Once you travel through time and space, you will become cannon fodder and bravel

Chapter 191: Death in Substitution 02]

Since the establishment of Nuhu Village, they have accepted any women who come to seek refuge, but they must abide by the only village rule: not get married, not have any relationship with men, and be self-respecting and independent.

There are several girls in the village who have graduated from high school and work as regular employees in factories. During their breaks, they come back to teach illiterate villagers how to read.

Ruan Hongmei was five years old when she was picked up. She knew her name, so the villagers did not change her name. She also learned to read and later worked as a temporary worker in a winery.

She is pretty, sweet-spoken and very likable.

“There should be snow in this house.”

After Jiang Shi swallowed the egg in his mouth, he looked at the blackened burnt house not far away, his eyes flashing.

"In the afternoon, Hongmei told me that she was worried that it would snow heavily at night and the roof of our house might not be able to bear the weight, so we cleared the snow together."

Wu Yan lowered her eyes while eating eggs: "If she hadn't said she wanted to sweep the snow, the fire wouldn't have burned so badly."

Jiang Shi knew that although she looked gentle on the outside, she was definitely not calm on the inside. It was pitch black outside the village, and it was not safe even with a flashlight. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Is there a telephone in your village?"

"Yes, the old secretary helped fight the Japanese before. We registered with the government after the founding of New China. We are just in a remote area, but we will not be arrogant or ignore the policies."

Wu Yan took her to a house in the village, which looked much bigger than the others. After opening it, she walked to the door, clicked it, and pulled a string hanging by the door, and the light came on.

There was only a wooden table in the room, with a radio and a telephone on it.

“We all listen to the news here after dinner.”

Jiang Shi nodded, thinking they were very nice, and pointed to the phone and said, "I'll call my partners and ask them to drive over to pick us up to find Ruan Hongmei. Otherwise, even with a flashlight, it's very dangerous to walk outside, and the snow outside isn't shoveled away like in your village."

Wu Yan knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded in agreement.

Chen Song waited for Jiang Shi to come back, but it was getting late, so he decided to stay in the bureau for the night shift. He had just poured himself a cup of tea when he heard the phone ringing.

"Hello, this is the North City Public Security Bureau."

Jiang Shi paused, and found that the person who answered the phone was Chen Song, and his voice was brisk: "Chen Song, this is Jiang Shi, I am in Nuhu Village, you have to come and pick us up."

"I'll be right there. Wait for me."

Chen Song hung up the phone, picked up the car keys and rushed there. Since she could call the police station so late at night, there must be a case. He took two steps, turned back, called Li's house, and asked Li Jichu to get up and go with him.

"They will be here soon."

Wu Yan was in a complicated mood. She kept thinking about what Jiang Shi had said before. Now the two of them were standing there. After hesitating for a long time, she finally asked, "Comrade, why did you come out of Ruan Hongmei's house? What happened to her?"
