, he always nested in Xu Jie's house, although Xu Jie was not good at reading, but after all, he was a person in the black market of antiques, and there were countless books in his home, Lin Ping didn't like to play, so he held these books every day and read them with relish, which made Xu Jie feel very strange, it is really rare for a teenager to calm down and read, and the books he reads are mixed and have any categories.

After a long time, Xu Jie only regarded Lin Ping's ability to recognize treasures, distinguish treasures, and occasionally learn some medical skills and miscellaneous family skills from books. Unbeknownst to him, Lin Ping had a pair of magical secret eyes, and Lin Ping had never told anyone about it.

After smoking a cigarette, Lin Ping walked out of the alley, the street was still very lively, young men in twos and threes were drinking and skewering in front of the barbecue stall, and occasionally walked by a young woman dressed in a bright dress, they couldn't help but widen their eyes, and the bamboo stick was almost inserted into their noses.

Lin Ping's pace is very slow, bored wandering on the street, he doesn't want to go out of the stall today, in the past few days, he has been shopping all over the big and small markets in order to find those few things, and he is very tired.

The main reason is that Lin Ping's vision for selecting things is too picky, he can't look down on ordinary cultural relics and antiques or treasures, he likes to pick some uncommon and unusual things, and find something that looks ordinary in the eyes of ordinary people.

As far as Lin Ping is concerned, he doesn't want to expose his secret eye. If you always find some high-priced antiques to sell, it may not attract attention in the short term, and after a long time, something will definitely happen.

There is no such thing as an unventilated wall.

It is enough to earn a little money to supplement the daily use of the orphanage, and now that the orphanage is also on track, with the support of the government and society, there is no need for Lin Ping to support much money.

The weather is good tonight, the full moon is high, the breeze is cool, the moon shadow is reflected on the river, and a couple of couples are sitting on the beach below, whispering, and the gray-haired old couple supporting each other on the beach.

Such a picture is sweet, but it is sad for Lin Ping.

When he was young, he was ignorant, he only knew how to eat and sleep every day, and then he was a little older, in order to eat and wear, he was busy every day and didn't know where he came from.

Lin Ping walked along the levee of this tributary of the Yangtze River, walked to a secluded and uninhabited place, and sat on the slope of the embankment.

The surroundings are very quiet, with the Yangtze River in front, a forest path full of trees and a hexagonal pavilion in the back, a noisy street on the left hand side, a quiet path on the right hand, and a high-rise building in the distance, and layers of lights are still on.

Lin Ping stretched out, his feet propped up on the slope, his body lay back, and slowly closed his eyes, enjoying this rare tranquility.

Such a state of mind is not common at his age.
