On the other side, Wen Nannan accidentally stumbled upon the room where Yu Xiaojun and Fu Yuan were being held. She broke open the door and rescued them.
As they stepped out, the pursuing villagers had already blocked the corridor.
"Sister Wen, what do we do?" Fu Yuan asked fearfully, hiding behind her.
Yu Xiaojun was about to mimic Fu Yuan's reaction, but Wen Nannan grabbed her and shoved a metal hoe into her arms. "I'm scared too! Teacher Yu, I'm counting on you!"
Yu Xiaojun was pushed to the front, gripping the hoe. Several villagers charged toward them wielding farming tools, and she quickly swung to fend off the immediate threat.
"Teacher Yu, you're impressive! And so unassuming," Wen Nannan praised her generously as she observed her swift movements.
She was already doing her a big favor by rescuing her — but expecting to use her as a human shield? No way in hell.
