C3 The Mysterious Hairpin

"Antiques?" Fann Binn really admired this fellow's ability to comfort himself. Just by looking at the few pieces of junk on the stall, he was able to call them Antiques? He scanned the entire stall with his eyes. Other than a few broken books, there were three strange things that he could not understand. Oh, there was one thing that he understood. It seemed to be a hairpin that a woman had inserted into her hair.

"Yeah, young man, are you interested in buying one for yourself? It was cheap and honest. These are the treasures I got from the ancient tomb. " The peddler laughed happily. His eyes were obviously shining. He wanted to sell them whenever he had the chance.

"Not interested." Fann Binn rolled his eyes. He was still interested in high-tech games like gaming consoles. What was he going to do with these things used by dead people? Besides the twenty yuan pocket money that his mother gave him in the morning, he only had his underpants left. Antiques? Can he afford it?

"Hey hey hey..." Seeing that Fann Binn was about to pull the bicycle away, the peddler immediately grabbed his arm anxiously. "Hey, young man, you are my first customer today. You can't leave empty-handed, right? Look, I don't know what the other two are either. But there's still a hairpin. I can buy it for your mother to wear. Look, it's so beautiful. "

" Beautiful? I say, uncle, don't try to trick me. The hairpin of the silver needle under that wooden flower is also called an antique? I can buy as much as I want in the 2 Yuan supermarket. Besides, I only have 20 yuan on me. If you put an antique name on this thing, how would I dare to buy it?" When Fann Binn heard the hawker say this, he was also a little tempted. He rarely bought things for his mother. Seeing how hard it was for her to work every day, should he also buy some things and go back to give them to her?

Although the money was originally given to her by her mother and the wool was still on the sheep, it still expressed her filial piety, right?

"Twenty dollars is twenty dollars. Look at you, you are also a good young man. If you lose money, you lose money. If I gather some money, I can find a better stall to set up." The peddler reluctantly nodded his head.

"Please, did you say antiques are antiques? Who knows where you got the cheap stuff? Twenty dollars? I might as well go to the Two Yuan supermarket and buy it for my mom. " Fann Binn couldn't read, but his ability to bargain and fight was top-notch. It couldn't be helped. The children of poor families would take charge early on. He took another careful look at the hairpin. Although the workmanship was very simple, but it's still pretty.

"How much did you say?" The hawker had already felt Fann Binn's profound bargaining skills.

"Two dollars."

"What? Are you trying to rob me? No, no matter what, I'll give you fifteen dollars."

"Nine dollars, if you don't want to sell it, I'll leave."

"Deal. Sell it." As soon as the hawker said that, his stomach rumbled. It seemed that this guy didn't even have money to eat.

Fann Binn took out the only two pieces of ten dollars, handed one to the hawker, and said, "Forget it. I'll give you ten dollars to buy dinner. Don't starve."

"Okay. Thank you so much." The peddler nodded happily and accepted the money.

Fann Binn took the silver hairpin and stuffed it into his pocket. Without looking back, he entered the neighborhood.

"Yo, Fann, why did you end school so early?" Just as Fann Binn parked his bicycle and went upstairs, he ran into his old neighbor, Aunt Hua.

"Uh... Auntie Hua, it's Saturday today..." Fann Binn smiled and explained that Aunt Hua was a good person. Sometimes, when the family was unable to get rid of the pot, it was always her who helped enthusiastically. As the saying went, a drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water. Fann Binn remembered in his heart every single person who was indebted to him and his mother. Therefore, his attitude was especially respectful.

"Aiya, look at my memory. Hehe, time is really fast. It's already mid-May. It's almost the middle school exams, right? You have to work hard and fight for your mother's honor. " When Auntie Hua said this, she seemed to have thought of something and said," Oh, right. If your mother works overtime tonight, come to my house for dinner. The dishes are ready today, hehe. "

"Oh, okay." Fann Binn smiled and nodded, as if he was looking forward to it. "Sister Hua, are you home too?"

"Yes. It was rare for her to have a vacation today. She went fishing with her father and came back at night. Fann, don't forget to come for dinner tonight. I'll go and buy some vegetables first." Aunt Hua waved at Fann Binn after she finished speaking and turned around to walk downstairs.

Fann Binn and Aunt Hua said goodbye and also opened the iron door of their house.

It was full of tiny cracks, and pieces of white powder fell off the wall. It was a greasy, old-fashioned round table. A few old yellow rattan chairs and a shabby leather sofa formed the scene of the living room in the house. Fann Binn closed the iron door, took off his shoes, and walked into the house that only belonged to himself and his mother.

Looking at the calendar hanging on the wall, Fann Binn suddenly fixed his eyes on the number displayed on the screen and sighed softly.

Today, three years ago, the furious quarrel between his father and mother still lingered in his ears for a long time. Three years ago, today, Fann Binn experienced the pain of his family being torn apart and the complete loss of his life. Today, three years ago, because of the dazzling contract and documents... He gradually fell into depravity.

Today, three years ago, Fann Binn's father and mother officially divorced. That damned father divorced a woman with a greater future and power for his own personal gain. He had abandoned his wife, who had come with him through hardships, and left the house with his brother. He never came back.

Originally, he could have left with his father, but Fann Binn did not do so. He could not bear the betrayal of his father towards his mother. He could not bear watching his mother suffer alone. So, he stayed behind and lived with his mother in poverty.

From that moment on, Fann Binn's values changed drastically. He went from a young man who worked hard to get his parents' appreciation to become a synonym for school fighting and being ignorant. Although he also wanted to consider his mother, the pain from that day would always be with him. No matter how good his studies were, he would only become scum like his father. If that was the case, he would rather be an ordinary worker and live with his mother for the rest of his life!

Life lost its fighting spirit, but life had to continue. Fann Binn sighed deeply, throwing away the painful memories in his mind. He threw his schoolbag onto the sofa and went back to his room to find some red flower oil and cotton in the cabinet. Then he started to treat the bruises on his arm.

A wave of pain came from his arm. The burning sensation of the red flower oil made Fann Binn suck in a breath of cold air. However, a large chunk of blood was piled up in one place. It had already become somewhat dark purple. He looked around, but he did not find any sewing needles. At this moment, he thought of the hairpin he had bought by the roadside and hesitated for a moment before taking it out. He carefully poked it with his sharp head.

After a burst of black blood came out, Fann Binn casually threw the blood-stained hairpin onto the desk and tried to use cotton to cover the wound. He said helplessly, "Damn it, I'm just walking with a beauty. There's no need to be so cruel, right?"

After a while, when the cotton became dark red, the blood finally stopped. He took a piece of gauze and finally finished bandaging it. Fann Binn took a breath and laid down on the bed, looking at the white ceiling. He suddenly remembered Faang Yixuan's beautiful face and sweet smile.

The high temperature in summer had always been a friendly partner of Duke Zhou. After lying down for less than a few minutes, the poor wounded Fann Binn gradually closed his eyes in a daze and prepared to sleepwalk.

The silver hairpin was lying quietly on the old desk, with traces of Fann Binn's fresh blood on it. The old-fashioned glass window in the room was not tightly closed. Strands of golden sunlight shone through. It shone directly on the hairpin.

Suddenly! An extremely hidden vibration occurred in the quiet room. And the source of this vibration... It was the silver hairpin that was lying on the desk! Then, the sunlight... Blood and the metal of the silver hairpin mixed together, emitting a dazzling silver and gold color with a dark red light!

If Fann Binn hadn't fallen asleep, he would have been scared to death by this strange phenomenon that completely violated the laws of nature. But just now, in order to save Faang Yixuan, he had put in a lot of physical activity. Now, he was sleeping like a dead pig.

The vibration frequency of the silver hairpin was getting faster and faster, and the light emitted from it was getting more and more dazzling as the vibration frequency increased. There was no physics or chemistry that could explain this magical phenomenon. Even the small merchant who stole the hairpin from the tomb would probably not have thought that such a miraculous thing would happen.

The vibration finally disappeared with a flash of light, and the hairpin once again lay quietly on the desk. However, after two to three seconds, an extremely tiny crack appeared on the silver hairpin's body! Moreover, this crack was still gradually expanding. Small pieces of silver metal actually fell off the hairpin. The small wooden flower that was stuck on the hairpin instantly shattered!

Fann Binn was woken up by the sound of firecrackers. But when he opened his eyes, he was shocked to find a golden ray of light rushing towards his head!

"Save..." Just as Fann Binn's vocal cords uttered this word, he immediately felt a sharp pain at the back of his head. Then, he fell into a strange silence.

A golden light was slowly emitting from the lower part of his head. One could faintly see that inside the golden light was a golden needle that was so tiny that even the naked eye could not see it clearly. And this golden needle had obviously been hidden inside the hairpin!

At this moment, Fann Binn really wanted to shout, but he discovered that although he could feel it, he was unable to move his entire body. Not to mention shouting, he had even lost the ability to blink.

A very strange and strange scene began to appear in his mind. He looked at the string of strange characters that appeared in his mind, and it started to feel strange. However, what shocked him was that after a while, he was actually able to read these strange characters with his heart!

"What do you mean by integrated light storage multi-function electron beam? Wait... what is a master recognition program? Hm? Hey hey, what do you mean by activating it again!" Seeing the string of characters slowly appearing and disappearing in his mind, the doubt in Fann Binn's heart never stopped. When the final scene was fixed on activating these two strange symbols, Fann Binn's brain almost went blank like a computer.

After an unknown amount of time, the golden light that stopped at the back of Fann Binn's head gradually disappeared. A golden needle was exposed in the air and half of it was still inserted into Fann Binn's skin.
