The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 311: Encounter in the Bathroom_1

"Is there anyone who needs to use the restroom or buy something?"

The female guide named Song stood up at the front.

"If not, we won’t be stopping at the service area, and we’ll head straight to our destination."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Sister Hu raised her hand, "Yes!"

"Okay, driver, please enter the service area and take a short break," Guide Song said.

The coach traveled a few hundred meters more and then pulled into the service area.

Those needing to use the restroom and buy things got off the bus one after the other.

Li Qing who also felt some soreness in his back and waist got off the bus to stretch his legs.

As he wandered near the restrooms, Li Qing suddenly heard a cry for help.

Li Qing thought he was hearing things.

With all the people coming and going, how could there be cries for help?

"Help... me."

Just as Li Qing was about to leave, that faint cry for help rang in his ears again.

Was someone really calling for help?

Li Qing paused, the sound seemed to be coming from the direction of the women’s restroom.

The landscaping at this service area was rather excessive.

Aside from the area around the gas station that was devoid of trees, the rest of the place was entirely surrounded by greenery.

And the area around the restroom was even more overdone—it was practically like a small forest.

With some suspicion, Li Qing walked over.

Suddenly, he saw a shadow flicker behind the restroom.

Li Qing hurriedly took a few quick steps, rounded the wall, and the scene before him made his face twist with rage.

"You bastard, let go of her!"

Li Qing bellowed and charged forward.

He saw a dark-skinned man with beady eyes, his left hand covering Sister Hu’s mouth, his right hand groping her body.

"Kid, I advise you to mind your own business!" he snarled fiercely.

The all-too-familiar dialect caused Li Qing’s brows to furrow deeply.

It was someone from around their area.

"This business, I’m going to mind it!" Li Qing roared and lunged forward.

The dark-faced youth dropped Sister Hu and swung his fists as he charged at him.

But Li Qing’s fist reached his face first.

Li Qing was tall and well-built, and years of farming had given him considerable strength in his arms.

The dark-faced youth, who was somewhat delusional about his own strength, was knocked into the bushes with a single punch.

Seizing the opportunity as the youth was weakened, Li Qing rushed over and viciously stomped on him a few times.

He stomped until the dark-faced youth began to howl like a ghost or a wolf.

But afraid that the youth might still have the strength to fight back, Li Qing stomped hard on both of his arms for good measure.

"Bro, bro, stop hitting me, I was wrong!" the dark-faced youth begged for mercy.

"You scumbag, is this something you do often?" Li Qing demanded harshly.

"Bro, no, I really don’t," the dark-faced youth cried out in a hurry, "I just happened to be a bit impulsive today. When I saw this beautiful woman, I couldn’t help myself for a moment!"

"You still couldn’t help yourself!" Li Qing delivered another brutal kick, "Apologize!"

"I’ll pay you!" the dark-faced youth shouted.

Li Qing looked towards Sister Hu, it was up to her to decide what to do.

Sister Hu, her face a mix of shame and rage, rushed over and gave the dark-faced youth a fierce slap, "Who needs your dirty money!"

"Pah!"

"I apologize, I apologize!" The dark-faced youth quickly yelled, seeing Sister Hu’s reaction.

"Sister Hu, shall we call the police?" Li Qing asked while stepping on the dark-faced youth’s hand.

Sister Hu’s normally smooth and delicate cheeks were now clouded with anger.

After staring disdainfully at the dark-faced youth for a moment, she said, "Let him go!"

"Okay!" Li Qing didn’t say much.

He understood Sister Hu’s concern, worried about losing face.

Although calling the police would have been better, the incident getting out could tarnish her reputation.

"Now get lost!" Li Qing shouted angrily.

The youth with the dark complexion took off as if he’d been granted amnesty, scrambling to his feet and dashing out the door.

"Sister Hu, are you okay?" Li Qing turned to ask Sister Hu.

Sister Hu herself didn’t seem to understand what had suddenly come over her; her complexion was both red and pale as she leaned against the wall, hands covering her lower abdomen.

To say she looked pained, there was no sign of it; instead, she seemed somewhat embarrassed.

Sister Hu, flustered and uneasy, glanced at Li Qing and quickly shook her head.

Li Qing wanted to help, but he couldn’t quite understand what was wrong with Sister Hu.

There was an awkward pause for a little while, then Sister Hu suddenly asked with a red face, "Er... do you have any spare underwear?"

"Huh? Mine?" Li Qing was startled and confused.

This was utterly baffling. Why was she suddenly asking him for underwear?

It wasn’t until Li Qing noticed a faint trace of wetness on the wall that he suddenly realized what had happened.

She seemed to have... wet herself!

Upon deeper thought, Li Qing quickly understood the situation.

Sister Hu was the first one to shout about needing the bathroom.

And she hadn’t had the chance to go when that dark-faced thug grabbed her and brought her here.

The stress and the shock, on top of holding it in, caused her to wet herself.

"Don’t look!" Sister Hu, noticing Li Qing’s gaze, turned a deep shade of red as if blood would start dripping from her face.

"Sister Hu, you probably can’t wear mine. I’ll go ask one of the female teachers for a pair," Li Qing said.

"Don’t, please don’t!" Sister Hu, her face flushing with embarrassment, hurriedly protested, "Yours will be fine."

"Oh... okay, then wait for me a bit, I’ll go get them!" Li Qing said.

When going out, one definitely should pack a couple of spare clothes.

Li Qing guessed he might have to share a room with others, and this time he had specifically brought a new pair with him.

Back on the tour bus, Li Qing took his own bag out.

After all, carrying a pair of underwear out in the open would look pretty bizarre.

"Sister Hu, try these on and see if they fit!" Li Qing took the underwear out and handed them to Sister Hu, "They’re new."

"Thank you!" Sister Hu, her face flushed with shame, stammered, "Even if they don’t fit, I’ll have to find a way to wear them."

Just as she was holding up the underwear and getting ready to change, she suddenly noticed that Li Qing was still standing there.

"You..."

Li Qing suddenly realized, "Oh, I’ll go outside. If anyone happens to come by, I can help block them for you."

"Thank you..."

Sister Hu said in a barely audible voice, softly.

This massive public embarrassment made her wish she could just dig a hole and bury herself right then and there.

Li Qing waited outside, and only after a while did Sister Hu, her face still flushed, emerge awkwardly.

"About today’s incident, you..." As she approached Li Qing, Sister Hu spoke softly.

Li Qing cut her off, saying, "It’s between you and me."

Sister Hu pursed her lips, "Thank you, I’ll find a chance to return your clothes."

"No problem, it’s just a pair of underwear," Li Qing said generously.

Compared to the loss of a pair of underwear, he was more delighted by this unusual circumstance.

The underwear that Sister Hu was now wearing was his.

This fact gave him a peculiar thrill.

The two of them returned to the bus, one after the other.

"Um, could you stand next to me for a minute?" Sister Hu whispered to Li Qing, "Just a minute will do."

Li Qing didn’t know what she needed it for, but he just nodded.
