It took about an hour to drive up and down, passing deserts, rivers and grasslands along the way. And it is mostly desert, which makes Ye Kai a little puzzled.

In his impression, shouldn't Mongolia be all steppes?

Mongolia can have nothing, no roads, you can drive directly on the grassland, but you can't do without the grassland, otherwise why is this called the Inner Mongolia grassland?

Ye Kai asked the two eldest brothers in front of him and said, "Are there a lot of deserts here in Inner Mongolia?"

The two people in front of them were nodding, and one of them said: "There is any terrain here, go to the northeast, there will be more grasslands on the Hulunbuir side, and there is a ...... over there."

Seeing that he was pondering, Ye Kai asked tentatively, "Daxinganling?"

"Uh...... That's right, it's called Daxinganling. ”

Ye Kai nodded to show that he understood, it turned out that Inner Mongolia was not all grassland. He had read a lot of books, but the books he read did not include the topography of Mongolia.

No wonder many people go to Hulunbuir to see the prairie.

But Ye Kai thinks that the grassland of Ordos is very beautiful, after all, no matter how big the Hulunbuir grassland is, you can't see the end at a glance, and it's the same here.

So it should make no difference for a lot of people.

After about an hour and a half, the greenery was more and more, and the rest of the hour was spent driving on the steppe, passing through a small Mongolian town, and then entering the depths of the steppe from the back of the town.

Well...... You're not going to sell me, are you?

The two-hour drive was already a long way away, even if Ye Kai could understand their expressions and even feel their kindness to him, he would inevitably start to think about it.

"It's here. The eldest brother sitting in the passenger seat said, he glanced back at Ye Kai and asked, "Okay? The road here is not like your mainland, it is very poor." ”

The car began to slow down and stopped.

This is a big grassland, after all, the car drove on this grassland for half an hour. Compared to this grassland, the grassland in Battle's eldest brother's house can really only be regarded as a grassland.

There are a lot of cars parked in this place at the moment, and when you get out of the car, you can see a huge playground in front of you.

Ye Kai didn't know what it should be called, horse farm, or stadium?

All in all, there was a playground-like place ahead, a huge recess, larger than a football field, with a guardrail at the very edge, and a yellow sand field beneath the guardrail.

It should be better to shout as a racetrack, he is more than the playground.

Since it is a racecourse, the runway should be called a horse track, which is about ten meters wide and oval-shaped. The interior of the horse road is grassland, which is no different from the outside world.

There was a place in the distance where there was no guardrail, and the car could rush down the slope and park in the playground in the middle.

There are still a lot of people here, and there are a lot of Mongolians in costume.

In fact, most Mongolians now wear modern clothes, especially young people, who generally do not wear Mongolian robes if it is not for some special festivals, just like few people in Tibetan areas wear Tibetan robes now.

On the racetrack were Mongolians on horseback, who did not let the horses run, and walked on the road leisurely.

There are many onlookers outside the railing, tourists from other places, and many locals who come here to watch the excitement. Horse racing should be one of the more lively activities here.

"There are so few people. The eldest brother who drove looked at the crowd and said.

Is this still less? Ye Kai's eyes widened.

At this time, another man said, "It's time to eat, let's go back to town, I'll call the eldest brother, he should be there soon." ”

Ye Kai asked, "Didn't Big Brother Battle come here on horseback? ”

"Haha, do you think he took the same road we came from?" he pointed into the distance and said, "There is a river over there, we need to go around it, but the eldest brother can cross it directly on horseback, it will be an hour faster." ”

I see.

So I got back in the car and went back to town to find a restaurant.

Thinking that it might take a long time for the live broadcast, Ye Kai wrote on Weibo: "I arrived at the event location, but the event hasn't started yet, we decided to go to dinner first, don't worry, let's go eat first." ”

It's not far from the town, and it's not long to get there.

You can sometimes see yurts in the grasslands, but not in this town. As long as a city is on scale, it must be a reinforced concrete building.

In the second decade of the 21st century, there are few places that have truly remained primitive.

Perhaps because of this event, the town was crowded, and it took a long time to find a place in the hotel. After all, it's time for dinner, and Ye Kai and they are a little late.

They informed Big Brother Battle and began to order, and it was twenty minutes before Battle arrived, with a balding man in his forties and glasses.

Battle has now also changed into a blue Mongolian robe with a hat.

It's cold here, so you won't feel hot when you wear it this way.

The hotel was not big, and when a few people saw Battle coming in, they immediately greeted them and called them here to sit down. Battle introduces several people to the friends he brought in.

"This is Boss Zhou, a friend of mine, who happened to meet outside. ”

Is it Han?

Ye Kai looked at Boss Zhou after hearing the name and nodded to each other.

Dine.

Meat is definitely indispensable, and the basin is also large, almost comparable to a basin.

I was full of wine and food, and drank a cup of tea after the meal.

Ye Kai didn't pay the bill this time, and he was still settled by Battle.

Boss Zhou said goodbye to everyone after eating, and the others had to return to the competition venue.

Unlike when I came, there are many people who drive along the grassland with me.

The vehicles drove on the left and right, with riders on horseback in the middle. Although there are no roads or lines, the vehicles follow one after the other in an unusually neat manner.

It was reparked in the same place as before, which should be the usual parking lot.

There was still no car driving down the field below, but some people were already standing inside, and Ye Kai and his party were also walking inside.

It turns out that the area inside is also a stand.

It is possible to go inside and watch the horses, or you can watch the race from outside the guardrail, which is allowed.

Ye Kaichu estimated that there were about 2,000 people watching the game here, and the grassland outside was currently full of tourists taking group photos.

Is this a well-known event? Why haven't I heard of it?

And there were no tickets, and I didn't see any organizers and managers, the most like the managers was a man wearing a Mongolian robe standing on the racetrack.

He has a whistle in his mouth, which should be a referee or something.

Slowly, the surroundings quieted down.

Everyone began to sit cross-legged on the ground and wait to watch the game, and Ye Kai also learned to sit down in style.

The person with the whistle that Ye Kai saw before said in a very loud voice at this time: "Today is the day of the traditional horse racing competition in the Langqigrad area......

At this time, Ye Kai understood.

It turned out to be a horse race of a regional nature.
