In the tide of "intellectual youth going to the mountains and the countryside" in the 1960s and 70s, the development of Hainan Island is an important part. 110,000 educated youth came to the farm of the Hainan Island Construction Corps and sweated heavily in the rubber forest ravaged by mosquitoes, spending their youthful years. Most of the educated youth who support Hainan Island are from Guangdong. Here we share the adventure of Guangdong educated youth on Hainan Island.
This educated youth surnamed Li. He had just finished high school when he went to Hainan Island to work in a queue in 1973. To facilitate the narrative, he called him "Xiao Li".
In recent years, the development of scenic spots in my country has been in full swing. The monkeys in some scenic spots have been "spoiled", and they are arrogant, snatching tourists' food, scratching and biting people, and they have become "bully" in scenic spots. However, Guangdong educated youth Xiao Li likes monkeys very much because the monkeys from Hainan Island have helped him a lot.

When Xiao Li went to Hainan to go to the lineup, he was separated from another educated youth in Nanwan to herd cattle. They set up a thatched hut on the nearby hillside, next to it was a cowshed and a wasteland opened to grow corn.
There are common macaque in Hainan, and there are also precious and unique breeds of Hainan gibbons. Although macaques were tired by nature, they were not many at that time and were not as presumptuous as monkey groups in today's scenic spots. When Xiao Li and his companions grazed cattle, they often encountered groups of macaques and got along well. The two even distributed the unfinished food to the monkeys.
There are two macaque groups in Nanwan, one group in Shandong and one group in the west, each with one monkey king. Xiao Li calls it the Eastern Monkey Group and the Western Monkey Group. Two groups of monkeys fought as soon as they met. The local production team leader warned Xiao Li and the others to beware of monkey groups when the corn is ripe.
Sure enough, something happened as soon as the corn ripened. One day, the Donghou Group broke into the cornfield, squeaking and breaking the corn on the cob. When Xiao Li and his companions saw it, they hurried over to drive away the monkeys. Unexpectedly, another group of monkeys arrived, and the enemies were particularly jealous when they met, and the two groups of monkeys fought in the cornfield.
The two monkey kings are fighting one-on-one, and the monkey king in the western group is stronger and stronger. They chase the monkey king in the eastern group to bite. The monkey monkeys in the fierce battle have changed their tactics. More than a dozen monkeys throw away their opponents to protect the leader, rushed up and beat the monkey king in the western group, and beat the other side to flee. The monkeys in the western group were unable to cooperate, and the monkey king ran away. The remaining monkeys were unwilling to fight and fled.
The war ended, and the monkey group in the east also ran away, leaving a mess, and the corn was ruined. Xiao Li and his companions were furious and found a hunting rifle through the production team. The two swore that they would shoot when they saw monkeys in the future and kill one of them.
Not long after, Xiao Li's companion was transferred away, leaving only Xiao Li herding cattle. He wears a hunting rifle every day when he goes out, preparing to find the opportunity to teach the monkey group a lesson. Once, two monkey groups fought again to compete for lychees. Xiao Li was very happy and hid nearby to watch the battle. He was ready to wait until both sides were exhausted before using a hunting rifle to clean them up.
Who knew that the monkey group was fighting hard, and suddenly they all stopped, automatically lined up, covering their eyes with their paws, trembling all over, looking extremely frightened. Xiao Li felt puzzled, and then saw a few animals like dogs approaching the monkey group, which turned out to be jackals.
jackal is also called jackal dog . It is smaller than a wolf, but extremely cruel. It runs quickly, has a sharp mouth, sharp teeth, and its claws are like iron hooks. Other animals will get skin and flesh when they are caught. Xiao Li has heard that once a monkey group encounters a jackal, he never runs away because it is useless to run. There are always a few monkeys caught and eaten. So the monkeys waited for death and let the jackals carry and eat, and it depends on luck whoever lives or dies.
Now, Xiao Li saw this scene with his own eyes, and was surprised and didn't bother to shoot the monkey anymore, and hid it aside and watched it strange. I saw a few jackals circled around the monkey group for a few times, then brought a few leaves and placed them on the heads of the two monkey kings in the east and west. Seeing this, the remaining monkey quietly retreated aside and ran away without a trace in a blink of an eye.
jackal picked two strong monkey kings, stepped on their backs, and bit the monkey hair with their mouths and pulled it down. They are very particular about prey, and monkey hair will not be eaten without stripping it naked. Every time a tuft of hair was pulled out, the two monkey kings screamed, which sounded very creepy.Although Xiao Li hated the monkeys for ruining the crops, he couldn't bear it at this time and raised his hunting rifle to aim at the jackal. As soon as the gunshot sounded, one jackal fell down, and the remaining few ran away immediately.
The two monkey kings looked at Xiao Li and also got into the jungle.
Xiao Li went back to find Niu Qun, it was time to rush back. After walking a few steps, I found that the cattle herd was slowly walking towards the cowshed. It turned out that forty or fifty monkeys were surrounding the cow, and under the command of the two monkey kings, they were helping Xiao Li drive the cows. Xiao Li couldn't help but sigh that the monkey is indeed spiritual. From then on, the relationship between the two monkey groups and Xiao Li became amazing.
In the next few years, two monkey groups helped Xiao Li herd and drove cattle almost every day. The monkeys no longer ruined the corn grown by Xiao Li. Whenever the harvest season comes, the monkey groups will come to help Xiao Li break the corn, and they work very hard. Without Xiao Li's permission, they didn't even hold a corn cob. Xiao Li gave the monkey some food from time to time, and the monkey also gave him lychees and other wild fruits.
The two monkey groups occasionally fight, but as soon as Xiao Li appears, the monkey groups immediately stop fighting and show friendship with each other. There were several times when Xiao Li fell ill and was unable to go out to herd cattle in bed. As a result, both monkey groups came. The Monkey King took some of his men to herd cattle, and some monkeys stayed to accompany Xiao Li.
Originally, Xiao Li was very lonely in Nanwan. With the company of monkeys, he was never alone again. What happened later gave Xiao Li a new understanding of the monkey's spirituality.
One day, Xiao Li drove the herd of cattle to the hillside, lay on the stone to bask in the sun, and the monkeys were playing in the jungle next to him. Suddenly the herd of cattle started to stir up and ran around the hillside. Xiao Li stood up and looked at it, and was shocked. At some point, dozens of jackals came, occupying the heights and approaching the herd of cattle.
Hainan's cattle are big. According to Xiao Li, they are not afraid of tigers, but they are afraid of groups of jackals. Because jackals are more cunning, they often find opportunities to jump on the cow's back and mouth against the cow's butt, which means to dig the anus, and cows are easily caught. Xiao Li quickly raised his hunting rifle, but at a critical moment, the hunting rifle stopped firing.
Xiao Li was so anxious that he was sweating, and he saw that a group of cows could not be saved. At this time, two groups of monkeys in the woods rushed out with a squeaking sound, and rushed straight to the jackal group under the leadership of the Monkey King. Somehow, the monkey group drove the monkeys toward their usually scary natural enemies, and Xiao Li was stunned. Seeing this, the jackal group threw down the cow and pounced on the monkey. The monkey sacrificed his life to save the cow, but why is it the jackal's opponent? The meeting he ran in front was torn to pieces. But when the monkey and the jackal were fighting, Xiao Li quickly repaired the hunting rifle, and the gunshots were shot several times, killing two or three jackals. The jackals didn't bother to deal with the monkey and ran away.
Xiao Li stepped forward and saw that there were many cows, but seven or eight monkeys died, and the two monkey kings were eaten to the point where they were almost bones left. The monkey group squeaked around the remains of the Monkey King, and the sound was very sad. Xiao Li was also very moved. He dug a pit nearby, buried the dead monkey, and set up a tomb, erected a stone tablet, and named it "Monkey Tomb".
Xiao Li and the monkey have been together for several years, and later received a notice of returning to the city. On the day he left Nanwan, he packed his luggage, pushed open the door of the thatched hut, and was moved by the monkey group again. I saw dozens of monkeys standing in line on both sides of the door, one by one with their heads hanging down, as if they knew that Xiao Li was leaving and came to see him off.
Xiao Li slowly walked through the monkey group, and the monkey group followed him, crying all the way, sending it far away. Xiao Li was reluctant to leave, and she cried when she parted. She turned around three times, and the monkey group was watching him. After Xiao Li returned to Guangdong, he never went to Hainan again. Later, he heard from other educated youth that the thatched house he lived in was well preserved and became the residence of monkeys.
When I was a child, I heard from the old man that there was an unknown animal that looked strange and was not big. It was the natural enemy of monkeys and only ate monkey brains. As soon as this animal appears, the monkey group will sit obediently and dare not move. After it picks up its prey, the other monkeys will dare to leave.
In a similar story, an old hunter bumped into an animal that ate a monkey brain and beat it to death. The monkey group also repays the old hunter in various ways. But animals that specialize in eating monkey brains sound a bit mysterious and have no official records.The situation witnessed by educated youth Xiao Li in Hainan shows that the legendary monster that eats monkey brains may have existed.
Although macaques are not likable, they also have valuable side.
