There Must Be a Way to Escape Death

Qiao Qian found Xu Bei after two hours.

The cell phone that Xu Bei called from didn't wait for him to arrive at Beiling, he inexplicably couldn't get through it anymore. Qiao Qian could only helplessly drive around the county town, randomly circling about.

There are four roads that could pass through the county town. One by one, he circled around twice before only then finally seeing that on top of one of the roadsides, the snow piles had traces of being scraped through.

He must thank the Heavens that there hadn't been any snow in these past two hours, otherwise even if he circled around another ten laps here, it would have been impossible to see the already stiff-as-dead Xu Bei.

Qiao Qian followed along the serrated edge of the road and slid down, his hand first extended straight to Xu Bei's neck and touched it. His pulse was very weak, it was idle and was only half-heartedly palpitating.

He gave a slap on Xu Bei's face: "Xu Bei!"

Xu Bei did not respond, but the clothes on his chest suddenly moved. Qiao Qian's attention was completely centered on Xu Bei's face and he did take note of his bulging clothes. This move terribly scared him and he sat down directly on the ground.

The zipper of the down-filled jacket was opened, and the head of a white puppy stretched out from inside.

"Fuck!" Qiao Qian couldn't help but shout, and once again felt that the voice was a little loud, so he hurriedly lowered his voice, "...me, ah."

The puppy that had gotten into his clothes ignored the overreaction of Qiao Qian, went on his way licking Xu Bei's chin while also simultaneously whimpering. In any case, Qiao Qian couldn't figure out why Xu Bei's clothes had a dog wrapped in them. He also didn't have much spare time to think about it. He grabbed the puppy by the scruff of its neck and took it from the down-filled jacket, snatched it and then placed it on the ground.

The puppy stood completely still on the snowy ground for a while and then once again slowly walked over to the side of Xu Bei. Qiao Qian felt Xu Bei's chest and found it was nice and warm, it was most likely caused by the body temperature of the puppy.

This is a fine thing indeed. If the dog hadn't been there, Xu Bei would have most certainly already been sent down below to Yama, the King of Hell.

Qiao Qian checked on the condition of Xu Bei's injuries, they're not light. On the leg of his trousers, it was flabbily sliced open together along with a both deep and long gash. Someone had helped him to do a simple wound dressing and the bleeding had already completely stopped, but just casually placing a hand on his chest reveals that his ribs are broken. As for his spine, ah, internal organs and so on... Only Heaven knows.

Qiao Qian studied him over for a moment, directly lifting him up to carry him is certainly out of the question. It is indeterminable which action could cause a second injury, to say again, he can't move him by carrying him. He ultimately decided to drag him to the car. The puppy blindly followed suit beside Xu Bei's foot and it was not until Qiao Qian opened the backseat of the car and managed to get Xu Bei into the car that it obediently sat down beside one of the car's wheels.

The moment when Qiao Qian was ready to get into the car, he saw the puppy just waiting anxiously looking at him. The small glint of emotions in its eyes made him a bit uncomfortable from head to toe. He stooped over and picked up the puppy in the car and threw it in the front passenger's seat: "Coming out to dodge a debt collector and ends up taking along a dog..."

When the car passed through the county town, he brushed by a Hummer. Qiao Qian started to speed up. Compared to him, the Hummer was even more hurried. He nearly ran into it. He sat in the car cursing, "Fuck, how about you go and reincarnate."
