Zhuo Ma looked down and out. Its clothes were old and tattered, and it looked dispirited.
"Uncle Zhuo Ma!"
Ma Yingxiu who came out from behind the 'young man' widened her eyes and burst into tears. She threw herself into Zhuo Ma's arms.
Zhuo Ma's eyes regained some liveliness when it saw Ma Yingxiu. It was no longer lifeless.
It touched Ma Yingxiu's head and choked, "Ma Yingxiu …"
The 'young man' could tell that Zhuo Ma had many injuries. When Ma Yingxiu was in his arms, the unnatural movements caused by the pain were very obvious.
This made the 'young man' slightly angry, but he didn't know who he should be angry at.
"Where's Ran Ran?" Zhuo Ma carried Ma Yingxiu and looked at the shack behind.
The 'young man' didn't know how to answer him. Ma Yingxiu cried and said, "Sister signed the contract to be someone else's substitute. She can't come back now."
Zhuo Ma looked at the 'young man' and he could only say, "We couldn't find anyone who was willing to hire us. We starved for a few days and had no choice … I'm useless and I lost my job now. If you didn't come back, I don't know what to do."
Ma Yingxiu told Uncle Zhuo Ma what happened before and after.
Zhuo Ma touched Ma Yingxiu's head and said to the 'young man', "Cesbia, thank you. If it wasn't for you, Ma Yingxiu and Ran Ran … This is all my fault. I brought you to the Sacred City to enjoy life, but I didn't expect you to encounter such a huge disaster."
The 'young man' quickly waved his hand and said, "It's all my fault. Otherwise, Ran Ran wouldn't have to sign the contract in exchange for money."
Zhuo Ma shook its head and said, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have trusted that evil woman. Cesbia, I want to ask you for a favor."
The 'young man' said, "Go ahead."
Zhuo Ma sighed and said, "In order to escape, all my money was taken away by them. Now, I'm a pauper. I can't even redeem Ran Ran's contract, let alone send Lao Ai and Xi Xiu to school. Now, I only have a sliver of hope if you join the army."
The 'young man' became silent. He heard the conversation between Zhuo Ma and Niyue on the four-wheeled car out of the grassland. Although he didn't understand it, he still felt a little disgusted.
Zhuo Ma saw that he didn't speak and said sadly, "It's fine if you don't want to. I was too selfish and didn't consider your feelings. I won't mention it in the future."
The 'young man' frowned and said, "Why do we have to stay here? Since we don't have money, we can still go back to the prairie. Isn't that great? I don't want to go to the army, not only because of what you said, but also because of myself. "
Hu Jinxiu also said at this time, "Yes, Uncle Zhuoma, I don't want to stay here anymore. I miss my parents and I miss the prairie. Let's go back!"
Zhuo Ma forced a smile and said, "How? Only the three of us? There were four of us when we came out, but now we're missing one. How am I going to explain this to your parents? "
The 'youngster' nodded and said, "We definitely can't leave Ran Ran here alone. We have to think of a way to bring her away. Uncle Zhuo Ma, I don't have the ability, but you do. Let's see if we can earn a large sum of money in a short period of time to redeem Lao Ai."
Zhuo Ma shook its head helplessly. "Things are different now. All kinds of resources are under control, and it's hard to buy or sell them. Even if we do normal things, we won't be able to raise enough money to redeem Ran Ran in a short period of time."
The 'youngster' thought about it and said, "If we really can't do it, I can snatch her back? It's just that Ran Ran doesn't seem to want to go back. We didn't talk about it the last time. "
Zhuo Ma said in surprise, "She doesn't want to go back? Why? "
The 'youngster' shook his head and said, "I don't know. Maybe she likes this city. Anyway, Hu Jinxiu and I don't like it."
Zhuo Ma sighed softly and said, "She's really a little like me. Just one look and she can't go back."
The 'youngster' knew that Zhuo Ma was talking about his own feelings when he walked out of the prairie. He said, "The prairie is big, but this city is bigger to me. It makes me feel uneasy."
Hu Jinxiu interrupted and said, "Yeah, the Sacred City is too big. Uncle Zhuo Ma, how did you find us?"
Zhuo Ma touched his head and said, "It's too big for you guys, but it's not big for me. I've lived here for too long. I followed the direction you guys left in and asked around. Thanks to Cesbia's hard work in finding a job, many people in this area have an impression of him."
Perhaps if it was Ran Ran, those people might not remember her, but the 'youngster' left a different impression because he was very 'fierce'.
"Where should we go now?"
The 'youngster' thought about it. Since Zhuo Ma was back, and he was completely unfamiliar with this city and had just lost his job, he felt that it was better for Zhuo Ma to make the decision.
"Let's go to that university and find Ran Ran first. At least let her know that I'm out. Then, we'll think of a way." Zhuo Ma seemed to have a backup plan. "I still have a few old friends. Although I can't borrow money in the current situation, it shouldn't be a problem to borrow a place to stay."
It would be great if they could change places. Staying in a shack under the bridge was even worse than the prairie.
On the way, Zhuo Ma asked, "That evil woman didn't send anyone to look for you guys?"
Logically, if it could find them based on the appearance of the 'youngster', Ni Yue should be able to as well. Why didn't she send anyone to look for them?
After getting a negative answer from the 'youngster', Zhuo Ma understood. This evil woman really doesn't care about your lives. Back then, I was worried that she would take you guys away for something after I told her about Cesbia. It seems like she didn't take it to heart, or maybe she thought I was lying. That's good, or else we'll be in big trouble.
The 'youngster' and Hu Jinxiu both had some money, but they couldn't bear to spend it. They refused to take a taxi and walked all the way to St. Prentice University.
After entering the university, the 'youngster' could see the huge gap between him and Zhuo Ma. Not long after, they found the place where Ran Ran's daughter was based on the name of the main family.
Classes were probably still going on inside, so the three of them waited downstairs.
They waited until noon, but Ran Ran still hadn't come down. Zhuo Ma wanted to go up and take a look, but a low-key four-wheeled car drove over.
A woman got out of the car, and Zhuo Ma's eyes instantly turned red.
"You evil woman, what are you doing here? Do you think you haven't hurt me enough, or are you here to see how pitiful I am now? "Zhuo Ma clenched its fists tightly and said angrily.
Ni Yue had lost a lot of weight. She looked at the 'youngster' and Hu Jinxiu, but her eyes finally fell on Zhuo Ma. "I know you hate me, but I really didn't expect them to …"
Zhuo Ma sneered, "You don't have to explain, you've already admitted it. Yes, I won't have the ability to get my property back, and I won't shout like those weak people that I'll get it back one day. Just take it. I don't want to see you again. You make me sick, and I feel like I'm an idiot."
Ni Yue's eyes turned slightly red, and she said, "I know I've wronged you. I've actually been telling you, why must you send Hu Jinxiu to those schools? Why can't she stay in the prairie? I never cared about what you think, I … "
Zhuo Ma was so angry that it laughed instead. "Ni Yue, Ni Yue, who are you putting on this act now? Don't you feel disgusted at all? I've told them countless times that I don't have any other hidden property, and I've given them all to you. What else do you want? You let me out on purpose, and see if I'll take out the hidden property in your imagination? Then you're sent here to put on a bitter show, and what information do you want? Enough, you really make me sick. Get out! I don't want to see you again! "
Ni Yue looked deeply at its contemptuous eyes, and her lips moved. Then she took a deep breath and said, "Zhuo Ma, I don't have much time. They're watching me all the time."
Then she tried to get close to Zhuo Ma and give it a card hidden in her hand. But before she could touch Zhuo Ma's hand, Zhuo Ma flung it away forcefully, and moved aside with extreme disgust, as if it had touched something extremely disgusting.
Her body trembled slightly, and she was stunned. She bit her lips and almost begged, "Zhuo Ma, this is my own money. Take them back quickly, you can't beat them."
Zhuo Ma said coldly, "Stop acting. I won't be fooled by you again. Go back and tell them, and beg them to let me go too!"
Ni Yue's hand trembled slightly, but she didn't dare to get close to it again. She only whispered, "Zhuo Ma …"
Zhuo Ma didn't look at her again, and said with disgust, "Get out! Get out, get out! Get out! "
Ni Yue's body trembled obviously, and she looked at Zhuo Ma almost pleadingly.
Zhuo Ma ignored her and went straight upstairs. Ni Yue seemed to be afraid to chase after it, and wanted to put the card in Hu Jinxiu's hand.
Hu Jinxiu didn't dare to take it, and hurriedly put her hands behind her back.
Ni Yue had to put the card in the "young man"'s hand again. Hu Jinxiu thought that he wouldn't take it, but unexpectedly, the "young man" suddenly asked, "Is there money in it?"
Ni Yue nodded absentmindedly.
"Okay, then I'll take it. You owe Uncle Zhuo Ma!" The "young man" took the card and was about to put it in his pocket.
At this moment, Zhuo Ma suddenly rushed out of the building again, and came to the "young man"'s side. It took out the card and threw it at Ni Yue. It looked at her coldly, and pulled Hu Jinxiu with one hand, and the "young man" with the other. Without saying a word, it went into the building.
Only Ni Yue was left outside, all alone.
"Why not?"
"What kind of good intentions would a sinister and evil woman like her have? Cespia, don't be fooled by her again. "
…
They didn't get to see Ran Ran in the afternoon, and the master didn't agree to wait until the evening.
In order to avoid Ni Yue outside, they decided to stay in the building and didn't go out until the evening.
The street lights outside lit up, and Ni Yue was no longer there. The three of them stood at the side, looking at the crowd of men and women who kept coming out of the building.
As they were waiting, a girl walked out of the crowd, and when she saw the "young man" at the side, she smiled and said, "Why is it you again? Are you here to freeload again? "
The "young man" looked at her, but he couldn't remember who she was, and so he ignored her, preoccupied with his own thoughts.
Seeing that he wasn't talking, the girl waved her hand and said, "My name is Heather. Mr. Mu Lian said that if you have any questions, you can look for him. Don't worry, you're not a student of this school."
The "young man" continued to ignore her, staring at the exit of the building. He had already seen Ran Ran walking out of the stairs with the master's daughter.
Zhuo Ma was about to go up, but at this moment, a white shadow flashed across the sky, and then there was a loud thud, as if something heavy had landed on the ground.
The crowd at the exit of the building was shocked, and before they could react, they heard a girl's ear-piercing scream.
The next moment, the crowd was in chaos.
"Pervert!"
"Monster!"
Someone shouted and ran in panic.
The "young man" immediately shielded Hu Jinxiu behind him, and then looked at Ran Ran's position. Seeing that she was standing there safely, he then shifted his gaze to the "monster" that fell from the sky.
It was a huge monster in the shape of a human. Its skin was so pale that it made people feel disgusted, and its eyes were so white that it made people feel disgusted. It wasn't wearing any clothes, and it was about the height of one or two people. Its arms were muscular, and its fingers were as sharp as claws.
At this moment, it was carrying a girl under its armpit. It should have already left, but when it saw the "young man", it seemed a little nervous. It growled softly, and the muscles on its body bulged.

I can't take it anymore. I'm too tired. I'll continue tomorrow.
