Every day is one step closer to reality

Snakes and lizards are two creatures that most people stay away from.

But if you put these two creatures together, in comparison, people are more tolerant of lizards than snakes.

That is, if one has to choose between a snake or a lizard, people are more likely to encounter a lizard than a snake.

In the southern region, I often go to project sites and construction sites. I see a lot and encounter a lot of things. Neither the project manager nor Director Cui has a strong fear of snakes and lizards. In fact, as long as it is not a highly venomous snake, no matter what kind it is, their feelings are just average. Anyway, they are creatures that can be killed with a stick, and their lives are not in danger if they are bitten.

However, even if it is not poisonous, it is still necessary to prevent it.

When Feng Yi caught the lizard, the project manager reminded: "Don't get bitten. I don't know how long it has been out in the wild and whether it has any germs."

I saw this lizard looking very ferocious when it rushed out, but when Feng Yi grabbed it, it remained motionless and looked fake.

There is a highly fenced area next to the small garden. It was originally going to be decorated with other decorations, but the construction has not started yet.

Feng Yi put the lizard there and said to Xiao Jia: "Look at it and get some fruits or vegetables that it can eat."

Then he said to Director Cui: "Check it out. There are some plants in the garden that have been bitten by it. Replace those that need to be replaced, and prune those that do not need to be replanted."

Then he turned to the project manager and said, "Construction continues. I'll go out for a walk first and come back later."

Wearing sunglasses and casual clothes, Feng Yi followed the smell to find where the lizard came from.

This kind of lizard used to be called green iguana.

In the past, there were many species of American iguanas, all called green iguanas, but later people discovered that some of these lizards, collectively known as "green iguanas", needed to be protected, while others had become overrun.

Therefore, the original "green iguana" was redefined, and after splitting, it was divided into subspecies, the protection that should be protected, and the controlled quantity that should be controlled.

Once very popular in the pet market, it has spread across the ocean and has spread in many places, posing a threat to the local ecology like bandits. One of them is called the rhinoceros-horned iguana.

The one Feng Yi caught in the small garden was the same one. It had small horns on its nose and a conspicuously large round scale on both sides of its head under its eardrums.

This lizard looks a bit fierce and wild. If Feng Yi hadn't suppressed it here, it would have shown an attacking posture if it had been someone else. But Feng Yi sensed that this one was also raised by someone. Judging from the size, he must have been raised for at least five years.

The breeding place is not too far from the collection hall.

After leaving the construction site area and walking for nearly twenty minutes following the smell, Feng Yi saw a community.

This community is full of townhouses or single-family villas, but they have been built for a long time. The area is not very popular and the properties do not look serious enough.

Instead of entering the community directly, Feng Yi followed the smell and walked along the edge of the community. After a while, he stopped beside a fence guardrail.

He looked through the metal guardrail and looked inside.

There, sitting a young man.

That man was about the same age as Feng Yi, maybe two or three years younger. At this time, he was sitting on a chair, looking in the direction outside the guardrail in trance.

When he saw Feng Yi, he was stunned.

Feng Yi said: "Hello, I am..."

The man came back to his senses and said calmly: "I know, you are Feng Yi, an expert from the Joint Security Bureau."

Feng Yi glanced at him and asked, "Is there any lost pet in your home?"

The man did not deny it. Instead, he felt calm when his boots finally fell to the ground and the dust settled. He smiled to himself: "Have you seen it?"

Feng Yi: "It broke into my garden and ate the plants inside."

The man sighed and said, "Sorry, I will compensate."

Feng Yi nodded, picked up the phone and prepared to dial.

The man stood up quickly: "Wait! You don't need to call the police. I will go by myself. I will accept the punishment! I will take the initiative and I will cooperate!"

Feng Yi explained: "Instead of calling the police, I will ask an investigator from the Joint Security Bureau to come over and make some records. We must follow the process and collect information."

"Okay... okay." The man was inevitably nervous when he heard the words "investigator from the Joint Security Bureau".

Unlike other organizations, the Joint Security Bureau is too serious in this regard, and most people will react in this way when encountering this kind of thing.

Compared with the investigators from the Joint Security Bureau, Feng Yi, an Internet celebrity expert who is often active on the Internet and has a stronger mass base, makes him feel much more approachable, and Feng Yi seems to have a gentler temper and is easier to get along with.

Now that you have chosen to explain the things about illegally raising reptiles, it is better to choose someone who is easy to talk to.

"I'll wait here?" he asked.

"Go to my place. It's not far from here. Your pet is also there." Feng Yi pointed to the direction of the collection hall.

"OK."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other party climbed over the fence of the community neatly.

Feng Yi: "...You can actually go directly to the gate of the community."

"I'm not afraid that you will suspect me of running away...Hey, don't question it, I am really the owner here, and I live in the building next door."

The man took out his ID card and flipped through his phone to show Feng Yi some videos.

It was taken at home, with the house in the background, and also the video of the lizard.

Feng Yi didn't doubt this. He could distinguish the scent of the lizard in the house next to him and the scent of the man in front of him. In addition, he can tell the truth from the other person's emotional information.

The emotional information that the person in front of me exudes from the inside out, as if he is resigned to his fate, is indeed exactly as shown, and is extremely consistent. It was obvious that the other party was mentally prepared.

Feng Yi has never encountered such a cooperative and calm person before, who raises pets in violation of regulations.

As he led this man towards the collection hall, Feng Yi thought about the information he had just seen on his ID card.

"Mr. Zhang..."

"Just call me Abin"

"Abin, that lizard of yours..."

"Tyrannosaurus. It's called Tyrannosaurus."

"How did you get that 'tyrannosaurus'?" Feng Yi asked.

"That's a long story."

A Bin put his hands in his pockets and said with a sad look in his eyes:

"You should know that before the abnormal climate period, the control of this kind of alien species was not strict and you could raise it casually. My grandpa and his family raised it. He was very well-behaved and could understand some words. He would run up to him when he called him by his name. You can touch its head. It looks cooler than a dog. Later, the lizard died and we were no longer allowed to keep it in China. My grandpa often showed us photos. So, I have wanted to keep a lizard like this since I was a child."

It's just that at that time, the Federal Security Bureau suddenly emerged and was gaining momentum, and it was very strict about this kind of thing, so he didn't dare to support it.

"Later I discovered that there are actually many people who raise pets secretly. Five years ago, I received news that a person who illegally sold reptiles ran away, and all the reptiles he raised were thrown into the mountains. There were snakes There are turtles and lizards, with lizards being the most common.

"In the middle of the night, I covered my face and ran to that place to catch lizards. At that time, there were several people like me, all with their faces covered. Before the relevant departments went to clean up, they went to catch a few lizards overnight and take them home to raise.

"The Tyrannosaurus rex was caught that night. I immediately went home after I caught it. If you check the local news five years ago, you can see the report on that incident. At that time, the Federal Security Bureau teamed up with multiple local departments to investigate Some of the 'illegal release' animals in the mountain forest have been cleaned up."

A Bin told the origin of the lizard.

Most of what he said was true, but he wasn't telling the truth about what happened that night. I dare not say it, as it will cause unnecessary trouble.

When he went to catch lizards that night five years ago, he originally thought that he would be satisfied if he only caught one, just to have fun.

But he was very lucky that day and he caught two!

He didn't look much at them at that time. Anyway, they were all about the same size and green-skinned. He would take them back immediately if he caught them, fearing they would be blocked by the relevant departments if they stayed there.

However, when I went back and took a closer look, I found that the two lizards I caught were different!

He originally thought that the other lizard was also a certain species of lizard released by the reptile dealer, but after searching online, he broke out in a cold sweat!

Double check, it's an iguana!

Also known as "Water Dragon".

The real local "dragon"!

Here’s the key point, that thing is still a national second-level protected animal!

If you catch the wild Guo Er, its nature will be different!

So, without any sleep or rest, he put the long iguana back into the mountains overnight.

Later, when the events outside gradually subsided, he secretly raised lizards in this house here.

It grew from a small lizard to a height of 1.5 meters.

"I didn't abandon it on my own initiative! I was really negligent, it sneaked out! I just... didn't look for it this time."

A Bin's expression was a little tired and a little tangled. He raised his hand and wiped his face:

"Do you think I'm too cooperative? There's nothing you can do about it! I'll take the initiative to cooperate with the investigation and get a lighter punishment! It can also have a good ending!"

Invasive species and protected animals are not the same treatment, they are completely different! It is possible to kill him directly!

Feng Yi listened to A Bin's words and didn't say whether he believed it or not. The investigation was a matter for the investigators of the Joint Security Bureau. However, it is estimated from the emotional information emanating from A Bin that even if there is something concealed, it should not be a particularly serious negative incident.

While talking, the two of them had arrived at the collection hall, and Feng Yi took A Bin to the small garden.

A Bin's mind was completely focused on the lizard at this time, and he didn't even pay attention to what this place was for.

Xiao Jia opened the door at Feng Yi's signal. The lizard inside was eating the fruit in the box.

At first glance, he was sure that it was the one he raised. A Bin looked excited: "Tyrannosaurus! Tyrannosaurus!"

The lizard, who was eating fruit, ignored it at first. He probably had almost finished eating, and then turned to look in the direction of A Bin. He walked aggressively and discerned something in A Bin's shout.

A Bin: "Tyrannosaurus! Baby! This way, this way!"

Whoosh——

The lizard confirmed its target and rushed over like a storm.

Warm sunlight shines on this carefully arranged small garden.

The breeze blows the leaves, bringing with it a warm rhythm.

In such an atmosphere, there was no warm scene of the main pets meeting and hugging each other.

When the lizard rushed towards him, Abin ran away.

There was no safe place nearby, so A Bin quickly shrank behind Feng Yi.

In critical moments, experts are more reliable!

Sure enough, the lizard suddenly stopped in front of Feng Yi.

Feng Yi grabbed it and threw it back to the place where it was circled.

When the crisis was over, Abin took a long breath, with a complex expression on his face, and looked over there without saying a word for a long time.

At this time, Director Cui who was pruning the branches came over.

He already knew that the lizard that broke into the small garden was raised by this young man, and took a look at the lizard inside. I saw that the lizard was holding up its front body, facing this way, and moving its head up and down.

Director Cui: "Is it saying hello to you?"

A Bin: "No, it's hurting me. It's signaling me to get out of here."

Director Cui: "..."

Walk away silently and continue pruning the branches.

Feng Yi called A Bin to sit down at the imitation wooden table and chairs nearby.

Feng Yi asked: "You and it..."

A Bin's eyes were filled with tears: "I loved you!"

Feng Yi: "...No, I just wanted to ask. You said you had this lizard for five years, but it seemed to be attacking you just now."

A Bin's face looked as if he had been stabbed with a knife, tears streaming down his face:

"What a bad fate!"

“When I first started raising him, my goal was to grow him into a big man with a body length of two meters!

However, when it passed one meter, I couldn't stand it any longer! "

“I’ve heard people say that once this kind of iguana is tamed, it will be very well-behaved and very interactive.

"At the beginning, I encountered many difficulties that others did not have, but I did not give up at that time. I firmly believed that despite individual differences, as long as I continued to raise it, I could always tame it well.

"After all, it's a lizard, not a snake with such low IQ that it relies entirely on instinct!"

After Abin finished speaking, he thought that the expert in front of him was a snake catcher and might have a deeper affection for snakes than lizards, so he explained:

"No offense, I mean, there are more species of lizards with higher IQs than snakes..."

After thinking about it, I feel that it is not appropriate to say this.

"...Ignore this topic for now. There is no distinction between high and low among reptiles!"

After wiping his face and calming down, A Bin continued:

"Anyway, things were different from what I expected, and they didn't develop in the direction I planned."

A Bin spread his hand and let Feng Yi look at the scar on his hand: "It will be like this..."

Lifting his trouser legs reveals the scars on his calves:

"It will be like this..."

Pointing to his head again: "It will happen again!"

Feng Yi took a look and saw that there was no scar on A Bin's head.

A Bin: "Oh, it was slapped on the head by its tail, not bitten.

"Anyway, raising it makes me question my life!"

Abin's eyes were sad:

"The one my grandpa raised before was so good, with such touching interactions and warm interactions, I was so envious of it! But after I raised one myself, ugh..."

At this moment, A Bin's whole body was exuding the kind of depression where his self-confidence and belief had been shattered, and every strand of his hair was filled with a sense of collapse.

"Why is it that other people raise it so well-behaved, but the one I raise...is simply a psycho! A mad cow! A wild dog! It has been in a manic phase all year round since it was a child!"

"I don't know whether I tamed it or it tamed me!"

"I'm really tired! Ouch——"

A Bin howled loudly and lay on the table sobbing.

Feng Yi: "..."

There are big bosses booking events these days, so you can pay attention.
