Gu Jia Ning took Hu Po home.
Along the way, they met some acquaintances. Everyone was surprised that Gu Jia Ning was leading a military dog. After asking, they learned that Hu Po, the military dog, had retired, and Gu Jia Ning had adopted her.
Zhang Shuwan lived next door. Hearing the commotion, she immediately came out to see.
Looking at Hu Po, Zhang Shuwan's eyes lit up. She was clearly a dog lover. "I didn't expect you to adopt a retired military dog, but it's good. When Deputy Commander Sheng is on a mission and not home, you have company. If you need to go out, Hu Po will keep you safer."
Although she could often come to keep Gu Jia Ning company, it was still different.
And she is also a woman. Even if she could accompany Gu Jia Ning out, if something happened, she wouldn't be as capable as Jia Ning. Like the last time they encountered a human trafficker, it was Jia Ning who took down the trafficker.
But military dogs are different. Although it's a retired military dog, it still has abilities, and Hu Po is an honorably retired military dog.
"Yes, Xi Ge thinks so too," Gu Jia Ning replied.
Actually, Zhang Shuwan also really liked dogs and was tempted to adopt one, but she dismissed the idea.
She couldn't afford it. Even though it's just a dog, it still needs food and water.
And her family was about to have two more children. The family relied on Lin Xing's salary alone, and they were afraid they wouldn't have enough to eat.
Actually, Zhang Shuwan also wanted to work. It was too hard for Lin Xing to be the sole breadwinner.
But Zhang Shuwan felt it was unlikely.
Now, she was getting bigger, and she also had Guo Guo to take care of. Going to work at this time was unrealistic.
After the children are born, there will be two more little ones to care for, making it even harder to leave.
As for her mother-in-law helping to take care of them? Forget it.
At this time, Zhang Shuwan couldn't help but think of her parents. If her parents were still alive...
A touch of sadness flashed in Zhang Shuwan's eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
After Zhang Shuwan left, Gu Jia Ning used the scanner in her eyes to scan Hu Po.
But the scan results made Gu Jia Ning frown slightly.
It showed Hu Po's pregnancy status; nothing else was shown.
According to the scanner's usual display, if nothing was shown, it meant there were no other problems.
But based on what Xiao Duo said, Gu Jia Ning thought Hu Po probably had PTSD.
Gu Jia Ning immediately used her mind to unbind Hu Po and quickly saw that it did indeed show Hu Po had PTSD.
Gu Jia Ning was stunned. Before, she had always thought that the results from the scanner in her eyes and the results from binding the patient and scanning with the Divine Doctor Space were the same.
But now it seems they are different.
The scanner in her eyes wasn't comprehensive enough. It could only scan for physical illnesses, but not psychological ones.
But the Divine Doctor Space could.
Gu Jia Ning stroked Hu Po's fur, looking at the courses on treating PTSD in the space. As someone who had lived twice, she knew what it was.
She felt she needed to take this course.
Not only to treat Hu Po's psychological problems, but also because in this era, very few doctors, almost none, were aware of PTSD as a psychological disorder.
Yet, in her military region, soldiers were the most likely to develop PTSD.
But even if someone had this condition, people just thought the person was crazy or something else. They didn't know that it was a treatable psychological illness.
Just like before, didn't Xiao Duo not know the reason for Hu Po's abnormal reactions?
And this condition, if not serious, is fine. But once it becomes severe, a person might go crazy, have a nervous breakdown, or even self-harm or commit suicide.
Gu Jia Ning felt she should take this course, not only to help treat Hu Po, but also to help treat soldiers with PTSD.
They defended their country; they were heroes, and they shouldn't end up like that.
At noon, when Sheng Ze Xi returned, he saw Hu Po at home.
Gu Jia Ning told him about adopting Hu Po and mentioned Hu Po's PTSD.
After listening, Sheng Ze Xi was stunned for a moment, then anxiously confirmed with Gu Jia Ning, "Are you serious? This is a kind of post-traumatic psychological illness called PTSD, and it's treatable?"
"Of course!"
"Then Ningning, can you treat it?"
Gu Jia Ning hesitated, "I should be able to."
As long as she went to the Divine Doctor Space to study, she would definitely be able to treat it.
According to the Divine Doctor Space's nature, once she went in to study, she would definitely master all the PTSD treatment courses. She would only be able to leave after passing the assessment.
"What's wrong? Do you have a comrade who has this illness?" Gu Jia Ning asked.
Sheng Ze Xi nodded, then his gaze became distant, and he began to tell Gu Jia Ning.
When he was a teenager, Sheng Ze Xi had a falling out with his father because his father married a vicious stepmother.
He planned to leave Beijing and go somewhere far away to be a soldier.
However, because Sheng Xin Hao had contacted others, nobody was willing to help him.
"...In the end, Zhenrong helped me."
Zhenrong, Hua Zhenrong, was a good friend Sheng Ze Xi had grown up with. Even later, because of his stepmother, his relationship with his family was bad, and his stepmother spread many rumors about him, causing everyone to avoid him.
But Hua Zhenrong believed him.
So, when Hua Zhenrong learned that he planned to be a soldier, he went to ask his father.
"Zhenrong's family has three brothers. His older brother is a doctor, and his second brother is a journalist."
"For Zhenrong, Uncle Hua hoped he would be a soldier, hoping that at least one of his three sons would inherit his legacy. But Zhenrong wasn't interested. He said he didn't have any big ambitions, and his family wasn't lacking food or drink. He just wanted to live a leisurely life, occasionally writing articles, reading newspapers, and tending flowers. That was the life he longed for."
Gu Jia Ning: Wow, at such a young age, he's already thinking about being a slacker and living a retirement life.
To be honest, she also yearned for that.
If she could live a leisurely life, who would want to be a workhorse?
But since Hua Zhenrong's ambitions were these, how could he have PTSD?
Gu Jia Ning had a faint guess.
Soon, Sheng Ze Xi said, "For my sake, Zhenrong went to ask Uncle Hua..."
"In the end, Uncle Hua made a condition: either he wouldn't agree, or Zhenrong would have to go with me."
So that's how it was.
The following events were almost predictable.
Hua Zhenrong, for his good brother and friend Sheng Ze Xi, even though he wasn't very interested in being a soldier, still agreed in the end.
So, the two of them went to the Northwest Military Region to be soldiers.
