Modern Prose of Monkey Mountain in My Hometown

Yesterday, I was free on Sunday. Secretary Zhao, the former leader of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, asked me to visit Monkey Mountain in my hometown. My wife heard about it and wanted to go to Monkey Mountain together. Secretary Zhao contacted the guide again, and the four of them were satisfied and went straight to Monkey Mountain.

Want to know the origin of Monkey Mountain in my hometown, listen to me. In Pingdu, Shandong Province, as long as they are adults, almost no one does not know my hometown Qiaojia Village. This is a famous tourist attraction. Longwan Reservoir, like a high gorge leaving Pinghu, is like a pearl embedded in a tourist area. This is the first large-scale village-level reservoir in China in the 1980s, and it ranks as one of the eight scenic spots in Pingdu along with "Longwan Fishing", and has since entered the stage.

A scenic spot was built, which attracted red-faced monkeys. At that time, my hometown invested more than 100,000 yuan to buy 14 monkeys from outside the province and settled down at the head of Pingdu River with beautiful mountains and rivers. The source ape is homophonic, which means that the source (ape) flows far (stays long). Since then, it has become the monkey world of pheasants and ostriches deep in the mountains, named "Monkey Mountain". The natural small stone forest here resembles the Monkey Mountain where monkeys gather, which is another reason. This beautiful little stone forest, about several hundred meters high, is grotesque and pleasing to the eye. Some are like huts with eaves, like pavilions for monkeys to enjoy the cool and warm; Some sit like monkeys, crouch at the foot of the mountain, or climb halfway up the mountain. Some are like monkeys climbing to the top of the mountain overlooking their companions halfway up the mountain and at the foot of the mountain. The middle one is like the "Monkey King", surrounded by monkeys, who don't know what to say or give orders to them. The monkeys seemed to bow their heads and did as they were told. In the stone forest, some people are still like people, like crouching tigers, like beasts devouring prey. It's really lifelike, lifelike. In addition, there is a lush, dense and scattered forest here. Stone forest and forest complement each other, and monkeys can climb, play and grow. Imagine how interesting it would be for monkeys to grow in such a natural "zoo" and "botanical garden"

After settling down, the monkey naturally became the master of the mountain. "Haw, haw ..." The monkey's cry alarmed three ostriches not far away and kept trotting back and forth. And triggered a rare birds running on the ground, pheasants flying in the sky * * * song. What a clever mountain stream map, it brings agility to the beautiful scenic spot. There are apes in the depths of Longwan, turning the once barren mountain into a flower and fruit mountain where monkeys live in groups.

With a suitable growing environment, monkeys are full of energy and breed rapidly. A few years later, they multiplied into forty or fifty monkeys and became a big family of apes. This is a team that cannot be ignored. More monkeys attract tourists and tourists from inside and outside the province and the city. Tourists are crowded. No, it's Monkey Mountain. It's full of people all day. People crowded on the mountain to see the monkeys. One year in Tomb-Sweeping Day, there were thousands of tourists. This is only a village-level tourist area, and tourists are attracted by monkeys.

Since I was a child, I loved watching monkey shows and playing tricks on monkeys, so I have been to Monkey Mountain in my hometown several times, and every time I have something new to watch. I like watching the Monkey King teach monkeys and grandchildren. All the monkeys behaved honestly in front of the Monkey King. Once they leave the Monkey King, they will jump for joy. I also like watching monkeys amuse me. I saw the monkey climb the tree, jump around on the railing, and do strange actions like performances to the audience for a while; After a while, I played with my companions and chased around Monkey Mountain. Sometimes, I will jump on the children outside the fence, and the children will cry through the fence. It wants to take the children's food. This monkey is very clever. It knows that it can't grab food through the fence, but it can scare the children to cry. Adults will coax children and give the food in their hands to monkeys.

I once bought good food at the foot of the mountain and took it to Monkey Mountain. The monkeys stared at the food in my hand. I threw it to the monkeys and observed their movements and expressions. As soon as the monkeys saw the flying food, they rushed to grab it. The monkey who grabbed the food seemed very proud, took the food and left, far away; The monkey who didn't grab the food looked very depressed. He turned around and stared at the leftover food. Sometimes he is so anxious that it is difficult to start crossing the fence. I simply threw the rest of the food in and satisfied some monkeys. When the monkey came back, he saw that there was no food in my hand, so he didn't want to see me and turned to the tourists with food in their hands. Milk is the mother, and so are monkeys. Every time I see a monkey, I feel in a good mood. The Monkey Mountain in my hometown is deeply engraved in my heart.

Suddenly, one day, I heard that most of the monkeys in Monkey Mountain in my hometown ran away, which was terrible. As a result, a big monkey chase was triggered. The village committee organized many strong young men to chase monkeys around Monkey Mountain. When people drove them away, the monkeys ran away, quickly ran away and jogged slowly, but they couldn't catch up with them. Finally, the monkeys climbed a steep mountain called Dakou and came to the back of the mountain. People couldn't catch up with them at all. The little monkey was so ignorant that everyone who chased the monkey laughed. Another day, I heard from a friend that the monkey who didn't run in his hometown was hungry during the day and went behind the mountain and didn't come back at night. Another day, I heard from people in my hometown that all the monkeys in my hometown ran away and never came back at night. I feel a little sour when I hear this. Monkeys are the most similar animals to humans. Some of his behaviors and expressions are very human, and people have great feelings for them. It's sad and melancholy to hear that all the monkeys have run away.

Yesterday, I received a phone call from my old friend, Secretary Zhao, asking me to accompany him to visit the Monkey Mountain in my hometown, to find out who wrote the word "Monkey Mountain" on the Monkey Mountain, and to write another wonderful story in the street magazine for my hometown. I readily agreed, in high spirits. As long as I work for my hometown, I readily agreed. By the way, I witnessed the truth of the news that my friend said before that "the monkeys are gone". From the bottom of my heart, I hope this is not true. I don't believe it. At least there will be a few monkeys left behind, and dozens of monkeys can run away. So it won't be an empty nest?

I still went with the desire to see monkeys. The car drove directly to the majestic Longwan Reservoir Dam and climbed the stairs along the steps leading to Longwan Reservoir. When I reached the top of the mountain, I was suddenly enlightened, just like entering the world of huge landscape paintings. The water in Longwan Reservoir is the most I have seen in decades. The water in the reservoir is full, and so is my heart. I thought that if I was in such a good mood, I would hope to see monkeys.

Walking, as if something was wrong. It's quiet on the mountain. There is no feeling and sign of visiting Monkey Mountain in the past, and the monkeys nearby can't hear the "chirp". Pull off the dead branches and approach the monkey mountain. Where is the monkey? There is not even a monkey hair, and the fence has been cut bare by thieves. Only the word "Monkey Mountain" was left on Monkey Mountain. This kind of stone carving can't be stolen. Without monkeys, can that place called "Monkey Mountain" be called Monkey Mountain again? Just a name. Peer friends lamented: What a pity! What a pity! I feel sorry for the villagers from the bottom of my heart. I feel very sad, very distressed!

With remorse and condemnation for the person who hurt the monkey, I looked angrily at the inscription of the word "Monkey Mountain" and confirmed that it was written by Yu Shuting, a well-known calligrapher in the calligraphy circle of this city. It is recognized that these two words are excellent! On the other hand, Monkey Mountain can no longer be corrected by the inscription of this famous calligrapher, even his own name. Peer had to pick up the camera, raise his mobile phone and "click, click" from different angles. Finally not in vain, the in the mind a little comfort.

When Monkey Mountain came back, I was full of thoughts. I have a wish in my heart that the monkey mountain in my hometown will start again, as the mountain is named, and the monkey will come back. Or buy it later, hoping that the ape's song will ring in the hometown scenic spot.
