Golden Fishing Village

Back in the village, Ao Muyang had two more marmosets in his hands.

On the way, he checked and found that marmosets belong to animals listed in Appendix II of the CITES Convention and are national Class II wild protected animals. Due to the influence of human activities and natural disasters, there is a risk of extinction, and the endangered level is gradually increasing.

There are 3 genera and 35 species of small monkeys in the family of marmosets. They are small lower apes native to Central and South America. These three genera are mainly emperor tamarins, common cotton-eared monkeys, and yellow-headed marmosets. He looked carefully at the two little monkeys he got. According to the information found on the Internet, they should be yellow-headed marmosets.

The yellow-headed marmoset, also known as the yellow-crowned marmoset, is a marmoset genus unique to Brazil. It is a tree-dwelling animal like a squirrel. It is quite agile and likes to move in small groups during the day.

The reason for this judgment is that the yellow-headed marmoset has claws on all toes except the big toe, which is to facilitate jumping on trees. In addition, they lack the third pair of molars.

Yellow-headed marmosets can be kept as pets. They have entered human families since the early 17th century. This small monkey can grow to a maximum height of 25 to 30 centimeters and weigh less than one kilogram. Its golden fur is as fine and smooth as silk. It is very cute, smart, and timid.

Because yellow-headed marmosets like to live together in groups, once they are captured by hunters, they are a group. Ao Muyang estimated that these two little monkeys were captured with their own kind.

They were unlucky. If they were sold to a pet store, they could at least be taken home and carefully raised. They were sold to a restaurant, and then their own kind were made into dishes one by one.

Yellow-headed marmosets are smart and have high IQs. They were obviously frightened by the experience of their own kind. After being taken away by Ao Muyang, they kept shaking in the cage.

The brains of animals are not as developed as those of humans. They have a low tolerance for shock. For example, once hawks and falcons are overly frightened, they will die.

Yellow-headed marmosets will also have problems after being overly frightened. Ao Muyang had no choice but to feed them some golden drops. Golden drops are a panacea and have various benefits for animals, fish, and humans.

Sure enough, after eating the golden drops, the yellow-headed marmosets felt better.

They seemed to be full of hatred for the cage, and after calming down a little, they tried to tear the cage apart.

Ao Muyang thought about it and let them out. He closed the car window so that the marmosets would not escape. He couldn't let the two little monkeys go outside because this was not their hometown and they were unable to survive in the wild.

The little yellow-headed marmosets were smarter than he thought. They didn't think about running away. It seemed that they both knew that they were rescued by Ao Muyang and had a good impression of Ao Muyang. After coming out, they got into his pocket.

It happened that the two little monkeys entered a pocket each, and then they looked out and found that their companions were in a similar situation to themselves, so they stayed inside quietly.

In the evening, Lu Zhizi got off work. After returning home, she kicked off her high heels, threw away her schoolbag, and stretched: "I'm so tired, my god, the final exams are finally coming, and the summer vacation is finally coming."

She is now teaching the graduating class, and the sixth graders have to take the final exams earlier than students in other grades.

Ao Muyang came over with a smile on his belt, and said mysteriously: "Xiao Zi, come here, I'll show you two good treasures."

Lu Zhizi glared at him and said: "Don't be so arrogant, you stinky hooligan."

Ao Muyang said angrily: "Hey, don't slander me, although I am a hooligan, how can I be stinky?"

Lu Zhizi said helplessly: "I'm not kidding you, I'm really tired."

"I'm not kidding you, I'm going to show you something good." Ao Muyang said aggrievedly, and after thinking about it, he added, "Two."

After that, he opened his trouser pocket, and two furry golden little heads popped out.

Seeing this scene, Lu Zhizi screamed in surprise and pounced on it.

The two little monkeys were so scared that they quickly shrank back, and one of them even zipped up his trouser pocket.

Lu Zhizi squatted in front of Ao Muyang and shouted in surprise: "Little monkeys, right? Where did you find two little monkeys?"

After school, a parent brought his child to Ao Muyang's house. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lu Zhizi squatting in front of Ao Muyang, and hurriedly pulled the child out.

The child was curious: "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing, Teacher Lu is tidying up the pants for the village chief."

Hearing this, Lu Zhizi stood up awkwardly. She pinched Ao Muyang's cheek and said: "Wait for me, take out the little monkeys."

She hurriedly chased the mother and son and asked: "Xiaoyao's mother, Xiaoyao, what are you looking for me for?"

There was no sound in the living room, and the two little monkeys popped up again.

Ao Muyang opened his hand, and the two of them jumped in his palm. The two little monkeys sat on his palm and scratched their ears and cheeks. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on their fur, showing a moving golden light. Their golden hair was too smooth, and the sun seemed unable to stand on it. The light slid and was extremely beautiful.

Lu Zhizi came back and saw this scene. She sighed softly and said, "Wow, golden lion tamarins, so beautiful, so beautiful!"

The two little monkeys still remembered what she looked like just now. When they found her approaching, they turned around and climbed at the same time. They were very clever and climbed on Ao Muyang as if walking on flat ground. They quickly climbed to the back of his neck and hid together in panic.

Lu Zhizi put her hand on Ao Muyang's shoulder to let the two little monkeys get familiar with her smell. At the same time, she asked, "Where did you get the golden lion tamarin? This is one of the rarest pets in the world."

Ao Muyang told Lu Zhizi about Sun Beilong's dinner invitation, and Lu Zhizi was stunned. He asked, "What's the relationship between Sun Beilong and Jack Ma?"

Ao Muyang was puzzled for a moment and asked, "Are they related? Do you know this person?"

Lu Zhizi shook his head, "I don't know, but you can use golden lion tamarins as food, and just eat its monkey brain. My God, only Jack Ma would be willing to do that, right? This little monkey costs four or five hundred thousand yuan!"

Ao Muyang said, "How can it be so expensive? I checked online, and some places sell it for four or five thousand yuan."

Lu Zhizi asked with wide eyes, "Where did you find it? How is it possible? Is it still sold online now?"

Ao Muyang nodded and said, "Yes, golden velvet, I see someone in the city raises it."

Lu Zhizi rolled his eyes habitually and said, "You are talking about golden velvet, but this is a golden lion tamarin, this is a golden lion tamarin!"

She emphasized it again.

Ao Muyang asked: "Golden lion tamarins? Aren't they golden velvet?"

Lu Zhizi thought for a moment and said: "Well, they are both marmosets, but they are actually distant relatives. However, they look a bit similar, and sometimes people misunderstand their identities."

"Golden lion tamarins are larger than golden velvets, can grow to about 35 cm in height, and have stronger athletic ability. In addition, their fur is brighter in color, and you can see their hair grows around their faces, just like a lion's mane."
