Luo Binhan looked carefully at the lizard in the painting. The protagonist, despite being called the Lizard, wears a rather elegant suit with a ruby button at the collar. He didn't know what interstellar standards were, but in his hometown it wasn't what a police officer should wear. The creature was also wearing a pair of strangely appropriate suit pants, and a long, downy tail that was undoubtedly not reptilian protruded from the back. It also has a pair of moist eyes that are extremely humane, and it has its left hand in the pocket of its coat.
It wasn't really a lizard, and it wasn't even like the lizards Luo Binhan had seen. However, since the text next to it has stated so, Luo Binhan does not intend to go against this album. He continued to scroll down and saw the lizard policeman walking in the forest with a red cloth on his head.
To the right of this page, he saw a forest background of the same hue. A man with a saw was walking towards the gap in the pages. He and Mr. Lizard on the previous page were walking towards each other, and they seemed to be in the same forest. The text below these two pages reads:
Mr. Lizard dressed himself as Little Red Riding Hood and walked deep into the forest every day. He believed the murderer would show up again. Suddenly, a young carpenter appeared in front of him. "Where are you going?" the carpenter asked in a dull voice. Mr. Lizard replied in a high voice: "I'm going to visit grandma." The carpenter gave him a small wooden sword painted white, and they became good friends.
After Luo Binhan read this page, he found that there was a buckle bag hanging under the carpenter's saw, with a small sword hilt exposed from the bag mouth.
"The carpenter's outfit looks familiar," ∈ offered his opinion, "He is the carpenter from the previous story, isn't he? Their clothes are exactly the same."
Luo Binhan flipped back through the album and found that ∈'s claim was indeed well founded. When he wanted to agree, he said: "No, no, no, wait, wait a minute, I will change my guess! This mystery must be combined with words! Did the word just say 'young carpenter'? This is not like It’s for casual use! I think it’s the last carpenter’s son.”
"Are you sure?" Luo Binhan said disapprovingly, "Why does a carpenter's son have to be a carpenter?"
"Because they live in the mountains!" ∈ replied triumphantly. "There must be no neighbors around, right? The kid had to continue to be a carpenter because there was no other trade for him to learn. And look at what's written here? 'Steady voice', that must be because he has a heart made of wood!"
Now the rudder began to perform an exaggerated dance of using both hands and feet, as if to show off its victory. Luo Binhan began to rub his head - he admitted that he was not good at riddles, brain teasers or other puzzle games. Although he felt that ∈'s guess was not that reliable, he could not come up with a better idea.
"Look what's behind!" ∈ urged, "That will definitely prove that I'm right!"
Luo Binhan turned another page. He soon screamed along with ∈. He was surprised, and ∈ was more like a cheer of victory. On this page, there is still a picture of a lizard policeman wearing a red turban, with a beautiful wooden box containing matches hanging on his chest. Walking towards him is a hunter holding a bow and arrow. The hunter wore a pair of bright red shoes, a hair scarf, and a trousers skirt. She was undoubtedly a young woman. ∈I jumped directly onto the book and added a big green halo to her.
"See?" he said, "Of course I'm right, my database knows how to decipher this kind of riddle! I can generate ten thousand new ones according to this template! Do you want to see it?"
Luo Binhan took the book out from under him and began to read the text under the picture:
The next day, Mr. Lizard dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood again, put on the small wooden sword given by the carpenter, and walked on the road deep into the forest. He still believes that the murderer will appear again. Suddenly, a young hunter appeared in front of him. "Where are you going?" the hunter asked in a wary voice. Mr. Lizard replied in a high voice: "I'm going to visit grandma." The hunter gave him a map. She became his mentor.
"Are they more than just good friends now?" Luo Binhan said. He didn't have any opinion on the matter, it was just an unconscious muttering. Somehow the album began to make him uncomfortable.
"I guess the next one is the farmer." ∈ said lazily, "The order is 5234, a symmetry that approaches the center."
But this time he guessed wrong. When Luo Binhan turned to the next page, they saw a young man carrying a basket of herbs walking toward the Lizard Police. The text below the picture reads:
On the third day, Mr. Lizard followed the map and walked deep into the forest. Suddenly, a herbalist appeared in front of him. "Where are you going?" the herbalist asked in a gentle voice. Mr. Lizard replied in a high voice: "I'm going to visit grandma." The herbalist gave him a handful of wolfsbane. That’s Mr. Vegetarian Lizard’s favorite thing to eat! They became uniquely close friends.
"Oh, my unique friend?" ∈ said against Luo Binhan's shoulder, "This is a bit frivolous, isn't it? It's just a handful of grass!"
Luo Binhan turned to the next page expressionlessly. What greeted them was no surprise, it was a chance encounter between the lizard policeman and the farmer. It can be said that they read the words under the picture with familiarity.
On the fourth day, Mr. Lizard ate his lunch and walked deep into the forest. Suddenly, a farmer appeared in front of him. "Where are you going?" the farmer asked in a serious voice. Mr. Lizard replied in a high voice: "I'm going to visit grandma." The farmer said: "Be careful of snakes in the grass." He gave Mr. Lizard nothing and drove Mr. Lizard out of the forest. Mr. Lizard hated farmers from then on.
Luo Binhan couldn't help but laugh. He somehow felt a little satisfied from this episode, even though he had no grudge against the lizard policeman. At this time, he discovered that the unread pages of the book he was holding in his right hand were so thin that there were only a few left. There is not much time left for this Upsilon colleague. He turned to the next page and saw the Lizard Police standing in front of the crowd. The text below reads:
After painstaking investigation, Mr. Lizard summoned all the residents near the forest. "I know who the murderer is!" he announced. "Who is it?" residents asked one after another. So Mr. Lizard stretched out his dark left hand in his pocket and pointed at his best and unique friend. "The herbalist is the murderer!" he said. "He was turned into a wolf. He ate Little Red Riding Hood."
"Nonsense," the herbalist said. "If I were the murderer, how could I give you your favorite food?" "That is the evidence." Mr. Lizard said, "If you didn't see through my disguise, how could you give it to you?" My favorite food! I pretended to be a human girl perfectly! Only the wolf's sense of smell can detect me!"
The herbalist's eyes shot out a terrifying light. He took off his clothes and sprouted thick hair all over his body. His voice became rough and scary. "We are best friends!" he shouted, "like Little Red Riding Hood and I!" and they started fighting. The herbalist turned into a wolf and was fast and fierce, but Mr. Lizard jumped up the tree and threw branches and acorns at him out of the wolf's reach. "How can you climb so high!" the wolf growled.
"Can't you figure this out?" said Mr. Lizard. "I was once a human being. I was cursed and deformed, just like you!"
However, the wolf laughed at him. "You are wrong," said the wolf. "You are a cursed ape. Your tail is exposed. You only pretend to be human!"
Mr. Lizard was shocked. He quickly tried to hide his tail, but fell from the tree. The wolf pounced on him and bit his throat. At the same time, Mr. Lizard also grabbed the small sword given to him by the carpenter and pierced the wolf's heart. In this way they perished together. The carpenter was heartbroken after witnessing the death of his best friend. His heart made of wood was broken, and a steady stream of tears flowed from it. The tears accumulated more and more, until they flooded the whole world, and the savings became a vast ocean! A voice came from the depths of the ocean, saying: "Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! This is just a dream!"
ah! That was the sound of the sea serpent. The fish woke up one after another and found that they had been dreaming of the forest. It turns out that Little Red Riding Hood was not eaten, and Mr. Lizard was not dead either! They had illusory dreams, which were a ploy by the fishermen to lure the sea serpent. But the plan was discovered by the resourceful sea snake. Now everything has passed, and the world under the sea is gorgeous and colorful, like a beautiful garden. The fish swam around together and sang happily.
Luo Binhan looked at the last page of the album in silence. The fiery red seaweed reflected in his eyes, causing him intense dizziness and headache. He raised his head and glanced at ∈, which was twitching like an epilepsy.
"What do you think?" he said.
∈ began to act hysterically, rolling on the floor and ceiling in turns.
"The ending of the dream is illegal!" Luo Binhan heard him scream, "It's illegal! It's illegal! Arrest the author of this book!"
