Golden Fishing Village

Chapter 835 841. Background (5)

There was nothing to do in the evening, and both of them had plenty of time, so Lu Zhizi told Ao Muyang the story of the golden lion tamarin.

As early as the 16th century, when the first European colonists landed on the Atlantic coast of Brazil, they discovered this vast tropical rain forest. From the rain forest, they discovered a large number of new species, some of which were delicious, and some of which were new. Ugly, some new species are beautiful, and the golden lion tamarin is the star among them.

Since ancient times, because the golden lion tamarin is so beautiful, many local natives have dreamed of getting it, and hunting has been rampant.

Since Columbus discovered the New World of America, lion-faced tamarins and their kind have been brought to Europe one after another because of their small and exquisite bodies, velvet-like soft and shiny fur, funny faces, and bright eyes that are larger than their body size. With its long tail and so on, it soon became a sensation throughout Europe.

The degree of pampering that marmosets receive in Europe is even greater than the degree to which modern women pamper diamonds. In France in the 17th and 18th centuries, whenever ladies and wives of famous aristocrats appeared in public, they would always hold a marmoset from South America in their arms to increase their worth.

Among them, because of the scarcity and intelligence of golden lion tamarins, they are more precious among their kind. Only rich ladies and eldest ladies have the opportunity to obtain them.

In modern times, golden lion tamarins have become even more scarce. Lu Zhizi said that there are only 200 such tamarins in Brazil. In recent years, due to effective protection and breakthroughs in breeding technology, this small tamarin has become more popular. The number was increased.

Even though there are more people than before, golden lion tamarins are still very rare animals, and Lu Zhizi said it was difficult to understand why they were sent to restaurants.

"I can only say that the person in charge of the restaurant is an idiot. He actually tried to eat the golden lion tamarin as an ordinary baby tamarin! Ordinary baby tamarins should not be treated as food!" She said angrily.

Ao Muyang said: "They were probably smuggled to Hongyang, and there were errors during the smuggling process, which caused people to not understand its value. Is this really a golden lion tamarin? There is no such thing in China, right?"

Lu Zhizi said confidently: "It is definitely a golden lion tamarin. I have seen their specimens in the Museum of Natural Zoology in Boston, and I have also studied them. I can't be wrong."

The two little monkeys hiding in Ao Muyang's collar realized that Lu Zhizi was not a threat to them, and they began to become active. One of the monkeys with a white mouth carefully stretched out his little hand and touched Lu Zhizi's Fingertips, and then quickly ran into the clothes.

Their fur is indeed very smooth, and after scratching on Ao Muyang's skin, it feels like fine silk.

After Lu Zhizi came into contact with them, he went outside and broke off a tender branch from the willow tree, then handed it to the two little monkeys.

The two little monkeys looked at her timidly. After a while, they realized that there was no danger. They hugged the branch and started chewing together.

This surprised Ao Muyang: "Do they like to eat branches? I checked on the Internet that they like to eat insects, fruits, etc., but I couldn't find insects. I fed them a piece of watermelon before, but they were not very interested. "

Lu Zhizi watched the two little monkeys chewing branches with relish and said, "Of course, they can't find food like watermelon in their natural life, so they are inevitably wary when eating them. But they don't like to eat branches. , but suck the sap from the branches.”

In the territory where golden lion tamarins live, many tree trunks or branches are covered with large and small holes. This is caused by them using their sharp claws to dig holes in the trunks or branches in order to suck the sap from the trees.

The long willow branches were chewed up by them. The golden lion tamarin's teeth were very sharp. The willow branches were chewed up like sugar cane that a child had eaten, leaving only wood residue.

The two little marmosets are really smart. After they ate the branches given by Lu Zhizi, they realized that this was a human being they could rely on. After they became more familiar with each other later, they were willing to get into Lu Zhizi's pocket and get into her. in her pocket, and one in her trouser pocket.

For the first time, Lu Zhizi took the initiative to name the two little monkeys: the one in her pocket was called Yidou, and the one in her trouser pocket was called Trouser Pocket...

Ao Muyang thought this was not good, so he also came up with good names. One was called Bima Wen and the other was Monkey King. Lu Zhizi asked him to get out with these two names.

He left obediently, and at the same time he stretched out his finger, and a drop of gold appeared on his fingertip.

Suddenly, the little marmoset's eyes widened and he scrambled to get out of his pocket and jump on Ao Muyang.

Golden lion tamarins are arboreal animals. They are lively and active, with sensitive vision, hearing and smell. They are agile in body and move extremely quickly. They can leap from one tree to another far away in an instant. You can go up, or you can run quickly along tree trunks and branches. Some difficult moves are not only difficult for other monkeys to complete, but even squirrels are beyond their reach.

At this moment, they demonstrated this ability. Ao Muyang was three meters away from Lu Zhizi. Two little monkeys, just a little bit bigger, seemed to be flying. They jumped from Lu Zhizi's shoulders to Ao Muyang, and finally landed on On the hem of his clothes, two little monkeys stretched out their hands to grab the clothes, and then climbed onto his arms. They climbed over his arms and into his palms like walking in the sky. They hugged his fingers and began to suck sweetly.

Lu Zhizi also raised a finger, but no matter how many fingers she raised, the two little monkeys didn't even look at it.

This frustrated her until she went to the tuck shop and bought a pack of dried figs.

Figs are the favorite food of golden lion tamarins. The two little monkeys hid in her pockets and trouser pockets, each holding a dried fruit and chewing it.

At night, Lu Zhizi put a piece of wood at the head of the bed for the little monkeys, and she asked Ao Muyang to dig a small hole in the wood. This was the cave of the little monkeys.

She told Ao Muyang that golden lion tamarins like to sleep in tree holes. Because the hole is very narrow, ordinary carnivores cannot enter, which can effectively avoid enemies and let them sleep peacefully.

The two little monkeys really got into the wooden hole, and then they urinated in it. Fortunately, the monkeys are small and urinate less, otherwise Ao Muyang would have to fall asleep with the smell of urine tonight.

Before going to bed, he called Tu Xinjie.

This call was not made for Geng Jinhu and Sun Beilong, but for himself. He had to give Tu Xinjie a way out. In fact, Tu Xinjie didn't want to make things worse. It was the reason Su Jinnan said that the Coast Guard Detachment still needed Sun Beilong and his brother to provide information.

Sun Beilong had already agreed that he would bear the damage caused by Geng Jinhu to the Big Dragon Head. Not only would he repair the damaged parts of the fishing boat, but he would also upgrade the fishing boat, and he would also pay for it.

In this case, Ao Muyang decided to take a step back. Anyway, Sun Beilong wanted to go out to sea to poach during the fishing ban period, and both sides would have the opportunity to continue the confrontation.
