Quick Wear: Passerby A's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons

Chapter 13: A stranger in the spy world of the Republic of China

After breakfast, Jiang Yue went to work. After going to the drugstore, she took inventory of the stock and called Chen Xin. During the call, she used a code word to say that it was not safe near her home. After Chen Xin replied that she knew it, she chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.

At noon, a car drove by, and the brothers in the car carried medicinal materials to Jiang Yue's store. Chen Xin also came over. The two entered the store and walked to a place with a good view. Chen Xin asked: "What's going on? Why is the house not safe?"

Jiang Yue took the list of goods and counted the herbs while talking to Chen Xin: "Aunt Fang told me this morning that she found many strangers on the street where my home is, and many of the stalls that usually set up stalls have changed owners."

Chen Xin followed Jiang Yue's footsteps, occasionally picking up herbs to look at them: "Does that have anything to do with you?"

"Probably not. I've been living a very regular life lately and haven't done anything. Maybe there's something else going on. I called you today just to remind you and see if anyone is there."

Chen Xin said she would verify it later, and when all the herbs were packed, Chen Xin got in the car and left together. Jiang Yue added herbs to the empty Chinese medicine cabinet and taught her apprentice how to identify the herbs. After the herbs were packed up, Jiang Yue hung a sign saying "I'm taking a break and going out to eat" and took her apprentice to eat. On the way, she also observed whether anyone was following her, but unfortunately she had no anti-tracking training and could not see anything.

After dinner, he went to the pharmacy and spent the afternoon there as usual. When it got dark, he took his little apprentice home.

In the next few days, Aunt Fang saw strangers here every day when she went out to buy groceries. The next day, Chen Xin called Jiang Yue and told her that she had nothing to do with them. Jiang Yue didn't care and still went to get off work and got off work on time every day. Today, a few people came to work shortly after work and said that they must record down what medicine someone bought in the future. After saying that, they saw that Jiang Yue agreed and left.

After the people left, Jiang Yue found that the situation was more serious and some people were more rampant. Today, these people wanted to tease Jiang Yue, but were stopped by their team leader. It seemed that she had to find a shopkeeper and a doctor in the next few days. She picked up the phone and asked a few acquaintances if anyone knew which doctor was free at home. In the afternoon, someone came for an interview. Jiang Yue asked some questions and hired him.

After explaining the store affairs to him, he took his apprentice home. After returning home, Aunt Fang asked, "Why did you come back so early today? Did something happen?"

Jiang Yue told her what happened this morning. Aunt Fang scolded her and told her not to go. She then called Chen Xin and told her what happened, asking her to call home if she had any problems.

Chen Xin has been very busy recently and his grain business has been unable to continue. Fortunately, Jiang Yue had quietly donated the goods long ago, otherwise they would have been forcibly requisitioned. Now medicines, especially Western medicines for sensitive points, are basically unavailable. The medicines in Jiang Yue's space have also been completely used up and have not been replenished.

Jiang Yue stayed in the study and read for a while, thinking about what he should do, and finally decided to study Western medicine. His master had introduced him to several elders before. Jiang Yue found their contact information and chatted for a while before getting down to business. The other party thought for a moment and said that he would call Jiang Yue back later.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yue looked into the distance. After waiting for a while, the other party gave Jiang Yue a confirmation letter. The school had just started and asked Jiang Yue to go to class next week. The other party also asked about Jiang Yue's master. Jiang Yue said that he had not received a reply. The other party sighed and said, "I don't know if I can see you again in this life."

After thanking the other party, Jiang Yue began to prepare for next week's study. He had bought books on Western medicine before and read a lot in the past few years, but he had never studied it systematically. Anyway, he couldn't go to the clinic now, so learning Western medicine would help him to increase his skills.

Unfortunately, plans can never keep up with changes. Before the next day, near dusk, the phone at home rang urgently. Jiang Yue picked up the phone, but before she could speak, she heard Chen Xin's deliberately low voice from the other end of the phone: "Go quickly."

These two short words conveyed something very important. Jiang Yue immediately stood up and shouted, "Aunt Fang! Aunt Fang, take your suitcases and leave quickly!"

When Aunt Fang's panicked voice came, Jiang Yue had already put important books and other items into the space, walked quickly into the bedroom, picked up a box and left. Knowing that this day would come, Jiang Yue had told Aunt Fang early on that she must prepare a box that can be carried at any time, with only the necessities in it, just like a modern doomsday survival bag. Aunt Fang and Jiang Yue each had one, and even the little apprentice had one.

Jiang Yue changed her clothes and walked downstairs steadily. Aunt Fang and her little apprentice were also changing their clothes.

After they changed their clothes, each of them carried a suitcase, locked the door, hailed two rickshaws as if nothing had happened, gave an address and set off.

As soon as they walked out of the street, they saw several cars driving towards Jiang Yue's home. Not long after they went, they saw a checkpoint in front of them. Jiang Yue hurriedly asked the rickshaw to stop and said that he had forgotten to bring something.

After the rickshaw stopped, Jiang Yue paid the money and got off with the two. She thought about it and decided that they couldn't leave together. Maybe the whereabouts of the family of three had been discovered. If the three of them left together, they would be trapped.

Leading the two to an alley, Jiang Yue asked them to give her the box: "Aunt Fang, you go first. After passing the checkpoint, go to safe house number two."

Aunt Fang also knew the seriousness of the matter, so she walked out of the alley and joined the crowd without saying anything. Jiang Yue took her little apprentice and found an empty corner. She opened the box and took out makeup tools from the space and started to put on makeup.

Jiang Yue decisively cut their hair, took out two sets of men's clothes, and urged his apprentice to change into them quickly. Thanks to the makeup and disguise he had learned from Chen Xin's men, when Jiang Yue finished dressing up, he had already transformed into a man.

She put the forged certificate in her arms, took her apprentice's hand, walked out of the alley calmly, and blended into the crowd. She also bought a string of candied haws for her apprentice to taste. At first glance, she looked like a father taking his child out for a walk.

When they were about to walk out of the street, many secret agents had already started to check one by one. Jiang Yue took a few deep breaths and calmed down.

She didn't know whether Aunt Fang had gotten out safely.

After waiting in line for a while, it was finally the turn of Jiang Yue and her apprentice. The examiner took out a photo and Jiang Yue took a look and it was indeed her.

After comparison, they found that the genders did not match, so they asked Jiang Yue to show her ID.

Jiang Yue handed him the forged ID card. The inspector took a quick look at it and then returned it to her.

Jiang Yue breathed a sigh of relief after walking out of the checkpoint. The first level was passed. The next step was to go to safe house No. 2 to meet up with Aunt Fang, if Aunt Fang also arrived safely.
