Xia Meng walked outside and just as she opened the door, she felt a biting cold wind.

The howling north wind was blowing, raging like the howling of ghosts and wolves.

Xia Meng got in the car and said to Sun Xiangqian,

"Let's go back."

Sun Xiangqian saw that Xia Meng didn't seem to be in a good mood, so he asked with concern,

"Governor Xia, don't they agree?"

Xia Meng nodded, "Yes, no one is willing to take a step back, for fear of being at a disadvantage."

Zhang Xiangqian: "They are just short-sighted."

Xia Meng sighed softly, "Businessmen! They value short-term interests more."

Zhang Xiangqian's tone was filled with indignation.

"They don't even think about what benefits they can get if Tangzhou becomes chaotic at this time?"

Zhang Xiangqian sent Xia Meng back to her tent.

Xia Meng let him go home.

It's not safe recently, Xia Meng told Zhang Xiangqian,

"come home early."

Zhang Xiangqian gave Xia Meng a bright smile, "Okay!"

Zhang Xiangqian has a wife and children, and the perverted murderer has not been caught yet, so he also wants to go home early to be with his wife and children.

Xia Meng returned to the tent and felt a little hungry, so she took out an alcohol pot from the space and planned to eat something.

Before the natural disaster, Xia Meng had stored a lot of food in her space, and later she stored more. She couldn't finish eating all the food in several lifetimes.

When the weather gets cold, it's a good time to drink mutton soup.

There was a mutton soup restaurant that had been open for decades. The mutton soup tasted very delicious and mellow, so Xia Meng bought a lot of it.

In addition to delicious mutton soup, that shop also sells lamb spine, stewed noodles, and other things.

Xia Meng took out three boxes of packaged lamb ribs. Because time was still in the space, the lamb ribs were still steaming when they were taken out. Xia Meng opened the box of lamb ribs and put them in the alcohol pot.

The alcohol pot was large and burned slowly, and soon it began to bubble.

Xia Meng finished three boxes of lamb ribs, and drank two large bowls of lamb soup and a large bowl of stewed noodles with two spoonfuls of spicy lamb. It was the most delicious.

After eating and drinking, Xia Meng didn't worry about gaining weight. After a simple wash, she lay down on the bed to sleep.

Xia Meng's tent was in the safe zone. There were several cadres living around it, and the rest were ordinary people scattered around.

After Xia Meng fell asleep, she suddenly seemed to sense danger. In the darkness, she suddenly opened her eyes, but did not get up immediately. Instead, she listened carefully to the tiny sounds around her.

Xia Meng closed her eyes and listened. There was the sound of the whistling wind outside. In addition to the whistling wind, there was also...

Light footsteps.

There was someone walking outside, and the person was walking very cautiously, as if he had been discovered.

what's the situation?

Xia Meng continued to listen calmly, and then she was surprised to find that the footsteps were getting closer and closer to her tent...

Finally, the light footsteps, which were almost impossible for ordinary people to hear, stopped in front of Xia Meng's tent.

Xia Meng lay on the bed with no intention of moving. She narrowed her eyes and carefully observed the movements at the door.

Soon, a small 'muffled' sound was heard in the cold and silent night.

Others might not be able to see it clearly, but Xia Meng saw it clearly. It was a sharp dagger. The dagger pierced through the tent and then silently cut a huge hole.

Soon, a dark figure came in from the gap in the torn tent.

Judging from the appearance, this should be a woman!

woman?

Xia Meng was surprised?

Xia Meng still lay on the bed without moving, wanting to see what this woman wanted to do?

When the woman came in, she was hunched over, her eyes looking around nervously, her feet standing still, listening carefully to the sounds around her. Only after she was sure that no one had discovered her did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, after her eyes identified for a moment in the darkness, she approached Xia Meng who was standing beside the bed step by step with a dagger in her hand.

Xia Meng didn't move until the cold blade approached her white neck. When she was sure that the woman really wanted to kill her, she suddenly reached out and grabbed the woman's wrist.

After the woman's wrist was grabbed, she subconsciously screamed "Ah...", but soon the sound stopped.

The woman was like a duck with its neck strangled, and the rest of her voice was swallowed into her stomach.

The moment Xia Meng grabbed the woman's wrist, she increased her strength. The woman felt pain and the dagger fell to the ground with a clang.

Then, when the woman struggled and resisted, Xia Meng reached out easily, grabbed the woman's neck firmly with one hand, turned over and pressed the woman down on the bed.

The woman was held down firmly by Xia Meng. She struggled desperately with her limbs, but could not break free.

"Hmm..."

The woman struggled continuously, staring at Xia Meng in the darkness. There was no trace of weakness in her eyes, only ferocity and stubbornness.

Xia Meng tied the woman's hands tightly and then turned on the light.

The bright light instantly dispelled the darkness of the night and illuminated the entire tent.

The woman had been staring at Xia Meng with her eyes wide open, but because the light suddenly became brighter, her eyes were exposed to the strong light and she subconsciously closed her eyes.

Under the bright light, the woman in black looked a little thin.

The woman was wearing slightly thin cotton trousers on her lower body. Because it was too cold outside, many people wore two pieces of clothing, a slightly thin cotton coat inside and a pair of thick cotton trousers outside. But this woman, perhaps for the sake of convenience in movement, temporarily took off her outer cotton trousers and wore only one piece.

The woman was wearing a mid-length black down jacket on her upper body. The jacket was not thick, so her lips looked a little pale. Her hair was slightly long, but looked very greasy, and she also had a greasy smell as if she had not taken a shower for a long time.

After adapting to the strong light, the woman opened her eyes little by little.

The woman's eyes were bright, but there were red bloodshot in the whites of her eyes, her cheeks were very sunken, her clothes were a little dirty and smelled, it was obvious that she was not having a good life.

"Who are you?" Xia Meng asked, staring straight at the woman, "Why are you here to kill me?"

"I seem to..." Xia Meng carefully observed the woman's face, and kept thinking about it, but she couldn't remember this face.

"I don't think I've ever seen you before, so I don't think I have any conflicts with you."

The woman just stared at Xia Meng fiercely without saying a word.

Xia Meng saw that the woman didn't say anything, so he said,

"You don't want to talk, right? Fine, then I'll have no choice but to hand you over to the police."

As Xia Meng spoke, she picked up her cell phone and prepared to call the police.

Seeing this, the woman's eyes showed a trace of struggle, and finally she seemed to give up and said,

"I'll tell you the truth, can you give me money?"

Xia Meng was so angry that she laughed when she heard the woman's words.

Xia Meng laughed, then looked at the woman with a half-smile.

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I'll hand you over to the police and you'll eventually speak up."

"Besides, you want to kill me and you want me to give you money. Don't you think too highly of yourself?"

Xia Meng's ridicule seemed to irritate the woman, and she glared at Xia Meng even more fiercely.

"You still dare to stare at me?"

As Xia Meng spoke, he punched the woman. Xia Meng's punch was very fast, creating a gust of wind that ruffled the woman's hair on her forehead. The woman almost subconsciously closed her eyes.

Xia Meng's fist stopped about one centimeter away from the woman's forehead.

The expected pain did not come. The woman reacted quickly, then slowly opened her eyes and saw a white and tender fist in front of her.

Seeing the woman open her eyes, Xia Meng retracted her hand, looked at the woman and said,

"I'm scaring you!"

The woman immediately became annoyed, "What do you want to do?"

Xia Meng called the police, then crossed her arms and looked at the woman.

"What can I do? You have to understand that this is my tent. You took a knife and destroyed my tent. You put the knife to my neck and wanted to kill me. You actually asked me what I wanted?"

The woman argued, "I just... just wanted to steal something. I didn't mean to kill you. Don't slander me."

Xia Meng sneered, "You put the sharp blade against my neck, is it to steal something?"

The woman stared at Xia Meng fearlessly.

"I never put a knife to your neck, so don't slander me."

"Don't admit it?" Xia Meng, "Do you think that if you don't admit it, your punishment will be reduced?"

"Do you know what period it is now? Don't you know how chaotic the public security is and how high the crime rate is?"

"I believe you know that severe punishments are necessary in troubled times. Even if you just stole something, you will still be severely punished."

"Of course, if you turn yourself in and take the initiative to give out useful clues about your accomplices or something, perhaps your punishment can be reduced."

When the woman heard Xia Meng's words, her eyes became thoughtful. She was actually thinking about this possibility.

So...

Xia Meng felt that the woman might really have an accomplice, or someone might be behind her...???

Xia Meng was not sure, so while waiting for the police to come, Xia Meng decided to ask.

Xia Meng saw the woman with her head down. Plus it was cold. It was early morning and the freezing cold outside was enough to freeze anyone into a fool.

So, Xia Meng took out an alcohol pot from the cabinet next to her, or actually from the space, and prepared to make herself a glass of milk.

It's the middle of the night now, and Xia Meng doesn't dare to make tea, otherwise she won't be able to sleep.

She was still thinking that after the police came and took the woman away, she would continue sleeping.

Xia Meng poured the milk into the alcohol pot, and then looked at the alcohol pot...

Seeing this scene, the woman suddenly became excited.

"Is this... milk? How did you get the milk?"

After the earthquake, everything was in ruins. Although the farm did not suffer too much damage, it would still take some time to recover to its normal state.

In addition, many cows were frightened and some were crushed to death, so the milk produced in the farm during this period was much less than before.

Since the milk produced cannot be transported out for the time being, it is first transported to a nearby factory and stored.

But some milk is also shipped out, which is a special food for children under two years old.

Many babies several years old rely on this to survive.

Fortunately...the birth rate is now touching and not many people dare to have children. Although there is little milk, it can still be supplied.

Xia Meng heard the woman's question, but ignored her.

Seeing that Xia Meng ignored her, the woman immediately asked again in dissatisfaction,

“Is this milk?”

Xia Meng nodded, "Yes, yes!"

The woman immediately sneered and mocked,

"It's good to be an official! At times like this, I can even drink milk!"

Xia Meng turned her head and glanced at the woman, and explained without getting angry,

"I bought this myself and stored it away."

The woman snorted coldly, "Only a fool would believe that!"

Xia Meng stared at the woman for a while, then said in a firm tone,
