The road to Taohua Village is all mountain paths, very narrow and steep.
The bus is also very shabby.
Because the bus is extremely shabby, there's no air conditioning, and with so many people, everyone feels hot, Li Chuan feels like he's entered a sauna.
"This weather is so hot."
Although Li Chuan has Lingxi True Qi, and isn't afraid of cold or heat, it seems all the people on the bus are going to town for the market, so the bus is very crowded, filled with waves of sweaty smells, making his mood not so pleasant anymore.
No wonder no one wants to come here, this place is even more remote than Ping'an Town where he grew up.
Taohua Village can be said to be the poorest village in Jiangzhou, surrounded by mountains on all sides, only accessible via mountain roads, truly isolated from the world!
However, Li Chuan doesn't mind, Ping'an Town is also a town nestled at the foot of the mountain, and he feels a sense of familiarity with mountain villages and great mountains.
"Thud thud!"
It seems the bus hit a big rock on the roadside, causing the vehicle to start jolting violently.
Then the people in the carriage, unable to stand firm, started swaying all over.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a pair of soft, very elastic objects suddenly bumped into Li Chuan's back.
It's a familiar and wonderful feeling.
Li Chuan turned his head to look and saw a very young village woman standing behind him, her face already flushed red, her big eyes watery, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"Sorry, I... I didn't mean to..."
The village woman apologized softly, her face rosy with embarrassment.
After speaking, she frowned slightly and then gritted her teeth, seemingly enduring something.
Li Chuan's gaze shifted behind her, and he immediately understood the situation.
Behind the young village woman was a burly middle-aged man, looking lecherous, obviously not a good person.
Because there were many people in the carriage, it was extremely crowded, and this lecherous man was tightly pressed against the village woman's back, with his hands being very inappropriate.
Moreover, he wore a sleazy smile on his face.
Seeing this, Li Chuan frowned and said to the young village woman behind him, "Sis, come stand in front of me, let's swap places."
"Um, thank you."
The village woman gave Li Chuan a grateful look.
Li Chuan nodded and then turned his body, letting the village woman stand in front of him!
With this move, the middle-aged man wasn't happy, glaring at Li Chuan with a venomous look on his face, revealing a threatening expression.
Li Chuan ignored him, turning to look out the window, where the scenery of the mountain was very serene and beautiful.
After watching for a while, Li Chuan looked again at the village woman in front of him.
Although called a village woman, she was actually not much older than Li Chuan, looking just over twenty, pretty and attractive.
Her face was a classic oval shape, resembling Liu Yifei, and her skin was very fair and smooth, with a curvy figure, standing about one meter sixty-five tall.
Being so close to the girl, he could smell a very pleasant fragrance coming from her.
This scent was a natural mix of scented snow flowers, milky fragrance, and floral water, very naturally pleasing, unlike the low-quality perfumes city girls use, which really make people want to vomit!
"Taohua Village is here, everyone disembark, if you want to go to town after lunch, wait here, departure at two o'clock."
The driver shouted, the bus stopped.
This place is still outside the village, about two hundred meters from the village, the driver is clearly looking to save some fuel.
People on the bus seemed used to this, and got off to walk.
Seeing the place, Li Chuan also disembarked.
"Young man, are you going to Taohua Village too? I'm from Taohua Village, how come I haven't seen you before?"
The young village woman also got off the bus, walked up to Li Chuan, and asked.
"I'm from Jiangzhou College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, here for the 'Three Going Program,' our school has a medicinal herb garden here, I'm in charge of it." Li Chuan said with a smile.
"So you're from Jiangzhou College of Traditional Chinese Medicine? Students came before, but they couldn't stay, that herb garden actually also looked deserted!" The village woman said surprised, "But I can take you there, so you won't have to knock door-to-door asking."
"That's great." Li Chuan replied joyfully, having no clue before.
Just as they were about to leave, the lecherous middle-aged man suddenly chased from behind, blocking their way!
"Stop! Where do you think you're going, ruining my good time!"
"Chen Bao! What do you want?" The village woman looked frightened.
This Chen Bao was the village bully in Taohua Village, with several brothers, extremely wicked!
"What do I want? Of course, I want you!" Chen Bao shouted with a fierce face, his eyes wantonly wandering over the young village woman's body!
The girl was terrified and hid behind Li Chuan, trembling with fear!
"Chen Sisi, you little tramp, today I have to f*** you!" Chen Bao shouted with a lustful grin, and then walked towards Li Chuan: "Young punk! Get out of the way, this is none of your business! Or else I'll throw you to Wild Bear Ridge to feed the bears!"
"Bang!"
Without saying a word, Li Chuan kicked the village bully away, causing Chen Bao to roll painfully on the ground, looking at Li Chuan with eyes full of terror!
He couldn't believe that this seemingly young youth could have such strength in his feet!
"Come on! Show me how you plan to feed me to the bears!" Li Chuan sneered, looking down on this kind of woman-bullying thug!
"Alright! You're tough! Wait till I show you!"
Seeing he couldn't match Li Chuan, Chen Bao spat a threat and ran away!
After Chen Bao ran, Chen Sisi breathed a sigh of relief, and said gratefully, "Young brother, thank you so much, if it weren't for you, today I couldn't escape Chen Bao's evil clutches!"
Li Chuan smiled: "No thanks, so your name is Chen Sisi, it's quite nice, I'm called Li Chuan, you can call me Chuan."
Chen Sisi blushed: "Alright, Chuan, let's walk then."
Being looked at by Li Chuan made her a little shy, after all, this big boy in front of her was not only handsome but also chivalrous and righteous, such a young man is truly great.
"Sisi, do you guys usually go to the market by bus?" Li Chuan asked curiously.
"Here is actually about ten miles from town, sometimes we ride electric scooters, but today the scooter's battery is just dead." Chen Sisi said with a smile.
"Ouch!"
Just after she spoke, she let out a cry of pain, and then squatted down holding her left foot, her delicate face instantly covered in cold sweat, looking very painful.
Li Chuan asked concernedly: "Sisi, what's wrong?"
"Twisted my foot avoiding Chen Bao just now," Chen Sisi responded inhaling sharply.
"Sit on that rock, let me take a look."
"Okay!"
After Chen Sisi sat down, Li Chuan crouched on the ground, this time not needing diagnosis to see that Chen Sisi's injury was severe since her entire ankle was swollen!
