Chapter 160: Rescue the Woman Such a dirty woman, actually...
Hulu Commune is located in a very remote area.
There are mountains on the west and south sides, and the surging Yangtze River to the north. Only to the east is there a plain, connecting two suburban communes leading to the main urban area.
Yang Shuming couldn't help but sigh, "During the Liberation War, this was the toughest place to fight in Yicheng. Many bandits and roving bandits hid in here, ruled the mountains, and stubbornly resisted for months."
Yao Zhizhi really didn't know much about this history, but looking at the surrounding terrain and the direction of the mountains, this place was indeed very suitable as a stronghold, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
She was a little curious: "Is the Xishan Mine nearby?"
Yang Shuming nodded. "Yes, if we go a little southwest, we can mine the ore and ship it north to the port on the Yangtze River. Cargo ships come and go there every day. A little further east, we'll reach the Grand Canal. The waterways are well developed, and we can readily support the construction of other cities."
So that's how it is. No wonder no one in Hulu Commune wants to take care of it. Not only will a disturbance delay mining, but it will also make it easy for people to hide in the deep mountains and forests and fight to the end.
If we go into the mountains to search, it will inevitably consume a lot of manpower and material resources, which will not be worth the cost.
What's more, this is the place where multiple provinces meet, and the population movement is more frequent than other places, especially those who jump on trains, which is hard to guard against.
Yao Zhizhi suddenly understood Ye Zheng's cautiousness. Not to mention the Ye family's family situation, just to survive in this area, one had to be extremely alert.
When they arrived at Hulu Commune, Yang Shuming invited the local public security commissioner Xiao Zheng to lead the way and visit every household together.
Qi Changxiao got out of the car and wrapped Yang Shuming's clothes with a scarf, wrapping them tightly to prevent them from falling off while walking. After all, it was not easy for him to put on clothes now, and it was really tiring for him to come out.
Yao Zhizhi took a pen and paper and lied that she was a clerk helping Yang Shuming with record-keeping work, and followed him all the way.
I have to say, this is really a paradise for eating melons.
Since entering the village, Yao Zhizhi's system has never been quiet.
Even the old bachelor passing by had something on him - he had done something unspeakable to the sows in the production team.
Yao Zhizhi felt a little sympathetic towards her eyes and ears. Oh my God, what did she hear and see.
There is also an elderly couple who have been at odds with each other since they got married. After more than 30 years of marriage, they have caused the deaths of two sons and three daughters. Now they are both almost 60 years old and can no longer do that. They have begun to shamelessly go to their nephews and nieces' homes for free meals, hoping that their brothers' children will take care of them in their old age and see them to the end of their lives.
My nephew has a family to support and limited patience. After letting them stay at my house for three months, he refused to cook for them. Then they lay down at the door of my nephew's house and acted like a spoiled child. Anyway, they come and go without any worries and have no shame but their lives.
It happened that Yang Shuming came to their nephew's house to inquire about the situation, and the two old men got up and hoped that Xiao Zheng would help them get justice.
Xiao Zheng had been here many times before, and seeing these two old men made him feel overwhelmed. He quickly reminded them, "Stop making trouble. This is Captain Yang from the Municipal Criminal Police Team. He's here to handle your Ye family's murder case. If you delay his work, you two will be detained."
The two old guys didn't want to be detained, it would be so uncomfortable, so they ran away quickly.
Xiao Zheng quickly introduced them, "They're a notorious family in Hulu Commune that has lost everything. All five of their children were abused to death by them. They're truly a scourge that will last for thousands of years."
Yang Shuming was quite surprised. How could being a parent in this world not require an exam? It was ironic that someone like him was worthy of having five children.
After entering the yard, the Ye family members came over to say hello.
The man's face was covered in acne scars, and his entire face was uneven and red. After hearing the purpose of the visit, he suddenly realized, "So it's about Xiaojun's family. Then why are you investigating us? We didn't know he would kill anyone."
Yang Shuming explained, "Because he said he killed five more people, but we haven't found them yet, so we need to verify the membership structure of your Ye family to see if anyone is missing."
The man smiled and said, "You killed five more? That's impressive, Xiaojun. I never realized you're usually so quiet, but you turned out to be such a big shot! You're quite courageous."
Yang Shuming was speechless. No wonder no one was willing to come to Hulu Commune. These people had serious problems with their thinking.
Forget it, now is not the time to judge others. Hurry up and check who are the family members.
Xiao Zheng does have a roster with basic information recorded, but this kind of thing cannot be counted. Some people concealed or lied about the information of their family members - for example, a woman was abducted by hopping on the train. This can only be known through personal visits and on-site investigations.
For example, when an elderly person dies, they are not cremated but buried directly. The commune has only one special commissioner, who does not have the time to follow up on this information all the time, so the situation on the list is very different from the actual situation.
It took us a whole morning to find out the situation of more than 20 households during this visit. Two of them refused to cooperate and were hesitant in answering any questions.
Yang Shuming's intuition told him that something fishy was going on in these two families, so he quickly asked Xiao Zheng to go to the commune's armed forces department to get help.
Sure enough, when the militia arrived, they found two tied-up women in the homes of the two families.
A mentally ill woman, with a haggard appearance, matted hair, and lice all over her body, had given birth to a lot of children, but not a single one was willing to take care of her and clean up after her.
There was another one who was in high spirits and resisted particularly fiercely. He was just caught by the Ye family when they hijacked the train.
Both women were taken to the commune. The second one quickly stated her home address, and the armed forces department would arrange special personnel to take charge of her return home.
The first one was stupid and clueless, and knew nothing about anything. Fortunately, Yao Zhizhi's melon-eating system could identify the woman's identity.
However, she couldn't show off her magical powers in front of outsiders and directly report the woman's name and hometown, so she had to think of other ways.
Fortunately, this woman was a college student in the 1950s and should be able to write. Yao Zhizhi quickly handed her a pen and paper and patiently guided her: "Can you write? Look, my name is Yao Zhizhi. Yao, Zhi, Zhi. What about you? What's your name? Write it for me."
The woman stared at the three words "Yao Zhizhi" in surprise, tilting her head, as if thinking about something.
Finally, he picked up the pen and tremblingly wrote three distorted words - Feng Yingjie.
"Your name is Feng Yingjie?" Yao Zhizhi knew that these three words matched the ones in the system, but she still had to verify it in order to show it to others.
The woman nodded, and at that moment, a hint of pride flashed in her confused eyes.
Aren’t they heroes? They are the first batch of college students after the founding of the People’s Republic of China.
The darling daughter of her parents, who was the apple of her parents' eyes, was studying mechanical engineering, a very useful subject.
Yao Zhizhi was struck by a deep feeling of powerlessness. It was so difficult for a woman to live in this world. Even if her parents were not partial and did not favor boys over girls, they could not withstand the floods and beasts outside. In an unexpected accident, she would be swept away and thrown into a quagmire where life was worse than death, unable to escape.
Fortunately, she came today, and fortunately, her brother-in-law did not find it troublesome and did not refuse her.
Maybe they can even help this poor woman find her family.
Yao Zhizhi cheered up and continued to guide her: "Where are you from? Look at me——"
She took the paper and pen, wrote the two words "Yingcheng", and then handed the paper and pen to the woman.
The woman tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then wrote down four distorted Chinese characters—Shanxi, Taiyuan.
Probably because he hasn't held a pen for nearly twenty years, his handwriting is not much better than that of an elementary school student.
But Yao Zhizhi could see that when this woman lowered her head to write, the calmness that came from the depths of her soul could not be faked.
This woman loves to read!
Yao Zhizhi's nose felt sore. She felt sorry for the poor woman, and also regretted her own fate of being almost sold countless times. She sighed for the thousands of women who had suffered, were suffering, or would suffer injustice.
She took the workbook and continued asking questions.
She wrote down the names of her parents, brothers and sisters and asked Feng Yingjie to write his own.
Feng Yingjie thought for a long time and wrote down the names of his father, mother and sister.
Just as her name sounds majestic, her sister is Feng Yinghao.
It can be seen that their parents love them very much and did not give them random names just because they are daughters.
Yao Zhizhi asked her if she remembered the name of her school and her teacher.
Feng Yingjie pondered for a moment, then added "University" after the two words "Yingcheng" written by Yao Zhizhi, followed by a name, probably her teacher.
This much information should be enough to verify this woman's identity. Yao Zhizhi quickly tore off the piece of paper and handed it to Xiao Zheng: "Officer Zheng, can you help contact her family?"
"No problem." Xiao Zheng was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that such a dirty woman was actually a college student.
He quickly asked the commune militia to take the woman back to the commune armed forces department and wait, and he would go there later.
Yao Zhizhi and others continued to visit and investigate in the Ye family’s village.
At noon I had some biscuits and bread and drank some water.
Take a short break and continue.
It was not until sunset that we finished visiting all the more than one hundred households.
During this period, three abducted children were found, one boy and two girls.
That boy was bought by Ye Zheng and Ye Sheng's parents to carry on the family line. He just arrived yesterday and was taken away by Public Security Officer Xiao Zheng today. The couple had a huge fight.
Fortunately, Ye Sheng still had some humanity. He neither exposed Yao Zhizhi's identity nor helped the evildoer. Instead, he stopped her parents and asked them to let the little boy go.
Even though her parents slapped her twice in anger, she did not back down. Instead, she stood firmly at the gate to buy time for the militiamen.
Only when the commune militia arrived did the couple completely calm down.
Yao Zhizhi didn’t know what Ye Sheng was about to face, but she could guess.
So before leaving, she asked Xiao Zheng to call Ye Sheng and go to the commune together.
As for how to arrange Ye Sheng, Yao Zhizhi has also thought about it. At worst, she can let her live in San Tiao Hutong first. Now Ding Can and Zhao Maimiao have not returned yet, so the house is empty.
