Chapter 195 Kneading
Indeed, the person who had run to the front was none other than Wang Yongzhu.
To be honest, she wouldn’t have wanted to draw attention either, but when she turned back, she saw they were right at a turn, and the two carts behind were stuck there, with someone’s foot trapped in a rut, trying to pull it free without any success.
If their cart moved out of the way, the person behind would surely be doomed.
Without a second thought, Wang Yongzhu watched the sliding cart, stepped slightly aside, and, as it slid past her, she grabbed the cart’s handle and pulled with all her might.
The cart, with the momentum of its descent, dragged Wang Yongzhu several steps before it barely stopped less than a step in front of Laoliu’s two mules.
The people around were stunned, taking a good while to come to their senses.
A cheer then erupted.
The people who had chased after them had also arrived, with several strong men hurrying forward to stabilize the sliding cart.
Wang Yongzhu wanted to let go of the cart handle, but found she seemed unable to move it, as if her entire arm didn’t belong to her anymore. No matter how hard she tried to move it, her hand remained motionless, as if glued to the handle.
Steward Lu and the others understood at once; the tension was so great that her hand had seized up. It would be best for someone to massage it to help it relax.
But all of them were men; it wouldn’t be appropriate to just reach out and touch a lady’s hand—that would be indecent, wouldn’t it?
