He pounded on the wooden cart and shouted, "Dad, stop the cart! Someone has collapsed on the side of the road. I need to get down and check on him—please, stop the cart!"

Before the cart had even come to a complete stop, Zhao Yan, anxious and flustered, jumped off and ran toward where the person lay. With nowhere along the road to tie the animal, Zhao Gao wanted to help his son, but fearing the ox might wander off, he could only lead it forward with quick, hurried steps.
