I know that there are many strange people in the world, and after I became a stranger, I have met more such people.

It's not unbelievable, it's not fabricated out of thin air, the old man sitting in front of me is like a strange person, a low-key supernatural person.

I never thought he would be an alien, just as I didn't think that a stall owner could be the owner of a villa.

The old man smiled kindly, but when I knew that his strange ability was "mind reading", I couldn't help but be shocked.

As the name suggests, "mind reading" can be said to be a special type of abnormal ability to read the unknown thoughts in people's hearts and debunk any lies that go against their hearts, but people with this kind of abnormal ability are painful!

It's hard for me to imagine what the old man has been through, he can read people's minds, and on that basis, I guess he won't have friends.

Because everyone has privacy, even if they are good friends, they also want to keep their friends secret in some aspects, and the emergence of "mind reading" has broken this rule, so friends are very luxurious for the old man.

I'm too lazy to complain about the old man who faces "mind reading", and Lin Ziye is still thinking about the idea of eating candy paintings.

Because the point is not here, the old man who knows how to read minds, but he will know a lot of things!

After calming down for a while, I calmly said to the old man: "Grandpa, it seems that you really have the ability to read minds, so naturally you will know our identity!"

The old man laughed loudly and said, "I thought I was already an alternative in the crowd, until I met you today......" The old man paused, "But don't worry, I won't tell you, especially this little girl, about anyone else, and in the same way, I know how to read minds, and you must help me keep it a secret!"

I frowned, "So, old man, didn't you tell anyone else that you knew how to read minds?"

The old man nodded, stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, "For so many years, I have taken great pains to keep this secret, but in the end, my wife found out, she didn't say it explicitly, but I can peek into her heart, she loves me so much......"

After that, the old man was saddened, presumably his wife was no longer alive......

The previous conjectures are self-defeating at this moment, since the old man has kept the secret, it means that he still has many friends.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, and I broke the silence and said, "Grandpa can completely bury your secret in his heart, why do you want to tell us?"

The old man sighed and said, "First, you are all people with special abilities, just like me, and you are very kind, so a fair exchange, I can entrust you with the secret." Second, you have to do one thing for me, and of course, make some compensation for the mistakes you made!"

"Oh......" I muttered, the old man was still thinking about the jar of syrup, okay, who told us to take care of the loss, don't say one thing, ten things are okay!

"You're wrong, I didn't care about that jar of syrup, I mean, you shouldn't have poured that boy with syrup!"

What, I shouldn't splash him? Why don't you splash such an offensive guy who doesn't respect the old and love the young?

"Ahem, I know what you think, then let me tell you the truth of the matter!" the old man closed his eyes and said.

......

It turned out that when the young man went to find the old man's stubble, the old man had already spied into his heart, and this young man did not embarrass the old man for no reason, the purpose was to extort some money, and the young man had already inquired about the identity of the old man before, so if it was just a little money, the old man could still afford it, but he never thought of killing me halfway, hindering his plan, and making him almost unwilling before leaving.

Just when I wondered whether the phenomenon of young people's blackmail should not be stopped, the old man said something that I regretted it for.

"He went to blackmail my ...... for the sake of his seriously ill mother"

Beating my chest is no longer enough to express my current mood, I can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, I am impulsive, the only impulse in my life on the street, but the result is a big disappointment.

"Excuse me...... I do not know...... I thought ...... ashamed, I gradually lowered my head.

"Oh, I can't blame you for this, I saw in his heart his seriously ill mother, who made this decision because he couldn't afford to buy medicine, young man, it's nothing. ”

The old man leaned down, pulled out a paper bag from the drawer of the desk next to him, and walked slowly towards us.

"It's a little bit of money, you can give it to that young man for me, and I won't show my head!"

The old man sighed lightly and sat down on the sofa again.

I took the paper bag and touched it with my hands, from the weight and thickness of the paper bag, there were at least more than 20,000 yuan, and the kindness of the old man moved me in an instant.

"Is this a small amount, so I'm not afraid I'll take it privately?" I said teasingly.

"Hehe, such a little bit of money, it doesn't matter if you swallow it privately, but I know what you think in your heart, so I can trust it to you!" The old man coughed twice and said to the housekeeper standing at the door, "Xiao Zheng, make tea for the guests!"

The housekeeper named Xiao Zheng nodded, turned around and walked into the kitchen.

Hey, don't say it, it's really ...... to communicate with this old man who knows how to read minds. Nothing interesting.

You don't need to speak, but if the old man blindly answers according to the inner thoughts of the person he is spying on, he can also talk casually.

Ordinary people may still be a little resistant to mind reading, but I'm different, except that Lin Ziye is a monster is my secret, there is nothing worth hiding, so I accept it calmly.

"It's getting late, why don't you stay with me for one night, I don't lack a room here, and I'll do something for me tomorrow?"

"No......" I was about to refuse, but was suddenly interrupted by Lin Ziye.

"Okay, okay, I still want to learn how to do sugar painting from my grandfather!"

Lin Ziye said to me resentfully.

I'll go, how obsessed are you with sugar painting? It's not that you want to make it, you want to eat it, isn't it just sugar painting? What is there to eat about such sweet and greasy things? Seeing that sugar painting is more important in your heart than cola, hey!

At this time, the old man glared at me, snorted a breath from his nose, and said sternly, "It's your business that you don't like sugar painting, Lin Yatou likes it, I'm willing to teach her!"

Yes, the thoughts in my heart have been spied out again, indeed, in front of the old man, it is best not to have any strange thoughts, and be cautious!

The old man smiled proudly, it seemed that my thoughts just now were also looked at by him, "Come, come to my private workshop, let you see how the syrup is made!"

At this time, Xiao Zheng held the tray and brought three cups of tea to the living room, "Master, guests, please use tea." ”

"Let's put it there first, and drink it as herbal tea when it cools for a while!" the old man was heroic.

It seems that the old man is in a good mood, but this move made Xiao Zheng cry and laugh, so he had to reluctantly bring the tea to the kitchen again, and said respectfully, "If the old man wants to drink tea at any time, tell me that I will make it again, and it is better to drink this tea hot." ”

"Okay, you go down. The old man waved his hand.

Don't have this kind of scene that can only appear in TV dramas, okay? How can we be embarrassed by the poor people? Oops, I can't think like this, but my mind can't help but think like this, I can't help it, I ask the old man for forgiveness!

He didn't look at me, but I knew he must have read my heart, huh......

"Don't get tangled, come with me!" the old man finally couldn't bear the silence and interrupted my thoughts.

Sure enough!

"No matter what you think, it doesn't matter, I've seen so many people's thoughts over the years, and it's no wonder......"

After the old man finished speaking, he walked forward and walked into a slender corridor.

Oh, in this way, I don't have to dwell on it at all, why should I bother, I can't solve it if I get tangled......

"Let's go......" I was about to urge Lin Ziye, but Lin Ziye had already followed excitedly.

Is sugar painting really that tempting?

At the end of the slender corridor, there was a closed door, the old man took out the thing that was similar to the remote control, pressed the button a few times to the place where the door was locked, and when the door lock made a "beep" sound, the old man put the "remote control" in his pocket, put his right hand on the doorknob, rotated, and the door came.

All I can say is, it's so advanced......

Behind the door is a simple operation room, on which are placed a lot of powders with different names, presumably the materials for sugar painting, and the tallest transparent jar next to it, which contains about half a jar of sticky.

"Is this the syrup, old man?" Lin Ziye ran over, touched the cold jar with sticky substance, and said to the old man.

"Oh, it's not the finished syrup, it's just a rough syrup, and these materials are needed to make the finished syrup. ”

The old man pointed to these kinds of powders and introduced them to Lin Ziye, "Except for some of these materials that I made myself, the others are all precious ingredients and powders that I asked my son to buy abroad, I add different powders to the syrup according to a certain proportion, and then boil them on the fire for a certain amount of time to make different syrups, and finally make them into sugar paintings and sell them to passers-by." ”

Wow, this move of the old man is not ungreat, it is not so much that he is selling sugar paintings, but that he is experiencing the fun of making sugar paintings, and his behavior of buying at a high price and selling at a low price has made me redefine the term "rich" for a while.

The rich are not unkind to the rich!
