Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 447 Super Polite Little Monkeys

They didn't walk too far. When they reached the bend of the path next to them, Chen Ying pulled Dao Meihua up the slope beside the road and hid behind the arrow bamboo bushes to observe the mother and son.

The mother monkey kept looking in the direction where Chen Ying and the others left. After a long while, she let go of her hand and let the little monkey get the fruit to eat.

The movement here did not attract the attention of the monkeys on the opposite side of the small waterfall, but when the little monkey ate the third fruit, three little monkeys who were practicing climbing saw it, and rushed over with squeaking sounds, trying to snatch the food from its hand.

The mother monkey did not stop the three of them from doing this, but she was also very vigilant and paying attention to her children.

It is normal for monkeys to fight over food, and all monkeys have gone through this step.

The little monkey has reached the age where it can play and frolic with other monkeys of the same age. Sooner or later, it will need to leave its mother's care and learn to find food with its companions.

The little monkey was holding the fruit in his hand and putting one in his mouth. When he saw the three monkeys running over, he hurried back to his mother.

There were still two fruits and a few pistachios left in the leaf plate.

The largest monkey took the two fruits, thought about it, and gave one to the smallest one.

The monkey who didn't get the fruit cried out in displeasure and even wanted to tear off the leaf plate to vent his anger.

The big monkey bared its teeth and shouted at it loudly. Then the monkey took a step back and squatted down obediently.

The monkey picked up the plate, and the fallen pistachios rolled to the sulking monkey. It subconsciously reached out to grab them and put them in its mouth, thus learning the shelling technique without any instruction.

The processed pistachios are delicious. The monkey's eyes suddenly lit up and he ran to the ground to pick up the fallen pistachios.

The monkey was very smart. He discovered the clue from the pistachio's behavior, quickly snatched two of them and stuffed them into his mouth. He was so excited that he wanted to exchange the fruit he had taken a bite of for a pistachio.

But the little monkey was not happy. He could pick the fruit normally, but he had never eaten this before. Only a fool would change it!
The two bigger monkeys ran away fighting and leaving the smallest monkey completely confused.

It glanced at its little monkey brother hiding in its mother's arms, ran over and grabbed his arm to pick lice for him.

The little monkey wanted to refuse, but the mother monkey stuffed it to the little monkey and sat down in a higher position.

The confused little monkey looked at his mother's ruthless back with his big eyes, and finally had to be held in the mother's arms and flipped over.

It seems that it is not unacceptable and it is quite comfortable!

While having its fur turned over and chewing fruit, the little monkey squinted his big eyes happily in basking in the early summer sunset.

Chen Ying and the others waited for a while, but indeed did not see any white golden monkeys appear. As it was getting late, they decided to go back first and try their luck again tomorrow.

After walking for more than half an hour, we returned to the inn and the owner had already prepared dinner.

We had dinner on the platform on the first floor, where we could enjoy the view of the forest under the setting sun.

There are not many people traveling this season, and the scenic area here is very large. Many people like to go to the Tianshengqiao Scenic Area, which is a tourist area for leisure, adventure and sightseeing, featuring strange caves, strange bridges, strange waterfalls and strange pools. It is newly built and very suitable for ordinary tourists.

Jinhouling is more popular among explorers and scientific research bloggers.

There is a golden monkey observation point at the Dalongtan within the Jinhouling area, which is also where they are going this time.

There is also a Spiral Canyon near Dalongtan. No one has dared to cross it so far. It is said that there may be creatures unknown to the outside world in the canyon.

Chen Ying didn't know whether it was true or not, but he heard from his teacher that he had gone there once when he was young and walked around the periphery for a whole day and almost couldn't go back. After that, no one dared to go deep into that area.

It’s not that the miasma and magnetic field are affecting the canyon like in Ailao Mountain, but this canyon is simply too steep.

There are towering ancient trees, rugged cliffs, and blade-shaped cliffs that are arranged in circles, so it is called a spiral circle.

Because the Grand Canyon is so deep that you can't see the bottom of it, and there is a dark river flowing inside the canyon, it has always been called a mysterious place, as famous as Lop Nur and Bermuda.

It is precisely because the environment and ecosystem here are different from the outside world and albino animals are abundant, so it is also a holy place in the hearts of scientific researchers in the animal world.

The mainstream view in the circle is that the dense forests here block out the sun, hindering the synthesis of melanin, which is why there are so many albino animals.

But no one dares to make a final conclusion as to what exactly is going on. We can only rely on the tireless research of generations in the hope of solving this mystery as soon as possible.

At night, they fell asleep to the sound of rustling leaves, and the pure white noise allowed them to have a very high-quality sleep.

After watching the sunrise the next morning, the two of them took some food and prepared to wait at the small waterfall again.

As soon as I walked out of the inn, I met seven young people coming in one after another.

From what they said, it seemed like they were all college students who had made an appointment online to come together and play.

Chen Ying glanced at them and said nothing. He helped Dao Meihua carry the heavy photographic equipment and walked towards the observation deck.

There are more monkeys here in the morning, and they are divided into two groups.

Chen Ying recognized the three Monkey Brothers from yesterday at a glance.

The three little monkeys were guarding the observation deck, staring at the empty surroundings.

The mother monkey with her cubs didn't come today, maybe she took her baby to find food somewhere else. Chen Ying saw the three monkey brothers fighting over pistachios yesterday, so when he came today, he brought some more, including pistachios, pecans, and dried figs brought by Dao Meihua.

After making the leaf plate in advance and putting the dried fruits in it, he carefully approached the three monkey brothers and put the leaf plate on the ground in front of them.

Although the three monkey brothers were greedy, they were still very cautious. When Chen Ying approached, the three of them ran to a higher tree and sat down. They did not approach him tentatively until his back disappeared around the bend.

The second child was the bravest. He reached out and grabbed a hickory nut, bit it open easily, ate two bites, and then spit it out, then went on to eat the pistachios.

The smallest one looked at the wrinkled dried figs curiously, put them into its mouth tentatively, and started shouting in delight at how delicious they were.

This time, it attracted not only the two brothers, but also other monkeys that had been paying attention nearby for a long time.

A young male monkey rushed over and wanted to take the plate away with him.

The three brothers were unhappy and cried for help. In an instant, the place was surrounded by a group of monkeys.

Seeing this, the greedy male monkey had no choice but to give up the fruits on the ground, picked up two and ran away.

In the end, the three brothers were not able to eat one more.

Chen Ying and Dao Meihua were peeking from behind the arrow bamboo bushes, laughing so hard that their stomachs ached, but they didn't dare make any loud noise.

Just when they were about to go back, the seven people from before also came over.

They did not notice the two people hiding in the bamboo forest, and walked towards the observation deck, talking and laughing.

The monkeys who were fighting for food heard the noise and immediately scattered.

"Oh, there are so many monkeys, and some people are feeding them. Let's feed them too."

These people came prepared, but most of the food they brought were human snacks, such as bread, cakes, biscuits, and even Wahaha.

There was another guy who was even more bizarre. He actually tore open a bag of spicy strips and put them on a disposable paper plate.

Should we say they are thoughtful or just stupid?
Seeing this scene, Chen Ying couldn't help but come out to stop them from feeding the animals randomly.

Bread, cakes and biscuits are okay, and milk and drinks are barely drinkable, but are you serious about spicy strips?

When I got closer, I saw that in addition to the spicy strips, there were also peeled jellies and small bags of dried fish.

Those who know don’t understand, and those who don’t think they are planning to have a picnic here.

"Monkeys can't eat these things. You can take the spicy strips away. Golden monkeys have never eaten these. If something goes wrong, where can you let them find a doctor?"

After hearing Chen Ying's question, the student who opened the spicy strips wanted to argue, but the other two male classmates stopped him and decisively put away the things that Chen Ying said were not suitable for feeding.

In fact, they are quite well-mannered. They carry garbage bags with them and put the unpacked packages and recycled food into the garbage bags and tie them to their backpacks.

Chen Ying did not question these young students about their mistakes. Seeing that they really liked golden monkeys, he simply stayed and explained to them knowledge about the habits of golden monkeys.

After all, he was a man known as a great virtue, and when he was explaining something to a few classmates, a young female monkey quietly approached him, squatted on the nearest railing, and stretched out her hand to him eagerly.

Chen Ying was stunned for a moment, then waved towards Dao Meihua helplessly.

"Dao Bo, give me a bag of figs."

Instead of giving it the whole bag, Chen Ying only gave it two small ones.

Dried figs are only the size of pecans, and the two given to the little female monkey were probably only as big as the thumb nail.

After all, this is human food. It's okay to try it occasionally, but you can't eat too much at one time, as it may cause stomach upset.

Seeing the little female monkey getting the delicious food, the younger monkeys all gathered around, but they didn't dare to get too close. They stayed about two meters apart. If these people made any move, they would disperse instantly.

I don’t know if they have this habit normally, but after a while, those young monkeys actually lined up and approached Chen Ying one by one to ask for food.

But the problem was that there were about 20 to 30 young monkeys in these two groups, and the figs in his hand were not enough to distribute them. Seeing that the bag was empty, and there were still seven or eight well-behaved monkeys at the back, Chen Ying didn't know what to do.

Maybe those monkeys also found that there was nothing in the bag. The young monkey whose turn it was to empty the bag reached out and touched the bag of dried fruits. He lowered his head in grievance, with tears in his eyes, which made people's heart break.

Just then, the college students standing nearby rummaged through their bags and found a bag of steamed sweet potato chips.

This is a snack they keep for themselves.

This food is not suitable for feeding to monkeys because of its high sugar content. However, the problem of high sugar content will only occur if the monkeys consume it in large quantities over a long period of time.

And one or two dried sweet potatoes may not have as much sugar content as the fruits they occasionally find in the woods.

So after hesitating for a moment, Chen Ying tentatively handed over a dried sweet potato.

The monkey had never eaten this thing before. He looked at it for a long time before taking a bite following Chen Ying's demonstration.

It should, seems, appears to be delicious!
