Batu whistled, and the horse listened to his master, slowed down, and ran back again.

Zhou Sen breathed a sigh of relief, "It's really dangerous, I can't ride a horse, or I'm not as good as you nomads." ”

"I grew up on horseback, and we Mongolians are good at horseback riding. ”

Zhao Hong came over to help Zhou Sen dismount, Batu turned over and got on the horse, and another Mongolian guy rushed over next to him, and the two of them fought for a piece of sheepskin.

Zhao Hong said: "This is a game of the Mongols, the Mongols like warriors, whoever fights for it, the whole family feels honored." ”

Batu is very good at equestrianism, he runs very fast, he leans sideways, and a Mongolian boy next to him scrambles fiercely, runs out for a while, grabs the sheepskin, he happily waves to everyone.

Batu's eagle also swooped down and fell on Batu's hand, Batu rode back, turned over and dismounted, handed the horse to the guy next to him, supported the eagle with his left hand, raised his right hand, and gently stroked the eagle's back, the eagle was also very well-behaved, motionless, let the master touch.

Zhou Sen asked, "How many years have you raised this eagle?"

"I've raised it since I was a child, I've raised it for five years, the eagle is human, you are good to it, it knows it, it's very loyal, as soon as I stretched out my hand, it fell on my arm, very obedient, our young men here like to raise eagles, can help watch cattle and sheep. ”

"Let's go over and see the cattle and sheep!" Zhao Hong said.

"Well, our herdsmen here all live by grazing, and they all have feelings for cattle and sheep, mainly eating beef and mutton, and sheepskin is also useful, when I was born, the weather was very cold, and my mother wrapped me in a small jacket made of sheepskin. ”

"There are camels, you can't see camels in big cities, we still have camels in the grassland, it is a good friend of human beings, when traveling long distances, transporting things, you need a camel team, camels are more endurance than horses, they can cross the desert, and they can walk in arid areas for a long time, we can't do without camels. ”

Zhao Hong said: "Speaking of camels, the Silk Road, by land, is to rely on camel teams, our ancestors, with the good wish of exploring the world, trade with the world, and passing on friendship, to send Chinese silk, porcelain and other goods to all over the world, which is very remarkable, camels still have merit." ”

Batu took Zhao Hong and Zhou Sen to see the camel, the camel was very cute, Zhou Sen reached out to touch it, it was also very docile, the hump was towering, Batu asked Zhou Sen to feed the camel something.

"If you feed it, it will be affectionate to you, and if you are good to it, it will be good to you, whether it is a camel, a cow or a sheep, or a horse, or an eagle. ”

The Batu family took Zhou Sen to set up a fire and roast mutton to eat, the mutton was very fragrant, and Zhou Sen experienced the life of a herdsman in the prairie, which was very different from his experience of living in China's modern big city.

In the evening, the bonfire was lit in Bileg, the whole family sat together, Zhao Hong and Zhou Sen, the driver also sat next to him, Bilegh took out the horse-head qin, the horse-head qin is the best instrument suitable for playing Mongolian long tunes, it can accurately express the life of the Mongolian people, as soon as the horse-head qin sounds, it can depict the vast grassland, the howling wind, the sad mood, the galloping horse's hooves, the joyful pastoral song, etc.

The girls and boys rejoiced, came to sing and dance, this simple folk custom also infected Zhou Sen, and Zhao Hong pulled him to dance with the herdsmen.

Mongolian dance has a strong self-entertainment, distinctive national characteristics and a strong atmosphere of life, relaxed and happy, easy to learn, singing with the lyrics, full of contagion, Zhou Sen is also very happy, and the herdsmen laugh happily.

After the song and dance, there are also strong young men, two people wrestling in pairs, the young men are strong and very powerful, who falls to meet them, there are prizes.

Like the Russians, the Mongols also emphasize that men should be brave, they like warriors, they often use horse racing and wrestling as a form of entertainment, if the equestrian skills are better than theirs, and the wrestling is stronger than theirs, they admire you very much, the Mongols are unrestrained, straightforward, speak straightforwardly, and do not go around in circles.

After Zhou Sen stayed for five days, he said goodbye to Batu's family, and Bilege took the whole family to send Zhao Hong and Zhou Sen.

Watching Zhao Hong and Zhou Sen get into the off-road vehicle, the driver started slowly, and Bilegh waved his arms to see them off.

"Mr. Zhao, I'm waiting for your news, don't forget what I entrusted you!"

"Okay, I remember your son's schooling, if there is news, I will call you to inform you!"

The off-road vehicle drove far away, and Zhou Sen turned his head, and he could still see the Billegg family standing in place without moving.

Zhao Hong said: "The family is very eager to get out of the grassland, let their son Batu go to school in Inner Mongolia, and then go to the big city to find a job, and change the fate of their whole family, people are eager to live a good life." ”

Zhou Sen said: "I also feel that Batu is still young, and he still has hope. ”
