"Let go!" Meng Xing shouted sternly.

The liar who was pulling the girl's mother's hair and the girl's mother who was holding on to the liar's clothes were stunned for a moment at the same time. They both looked at Meng Xing, not knowing who Meng Xing was calling.

But Meng Xing quickly gave the answer with his actions. He stepped forward and squeezed the man's wrist, forcing the man to let go of the hand holding the girl's mother's hair. At the same time, he picked up the man's collar and half-lifted the man up.

This liar was fierce when dealing with women and children, but when facing Meng Xing, who was a head taller than him and stronger in stature, he shrank like a quail.

He lacked confidence and choked: "What, what are you doing?"

"Why not." Meng Xing replied, and then pushed forward heavily with his arm, pushing the man down to the snow.

He pushed so unceremoniously that the man's face was distorted as he fell, and he sat on the ground and screamed in pain.

Meng Xing turned to look at the stunned woman again and asked, "How much did he cheat you?"

The girl's mother looked at Meng Xing blankly for a moment before finally remembering to answer: "All the money... all my bank cards, gold jewelry, I gave them all to him..."

"I gave it all to him..." She murmured again, like murmuring in a daze. She didn't know what she was thinking of, but she suddenly couldn't control it. She covered her face and cried loudly. Her previous bravado and fierceness were gone. She fell to the ground, crying hoarsely.

I cried with heartbreak and grief. When the girl next to her saw her, she also raised her crying face and rushed up to hug her mother.

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried in the snow, showing no signs of demeanor.

The cry rang in Meng Xing's ears, and he could hear the sadness in the cry. He wanted to say something to comfort him, but he didn't know how to say it. After hesitation, he looked back at the person he threw to the ground. Liar, you want to get your property back first.

Looking back, he discovered that when Meng Xing wasn't paying attention, the liar had quietly climbed up from the ground and was about to sneak away.

Meng Xing immediately shouted: "Stop!"

The liar was shocked all over. Naturally, he would not stand still. He pushed away the onlookers and ran away.

Meng Xing also hurriedly followed, and he was chasing after him. However, the liar was not big and ran very nimbly. Meng Xing was in a stalemate with him for a while. The distance was not widened, but it was not closed either.

The crowd watching on the spot watched them chase and run away, and gradually began to disperse. The man in a black windbreaker looked at the direction they left for a while, and after guessing the approximate route, he turned around and walked a distance away. Shorter alleys.

meng I felt that if I chased him two more streets, I would definitely be able to catch up with this liar.

However, he actually caught up with the other person and did not run for two more blocks because the liar in front of him suddenly fell to the ground with an "ouch" because his feet were slippery due to the snow.

The liar lay on the ground holding his knees. He felt as if his knees had been hit by something. He looked around and found a coin embedded in the snow next to him.

The coin was the right size and hardness, and it was probably the murder weapon that hit him. He picked up the coin and looked around, trying to find the person who threw the coin and greet his relatives and friends.

But he looked around, but before he could find the murderer, he was lifted up from the snow by Meng Xing who was chasing behind him.

"Hey, hey, you have something to say..." He knew he couldn't beat him, so in order to avoid being beaten, he started to talk nicely now.

"Where's the money you cheated from?" Meng Xing got straight to the point.

"It's all spent..." The liar hesitated.

His tone was obviously lying, and according to what the girl's mother said, the finance provided was her entire net worth, and the amount was definitely not small. How could she spend it so fast?

So Meng Xing didn't believe it. He sneered and started to search him. He took off the liar's warm coat first, then took off his sweater.

The weather was so cold, so the liar was naturally reluctant to take off his sweater and jacket, but he had no ability to resist in Meng Xing's hands. Meng Xing gave him another solid throw, and then he became honest.

In the end, Meng Xing stripped him down to his shirt and pants, and all other thick clothes for keeping warm.

As for the harvest, Meng Xing found only one bank card with an unknown balance, and other gold ornaments and jewelry were missing. The other party must have other places to hide property. Meng Xing kicked the liar who was curled up on the ground: "Are you going to tell me? If you don't tell me, I will wait here with you."

The liar's teeth were chattering due to the cold. Meng Xing had nothing to do anyway, it didn't matter if he spent the whole afternoon, but the liar couldn't stand it anymore. He finally compromised under the low temperature: "I, I hid him at home..."

It would be hard to tell if he was frozen. Meng Xing then asked him to put his clothes back on, then pressed the liar's shoulders and asked him to lead the way.

The liar gave up and was very honest this time, because he knew he couldn't run away. His leg was injured, not to mention running away, and now he can only walk with a limp.

I don’t know who hit him with the coin. The aim was so accurate and the force was so fierce. It directly swollen his knee. It is still in pain and it is difficult to walk.

The liar cursed his mother in his heart, why was he so unlucky today and met two evil spirits. But his body led him obediently, and he took Meng Xing to his shabby home.

In fact, it is an older residential building. The building looks a little older. The tatters are purely caused by his own laziness. Disposable lunch boxes and drink boxes are piled on the floor, and he doesn't know how to throw away the leftover food. If it hadn't been now The temperature is so low that this place may become a fly nest.

Meng Xing was really shocked by such a sloppy environment. He was not a germophobe, but he couldn't stand such a messy environment. However, he was afraid that the scammer would try his signature trick again, so he endured his nausea and followed in.

He watched the con man dig out the property he had obtained from under the bed. Meng Xing saw the suitcase from three days ago. He asked the con man to open the suitcase in front of him. It contained several wads of cash and four or five pieces of gold. jewelry.

Meng Xing picked up the box again and weighed it. He felt that the girl's mother should not have given it to him three days ago. He immediately said with a straight face: "Are you kidding me? Where are the others?"

"It's really gone!" The liar was so frightened that he huddled on the ground reflexively, fearing that Meng Xing would throw him again. At the same time, he tremblingly explained: "I, I spent a lot..."

"Where have the flowers gone?" Meng Xing asked reluctantly.

"I bought some wine..." The liar pointed to a few boxes of wine piled in the corner. Meng Xing looked over and saw that it was the best-selling ice-blue wine called "Drunk Life, Dreams and Death".

"I also bought some coal..." The liar pointed to another corner, where coal and a brazier for making fires were all available.

"There are also reserves of food and drinking water..." The scammer listed his purchase list one by one.

Meng Xing also looked at them one by one to confirm that what he said was true.

These things were not expensive luxuries, and the unit price was not expensive. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have spent so much money, but he bought so many, so much that Meng Xing suspected that the other party wouldn't be able to eat them all even if they went bad.

"Why did you buy so many things?" he couldn't help but ask.

"I was thinking...to stock up on more things so that I can live a little longer after the apocalypse..." the liar explained in a low voice.

Meng Xing was stunned. He suddenly didn't know what to say.

In such a disaster, it is hateful to deceive weaker people of their property, but the reason for deception, in the final analysis, is just to survive.

But in fact, he may not be able to survive for a few more hours after hoarding so many things. On August 8, the sun will rise for the last time. After it disappears for the last time, a low-temperature cold wave will sweep across the earth. Except for the artificial sun in Noah's city, nothing can withstand such severe cold. The flames solidify in the low temperature, and life disappears in the wind and snow.

That's why tickets to Noah's City are so precious, they are the only hope of living. All other efforts are ultimately in vain.

Meng Xing knew this, but he did not directly challenge the opponent's illusion of survival. He only looked at the materials piled in the corners of the room and said: "This is not your money, and the things I bought are not yours. Follow me. Go back and see what the owner does with you."

As soon as he heard that he was going back and thought of the crazy look on the woman's face when she tore him apart, the liar began to be reluctant again, but with a little scare from Meng Xing, he became cowardly and honest.

The two of them returned to the place where they started. Meng Xing held down the liar with one hand and held the safe with not much belongings left in the other.

When he came back here, the girl's mother also calmed down. She stopped crying. She just held her daughter and sat on the steps of the road. Her eyes were empty, as if she was looking ahead, but if she looked carefully, there was nothing in her eyes. No. It's like a pool of stagnant water that can't make any more waves.

Meng Xing handed the safe back to her, asked her to count her belongings, and offered to help her move the supplies back.

But the girl's mother didn't respond. After a long while, she raised her head as if waking up from a dream, looked at Meng Xing, and then looked at the safe that was handed to her.

She had no joy in finding the lost thing, but said lightly: "No need..."

"No need..." she repeated again. She lowered her head and buried it on her daughter's shoulder: "There is no ticket, what's the use of asking for money..."

The five or six-year-old girl didn't understand what her mother was talking about. She didn't understand the money or the tickets. She just said innocently: "Mom has me!"

Her original intention was to comfort her mother, but the girl's mother was even more sad when she heard this. She started crying again, with tears falling from her eyes. She looked at her ignorant daughter and held her daughter in her arms. She didn't know who she was talking about. Screaming: "Just one ticket, just one ticket, let my daughter live, let her live..."

She was crying and shouting, and the grief in her shouts was heartbreaking. Meng Xing felt a little sad when he heard this, but there was nothing he could do. It is a lie that you can buy tickets with money. The tickets are randomly selected and no one is exempt. This is just a scam designed by a scammer who takes advantage of a mother's desire to keep her daughter alive.

But I don’t know if he was moved by the despair in the cry or if his conscience discovered it, the liar actually took the initiative to say one thing: "I didn’t lie to you. Tickets can indeed be bought with money. I lied to you, but If you look for other ways, you might be able to get it."

Meng Xing glared at the liar, because he felt that the liar was still lying, and the president was no exception. Who could cheat in the drawing of tickets?

The liar saw his disbelief and retorted sternly: "What I said is true! I know a person who did not have a ticket a few days ago, but yesterday, he suddenly had a ticket because his father is a senior government official and helps He did it."

What he said sounded very similar, but because he had too many criminal records, neither Meng Xing nor the girl's mother believed what he said.

After crying for a while, probably after venting her anger, the girl's mother's crying slowly stopped. Meng Xing fumbled in his pocket for a while, and finally dug out a pack of tissues. He took out the tissue and handed it to the girl's mother. The girl's mother took the tissue and wiped her makeup from crying and the tears on her eyes.

She has always loved beauty, and crying without manners on the street was something she thought she would never be able to do. But not only did she do it today, she cried for most of the day.

After crying, her rationality finally returned. She thanked Meng Xing and wanted to give some of her money as a thank you gift, but Meng Xing waved her hand and refused.

She couldn't refuse, so she had to say thank you again.

Meng Xing once again mentioned the idea of ​​​​helping her move the supplies back to make up for the loss. He tilted his head and prepared to ask the liar to help move it together. After all, the other party was responsible for all this.

But when he turned his head, he suddenly realized that the liar was gone. Probably when he was using a tissue to wipe the girl's mother's face, he ran away secretly.

Meng Xing raised his eyebrows, turned around and comforted the girl's mother: "Don't worry, I know where he lives, and I'll stop him right away!"

As he said that, he wanted to chase after him. But the girl’s mother stopped him: “No need.”

Although she no longer cried, the sadness and despair on her face had not diminished. It just changed from hysteria to stagnant calm: "Don't bother...just give him the money..."

She finally thanked Meng Xing, asked her daughter to say "Goodbye, brother" in a childish voice, then held her daughter's hand and walked away slowly.

Meng Xing stopped and watched the mother and daughter leave. Suddenly, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. It wasn't severe pain, but it was dull and uncomfortable.

He stood for a long time, finally sighed, turned and left.

It was evening again and he had to go back to pick up Wen Rulan from get off work.

Wen Rulan was still working overtime today. Around 8:30, he came to the lobby on the first floor of the institute.

He seemed to be in a good mood. He wondered if the research was progressing smoothly. Meng Xing did not ask further questions. After all, these were confidential.

As usual, he and Wen Rulan drove the snowmobile back home.

Wen Rulan raised the corners of her lips all the way, and she couldn't hide her happy mood. Meng Xing rarely saw such a performance. Finally, when she returned home, Meng Xing couldn't help being curious and asked: "You guys Has debugging been completed?”

Meng Xing shook his head in denial, then pretended to be mysterious and said: "It's not about work, it's about you."

"What's wrong with me?" Meng Xing was confused.

Wen Rulan looked at the time and saw that it was almost there, so she prompted, "Turn on your phone and take a look."

Meng Xing didn't know why, but he still obediently opened his phone and took a look. The phone still has the default background, nothing unusual, and there are no red dot reminders indicating new messages or new calls.

Meng Xing became more and more confused, but suddenly, with a "ding dong" sound, a new text message was received on his phone.

Is this what Wen Rulan wants to show him? Meng Xing opened the text message with doubts.

He saw the frame again that he had seen four days ago. This was a system for randomly drawing tickets. He had already drawn it. Logically speaking, a person only had one chance to draw, and he should never receive this text message again.

But he did receive it, and the picture frame kept flashing in front of his eyes, and finally settled into a different red color from the last time, woven with flowers and green leaves.

Number: no.045134475

Signature: Meng Xing

What the liar said before suddenly echoed in Meng Xing's ears, and Meng Xing was stunned.
