When the onlookers saw the monkey holding the toy keyboard, they thought that it was the same as the first monkey holding the toy erhu and playing "Moon Over a Fountain". It was nothing more than randomly tapping on the keyboard and treating it as typing. They immediately lost interest and felt that it was more exciting to watch the monkey do somersaults. They all requested for the monkey to perform somersaults or climb the pole.
The man laughed. "Young and old, do you think I'm fooling you by asking the youngest to be the finale? Let me tell you, it really knows how to type. If you don't believe me, you can see it carefully later! "
With that, the woman took out a tablet computer from the car and started the word processing app. The couple used this tablet computer every night to watch movies on other people's Wi-Fi.
Someone said disdainfully, "What typing? It's not just blindly gesturing. It's actually you who is typing! "
"Hey! Of course not! The youngest, it's up to you. Don't lose face for your brothers! Otherwise, I'll beat you up! "The man pointed at the new monkey and threatened.
"Squeak."
The new monkey was not used to having an iron chain around its neck. It felt that it couldn't even breathe smoothly. It always held the toy keyboard in one hand and pulled the chain with the other. But how could its strength be compared to that of a human? No matter how much it resisted, it was still forcibly pulled to the center of the field by the man.
When they picked up the monkey, the couple noticed that it was holding the toy keyboard as if it was a treasure. No matter where it went, it would not put it down. From time to time, it would rub the keycaps and gently tap on the keycaps with its fingers, as if it could get happiness from tapping on the keyboard.
His wife, who had gone to high school, inadvertently observed that the letters it was typing did not seem to be typed randomly, but faintly followed the rules of Chinese Pinyin. Although it was only holding a toy keyboard, it had a Bluetooth function and could be connected to the tablet computer.
After she tried to connect the keyboard to the tablet, she switched the input method to Pinyin. Then, she was surprised to find that among the meaningless gibberish that it typed, there would occasionally be a sentence or half a sentence with a specific meaning.
They studied it for half the night and determined that it was not a coincidence. As long as it typed for long enough, such as more than ten minutes, there would definitely be a meaningful sentence or half a sentence. Sometimes, even less than ten minutes, there would be meaningful words.
The couple forcefully snatched the keyboard from the new monkey's hand and brought the other monkeys to test it. The other monkeys did not know how to use the keyboard at all. They could only hit it stupidly or bite it in their mouths.
The two of them felt that this monkey might not be an ordinary monkey. Perhaps it had escaped from some laboratory.
The woman was worried that it might have some germs on its body, so she suggested that they chase it away. If the lab found out that they had detained the monkey without permission, they might be sued.
The man, on the other hand, thought that it was a rare commodity. He picked up the monkey with his own ability, so why couldn't he keep it? He planned to hold it and perform with it. Even if the laboratory came looking for it, they would have to pay to redeem it.
Because they didn't know its background, they were still polite to the new monkey. Other than strictly preventing it from escaping, they didn't really whip it. The food they gave it was also better than the other four monkeys.
On the other hand, the other four monkeys didn't like the newcomer. Why did it receive preferential treatment and eat better food than us? Therefore, when the couple wasn't paying attention, the other four monkeys would always find opportunities to bully the newcomer. They would push it, yell at it, and snatch food from its hands.
The new monkey didn't fight with them. It just held the toy keyboard and hid as far as the length of the chain allowed.
Today was the first time the couple would hold it for a formal performance. The man hoped to rely on it to amaze the world.
"Come, the youngest, sit down and type for everyone." The man brought out a small table and a small stool and motioned for the new monkey to sit on the stool.
Being stared at by hundreds of scorching eyes, the new monkey was frightened. With the heavy chain around its neck, it almost couldn't walk. It sat on the small stool in fear and kept glancing at the crowd.
"Come on, don't look around. Look here, look here."
The man slammed the table and made it look at the tablet computer. The cursor flashed at the beginning of the open blank document.
He gestured to the keyboard and signaled it to start typing.
The crowd was basically skeptical. Instead of watching the monkey type, it was more like they were rubbing their hands and planning to expose Liu Qian's magic show at the Spring Festival Gala.
"Type! Do you hear me? "
The man saw that the new monkey's eyes always wanted to glance at the audience's face and raised the short whip. Although it hadn't been whipped, it had seen the miserable situation of other monkeys being whipped. Killing the monkey to show the monkey was better than killing the chicken to show the monkey.
"Eeek!"
The new monkey was so scared that it quickly put the keyboard on the table, stretched one paw flat above the keyboard, and made a posture of preparing to type. It was actually quite decent, at least much better than the monkey who played the erhu.
Pa!
Pa pa!
The new monkey's finger fell on the keycap, and the corresponding text appeared in the tablet computer's document.
"Oh, it's really typing?"
"Is there someone else typing? Is this monkey just pretending? "
The onlookers saw it fresh and had different opinions.
The busybodies nearby stretched their necks to observe carefully and found that the monkey was not pretending. Whichever letter its finger fell on, the corresponding word or word would appear in the document. For example, when it pressed W, the input method would show "I". When it pressed a string of letters, the tablet's input method would show the corresponding prompt.
If it was pretending, and someone else was hiding behind the scenes and typing through another Bluetooth keyboard, it was impossible to achieve complete synchronization.
Others also came over to take a look and found that it was true. This monkey was indeed typing. Although the words formed by the typed words did not make any sense, it was undeniable that it was typing.
"Tsk, how did the brother train the monkey? Awesome! "
"F * ck! This monkey is quite good at typing, but the posture is awkward … "
"Wechat payment: five yuan."
"Wechat payment: ten yuan."
…
Ten minutes had passed. Although some people gave them money, it was obviously not enough to meet the expectations of the couple.
During the experiment last night, ten minutes was enough to type a meaningful sentence, but there was no sign of it today.
As for the reason... they found that the new monkey had been pulling the iron chain with one hand and typing with only one hand. During the experiment last night, they did not put a chain on it — this would obviously seriously affect the efficiency of typing.
The two looked at each other and understood each other. They both agreed to take off the iron chain first. Anyway, there were two big dogs guarding it, and there were three layers of people around. It was impossible for it to run away.
