"Open the icons, let me see what's there?" Yuan Mengge said.
【OK.】
With a system notification, a floating light screen suddenly appeared in front of Yuan Mengge. It was a circular turntable with a lottery needle in the center and eleven squares around the outside.
"What? There's still a chance of getting a bye?" I saw that one of the eleven boxes had the words "Keep it up" written on it.
The remaining ten boxes each contain a description of the prize.
Yuan Mengge glanced at them and realized that these prizes were all from this era and had no future.
These were all products manufactured during that era, ranging from small items like pagers, MP3 players, Walkmans, and cameras to larger items like color TVs and computers. In addition to everyday appliances, there were other things as well.
However, these are generally quite expensive; even larger items include refrigerators, air conditioners, and cars.
Besides these appliances, Yuan Mengge saw a special item that did not belong to this era.
"Wait a minute, isn't this illegal? A stun gun?" Yuan Mengge asked the system, pointing at the object.
Yes, it can be used in special circumstances where the host's life is threatened. Please use it with caution. (Note: This weapon is not a product of this era and is not subject to the laws of this era.)
"Hmm... I see. Because it doesn't belong to this era, it's considered a legal loophole." Yuan Mengge looked at it thoughtfully.
But thinking about it is useless; she doesn't even know if she'll be able to draw it.
"Okay, let's draw then."
System: [Please listen carefully to the instructions for the lottery.]
Method 1: Voice control. After the wheel starts spinning, you can say "stop," and the wheel will stop immediately. The number the pointer lands on is the correct number.
Method 2: Manual control. You can directly click the spinning wheel with your hand. It stops when you click it. The winning result is the same as above.
Which method should the host choose?
Yuan Mengge: "Then let's use voice control."
[Giveaway begins.]
As soon as the system finished speaking, Yuan Mengge saw the light screen turntable start spinning rapidly on its own.
The spinning wheel was spinning so fast that Yuan Mengge couldn't even see the black mark on it anymore.
She suddenly shouted, "Stop!"
As soon as she spoke, the rapidly spinning turntable came to an instant stop.
The pointer is pointing to...
【make persistent efforts!】
Yuan Mengge: "..."
System: [Please keep up the good work, host!]
Yuan Mengge: "Alright, stop talking!"
System: [Host, keep leveling up! Each level up will grant you one chance to win a prize.]
Yuan Mengge complained again: "What can you do besides telling me to level up?"
The system suddenly screamed in her ear: "...I can let you participate in the lottery! Without me, you wouldn't even have a chance to participate! And you're still complaining about me?!"
Yuan Mengge's eardrums almost exploded from its voice: "...Why are you suddenly angry? Talk to me properly, why are you shouting so loudly?"
Just as she was standing by the roadside muttering to herself, Li Xue'e's voice suddenly came from beside her: "Pingping? We've been looking for you for ages, where did you go?"
Yuan Mengge looked up and saw Li Xue'e carrying large and small bags, walking towards her.
Moreover, she came alone and didn't see Yuan Dasheng.
"Why are you alone? And carrying so much stuff? Where's Yuan Dasheng?" Yuan Mengge saw that she was carrying so many things and quickly came over to help her carry some of them.
"Why do you always call your brother by his full name?" Li Xue'e asked curiously, then added, "He went to watch the excitement. I heard that someone caught a human trafficker over at the gate, and the police from the local station went there."
Yuan Mengge rolled her eyes and said, "So he just left you to go shopping alone? He doesn't care?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xue'e's expression darkened, and she remained silent, staring at the object in her hand.
Yuan Mengge sighed and asked, "Are you done buying? Is there anything else you want to buy?"
Li Xue'e looked at it and shook her head: "I'm done buying. Your brother told me to wait for him by the roadside after I finished. I just came out after I finished buying and saw you standing here..."
Yuan Mengge hung the things she bought on the handlebars of her bicycle and said, "You carry the lighter ones, give me the heavier ones, I can tie them to the back of the bicycle."
The gifts brought for the bride's family home were not many; they were just cigarettes, alcohol, gifts, candy, biscuits, and fruit.
The clothes they would wear on their return visit to their parents' home had already been bought before the wedding, so they didn't need to buy any today.
Yuan Mengge tied the cookies, candies, and fruit to the back seat of her bicycle.
The two waited for Yuan Dasheng by the roadside, and it took him a long time to drive over.
Li Xue'e asked him curiously, "Have the human traffickers been caught? What about the child?"
Yuan Dasheng replied, "They've caught them, all three. The child is fine, we got him back. I just didn't see the person who knocked down the three traffickers. I heard it was a woman who took them all down by herself."
"She took down three human traffickers all by herself? And she was a woman? That's amazing... How old is she?" After hearing this, Li Xue'e couldn't help but glance at Yuan Mengge and then asked another question.
"Hmm, it seems to be a young girl, I heard she's in her teens?" As he said this, he suddenly glanced at Yuan Mengge behind Li Xue'e and realized something.
He stared intently at Yuan Mengge: "Wait a minute, it's not you, is it? One against three...?"
He certainly wouldn't have dared to think about it if it were anyone else, but he had just been knocked down by her last night and was dizzy and disoriented, so Yuan Dasheng had a sliver of doubt in his heart.
His gaze swept over Yuan Mengge, and he asked again, "Is it you?"
Yuan Mengge didn't answer his question, but instead asked him, "Did you see it? If you didn't see it, why are you asking me?"
With that, she got on her bicycle and left.
Yuan Dasheng watched her ride away on her bicycle, then turned to Li Xue'e and asked, "Wasn't it her?"
Li Xue'e got into his car and said, "Let's go, let's go back."
Yuan Mengge rode for several dozen meters when she heard Yuan Dasheng's motorcycle approaching from behind and then passing by her.
He drives that car like a thug.
As Li Xue'e passed by Yuan Mengge, she called out to her, "Come back quickly."
Yuan Mengge: "Okay."
After riding her bike home, Yao Dongqing had already started cooking dinner in the kitchen.
As soon as Yuan Mengge returned, she heard Yuan Xiangyong say to her, "Go up the mountain to feed the chickens and ducks."
Upon hearing this, she glanced at Yuan Dasheng, who was sitting in the living room smoking, and replied, "Tell your son to go. He eats the most, so let him feed him!"
If the family slaughters a chicken, Yuan Dasheng gets two chicken legs, while the three sisters have to eat the other parts.
This is what she heard from her aunt Yuan Xiangxiang when she was a child.
During family festivals like Chinese New Year, when chickens or ducks are slaughtered, the best and biggest piece of meat is reserved for Yuan Dasheng; no one else can take it.
