"Only in this way can I save you, and save the Xue Family..."
The girl's voice was slightly choked up.

Zhao Dabing had quietly unfastened the harness of the carriage's beast of burden. The exotic beast cried out loudly, its body enveloped in lightning. Zhao Dabing shouted, "Ah, the beast is running wild! Get out of the way, quick, get out of the way!"
