After Su Xingran returned home, Duan Yuming and Doctor Huang, who had just returned from a house call in a neighboring village, talked about what Su Xingran had discovered that day.
Uncle Huang, today I, Xingran, am going up the mountain. We're splitting up. I'll be hunting, and Xingran will be gathering herbs.
While gathering herbs, Xingran discovered what was happening. She overheard people from the Sakura Kingdom talking to villagers. She hid and eavesdropped.
She saw the appearance of the people from the Sakura Kingdom, and she also saw the man talking to the Sakura Kingdom man. He was a man from her village named Zhang Yizhu.
Xingran overheard the man from the Sakura Kingdom calling Zhang Yizhu back to keep an eye on the old doctor surnamed Huang. I asked Xingran, and she's the only doctor in Sujia Village.
Uncle Huang, you seem to be under someone's watch. Have you encountered anything unusual or met with anyone strange in Sujia Village these past few years?
I've been here for six years now, counting from the year I first arrived. In these six years, I haven't discovered anything unusual or met anyone special.
I used to occasionally go up the mountain to collect herbs, but I only went to the outer edges of the mountain and never went deep into the mountains.
According to you, Zhang Yizhu is a spy. He and his wife went to the Min family to arrange a marriage between their son and Xingran. Later, they spread rumors, trying to force the Min family to accept the marriage.
However, I hadn't really noticed this Zhang. I almost never leave the village except to make house calls. I also don't have any dealings with the people in this village.
They've set their sights on me; I don't know if it's been planned for a long time or just begun. After all, if they really wanted to target me, they've had plenty of opportunities over the past six years. I'm inclined to believe it's probably only started recently.
I have no ulterior motives. Either they want to control me to keep the Taihe and Taizhou brothers in check, or they want to use my medical skills.
Your Aunt Gu has developed several prescriptions, mainly targeting the virus infection caused by Japan's invasion of China. I assisted her and participated in her research on these prescriptions.
During the War of Resistance against Japan, Japan conducted numerous experiments in Northeast China, including in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province. Where there are experiments, there must be laboratories.
So far, the laboratory is still hidden in the shadows and hasn't been found. I'm wondering if the man from Japan that Xingran met is related to the laboratory.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be anything in Sujia Village, the village of the Dongfeng Brigade, that would warrant a spy infiltrating for so many years. This matter needs to be reported; go and discuss it with Mo Ting and Tai An.
Also, you and Xingran should not go up the mountain again recently, so as not to alert them. Have someone keep a close eye on Zhang Yizhu's family.
And that girl Xingran, she's too daring. I'm often away on house calls, so you have to keep an eye on her and not let her take any risks.
Okay, Uncle Huang, I'll go to town to find Mo Ting and the others tomorrow. I already told Xing Ran about it; that girl is really bold. She actually dared to hide and eavesdrop.
Su Xingran returned home and took out the pheasant and rabbit that Duan Yuming had insisted on giving her. After cooking, she waited for her parents to come home for dinner.
After dinner, Su Xingran specifically sought out her father to inquire about the Zhang family. Her father was initially puzzled; why was Ranran asking about the Zhang family out of the blue?
Su Xingran quickly made up an excuse to cover it up. It was best not to reveal the details of this enemy intelligence operation; it would only worry her parents and might also alarm them. If she revealed anything, it would alert the enemy, which would be disastrous.
