In my 40s, the trading system took me flying

Old Wang looked in the direction of Xu Xiaoya's finger, and then narrowed his eyes.

He seemed to know why the contact person had not shown up.

"I'll go down and take a look. Don't go out while you're up there!"

Lao Wang reminded him and was about to leave, but Xu Xiaoya held him back: "Dad, you are an adult, and you are too conspicuous. I will go buy you some snacks!"

At first, Lao Wang didn't react, but soon he realized Xu Xiaoya's intention. He took out the money and handed it to Xu Xiaoya.

Xu Xiaoya took the money, opened the door and ran out.

After all, she was just a child. There were many children running and playing outside on the street. No adult would care about the presence of a child, not to mention that she was just going to the shop next to the teahouse to buy some snacks.

This situation is very common. Which child doesn't help adults with things?

While Xu Xiaoya was waiting for the appetizers to be ready, she looked at the man who looked like a Japanese soldier.

Although the man disguised himself very well and was sitting next to the teahouse, seemingly listening to the storyteller telling stories in the teahouse, he was unable to keep his attention on the storyteller and his eyes wandered around.

You don't need to look closely to know what's going on. This person's target has never been the storyteller, but the passers-by around him.

Xu Xiaoya passed by the Japanese soldier while carrying some snacks. To be honest, this person had almost no characteristics of a Japanese soldier, except that there was something wrong with his fingers.

If Xu Xiaoya had not observed carefully and the system had not reminded her, she probably would not have discovered the problem.

This little Japanese is a master of disguise.

When Xu Xiaoya returned to Lao Wang, he had already opened the snacks and started eating.

"It's confirmed. He's a Japanese spy. I just don't know if his goal is the same as ours."

It’s no wonder Xu Xiaoya made such a guess. Something is wrong here, and a woman died today.

Lao Wang didn't know either, so he could only wait and see. Patience was the last thing they needed.

After dinner, Lao Wang did not go out again. He just turned off the lights and lay by the window to observe the situation below. As for Xu Xiaoya, she had already returned to the space to rest.

The next morning, when Xu Xiaoya came out, Lao Wang had dark spots under his eyes and looked like he had not slept well.

"Dad, you wouldn't risk your life so hard, would you?"

Xu Xiaoya was frightened and hurriedly pulled Lao Wang to sleep for a while. She looked at the window. Because it was an attic on the second floor, she could see what was happening outside without having to stick her head out.

The spy was definitely gone, but because it was morning, many shops were still closed and the streets were filled with people hurriedly passing by.

Everyone seemed to be in a hurry to go to work, and not many people were communicating with each other. There were some people selling breakfast on the street.

"There's no one here, why aren't you sleeping?"

Xu Xiaoya was curious about why Lao Wang stayed up late, but Lao Wang yawned and did not go to bed immediately. Instead, he went to the washbasin rack. There was water in the basin, so he scooped up the cold water and splashed it on his face.

The cold water instantly refreshed him.

"Someone died again last night. There was a gunfight in this alley!"

Lao Wang rubbed his face and shook off the water droplets.

Because Xu Xiaoya was sleeping in the space, she naturally didn't know what was happening outside. When she heard what Lao Wang said, her gossipy heart instantly came out.

"What's going on? Did the contact person show up?"

Lao Wang shook his head: "It's not one of ours. I suspect it has something to do with the woman who died yesterday!"

He didn't say why he made such a guess. Xu Xiaoya knew that Lao Wang was not a person who spoke without thinking, and he must have discovered something wrong.

As long as the Japanese spies are not staring at them, they can pray that the contact person can notice something is wrong and not show up easily, so as to avoid a collision, which would make it very difficult to escape.

Xu Xiaoya took out breakfast from the space, and Lao Wang sat down and finished his breakfast before going to bed.

"Dad, I'm going out for a walk and to find out what's going on. You go to sleep first, I'll be back in an hour!"

Old Wang wanted Wang Wen and Wang Wu to come out and accompany Xu Xiaoya, but Xu Xiaoya disagreed at all.

Are you kidding? Two grown men showed up at this time, and who knows if they would be targeted. She is just a child and it is very safe.

Lao Wang couldn't convince Xu Xiaoya, so he could only tell her to be careful.

After Xu Xiaoya came out of the yard, she squatted at the door. The children around her noticed her and came over to her.

"Are you new here?"

A child sniffed and leaned close to Xu Xiaoya, looking curious.

Xu Xiaoya, who had some candy in her pocket, handed the child a piece and asked, "Well, how did you find out?"

The child was not very old, about the same age as Xu Xiaoya. He was at the age of seven or eight and was the most mischievous. Although he could help with things at home, most parents would not really force him to do things all the time and would still let him play.

"You don't look like you're from here. Besides, I know all the kids in this area, but I've never seen you before!"

The appearance of a new face will definitely interest the children.

Xu Xiaoya looked at him. His clothes were so tattered and patched up that they were unsightly. The sleeves were very short. Although he was wearing shoes, his big toe was exposed.

It was obvious that life was difficult at home, so it was no wonder that he just licked the candy she handed him and put it away.

Most likely, you are reluctant to eat it.

"Are you familiar with this area?"

Xu Xiaoya never underestimates children. She is a child now and has seen the abilities of many children. Naturally, she subconsciously wants to know more.

"Of course I was born and raised here!"

Xu Xiaoya handed the little boy another handful of candies, about seven or eight in total. The little boy's eyes lit up. Candies were a luxury, and he had never eaten them twice in his life.

"Then can you take me for a walk? If you can do it well, I'll give you candy!"

Xu Xiaoya used candy as a reward, and the little boy was naturally very happy. He said it was no problem and immediately asked Xu Xiaoya to follow him.

Although there was a big gap between the two people, the little boy did not feel inferior. He introduced himself to Xu Xiaoya and even told her many problems with the shops, telling her which shops she could buy things from with confidence and which shops were scams.

Passing by a shoe store, Xu Xiaoya looked at the little boy's toes, which were already red from the cold. To be honest, she was not a heartless person, but she felt that the boy had done her a great favor and she should do something for him.

But buying shoes directly for little boys isn't a smart move, at least not right now.

She just noted down the store that sold shoes and gave the little boy a pair of shoes when he left.

An hour passed quickly, and the little boy took Xu Xiaoya back to the gate of the courtyard. Xu Xiaoya kept her promise and handed the little boy a handful of candy. When she was about to go back, she saw the Japanese spy again.
