C894 Robbery

The next day, after Lee Zhuohua woke up from his cultivation state, he went out alone. He wandered aimlessly around this world filled with steel beasts.

He had not yet looked at this world properly. But now, before he left, he looked at this world again, feeling that there was something else going on.

Different civilisation systems, different routes of development, although they were not like the Great Thousand Worlds, where cultivators lived on their own, the people here were able to do what only cultivators could do with their own hands.

This made Lee Zhuohua admire the people of this world.

"The potential of the Human is endless. Even if the path of cultivators here is blocked, we have still walked out of an alternative civilization." Lee Zhuohua sighed in his heart.

He walked on until he came to the riverside, where the riverbanks were manmade, unlike the Three Realms and the Great Worlds, where, though the river was not so magnificent, it was full of triumph.

At this moment, there was a girl sitting on the riverside, with her feet dangling in the air and her head lowered. It seemed that she was thinking about something.

Although Lee Zhuohua saw the girl there, he did not care, and just as Lee Zhuohua was about to turn around and leave.

"Hmm?" Lee Zhuohua found that the girl had actually jumped off the river.

Lee Zhuohua, who saw this scene, immediately disappeared from where he was standing. When he reappeared, he had already crossed dozens of meters and appeared on the other side of the river. The girl who jumped into the river was in his arms.

"I..." The girl was just about to die, but she didn't expect that she would be saved. She fell into a daze, unable to understand how Lee Zhuohua had saved her.

After letting the girl go, Lee Zhuohua frowned as he sized her up. From the tears at the corner of the girl's eyes, he could tell that the girl had been crying, and there must be a reason for her to choose to commit suicide.

"Why did you take things so hard?" Lee Zhuohua asked.

There were countless people in this world who could not think of a way out, but those had nothing to do with Lee Zhuohua, and Lee Zhuohua wouldn't care about them, but today, this girl was thinking in front of him. Since he had seen it, he wouldn't ignore her.

Because he felt that this was a kind of opportunity.

"I... Boohoo." The girl was woken up by Lee Zhuohua's words. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, all her words turned into crying, tears flowing out of her eyes.

Seeing the other party like this, Lee Zhuohua shook his head slightly.

"If you have any difficulties, just say it. If I can help, I will help you." Lee Zhuohua said somewhat helplessly.

In the end, the girl explained why she was thinking.

Her name was Tang Si Tian, and she was a student of a nearby university. However, she was not a local, but someone from a remote mountain village.

In her village, she was the hope of the villagers. Everyone hoped that she could study well and change the poverty of the village.

Tang Si Tian who had just arrived at the city also had the idea of changing the village. However, when she truly integrated into the city, she realized that many things that she had originally thought were right were wrong.

Even to her dismay, she found that she was no more than an ordinary person, incapable of changing the village, because there were so many better people here than she was, and perhaps this was the change of vision that came with coming to such a great place.

Slowly, she started to feel inferior, but she continued on her way, going to school seriously, taking part-time jobs during the holidays, thinking of sending money home when the time came.

Just after the summer break, she wanted to go home for the weekend, and take with her the money she'd earned from her part-time vacations. But when she was going to the railway station, she ran into a robber who threatened her with a knife and took all her money.

Not only did she earn her salary, but she didn't even have to leave her money when she came home. It wasn't much, only a couple thousand dollars, but it was a lot of money for Tang Siqi.

When the robber was gone, Tang SiTian fell into despair. She didn't know what to do, she was already feeling inferior, and now that she was being robbed, she felt hot-headed and wanted to die, perhaps because she was too young and didn't have a mature view of the world.

If Lee Zhuohua hadn't happened to pass by, Tang Si Tian might have really died, but it was Lee Zhuohua who saved her.

This was the symbol of hope.

After listening to Tang Si Tian's words, Lee Zhuohua was silent for a while. He did not understand how Tang Si Tian felt, because he had never encountered such a thing before, but since it was able to make a person choose to commit suicide, then this matter must be very serious.

Regarding this, Lee Zhuohua shook his head slightly.

"Don't cry, I'll treat you to a meal. As for you being robbed, it's not your fault." Lee Zhuohua wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know how to comfort this girl.

The girl only cared about crying, but her stomach still let out a disappointing cry.

It was in the afternoon now. Tang SiTian had been sitting by the river since the morning and had never eaten anything. Firstly, she didn't have the mood to eat anything. Secondly, she didn't have the money to eat, so naturally, she was hungry now.

Hearing the sound of the other party's stomach, Lee Zhuohua smiled helplessly.

After that, Lee Zhuohua brought Tang Si Tian to eat. They arrived at a small restaurant along the way.

Lee Zhuohua did not have much money on him. The few hundred yuan in his pocket was given to him by Wang Tianye, so he found a small place.

Lee Zhuohua called for two servings of fried noodles. The owner of the store was a burly man, but when he saw Lee Zhuohua and Tang Si Tian's expressions, he thought they were a student couple nearby.

However, he was very curious as to why this girl looked as if she had cried and felt wronged.

He thought that Lee Zhuohua had bullied Tang Si Tian, so he couldn't help but roll his eyes at Lee Zhuohua.

Lee Zhuohua was speechless when someone rolled his eyes at him, but he didn't want to argue with him.

Very quickly, two piping hot servings of fried noodles were served. Tang Si Tian was really hungry. Seeing that the food was right in front of her, she could no longer restrain herself and started wolfing it down.

Lee Zhuohua felt his heart ache when he saw the state of a girl. He was afraid that the other party would not be able to eat enough, so he decided to push the plate of fried noodles in front of him.

As for Tang Si Tian, she was only focused on eating the fried noodles and didn't even raise her head.

"Slow down, don't choke." Lee Zhuohua said as he brought a bottle of water to Tang Si Tian.

At this moment, three to five young men came to the table next to Lee Zhuohua and the others. These young men were all jobless young men from the vicinity, none of them were good people.

Because the things in this shop were cheap, they didn't have much money to begin with, so they liked to come here.

Sometimes, the female student union nearby would come here for a meal. They had done quite a lot of flirting with female students.

As soon as they sat down, they saw Lee Zhuohua and Tang Si Tian. One of the boys with yellow hair squinted his eyes as he looked at Tang Si Tian, who was eating her fried noodles with her head lowered. The corner of his mouth curled into a vulgar smile.

He turned his body and whispered something into his companion's ear, causing these people to look in Lee Zhuohua's direction. Their eyes were filled with ridicule.
