Chapter 37 Chapter 37
After seeing that sentence, Anxius was stunned for a long time.
The lamb tilted its head to look at him, and when it got no response, it was about to continue typing. However, before it could even lift its hoof, it was grabbed by the monster's claws and held tightly.
He held Yumi against his chest, and the smell of medicine became more pronounced. He moved his nose and confirmed that he was really sick, so he patted him with his hoof to comfort him.
The monster's heart beat fast.
After a while, the monster leaned slightly sideways in comfort, still holding him.
Yumi, who was nestling in the monster's arms, began to feel uneasy because of this little noise. He was so small now, what if Ansius turned over and forgot about him, wouldn't he be crushed to death?
As soon as this thought began to spread, the four hooves began to tremble. After the lamb finished trembling, he quickly shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay. When they were in the continent of Rhea, Ansius often wrapped him like this to sleep. Don't worry, don't think too much."
He didn't know that the monster was still awake.
Ansius lowered his eyes and watched the lamb shaking its hooves, then turning over in his arms with its hooves raised...
After a while, the monster hugged the sleeping lamb and took a breath. Finally, he closed his eyes and had a rare good sleep.
Back in the palace, the emperor stayed awake all night.
Hearing that Ansius had been frequently looking for ways to restore his human form recently, he always felt it was strange, so strange that he couldn't sleep.
It is normal for ordinary people to want to restore their human form after becoming disabled, but for Anxius, this is a bit abnormal.
When he first became disabled, when he asked the queen to help him find a solution, Ansius's reaction was always cold. Not only did he not cooperate, he even looked down on him... Why is he suddenly so enthusiastic about this now?
Could it be that he discovered what happened back then...
No, he must be overthinking it.
Perhaps it was the current situation that made Ansius feel the crisis and realize the importance of human form.
…
In the next two days, Yumi devoted himself to distance learning with the professors of the Imperial College, and he quickly mastered the basic skills and knowledge. Seeing that he was learning well, Ansius asked Carl to take Yumi to Bruel for one-on-one practice as planned.
The day before sending Xiaoyang to the black market for class, Carl learned that Yumi had awakened a skill. He was surprised for a while, but then he realized that there was nothing to be surprised about - Yumi's skill really looked too harmless.
However, since it was related to Yumi's skills, Carl couldn't just stand by and watch, so he followed Ansius's arrangement and sent him there in the morning and picked him up at a certain time in the evening.
With Brewer here, Yumi is safe.
After all, he was going to school, so Yumi brought a few books with him and put them all in the backpack on his back.
He got off the starship and walked into the shop when Bruer was drinking tea. He glanced at him and suddenly spat out a mouthful of tea.
The lamb carrying a schoolbag dodged in time and bleated in confusion.
Bruer looked at the lamb with a schoolbag in front of him with a helpless smile, shook his head, stood up and took him to the basement.
Yumi's book was not used, but Bruel took down his schoolbag and used it as a temporary sheepskin: "Keep this thing for you to sleep on when you are tired."
Yumi: “…Mee-mee-mee.” He is here to study, not sleep.
"I know, I know. You're just a little lamb, but you're quite talkative." Bruer sat down in front of him, shaking his head and closing his eyes. "Now, you do whatever I say... Just follow me and close your eyes..."
The lamb immediately crossed its legs and lay down, closing its eyes.
Bruer was teaching him to control his thoughts, and Yumi followed suit. Gradually, just as Bruer said, he found a small golden circle in front of his eyes.
"The bigger the circle, the better you can control your skill," Brewer said. "See the gold circle?"
Little Lamb: “Baa!” I see!
Brewer: "Practice carefully for a while. The golden circle that most people see for the first time is very small, probably only the size of a thumb. After a while, when you look at it again, will it be bigger?"
The lamb pursed his lips and said nothing.
Yumi felt that the golden circle in front of him was only as big as a sesame seed. He practiced seriously for a while, and finally it became the size of two sesame seeds!
The lamb nodded repeatedly in surprise.
Bruer opened his eyes and saw the lamb nodding its head back and forth. He went over and grabbed the lamb's head with all his strength. It felt really good, very fluffy and not prickly at all.
Yumi let the teacher pinch her forehead.
The naive lamb thought that this was a transmission of telekinesis, and every time Teacher Bruer touched his head, he would close his eyes seriously.
When the lamb became proficient in practice, Bruer carried him upstairs and let him practice on his own while he lay in the boss chair, watching the news and waiting for customers to come.
Before, Yumi had been staying obediently in the basement, but now that he had free time, the lamb's four legs started jumping around as if they were itchy. After jumping for a while, he noticed that Bruer was glancing at him, so he quickly stopped moving, hung his head, and looked like he was saying, "Teacher, I was wrong."
Bruer knew that this kind of sheep was quite lively and active, so he said with a smile: "Just play around, there's no one living down there anyway, so you won't disturb anyone."
But Yumi blushed when he heard this. He was not here to play, he was here to study.
So he jumped lightly around for a while, then began to practice his mind power seriously with his head down.
Today's goal is to make the golden circle the size of three sesame seeds! Come on, Yumi.
After a while, Bruer felt that it was very quiet around him. He lowered his head and looked around. He soon found the lamb practicing seriously with its hooves raised in the corner. He immediately laughed.
When the lamb opened his eyes again, Bruel advised: "Take a rest. You need to combine work and rest."
Yumi nodded, dropping down on the wooden floor next to him.
...You are so well behaved.
Bruer couldn't help but stroke the lamb's head with his wings. The lamb immediately looked up at him, then lowered its head and continued to lie down.
Bruer grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and asked him, "Do you want to eat some?"
Lamb: “…Mee.” No, the sheep’s mouth is not convenient, thank you.
Bruer chatted with him while eating sunflower seeds: "Have you ever thought about returning to your hometown?"
Yumi was stunned and stumped by this question.
Bruer used his wings to push the computer towards him, obviously wanting to have a good chat with him.
Yumi had no choice but to lift his hoof and type: There is no one left in my hometown.
It was true that no one lived in his fake hometown, the Black Miasma Wasteland, and the world he originally lived in had already come to an end and he could not go back.
Now he just wants to settle down here and live a good life.
Bruer nodded and wanted to chat with him for a while. Then the computer started ringing. He took a look and answered it, pointing the camera at himself: "What's the matter?"
Anxius on the other side frowned and looked at the screen for a while, then asked, "Where's Yumi?"
"...I knew you wouldn't call me if nothing happened. You're here with me, are you so worried?" He said that, but still moved the camera towards the lamb.
When the lamb heard that the person was looking for him, he stood up straight and raised his hoof to greet Antheus: "Baa..."
Seeing that Xiao Yang was in good condition, Anxius on the screen seemed to smile. After Brewer moved the camera back, he hung up the phone.
Bruer: “?”
He was so angry that he cursed: "What do you mean? Am I your grandpa ugly? It's because I have a good temper. If it were someone else, I would have beaten you up long ago!"
After saying that, he turned around and saw the lamb with a shocked look on his face.
Yumi was extremely shocked. He had never thought that Bruel had this identity. Ansius's grandfather? He must be a member of the royal family...but why was he here?
Bruel didn't think he had said anything extraordinary. Instead, he thought the lamb's expression was funny: "I didn't know a lamb's expression could be so rich?"
"Meh..." Is this the point?
Bruer stretched and said, "Are you wondering why I am here? There is nothing strange about it. Sometimes it is a blessing to be away from the royal family."
When Yumi heard that it was related to the royal family, he immediately suppressed his ears, but unfortunately he couldn't block out the voices. Seeing that Bruel didn't care at all, he was silent for a while, then he couldn't help but be curious and typed with his hooves: Are you really Ansius's grandfather? Why is the relationship so distant?
"Unfamiliar?" Bruer tilted his head and glared at him. He seemed to find this sentence very interesting. He bent down, carried the lamb to the table and touched his forehead. "How is he unfamiliar? He has never been able to kiss or hug his relatives since he was a child. The level between him and me is already very good."
lamb:"……"
"Don't disbelieve me. Anxius is the first Snaman born from Sna with his own skills. Although he has the emperor's blood, he is different from Joseph, who was conceived by the queen. He has been responsible for fighting since he was a child. After he was able to live independently, he has been training in various bases and is rarely with his parents... His understanding of family affection is different from that of ordinary people. Compared with parents, I think he and the emperor are more like colleagues... You think we are strangers, but in fact, he and I are the most harmonious relatives."
Yumi's ears could no longer be suppressed, and she wanted to raise her hooves to cover her ears: ...Can I say these to him?
Doesn't he know too many secrets?
Seeing what he was thinking, Bruer laughed: "Antheus can even let you know about his disability, so what can't I tell you about this? If you want to know anything else, ask me and I'll tell you."
Yumi: “…”
The lamb was petrified for a while, but continued to practice on his own, occasionally worrying about the purchase of horns here... Bruer seemed to have a big mouth?
"Oh, it's time for lunch!" The old man stretched and stood up. "I'll go outside to buy lunch. What do you want to eat? The lamb skewers over there are delicious. Do you want to try them?"
Lamb: “…Baa!”
Looking at the sheep's misty and angry eyes, Bruel smiled again: "Okay, then I'll come back and pick some tender grass on the roadside for you as a snack... I'm going to go out first, you stay here and be good, don't run around."
Of course Yumi wouldn't run around. As soon as Bruer left, he began to review seriously.
After practicing his mental power for a while, he began to jump around to vent his sheep's energy. His four hooves were very powerful. Once he jumped directly onto Bruer's chair, which surprised himself.
Great jumping ability.
Feeling thirsty during play, Youmi took out his own basin from his schoolbag and went to the water dispenser to get some water.
After Brewer knew that the lamb would be taking classes at his place, he changed the settings of the water dispenser and reinstalled a very low button.
The lamb placed the basin at the corresponding water outlet of the water dispenser and pressed the button with one hoof.
The water came out with a splash.
Putting down his hoof, Yumi immediately lowered his head to lick the water. After a lick, he frowned and stuck out his tongue. After a moment, he licked again tentatively...
"Meh!" Sure enough, it was wrong! It wasn't water, it was wine!
Bruer is a big alcoholic. He actually puts alcohol in the water dispenser!
The lamb stuck out his tongue and looked up at the water outlet. He then realized that there were actually three water outlets. Two of them were labeled with hot water and cold water respectively, while the outlet he had just connected to had no label...
Pouring out the wine in the basin, Youmi placed the basin under the cold water mark. This time, he took a little water to rinse the basin, then took another little to taste it. After confirming that it was water, he nodded with satisfaction.
Yumi wasn't very hungry. Carl had put a lot of grains and hay suitable for sheep in his schoolbag. He only ate a few mouthfuls symbolically and stopped eating. He felt a little dizzy and his nose was red. It was obvious that the two sips of wine were too strong. The little sheep couldn't bear it. He jumped dizzily to Brewer's boss chair and lay down to rest.
The boss chair rocked gently, and it was quite comfortable to sleep in. The little lamb lay on his back with his eyes closed.
A few minutes later, there was a slight noise outside the door, the sound of the door lock being pried open.
However, Yumi was drunk at this time and didn't notice it. She was sleeping soundly on the recliner.
A minute later, the door lock was pried open.
A man with mouse ears quietly walked in. He looked around and turned to see the lamb on the recliner. He was so scared that he shivered and pointed at the artificial limb on the cabinet and pretended to be a customer: "Boss, how much is the artificial limb?"
Are there guests coming?
Yumi bleated in a daze. He was not the boss and could not sell.
The man took a look and found that it was just an animal that could not talk. He breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out to call his companions in.
This person just came in to test the waters, and now he used gestures to tell his companions that there was no one else inside except a sheep.
They had been quietly watching the store for a long time, and only pried the lock open after the owner came out.
As soon as the two thieves entered the house, they searched through the drawers and cabinets for cash. When they couldn't find any, they didn't rush and went straight to take the valuable prosthesis, paying no attention to the drunk lamb on the recliner.
They made so much noise that Yumi was soon woken up and opened her eyes to look over.
What are these two people doing, sneaking around...
Isn't this stealing?!
The lamb froze, and immediately cried out urgently, "Baa!"
The two thieves ignored the lamb, but moved faster after hearing its bleating.
Although Yumi's beautiful photos have spread all over the Snare Star, he is just a sheep now. The thief certainly would not mistake this dumb sheep for the recently popular superstar Yumi.
One of the fatter thieves was going to look for more valuable beast prostheses inside, but the other thief looked at Yumi who was about to call the police and said, "Take the sheep with you. This kind of pet sheep is quite valuable... We can sell it when we run out of money."
? !
Not only do you want to steal things, but you also want to steal them and sell them?
Yumi was furious. He raised his hoof to speed up his search for the computer, but the thief was faster and reached out to grab him...
At the critical moment, the lamb lowered its head and made an attacking gesture, while shouting, "Help!"
In an instant, both the thief and he were shocked by the word "Help".
The two thieves immediately looked around, as if they thought there was someone else in the house...
At this moment, an iron cage fell from the sky and covered the stunned lamb.
The lamb and the two thieves looked at each other.
The fatter thief reacted first and rushed over to catch the sheep to kill it, but when he touched the cage, he was immediately electrocuted and convulsed. The other thief thought his companion was butted by the sheep and went over to teach the lamb a lesson... but he was also electrocuted a few seconds later.
Yumi looked at the cage that protected her in amazement, wiping the non-existent sweat with her hooves. It was really scary.
While the two thieves were twitching, the lamb walked to the edge of the iron cage angrily and spat.
If I wasn't worried that the iron cage would shock me, I would definitely give them a couple of hooves.
Just as the two thieves were about to get up in a daze, the tightly closed door creaked open.
Bruer, who was standing in the shadows, chuckled and walked in with a box of vegetable salad: "Are there guests?"
"!"You're finally back!
Yumi jumped up with joy, tears welling up from her eyes. Her legs were stretched straight. Just as she was about to explain to him how complicated the situation was, she felt a strong wind. Bruel frowned and swung his huge wings to slam the two thieves against the wall. "It's bad enough that you stole from my store, but you also want to steal my lamb. You're courting death!"
"...No, no!" The two thieves knelt down and begged for mercy. "We are only here to buy artificial limbs. If you don't believe me, go ask this little sheep...Ah!"
This time, Bruer took direct action and slapped them hard a few times. Without saying anything more to them, he turned around and went out to make a phone call.
Not long after, two black market managers came to the store. They had already learned the whole story over the phone. They glanced at Bruer and Xiaoyang, confirmed that no one was injured, and left with the thief.
Bruer went to the door to see it off. The lamb was still in the cage. He only saw two managers whispering something to the old man. Bruer smiled and nodded.
When Bruer came back and closed the door, Yumi couldn't wait to show off her progress: "I, I can speak now!"
Bruer was not surprised. Not long ago, he had seen the other party shouting for help through the surveillance footage on the computer. Even if there was no cage, he would rush back in time.
"Hurry up and check if anything else is missing!" Yumi only remembered that she was drunk and a thief came. She licked her red nose and said, "There was wine in your water dispenser. I accidentally drank a little and I seem to be drunk. I wonder if there are other thieves who have been here..."
"No." Bruer raised the cage, squatted down and touched his head, "Are you scared this time?"
The lamb shook his head and looked at him with a smile: "It's all right now... I can speak now, can I change back next?"
Looking at the smiling face of the lamb, Bruer finally understood why Antheus was so nervous about him. Not to mention Antheus, even for him, after only spending a day together, Bruer could not tolerate others bullying the lamb.
"Yes, take your time." As he spoke, Bruel's brain lit up with new information. He glanced at it and chuckled, "Little Lamb, I have another good news for you. I will take you to the police station to receive a commendation later."
What?
Yumi's face was full of question marks.
Bruer said: "Those two thieves have used their special stealing skills to steal from many stores in the past month. Now that you have caught the thieves, you should commend them."
Yumi shook her head: "I didn't catch it." Not only did she not catch it, it was almost stolen and sold.
"You caught him," Bruer said plausibly. "If you hadn't come, I wouldn't have set up this device to protect the lamb. Without this device, the thief wouldn't have been stunned. So, it's you who caught the thief, no problem."
...Is it still possible?
"Forget it, I'm not going. You go." Feeling guilty, he refused to go.
The lamb lay down and played with its hooves. After a while, it was rolled into a ball and picked up by Bruel with a loving face: "Go, you must go!" How could he not want his own child to receive a certificate?
Two hours later.
Several store managers who came out to stretch their legs in the black market suddenly saw Bruer, who was selling prosthetic limbs, coming back from outside. Unlike before when he was always alone, this time Bruer was proudly holding a little white sheep.
The lamb kept its head down, seeming a little shy.
The shop owners were stunned.
They all looked at the red ribbon on the lamb, on which was printed a line of golden words:
【A hero who catches thieves, a role model for the little sheep. 】
“…”
