A report on genetic research once said that humans and orangutans are very similar, with a difference of only about 1-2%, and it is this 2% genetic difference that makes orangutans different from humans in terms of intelligence, behavior, psychology, etc. There is a considerable difference, and the so-called difference is a thousand miles away.
But that doesn't mean that gorillas and monkeys are stupid. Compared to many animals, they are smart.
The monkeys watched Zheng Tan unscrew the bottle cap, screw it tightly, twist it again, screw it again, and after repeating it a few times, it was estimated that their hands were itchy too. on the ground, then take a few steps back.
Seeing Zheng Tan's behavior, the little monkey caught in the arms of the mother monkey couldn't wait to break free and get the empty mineral water bottle. This time, the mother monkey did not drag it back by its tail, and several big monkeys gathered to watch the little monkey's movements.
When Zheng Tan twisted the bottle cap just now, he didn't twist it tightly, so the little monkey tried twice according to Zheng Tan's action just now, and then twisted the bottle cap off. When he saw his success, the little monkey danced with excitement and chirped in his mouth. ahh, as if showing off.
A big monkey took the bottle and put the twisted cap on the mouth of the bottle. When it moved, the cap fell off, put it on, and fell again. Another big monkey couldn't see it, grabbed the bottle, and took Carefully placed the bottle cap on it, pinched the bottle cap with my fingers and twisted it, it was wrong, twist it again, it was still wrong, stared at the bottle a few times, twisted it in another direction, this time it was right.
After waving the plastic bottle vigorously twice, the cap didn't come off, and the big monkey cried out happily.
Zheng Tan just watched the monkeys crowd around and grab the bottle to play. The little monkey couldn't grab it this time, so he looked around and ran away. When the mother monkey turned around, the little monkey had already run far away and couldn't call back.
Now Zheng Tan finally knows how this little monkey was alone before. This is the type of human children who don't listen to anything they say.
After a while, the little monkey did not know where to pick up a slightly smaller beverage bottle. The bottle cap was not screwed tightly.
Watching these monkeys play with bottle caps, Zheng Tan sighed inwardly, a mineral water bottle can be used as a toy so happily.
Just as he was thinking, Zheng Tan's ears moved, and he heard human voices, it was Er Mao and the others who came over.
Soon the monkeys also found those people, and they were a little wary. The little monkey was called by the mother monkey. When hanging on the mother monkey, the little drink bottle in the little monkey's hand was not thrown away.
When Er Mao and the others arrived at the steep slope, Zheng Tan had already climbed up and waited.
"Black coal, what are you doing here?" Er Mao asked. In fact, Er Mao also had doubts in his heart. He thought of the orchid seedling that was taken out by this cat four years ago.
Taking a step forward, Er Mao glanced down the steep slope.
"Hey, Senior Brother Pei, there's too much fire here?" Er Mao pointed downwards and asked.
Pei Liang said helplessly: "Yeah, in fact, there are not many people coming from this place, and because of this, some mountain patrols didn't pay attention to this place, plus some people neglected their duties and ignored this part, here's the next There was a lot of rubbish accumulated before, and on May 1st, someone didn’t know what was thrown down, and it caught fire, almost all the plants under the slope were burnt, and the surrounding stone walls are still dark.”
Even if there are signs in many tourist attractions, there are still some people who don't care, throw them at will, throw up at will, and even throw away some dangerous things at will, presumably for fun.
If the person who threw the fire source knew how much money he had burned with this fire, how would he feel
"After that incident, there were a few more trash cans around." Pei Liang said, pointing to what looked like a wooden stake.
In order to match the surrounding environment of tourist attractions, trash cans are also made closer to nature.
Zheng Tan looked at the trash can. There should be a lot of places nearby to place such a trash can, but even if there was a trash can, Zheng Tan still saw the plastic bottle that was thrown below, although it was not like four years ago. It's thrown all over the place, but it's still there.
"This phenomenon of littering still exists." Er Mao said, looking at some inconspicuous wrapping papers below the steep slope.
"It will not be absolutely avoided, but there is also the 'credit' of those monkeys." Pei Liang said.
"What credit?"
"The monkeys on the mountain are very alert and keep a distance from strangers, so they seldom go down the mountain to get along with people in the village, but at the same time, they are also very curious. I have seen monkeys turning over the mountain several times. Trash cans. It’s impossible for the cleaners to keep an eye on the trash cans. There are hundreds of trash cans in such a large area, how can they be cleaned all at once, even if there are many cleaners, they can’t always pay attention.”
"Oh, those monkeys still have this hobby? Eryuan, good daughter, let's not learn from those bad monkeys." Ermao said to Eryuan.
With children, it’s not good to stay on the mountain for too long, and the children don’t have that much energy, so they only stayed on the mountain for half a day, and went back to the village in the afternoon.
The next day, Er Mao and Wei Ling did not go up the mountain, but took their two children to visit the stalls, while Zheng Tan followed Pei Liang up the mountain, Pei Liang went to the hotel on the mountain, and Zheng Tan went to the steep slope.
When Zheng Tan passed by, he happened to see the little monkey holding a bottle filled with water to the place where the leaf sprouts were growing, and like Zheng Tan did yesterday, he poured the water there. Still not so smooth, but much better than yesterday when I didn't know anything.
Originally, Zheng Tan was worried that the orchids would wither because they were too dry, but now he is worried about watering too much. Moderate watering will not teach the monkey for a while, so Zheng Tan can only think about the good. How can it be said that there will not be withered due to lack of water, right? The weather here is really dry recently.
The little monkey also discovered Zheng Tan, probably because it was too small. He was not as vigilant as the big monkeys on the mountain. Moreover, yesterday's events also made the little monkey less wary of Zheng Tan and less timid.
Climbing up the steep slope, the little monkey raised the empty drink bottle at Zheng Tan.
Is this... taking credit
Whether it was or not, Zheng Tan walked over and saw that the little monkey did not avoid him, raised a hand and patted the monkey's head lightly.
good boy.
But it's not good to always sneak out alone, this is still a minor among monkeys. Do monkeys also have rebellious periods
After pouring the water, the little monkey had nothing to do, still holding the small drink bottle in his hand. Zheng Tan saw that it was too difficult to walk and climb the tree like this, so he pulled some vines to tie the bottle and put it around the little monkey's neck.
The little monkey was very curious about this, took off the collar and put it on again, and shook it while holding it.
Zheng Tan planned to take a stroll in the mountains. After staying in the city for a long time, he felt at ease both physically and mentally when he came to nature. Although the greening in Chuhua University is very good, it is still a plain area after all, and it is still within the city circle, with mountains and forests. The natural environment of the region is different.
While walking slowly, I was thinking about things. Of course, I would also pay attention to the movements around me. I was wandering in the mountains. If I didn't pay much attention, I would suffer.
Noticing the abnormality behind him, Zheng Tan turned around and looked back.
That little monkey with a plastic bottle hanging around his neck doesn't matter if he follows. Other monkeys follow, including the two big monkeys from yesterday, and some that Zheng Tan has never seen before.
They didn't mean to declare war, they just followed, probably to join in the fun. When they saw their companions follow, they followed.
Zheng Tan walked away and saw that the monkeys were still following. He originally planned to run quickly to get rid of the monkeys behind, but after seeing a trash can, Zheng Tan changed his mind.
A monkey is turning over in the trash can, it may not be looking for food. Pei Liang said that whether it is a monkey that likes to go down the mountain or a monkey that always stays on the mountain, there is no shortage of food. The people here are very kind to them. . Therefore, Zheng Tan is more inclined to believe that the monkey who rummaged through the trash was just having fun. As it turned over, some food boxes and packaging bags were lifted out of the trash can.
Zheng Tan stood up, walked over, picked up a packaging bag, and threw it into the trash can. Then squat down and watch the monkeys.
At first, the monkeys nearby did not respond. After about half a minute, the little monkey with the drink bottle walked over, picked up a lump of paper that had fallen by the trash can, threw it into the trash can, and tried Looking at Zheng Tan.
Zheng Tan thought for a while, then went over and patted the little monkey's head lightly.
The little monkey chirped for a while with joy, threw another wrapping paper in, and continued to look at Zheng Tan.
Zheng Tan was too lazy to move this time.
But Zheng Tan didn't move, when the little monkey saw this, he took a step towards Zheng Tan, then moved, moved again, and moved all the way to Zheng Tan's side.
Looking at the monkey next to him with wide eyes staring at him, Zheng Tan's beard shook, raised his hand and patted its monkey head again.
Looking at the monkey who was rushing to pick up the trash again, Zheng Tan thought that he should just slip away quickly.
A big monkey next to him was standing on the tree scratching it. Seeing the little monkey's behavior, he probably thought it would be more fun. He also climbed down the tree and went to pick up things and throw them in.
If there is one, there is a second, and a third. The monkeys who were watching the lively around also followed the past to learn.
When the little monkey turned around again, he found that Zheng Tan had disappeared.
And here, no one expected that what happened between these monkeys was subtly changing the behavior of a large number of monkeys on the mountain. So that when tourists who come to travel here throw garbage at will or throw it into the trash can but don't throw it in and fall next to the trash can, there will always be monkeys who pick up the things that fell next to the trash can and throw it into the trash can. go.
For this matter, local TV stations and provincial TV stations have come to interview them, and they have used typical examples to educate some people, throwing garbage in the trash can. This is something that even monkeys know, don't you understand
However, when outsiders praised the average quality of the monkeys here, most of the people in the village laughed without saying a word, thinking in their hearts: That's because you haven't seen the monkeys' performance before, that's simply negative teaching material.
Of course, those are all later stories, let's not mention them for the time being.
Zheng Tan also didn't know that his whim as a fun thing would trigger this series of changes. He looked at the time and went down to Pei Liang's house on time. If it is late, Er Mao will complain to Jiao's father and Jiao's mother.
In the evening, the two children were taken to bed by their respective mothers, and the three brothers Liu Weiling, Wei Mao and Pei Liang were drinking there.
Well, most people tend to drink too much when they are happy and sad.
Pei Liang even more, after drinking too much, he and Qi Da partnered to play a strange monkey fist, and then one person and one monkey took the "golden hoop stick" to play the role of Sun Dasheng, and quarreled about who played more like it.
Yes, Pei Liang, and Qi Da, one person and one monkey, with different languages, but arguing hotly.
Ermao looked at one person and one monkey whose faces were all red, and rolled on the ground with laughter. Wei Ling was a little more awake and took several photos.
Pei Liang's eldest son couldn't see it, so he closed the door so that no one outside could see his father's humiliating appearance.
Zheng Tan, who was on the sidelines, remembered a joke from the past: It takes thousands of years to change from a monkey to a human, but it only takes a bottle of wine to change from a human to a monkey.
