Even if it struggled fiercely, Ye Jian did not let it go. She firmly clasped the dogâs neck and pressed it down to her shoulder. This action was to prevent her neck from being bitten by the dog.
Although Ye Jianâs arms strength was a little weaker than her legs strength, she was still stronger than an average female soldier. With both hands clasping the army dogâs neck, the professionally trained army dog ââcouldnât help it even if it thumped its legs hard, trying to escape from her grip.
Not only was she holding the army dog ââwith her hands, but she also wrapped her hands around the army dogâs lower body, listening to the army dogâs bark, Ye Jian who had her teeth gritted, took a deep breath, and then forced herself to make another turn and press the dog to the gravel like an enemy.
Her eyes flashed more fiercely than wild beasts, full of hostility as she stared at the still struggling army dog.
She tore off a tag number â16â on the dog, raised her head, and fixed her fierce dark eyes on the soldier who had been standing next to her, âAm I done?â
âYes!â The soldier with a gloomy face rushed over. He was worried that his pet dog would be injured. He squatted down and said to the female soldier who took less than five minutes to solve Da Bing, âIâll take the dog from you. You rest for a while. Be careful, the uneven gravel will cause back pains.â
The soldiers at the training base had developed deep affection with their military dogs when they trained together. After raising them for a long time, they regarded the dogs as their comrades.
Therefore, when the soldier saw that his dog, Da Bing, was restrained by Ye Jian that it even let out a low painful whine, his heart ached, âIt is also only acting on orders. If it werenât for me to give the command, it would not attack you.â
Ye Jian, whose eyes were gradually constrained, heard the soldier and slowly loosened her grip. When the soldier tied the dog with a leash and then stroked the dog, its brown fur no longer erected, and Ye Jian was completely relieved.
The army dog âDa Bing quickly got up and squatted obediently beside the soldier. It stuck its long tongue out, and although it still looked mighty, it had already looked much calmer.
âThis is a military dog ââthat has done meritorious service. It had helped us kill two armed rioters when patrolling the border with us. It is quite aggressive, most people have almost no chance of winning when fighting with it.â
The soldiers who had been tanned by the northern Xinjiang sun squatted down together with the dog. Both the dog and owner looked like brothers. He scratched its head with his hands lightly; the strong manâs eyes were extremely gentle, âGood job, brother!â
Having said that, he raised his head and smiled at Ye Jian: âTear off the number and I can bring Da Bing back to the team.â
When the army dog ââsoldier licked the palm of the soldier, the squatting soldier stood up and saluted Ye Jian.
Da Bing squatted obediently beside him. It treated him as its brother as well, so of course, it would take care of its brother.
Watching the loyal guards guarding the border leave, Ye Jian, who was standing upright, fell sitting on the icy gravel. She shook her arms, relaxing.
âYou were too nervous earlier, your arm muscles are twitching.â Xia Jinyuan, who walked out at this moment, squatted down beside Ye Jian. While massaging her arm, he asked calmly, âAre you still afraid?â
His strength was so strong that her twitching arm muscles were relaxed immediately. Ye Jian replied with a wry smile, âOf course I am still afraid, but it is useless to be afraid, I have to face it.â
âAfter facing it, you will find that what you are afraid of is nothing at all.â Xia Jinyuan, who looked deeply at her, slowly raised his lips, smiling and petting her head, âThereâs nothing to be afraid of.â
