The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

480: Chapter 476: The Village Bully (First Update!) 480: Chapter 476: The Village Bully (First Update!) “I can finally go home!”

As he looked at the warm morning sun outside the window, Lin Tian smiled slightly and turned over.

He hadn’t tried to control the effects of the alcohol last night, and he couldn’t remember how he had stumbled through to the end.

It seemed that Xu Tangge had helped him take off his coat and dragged him to the bed in the bedroom.

Thinking of going home, Lin Tian couldn’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and excitement, as well as confusion and nervousness, his emotions complex.

Just after he got up to stand, the door opened, and Xu Tangge walked in from outside.

When she drew the curtains, the sunlight poured in like a flowing stream, filling the entire room.

The girl stood by the window, in a plain white cotton shirt, ordinary blue jeans, and white cloth shoes, her youthful and slender figure outlined by the sun’s embrace.

“Are you going home with me dressed just like that?”

Lin Tian rarely saw Xu Tangge dressed so simply and fresh-faced, with her youthful, unadorned face compelling him to take a few extra looks.

Her previously cold and aloof demeanor seemed to be gradually fading away.

But.

Xu Tangge didn’t respond and, with her back to the morning light, cast Lin Tian an excessively beautiful smile that carried a somewhat schadenfreude nuance.

Seeing this, Lin Tian involuntarily turned to inspect himself.

His clothes were neat, the physical reactions in certain areas of his body had subsided, and he couldn’t see anything amiss.

“Is there something on my face?”

Lin Tian asked in bewilderment.

“You got it right, there is something!

It was left by Sister Mu Wan.

She saw that you were drunk last night, so she left on her own, asking me to say farewell to you on her behalf.”

Trying to hold back a laugh, Xu Tangge stepped forward, “Let me wipe it off for you.

After that, go take a shower, and we…

can head home…”

As she spoke, Xu Tangge’s pretty face blushed, reaching for a tissue to wipe Lin Tian’s face.

But after a few wipes, Xu Tangge helplessly said, “Never mind, you better wash it off yourself…”

Lin Tian looked puzzled and then walked dazedly into the shower.

When he saw the lipstick mark on one side of his face in the mirror, he was stunned.

“This must have been left by Sister Mu Wan before she left…”

With this thought, Lin Tian shook his head with a wry smile and quickly took a hot shower.

By the time he came out, Xu Tangge had already prepared a steaming breakfast table.

“She…

you don’t mind, do you?” Lin Tian said awkwardly while watching Xu Tangge silently eating.

“Sister Mu Wan is a nice person.

She was just joking.

Why would I mind?

That’s just how she is…”

Xu Tangge rolled her eyes, then added, “Oh, by the way, we’re going to take the bus back.

I checked the map, and your home is in Phoenix Town; it’s challenging to get there by road.

I thought it would be nice to experience what it’s like to ride a crowded bus…”

“Take the bus, the feeling of being jostled?”

Lin Tian, chewing on an egg tart, was momentarily taken aback.

Half an hour later.

Lin Tian, with Xu Tangge in tow, went to the Bin City Bus Station, carrying their large and small bags of luggage, and managed to squeeze onto the bus headed to Phoenix Town.

It was early July, the time when students from all schools were on holiday.

The station was crowded with throngs of passengers, the clamor and noises echoing all around.

After leading Xu Tangge onto the bus and settling into their assigned seats, Lin Tian finally let out a sigh of relief.

In his past life, he had crammed onto buses countless times during holidays, but this was Lin Tian’s first personal experience.

Turning his head, he saw Xu Tangge’s pretty sweat-soaked face flushed with a rosy hue, looking irresistibly charming.

Lin Tian couldn’t help but say, “Now you’ve finally experienced it, right?

You’re a daughter of a great family, why put yourself through such trouble!”

“It’s okay, it’s a bit tiring, but I got to live this kind of life!” Xu Tangge said excitedly, fanning herself with her pale, jade-like hands: “So this is how you came to school after the holidays in the past?

You’re way tougher than those so-called Young Masters…

no, actually, there’s no comparison to you now, between heaven and earth!”

Seeing Xu Tangge still in high spirits, not at all bogged down by tiredness, Lin Tian silently shook his head.

Clearly, she was a wealthy girl unaccustomed to ordinary food and grain.

This novelty could only wear off after spending some time meandering around the countryside.

Had it been any other girl, they would surely have complained at least a little.

Before long.

The time had come, and the bus pulled out of the station.

Soon enough, they left Bin City, and the bus traveled along the only tarred road heading to Phoenix Town.

Phoenix Town was a small town on the southwestern edge of Bin City, at the very westernmost part of Guangnan Province.

Conveniently, it neighbored Guixi Province to the west.

Southern Continent, two provinces, eighteen state cities.

Phoenix Town was under the jurisdiction of the most southwestern part of Bin City, right at the border between the two provinces.

Here, amidst the mountains and waters, the town was relatively secluded, which also meant that its economy was rather lagging.

In a word—poor!

It was said that the folks in Phoenix Town were very simple and honest, but also extremely bold and brash!

Xu Tangge, who was sitting next to Lin Tian, kept her excitement unabated throughout the journey, continuously watching the landscapes of receding mountains and rivers outside and incessantly peppering Lin Tian with questions.

Lin Tian could only occasionally give simple answers based on his memory.

Staring blankly out the window at the unfamiliar yet familiar scenery, Lin Tian looked lost in thought.

He was now a child returning home, riding a bus, taking his girl to reunite with his parents.

This reality, compared to the blood-soaked battlefields of his former life, was a stark contrast.

Even the recent event of killing the Nine Bone Corpse Soul felt like it was from another lifetime.

Shh~~

Suddenly.

The screech of the bus’s brakes echoed as the bus came to a halt.

Lin Tian looked up and saw a red sedan that had broken down, with a heavily made-up woman standing by the road, waving her hands.

The bus door opened, and the woman got on, complaining with a sullen face, “This damn car, had to break down on this road and go on strike…”

“Driver, is this the bus to Phoenix Town?”

“Isn’t it written on the side of the bus?

Hurry up and sit down!”

The bus driver, with a thick rural accent and a loud, coarse voice, waited until the woman was seated before restarting the bus.

After sitting down, the woman opened her purse to touch up her makeup, then took out an old-fashioned, red and black mobile phone to start taking selfies left and right on the bus.

“It’s my first time running this far and having a breakdown, having to ride this kind of bus, stinks to death, all kinds of sweat, foot, and armpit odors abound, it’s such bad luck!

But, might as well keep it as a memento!”

As the woman indulged in self-flattery and selfie-taking, many passengers began to frown.

Some odd smells were normal for a bus, but even the most fastidious person wouldn’t mention it.

“If you’re so special, don’t ride the bus, walk there!

Acting as if you’re rich or something, holding that old Nokia phone!”

More than half of the bus passengers were straightforward rural folks, and could not help but snicker.

“What, you say it’s an old phone?”

The woman turned her head to glare, rolling her eyes with a sneer, “Country bumpkins are country bumpkins, no vision!

I won’t stoop to your level, don’t want to lower my own class!”

Then, the woman ignored everyone’s whispers and simply placed her phone beside her seat and leaned back in her chair with her eyes closed.

“What kind of phone is that?”

Lin Tian glanced at the ordinary-looking phone the woman had placed beside her and asked Xu Tangge, puzzled.

“That’s no ordinary phone!

It’s a Vertu Phone!”

Xu Tangge smiled, shaking her head softly, whispering, “What she said was not wrong, no vision…

That phone costs at least several hundred thousand!

That woman must be quite wealthy.”

A phone worth hundreds of thousands?

Lin Tian’s eyes bulged, and he couldn’t help but marvel inwardly.

No longer paying attention to the woman, Lin Tian turned around to find that the bus had completely left the suburb of Bin City, with high mountains and rivers and remote villages rapidly flashing by the bus windows.

And the bus started to stop more frequently, picking up rural passengers signaling for a ride along the road.

Throughout the tarred road, every so often, there would be a rural stop.

But at this moment, three men wearing gold necklaces boarded the bus, each with a somewhat fierce look, especially the leading young man who was bulky and tall, with a long scar across his face.

When the three men appeared, many on the bus fell silent.

“Don’t stare, that’s one of the well-known local bullies around Phoenix Town, Scar!”

From the back of the bus, someone whispered a warning, apparently reminding their companions or family members.
