Her Cultivation Diary
Chapter 652 - Chapter 652 652. A button_1

Chapter 652: 652. A button_1 Chapter 652: 652. A button_1 Duoduo lay on the ground, the festering wounds on her body unmistakably visible, even the bandaged knife wound on her belly showed faint traces of blood.

The room was not very warm, as it was adjacent to the air-conditioned area and only had walls about one meter high. Yet, while she lay on the cold ground, her breathing was exceptionally loud.

Song Tan fell silent.

“The information in your application…”

She wanted to say that she didn’t remember it at all, but before the words came out, she thought of the other dogs she had also forgotten about–because she had not really looked at them with care.

She had hastily checked several older dogs that were in reasonably good health and then came here directly.

But at this moment, seeing Duoduo’s condition, it was very difficult for her to just turn around and leave.

After thinking it over, she still decided to give it a try, “Why is Duoduo unwilling to receive treatment?”

There should be no problem with obedience if the police dog had retired. Like Princess, the person in charge said that no matter how painful the washing and changing of dressings were, she endured it without resistance.

“There’s no problem with her obedience,” the keeper said, looking at Duoduo’s heaving belly, and slowly replied, “But she has feelings.”

Hmm?

Song Tan turned her head, “Her handler…”

The other nodded, “Was martyred.”

“Do you see what’s under Duoduo’s paw? That’s his button.”

This time, it was Song Tan who was at a loss for words.

The keeper wiped his face and forced a smile, “Anyway, that’s the situation. Go in and take a look at her. Although, as I said, she’s not suitable for you. But… but…”

He looked at Song Tan, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes, “If Duoduo is willing to warm up to you, I hope you can help us no matter what and let her receive treatment.”

Song Tan nodded.

Then, she slowly walked forward.

This time, as usual, she extended her hand. In the palm of her hand swirled strands of Spiritual Energy, just like she had used before to attract Princess and the others.

However, Duoduo didn’t even shift her gaze, just lying there on the ground, motionless and with a vacant look.

It wasn’t until Song Tan’s palm touched the top of her head that she instinctively flinched, glanced at her, and then with a grunt lay back down.

Song Tan paused.

Then she reached out with her other hand and picked up the button from under Duoduo’s paw.

Duoduo immediately struggled to her feet!

“You miss him a lot, don’t you?” Song Tan held the button and looked at her, her expression very gentle:

“Duoduo, it’s useless to just think about him.”

“He was a hero, with his own responsibilities. You are a hero too, with responsibilities of your own.”

“It’s just that now you are injured, and the responsibilities are a bit different, that’s all.”

While speaking, she gently stroked Duoduo’s head and neck:

“Come with me.”

“I have a very large mountain, and there are many of your kind there. Let’s get your injuries treated first, then you can start your duty of watching the mountain for me–you know, your handler served the people.”

“And I am one of the people,”

…

Song Tan said a lot, but in fact, Duoduo didn’t understand. After all, she was only intelligent, not human.

However, even if she didn’t understand, it didn’t prevent her from feeling the emotions in Song Tan’s voice, as well as those words that would often come from her handler’s mouth.

Duoduo sat up.

Because of this movement, her ulcerated paw involuntarily twitched for a moment, and the scars around her eyes and nose were all exposed. Her tightly bound belly jerked, and faint threads of blood seeped out again.

“You see.”

Song Tan held the round button, comparing it against her neck:

“I know you miss him a lot. If you miss him, then come with me. I’ll have my family make you a bib and sew this button onto it.”

“If you miss him, you can just lower your head and smell it.”

“And you don’t have to keep staring, it won’t get lost.”

“Duoduo, you’re a smart girl. I know you can remember him, right?”

Song Tan spoke slowly, her hand gently pressing down with Spiritual Energy, instantly conveying her emotions to Duoduo.

Duoduo whimpered, moving her gaze from the button to look at her tenderly and sorrowfully.

In the end, she just raised her head and let out a low “woof” from deep in her throat!

Then she slowly stood up.

“She agrees, Duoduo agrees!” The person in charge and the keeper watched from outside, now full of amazement:

How did she manage that? Why even Duoduo–

But that wasn’t the point.

The person in charge shouted, “How about it? Is she well-behaved? The wound on her belly needs to be redressed, and we can’t delay treating the rest of her injuries either.”

Song Tan also let out a slow breath.

She withdrew her hand: “We can do it now. Give me the medicine, from now on, it’s my turn to take care of them.”

…

Changing bandages for retired dogs is actually not a troublesome affair overall.

Because they’re really obedient, no matter how painful or uncomfortable they are, they won’t struggle or try to run away–perhaps they would act up or be coquettish with their original owners, but now, they’ve retired.

Especially Duoduo.

When Song Tan slowly unwound the bandage tied around Duoduo’s belly, it was evidently painful due to the prolongation without changing the dressing, but in the end, she just grunted twice, her body unconsciously twitching a bit, yet she never thought to dodge.

In that moment, Song Tan suddenly understood why the adoption screening was so strict.

It wasn’t just to ensure that they received love for the rest of their lives, but also because dogs that were too well-behaved, if they fell into the hands of a bad person, even if they had the ability to resist, their inherent training probably wouldn’t allow them to do so.

By then…

Song Tan brought her thoughts back and, following the keeper’s instructions, cleaned up the medication one by one.

Only then did she take a long breath of relief.

She also let out a sigh:

“Forget it. If there’s nothing else, it’s also quite nice to take care of the four of you.”

“At most, I’ll fatten you up to be sleek and shiny this year, to set an example for them to see. That way, if they really need more dogs next spring, it wouldn’t be too late to make a couple more trips.”

Although there might not be retired dogs available by then, what if this city doesn’t have any, but other people they know do?

In fact, after the person in charge and keeper made up their minds to let Song Tan take the four dogs, both of them were sitting at the desk, forehead sweaty with anxiety.

“Just… how should I write this report?”

She didn’t submit an application but came directly to take the dogs, which is already outside the procedure.

We’re done for, she’s taking injured dogs.

Injured dogs are one thing, but she wants to take four at once!

Even though two of them are in a very serious condition and can’t adapt to life anymore.

So, the blank application form was spread out on the desk. The person in charge glanced out the window at the pickup truck and bit the bullet:

“Song Tan, I’ll fill out the forms for you. You hurry up and take some photos and videos of your dogs, and make sure to show off their excellence!”

“And about your farm, fill in the details as well, including your live stream room, don’t leave that out, we’ll arrange for someone to check in every now and then. If they’re not doing well, we’ll bring them back at any time.”
