Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 132 - 131: A Choice Between Man and Dog

Gu Jia Ning was being fed porridge by Zhang Shuwan like this; her originally cold hands also gradually warmed up in the hot water bottle.

"By the way, Sister Shu Wan, why are you here? Don’t forget, you’re also pregnant." Moreover, Zhang Shuwan’s belly was half a month ahead of hers; she was already three months pregnant with twins, and it was showing.

"Don’t worry, I’ve got a sense of proportion. I just couldn’t stop worrying about you, so I took the opportunity to come over..."

Through Zhang Shuwan’s account, Gu Jia Ning learned that everyone had been involved in the rescue efforts in the past two days, and many people didn’t even have time to eat.

Indeed, just this morning, the family quarters of the military district organized the military wives to donate some food to cook porridge and prepare small dishes, which were then delivered to the rescuers here. In such cold weather, a bowl of steaming hot porridge was the best.

"I donated some and came over with them."

Natural disasters are merciless, but there is love in the world.

Even though Zhang Shuwan’s family wasn’t very affluent, she still wanted to contribute, so she managed to squeeze out 2 pounds of rice to donate.

Of course, she also wanted to check on Gu Jia Ning, since after Gu Jia Ning went to work at the hospital yesterday, she hadn’t returned, and it was only after Zhang Shuwan asked around that she knew they had come to the disaster area.

Because of Sheng Zexi’s request and her own concerns about the pregnant Gu Jia Ning, Zhang Shuwan came along.

Hearing that Zhang Shuwan had come for her, warmth filled Gu Jia Ning’s heart.

"Then, Sister Shu Wan, you must also be careful; don’t forget you’re also pregnant," Gu Jia Ning reminded her.

"Don’t worry, I know."

Gu Jia Ning was genuinely hungry. The bowl of porridge quickly went down, and she felt her body warming up as well.

"Do you want more?"

"No, that’s enough."

"Alright."

Following Zhang Shuwan out of the tent, they gazed at the scene before them.

With a sigh, Zhang Shuwan remarked, "At least it finally stopped raining. I hope things will get better soon."

Silently, Gu Jia Ning prayed in her heart.

After exchanging a few words of caution with Gu Jia Ning, Zhang Shuwan went to help out with the other military wives.

Not long after Zhang Shuwan left, Gu Jia Ning noticed a commotion ahead, and she furrowed her brows slightly. Had someone still not been rescued?

She found herself walking over there.

Sure enough, she saw several soldiers gathered around a collapsed area.

Through their discussions, Gu Jia Ning learned that there had been another landslide not long ago. A military dog named Amber managed to pull a small baby to safety, but it got trapped underneath itself.

A large boulder happened to be on top.

Unfortunately, on the other side of that boulder was a young man.

The situation was such that unless people were strong enough to move the boulder, both the man and the dog could be saved.

Otherwise, they would have to use tools to break the boulder, but due to the angle, breaking it from one side would cause the remaining boulder to crush the other side, dooming either the dog or the man!

"What are you hesitating for? Save me, save me. I’m in pain. It’s just a dog. Dad, Dad, you’re the village secretary of Xinghua Village. Make them save me, I’m your only son!"

"You soldiers are supposed to serve the people. Save me, I’m in pain."

The boulder and sand had not completely covered the man or the dog, leaving their heads exposed.

The young man continuously shouted in pain and angrily clamored.

Gu Jia Ning’s gaze fell on the other side, on the military dog named Amber.

It was also trapped, with only its head exposed, and blood was still trickling down its forehead. But it lay quietly, head drooping, making no sound. It seemed to have tried to struggle but couldn’t move any further. At this moment, it looked toward its owner, quietly awaiting its fate.

Gu Jia Ning felt a pang in her heart.

At that moment, an elderly couple, holding the saved baby, and a young woman also started clamoring from the side.

"What’s wrong with you people? Aren’t you here to save us? Now that my son is trapped, why aren’t you rescuing him?"

"Isn’t my son’s life more important than a dog’s?"

"If you dare not save my son and save a dog instead, I will surely report you."

Just then, Amber’s owner, a young soldier, was so angry his eyes turned red, and he shouted, "Amber has saved so many people since yesterday. Just now, it saved your grandson and you don’t feel any gratitude at all."

"It’s a military dog, that’s what it’s supposed to do."

"Is the life of a dog more important than a person’s?"

"If it dies saving my son, it would be a glorious death for a dog."

"You..." The soldier was so angry he couldn’t find words, clenching his fist, almost wanting to step forward.

"What are you doing, planning to hit me? Do you believe I’ll shout right now that you soldiers are attacking people?"

"Xiao Duo, don’t be impulsive, don’t be impulsive."

Xiao Duo said with choked emotion and reddened eyes, "Do you know that Amber is also pregnant...?"

Amber was pregnant; it originally didn’t need to come out for the rescue. But because the disaster affected so many people and there were few military dogs in the district, Amber came along.

"From yesterday till now, how many people has Amber saved? How many?"

Tears streamed down Xiao Duo’s face.

Amber saved so many people, and it was pregnant, yet so valiantly participating in the rescue. But now, when it’s in life-threatening danger, the first choice is to abandon it.

Amber must feel so heartbroken.

It doesn’t deserve to be treated like this.

Though Xiao Duo had only fought alongside Amber for half a year, he already regarded it as his comrade. Amber trusted him that much, yet now, he had to watch as Amber...

"Xiao Duo, there’s nothing we can do; we have no choice."

Gu Jia Ning quietly watched, already knowing what choice they would make.

To anyone, truly, choosing between saving a person and a dog, it seemed that no thought or hesitation was required.

Yet, they were both lives.

Should the dog simply be abandoned?

Even though this dog is pregnant and has saved so many people, while that man, just at a glance, doesn’t seem to be a good person.

Soon, Gu Jia Ning saw them make a decision.

Xiao Duo stepped forward, touching Amber’s head, seemingly speaking to it through tears. Gu Jia Ning saw the last trace of light in Amber’s eyes dim, and its head drooped completely.

Seeing Xiao Duo and the others move to rescue their son, the elderly couple and the young woman showed smiles, as if they were smug, or perhaps they had already anticipated this outcome.

Gu Jia Ning quickly searched through the exchange store and fortunately found something soon.

In no time, as the boulder was split in two, the other half completely pressed down on Amber, so that even its last exposed head could be seen no more.

"Hurry, save me!"

Gu Jia Ning quietly put on a pair of gloves she had just exchanged from the store and immediately swallowed a Power Pill.
