< Snow, Ice 3 >
Questions are useless.
To my excuse, the guy responded with a proper howl and a slap.
Even from my perspective, it seemed difficult to sum this up in one word, ‘misunderstanding.’
From a lizard perspective, I must have looked like a really bad guy.
It would take a considerable amount of time to explain, but in this situation, there are few people who would give you enough time, especially when the opponent is a lizard.
-Kyaaaa!
A guy who flies towards my head like a blue meteor, screaming.
It was like the blue Halley’s Comet I saw as a child.
That’s when the sight of the guy flying towards me grew bigger and bigger, and my eyes filled with blue.
“Little Dragon! It’s dangerous!”
With my sister’s scream, my body was pushed to the other side by my sister’s hand.
-Seeing.
It was a hair’s breadth.
A meteor that grazed my ear narrowly missed me, and as I was pushed by my sister’s hand and rolled on the floor with the lizard in my arms, I heard a loud noise from where I was.
-bang!
-Excellent corn.
Small pieces of rock fell down onto my face.
As I turned my head in surprise towards the direction where the rock fragments had landed, the thing that had thrown its body at me crashed down on one side of the rock and then shook its head and got up.
It feels like if the cracked rock had hit my head, it would have been a terrifying ending.
A chill ran down my spine and cold sweat soaked my entire body.
And while I was surprised and paused for a moment, the guy came to his senses and started crouching down.
Perhaps he was trying to fly again.
“Hey, wait!? I, I told you that’s not true. Let me talk first…”
I shouted at him urgently to calm down, but he never stopped.
The short hind legs of the creature, which had been curled up like springs, were about to straighten out again.
-Kkuku···.
A cute and lovely sound that rings from the chest.
As I looked down at my chest with surprised eyes, another cute sound came out of the mouth of the guy who was hugging me.
-Kkuuk···.
Then, the short legs of the fierce guy who had been crouching down towards me relaxed, and he responded with a cute and adorable sound, different from the sharp sound he had made until now.
-What?
A sound similar to the cute squeaking sound that geckos from a previous life sometimes make.
This is used to call the female and to let her know that he is angry, and the sound continues for a while as if the two are having a conversation.
-Kuk kuk kuk···.
-Kookkookook!
It felt like the two of them were having a conversation, and then the eyes of the guy in my arms slowly closed again.
Then, the alertness definitely lowered.
It was just as the guy let his guard down and took a step towards me.
Behind us, Peng Gaju and Dokmuldae appeared in a hurry, and their urgent voices continued.
“Are you okay!? That little guy is so vicious and quick. I never thought he’d slip through my legs.”
“Are you okay, Little Dragon?”
As the Peng family and the warriors ran in a panic, missing the guy, they approached the rock, and the guy started hissing like a cat again.
Especially, I feel disgusted when I see Peng Ga-ju.
-Kyahahaha!
The guy’s sharp and sensitive reactions.
First, I asked everyone except my sister and me to step back.
It felt like the timing was right for something to be resolved, but I felt like if I did it wrong, it would go back to square one.
“We’re fine, so please step back a bit. The guy seems anxious. Let me talk to him for a moment.”
“Are you okay? But what about the story? Does he understand what you say?”
“Yes, Peng Gaju. I don’t think he’ll attack us again, and I think he’ll understand what I’m saying to some extent.”
Then he spoke to the guy who was looking at us with an anxious expression.
“I’ll put this guy back on there. Just wait a minute. Don’t worry, I’m not trying to do anything bad.”
At my words, Peng Gaju led the warriors and retreated further back. The guy seemed to hesitate for a moment at my words, then jumped down the rock and dodged slightly to the side.
He was looking at me with anxious eyes, but I felt like he definitely understood what I was saying.
“Madam, could you please cut some dead grass over there?”
“What about the little dragon?”
He said that he was worried about leaving me and the lizard alone, and he looked at the guy who was watching us and said.
“He probably knows I helped his friend, so he probably won’t attack me. Right?”
-Wow!
The guy who turns his head sharply and gives me a warning when I ask him a question.
I approached the rock, keeping a careful eye on the guy.
And he swept away the broken pieces of stone.
It seems that there was originally a soft, sphagnum-like material underneath the rock, but now only a part of it remains.
Soon, I laid down the dry grass that my older sister had brought to make it softer, and placed the babies in my arms on top of it.
“Okay, that’s enough.”
Let’s put the guy down and step back a bit. The guy quickly came into the crevice of the rocks.
The guy started licking the other guy’s face, which wasn’t moving.

I don’t know if they are a couple or brothers, but they look affectionate.
I watched the two guys and then spoke carefully.
“I removed the crust that wouldn’t come off, and I also removed the thing covering the eye. For the time being, lick the eye well. This is to prevent the remaining inflammation from spreading. Do you understand what I mean?”
-Kukukuk!
Now, the guy who answered in a slightly obedient voice as if he understood and licked his eyelids.
He looked at the two guys, thought deeply, and then continued speaking.
I debated whether or not I should do it, but I felt like I had to do it anyway.
First, the inflammation in the eye was removed and the exfoliated skin was peeled off, but the treatment did not end there.
I’m not a vet so I don’t know the specifics, but usually, if the inflammation of the eye caused by the shedding skin has not yet hardened and turned into a hard stone, it can be easily cured on its own.
The reason I am confident that I will be cured to some extent is because of the know-how I have gained from raising various types of lizards. Even when the condition was more serious than mine, the animals had a high natural healing ability and were cured well.
But the guy’s biggest problem is that his tail is rotting away.
If left alone, the rotting parts would grow and eventually die.
In the end, I had to cut off the tail.
I said to the guy I named Bing, who was licking the sore spot.
“Your eyes will probably get better···.”
-Kuruk.
Then the guy starts making cute sounds again.
It was a cry that seemed to be a response to my words, as if she was saying thank you, but I was sorry that I had to tell her the bad news.
“But there’s a bad story. The tail seems to have rotted too much.”
As soon as I finished speaking, the guy opened his eyes wide in surprise and quickly checked the other guy’s tail.
The guy licked his tail vigorously after his eyes, but that wasn’t a problem that could be cured by licking it and disinfecting it.
“Half of its tail is already rotted away. I don’t think licking it like that will help.”
Then the guy started crying and shouting at me.
-Kyaaah!
I noticed yellow eyes that looked as if they were shedding tears.
If it were a person, it would be like shouting, ‘How do you know that! How do you know without trying!’
-Kkuk. Kkukku.
And then the guy who was lying down started to cry as if he was talking to the incense.
He seemed extremely disappointed, but I wasn’t finished talking.
He continued speaking cautiously to the guy.
“But you can fix the tail too.”
-Kahak!
As soon as I finished speaking, this guy made a face like, “You should have said it sooner, didn’t you startle the lizard?”
Even in his previous life, lizards were popular for their adorable expressions, but this guy’s expressions were really rich, like those of a human.
And when I said that it could be fixed, the guy moved to the side as if telling me to fix it quickly and made room for me.
It seemed like he was probably allowing the treatment, but I couldn’t help but say it to the guy with an apologetic expression.
“But I think I might have to cut off the tail···.”
-Huh?
A guy who blinks his big eyes when I tell him that his tail needs to be cut off.
The vertical stripes in the guy’s yellow eyes appeared and disappeared repeatedly.
“I think I need to cut off the tail.”
The guy’s blinking only stopped when I made it look like I was cutting his finger with scissors because I didn’t seem to understand him properly.
-Kyahaaak!
The guy flew into my face.
***
As the sun was setting, the light pouring down from the ceiling was gradually losing its vitality.
“Ouch, oh my… You ungrateful bastard.”
A face scratched by the guy’s claws and teeth marks on his nose.
When I joked that I was going to die from pain, my older sister said with a look of disappointment on her face.
“Little Dragon, try this. I’ll apply the gold ointment, but if I do it wrong, it’ll be a bad ointment.”
And my older sister who took it out and applied something like tiger ointment to it.
The head of the Peng family started to mutter without even being able to read the mood.
“Khehehe. You’re starting to become a bit more manly now. You’ve been acting like a woman before. You got some glorious scars while fighting, you know. Not from fighting people, though. Khehehe.”
Now that he has a scar, Peng Ga-ju, who is complaining that he will become more manly, looks at the distant mountains under his older sister’s cold gaze.
After glancing towards the direction of the Pangga family, he looked towards the lizards.
I can’t help but smile as I speak.
The reason I couldn’t help but smile even though I was joking with my sister was because, even though the guy ran at me and scratched and bit me when I told him to cut off the tail of the sick guy, he didn’t suffer any fatal injuries.
He was so ignorant that he could break a rock, but he scratched and bit me because he was being considerate.
Judging from the fact that the Wukongs in his arms didn’t react, it seems that he didn’t harbor any intention of killing.
So, even though it hurt a little, a smile came to my face.
‘What is this? Now I can say that half of it is mine.’
It was when I was entrusting my face to my older sister’s hands that were applying medicine.
“Little Dragon?”
“yes?”
The voice of the Great Lord of Gupae calling me.
When he turned his head in response to his call, the old man was pointing to a patch of grass on one side.
I turned my head wondering why, and a blue jewel was poking its head out from between the grass.
Now that he had gathered his wits, he slowly crawled towards me and bit the hem of my pants, pulling on them.
I told him to think carefully about it because he might get sick if he didn’t cut it off quickly, so I think he’s made up his mind.
“Okay, I got it.”
I quickly followed the guy and arrived in front of the rock, where he was still lying down just as I had laid him down.
He approached the guy and asked.
“I’m going to cut off your tails now. Can you tell me what you eat? If I cut off your tails, you’ll have to eat well. But I can’t see what you eat.”
Then, the guy who had been running in front of me started digging the ground next to the guy who was lying down, and he came running towards me with a bean-like thing in his mouth that had just sprouted.
“What is this? Are we supposed to eat this?”
Then I heard my sister’s voice from behind.
My older sister stroked the heads of the candles, incense, and Bin that she had given me and was raising, and spoke.
“Could you please check for a moment?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
My sister was examining something while holding the seeds the guy handed her.
After a while, my older sister handed me a bean and said.
“Although it is weak, the energy slowly seeping out is definitely the seed of the spirit plant that was growing here. Could it be that these children are also eating this energy like the Wukongs?”
Of course, I was thinking based on my previous life’s standards, but it would make sense if I could absorb energy or qi directly like Wukong.
Then, the head of the Peng family, who had followed behind, nodded and said.
“I’ve certainly heard that story before. They say that around precious herbs, there are spirits that feed on the energy and grow.”
No, I looked at him with an expression that said, “Why are you saying that now?” Peng Gaju scratched his head and answered.
“Hehe, now you remember what?”
‘Well, it’s fortunate that I don’t forget my daughter’s name.’
After living together for a few days, I realized that Pangga is a very hopeless person.
A thought that suddenly occurred to me when I was nodding my head wondering where I was thinking of just now.
“Then, if I dig this up, isn’t that a big deal!?”
He said with a serious expression that he was worried that they had dug up the food for the lizards and that they should plant it again quickly, but the head of the Pang family shook his head.
“It probably won’t grow any further.”
“Yes? Why?”
“They say that once a seed has been touched by human hands, it will never grow again. That guy must have shown that by not digging it up. That seed will never grow any further than that.”
Ah… After hearing this explanation, our blue lizards are like poor squirrels who have been robbed of their acorns in the fall.
It seemed that the soldiers were barely surviving by eating the energy coming from the sprouted seeds that remained after the soldiers stole the yin yang.
‘I’m sorry, humans, guys!’
It was time to give the guy an apologetic look on behalf of humanity.
The question that Peng Gaju asks is heard.
“But what was the name of the herb that grew here?”
“I remember what the military said, ‘Seolsam.’”
“Snow ginseng… Then it must be a cold energy. Then, instead of snow ginseng, I need to find something that has the same energy.”
“Oh! Is there something like that?”
Peng Ga-ju’s explanation that there is no law that says you have to die, but there is a substitute.
He nodded in response to my question.
“Yes. It’s called Bingok (Ice Jade).”
“Oh, then that’s all I need to get!?”
A problem that seems like it could be solved cleanly if you just find something called Bingok.
But Peng Gaju held his chin and responded with a serious expression.
“That’s not such a simple matter. Bing-ok is extremely rare and extremely expensive. It’s something that’s not easy to obtain even if you have money.”
As expected, it is a rare species and it costs a lot to eat it.
As I was wondering what to do, I heard my older sister’s voice next to me.
“I know someone who has a jadeite.”
As expected, it was my older sister.
