On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, just after noon, Sun Changhai came to Xu San's shop, preparing to drag him to find the pretty boy selling fake medicine.
The early spring afternoon was quite comfortable, and Xu San sat lazily at the door of the store, unwilling to move.
The sun was shining warmly on my body, and there were little girls surrounding me chattering about stories about her and the little bear.
It was a rare coincidence, but it was disturbed by the unlucky child in front of him.
"Uncle Xu, is he a good traitor or a bad traitor?" The little girl asked softly next to Xu San's ear, and then looked at Chen Changhai in military uniform with wary eyes.
As expected, the little girl had a habit of saying surprising things. Fortunately, Sun Changhai didn't seem to hear him. He was currently looking at the products on Xu San's shelves to see what he could buy.
"Remember what uncle taught you?" Xu San whispered to the little girl, biting her ears.
"Remember, no matter what is good or bad, you can't say it out loud, and you have to pretend that you think they are good people."
Xu San touched the little girl's hair and said in a low voice: "Go and tell that uncle, Uncle Chen, have a happy New Year and wish you good fortune. Just bring the red envelope and bow to it. No need to kowtow."
The little girl nodded solemnly, curled her lips, and a bright smile immediately appeared on her face. Then she ran to Chen Changhai's side and tugged on the corner of his clothes: "Happy New Year to Uncle Chen. I wish you good fortune. Here's the red envelope." After saying that, she pulled the little bear and gave Chen Changhai a bow.
"Uh..." Changhai was overwhelmed by the sudden New Year's greetings. He looked at the little girl and then at Xu San: "This is..."
"The girl next door, just think of it as my niece." Xu San explained, looking at Chen Changhai's money pocket, saying, my niece is your niece, just give it to me.
"So, eldest niece, you are celebrating the New Year too. Come, uncle will give you New Year's money." After saying this, he took out a dime from his pocket and handed it to the little girl.
"Thank you, Uncle Chen. Little Bear also wishes you a happy new year. He hasn't done it yet?"
Chen Changhai: "......"
Xu San: "......"
Chen Changhai looked at Xu San, then at the little girl and the little bear, gritted his teeth, took out another hair and handed it to the little bear.
The little girl controlled Little Bear to hold the money between his two short-term rental arms, "Little Bear said, thank you Uncle Chen."
If Chen Changhai, who was stingy and stingy, had asked for new year's money from another little girl, he would have kicked her out earlier.
But the little girl is different. Although he looks similar to many little girls in Ping'an City, at most there are no patches on his clothes and his face looks clean.
But after the little girl hugged the little bear, it made people feel more noble, and the smile on her face also seemed particularly healing.
"Okay, go home. Your mother is busy these days, so go and help." Xu San pressed the little girl's head and told her to go back quickly, because the following conversation may not be suitable for children.
"Goodbye Uncle Xu, goodbye Uncle Chen."
The puppet army is like a rat crossing the street. It cannot be said that everyone shouts and beats it, but if normal people see it, they will probably avoid it.
Today, a cute little girl came over to ask for lucky money, which made Chen Changhai feel handsome again.
But after being handsome for less than three seconds, his head suddenly dropped.
Being handsome is useless, but a few people are sick!
When he thought of this, Chen Changhai felt aggrieved and wanted to drag Xu San to find the pretty boy immediately.
Xu San raised his head and glanced at the sky, "It's just after noon, is it appropriate for us to go right now?"
"If there is anything inappropriate, they are doing business with the door open." Chen Changhai disagreed. He was very knowledgeable in this area and knew that these kilns opened their business after noon.
Xu San shook his head, feeling that Chen Changhai's IQ was really worrying. We were not here to take care of Sister Yao's business, but to catch people selling counterfeit medicines. Can they come out in broad daylight?
"Please, the shopkeeper, bring me the little blue bear."
When business came, Xu San left Chen Changhai behind, got into the counter, picked up the blue bear, and handed it to the customer in front of him.
Xu San smiled and looked at the guest in front of him: he was slightly short, less than 1.6 meters tall, wearing a black student uniform and a forward hat. At first glance, he looked similar to most students of this era.
The reason Xu San pays attention to him is not because he is a student, but because of his accent.
His accent is exactly the kind of harsh Northeastern accent that Chen Changhai said.
Chen Changhai was about to ask, but Xu San stopped him: "Brother Chen, let's talk later."
"This bear is very cute. How much does it cost?" The visitor didn't seem to see the price tag and asked about the price of the bear.
"One dollar and ninety-nine cents. If you really want it, how about one dollar and eighty cents?" Xu San offered to give up the price to see the visitor's reaction.
"Really? Thank you so much. I want this one. Please wrap it for me."
He took out a custom-made wooden gift box from under the counter and stuffed the bear into it. "Guest, you are really discerning. The teddy bear you selected is a limited edition, so each one is guaranteed to be unique."
"Really? Then I'm so lucky!" The visitor happily paid and left with the gift box in his arms.
Xu San is now absolutely sure that the person who bought the little bear just now must be a Japanese.
The first is her tone of voice. Although she pretends to be very good, her habitual use of honorifics betrays her.
There is another point, which is Xu San's intuition, because this person gives him a sense of déjà vu as he sees the heroine of a Japanese action movie.
"Third Master, he..."
"I also discovered that I asked you to be quiet just now because I was afraid that you would alert someone. You also saw it just now. Was it this pretty boy?"
Chen Changhai scratched his head, "It was all in the dark at the time, and I didn't see clearly what that person looked like, but his voice didn't sound like him, and his body shape didn't look the same, but the accent was almost the same."
"You can't tell anything just by the accent. We have no evidence, and we can't just arrest people. And you also saw that he bought a bear for two yuan without blinking. Does this mean that he is an ordinary person? ?" Xu San first calmed Chen Changhai with his words, fearing that he would act rashly, because he felt that there seemed to be an undercurrent surging in Ping An City.
For two yuan, even if Chen Changhai died, he wouldn't sell it. At this price, he could keep the kiln sister for several days.
When he thought of Sister Yao and had no reaction, Chen Changhai felt bad again.
"Hey~~" Chen Changhai sighed.
"I'll take you to the nursery later and let Dr. Sun take a look at it."
"Hey~ this is the only way!" Sun Changhai sighed again and squatted aside to smoke.

"Shopkeeper, here's a pack of matches."
It’s not easy to do business again.
Ever since Chen Changhai poked around, no one has visited his shop. Not only that, but several shops around him have also suffered.
The customer didn't ask about the price, he just took out two cents and put it on the counter. Then he took out a cigarette and handed one to Xu San.
Xu San waved his hand: "No!"
"What's the shopkeeper's surname?" the guest asked.
"My surname is Xu, and I am the third oldest." Xu San replied with a smile, and then carefully observed the two people in front of him.
Both of them were wearing long robes, and their clothes were covered with dust. It looked like they were in a hurry.
The leader was in his thirties and looked very serious. How should I put it, it made Xu San feel like a teacher, but he didn't have the pedantic air of a teacher.
The young man standing behind him, although wearing a long gown, had a heroic spirit about him and looked very energetic. His eyes were also big and lively. From time to time, he turned quickly, but then his eyes stayed on the former. On the body.
Two interesting people.
This puppet soldier is coming over to buy things. He is obviously here to strike up a conversation.
"Shopkeeper, your store... is quite unique."
That's it again, can't you use another adjective? Although Xu San complained in his heart, he still smiled and replied: "Thank you for the compliment. Our store is small, but we do have some good things."
It's still a fountain pen, but this time it's in light gray.
Flipping over the price tag, it read three yuan and three cents, and the middle-aged man pushed it back without even unscrewing it.
"Don't you want to take a look? This pen is a foreign product, and it uses new technology to ensure comfortable writing."
"I don't want to look at it, because I'm afraid I might pull it out in my eyes." The middle-aged man smiled and said frankly.
Xu San smiled apologetically and put away the pen, "It's okay, business is not done because of benevolence and righteousness. Why don't you, the little brother next to you, take a look? Our shop does have some good stuff."
The young man just glanced at it and didn't pay attention. He said, "I won't buy it. You don't have what I need here."
"By the way, there is also this. You can buy it back and give it to your wife. She will be happy." Xu San took out a tray from under the counter.
There weren't many things on the tray, they were just gadgets that women wore on their heads.
There are some that Xu San collected from fellow villagers some time ago, and some were designed by Xu San and manufactured by Ma Cuilan.
The young man took a few glances at these things, but he didn't have the slightest desire to buy them: "I don't have a wife."
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe after giving it to the girl you like, she will become your wife?" Xu San still spared no effort to promote, hoping that this young man can buy his products. Because as long as a young man buys something casually, he will know who this young man is.
Perhaps moved by Xu San's sales pitch, the young man finally chose from the tray, and then he chose a red headband, "That's it."
"Two cents!" Xu San quoted a price, then picked up a piece of purple headband, wrapped it and handed it to the young man: "This purple piece is a gift from me. I wish you lovers will get married eventually."
The young man blushed, then put away the headband and put it in his arms.
After the young man put away his headband, the two of them left without saying any more words, as if they were just ordinary guests passing by.
Xu San was thinking while getting on the board, who are these two people?
Is it just to come to me to buy a box of matches and a hair tie?
The more he thought about it, the more Xu San felt something was wrong. He immediately put down what he was doing and said to Chen Changhai: "Brother Chen, help me pack up first. I'll go in and change clothes."

Seeing the identities of these people, a cold sweat broke out on Xu San's back.
Shopkeeper Tian can be said to be just an ordinary wage earner.
But the identities of the other three people, especially the female ninja, when the words member of the Assassination Department appeared, Xu San instantly felt a chill on his neck, as if someone had scratched him again.
Looking at the identities of the two Eighth Route Army intelligence officers, no matter which one looks awesome, they are directly affiliated with the general situation.
The second subject is okay, it can be understood as investigating the identity.
But why are you here in the third department?
Could it be that the use of walkie-talkies between himself and Li Si was discovered?
Headache, big head.
Xu San suddenly felt that his poor IQ was not enough in the face of the truth. The heavy pressure on his body made him feel a little out of breath.
Under the heavy pressure, Xu San's thinking was confused, and he was at a loss for a moment.
But soon, Xu San felt a sudden lightness in his body, as if a warm current was rising from his lower abdomen.
Hey, isn't this the true energy mentioned in that book?
Am I feeling angry?
However, this little bit of zhenqi could only make Xu San feel better physically and clearer his mind, but nothing else seemed to be of any use, not even increasing his strength.
Now that his mind is clear, Xu San can face the situation in front of him again.
The first is the Japanese who speaks Chinese. Xu San thinks that he should also be a ninja and belong to the same organization as Fan Ji, the so-called Fujita group.
As for why he sells drugs, it's probably just drug testing and random selection.
Anyway, Xu San felt that the possibility of poisoning Chen Changhai was very low.
As for Fan Ji, Xu San felt that he might have something to do with the drug seller.
As for the reason, it can only be said to be intuition.
The matter about ninjas can be put aside for the time being, because according to the information given in the system, Fan Ji's address is Lin County, not Ping'an County, which reduces her risk a bit.
And the four-star review also made Xu San feel that Fan Ji didn't have that much malice towards him, at least she wasn't here to step on some points.
For the remaining two Eighth Route Army special commissioners, Xu San could only make a rough guess about the purpose of their trip, and he could only accept it. I will just cooperate with you as you say.
Anyway, when the time comes, you can tell the truth and have a clear conscience.
It's been a month since I traveled through time, and I've sent out a lot of valuable information, and even planned a rescue operation. Even if my origins are unknown, I probably won't be shot on the spot.
There is also a walkie-talkie. If it is really found, the worst case is that it will be turned in directly. As for the origin, just say that it was picked up.
After figuring out all the links, Xu San calmed down, patted his face, changed into his military uniform, and opened the door.
