Chapter 1249: Reason
readx;
Gorillas generally live in the depths of the jungle, although they look fierce, they are actually very docile and timid, and rarely attack humans, Zhuang Rui really doesn't understand, why are the people here so hostile to King Kong?
Even at this moment, those people outside the company's walls still did not disperse, and it seemed that they were still making noise, Zhuang Rui's brows couldn't help frowning, could it be a wrong act to bring King Kong to the birthplace of gorillas?
"Mr. Wei, can you make it clear? How can humans hate gorillas because of themselves?"
Zhuang Rui knew that if he wanted to solve this headache, he still had to ask Mr. Wei, who had been in the local area for several years. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Mr. Wei glanced at King Kong who was squatting beside Zhuang Rui with a little fear, and said: "Mr. Zhuang, the close relatives I am talking about are not us humans, but another primate in Africa...... Chimpanzee. ”
"Chimpanzees, aren't they all orangutans?" Zhuang Rui was a little dazed when he heard this, he didn't know what the difference between chimpanzees and gorillas was, wasn't it just a word difference?
"Ahem, Mr. Zhuang, this is a different ......"
Seeing that Zhuang Rui really didn't understand the difference between the two, Mr. Wei coughed and explained to Zhuang Rui: "Although chimpanzees and gorillas belong to the orangutan family, chimpanzees are the smallest species in the orangutan family, with a body length of 70~92.5 cm, which is only slightly larger than another primate, the baboon.
And the reason why the natives here hate this gorilla you brought is mainly because of the relationship between chimpanzees and baboons......"
It turns out that in the dense forests of Central Africa, not only gorillas, but also various primates live, among which the chimpanzees and baboons that live in groups are the most powerful.
In the races of these two creatures, there is a clear hierarchical order and strict discipline, and the cruelty of punishment is terrifying, especially the baboon group, after a cycle of several years, there will be wars, or groups or change kings, the new for the old, the strong for the weak is the law of the baboon kingdom.
And these animals, as people think, are not all vegetarians, they are actually omnivorous creatures, not only eating the green leaves and stems of trees, but also insects and some small animals.
Amazingly, chimpanzees even go to eat their close relatives...... Other primates, such as colobus monkeys, baboons, etc., even attack chimpanzees of different groups of their own kind in order to gain territory and food, similar to human warfare.
According to scientists' analysis, this is because chimpanzees and baboons need the protein and nutrients provided by meat in order to survive, which makes them plan to hunt some creatures within their ability.
However, due to the large-scale development of Central Africa in recent years, the forests have been cut down excessively, and the forests that have been cut down have become arable land for the local people.
This makes the living space of chimpanzees and baboons gradually compressed and reduced, so that their sources of food are reduced a lot, and this existential crisis will inevitably lead to conflicts between chimpanzees and baboons and humans.
As mentioned earlier, in Africa, farming is the work of women, and those black women have to take care of their children while farming, and in general, they leave their children in the fields and are busy in the fields.
This way of working allows the chimpanzees and baboons to take advantage of the loopholes, they will quietly sneak into the field, take the young children away when the adults are not looking, and the result is that the children are ...... Eat!
There are even groups of brave chimpanzees and baboons that will enter the villages where humans live and steal human babies, and as above, the babies will become their food.
Although this may seem appalling, it is a daily occurrence in Central Africa, close to the forests.
Scientists have calculated that in areas where humans live near forests, the infant mortality rate of chimpanzees who are stolen and eaten by chimpanzees is much higher than the normal number of deaths.
This led to wars between humans and groups such as chimpanzees and baboons, which were hunted in large numbers by the indigenous people.
But they are also taking revenge on the humans, and if they can't beat the big ones, they will take the small ones, and this strategy has forced many villages to move away from their original homes.
Chimpanzees and baboons may steal human babies and young children just for the sake of survival, but in this way, humans have formed a mortal enmity with them.
Especially the village where Zhuang Rui is now is at the edge of the forest, and I don't know how many times this kind of thing has happened.
After seeing the gorilla, the soldiers with guns and the people in the local villages will behave like this, and don't gorillas be a little bigger than chimpanzees? Who knows if they eat children or not?
"Is there such a thing?"
After listening to Mr. Wei's story, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but feel a little creepy, and he was even more glad in his heart, fortunately he didn't let his wife and children come over, otherwise if something happened, he would regret it.
After knowing the reason for the enmity between the locals and the orangutan, Zhuang Rui was also afraid that King Kong would be hurt, so he thought for a while and said, "Why don't I send King Kong back to the ship?"
In fact, he brought King Kong to Africa this time, because he wanted King Kong to choose for himself, whether to continue to follow him or stay in this land, but in this situation, Zhuang Rui would not leave King Kong behind even if he was killed.
"Uh......h Whew......"
Before Zhuang Rui's words fell, King Kong, who was originally squatting on the ground, suddenly jumped up, beat his chest very dissatisfied, and said that he was unwilling to leave.
You must know that not only human beings are inseparable from their homeland, but also animals have an inseparable affection for the place where their ancestors lived.
Since coming here, King Kong has felt that the lush forest in the distance has a great attraction to it, as if calling it to go, and after hearing Zhuang Rui's words, King Kong showed his restlessness.
King Kong's actions caused several bodyguards to put their hands on the handle of the gun again, but they had seen the bones of the babies who had been eaten with their own eyes, and they had no good feelings for animals like orangutans.
"King Kong, no, it's too dangerous for you here, you still have to live on Xuanrui Island in the future, there are also primeval forests there......"
"Woo ......"
After King Kong heard Zhuang Rui's words, he rolled on the ground, and then half-knelt and couldn't stop clasping his fists at Zhuang Rui, that kind of funny look, but it could be seen that everyone in the room was not so afraid of King Kong.
"Mr. Wei, why don't we tell the people in this village, is it okay if King Kong is harmless? I'll give them some more materials to compensate, you say...... Will they be able to accept Vajra's existence?"
Seeing King Kong's appearance, Zhuang Rui couldn't bear it in his heart, he had a tacit understanding with these partners of his own, although King Kong couldn't speak, Zhuang Rui also knew its yearning for this jungle.
Mr. Wei was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but seeing Zhuang Rui's firm look, he finally nodded and said, "That's ...... I'll try it, but until then, it's best not to let King Kong out......"
After explaining Zhuang Rui, Mr. Wei called a black bodyguard and walked out of the house together.
In fact, this matter is not very difficult to do, the Central African Company has been stationed here for almost 2 years, and the relationship with the locals is very harmonious, and after finding the chief of that tribe, the matter has been resolved.
Of course, things are not so simple, after the chief gathered all the fallen people, Zhuang Rui took King Kong to swim around the tribe.
In the process, Zhuang Rui asked King Kong to express enough kindness to those children, put the children on its shoulders, and successfully made these black brothers with similar skin color to King Kong accept the view that King Kong is a kind gorilla.
In the following days, Zhuang Rui was afraid that the people of the tribe would be unfavorable to King Kong, and he had been inseparable from King Kong.
However, the situation is developing in a good direction, and those children who originally saw King Kong turned their heads and ran, after a few days of familiarity, actually dared to play with King Kong, and those adults also recognized King Kong's existence.
After solving the trouble caused by King Kong, Zhuang Rui had the heart to deal with the company's affairs, but as long as King Kong went out, he still asked Peng Fei to follow to protect King Kong from being harmed, don't look at this guy's big size, he is still vulnerable in front of gunpowder weapons.
In fact, the Central African Mining Company does not have much to deal with Zhuang Rui, nothing more than to receive some chiefs of the surrounding tribes to discuss labor issues, and other matters are handled by professionals.
After arriving in Central Africa for more than a week, Zhuang Rui went to the mining area, and after the rare mines were mined, he became idle again, and at noon one day, Zhuang Rui asked Mr. Wei to be called to his office.
"What? You're going into the primeval forests of the Congo?"
Compared with Zhuang Rui's leisure, that Mr. Wei was busy, and after hearing the reason why Zhuang Rui was looking for him, he couldn't help jumping to his feet.
"Yes, this is supposed to be the hometown of King Kong's ancestors, and I want to take it to find the gorilla's territory in depth......"
Zhuang Rui said that he was a little embarrassed here, "Well, you also know that King Kong is male, and he has reached the age of finding a spouse......"
As the boss of King Kong, although Zhuang Rui can't let his wives and concubines be in groups, at least he must solve King Kong's basic physiological problems, right? Otherwise, I am afraid that gorillas like King Kong will really be extinct in the world.
"No, absolutely not, Mr. Zhuang, although the Congo primeval forest is not far from here, it is the most chaotic area, and I can't guarantee your safety when you go there......"
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Mr. Wei couldn't cry or laugh, he hadn't returned to China for two years, but he didn't expect that the domestic gentlemen had developed to such an extent, not to mention having such a feared pet, but also to find a wife for it?
