Chapter 82 The Monkey's Mishap: The Monkey Asks for Help
Gu Yiliu saw gibbons at Yaohai City Zoo.
Gu Yiliu looked at the gibbons in front of her. She was sizing them up, and they were sizing her up too.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh." Vifor, this human is so beautiful, and seems easy to talk to. We'll follow her when we leave.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh." I'll listen to you.
Gu Yiliu listened to the two gibbons talking in loud voices.
She couldn't immediately understand what they were talking about.
"What are you talking about? Why are you coming with me?"
The two gibbons suddenly raised their heads, mouths half-open, their expressions identical, staring blankly at Gu Yiliu.
One of the gibbons reacted first, "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Vivian, what's going on? She seems to understand us!
"Hoo hoo hoo?" Only one person can understand animal speech. Could it be her?
Upon hearing this, Gu Yiliu slightly tugged at the corner of his mouth, but quickly regained his expressionless demeanor as he looked at the two.
Before Vifal could react, another gibbon started calling out on its own.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" It's her, it's her!
Then Gu Yiliu heard it, "Whoosh whoosh whoosh?" Officer Gu, you are Officer Gu, right?
A smile appeared in Gu Yiliu's eyes as he looked at the brown-faced gibbon in front of him and nodded. "It's me. Its name is Vifur. What's your name?"
"Huff huff huff huff?" My name is Yue Gu, Officer Gu, is there anything to eat?
Gu Yiliu suddenly realized that what Yue Gu and Wei Fu had just said was an attempt to get something from her.
"Yes." Gu Yiliu took out two bananas from his bag and handed one to Gu Yiliu.
Yuegu smiled at her, then bit open the banana peel and finished the banana in a few bites.
Then she looked at Gu Yiliu, her face full of longing and anticipation, "Hoo hoo hoo?"
Officer Gu, is there any more?
Gu Yiliu glanced at Weifu. Compared to Yuegu, Weifu hadn't even started eating yet. Hearing Yuegu's words, it handed the banana to Yuegu.
Gu Yiliu glanced into his bag; there was still an egg tart inside. He had bought it from a cake shop on his way to the zoo, but hadn't eaten it yet.
"Yuegu, are you hungry?"
Yuegu ate the banana that Weifu gave her, nodding as she ate, "Hoo hoo!"
tasty!
Gu Yiliu confirmed that Yue Gu was simply greedy.
And Vifur was willing to pamper it.
She took out an egg tart and handed one to Yuegu.
Yue Gu reached out to take it, but before she could touch it, Gu Yiliu pulled it back.
Yuegu looked puzzled, "Hoo hoo?"
Wasn't it for me?
Gu Yiliu: "It's for you, but I have a few questions for you. Can you tell me while you eat?" This time she handed the egg tart out again.
Yuegu nodded, reached out cautiously, and seeing that Gu Yiliu did not stop, it grabbed the egg tart, took a quick bite, and then froze.
Gu Yiliu stared at it in disbelief for a long time.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" So delicious, so delicious!
When Yuegu came to its senses, Gu Yiliu saw it jump up and cheer loudly.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh." Let me have a taste.
Vifu calmed down a lot, but was still very curious about the taste, so it reached out and asked Yuegu for it.
Yuegu immediately stopped cheering, looking wary, but seeing Weifu's outstretched hand, she gradually became conflicted.
Gu Yiliu's expression as he looked at Yue Gu was quite varied.
Vif gave it a lot of food. The food was so delicious this time, so we can give it some. We'll keep giving it food whenever we have it in the future.
Thinking of this, Yuegu raised her hand, opened her mouth and ate one egg tart after another, then handed the last little bit to Weifu.
"Huff huff huff." Eat up.
Gu Yiliu couldn't help but laugh; Yue Gu was quite cute.
However, Vifur didn't mind. He reached out, took the food, and ate it.
After tasting it, their reaction was very similar to Yuegu's; after being stunned, they cheered and jumped for joy.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Delicious, delicious!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" I think it tastes delicious too!
Yuegu also joined the discussion.
Gu Yiliu coughed heavily, "Yuegu, did you just promise me something?"
Yue Gu let out a soft cry, then quickly ran to Gu Yiliu, sat obediently on the ground with her feet together, and called out to Gu Yiliu, "Hoo hoo hoo hoo."
Officer Gu, go ahead and ask.
Wei Fu also ran over and sat down next to Yue Gu, looking at Gu Yiliu.
Gu Yiliu was very satisfied and praised them for being well-behaved. "How old are you now? How many years have you lived here?"
"I'm 6 years old and have lived here for 4 years. I was sent here by humans when I was very young," Yuegu said.
“She was 5 years old when she was brought here with Yuegu,” Weifu continued.
Gu Yiliu nodded. "So, do you like this zoo?"
Yuegu nodded quickly, "Hoo hoo hoo hoo!" She liked it, so much food!
Vifur nodded in agreement. He had no worries about food or clothing, except…
Vifur scratched his hand and sighed.
"Why are you sighing?" Gu Yiliu asked, having heard it.
"Hoo hoo hoo hoo!" It's nice here, except the two zookeepers keep telling us to have babies.
Hearing this, Yuegu next to it nodded repeatedly, "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Yes, yes, Officer Gu, Mr. Wang and Mrs. Zhang keep telling us to have babies, but Yue Gudu is still a baby.
Moreover, Yuegu frowned, it didn't know how it was born, and in its memory, its mother gave birth to a little sister, but then she disappeared. Its mother said she was sleeping.
After it was sent to the zoo by humans, it lived next door to monkeys. There were also baby monkeys in the troop that were always sleeping. Later, it was taken away by its keeper and never came back. Then it understood what its keeper meant by "sleeping".
Gu Yiliu found it amusing; it turned out the gibbon wasn't old enough. According to several years of field monitoring, the gibbon's reproductive pattern is very similar to that of humans. The reproductive cycle is long, and they usually give birth to one offspring at a time. After giving birth, the offspring will stay with the adult gibbon for up to 6 or 7 years. By then, they are considered adults and can stand on their own before leaving the adult gibbon.
However, it seems that those who support Weifu don't have any romantic feelings for Yuegu.
Sure enough, Yue Gu started talking loudly.
"Hoo hoo hoo hoo!" So what if you're all grown up? There are no other apes in the zoo besides you! Why don't humans send any more apes in?
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Who knows! The monkeys next door have formed a troop, but we're still just the two of us!
Vifu was also worried, as they had no other companions to talk to besides each other.
The two monkeys sighed in unison, much like humans do.
"Yuegu, don't you like Weifu?" Gu Yiliu asked.
Yuegu: "Whew! I love it!"
"Then the two of you can have a baby."
Yuegu and Weifu looked at each other and then shook their heads.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" No, it's my mom and I are very close. Anyway, my mom says it's my little brother, and it says we should go to a very, very far place to find a partner.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" No, it's my sister!
Gu Yiliu suddenly realized, no wonder.
When Yuegu was sent to kindergarten, she was already two years old. Having spent a long time with her mother, she already had an understanding of her social group and knew that those around her were relatives and friends. Yuegu's mother also guided her in this understanding. Yuegu has always remembered this.
Therefore, animals also have blood ties. They also understand ethics.
Gu Yiliu remembered that before the apocalypse in his previous life, people always said that animals didn't understand ethics. But since animals could feel pain and hunger, knew how to hold grudges and repay kindness, and also knew how to reproduce, how could they not understand ethics?
Gu Yiliu looked at the two gibbons in front of him. In recent years, this group has been hunted and its habitat has been destroyed, which has caused the gibbons' range to shrink.
And the only two people rescued in the wild by Yaohai City were this brother and sister.
"Hoo hoo hoo hoo?" Officer Gu, what brings you here?
Gu Yiliu was brought back to his senses by Yue Gu's voice.
"Nothing much, I just came to ask if you need anything."
Yue Gu tilted her head: "I think Officer Gu, you were probably called here by Mr. Wang and Mrs. Zhang, probably to help us have babies."
"...How did you know?" Gu Yiliu suddenly felt quite despicable, so she smiled and admitted it directly.
Yuegu raised her hand and pointed behind her, "Whoosh whoosh whoosh."
I saw the zookeeper hiding behind you, Officer Gu, right behind that tree.
Gu Yiliu turned his head and indeed saw two people.
They probably thought Yuegu and Weifu were animals, so even if they found out, it wouldn't matter, and thus they stood openly by the tree.
Seeing that she was looking over, the two exchanged a glance and walked over together.
"Engineer Gu, how is it?"
"They are closely related by blood. They are siblings."
The two zookeepers were taken aback for a moment, but quickly accepted it. The female zookeeper, whom Yuegu called "Mama Zhang," even said, "No wonder I sometimes feel that the two monkeys get along like my two children. Yuegu likes to hit Weifu, and Weifu listens to Yuegu."
Yuegu heard Zhang's mother protesting, "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Zhang's mother, I hit it because it was disobedient!
Zhang's mother looked at Gu Yiliu and asked, "Is it contradicting what I said?"
Gu Yiliu nodded, "They are siblings, one is 6 years old and the other is 5 years old. They are adults now, so it is not appropriate to keep them together when exhibiting them."
The zookeeper, Zhang, nodded. "I will talk to the zoo director about this."
Gu Yiliu had just finished dealing with the matter and was about to leave when Yue Gu grabbed his trouser leg again.
She turned her head. "What's wrong? I don't have any food on me." She thought Yuegu wanted food. "I'll bring you some next time I come."
Yue Gu shook her head, "Huff huff huff huff." Officer Gu, it's not about food. I want to know if my mother is still in the same place.
"You want me to help you find your mother?"
Yue Gu nodded, looked up at Gu Yiliu, and asked, "Hoo hoo hoo?" Officer Gu, is this okay?
Gu Yiliu looked at the emergency call for help that had been pushed to him and nodded.
"Sure, but how can you be sure your mother will stay where you got lost?"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Yes, my mom can!
Yuegu is certain. Even Vifu's mother might be waiting there. It's not impossible that they've already developed into another gibbon group.
Gu Yiliu: "Tell me the place, and I'll go take a look."
