Chapter 495 No Woman
Jiang Yu's original purpose of coming to southern Henan was not Jiang Ting, but just asking along the way.
Now hearing Chen Yu say this, she planted the seeds of doubt in her heart.
"But the police in Beicheng have inquired with the locals and said that Jiang Ting is indeed in Tongqiao Village."
If Jiang Ting really came, she must show a letter of introduction, and there will be records in the local area.
Chen Yu was suspicious, and thought that she was Jiang Yu's sister, so she agreed to ask for her.
During this period, Jiang Yu followed the crew to Tongle Village first.
Instead of waiting for news, Jiang Yu prefers to take the initiative.
In Tongle Village, "Ding" is a big surname.
Ding Jianan contacted them because there were distant relatives here.
They were received by Captain Ding, who was about fifty years old. Just looking at his face, he looked like a very decent person.
"There are few people in our village, less than 20 households. In the previous flood, everyone's house was washed away. Now we live in houses rebuilt with the help of the government, but there are still some old houses that are empty. I cleaned them up for you."
Tongle Village is very small, and you can see the end at a glance.
Jiang Yu looked up and saw that because there were strangers in the village, many people came out to watch the excitement.
It seemed normal, but Jiang Yu always felt that something was strange.
Captain Ding took them to the old house, which had only two large shops, and men and women had to live separately.
"The conditions are a bit simple, please bear with me."
Ding Jianan said hurriedly: "Uncle Ding, you don't have to be polite, we will only stay here for two or three days, and then we will leave."
Captain Ding nodded, "The food you asked me to help exchange before is on the stove, you can use it, I won't disturb you to rest."
After that, he glanced at He Tingyue, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.
Not far from the old house, a lame man walked up to him.
"Uncle, there are so many women!"
Captain Ding's eyebrows were heavy, "Ding Jianan is a relative of our village, these people are not allowed to move."
The lame man said anxiously: "Uncle, why don't you just leave Ding Jianan alone! I haven't married yet. If I miss this opportunity, I will never marry in my life!"
Captain Ding did not refute his words, but looked thoughtful.
"Let's talk about it later. They can't leave for a while."
After Captain Ding left, Jiang Yu was thoughtful, always feeling that there was something he hadn't figured out.
"Director Ding, have you been here before?"
Ding Jianan shook his head, "I also learned from my grandmother that several generations ago could have a relationship with this place."
In fact, it's very far away, and they don't usually contact each other.
But when you go out, it doesn't hurt to have more relatives.
"Don't you think it's a little strange here?"
Ding Jianan was stunned, "What's strange?"
Jiang Yu couldn't tell. He
Tingyue walked in, "There are no women."
Jiang Yu suddenly realized, "Yes, I haven't seen any women along the way!"
Don't the women here go out?
Ding Jianan suddenly realized that it seemed to be true.
No matter how small a village is, as long as there are people living there, it will not have only one gender.
"Even the children are only boys, no girls." Jiang Yu finally understood what was strange.
Hearing her say this, Ding Jianan felt a little uneasy.
Ye Zhu guessed: "Is it because the locals are more traditional?"
Ding Jianan shook his head, "I don't know, let's go out
and take a look later." Jiang Yu saw that it was still early and wanted to go to Tongqiao Village to find out about Jiang Ting.
He Tingyue naturally accompanied her.
Tongqiao Village is very close to here, it is a smaller village with only a dozen households.
Hearing that they were going to Tongqiao Village, Captain Ding expressed his willingness to go with them.
On the way, Jiang Yu casually asked: "Captain Ding, there seem to be fewer female comrades in your village?"
Captain Ding smiled and explained: "They don't like to go out."
Jiang Yu didn't say anything else, but he was still suspicious.
If he didn't like to go out, could he still have no women?
When they arrived at Tongqiao Village, Captain Ding introduced them to the local production captain Wang Guisheng.
Jiang Yu took a look and found that he was a disabled person, with his legs hanging empty.
"Captain Wang, we came here to ask you about someone."
Wang Guisheng lowered his head, "Who?"
"Is there a man named Wang Qiusheng in the village? There is a comrade in our courtyard named Fu Xiangyang, who is his cousin."
"Wang Qiusheng? Yes, what do you want to see him about?"
Jiang Yu said, "Didn't Fu Xiangyang send his wife here to take care of the baby? Her name is Jiang Ting. I wonder if you know her?"
Wang Guisheng shook his head decisively, "I don't know her. I haven't heard of anyone coming to his house. That's not true."
He looked up at Jiang Yu with a defensive look.
Jiang Yu was even more confused. The police and local people had inquired and said that they confirmed that Jiang Ting was in Tongqiao Village.
So, which side was lying?
He Tingyue squeezed her hand, "Then we must have made a mistake, or we should look for it somewhere else."
Jiang Yu smiled and nodded, "Yes, sorry to bother you."
"If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know." Wang Guisheng said politely.
Jiang Yu paused, then smiled and said, "Really, I want to go to Wang Qiusheng's house to take a look, okay?"
Wang Guisheng did not agree immediately, but looked up at Captain Ding.
Captain Ding agreed, "Since these two comrades want to go, it's okay to let them go and take a look."
"Okay, Old Ding, help me take them there."
Captain Ding led them to find Wang Qiusheng.
During the conversation on the way, Jiang Yu learned that Wang Guisheng and Wang Qiusheng were cousins.
"Qiusheng has a bad temper, don't mind."
Jiang Yu: "No, he is Xiangyang's cousin after all, and we thought we had to come and visit him."
Everyone lived in the new house built by the government, but Wang Qiusheng's family still lived in the old house.
Jiang Yu casually said: "After the flood, there are still old houses that have not been destroyed?"
Captain Ding explained: "Everyone helped to renovate it."
"Is that so."
"Qiusheng, someone is here, are you home?"
Captain Ding knocked on the door outside, but didn't hear anything inside, and his eyes darkened.
"Qiusheng!"
After a while, a man came out of the small house next to him, cursing.
"What are you yelling about!"
"Comrade Jiang, this is Wang Qiu Sheng."
Jiang Yu looked at the newcomer, "Is this Comrade Xiang Yang's cousin?"
Wang Qiu Sheng was stunned and looked at Captain Ding.
"Who are they?"
Captain Ding introduced with a smile: "They are from North City. They said they live in the same compound as your cousin's nephew and came to visit you."
Wang Qiu Sheng sneered, "How can you visit someone with empty hands?"
Jiang Yu looked apologetic, "I came in a hurry and didn't have time to bring anything. I heard Comrade Xiang Yang say that your family lives together. I don't know if his aunt is here. He also asked me to say hello to the old lady."
Wang Qiu Sheng waved his hands impatiently, "My mother died a long time ago, and I am the only one at home."
Jiang Yu's heart sank, and he could initially determine that Lin Hongxia was lying.
She suddenly felt a little confused. Could Jiang Ting really be here?
"Is there no one else at home?"
Captain Ding took the initiative to speak: "Qiu Sheng's father and wife were both killed in the flood."
"I see, I'm so sorry, we won't bother you then."
Captain Ding asked: "Do you know the way back?"
"Yes."
"Then I won't see you off, I still have something to say to Gui Sheng, you go ahead."
Jiang Yu agreed: "Okay, thank you, Captain Ding."
"No problem."
Captain Ding frowned after making sure their figures were far away.
"Didn't I tell you, don't go down to see her every day except to deliver meals!"
Wang Qiu Sheng muttered: "She's my wife, why can't I see her?"
"You should be more restrained these days, wait until those people leave before we talk."
Captain Ding had a hunch that these people who came were not easy to mess with.
It would be better to be more obedient and not let them notice something was wrong.
Wang Qiu Sheng thought of Jiang Yu's pretty face. He had never seen such a beautiful woman.
"Brother Ding, that woman is so beautiful. Let's keep her here, shall we?"
Captain Ding shouted angrily, "Shut up and don't think about her. Do you hear me?"
Wang Qiu Sheng's urge to do something was extinguished.
He hung his head, "I know."
Captain Ding frowned, "I'll talk to your brother. Behave yourself."
He left Wang Qiu Sheng's place and hurried back to Wang Guisheng's house.
"Didn't you say that someone had asked you about the whereabouts of that girl before?"
Wang Guisheng was stunned and raised his head in panic.
"Does it have anything to do with them?"
Captain Ding shook his head. "I'm not sure, but you keep an eye on that girl and Qiu Sheng these days. Anyway, they will leave in two days."
"Okay."
Captain Ding patted his shoulder and comforted him, "I told Qiu Sheng that he will give him his wife, but if the baby in her belly is a son, I will bring it to you."
When Wang Guisheng mentioned the son, his eyes lit up a little, but soon dimmed again.
"But what if it's a lady?"
Captain Ding's face faded. "That's the old rule. There's no point keeping a lady."
On the other side, Jiang Yu and He Tingyue returned to Tongle Village.
Ding Jianan asked with concern, "Did you find anyone?"
Jiang Yu shook her head. "No."
But the more she came into contact with the locals, the more she felt there was a problem.
She believed in her intuition that the nearby villages were not normal
