Lizard Keeping Diary

Schatz did not leave the compound for the next few days.He was invited once, but declined.Now is not a good time.After the attack, the entire main city was shrouded in an atmosphere of panic.Even people from the Outer Zone can feel the negative effects of that.Ports were closed and major public places were guarded by troops.

When the news came out, people learned that the terrorist attack was led by the restorationist leader himself.The well-known restorationist leader Gevac Gore came forward to issue a statement. When the incident happened, he was on a lecture tour in Xiayang District, and he has never been in contact with any weapons.In order to prove his innocence, Gaiwaqi was taken away by relevant departments voluntarily and temporarily detained to cooperate with the investigation.

Schatz saw a photo of Gai Vache in the newspaper, with a generous appearance and a dazed expression, and the shackles on his hands showed his suspicion.

But for some reason Schatz couldn't connect Gevac to the whole horrific event, and didn't quite believe that he was looking for him.

The armed man in that alley claimed that the leader wanted to see him, but who knew if it was true or not.In any case, things were more complicated than he thought.

Schatz, of course, told no one the details of what happened to him.

From the perspective of Li Music Square, Schatz is just an unlucky guy who was involved in a disaster.

He would have died eight hundred times had it not been for the help of the famous and faithful knight.

On this point, Schatz was noncommittal.

Speaking of the occasion that day, he was more concerned about the man in the alley, who was mysterious, fierce, tall and strong.

He didn't see the man's face clearly, but he could confirm that his complexion was darker, his eyes were unusually bright, and the sun shone faintly.

That color made him inexplicably familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.It wasn't until later that he caught a glimpse of the little guy sleeping soundly on the pillow, and suddenly realized something.Yes, it's about golden yellow, maybe a little brighter than a lizard.

However, the lizard was originally khaki, and perhaps after a while, it will grow better.

Schatz regards this period of time as a rest period. Apart from staying in the practice room every day, he is also in his own room, doing hand-sewn clothes.Li Te laughed at him and asked him to go out for dinner, but he refused because the lizard was not in good condition.

After returning that day, the lizard slept for a long time, and then indulged in meditation, often inactive throughout the day.

Even when Schatz opened the door and offered to take the lizard out for a walk in the yard, it wasn't as active as before.

Lizards are always looking in a certain direction, as if trying to see a distant scene clearly.

Sometimes Schatz couldn't help wondering what was going on in that little head.

In contrast, Anatis came out of the bathtub.From time to time he floated around the room, circling behind his back to startle Schatz, and smile evilly.However, this situation did not last long, and Anatis told Schatz that he planned to leave here.

"Leave?" Schatz was a little surprised.He almost forgot about this, and only regarded Anatis as a member of the family.

"Actually, I don't really want to go." Anantis sat on the table and stared at him. "Life here is pretty good."

Shatz didn't speak, and reached out to touch the thick seaweed.The soft touch made him linger.

"But late last night, I woke up from a dream and heard the singing of my people... echoed in the distance, like a delusion...they said, the wind has risen, it's time to go home, or the wind will catch your feet and take you Leave."

Shatz pondered for a while, "You mean Qiufeng?"

Anatis laughed softly, as if he heard a child say something silly, "Wind of Change."

He jumped to the ground, and the moment the fish tail touched the stone brick, it turned into two legs.

Now he was about Schatz's height, naked, lean but strong.

As if realizing that it was not good to be naked, he grabbed the cloth on the table and wrapped it around half of his body.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Shatz's expression, Anatis laughed, "It's quite appropriate."

"No, you..." Schatz tried to regain his voice, "Have you always had legs?"

"If it was the time when I first came here, it might not be possible. I haven't recovered my strength yet." Anatis shrugged, "But as you can see, now that I have become like this, I can go out directly without causing land people's doubts."

"Um... yes... yes..." So why did he toss so much in the first place?

Anatis looked at Shatz, and suddenly opened his arms and hugged him tightly, using a lot of strength.

Schatz's muscles tensed subconsciously, but he ordered himself to relax, and gave the temporary family member a final hug.

"I really don't want to part with you." Whisper whispered a hot breath, "After spending some time here, I can't imagine the coldness of the bottom of the sea. There is no you there...or..." After a pause, "Why don't you come with me? I will take good care of you. There are also residences under the sea, which can isolate salt water, and you can do whatever you want there—"

"Anantis," Schatz interrupted, carefully holding up the face that looked like a work of art, and told the merman seriously, "You know I can't go, right? I won't go."

"..." Anantis stared blankly at him, then lowered his head for a while, "Well, I know."

"Anyway, I'm glad you're back with your brothers and sisters, that's your home."

"Yeah...it will be fine to go back...but do you know what I foresee?"

"what?"

"I won't tell you. This is my unique ability." Anatis said with a smile, suddenly raised his hand, snorted a few times to mess up the red weeds, "Hey, I've wanted to do this for a long time .so fun."

Schatz couldn't laugh or cry.

After putting Anantis on a cloak and sending him out, Shatz was kissed on the face by Anantis as parting.Then the mermaid took two steps back, bathed in the brilliance of the setting sun, smiled and waved to Schatz.At the same time, his figure faded away more and more, as if melting into gas, and finally dissipated without a trace, leaving only a word of blessing floating in the empty surroundings seemingly without a trace.

"May your journey be safe and sound, my red pearl."

The mermaid finally left, and literally, Schatz felt a little melancholy.Life is like this, there are always new changes, all kinds of creatures come and go, but who is passing by and who will stay, only time can tell.

But no matter how the things around him change, there seems to be one thing that will not change.

Schatz pushed open the bedroom door, touched the edge of the only bed, and sat down.

The lizard was meditating on the pillow. When Schatz approached, the lizard's eyelids moved slightly, as if aware of his coming, but ignored him.

Seeing that it was so serious, Schatz got down on the ground amusedly, deliberately lowered his voice, and blew on the lizard's little face, "Little~long."

It was just these two words, so simple, but the lizard suddenly opened his eyes.

What does the master call it? !

Schatz was satisfied with the attention he had won, "I have raised you for so long, and I have never given you a name. Although it is not inconvenient, but I always feel that something is missing." He asked, "What do you think about the name Xiaolong?" How about it?"

Facing those two expectant gazes, the lizard didn't know how to react for a moment.

"I know it sounds weird, but the meaning is very special."

The implication...it is really special...

After realizing that it was just a coincidence, the lizard breathed a sigh of relief, but saw the red-haired young man lowered his head with an inexplicably sad expression.

"Anantis is gone, you know?" Schatz said to himself, "I'm actually very happy for him, but... well, that sounds silly..." A deep sigh melted away, "But I really feel...sometimes...everything may leave me. Be it family members or friends, once something unexpected happens, it will...disappear."

Saying this pained Schatz.His head started to hurt again because he thought about his mother again.That poor woman, poor, but refused to leave his father.When he forced himself to stop remembering, the pain began to ease.

Schatz let himself lie down slowly, staring at the lamps on the ceiling in a daze.The lizard jumped on top of him, looking down at him strangely.It won't understand.No reason could adequately explain this inexplicable feeling.Maybe it's just the night.Every moment of silence is an emotional catalyst.

Schatz tried to convince himself rationally, but his bad emotions were still unwilling to be tamed.

He knew he had suppressed it for too long, not thinking about those things, even though he hadn't forgotten all of them.

This has nothing to do with Anatis, and it has nothing to do with his previous experience. He is just... sad.

For those who lost their lives in the attack, for the personal powerlessness, for the unknown future.

In this limited space, only the lizard can bring him some comfort.

"I know. I know." Schatz took the tissue from Little Paw, but still wiped his tears with his hands, "It's so embarrassing. What's the point of crying..." As a result, he choked up, and immediately burst into tears Come out, "But... I guess the day you leave me, I will cry a hundred times harder than this, hahaha... woo..."

what?Who said it was leaving him?The lizard's eyes widened, feeling that he could not understand human thinking.

If you ask it, its answer is: never, never, never, never leave!Because doing that would make the owner sad!

As for what it wants, it doesn't care. If it dares to change its mind at that time, it will bite its own butt hard, because when it was born, it was frostbitten there, and so far no other parts are hard .

Then it will kick off its original self and live happily with its master!
