Chapter 133 Qinling Zoo (XIX)
"geigeigei~" Little bear, I'll give you a big pear.
The golden monkey discovered that the foreign panda was coveting its poop, and fearing that the panda would destroy its territorial mark out of hunger, it took the initiative to hand over the wild pears it had just picked.
Fortunately, Sesame Tangyuan doesn’t have the ability to read minds, so he doesn’t know how Golden Monkey would diss himself.
He lowered his head, looked at the wild pear handed to him, and refused it with a firm heart.
"Yiyi!" I'm here to hunt. Do you know what hunting is? Who wants to be a vegetarian...
He only uttered twice, and his saliva was drooling with gratitude.
"Yiyi..." Even if I fail in hunting today, I will jump down from here and eat bamboos out of hunger...
"Gurgle gurgle——"
Sesame glutinous rice balls climbed over mountains and hills for most of the day, but they only ate a few bites of bamboo, and their hungry stomachs groaned in time.
He looked at the pear handed to him by the golden monkey again, triggering the law of true fragrance.
"Eeyee?" Is your wild pear sweet? Let me taste it for you~
Yu Yiyun took the wild pear with her paws, opened her mouth wide and bit into it, and the sweet pear juice instantly overflowed.
Golden monkeys are indeed fruit experts in the mountains and forests. They not only know what fruits should be eaten in which season, but can also tell when the fruits are most delicious.
Its ten fingers are very flexible and can peel the orange peel expertly, then discard the pulp and eat only the orange peel.
Yu Yiyun, who also likes sweets, finished the wild pear in a few bites, smacking her lips, feeling that she was still not satisfied.
"Eeyore?" Monkey, are there any more big pears?
“geigei~”Yes, I’ll take you to pick them.
"Eeyee!" Okay, okay!
Sesame Tangyuan instantly forgot his original purpose and followed the golden monkey, whom he had just met for 59 seconds, into the dense forest to catch wild pears.
In late autumn, the mountains and forests are rich in food. Various fruits are ripening and providing a warm welcome to the birds and animals living in the dense forests.
After the delicious fruit pulp is digested by birds and animals, the seeds wrapped in it are left behind and scattered everywhere following the footprints of birds and animals, avoiding competition for resources with the parent plant.
The poop excreted along with the seeds happens to be the best fertilizer for the seeds, helping the fruit tree family to flourish.
Wild pear trees usually look inconspicuous, with crooked trunks and tangled branches. They are neither suitable for climbing nor for viewing.
In spring, the pear trees become completely different as they sprout. Small pure white flowers bloom on the branches, giving off a subtle fragrance.
After the flowers wither, the pear tree will spend half a year bearing fruit. The pears produced are sweet and plentiful, and the juice is delicious and can clear away heat and soothe the throat.
"Eeyee!"
Yu Yiyun chased the golden monkey's tail and saw it nimbly climb up a pear tree on the slope of the cliff. He was so scared that he braked on the spot.
That was a close call.
Almost fell into a bear biscuit.
Pear trees have a very strong ability to adapt. Once they have taken root, they can still thrive even in dry and cold environments.
The problem is... the vitality is a little too strong.
Sesame glutinous rice balls are good at climbing trees, but not good at parkour on the edge of cliffs.
Golden monkeys are light in weight, have long arms, and have long tails that can hook onto tree trunks to prevent them from falling.
Moreover, its butt has a built-in cushion, so it can sit steadily even on a tree on the edge of a cliff.
With the current tonnage of sesame dumplings, if you sit on them, they might collapse the pear tree.
"Eeyee!"
The little bear couldn't pick the pears, so he wandered back and forth on the edge of the cliff, turning in circles anxiously and shouting to the golden monkey.
The golden monkey finally realized that the stupid bear it had just met was a cute loser who couldn't even climb a tree.
"geigei!" Bear, catch it!
It stretched out its arms, plucked a few pears that were so ripe that they were about to fall, and threw them to the sesame dumplings.
"Yiyi~" Thank you~
Sesame Tangyuan caught the wild pear, sat down, and ate the pear while enjoying the scenery.
When he ate the third pear, he vaguely saw several little monkeys, both men and women, old and young, running by on the next hill.
The golden monkey that was picking pears suddenly stopped and looked at them eagerly, with a distant look.
Golden monkeys are primates, have certain similarities with humans, and possess intelligence and emotions.
Yu Yiyun observed the golden monkey carefully and actually saw a sad expression similar to "envy" and "loneliness" on its face.
"Eeyee?" Monkey, do you know that group of monkeys?
"geigei!" You are right, I am a strong and brave monkey.
"Eeyee?" Are they your house monkeys?
"geigei!" One day, I will become the Monkey King!
"Eeeeeee."
"geigeigei."
…
They talked nonsense for a long time.
Yu Yiyun was chewing a wild pear when she saw the golden monkey suddenly get excited. She had no idea why it was spontaneously combusting for no apparent reason.
It doesn't matter.
Although he and the little monkey did not speak the same language, there was no communication between them.
But we 250 have been running on the front line of gossip all year round, and our gossip level exceeds 99.99% of the beasts. We have plenty of strength and means.
Over the next few days, Yu Yiyun transformed herself into an undercover reporter and sneaked up on nearby monkey groups whenever she got the chance, trying to figure out the relationships between them.
Ziwei and Little Bear saw that Sesame Tangyuan worked diligently every day, going out early and coming back late, but rarely brought home prey.
“Woo woo?” Is the prey here so difficult to catch?
"Hey~" Mommy!
The little bear jumped into his arms to comfort Sesame Dumpling.
"Na na na!" When the baby grows up, I will catch a deer for you to eat!
When Sesame Tangyuan faced his two companions, his conscience, as small as a needle tip, finally began to feel a little guilty.
He clenched his paws and rubbed his hands together, ready to catch a big one today!
Whether being a cat, a dog, a bird or a fish, Yu Yiyun's luck is always subtle.
Simply put, when bad luck reaches a certain stage, good luck will come.
Just like today, not long after Yu Yiyun made up his mind to hunt seriously, he keenly discovered a lone lamb.
"Eeyee!"
What a cute sheep!
The lambs have not grown horns yet, so they are not threatening for the time being. However, in order to adapt to the environment, the sheep in the mountains can run at a speed comparable to that of adult sheep soon after they are born, and they are very agile.
When it comes to running, even though Sesame Tangyuan is considered the best among bears, he still has no advantage in a chase.
He hid in a tree to conceal his breath, quietly approached the lamb, and tried to deal with it using his best skill, which was to attack from the sky.
Unexpectedly, when the lamb was still dozens of meters away, a cat flew out from the grass and pounced straight towards it.
"Meow!"
It barked fiercely, showing its fangs and the nails hidden in its claws, and then -
The lamb kicked back, easily kicked the cat high up, and ran away in a hurry.
"..." Yu Yiyun opened his 800-degree myopic eyes wide and vaguely saw the cat curl up its belly in the air, then turn 180 degrees and land steadily on all four paws.
If it appeared in the Olympic gymnastics arena, Yu Yiyun would even cheer.
At this moment, seeing the frightened lamb, Yu Yiyun, who had been lying in ambush for a long time, broke down instantly.
He knew that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it, but he had never heard of the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole let the cicada go.
"Eeyee!" What are you doing coming out?
"Eey, eyey!" Green cat, didn't your mother teach you how to hunt?
The little leopard cat, who had just stood alone, was startled and turned around suddenly, only to find a black and white ball flashing behind him.
The ocelot lay on its front paws alertly, baring its teeth and growling fiercely. It sniffed the black and white ball from a distance, observing it carefully with its animal eyes.
It sniffed for a long time and smelled the fragrance of bamboo, and its little brain started working quickly.
Bamboo = plant, eat bamboo = herbivore.
Mom said that herbivores are prey to carnivores.
So, black and white balls = leopard cat’s prey!
The little leopard cat used its generally not very smart brain among cats and quickly came to a conclusion. It showed its claws again and attacked the black and white ball.
Yu Yiyun was too lazy to hide and just watched the little beast jump into her arms. It bit and scratched her with all its strength but failed to break even the surface of her skin.
"Mee, mee!"
The harder the little leopard cat worked, the harder it felt, and he was so tired that he was out of breath.
Yu Yiyun was even more speechless.
"Eeyore!" Cat, you've only been standing there for half a minute.
Yu Yiyun had seen people with poor endurance, but she had never seen anyone with such poor endurance.
"Eeyeeeeee!" How dare you take a break? Get up and keep hunting!
The leopard cat was repeatedly scratched by the bear's paws, pressed to the ground with its belly exposed, and rubbed.
It wanted to escape but couldn't, and finally realized that it had provoked the wrong bear.
“Meow…meow…”
The poor leopard cat was pinned down and unable to turn over. He begged for mercy weakly, hoping that the black and white ball would let him go.
Laughter.
How could the evil bear let the cute little animals go?
He turned the kitten over and over and sucked it till it felt good. Then he let go of his paw, still not satisfied, and motioned for the leopard cat to go hunting with him.
The leopard cat was completely rubbed and just as it was about to run away, the black and white ball held its tail, as if it had become Jerry in Tom and Jerry.
"Eeyore." Come with me.
Yu Yiyun called out, forcing the leopard cat to follow her and continue looking for prey.
"Meow..." The leopard cat was obviously scared by the sesame dumplings. It cried out with great grievance and followed the black and white dumpling in a cowardly manner.
Not long after walking, Yu Yiyun saw chocolate beans scattered along the roadside.
Following the trail of the Sheep-Sheep brand chocolate beans, he saw the sheep that had just escaped, staying less than 1 kilometer away from the hunter, leisurely eating grass.
"……babble."
Sesame Glutinous Rice Balls couldn't help but sigh.
The hunter in the new claw stage and the prey in the new hoof stage are like a broken pot and a broken lid, a perfect match!
Meeting Yangyang again, the little leopard cat with a strong addiction to cat food shows its claws again, and dreams of flying into the sky.
Seeing that it was about to fly out of the sky again, Yu Yiyun used his claws to tuck the leopard cat into the grass and signaled it fiercely not to make a sound.
When the lamb heard the panda's cry, he looked at it warily.
About two hundred meters away, it did not smell the bloody smell of carnivores on the black and white ball, so it continued to chew the tender grass without any ulterior motives.
Sesame dumplings: How important it is to take a bath and brush your teeth regularly~
Yu Yiyun had extensive hunting experience and was very good at concealing his aggression, approaching the lamb slowly.
When the distance was within a hundred meters, it performed a tactical show by eating the fruit, and then naturally climbed up the nearby tree to pick fruits.
Seeing that the black and white balls were being eaten with gusto, the lamb became more certain of his judgment. He buried his head, eating grass while producing a large number of chocolate balls.
After it finished chewing the grass at its feet, it continued chewing with its mouth pouted.
It is difficult to tell whether the person is ruminating or simply has insufficiently chewed grass in his mouth.
It found a lot of fresh and green grass under the fruit trees, and ran over happily to clean the grass.
After taking a few bites, the sesame dumpling who was hiding in the tree and eating fruit jumped down.
The leopard cat only heard the lamb bleat halfway before it completely lost its breath.
The whole process was quick, decisive and left no trace, which made it begin to doubt who was the pure carnivore between it and Xiong Xiong?
"Eehee?" Did you see it?
"Eeyore, eyore!" If you're not good at it, just practice more.
Sesame dumplings successfully subdued the lamb and arrogantly stepped forward with their legs crossed.
The leopard cat was greedy and his stomach was already empty.
This time, Yu Yiyun didn't need to call it. It took the initiative to follow, hoping that after the sesame dumplings were full, they would reward themselves with some leftovers.
Yu Yiyun brought the prey back to the tree hole where they were temporarily staying.
The little bear smelled the food from afar and got so excited that he couldn't wait to pounce on it and take a big bite.
Ever since the little bear was completely weaned, Sesame Tangyuan has been unsuccessful in hunting and has not brought back any decent prey.
Poor little bear, he can only eat bamboo rat meat occasionally. He has never eaten large pieces of meat and doesn’t know where to start.
He held the sheep's hoof and chewed it, almost breaking his newly grown baby teeth.
"Na, na na." Mommy, I can't bite it.
"Eeyee~"
Yu Yiyun laughed in a very wicked way, mocking the stupid little bear.
Finally, after laughing enough, he skillfully tore open the sheepskin and fed the softest meat to the little bear.
"Hey hey!" Delicious!
The little bear is indeed the one raised by Yu Yiyun herself, and its habits are extremely similar.
It was clearly my first time eating lamb and I immediately accepted the taste.
It even can't wait for its mother to feed it, and takes the initiative to crawl under the sheep's belly and suck.
After sucking for a long time, not much mutton was sucked off, and instead the fur was all dyed red.
From a distance, it looks like a white kitten stealing dragon fruit.
"Eeyeeeeee!"
When Yu Yiyun was eating a piece of meat, she found that her cub was extremely dirty. She pulled the little bear out with disgust and scolded him for looking like a little cat.
As soon as the beeping sound fell, the real spotted cat plucked up the courage to approach.
With his paws together, he squatted politely in front of the black and white ball.
"Meow, meow~"
When the leopard cat saw that Sesame Tangyuan was feeding the little bear meat, he rolled on the ground with envy.
It had just become independent, had no hunting experience, and had been hungry for several days.
With the delicious prey right before its eyes, the leopard cat lost the energy to hunt and decided to trade its dignity for food from Yu Yiyun.
In order to make the black and white ball understand what he meant, the leopard cat drew out his voice, opened and closed his mouth to chew the air, and cleaned his claws in a serious manner.
[Crazy Explicit.jpg]
Yu Yiyun has been a pig twice, so how could she not understand the actions of the leopard cat?
However, he did not respond, and watched the ocelot become increasingly irritable, meowing more and more ferociously, as if asking, "Bear, are you blind?"
"Eeyee."
Not blind, but almost.
"……Meow."
The little leopard cat cried more and more desperately. It glared at Yu Yiyun angrily and vowed that when it became the strongest cat in the jungle, it would definitely -
Before the vicious thought could be finished, Yu Yiyun had finally had enough of teasing the little bear, so she picked up a piece of meat with bones that the little bear could not chew, and threw it to the leopard cat.
The leopard cat's eyes suddenly became clear.
"Meow?" For me?
"Meow meow?" Are you really giving it to me?
"Meow, meow, meow!" You are really the best bear in the whole forest!
The leopard cat picked up the food, wagged its tail happily, and disappeared into the depths of the jungle with a hop and a skip.
Although it doesn't know whether it can hunt successfully tomorrow.
At least, the kitten that has just become independent won’t starve to death today!
Sesame Tangyuan watched the leopard cat go away, vaguely remembering himself when he used to eat free meals everywhere.
The ocelot was clumsy and its hunting skills were very immature.
But it is resilient and ambitious, and is bound to become a formidable hunter in the forest.
Yu Yiyun retracted her gaze, took Little Bear to the river, washed the dragon fruit's skin, and told him to stay in the tree hole obediently.
"Hey, hey." Mommy, I'm full, where else do you want to go?
The little bear blinked his clear eyes.
"Yiyi!" Little bear should not interfere in big bear's affairs!
Yu Yiyun made a typical speech as a traditional parent, and happily took the first step to fool around, continuing to investigate the complex ethical relationships of the golden monkey family.
After several days of undercover investigation, Yu Yiyun had already learned most of the information and confirmed which family the little monkey that picked pears for her originally belonged to.
The latest survey data shows that there are a total of 24 golden monkey groups in the nature reserve located on the northern slope of the Qinling Mountains.
The golden monkeys in Shaanxi belong to the Sichuan golden monkey and like to live in groups.
Each population of golden snub-nosed monkeys consists of dozens to hundreds of monkeys, with a total number of about 2,000.
The territories of some monkey groups are very close, with two or three monkey groups on the same hill.
The monkeys' social living pattern is more similar to that of Kruger lions.
In a family-type monkey group, the matriarch and all the female members live together and take care of each other.
Apart from the underage cubs, there is only one male golden monkey in the monkey group. He serves as the partner or father of all the female monkeys and protects the entire monkey group.
If a stronger male monkey appears to challenge the leader, once it defeats the original male monkey, it will become the new guardian of the family.
To put it simply: male monkeys come and go, but sisters remain forever.
The male monkey named Pear that Yu Yiyun met is six years old this year and has become a mature little man.
It left home at the age of two and joined a group of stray male monkeys like all male monkeys who were expelled from their family.
The survival mode of stray male monkeys and stray male lions is slightly different.
Even when wandering, golden snub-nosed monkeys still prefer to live in groups.
They do not have deep family ties, but they live a collective life. Strong male monkeys similar to leaders will appear in the population, waiting to challenge other leaders.
It took the pear monkey three years to become the strongest among the wandering male monkeys.
Next, it should challenge the leader of the family monkey group like other powerful male monkeys, occupy all the female golden monkeys, and breed its own bloodline.
Last fall, the pear monkeys, who had just reached sexual maturity, challenged the leader male monkey.
The male monkey was still young and strong, closer to his prime than himself. All the female monkeys in the family obviously preferred the original leader and stood by him to cheer him on.
The Pear Monkey returned in defeat, severely injured, and almost did not survive the winter of last year.
After a whole year of keeping a low profile, the stronger Pear Monkey decided to carefully choose his targets and seize his own position as leader!
Yu Yiyun figured out the whole story and finally understood: he always sat on the tree, gazing at other monkeys with a lonely look on his face, not because he missed his mother.
Just want to cuckold the male monkey!
"geigeigei." I want to be the leader.
"geigeigei!" And then give birth to lots and lots of little monkeys!
Yu Yijun nibbled on a pear, showing no interest in its lofty ambitions.
After a few more days, the pear monkey finally made a decision and resolutely left the wandering monkey group and came to the monkey group's territory of his own choice.
Sesame Tangyuan doesn’t have much to say about the great ambitions of the Pear Monkey, but he must watch the monkeys fight!
On the day of the battle between the leaders, Yu Yiyun held a few pears in her pocket and found the best viewing seat in advance. She looked down from a high vantage point at the pear monkey walking towards the leader monkey and roared provocatively.
Golden monkeys like to live in dense forests and stay in trees all year round.
It was the harvest season, and the chief and his family members traveled through the woods every day, rarely landing.
They have very long tails, almost as long as their bodies, which they can swing around on branches to move.
Hearing the provocative shouting of the foreign male monkey, the leader monkey was just as aggressive and also issued a warning of expulsion and threat.
"geigei!" Come down here!
"Puff puff!" Come up if you have the guts!
"Geigei!" Why? Get off!
"Puff puff!" I don't want you to come up!
…
Before the two monkeys officially started fighting, they first started to utter harsh words, which was so boring that Yu Yiyun almost fell asleep.
Before long, more and more golden monkeys gathered in the dense forest, and they all seemed to be members of this family.
The golden monkey group seems to be led by male golden monkeys, but in fact the female golden monkeys also have an absolute position.
Whenever foreign monkeys challenge their dominance, female golden monkeys will make their own choices through actions.
Typically, female golden monkeys will support a powerful lord monkey and help it fight off foreign monkeys.
However, there are always special circumstances.
If some lords are too domineering or too old and weak, female golden monkeys will choose to support the invading monkeys or even help drive away the lord monkeys.
In addition, there is another reason why female golden monkeys support foreign monkeys.
The golden monkey that currently rules the monkey group is 13 years old.
Although it is not yet old, it has ruled the monkey group for too long.
In the monkey group, the leader's partner gradually grew old.
Most of the golden monkeys that have just entered the breeding season are the leader's daughters.
They want little monkeys of their own, but they cannot bond with the leader, so they can only suppress their own instincts.
Just at this moment, a young, energetic male monkey exuding masculine charm appeared, and the young female monkeys collectively turned their elbows outward and overwhelmingly supported the foreign monkey.
Normally, female golden monkeys stay in the group.
There are always exceptions. Animal experts have observed that sometimes female golden monkeys like foreign male monkeys, but unfortunately the male monkeys cannot beat the leader. Then, the female golden monkeys will secretly date the male monkeys without the leader's knowledge, or simply elope with him.
Just like now.
Before the fight even started, the chief's daughters circled around the pear monkey, saying, "Even if you lose, we will follow you."
The leader monkey lost his support. Even though he was in his own monkey group, he felt like he was fighting away from home.
Looking at his daughter who was "filial and powerful", the leader monkey lost the energy to fight seriously. He admitted defeat after a few hits and left the monkey group alone.
The new monkey king, surrounded by female monkeys, had several scratches on his body, but it did not affect his majesty at all.
The pear monkey jumped up and down excitedly, roaring constantly, and was busy marking his territory.
It marked a tree and suddenly heard a sound of falling. It reached out and steadily caught a plump wild pear.
"Yiyi~" Congratulations, little monkey king~
"geigei!" Thank you!
When the Pear Monkey saw his good friend the Bear, he was very happy and started to eat the pear right away.
The sesame dumpling poked its head out and whispered like a devil:
"Yiyi." Little monkey, let me introduce a system to you.
"Yiyi, Yiyi?" Want to know more about the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures?
