Chapter 1723: Afraid Of Dogs?
Military dogs had high intelligence and had undergone special training. As for Ye Jian, she was afraid of dogs.
After reading through the entire training plan, no matter how difficult it was later on, nothing was as scary as the ‘military dog tracking and searching’ on the first page.
It was said that once bitten, twice shy.
The difference was that it wasn’t a snake that bit her but a dog.
When she was six years old, Ye Ying took a fancy to the neighbor’s puppy. The neighbor’s mistress didn’t get along well with Sun Dongqing. The more Ye Ying wanted it, the more the family didn’t want to give it to her.
Sun Dongqing couldn’t bear to scold her daughter so she scolded her neighbor for being petty. Her neighbor’s mistress was a shrew too. After hearing what she said, she scolded her. She said that Ye Ying was jealous of other people’s good fortune. When she sees the belongings of others, she would want them for herself. She was extremely petty. If she didn’t get what she wanted, she would make a fuss about things like an uneducated brat.
How could Sun Dongqing, who had always been protective of her family, accept Ye Ying’s scolding? She took a broom and rushed up to fight. She even fought over a dog. The two families completely fell out with each other. However, Ye Ying didn’t stop and continued to argue.
Sun Dongqing couldn’t coax her anymore so she thought of a solution… As the vehicle swayed, Ye Jian touched her outer thigh and pursed her lips.
When she was young, she was afraid of Sun Dongqing. She was afraid that she would be beaten up so she listened to Sun Dongqing and went to the neighbor’s house to steal the puppy for Ye Ying. In the end, when she picked up the puppy, its mother rushed out from the side and bit her leg.
From then on, she was afraid of dogs. She had been afraid until now.
Ye Jian secretly readjusted the training materials and handed them back to Li Jinnian. She smiled bitterly and said, “I’m a little worried. I’m afraid of dogs. This time, the military dogs are large. I haven’t even started but my palms are already sweating.”
There was a thin layer of sweat on her palm.
Li Jinnian wasn’t surprised at all. He looked at her and said calmly, “Back then, Sea Anemone was afraid of dogs. He was so afraid that no matter what kind of dog he saw, even if it was a pet, he would always avoid it. But now, as a scout, he’s no longer afraid of dogs. Is your fear toward dogs as severe as his?”
He didn’t think it was a big deal. Everyone had things they were ‘afraid of’. Some people could choose to never touch the things they were afraid of, while others had no choice but to face it until they won.
Ye Jian belonged to the latter. As a soldier, she had to face everything head-on and win.
Ye Jian smiled bitterly and sighed. “I’m just as scared as Sea Anemone. I’m scared of big and small dogs. I was bitten when I was young, so I’m scared till now.”
She had never thought of hiding it. This kind of thing could not be concealed just because she wanted to. Moreover, she would have to face it very soon, and she needed to report it to her captain in advance.
“A psychological trauma?” Li Jinnian, who had a calm expression the entire time, said calmly, “That’s good. Let’s see if we can overcome it this time. You can still follow me. There’s nothing to be afraid of. The military dogs have received professional training. They won’t bite you. They’ll only track and search.
“Also, the more you show fear, the more the military dogs will follow you. Relax and think about how to avoid getting tracked by them.”
At this point, she could only do so. If she was really targeted by the military dogs, she probably wouldn’t panic too much.
The year she came back, she had gone home to look for Grandpa Gen. The Tibetan Mastiff, Heiga, had put its forelegs on her shoulders. At that time, she… was quite calm.
