Leisurely Traveler with Check-in System

They not only make and use tools, such as bending wire into hooks to retrieve bugs from tree holes, using stones to crack open nuts, and even placing nuts by the roadside to be crushed by cars before eating.

They also possess complex logic and memory, being able to remember human faces, distinguish between good and bad intentions, and plan for the future, such as hiding food in advance, disguising the location of hidden food to confuse their peers, and even understand cause and effect.

If owls are the huskies among birds, then crows are the border collies.

Crows originally should not be on the menu of macaques, but macaques, lacking moral integrity, would raid crow nests, steal eggs, and attack fledglings.

In terms of intelligence, crows and monkeys are pretty much on par, but obviously, the monkeys underestimated the crows’ determination for revenge. For a long time afterward, the crows launched attacks on the monkeys.

However, the platform was not safe as it wasn’t a place difficult for monkeys to reach.

It was clear that the monkey that was attacked earlier was trying to continue raiding the fledgling crow perched on the platform.

At this moment, Li Younan noticed another monkey tentatively moving toward the platform.

Li Younan thought for a moment and also climbed swiftly toward the platform.

...

At this time, the cawing of the crows already carried a desolate tone.

Crows are monogamous animals with extremely stable pair bonds, mating for life.

The male and female crows build nests, hatch eggs, feed the young together, and also guard their territory together, with clear divisions of labor, showing a much more faithful attitude toward love compared to humans.

However, at this moment, only one crow was guarding the fledgling on the platform. Its feathers were exceedingly disheveled, clearly having gone through many fights. Pessimistically speaking, the partner crow had most likely died in the process of attacking monkeys for revenge.

This fledgling was also extremely weak, having fallen from such a height without much injury, but constantly being harassed by monkeys and lacking food, showed no hope for survival.

At this moment, a monkey climbed down from above, and the large crow immediately took off again to peck fiercely at the ascending monkey.

Just then, another monkey suddenly crept up the platform from the side, causing the large crow to hurriedly fly down due to panic, while the monkey agilely reached for the crow fledgling on the platform.

Then, the monkey was lifted away.

The monkey turned its head in bewilderment and saw a human face.

Li Younan tossed the monkey aside impatiently, saying, "Bullying the small, and dying early, haven’t you heard?"

The monkey snapped back to its senses, feeling both frightened and angry, its fur standing on end, baring its sharp fangs at Li Younan, making a racket.

Then, it received a flick on the forehead.

The monkey was stunned.

"Who are you trying to scare, huh? You think you’re the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?"

With that, the monkey lost its temper entirely and scampered away.

At this point, Li Younan was standing steadily on the platform, surrounded by cliffs, to be honest, it seemed quite thrilling.

The sudden arrival of Li Younan made the large crow equally uneasy, circling around its fledgling continuously, letting out warning cries, with an air of being ready to perish together with Li Younan should he dare to touch its young.

Seeing this, Li Younan felt amused and fished out a piece of biscuit from his pocket, crumbling it in front of the fledgling, saying, "You probably can’t understand what I’m saying, but you, little one, can’t fly, and you’re surrounded by monkeys. You can’t stay away for long. If I don’t intervene, this little one surely won’t survive."

After saying this, Li Younan calmly sat cross-legged in front of the fledgling, patiently watching the crow.

After circling for a while, the crow landed beside the fledgling, cautiously pecking at the biscuit in front of it, occasionally looking up at Li Younan.

Seeing that Li Younan didn’t react at all, the large crow became bolder, hopping closer to him, but its wings slightly spread, ready to fly away should Li Younan make any aggressive move.

Li Younan chuckled, fished out a piece of beef jerky from his pocket, and tossed it to the ground.

The large crow picked it up and ate it, seeming to regain some strength.

Li Younan then tried to move slowly toward the fledgling, surprised as the large crow hopped back two steps, making room for him. Clearly, it not only understood Li Younan’s goodwill but also quickly decided to respond to it.

Li Younan carefully picked up the fledgling, which was slightly smaller than a typical pigeon, its feathers not fully grown, covered in grey and black fluff, eyes open but beak still soft, unable to stand firmly and certainly unable to fly independently, reliant on its parent for feeding.

Li Younan gently placed the little crow into the pocket on his chest, and just then, the large crow suddenly took flight. He watched it curiously as it flew upward, heading toward its damaged nest on the crooked pine tree growing out from the cliff face.

After a while, the crow flew back, carrying something in its beak. Seeing what the crow was holding left Li Younan utterly shocked—it was a shiny silver object, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an external hard drive...
