Chapter 172: Met a monkey dealer?
In the back garden of Jie Yin Hall, there are blooming flowers, green grass, and a lively atmosphere in the silence. Tuantuan and its Emeishan monkey cousin met each other for the first time here, and the two little guys seemed very happy.
Tuan Tuan, who had been suppressed for a long time, completely let himself go. The monkeys saw this and started chattering around. The old monkey was like an explorer with boundless energy, running around among the flowers in the back garden.
Tuantuan looked at the funny appearance of the old monkey and couldn't help laughing. Not to be outdone, he joined the chase with his chubby body.
The monkey quickly climbed up the tree using its hands and feet, and then hid in a tree hole. Only its little head poked out, winking at Tuantuan, and kept making provocative calls from its mouth.
Tuanzi shook his head, ran under the tree, and circled the tree several times. He raised his front paws and scratched the trunk, then jumped up hard and climbed up the trunk...
……
On the thousand-year-old tree in the Jingyin Hall, the panda Tuantuan and its monkey cousin sat leisurely.
The trunk of this thousand-year-old tree is as thick as two people hugging each other. The bark is rough and full of traces of time, and the deep wrinkles seem to tell the story of the past.
The huge and round body occupies one side of the tree trunk. The black and white hair is particularly clear in the sunlight shining through the gaps in the leaves. Occasionally, it will slowly turn its head and its ears will twitch slightly.
Its monkey cousin, on the other hand, is small and nimble. It squats on the other side of the tree trunk, with its tail hanging down near the edge of the branch, swaying gently in the breeze.
Tuantuan looked at the rolling mountains in the distance with a hint of thoughtfulness in his eyes. His ears drooped slightly and he sighed softly and said: "Old cousin, does Mommy not love me anymore?"
The monkey scratched his head with his little paw, then turned to look at Tuanzi: "Fat man, she is not your Mommy."
"Nonsense." Tuantuan's eyes looked very melancholy.
The monkey plucked a branch on the side and wondered how an iron-eating beast could recognize the human Touma, so he said: "Look, how do you look like a human? Huh? A fat head, big ears, and a cow's belly."
After hearing this, Tuantuan became even more confused. Indeed, for more than two years, he had called An Zhi Mommy, but it was nothing like him. He looked at the distant sky in confusion.
Mommy loves it very much, but Tuantuan feels that Mommy's love is hot and cold, near and far.
The monkey didn't say anything when he saw Tuantuan, and continued to jump up and down and said: "I mean, fat man, I've never lied to a bear again. Why do you think she must be your Mommy? You two are not the same breed."
Tuantuan turned his head, looked at the monkey and said, "She is me, Mommy. She has the unique aura of our panda family. Only I can smell this aura, and it is absolutely unmistakable."
The monkey was dumb after hearing this. Indeed, each animal body has its own unique smell. The monkey couldn't explain it: "Haha, have you caught a cold recently and your nose doesn't work?"
Tuantuan still looked into the distance and shook his head, his ears twitching as a few birds teased him.
Tuantuan talked about how An Zhi Mama was cruel to him after coming out of the Bamboo Sea. Especially after meeting Ge Wensong in Mala Town, Mama seemed to not care about him anymore. It kept trying to attract Mama's attention, but Mama He always ignored himself and hurt himself, so he was not happy along the way. As he spoke, tears filled Tuan Tuan's eyes.
The monkey listened quietly. Although it could not fully understand the complex emotions of humans, it could feel the sadness of this dumpling: "Fat man, it is difficult for humans and beasts to get along."
After saying that, the monkey stretched out his little paw, put it on Tuanzi's paw, patted it gently and said, "You still haven't thought about it." After that, the monkey walked to a thin branch and pointed at the vastness. The boundless mountains said: "Have you seen that Mount Emei has inexhaustible delicacies, wild fruits, and some fresh bamboos? I can freely shuttle through this mountain every day, and I will not be affected by the human race." Strange rules bind.”
Tuantuan slowly raised his head and looked at Mr. Monkey, whose body language was quite rich, with longing in his eyes.
The monkey jumped back to Tuanzi, imitating the human race calling for pets, then shook his head and said with a disdainful expression: "Fat man, you are an iron-eating beast, how can you be a slave of the human race?"
"Are you saying that she really isn't my mom?" Tuantuan asked skeptically.
Monkey didn't know what to say. He was afraid of hitting Tuantuan at the most serious level, but was afraid of Tuantuan getting more confused at the worst level: "Humans and beasts have different worlds, and they might leave you behind one day."
Everyone was silent...
The more the monkey talked, the more excited he became. He pulled his paws and pointed deeper into the forest. There were clear streams where you could drink and play freely, and there were hidden tree holes and caves where you could shelter from the wind and rain and sleep peacefully. There are countless new things waiting to be discovered.
The monkey tried to convince Tuan Tuan and then left the human Huo Huo so that Tuan Tuan could be full of happiness.
Tuantuan listened to the words of the old monkey, with a trace of hesitation and wavering in his eyes. He looked in the direction pointed by the old monkey and fell into deep contemplation...
This is Tuantuan's first trip away from home, and like Shen Anzhi, it's his first time facing the world.
Facing Mr. Monkey's explanation, Tuantuan's mood became even worse.
The monkey continued to exert force: "Fat man, if you don't believe it, we can try it."
"Try?" Tuantuan tilted his head and looked at the monkey on the branch.
The monkey said: "The human race will not be sincere to someone who is not one of them. Now that you have met a new love, we will wait and see. You will definitely not look as good as you when you go back."
Although Tuantuan didn't believe that Mommy would be like this, but faced with repeated encouragement from her old cousin, she decided to give it a try.
……
After a long time, Tuantuan and the monkey slowly climbed down from the high tree trunk. As soon as they landed, the monkey quickly walked around behind Tuanzi like a naughty child, jumped lightly on Tuanzi's back.
Tuantuan was staggered by this sudden "attack", but he quickly stabilized his body. It was very repulsive to having something riding on its back, so it shook its round body in an attempt to throw the monkey off.
But the monkey held on to Tuan Tuan's fur tightly, and Tuan Tuan had no choice but to try to throw the monkey off by running.
With a sudden brake, the monkey was unprepared and flew forward directly from Tuantuan's back.
The monkey got up, shook his body, pretended to be angry and yelled at Tuanzi a few times, and then rushed towards Tuantuan with teeth and claws. Not to be outdone, Tuanzi raised his two front paws and struggled with the monkey.
