A wolfhound half the height of a man rushed down from the upstairs.
It rushed all the way, making shrill cries that were terrifying.
The guests in the banquet hall on the first floor fled in panic!
Xu Qiu, who was pushing Xia's wheelchair gently, aimed at Fang Qi and pushed the wheelchair with a little force.
In the chaotic crowd, the thin Xia Zhining was bumped hard by someone.
She fell to the ground, and before she could recover from the pain of the fall, she saw the giant wolfhound rushing towards her!
Unfortunately, she fell into the path of the wolfhound!
She understood the wolfhound's groans of pain.
[Run! The enemy air raid is coming!]
[Master is in danger!]
During her university years, Xia Zhining interned at the World Animal Protection Organization and rescued animals in war-torn areas abroad.
In war-torn areas abroad, locals train military dogs to sniff out mines, patrol, or perform search and rescue operations.
She narrowed her eyes and almost instantly determined that the out-of-control wolfhound in front of her was likely a military dog.
And left behind post-war psychological trauma!
Patients suffering from post-war trauma often experience hallucinations, thinking they are still on the battlefield, and their nerves become extremely tense.
Deciding that it was impossible to dodge the wolfhound, Xia Zhining simply gave up hiding and stretched out her hand towards the wolfhound: "Save me!"
For dogs trained like this from a young age, the command to save people is engraved in their bones.
They will even sacrifice their own lives to protect human safety.
Xia Zhining bet that it would stop to save people.
“Save me!”
When the wolfhound heard Xia Zhining's cry for help, its body reacted almost instantly.
Its speed suddenly slowed down, and the moment it approached Xia Zhining, it knocked her to the ground.
But this action is not an attack.
The wolfhound protected Xia Zhining under itself, holding her tightly with its four claws.
Its furry head rested against Xia Zhining's neck, protecting the human's most vulnerable part.
If they were on the battlefield now, the dog would use its body as a shield for Xia Zhining, blocking bullets or flying debris from explosions for her.
Its shrill cry softened into a soothing whimper:
[It's alright, everyone!]
[Don't be afraid, I'll protect you!]
Xia Zhining's eyes suddenly turned red.
She stretched out her arms and hugged the wolfhound tightly.
This ferocious-looking big dog in front of me, even though it is suffering from mental trauma, its instinctive reaction is to save humans.
The dog is well taken care of, its fur is very soft, and it feels like a large plush toy when you hug it, giving you a strong sense of security.
Xia Zhining's eyes moistened as she patted the dog's head: "Good dog, the air raid is over, we are safe."
As a top student who combines knowledge and practice, she has rich experience in comforting animals.
At this time, Xia Zhining gently massaged the acupuncture points beside the wolfhound's ears with her hands, and whispered beside the wolfhound's ears: "We are now in a peaceful and beautiful place."
"The buildings here are gorgeous and neat, and we've left the battlefield."
Xia Zhining noticed that the wolfhound's tense body began to relax.
It lowered its head and used its big furry ears to wipe away the tears from the corners of Xia Zhining's eyes.
[People, don’t cry.]
[We stay together and are safe.]
Xia Zhining was startled, but she suppressed the urge to burst into tears and continued to comfort him softly, "Yes, we are safe."
"Now, everyone is gathering together. There is no war here, only beauty."
"Listen, there's only cheerful music around—"
Language and music can send signals to animals, making them feel safe and relaxed.
Xia Zhining was just about to ask someone to notify the orchestra invited to the banquet to play soft and melodious music.
——"Quick, musicians of the orchestra, don't panic, continue to play music, happy and gentle music!"
Xia Qingqing's voice suddenly sounded beside Xia Zhining.
Xia Zhining turned her head in surprise and found that Xia Qingqing, who was in a wheelchair, had been kneeling beside her without her knowing when.
It was just the wolfhound's big, furry ears that blocked her view.
Xia Zhining looked at Xia Qingqing warily. Xia Qingqing had heard everything she had just said to the wolfhound.
Xia Qingqing had a worried and concerned expression on her face: "Zhi Ning, are you okay?"
"I was really scared. If anything happened to you, I wonder how sad your parents would be..."
At the same time, under Xia Qingqing's instructions, the musicians of the orchestra immediately played melodious and gentle music.
The wolfhound gradually calmed down. It slowly stood up from Xia Zhining's body, then squatted down beside her obediently, sticking out its tongue.
Very well behaved.
It was completely different from the scary look just now.
This is a posture of being on standby at all times. Xia Zhining guessed that it was waiting for its owner.
The panicked guests gradually calmed down and looked at the wolfhound squatting obediently in surprise.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh:
"Wow, Xia Qingqing asked the musician to change the music, and the mad wolfhound got better. What a miracle doctor!"
"Didn't Xia Zhining just say, 'Save me!'? The real daughter immediately jumped to save me. She's really brave."
"The real daughter of the Xia family is so kind! She was victimized and confined to a wheelchair, yet she still sacrificed herself to save this fake."
"Xia Zhining didn't even say thank you. Does this count as saving my life?"
…
Soon someone helped Xia Qingqing onto the wheelchair. Everyone surrounded Xia Qingqing like stars surrounding the moon, asking about her health and checking whether she was injured.
Xia Zhining was helped up by Shen Jiaer.
"Doctor Xia, are you okay?"
Although Shen Jiaer was separated by the crowd just now, his eyes were fixed on Xia Zhining, and he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
I can only pray madly that Xia Zhining, who is proficient in animal language, can deal with the wolfhound.
Sure enough, Xia Zhining did not disappoint him.
Xia Zhining shook her head: "I'm fine. I know why this wolfhound lost control."
Shen Jiaer was ecstatic: "I knew you were my benefactor!"
"Wait." Shen Jiaer looked at Xia Qingqing, who was surrounded and praised by everyone, with a surprised look.
He turned to look at Xia Zhining: "Doctor Xia, why do I feel that the wolfhound was already calmed down by you before that woman asked the musician to change the song?"
