Days of Love with Tyrannosaurus Rex

As the scorching July draws to a close, this remote town ushered in its first typhoon this year.The sky on a typhoon day is always gray, as if there is endless rain in it. If you go outside with an umbrella, you will come back drenched in less than 2 minutes. Eli’s bar is because of the weather. The reason was that the store was closed for a few days, and Noah and Noah stayed at home all day, and only when the rain was light would he drive his old car that was close to being scrapped to go out to buy things.

Eli starts to feel the pressure of owning a T-Rex.

Noah's growth rate is simply astounding. Almost every day after waking up, he can feel his growth with the naked eye. In less than ten days, he has already grown to the size of a medium-sized dog, and he has to eat a lot of meat every meal. The need for exercise is also increasing. During the rainy days, he will walk around the room anxiously. Eli can't take him for a walk like a dog, so he can only let him walk in the backyard. Move around a little bit.

Every day, Eli uses the car he inherited from his father to bring back a load of meat in the trunk. Although he changes shops every time, most meat owners already know him and know that he has raised a pig at home. The large wolf dog guards the home and is occasionally greeted by people on the road, asking how the dog is doing.

So after the rain subsided a little, Eli started to drive further to the city to purchase, and bought a lot of books similar to "Large Pet Feeding Rules". Tyrannosaurus rex, he decided to consume Noah's excess physical strength in other ways.

He prepared Noah's favorite beef stew in the kitchen and called it by name.Three seconds later, Noah, who was already as high as his thigh, rushed into the kitchen at an unbelievable speed, stopped the car at his feet at an even more unbelievable speed, and began to lick his naked body excitedly arm.Eli hurriedly covered its fiery tongue with a pan, and pressed its head: "Okay, okay, where did you learn these bad habits?"

Noah, who couldn't lick Eli, had to settle for the next best thing, and came up with the idea of ​​beef.It straightened its upper body, resting its forelegs on the kitchen countertop, staring at the boiled beef in the pot with its bright eyes, and then flicked its tail towards Eli.Eli couldn't bear to see its lowly behavior of pretending to be a dog, so he patted its front paw, and said, "Sit!"

This pronunciation is still very unfamiliar to Noah, it tilted its head and looked at him with some doubts.Eli gestured a downward movement with his hand, and said "sit down" again, Noah followed his gesture and lowered his head, looking at the ground inexplicably.

Eli laughed out loud and touched the top of its head. It immediately raised its tail and snorted happily, but Eli soon became serious, patted its hind legs, and said, "Sit down!"

Noah's muscular hind limbs were patted crisp by Eli, and he almost subconsciously fell to the ground, looking up at him in a daze, with his tail wrapped around his legs.

Eli eased his tone, and patted its head again: "Good job, well done." Then he gave it a large piece of beef.

Noah barely tasted the beef, his eyes still fell on Eli's palm that slapped it.Unlike its front and rear paws, which were beginning to be covered with scales, Eli's hands were soft and delicate, with a temperature that was always higher than its own, and seemed to always carry magical energy. When touching its hind legs, it was like an electric shock , making it involuntarily move its head towards it, wanting to rub it again.

Eli touched it casually, and started the next word: "Get up."

Noah stared at his upward hand, and it took almost no effort to understand what he meant, and followed the bony hand to stand up again.Eli gave him the second piece of beef, which was starting to turn a pleasant orange-red color, and sat him down again, which he quickly settled into, wagging his tail and looking at him expectantly.

"God, you're a little too smart." Eli glanced back at the contents of the book, which said that it might be repeated 20-100 times, "Let's try something more difficult."

He dragged in a small bag of stinky chicken from the outside, and put the freshly cooked beef in his left and right hands respectively, squatted down and looked at Noah, and raised the chicken in his left hand first.Noah, with sensitive taste buds, turned his head slightly to avoid the overly stimulating taste stimulation.

"Bad, not good, those who don't like it, shake your head." Eli said, shaking his head, "Shake your head."

Noah tilted his head to observe for a while, then looked at Eli's slender fingers, and did not move.

Eli put the beef back for the time being, and only held the rotten chicken. He gently held its jaw with his free hand, shook it left and right, and said while shaking, "If you don't like it, shake your head."

Noah's nose twitched twice, his breathing began to become heavy, his fangs were slightly exposed in joy, and Eli's serious figure filled his pupils.

"Shake your head. Remember?"

Noah snorted a little, and Eli thought he had smoked it, so he held the meat a little far away, let go, and said, "Smelly chicken, do you like it?"

Noah shook his head obediently.

Eli picked up the boiled beef again, and demonstrated his nodding first. Noah seemed to have difficulty understanding this more complicated vocabulary, but he still didn't move, so he had to drag its jaw again and teach the nodding again.

Noah narrowed his eyes slightly comfortably, and when Eli gave instructions again, it nodded obediently, and practiced with him a few more times, Eli was surprised by its intelligence again, and couldn't help scratching it Chin: "Are you a second-evolved dinosaur?"

Of course Noah would not answer, he just wrapped his tail around his wrist and licked his hand inside and out.

Eli had a brief distraction, and re-examined Noah from beginning to end.It was less than half a month old and hadn't grown enough hard scales yet. The sharp armor of its front and rear claws had begun to take shape, its sharp teeth had just grown, and its forelimbs were short and relatively clumsy. Compared with the Tyrannosaurus rex in his impression Too big a gap.

He fed all the remaining beef into Noah's stomach, took out a giant version of the cat teaser from the bag, cleaned up a large area of ​​the whole living room, put the cat teaser in the middle, and shook the stick first , let the colorful feathers start to swing exaggeratedly: "Hey, Noah, what is this?"

Noah, who has excellent dynamic vision, was quickly attracted, and walked around the cat teasing stick, trying to grab the feather with his not-so-flexible forelimbs. the other side.Noah tried a few more times, and then directly wrapped his tail around the stick, and easily pulled out the cat teasing stick that was firmly sucked on the floor through the suction cup. teetering on the brink of cracking.

Noah, who pulled out the cat teaser, sat down with satisfaction, and began to leisurely study what this thing was.

Eli: "..."

He looked back at the giant fur balls, flying saucers, and pet vests with the letters "Noah" in the bag, sighed, put the bag on top of the refrigerator, and wanted to give up before he even started up.

Towards evening, the rainstorm stopped, and the sky that had been dark for several days cleared up briefly. The gorgeous sunset dyed half of the clouds into a deep orange red, which was reflected on the calm water on the road, refracting the town into a Mirror world.

Eli, who has been closed for several days, can finally open for business.Residents in the small town have also held back at home long enough, filling up the bar early on, exchanging all kinds of gossip during the few days of isolation.Eli played jazz for them. Amidst the elegant music, the setting sun outside slanted into the dance floor. Several ladies in skirts were dancing leisurely with their dance partners. The beautiful scenery is included in the photos.

"The back of your bar is next to the stream and the entrance of the forest. Are you not afraid to live alone?" An unfamiliar man sat on the bar and tried to talk to Eli, "I've been uneasy recently, I heard Many dinosaurs began to migrate, and Sylvia Forest is one of their destinations, and there have been two traumatic incidents in our small town."

Eli looked at him calmly. He was wearing a fisherman's hat and glasses, and he was wearing casual clothes. There were wrinkles in his T-shirt, but he had tidied himself fairly cleanly, and he looked refined overall.

"Two?" Eli asked, "I think it's only one."

The man smiled, took a sip of his wine, and shook his head at him: "Didn't you notice that everyone in the bar was discussing dinosaurs today? The night before the typhoon came, a lady was attacked by an unknown creature on her way home." , the scene was said to be full of blood, and even the street lamp was knocked down by that thing, but it was strange that not only was she not eaten, but she was fine except for being bitten, and she cried all night after being sent to the hospital. It was a miracle to walk home."

Before the typhoon?

Eli first thought of the restless Tyrannosaurus rex in his house, but on second thought it seemed unlikely.At that time, Noah was far from being as old as he is now, and he was locked in the bedroom at night. It was unlikely to appear in the town, and it was unlikely to knock down the street lights.

"How can you be sure it's a dinosaur? Did that lady see it with her own eyes?"

"Speaking of which, it's even more strange." Seeing that he was interested, the man leaned closer, "She said that thing was very smart, and before the attack, it first broke the street lamp, and it couldn't be seen in the dark. , I just remember that it was powerful and its claws were sharp, and when the doctor bandaged her later, she thought her bite marks were like those of a dinosaur."

Eli frowned.

"Some of the dinosaurs that escaped from the Buhard Reserve were genetically modified, and they are much more powerful than ordinary dinosaurs. Not to mention that experts recently said that many dinosaurs have undergone secondary evolution. Maybe she encountered It's something not simple." The man said, "Have you lived by the forest for so long, haven't you found anything?"

A lot of thoughts raced through Eli's mind for a moment.He thought of the research results of his deceased father, and thought of Noah's possible source of identity, his subsequent placement, and the safety of this small town.He poured the mixed wine into the goblet, basically confirmed the man's identity, was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "It's been raining heavily for the past few days, I haven't gone out much, and I don't feel anything wrong place."

The man smiled and said, "That's good. I suggest you build a fence or something, so don't worry."

Eli thanked politely and delivered the wine to the customer who ordered.When passing through the crowd, he found that almost everyone was talking about dinosaurs. Henry, who hadn’t seen him for a few days, was sitting in the middle, drunk and half drunk, and said loudly, “My Jimmy was killed by that I was bitten by something, and it took me four hours to rescue it! I can't stay here anymore, I'm going to move to the city with my wife and children, who knows what else will come next..."

Surrounded by several circles of people who listened to gossip, they chatted non-stop while drinking. The atmosphere of the whole bar was a bit weird, and guests left the venue one after another before nine o'clock.

At 09:30, it began to rain lightly outside again, and a patrol car passed by outside the bar.Eli saw the bearded man who came to his bar once before, sitting alone in the darkest corner, did not order, brought his own whiskey, and drank silently by himself.This time, he didn't have any dirt on his body. He was wearing a suit similar to a camouflage uniform. His eyes suffering from cataracts stared at the crowd like a hawk, and his right hand was twitching on the table.

"Dragon hunters are forbidden to enter" didn't seem to have any effect on him, but he finally remembered the rules of the "Dinosaur Bar", and he didn't bring any more guns, but he put a dagger on his waist.

The man who was sitting at the bar just now seemed to be acquainted with him. After paying the bill, he walked up to him and sat down. They left the bar one after another, and before leaving, the bearded man hugged the man's waist.

Eli frowned and sent them to the door. The man who was about to leave suddenly stopped and looked up at the window sill. Eli followed his gaze. The window sill on the first floor was covered by the lights inside. It was brightly lit, and there was nothing on it.

The man obviously did what Eli saw, touched his nose, quickly looked away, and strode away.

The author has something to say:

Eli: Something doesn't feel right
