Lizard Keeping Diary

When we arrived at Duke Goodwin's villa, it was the hottest part of the afternoon sun.

After Shatz got out of the car, he almost fainted from the sun.

He hasn't been out in this weather for many years.

Fortunately, when he entered the villa, his whole body immediately cooled down.

wait, something doesn't seem right...

Why is it so much cooler in here?

Shatz was stunned for a moment, all the heat on his body was dissipated, and he felt a little cold.

The valet on the side said, "This is our refrigeration system "Yakon". You haven't seen it in Munro, have you?"

Cooling System?Of course he's seen it, but, "I thought the refrigeration system was for storing food," Schatz said, remembering his shock when he first came into contact with the freezer. In a big house, it feels like the seasons have changed. How the hell does the refrigeration system work?"

"Runs on electricity," the valet replied.

"So, where does the electricity come from?"

"Everything is supplied by the central power station." The valet looked outside, "We only have that one power station, but it is enough. Anyway, the common people don't have such needs."

Strange.Central Power Station, who knows what that is.

Shatz looked outside, trying to catch the shadow of the building.

But he saw nothing, the central power station was too far away from him.

Shatz turned his head and followed the servant to the inner room.

The entire building has only three floors, but it occupies a large area.Judging from the location of the mountains and rivers, this should be just one of Duke Goodwin's resorts, and it is currently in use, which was silently confirmed by the servants working in the villa.

When Shatz came to the third floor, he vaguely heard the sound of conversation, which seemed to come from through the door.

He subconsciously pricked up his ears, trying to understand the content of the conversation as he walked forward.

At this moment, the servant suddenly grabbed him and made him turn around, but he hesitated a bit.

"Umm... this is your first time here, right?"

Schatz sent a puzzled look.

"So you still don't quite know... what the Duke likes to hear." The valet swallowed, "He likes exciting things. The technique is not so important, the important thing is the atmosphere, which makes people feel intense, high-spirited, and fiery. .Do you know what I mean?"

Shatz nodded ignorantly, and while the servant walked forward again, he turned around and asked the recorder in a low voice.

"What does he mean? It has to be an up-tempo tune? So I better not sing?"

"Yes." The recorder showed a cold expression, "You will know when you go, it is not difficult."

This gave Schatz some confidence, plus what he already had, he thought he could do this well.

Schatz followed the footman, feeling himself getting closer to the voice of the conversation, hearing the words more and more clearly.

People's chatter and laughter reached his ears, and one of the names made him realize the key point instantly.

It turned out that the Duke was in the room, but he didn't know what he was doing?

This question was quickly resolved.The servant knocked on the door, opened the door at a suspiciously slow speed, and shouted to the inside, "My lord, the magic musician you invited is here." Then he didn't even look at it, as if he was being chased ran away.

Shatz was wondering, when he looked into the room, he immediately understood everything.

I saw that on the big bed that could accommodate five plain monitor lizards, there were two figures clinging to each other, their legs and feet vaguely intertwined, arousing daydreams through the bright red gauze curtain.

This must be the Duke of Goodwin and his wife.

Why do you just stay in bed?What an embarrassing occasion...

Schatz forced himself to bend down and greeted politely, "Good day, Your Excellency Duke and Duchess."

A chuckle suddenly came from the gauze tent, "He called me Duchess, my dear." The woman's tone was full of fun, "It would be a bad influence if someone in your family heard it."

Shatz was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, he heard the man on the bed say, "Musician."

"Uh, yes, Your Excellency the Duke."

"Can you play now?"

"Yes, my lord."

Schatz took out the lute and sat down at the place designated by the guard next to him.

That's right, there are four guards in this room, the kind with weapons.

The Duke told Schatz through the gauze that he wanted to hear something "as strong as goat weed".

When he said this, the Duke sat up through the veil, but he didn't intend to get down.

Schatz played a short trial according to his own understanding, and asked the Duke for his opinion.

The Duke was silent for a moment, then suddenly praised Schatz happily, told him to follow this tune, and then ended the song satisfactorily.

So far so good.

Schatz began to play.He recalls each sound and the distance between them.He has memorized many notations, but not every piece, even some simple ones.Those things are usually stored in a corner of his memory palace, and they are rummaged around when needed.Sometimes he gets scrambled because of it, but he didn't today, he felt organized and in great shape.

But the situation on the bed was in contrast to it, presenting a mess.

"Oh dear, you are so bad..."

It was just a joke at first, but the situation quickly escalated.

The words of the men and women on the bed became more and more explicit, and their behaviors began to become bolder.

Soon after, the entire wooden structure began to make suspicious "squeaks and squeaks".

Schatz had no intention of being influenced, but that was entirely unlikely.That violent noise had already brought him out of the state just now.He realized what was happening now, and felt deeply insulted.He couldn't believe this was the kind of treatment a musician would get.

Chickpea glandular hairs, these two shameless bastards, scum and mistress, did such a thing in broad daylight!

For a few seconds, Schatz was filled with the urge to run for the door.

However, Shatz thought about his own interests, and reluctantly endured it for a while.

Because essentially, it wasn't his business what those two bastards were doing.

Think about the worse situation... Think about the weird things he encountered before...

After calming down a bit, Schatz decided to finish his performance well.This is his duty, as for the others, he can turn a blind eye.Look, aren't those big brothers with expressionless faces next to them, and the recorder with his head bowed and graffiti, all familiar with it, and don't they have no fluctuations in this kind of occasion?

Now, take a deep breath, noise is not resistance.

Maintain the medium-strong tone, and play the next note...

……

damn it! !Why on earth would someone call a magic musician to do such a thing! !

When Shatz was angry, he accidentally slipped his hand, and immediately heard the woman exclaim.

"Oh, so fast. Darling, why are you so early this time..."

Before he could finish speaking, a man's roar came from the bed.

"Magic musician! You played a note just now!!"

Can this also be blamed on him? ...It seems that he can really be blamed... Shit.

Shatz covered his face with one hand, preventing himself from using the lute as a murder weapon and swung it to their heads.

It was definitely not the first time Duke Goodwin faced a musician like this, but it was undoubtedly the first time he faced a magic musician.

Only a few people who are really familiar with magic music know that magic music can also be full of aggression and even make living people insane.

But is he going to break his own line for the duke?Perhaps one day, he will face a test of his conscience, but that is not today.Today, he will complete this unsatisfactory performance, and in the future, he will inquire about such invitations and stay away from them.

Later that day, the Duke's personal carriage pulled up outside the compound again.

Shatz was carrying a heavy box, almost lost his balance when he got out of the car, and fell face-to-face.

With a new round of whipping and yelling, the wheels rolled and the carriage began to leave the courtyard of the Ritual Music Square.

On the way back, Schatz took out part of the contents of the box and handed it to the recorder, so he was lucky enough to witness the spectacle of a bright smile on a cold face in an instant, and he also received a few compliments, saying that he finally got the hang of it. Will definitely take care of him a lot.

Schatz sighed secretly. It seems that the reason why the recorder didn't remind him of the duke's habit was because he hadn't stuffed money before.

If it was his friend, he would probably have already figured out this kind of thing, or it could be said that he got used to it naturally, so he didn't need to bother at all.

Somehow it strikes him as ridiculous.Whether it is Munro people or Wing people, they are just hypocritical and greedy human beings.

Call him a childish fellow though.He had never appreciated such qualities anyway, nor would he become one in the future.

It took Schatz a few seconds to get used to the bright daylight after he entered the room and turned on the light button.

He put the box on the table, and it was full of gold coins, but he didn't want to take a second look at it for now.

When the lizard appeared in his field of vision, he beckoned naturally to let it crawl on him.

"Oh, you have no idea how exaggerated my day was."

Schatz hugged the lizard, letting the rough skin calm down.

"There's probably something wrong with that duke. You need music for that kind of thing."

His tone was full of doubts, but it was more like talking to himself than talking.

"How could I do this? Why would anyone do this?"

Of course, he believed that someone would actually do this.Perhaps this is a cultural issue.

"I screwed up anyway, but the duke paid the bill in the end."

And he could choose to refuse, but after thinking about it, if he only relied on the basic salary, he might not even be able to support pets.

So he accepted the gold box, feeling that he was officially infected with a "dirty breath", and came back in a daze.

"You said there are so many perverts in this world." Schatz muttered, "I'm still happy with you."

The lizard had been listening to his whining, blinked its big golden eyes, and suddenly broke free from his embrace.

"Hey little guy, where are you going?"

Ignoring Schatz's call, the lizard let go and ran forward.

Schatz marveled at the speed at which it crawled, and couldn't help running, following it to the direction of the kitchen.

The kitchen was small, but it was fairly well-equipped.The freezer was opened somehow.

The lizard crouched beside him, beckoning him to come here.

Schatz went over curiously, looked in the freezer, found a small bowl, and reached out to take the bowl out.

The bowl was originally empty, but now it is full of strange things, the whole is pale yellow, and various substances are mixed in it.

At the same time, some of the food in the freezer has disappeared, such as milk, eggs, raspberries, blackberries...

Schatz suspected that something was missing from the kitchen, but he ignored it for the time being. He took out the bowl and brought it to the table. He saw the lizard crawl over and dance on the table.

"What's the matter..." Schatz said hesitantly, "Could it be, you want me to eat this?"

The lizard nodded sharply.

Shatz looked down at the bowl, then up at the lizard, "Why?"

As if he hadn't expected this question, the lizard froze for a moment, then folded his paws together, showing a pitiful expression.

Schatz stared at the lizard for a long time, and by imagining a situation where a human being did this, he somewhat understood the lizard's intentions.

It might be apologizing to him!As soon as this idea popped up, Shatz found it incredible.But he has reason to believe that lizards are just that smart.

Lo and behold, the little guy even made him a bowl of...slightly disgusting looking food.God knows how.Maybe give it a try though, just in case it's not that bad?

Schatz dug a spoonful of the pale yellow solid, and when he put it into his mouth, he subconsciously wrinkled his face, ready to meet the strange smell.

However, the result exceeded Schatz's expectations.The taste is indeed a bit strange, but if you say it's unpalatable...it doesn't seem to be the case.

In order to test his sense of taste, Schatz dug another spoonful, and this time he tasted it with confidence and boldness.Smooth and sweet, it melts in the mouth, and all kinds of fresh ingredients are integrated together, which enhances the overall layering.If I have to describe it, it is like a combination of snow sand and sweet cake, which is both icy and delicious, and it is double the happiness.

Schatz couldn't stop after taking two sips.In a blink of an eye, the whole bowl was settled by him.Then he slumped in the chair, feeling himself and the lizard switch roles.He finally understood the feeling of wanting to eat after eating.

"I forgive you, little one." Schatz hiccupped, "for the sake of being awesome."

After hearing this, the lizard jumped over happily, but was caught by Schatz with a smile.

In fact, when he came back, his anger had already dissipated. If it wasn't for such an outburst, he wouldn't even be able to remember what he said before.

It was too much to think about, and threatening to send him away would be doing any animal with a sense of it a disservice.

Maybe after he left, this little guy was always worried, afraid that he would really be abandoned...

... What a lousy host he was!

Looking up at the reptile on his chest, Schatz was silent for a while, then suddenly reached out his hand, lifted its body, ignored its wild twisting in mid-air, sat up, and kissed its head.

The little guy became quiet for an instant, and stared blankly at him, as if he didn't understand why he did what he did just now.

Because I like it.Shatz hummed, seeing that it couldn't recover, he took the opportunity to lean up and kiss again.

He bathes the little one every day so it has a faint shampoo smell to it.

Of course, the smell of dirt is also indispensable, because it is always crawling around.

When the lizard finally reacted, its first reaction was to jump out of Schatz's shackles and land on his shoulders.

Schatz thought it was going to run away, so he didn't force him to stay. He just looked at its back and smiled like a sneaky cat.

Unexpectedly, the lizard turned around, jumped onto Shatz's face, and opened its mouth to peck the soft lips.

Those green eyes suddenly opened wide, like ripples on the originally calm lake.

By the time Schatz realized what was going on and tried to take action, the lizard jumped to the ground and scurried away.

Leaving Xia Ci there alone, he was confused at first, and then dumbfounded.

Animals cannot understand the meaning of a kiss, nor can they use this gesture to express affection.

The reason why the lizard took the initiative to kiss him just now was probably because he bit it, so it wanted to bite back.

Thinking about it this way, the little guy is quite vengeful.It seems that I can't kiss it casually in the future.
