Strange Life of a Cat

There was once a report on genetic research that said that humans and orangutans have a high degree of similarity, 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, and psychology. There is a considerable difference, and the so-called difference is a thousand miles away.

But this does not mean that orangutans and monkeys are stupid. Compared with many animals, they are considered smart.

The monkeys watched as Zheng Tan unscrewed the bottle cap, tightened it, unscrewed it, and tightened it again. After repeated several times, they probably felt itchy too. Zheng Tan saw that the demonstration was almost the same, and put the bottle back on on the ground, and take a few steps back.

The little monkey caught in the arms of the mother monkey saw Zheng Tan's behavior, and couldn't wait to break free to get the empty mineral water bottle. This time the mother monkey didn't drag it back by the tail, and several big monkeys gathered together to watch the little monkey's movements.

When Zheng Tan twisted the bottle cap just now, he didn't tighten it tightly, so the little monkey tried twice according to Zheng Tan's action before twisting off the bottle cap. Seeing that he succeeded, the little monkey was so excited that he danced and chirped. Ahhh, it seems to be showing off.

A big monkey took the bottle, put the twisted cap on the mouth of the bottle, moved it, the cap fell off, put it on, and then fell down again. Another big monkey next to him couldn't stand it, grabbed the bottle, and took it Put the bottle cap on it carefully, pinch the bottle cap with your fingers and twist it, something is wrong, twist again, still something is wrong, stare at the bottle for a few times, twist it in another direction, this time it is right.

After waving the plastic bottle vigorously twice, the cap did not fall off, and the big monkey yelled happily.

Zheng Tan watched the monkeys gather 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 her head, the baby monkey had already run far away and could not come back even if she called.

Now Zheng Tan finally knew why the little monkey was alone before. Putting this in human children is the type that doesn’t listen to anything.

Not long after, the little monkey picked up a slightly smaller beverage bottle from nowhere.

Seeing these monkeys playing with the bottle caps, Zheng Tan sighed inwardly. He was so happy that a mineral water bottle could be used as a toy.

Just as he was thinking, Zheng Tan moved his ears, and he heard human voices, it was Ermao and the others coming.

Soon those monkeys also noticed those people coming over, and they were a little vigilant, and the little monkey was called over by the mother monkey. When hanging on the mother monkey, the little drink bottle in the baby monkey's hand did not throw away.

When Ermao and the others arrived at the steep slope, Zheng Tan had already climbed up and waited.

What are you doing here, Black Coal? Er Mao asked. In fact, Er Mao also had doubts in his heart. He thought of the orchid seedlings taken out by this cat four years ago.

Taking a step forward, Er Mao glanced down the steep slope.

Hey, Senior Brother Pei, has there been a fire here? Er Mao asked, pointing down.

Pei Liang said helplessly: Yes, in fact, not many people come to this area, and because of this, some mountain patrollers didn't pay attention to this area, and some people neglected their duties and ignored this area. There was a lot of rubbish accumulated before, and on May 1, someone threw something down, and it caught fire, and almost all the plants below the slope were burned, and the surrounding stone walls are still black.

Even if there are notice boards in many tourist attractions, some people still don't care, throw them at will, spit at will, and even throw away some dangerous things at will, probably for fun.

How would the person who threw the fire feel if he knew how much he had burned?

After that incident, there were a few more trash cans around here. Pei Liang pointed to something that looked like a wooden stake.

In order to match the surrounding environment of tourist attractions, the trash cans are also made closer to nature.

Zheng Tan looked at the trash can, there are, and there should be many places nearby to put such trash cans, but even if there are trash cans, Zheng Tan still saw the thrown plastic bottles below, although it is not like four years ago It's thrown all over the place like that, but it's still there.

The phenomenon of littering still exists. Ermao said, looking at some unobtrusive wrapping papers below the steep slope.

It will definitely not be absolutely avoided, but there are also 'credits' to those monkeys. Pei Liang said.

What credit?

The monkeys on the mountain are very vigilant and respect strangers at a distance, so they rarely 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 flipping over the mountain several times. Garbage bins. It is impossible for the cleaners to keep an eye on the trash cans all the time. How could such a large area with hundreds of trash cans be cleaned up all at once? Even if there are many cleaners, they cannot always pay attention.”

Oh, those monkeys still have this habit? Er Yuan, good girl, let's not learn from those bad monkeys. Er Mao said to Er Yuan.

It's not good to stay on the mountain for too long with children, and the children don't have that much energy, so I 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 Leng didn't go up the mountain, but took the two children to the stall, while Zheng Tan followed Pei Liang up the mountain, Pei Liang was going 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 and coming to the place where the leaf buds were growing, imitating what Zheng Tan did yesterday, pouring water there, with a clumsy technique, twisting the bottle cap It's still not so smooth, but it's much better than yesterday when I didn't know anything.

Originally, Zheng Tan was worried that the orchids there would die because they were too dry, but now he was worried that watering too much, and moderate watering would not teach the monkey for a while, so Zheng Tan could only think on the bright side. How can I say that it won't die because of lack of water? The weather here has been rather dry recently.

The little monkey also found Zheng Tan, probably because it was too young, not as vigilant as the big monkeys on the mountain, and what happened yesterday 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 in Zheng Tan's hand.

Is this... asking for credit?

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Zheng Tan walked over, seeing that the little monkey did not avoid it, raised a hand, and gently patted the monkey's head.

Good boy.

But it's not good to always sneak out alone, this is still a minor among monkeys. Do monkeys also have a rebellious period?

After pouring 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 for him to walk and climb trees 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, so he took off the collar and put it on again, shook it while holding it, and made a few chirp calls to express its joy and joy.

Zheng Tan planned to take a stroll in the mountains. After staying in the city for a long time, he immediately felt comfortable physically and mentally when he came to nature. Although the greenery in Chuhua University is very good, it is a plain area after all, and it is still within the urban circle. The natural environment of the region is different.

While walking slowly, while thinking about things, of course, I will also pay a little attention to pay attention to the movement around me, wandering in the mountains, if I don't pay more attention, I will suffer.

Sensing the abnormality behind him, Zheng Tan turned around and looked back.

The little monkey with the plastic bottle hanging around its neck followed, and there were other monkeys following, including the two big monkeys from yesterday, and some that Zheng Tan had never seen before.

Seeing that they didn't mean to declare war, they just followed, probably to join in the fun, and when they saw their companions following, they followed.

Zheng Tan walked away, seeing those monkeys still following, originally planned to run quickly to shake off the monkeys behind, but after seeing a trash can, Zheng Tan changed his mind.

A monkey was flipping around in the trash can, not necessarily looking for food. Pei Liang said that no matter 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 treat them very well . Therefore, Zheng Tan is more inclined to believe that the monkey looking through the trash can is just for fun. As it flipped, some food boxes and packaging bags were thrown out of the trash can.

Zheng Tan stood up, walked over to pick up a packaging bag, and threw it into the trash can. Then squatted aside and looked at the monkeys.

At first, the nearby monkeys didn't react at all. After about half a minute, the little monkey with the drink bottle walked over, picked up a piece of paper that fell next to the trash can, threw it into the trash can, and then tried Look at Zheng Tan.

Zheng Tan thought for a while, then went over and patted the little monkey's head lightly.

The little monkey chirped happily for a while, then 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, the little monkey saw this and moved a step towards Zheng Tan, then moved, and then moved until he was next to Zheng Tan.

Looking at the monkey staring at him with wide eyes, Zheng Tan shook his beard, raised his hand and patted its monkey head again.

Seeing the monkey rushing over to pick up trash again excitedly, Zheng Tan thought he should just sneak away.

A big monkey next to him was originally standing on a tree scratching his head. Seeing the behavior of the little monkey, he probably thought it would be more fun, so he also climbed down the tree, went to pick up things and threw them in.

If there is one, there will be a second, and a third. The monkeys around who were watching the fun also followed suit.

When the little monkey turned around again, he found that Zheng Tan had already disappeared.

And here, no one expected that what happened among these monkeys was subtly changing the behavior of a large number of monkeys on the mountain. So that when tourists who came here later threw garbage at will or threw it into the trash can but didn't throw it in and fell next to the trash can, there would always be monkeys picking up the things that fell next to the trash can and throwing them into the trash can go.

For this matter, the local TV station and the provincial TV station have come to interview, use the model to educate some people, and throw rubbish into 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 people in the village laughed and said nothing, thinking in their hearts: That is the behavior of the monkeys before you saw them, and that is simply a negative teaching material.

Of course, those are things for later, let’s not mention them for now.

Zheng Tan didn't know that what he thought of as fun would cause this series of changes. He looked at the time and went down the mountain to return to Pei Liang's house on time. If it's later, Ermao will file a complaint with Jiao's father and Jiao's mother.

In the evening, the two children were taken to bed by their respective mothers, and the three senior brothers Wei Leng, Wei Mao and Pei Liang stayed there to drink.

Well, most people tend to drink too much when they are happy and sad.

Pei Liang was even more so. After drinking too much, he and Qi Dada partnered to play a set of weird monkey boxing, and then one person and one monkey held the golden cudgel to pretend to be Sun Dasheng, and quarreled over who played the role more like him.

Yes, Pei Liang and Qi Dada, one person and one monkey, speak different languages, but they quarreled fiercely.

Er Mao looked at the man and the monkey whose faces were flushed from the noise, and rolled on the ground laughing. Wei Leng was still a little 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 embarrassing appearance.

Zheng Tan, who was watching from the sidelines, remembered an old joke: It takes tens of thousands of years to transform from a monkey to a human, but it only takes a bottle of wine to transform from a human to a monkey.
