In the midst of wind and snow, Yang Lin led a group of animals through the mountains, a magnificent sight that immediately had viewers exclaiming in awe.
Meanwhile, on the other side, a group of staff from the Weinan Forestry Bureau were making preparations for reception at the location designated by Yang Lin.
"Director Yang is truly dedicated, coming all the way to the Qinling Mountains in this snowy weather."
"Indeed, otherwise, he wouldn't be an expert in the relevant field at such a young age."
"I wonder what kind of animals he's rescued in the Qinling Mountains this time."
"In this kind of weather, the animals in the mountains must be having a hard time too."
As the forestry bureau staff chatted idly, some media reporters who had received the news also arrived one after another.
These days, they had basically been following Yang Lin around every day, not needing to gather any other news.
Now that they heard Yang Lin had rescued animals in the Qinling Mountains again, they naturally scurried over.
A couple of photos would suffice for the day's content.
Just as everyone was waiting patiently, shadows suddenly appeared on a distant hillside.
Initially, due to the distance, they couldn't see clearly. But as they got closer, everyone's eyes widened.
"My goodness, what is that?"
"Golden monkeys?"
"So many golden monkeys!"
Shock, unprecedented shock.
Even though golden monkeys had occasionally wandered into human villages before, seeing the scale of the monkey troop before them still made them doubt their own eyes.
After all, golden monkeys were Grade I national protected animals. Seeing one was rare enough, let alone so many.
As the troop of golden monkeys got closer, Yang Lin and the Wang Wang team followed closely behind.
It was only then that they began to vaguely understand what had happened.
Realizing this, the few forestry bureau employees assigned to this task exchanged bewildered glances.
"Are these the 'few animals' the leader mentioned?"
"It's like they've brought down all the golden monkeys from the Qinling Mountains."
"It's just like how I used to herd ducks when I was a kid."
...
While the people below the mountain were in shock, the monkey troop, along with Yang Lin following behind them, finally arrived before them.
Before anyone could react, they were surrounded by the animals.
Under their astonished gazes, these little ones, covered in snowflakes, stood on their hind legs as if bowing to them.
Seeing this scene, the shocked expressions on everyone's faces melted away.
Immediately, the forestry bureau staff unloaded various foods from their vehicles – fruits, vegetables, and grains.
By the time Yang Lin approached them, the animals had already received their food and were eating.
At this moment, viewers in the livestream also noticed a heartwarming scene.
Among the many monkeys, the adult golden monkeys, after receiving their food, did not eat immediately. Instead, they chose to hand the food over to the older ones, or the younglings of the troop, followed by the lactating females.
And then, themselves.
Even though there was ample food, they still behaved this way.
Even more commendable was that, despite being extremely hungry, these golden monkeys waited patiently for the forestry bureau staff to distribute the food.
The food was within reach, yet they made no move to snatch it.
When such a scene was presented to the audience through Yang Lin's phone camera, the viewers were deeply moved.
"These are simply the most polite animals I've ever seen, oh my god, they're like little angels."
"Monkeys of Mount Emei: It's an act, they're all acting, this is a sci-fi movie."
"How can they be so polite and loving?"
"As expected of the species closest to humans."
"Get real, some people aren't even capable of that."
"They are national treasures, and elegance never goes out of style."
"I really want to feed them myself."
"Let them live at the foot of the mountain, I'll take care of them."
"I happen to be near Weinan, I'll drive over later and bring them some fruit on the way."
"Local of Weinan, I'm on my way, and I just ordered a truckload of corn."
"Weinuan locals, add me. I'll transfer some money to you, and you can buy some food for these animals for me."
"Wild boars before, golden monkeys now, Director Yang might as well shave his head."
...
As the situation unfolded live, the leaders of the Weinan Forestry Bureau soon arrived at the scene.
Upon seeing the numerous rare animals, they immediately coordinated various departments to set up a temporary protected area in this region.
In addition to building shelters for the animals to escape the wind and snow, ample food was also prepared.
Meanwhile, compassionate individuals from all over also sent food and supplies.
Before long, the scene became lively and bustling.
Humans and animals coexisted in an unusually harmonious manner at this moment.
However, amidst this harmony, the Wang Wang team's dogs and the three wild boar brothers had, at some point, snuck in and were also enjoying the donated food.
By the time Yang Lin noticed them, they had already eaten their fill.
"Hey, is this food for you?"
"Have you no shame? You're disgracing Xihong Zoo."
Saying this, Yang Lin shooed away these unpromising fellows.
Just then, Director Zhang of the Forestry Bureau approached him again.
"Director Yang, you've given me a huge surprise."
"Every winter in previous years, our mountain patrols would encounter golden monkeys that froze or starved in the mountains. The population size of golden monkeys never increased. This year, that won't happen."
Hearing Director Zhang's words, Yang Lin simply smiled faintly.
"This is what I should do. If I encounter them in the mountains, I can't just ignore them."
"According to my estimates, other animals should also descend from the mountains to spend the winter later."
"If handled well, I believe it will be very beneficial for the overall agricultural and forestry development of Weinan."
"Director Zhang, you should be prepared."
"There will be other animals coming down from the mountains?"
Hearing Yang Lin's words, Director Zhang was momentarily stunned.
Clearly, in his view, the current number of animals was already quite substantial.
Furthermore, not all animals were as intelligent as golden monkeys, knowing to seek help from their human relatives when in difficulty.
Just as he was pondering why Yang Lin was so certain, on the distant snow-covered mountains, figures began to rush towards their location.
The commotion was far greater than when the wild boar herd had descended.
As they approached, everyone realized that this time, it was a herd of takin that had come down the mountain.
