Chapter 193
“Are you starting to get upset now?”
“Yes, you are getting excited.”
Chen Ling nodded.
“It’s really fast enough.”
The lynx glanced at his two dogs but didn't respond.
The dog started to wag its tail when it found traces of prey.
Use this to remind hunters.
A good hunting dog will not bark loudly when it is upset.
Some hunting dogs have bad tempers and bark when they are teased.
This kind of hunting dog that barks too early can easily disrupt the hunting plan and alarm the prey prematurely.
Not only will it reduce the harvest, but it will also be disliked by fellow hunting team members when hunting in groups.
Xiao Jin’s performance was very good.
He shook his head and swayed his tail, hummed softly, barked tentatively, and gradually increased his screams.
This gradual method of raising a ruckus means that the prey is very far away and the cry will not alarm them.
It uses this method to deliver useful information to Chen Ling.
“That’s really good.”
Chen Ling praised, squatted down and stroked Xiaojin’s head, telling him the difference between this time and the past.
In the past, the purpose of driving mountains was to drive prey away from the mountains and forests.
This time it is a search but not a chase.
Just find the location of the golden monkeys without disturbing them or driving them away.
The purpose is to find, not to hunt.
He told Xiao Jin.
The lynx was watching, wanting to see any difference in the way he communicated with the hound.
After looking at it for a while, I was disappointed.
Because there is really nothing surprising about it.
At this time, Han Ninggui and the others collected the monkey hair, footprints, and feces left nearby and took pictures of those that needed to be photographed.
After finishing it, he said: "Fugui, we are ready here, you can let the dog find it."
"Okay."
Chen Ling responded.
Then he stood up and said to Wang Cunye and Wang Qingwen: "Dad, just send you and your eldest brother here."
He also gave them the rabbits and squirrels that Heiwa and Xiaojin had caught and asked them to take them back.
"Well, you should be careful when walking in the mountains."
Wang Cunye nodded and said to Wang Qingzhong: "Second brother, watch Lingzi carefully."
"I know dad, you guys should go back quickly."
...Watching my father-in-law and uncle leave.
The search for the location of the golden monkey is about to begin officially.
I saw Chen Ling patting Xiao Jin on the head, and Xiao Jin, who was ready, rushed out immediately.
The two dogs Heiwa and Shanmao stayed behind and continued to follow the team.
Continuing up the mountain forest, Xiao Jin sniffed and stopped every two or three hundred meters.
Only after the team catches up will they move forward again.
In doing so, Bobcat couldn't help but sigh again.
“It’s really hard to believe that this is a dog less than one year old, and it’s too stable.”
Hound dogs become more and more demonic as they get older.
Especially the alpha dogs, the older they get, the more they understand human nature.
Some alpha dogs are even so smart that people wonder if they have become sperms.
But this is only normal when it comes to old hunting dogs.
It is really rare for a dog that is more than half a year old and less than one year old to be able to do what Xiao Jin does.
But with such a cooperative dog, it is undoubtedly much easier and more comfortable to track the target.
"Professor, are these two dogs, Ling Zi, really as good as you say?"
After Wang Qingzhong listened for a long time, these people at home kept praising him, and they became even more enthusiastic in the mountains.
Isn’t it just a hunting dog? It even blew up to the sky.
If this dog hadn't been raised by his brother-in-law, he wouldn't have been able to help asking.
Han Ninggui often interacts with villagers from all over the country, so he naturally understands Wang Qingzhong's mentality.
Then he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether it looks good or not. For those of us, it is very good and can be of great help in field operations, but it is not necessary. But for Bobcats and others For this kind of person, such a dog is what he always misses in his dreams. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the dog in his dreams..."
"He previously offered two thousand yuan to breed with Heiwa, but even the rich and powerful refused."
Wang Qingzhong was frightened when he saw him.
He smiled again and said: "Look at the performance of these two dogs now. Not to mention two thousand yuan, but five thousand or ten thousand yuan. As long as the rich man is willing to nod, he is willing to give it. Do you believe it?"
"Just to breed dogs? Pay so much money?"
"Ang, just to breed dogs."
"I don't believe it. We don't need so much to get a wife here."
Wang Qingzhong felt that the old man was lying to him.
But Bobcat’s next words.
Wang Qingzhong suddenly fell silent.
This man is actually willing to give so much money.
"Haha, come on, as the old saying goes, evil bamboo shoots produce good bamboo shoots, and good hunting dog seedlings are not necessarily produced by good hunting dogs."
Chen Ling knew that bobcats love dogs to their core.
But I didn’t expect it to get to this point.
"That's true."
Bobcat nodded in approval. His five-red and white pine was like this. The puppy's parents looked inconspicuous, and the puppy itself was nothing special. place, but it turns out to be an excellent hunting dog.
It only took less than a year and a half to train him and he became a top dog.
If he hadn't met these two dogs from the Chen Ling family, they would have been the most talented hunting dogs he had ever seen.
On average, it takes about three years to fully train an alpha dog.
"Hunting dogs are easy to find, but alpha dogs are rare..."
"To be honest, these two of yours are really the dogs of my dreams."
"Haha, then you'd better stop worrying about it as soon as possible."
That's it, chatting all the way.
Xiao Jin leads the way.
We climbed two more ridges until it was past noon, and when everyone was about to stop to rest and eat, Xiao Jin suddenly ran back, with his tail raised not far away, wagging rapidly.
This time, it just wagged its tail and didn't make any sound.
This proves that the golden monkey is nearby.
Everyone quickly cheered up and did not dare to speak louder.
But quickly prepare a camera and other tools so that you can take pictures at any time.
Han Ninggui even took out a few fruits.
Wait until they are ready.
Chen Ling gestured to Xiao Jin to continue leading the way.
So Xiao Jin was in front and everyone was behind.
The group of people just touched it quietly.
As the pines and cypresses grow farther away from the heights.
In the dense mountain forest, the sound of water flow can slowly be heard.
When the sound of water flow gets closer and closer.
Xiao Jin suddenly stopped near a mountain ridge.
Everyone stopped immediately.
After cautiously approaching, I saw a group of golden monkeys sitting on various branches of a tall and sturdy tree, catching lice from each other and lazily basking in the sun.
Under the big tree, there are also little golden monkeys playing. They climb up and down, playing back and forth along the fallen tree trunks above the creek.
When playing happily, they will also make bursts of childish cries.
Like a group of elves living in the mountains.
"It's golden monkeys, there are thirty-one of them."
Han Ninggui clenched his fists excitedly.
If he were not afraid of disturbing these beautiful elf-like creatures, he would even want to shout excitedly.
"Quick, don't be stunned, hurry up and shoot."
He urged in a low voice.
But the two middle-aged men behind him were also attracted by the group of monkeys. They came to their senses after hearing this, and quickly picked up their cameras and started working.
About ten minutes later.
The two men signaled to Han Ninggui: "Professor, we have finished filming."
"Are you sure you've taken the photo? Check again."
After checking it twice more, let Han Ninggui take a look and confirm that it was correct.
Han Ninggui asked them to keep it, then took out the fruits he had prepared in advance, called Shanmao, Chen Ling and Wang Qingzhong, and cautiously approached the monkeys. Those who stayed continued to cooperate with the filming.
Because I had previously learned that these golden monkeys had recently had their babies stolen, and I was afraid that approaching them rashly would anger them.
So I decided to take pictures of them first and then try to get up close.
But what surprised them was.
When they approached and came into sight of the monkeys.
This group of golden monkeys did not issue a warning or have any extreme reaction. They were just stunned for a few seconds, then jumped down from the tree in twos and threes, grabbed the little monkeys, and ran to them with their families. in front of.
Then he squatted in front of them without any acknowledgment, and surrounded them in a circle.
The little monkeys were still scratching slowly and looking around.
Professor Han and others were dumbfounded when they saw this situation.
“What’s going on?”
“When we inspected Shennongjia a few years ago, the wild golden monkeys there were not like this...”
A few people There was a moment of staring from big eyes to small eyes.
Although wild golden monkeys are docile than other monkeys, they will not actively attack humans like other monkeys.
Even if you break into their territory, they will not fight back as long as you do not do anything to harm them.
But he will avoid it immediately.
They are naturally docile, timid and defensive.
But the current group of monkeys dare to take the initiative to contact these people.
Han Ninggui was really surprised.
Not only him, but Wang Qingzhong also felt strange: "That's right, it stands to reason that golden monkeys are quite afraid of people. In the past, the traveling gang encountered them going down the mountain to drink water. As long as they heard the bells hung on our pack horses ringing, they would be scared. They have been hiding away for a long time."
"How can these golden monkeys be so brave now? They are not even afraid of dogs."
"Indeed..."
< br>The middle-aged man following behind quickly took a photo of this magical scene, and then said: "Professor, do you still remember the losses we suffered in Shennongjia?"
"Of course I remember. At that time, there were less than two hundred golden monkeys left in Shennongjia, and they were about to die. We went over to investigate the reasons. In order to get close to them, we followed them for more than two months before we successfully gained their trust..."
Han Ninggui sighed.
The golden monkey is indeed different from other monkeys.
Even though he knew they were following him, he did not attack them.
But take them in circles.
We walked around in the mountains, specifically choosing dangerous places. The most impressive thing was that we led a group of them to the foot of a cliff. After trapping them, the monkeys easily climbed over and left gracefully, leaving them staring at the cliff. Stare.
Such things happen all the time.
Until the end, in order to get acquainted with this group of unusual monkey nobles, they did not change clothes or take a shower for more than a month.
I am afraid that after changing clothes and taking a shower, the monkeys will mistake them for another group of strangers, and they will have to cultivate trust again.
It took them two months to make them look like savages before the monkeys dropped their guard against them.
"Could it be that the golden monkeys in Shennongjia have different personalities from those here in Qinling?"
Han Ninggui had some questions.
Thinking like this, he handed two oranges to the two golden monkeys and shook them.
He said with a smile: "Hello, do you want to eat the orange?"
The two monkeys took it in their hands, smelled it with their noses, and looked up at a few people, seeming a little disappointed.
But it was not thrown away.
This is what makes golden monkeys better than other monkeys.
If you don’t give me food, they won’t ask for it, let alone snatch it from you.
If you give them something to eat, they won’t throw it away even if it’s fruit they don’t like.
After the two golden monkeys took the oranges, they looked at them and gently peeled off the orange peels with their hands.
Put it in your mouth.
Eat the orange peel first.
After eating the orange peel, stuff the pulp into your mouth.
Bah, bah, bah, with the refreshing aroma of orange juice dripping, the two monkeys ate deliciously, with juice splashing everywhere.
“Ouch, eat slowly, eat slowly, look at the food all over your body...”
Professor Han said cheerfully.
At this time, he also put aside his doubts and was amused by the eating looks of the two golden monkeys.
Then he distributed the fruits in the bag to other people around him and fed them to the golden monkeys around him.
“Ah, what are you doing?”
Chen Ling exclaimed.
"What's wrong, what's wrong Fugui?"
Shanmao and others looked over quickly.
I saw a female monkey in front of Chen Ling. She put the little golden monkey in front of him. After taking a look at him, she squatted there with her head down and gently picked her fingers.
The little monkey was only two palms long, lying on the ground and screaming helplessly. The cry was pitiful and weak.
"I was feeding the monkey here, and it ran from behind and put the little monkey in front of me..."
Chen Ling spread his hands and said that he was also confused.
In fact, he knew in his heart that as early as when the group of golden monkeys ran over on their own initiative, he knew that it was caused by the cave melon fruit he gave them the day before yesterday.
The taste of those fruits makes them unforgettable.
That’s why he remained silent just now.
Unexpectedly, this female monkey actually came to him and put the little monkey in front of him.
"Eh? This little monkey is injured. It can't be the one you met the day before yesterday, right?"
Han Ninggui's eyes narrowed and he keenly noticed the blood scab on the little monkey's neck.
"It seems to be that one."
Chen Ling nodded, his fruit was not in vain after all, he saved the little guy.
"Being snatched away by a clouded leopard and actually surviving? This little monkey is very lucky." Han Ninggui smacked his lips and quickly asked someone to get the medical kit. After confirming that the monkeys really did not have an overreaction, Quickly inject and treat the little monkey and clean the wound.
As for bandaging, there is no need to bandage.
Monkeys are very active. If the wound is itchy or uncomfortable, they will scratch it.
So there is no need to take too much trouble, just disinfect the wound.
Professor Han and these people are quite professional.
The little monkey’s wound was quickly disinfected.
I also received anti-inflammatory and antibacterial injections before.
As long as there is enough food, it will not be a problem for the little monkey to grow up healthily through this winter.
They put the little monkey in front of the female golden monkey.
The little monkey was still shouting weakly and hoarsely. The mother monkey gently held the little monkey in her arms, but still followed Chen Ling step by step.
The monkeys were watching, but Chen Ling couldn't drive it away, so he fed it fruits and peanuts.
"Haha, Lingzi, this female monkey is relying on you."
Wang Qingzhong smiled when he saw this.
Others also laughed, feeling that the group of monkeys they met today was different from the golden monkeys they met before.
But ask Wang Qingzhong, a local, and he said he has never encountered anything like this before.
Listening to his explanation, Professor Han and others felt that it was no different from the wild golden monkeys they had previously tracked and investigated.
Let people record it.
Then with doubts, a group of people took out the cooking utensils and started making lunch.
When they light a fire to cook.
The monkeys did not leave, but were playing nearby.
The little monkeys would follow them to the stream from time to time. When they were cleaning the cooking utensils, they would also follow them to play in the water. They would also drink two mouthfuls of water by the way, as if they wanted to taste the pot water that had been used to clean the cooking utensils. , what’s the difference in taste.
It's time to eat.
They were eating under the tree.
The monkeys were sitting on the tree, watching them quietly.
Such a harmonious scene made Han Ninggui and others very happy, saying that this trip was not in vain.
The two middle-aged men in charge of the filming were also very excited and quickly filmed these precious scenes.
The young man also recorded this strange encounter in his notebook.
All in all, this trip to look for golden monkeys was really full of surprises.
But after eating, they were ready to leave.
The unexpected happened again.
The female monkey actually put the little monkey in front of Chen Ling again.
Chen Ling was extremely helpless.
Others were also very surprised.
In the end it was Han Ninggui who spoke.
“I don’t think we need to make a fuss.”
“After all, we still have too little contact with the wild golden monkeys.”
“Past cases are not enough to prove everything.”
“At the same time, we cannot ignore their unique characteristics.”
“For example, we cannot ignore their wisdom as primates. Especially when it comes to treating cubs”
