Military dogs are large dogs with very high IQ and have been specially trained. And, Ye Jian was afraid of dogs.
Looking at the entire training plan, no matter how difficult the latter was, it was not as scary as the “tracing and searching by military dogs” session, written on the first page.
It is true that once bitten by a snake, and one will be scarred for ten years.
The only difference is that she is not bitten by a snake but a dog.
When Ye Jian was six years old, Ye Ying fancied a little puppy in their neighbor’s house. However, the relationship between the neighbor’s wife and Sun Dongqing was not good. The more Ye Ying wanted it; the less the family wanted to give it to her.
Sun Dongqing was reluctant to scold her daughter, so she scolded her neighbor for being stingy. The neighbor’s wife was also a short temper person. After hearing about this, she scolded her back, saying that Ye Ying was jealous, always wanting other people’s things, ways of making trouble, and was not educated.
Sun Dongqing, who had always protected her daughter’s shortcomings, could not accept Ye Ying being scolded, so she took a broom and fought their neighbor. The two families fought badly because of a puppy, but Ye Ying still wanted the puppy in the end.
Sun Dongqing couldn’t help it, so she thought of a plan…; Ye Jian touched the outside of her thigh as she swayed left and right in the vehicle, the corners of her mouth pursed slightly.
When she was a child, she was afraid of Sun Dongqing. She was afraid of being beaten, so she obeyed Sun Dongqing’s orders to steal the little puppy from the neighbor’s house for Ye Ying. As a result, the moment she picked up the puppy, it’s mother immediately ran out from the side, jumped on her, and bit her thigh.
Since then, she had been afraid of dogs.
Ye Jian secretly adjusted her mood, handed the training materials back to Li Jinnian, smiled bitterly, and said, “There’s a small problem, I’m afraid of dogs. And what’s more, the army dogs are large dogs. We haven’t even started the training, and yet I’m already sweating.”
The temperature was more than ten degrees below zero, yet, there was a thin layer of sweat on her palms.
Li Jinnian wasn’t surprised. He looked at her and said indifferently: “Back then, Sea Anemone was afraid of dogs. He was so afraid that no matter what dog he saw, even if it were a pet dog, he would walk around it. But look at him now; he is not afraid of dogs anymore. Are you as afraid of dogs as him?”
He believed that it was not a big problem. Everyone had their fears. Some people could choose not to touch the things they were afraid of, for life, while others had to face their fears until they overcame them.
Ye Jian belonged to the latter. As a soldier, she must face and overcome her fears.
Ye Jian, who was smiling even more bitter, sighed, “I’m almost as scared as Sea Anemone. I’m afraid of both big and small dogs. I was bitten when I was a child, and it has scarred me.”
Ye Jian didn’t hide the truth. This wasn’t something that she could hide anyway because she would have to face her fears sooner or later, and she, even more, had to inform her captain in advance.
“Scarred?” Li Jinnian, whose eyes were calm, said indifferently, “That’s good, you can take this opportunity to successfully overcome your fears. You’ll be following me, and there is nothing to be afraid of. Army dogs are professionally trained; they won’t bite you directly. They will only track and search.”
“Moreover, the more afraid you are, the closer the army dog will follow you. Relax, just think about how to avoid being found.”
Things had come to this point now. Besides, she probably wouldn’t be too panicked if she was really being followed by an army dog.
The year when she went home to look for Old Uncle Gen, she was even thrown over by a Tibetan Mastiff black dog with its forelimbs on her shoulders. Her reaction at that time… was quite calm.
