When the scarred man saw Xu Nuannuan, he asked directly, "What medicine do you want to buy?"
Xu Nuannuan answered the question irrelevantly, "Don't be busy yet, I want to ask you something."
"I only sell medicine, not information." The scarred man answered bluntly.
Xu Nuannuan smiled, took out five yuan, and showed it to him. "It's all about making money anyway, no matter how much you make."
The scarred man immediately changed his words and said, "I'll give you a piece of information. How much will you pay me?"
"That depends on the value of the information you provide. A cheap one might be 50 cents, and a high one might be 5 yuan at most."
"Well, ask ahead."
It's just a matter of saying a few words, so it's a waste not to make the money.
"I want to ask you, who came to you to buy arsenic more than a month ago?"
"I don't remember how many people came here to buy it. Some people even came directly to my house to buy it. There were too many people, I can't remember them all."
In their line of work, you have to follow the rules to make money and you can't cheat customers.
"Well, you're very honest, I'm sure my money's worth."
"Do you remember, a month ago, an old lady in her sixties came to you to buy medicine. She looked like this."
Xu Nuannuan described Liu Cuiying's appearance to her.
The scarred man shook his head, "I probably haven't seen it."
The customer has spent money, so he cannot lie to him.
Xu Nuannuan felt that since it wasn't Liu Cuiying who came to buy the medicine, it must be Guan Yurong.
"Do you remember seeing a woman in her forties who came to you to buy arsenic? She looked like this."
She described Guan Yurong's appearance to the man with the scar.
The scarred man still shook his head. "I haven't seen it. Maybe too many people come to me to buy arsenic, so I can't remember clearly. Those who come to me to buy arsenic are usually farmers from around here."
It was just before the autumn harvest, and they were buying medicine to kill the rats in their homes to prevent them from eating their food after the harvest. There were so many people, I can't remember exactly how many there were.
Xu Nuannuan had no doubt that most of the people who came to him to buy medicine were farmers. The dress and temperament of farmers were very different from those of city dwellers.
Liu Cuiying and Guan Yurong were both city dwellers, especially Guan Yurong, who always dressed like a cadre, her gait and gestures giving off an air of superiority. If she had come here to buy medicine, the scarred man would have remembered her.
Since Guan Yurong and Liu Cuiying have never been here, they may have asked someone else to buy the medicine.
Now the clues were suddenly cut off again, and Xu Nuannuan could only wait for Guan Yurong to reveal other flaws.
She gave the scarred man a dollar, but he refused to take it: "I failed to provide you with any useful information, so I can't accept this money."
Xu Nuannuan secretly discovered that he was very principled: "This is your hard work fee, take it."
She put the money down and turned to leave.
When they were leaving the black market from the front, Tuanzi reminded Xu Nuannuan again.
"Nuannuan, I can sense Qin Wushuang again. He's 28.39 meters ahead of you."
"Your sense of smell can be accurate to the centimeter."
"You can ask me to be precise down to the millimeter if you want."
"Okay, that's all."
Xu Nuannuan instinctively took a few steps back before observing which one was Qin Wushuang.
She looked around but didn't see any familiar figure. Qin Wushuang must have changed his clothes again.
"Nuannuan, she's in front of an antique stall, dressed as a woman now. That's the one with the pockmarked face."
"Your dog eyesight is so good."
"Hehe, it's still not as good as you humans, because I have already determined her location by smell. I can tell with a little observation."
As expected, Xu Nuannuan saw a girl with pockmarked face squatting in front of a street stall picking out antiques.
She saw that Qin Wushuang's face was black and red. If she was farther away, she would have thought that Qin Wushuang had a birthmark on his entire face.
The heroine is really cruel to herself.
"Tuanzi, since she's here, let's go home another way."
"Okay, let's go back the same way we did yesterday."
Just as Xu Nuannuan was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly saw a porcelain bottle at Qin Wushuang's feet disappear out of thin air. Then she saw Qin Wushuang quickly touch another small object in front of him, and that small object also disappeared.
Then Qin Wushuang stood up, glanced at the busy boss, and left in a leisurely manner.
Tuanzi also saw Qin Wushuang stealing things clearly in the space.
"Nuannuan, the heroine actually came to the street stall to steal things."
"Yeah, is it possible that the heroine is very poor and can't afford those things?"
"Maybe she doesn't want to buy it even if she has the money. After all, stealing it doesn't cost money."
Xu Nuannuan pursed her lips and said, "Maybe it's a blessing from heaven. I can benefit myself at the expense of others, gain something without any effort, and not have to accept any punishment."
"Nuannuan, I think there's something sour in what you said. I can smell it."
"A dog's nose is really sharp. I'm just jealous. Oh, who told her to be the heroine? We can't compare. Let's not compare anymore. Just be yourself."
"Yeah, we should do what we think we should do. No matter how the heaven arranges it, that old man will do whatever he wants."
"Tuanzi, you scolded him again."
"Just scold him, but how can he treat a dog like me?"
"Hahahaha, Tuanzi, you really are such a dog."
*
In the evening, Mr. Guan returned home and told Mrs. Guan that he would go to see his old comrade in the evening.
Old Madam Guan went to find Xu Nuannuan again, "Nuannuan, your grandpa said he wanted to visit his old comrades tonight, do you want to go with him?"
