Lizard Keeping Diary

The freezer was magically empty.Schatz had to go out to buy daily necessities.He remembered that the lizard's favorite vegetable was corn, followed by something chewier.I don't know since when, everything he buys is more lizard-like.

One of the first things Schatz did when he got back was make a corn and fruit salad.This is perfect for breakfast.

Schatz was also quite satisfied with the final product, but when he brought the salad to the lizard, the little guy didn't open his mouth as excitedly as before, waiting for him to feed himself, or just ignoring him Warning dove headlong into the bowl.

Now the lizard just glanced at Sarah as if he didn't see it.

Schatz spooned the salad to the lizard's mouth, but it turned its head away, refusing the food for the first time.

This is really strange.

Schatz looked at it for a long time, suspected that he had a stomach problem, and forced eating might lead to bad results, so he simply ate the salad by himself.

Seeing him like this, the lizard immediately became more aggrieved, jumped off the table and ran away without looking back.

I don't know where there is a veterinarian in the main city?Schatz thought for a while, only thinking of a traditional magic healer.

Although he felt that the therapist could help, Schatz decided to be more cautious and observe the lizard's situation.

After breakfast, Schatz found the lizard in a bedroom drawer, slumped among the clutter.

Schatz tried to pull it out, but it shuddered, stuffed itself into a new sock, and refused to come out.

Schatz couldn't help it.

However, the lizard doesn't look like it's sick, maybe it's in a bad mood and wants to be alone with the lizard.

Shatz thought about it, and felt that it would be better to give his pet a little space, so he left it alone for the time being.

Anyway, there's another thing to deal with.

"Anantis, I have good news." Schatz took out a bunch of keys, "I borrowed an airship, the kind that can be driven casually. Although I don't know how to operate it, it is said to be very simple. I've already started studying the instructions."

The mermaid in the bathtub was a little confused, "Do you want... to send me away?"

"I'm going to help you get back to the ocean," Schatz replied. "That's what you want, isn't it?"

The mermaid lowered her head slightly, letting her seaweed-like hair cover part of her face, before whispering, "Help me...and why?"

"What?" Schatz didn't catch it.

"Why do you help me?" Anantis raised his head, "From the beginning, there is no need to help me. You are all land people, and you are closer to each other. Why take the risk to rescue me and hide in the Here? Obviously, if you are found out, you will get into a lot of trouble..."

Shatz was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't thought about this question.

In fact, he is indeed a person who is afraid of getting into trouble, and usually tries to avoid potential difficulties as much as possible.

But there are some things that he regards as must be done, and at this time his thoughts cannot be controlled by himself.

Seriously, he helped Anatis for a very simple reason.

It's simple, but powerful.

"We shared a special song." Shatz took Anantis's hand. "It connected us as friends."

"Friend?" Anatis tilted his head, seemingly not understanding the concept. "Friend." He savored for a while, then laughed again, "We do have a connection, and it's different from the connection between mermaids."

"So you can understand me, and I can understand you, Anatis."

This made Anatis very happy.He was wagging his tail in the bathtub, and Schatz was sure he'd still be slapping the waves and moving his arms to express his excitement if there wasn't space.

"Since we're friends, I have a kind request," Anantis said later, "don't send me back to the ocean."

Schatz asked in surprise, "Why?"

"I've always lived at the bottom of the sea and beyond. It's a great way to live, free, raw, natural. But lately I've realized more and more that I don't know anything about life on land. I thought I was a little However, the facts have proved that I don’t.” Anatis bowed his head, “As the head of the clan, I must protect my people, which means I must be more aware of the dangers of the outside world. At least I have to figure out how these wingmen live."

Meaning... want to stay?

Shatz was stunned for a while, looking at the key in his hand with complicated emotions.

So it was useless for him to check the map to plan the route, and even ran to borrow the airship?

With a sigh, Schatz squeezed Anatis' hand even tighter.

"Don't worry, my door will always be open to my friends."

Considering that mermaids are invisible, it shouldn't be particularly dangerous.

Schatz confirmed that Anantis had no intention of going out, so he found a few books for Anantis to read.

Needless to say, this can at least pass the time.After all, Anatis must be extremely bored after soaking in the bathtub all day.

Schatz specially selected some beautifully illustrated literature and art books for him, but he didn't pay attention to the content, just flip through them.

Unsurprisingly, Anatis was fascinated when he saw it, and couldn't put it down while holding those books.Schatz breathed a sigh of relief.

Mermaid problem solved.While not an ideal solution, he's still here, not at the bottom of the ocean.

But anyway, no one died, no one was hurt, no one was sold, Schatz thought it was good.

The next question is trickier.When he left, the lizard was in a sock, and when he came back, the lizard was still in the sock.On the opposite side of the drawer, he could only see the stuffed sock with its long tail sticking out, shaking it outside from time to time, proving that he was still alive.

What a helpless little guy.

Schatz sighed deeply.

Although the lizard is often as psychic as a human, it is not human, otherwise it could just tell him what is wrong with him.Now he can only guess according to his habit, and then think of some wild ideas.

"Little guy, look what I brought you?"

The voice behind was full of temptation, but the lizard buried his head deeper.

For him, the sock is now the safest place to be, not to be bullied, not to be misunderstood.

In this small but warm cotton cloth, it found a haven of refuge.And it wants to hide forever, forever and ever...

"I bought your favorite auspicious pig shredded meat in honey sauce."

what? !

The lizard broke free from the socks, poked its head out of the drawer, and looked up at Shatz with his hands behind his back.

No, there is no smell of shredded pork in honey sauce from auspicious pigs in the air...

... The master lied to it!

Lizard turned his head sadly, but Schatz said, "Well, I didn't actually get it. It was too late. But I brought you something better than that. Here, look at this beautiful Gift."

Fluttering.

Whispering.

The sound effect of the latter sentence seems to be artificially issued.The lizard glanced hesitantly, and indeed it was Schatz who was using strange sounds to attract its attention.As if he succeeded.The lizard stood up, trying to figure out what the dangling object was.Gold, shiny, like a show prop, with a few straps hanging down.

"It's an iron wing for pets," Schatz introduced enthusiastically. "Obviously, they really do make this kind of thing for pets. I chose the rabbit model because they don't have a lizard model and it's the smallest model." , maybe a bit big for you, but we can adjust the control belt anyway. You have grown up a lot lately." He paused, staring at the lizard with glowing eyes, "Would you like to try it?"

The owner seemed to be looking forward to it.

The lizard hesitated for a moment, wondering if it was time to compromise.It is losing its temper now, if the owner does what it says, where will it save face?

As if seeing the lizard's hesitation, Shatz didn't force it, but just put the iron wings on the bed, and went out first.

After a while, Schatz almost forgot about it, and when he went back to the room to get something, he saw that the lizard had already put on the iron wings.

Although it was put on, it was loose and loose, making it look like a layman.Schatz suppressed a smile and started to fiddle with the lizard.This piece of equipment was not as big as he thought, and after some adjustments, it fit quite well.

Lizard kept looking down at himself, as if surprised by the effect of Iron Wing's upper body.But the more surprising thing is yet to come.Schatz raised the corners of his mouth slightly and told the lizard to jump off the bed, only this time he had to grab the control belt.

The lizard complied without hesitation.

After jumping off, the lizard didn't fall too far down, and it stopped in the air about one-third of the height.The two small wings opened automatically, and the lizard began to fly.Although it is more accurate to describe it as gliding than flying.

The lizard's iron wings kept flapping, but it was a pity that it was a toy in nature and could not fly very high, at most it could stay in the air for a while.

But that was enough to get the lizard excited.

Schatz could see how much the lizard liked the iron wings.Is there any reason not to like it?Wearing it is like wearing wings, and it is also golden, which matches the skin color of the lizard inexplicably.He admitted that seeing this color at that time made him want to buy it.

"Hey, watch out!"

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the lizard fall straight to the ground, Shatz rushed over, squatted down and tried to catch it.But Schatz was still a step too late, and he was not sure.The lizard fell to the ground, rolled and jumped up, not only did not lose its will, but it was more energetic than before.

Fluttering.

The lizard flew up again and walked through the door into a larger space.It knows that the owner must follow behind in case it accidentally falls down.But if it can talk, it will tell the master, no, even though it is the first time to use the pair of iron wings, it already feels that the iron wings are as close as brothers.

There is no better feeling than being yourself.

And this flowing air, overlooking the angle of view, just constitutes the moment when it is closest to the self.

It feels free, raw, natural, happier inside than it appears.

This is the best gift it has ever received.none of them.
