If Jin Pingmei hadn't told me this, I would never have imagined that there were so many strange people in the world. The person he mentioned with very powerful eyes had an equally strange surname, Huai.
"Is he your friend?" I asked: "How powerful are the eyes? Why are they called earth eyes?"
When talking about this, Jin Pingmei's indifferent expression showed a little sadness. I feel that his personality is actually very inconsistent with the "career" he is currently engaged in. No matter how calm he looks, I can see
It turns out that he is a sentimental person, but he can control his emotions better than me.
"We are considered friends, but he is no longer here, so I won't say more." Jin Pingmei didn't want to continue talking about this friend named Huai, but he answered my question.
The Earth Eye he refers to is not a normative title, but a number called by people in the circle. People who can become Earth Eyes are generally gifted and are selected from the moment they are born.
Keep them in a cellar without sunlight, or seal the doors and windows of the house. There are two doors inside and outside. When someone comes in and out, no light can enter the two doors.
It is said that the eyes of newborn children are the cleanest and can see things that adults cannot see. Cultivating the eyes of the child is actually to maintain the characteristics they brought from the mother's body and not fade away.
This is very difficult. The child has not seen the sun since he was born. The child's body is full of yin energy and his body is very weak. Even if he survives, his body is destined to be congenitally deficient and he will not live long. Those responsible for raising the earth eye are all blind, because there is no earth eye.
When you are fully grown, you cannot see adults' eyes.
And the master with the only earthly eye on the path mentioned by Jin Pingmei was the blind man who raised him since he was a child.
"The old man is said to be in his 80s. He may have a weird temper and is difficult to deal with." Jin Pingmei poured me some wine and said, "I just happened to ask him something. You can follow me and let him take a look at your face."
Eye."
"Brother Mei, aren't you just fooling around?" I was a little too old, so I called out the nickname I usually used to call Jin Ping Mei behind my back: "Blind man, can you see?"
"You don't understand." Jin Pingmei shook her head: "Sometimes, people don't necessarily need eyes to see things."
According to Jin Pingmei, a blind man who can cultivate earth eyes is also not an ordinary person, otherwise he would not be able to take on such an important task. I don’t know whether it is a coincidence or necessity, but in the past few decades, a few earth eyes have appeared.
Among the blind people I raised, almost all of them were acquired blindness, and before they became blind, they all worked as Feng Shui masters or fortune tellers.
To use an old saying, such people are blind because they have been punished by God. They are capable and know many things, but they can only keep these things in their hearts. If they speak out, they will be punished. Originally, this is a nonsense statement.
But I believe it because a similar thing happened at a classmate’s house when I was a kid.
The classmate's hometown is in the countryside, and he was also born in the village. According to his grandmother, after he was born, he didn't know why, but he just kept crying and never stopped. He cried almost to death for several days. The adults in the family were helpless.
, the classmate passed out several times, and used all the tricks that should be used. At that time, there happened to be a doctor in the village who came back to visit relatives. It is said that he was the first college student in the village, and he studied medicine and had been living in the city for more than ten years.
, has become somewhat famous. He was very confident before treating my classmate, because he knew several common cases and treatments for newborns by heart.
But after the doctor looked at the child, there was nothing he could do because he didn’t know what the problem was. My classmate’s father worked in the city and was disgusted with the ghosts and ghosts in the countryside, so the doctor gave him
After looking at it, he advocated sending him to the hospital. However, my classmate’s grandma must have had some idea at that time. Knowing that something might have been hit, she used a broom to drive my classmate’s father out of the house, and then made arrangements to invite a half-immortal.
come and see.
Coincidentally, the half-immortal they invited was an old man from You Fang, who was very familiar. The old man was very calm along the way, but when he arrived at the door of the house, his expression changed before he entered the yard. He took a glance
, turned to leave without even looking at my classmate. The family members were anxious, so they stopped and asked, but the old man refused to say anything. In the end, it was my classmate’s grandmother and the whole family who knelt down in front of the old man.
, cried heartbreakingly, saying that it was just a single seedling that was only born a few days ago, and if the child was gone, the whole family would be very sad.
They begged for a long time. The old man was very embarrassed. He refused to talk even to death at first, but now he gradually became more relaxed. Finally, he looked like he was dying and told his family that if they cut down the tree in the yard, the child
It will be fine.
After the old man finished speaking, he left without being stopped. When the family moved to use the axe, it started to rain and they cut down the tree in a hurry. My classmate in the room actually stopped crying immediately and ate.
I eat milk until my belly is round, and then I go to bed. Needless to say, the family is very happy.
But on the second day, something happened. The old man who was in a hurry to leave the day before died outside the village. Only then did the family realize that the old man had not gone far at all yesterday. It rained all night.
The corpse was soaked through. The old people in the village came to help take a look at it. The corpse was in good condition with no injuries at all, but the person died just like that. It was unclear.
Afterwards, the old man's body was buried next to his ancestor's grave by my classmate's family. He was worshiped like his ancestors. Until my classmate came of age, he would be dragged to the old man's grave every year when he returned to his hometown.
kowtow.
But now that I was drunk, I didn't talk to Jin Pingmei about such gossip. But I was really interested in the old blind man.
After drinking, we went to bed. As I expected, Jin Pingmei's guys were fined one after another the next day and released. I asked around and found that Chen Yu and his gang were fine.
, paid the money and left, but I don’t know where I went. I didn’t want to see them again. Really, I was very conflicted. After only being separated for one night, I actually missed Chen Yu a little, but I was afraid of seeing her.
, very scared.
We immediately changed planes, flying to Shijiazhuang first, where we made one stop, and then to Cangzhou. As soon as we arrived at this place, I subconsciously planned to control my hands and mouth tightly. Where is Cangzhou? On the street
Those who beg for food will be in trouble if they don't get enough food. If they cause trouble here and get maimed, it's a light thing.
Jin Pingmei had probably been thinking about the old blind man for a long time. Although she had not met him in person, she knew his address clearly. Although the old blind man also lived in the city, he lived in an old courtyard with one floor.
, In this era, that kind of old courtyard is very rare. In cities built of steel and cement, old courtyards with countless high-rise buildings and sanitation are also a sight to see.
We didn’t want to attract too much attention, especially a wretched person like Zhao Yingjun who looked like a thief even if he didn’t steal. He would definitely not leave a good impression on others. So everyone dispersed, and only Jin Pingmei and I searched for it according to the address.
It was a typical old northern courtyard, with gables more than three meters high, a screen wall at the entrance, and a grape trellis on the patio. Even when sitting in the summer, there was a cool breeze.
Jin Pingmei knocked on the door, and inside was a woman who looked to be in her thirties. This woman had an average appearance, but gave people a very good impression, very gentle, like a piece of jade.
Jin Pingmei's sophistication was once again revealed. He didn't ask so and so who lives here like others did. He smiled at the woman and said directly: "Is the old man at home?"
This question stopped the woman, because she couldn't figure out whether this was an acquaintance of the old blind man. She hesitated for a moment and nodded. Jin Pingmei immediately climbed along the pole, pushed the door gently, and made a gesture to go inside.
, and said in his mouth: "It's too hot this year, how is your health, old man? I asked someone here for a recipe to relieve the heat. It's made from pure ingredients. It's a great supplement to relieve the heat..."
Maybe it’s because Jin Pingmei has a sweet mouth, or maybe it’s because we both have harmless looks. Anyway, we entered the yard smoothly, and it became easier to talk once we entered the yard. Just as Jin Pingmei was about to ask where the old blind man was, we
At the same time, I saw an old man squatting in the corner of the yard.
Judging from the old man's squinting eyes, he is the old blind man we are looking for. I suspect that he wanted to have dinner in the early years. He would not sit in such a big yard, but squatted in the corner with a walking stick, looking very comfortable.
"Old man, you are in good health." Jin Pingmei is different from the indifferent look I usually see. She is very knowledgeable and gets close to the old man.
"Who?" The old blind man obviously didn't recognize Jin Pingmei and felt that the voice was unfamiliar. At that time, he grabbed the walking stick and stood up against the wall. The woman in her thirties hurried over to help him.
"Old man, you came very abruptly." Jin Pingmei lowered her voice, observed the old man's expression, and then said tentatively: "We are friends of Qinglin."
As soon as the words came out, I felt that both the old blind man and the woman had a reaction. The old blind man was better. After all, he was older and could see some things more lightly. But the woman's reaction was very strong, and her eyes immediately became fixed.
, she looked distracted, her eyes were wandering, as if she was thinking about something. In less than a minute, she lowered her head involuntarily, but I saw that her eye circles were slightly red.
"Friends from Qinglin?" The old blind man couldn't see us, but he could clearly distinguish the positions of Jin Pingmei and me. He rolled his eyes and said to Jin Pingmei, "What are you doing here?"
