Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 154 Snow Mountain Hot Springs, Bathing with Monkeys
The mother monkey took a few steps forward, looked at the little monkey, and stretched out her hand to touch it.

But until the end, the mother monkey did not actually touch the baby monkey. Instead, she changed her posture and imitated Chen Ying, sitting beside the fire with her knees hugged and looking at the baby monkey intently.

After about an hour, the baby monkey began to move.

During this time, Chen Ying mixed some milk powder in an animal baby bottle and stuffed it into the little monkey's mouth, but it did not suck it, so the milk could only slowly seep into its mouth.

After hearing the noise, the little monkey subconsciously took two puffs. Probably feeling something was not right, it tried hard to keep its eyelids open.

The female monkey came over excitedly, grabbed Chen Ying's fingers, and made a small "squeak" sound from her mouth.

The little monkey stared blankly for a while before stretching out its paws and grabbing the fur on the mother monkey's chest.

Chen Ying reached out and gently touched the mother monkey's body.

Unlike the previous time when the tips of her fur were almost covered with ice particles, the fur on the mother monkey's chest is now soft and warm, just right for keeping her baby warm.

Chen Ying took out the little monkey, unfolded the towel, and placed the baby monkey in the mother monkey's arms.

Smelling the familiar smell, the little monkey hugged his mother with difficulty and began to feed.

When the little monkey took the initiative to hug his mother, there was a noise around him.

Chen Ying was startled and shone the flashlight over there. Several monkeys quickly dodged, making squeaking sounds.

When the mother monkey came before, Chen Ying recognized it. It was a short-tailed macaque, one of the four major monkeys in the reserve. Like the macaque, it belongs to the second category of national monkeys.

In their protected area, the number of Tibetan macaques, short-tailed macaques and rhesus monkeys is not small, only the number of Sichuan golden monkeys is much smaller, and they are basically distributed in the same area, forming a super large golden monkey population.

The living area of ​​macaques is at a lower altitude and closer to human living areas.

In addition, there are Tibetan macaques, which are more numerous on the alpine meadows. The mountain where Gulagou is located is basically the territory of Tibetan macaques.

The short-tailed macaques live on this mountain and the mountain next to it.

Now, except for the macaque cubs, he has petted the cubs of the other three types of monkeys with remarkable success.

The video of rescuing the little monkey tonight can be edited and made into a special feature. This is also one of the purposes of his going up the mountain this time, to collect enough materials on wildlife rescue.

As if realizing that Chen Ying would not cause any harm to them, an elderly female monkey came over first and handed Chen Ying a large hairy chestnut fruit.

Following the monkey grandmother's friendly gesture, another ten monkeys stuffed fruits into his mouth.

Chen Ying didn't have teeth as sharp as a monkey, so she simply put the chestnut fruits into the fire to roast them. After the shells burst open, she broke them open and took out the flesh to eat.

He also gave one to the monkey grandmother so that it could have a taste.

After the monkey grandmother ate one, her old face trembled and she bared her teeth and shouted at the back. Soon, a group of monkeys came over and piled up the chestnuts in a small pile.

Chen Ying was observing these monkeys. Almost all of them had ice particles on the tips of their hair, and quite a few of them had quite a bit of ice on their bodies.

"Did you go take a bath? It's so cold, aren't you afraid of getting sick?"

Chen Ying chatted quietly with the monkey grandmother.

The monkey grandmother looked at him calmly and motioned for him to give it some roasted chestnuts.

"The water is hot. Little monkey, Mao, no."

Chen Ying looked around carefully again and discovered that, apart from the strong single monkeys, there were also several female monkeys with cubs who did not have any ice particles on their bodies.

It is estimated that the young monkey mother next to him gave birth to a baby for the first time. She was too playful and took the baby monkey to take a hot spring bath.

Hiss, are there hot springs in this mountain?

Chen Ying, who was a step slower in thinking of this question, had his eyes lit up.

"Where is the hot spring? Is it far away?" "Not far. In the past, in the ravine. There is plenty of water."

Grandmother Monkey answered slowly, her eyes never leaving the fragrant roasted chestnuts.

The other monkeys also wanted to eat, but they didn't dare to reach out.

Just now, a young monkey tried to take chestnuts from the fire, and Maomao was nearly burned. He was so scared that he doesn’t dare to get close to the fire.

In the second half of the night, after the monkey left, Chen Ying forced himself to stay awake and waited for dawn in a daze.

At half past six, Lao Gao woke up and asked Chen Ying to sleep a little longer, but Chen Ying refused.

"The monkeys came last night. I saw they were all wet. They must have gone to take a bath. It's so cold in this weather that I don't dare to take a bath. I suspect there is a hot spring over there. Do you want to go check it out?"

Lao Gao immediately became interested and said, "Let's go to the wild hot springs today."

I followed the direction pointed by the old female monkey last night, and sure enough, before I got close, I smelled the scent of natural sulfur.

The hot spring is located in a ravine. It is not very large and has formed a dozen natural pools from top to bottom.

But the big one is only about ten square meters, and the small one can probably only fit two feet in.

The monkeys were also taking a bath. They were soaking in the larger and shallower hot springs, and there were a few young monkeys swimming.

Beside the two small ponds, mother monkeys with their cubs sat on the rocks, combing each other's hair.

Chen Ying first used his mobile phone to shoot a video of monkeys taking a hot spring bath, focusing on one of the young female monkeys, whose resentment for taking a hot spring bath was almost materializing.

But the two female monkeys sitting next to it, holding it from the front and back, proved that it was an unreliable new mother who was under strict supervision.

The arrival of Chen Ying and his friends made the monkeys a little panicked.

One of the monkeys, who was huge in stature, jumped out of the water and gave them a threatening look.

At this time, the monkey grandmother sitting on the wood made a sharp sound. The monkey king's expression was obviously stunned. After taking a few breaths, he turned his head and went back to the hot spring pool.

Chen Ying and Lao Gao chose a place farthest away from the monkey group and sat down.

The water temperature is relatively high, about 40 degrees.

After soaking his feet for a while, Lao Gao couldn't help but want to go into the water.

After sleeping on the cold ground all night, it is so refreshing to soak in a hot spring.

Just when Chen Ying was hesitating whether to go into the water, the young monkey mother came over with her child.

It tore the little monkey off its chest with lightning speed and threw it to Chen Ying, then quickly threw it into the pool.

If it hadn't fed the little monkey before, looking at its smooth movements, no one would believe that it was a female monkey.

The two monkeys on the stone who were responsible for guarding it were also dumbfounded. They looked at Chen Ying, then at the young female monkey, and then at the child in Chen Ying's arms. One of the female monkeys was extremely angry.

The young female monkey was so brave that she hid behind a male monkey. The male monkey stood in the middle of the pool like a wooden stake, not daring to move.

This makes me hard to describe the feeling of being a post-2000s mom!
The little monkey first made a sharp cry, and suddenly seemed to smell something. It put its little head close to Chen Ying's chin and sniffed it. Then it skillfully pulled open his clothes on his chest and buried itself in them, not forgetting to hold its finger in its mouth.

Do all little monkeys know this trick?
The little Tibetan macaque at the first aid station was very skilled at burying its chest, especially when the weather got cold. Almost every night in the second half of the night, it would run into Chen Ying's quilt and curl itself up on his chest.

I don't have the habit of drooling, otherwise Chen Ying wouldn't have enough clothes to change.

Snow-capped mountains, hot springs, and a group of furry friends. Even a god wouldn’t change this day.

There seemed to be quite a few monkeys bathing in the hot springs. Unfortunately, after the earthquake, the hot springs in Longchi are gone.
