Most of Shandan's memories of the primeval grassland were heard from his father when he was a child.

In her memory, the grass of the grassland is no longer very dense, and it is endless green from a distance. But there is absolutely no feeling of "seeing cattle and sheep in the wind and grass".

However, in Shandan's father's description, the prairie is indeed the poet's pen.

When Tie Dan'er was young, the grass on the grassland was taller than his stature, and every time he went out, he had to carry a self-defense device in his hand, because there were packs of wolves hiding in the high grass.

Once, Tie Dan'er went to look for his own cow but couldn't find it, and a few days later, he only found the remains of the cow - the cow had been eaten by wolves, and he was beaten by his father.

Tie Dan once saw a pack of wolves eat a donkey.

There were five or six wolves in a pack, and they first circled around the donkey, and slowly approached, and the donkey panicked, rushing left and right, but could not break out of the encirclement of the wolves.

After some time, when the donkey was exhausted, one wolf pounced on it and began to bite the donkey's anus, one wolf choked the donkey's throat, and the other wolves assisted.

The donkey was soon pounced, and the wolves began to eat, first the first wolf ate, and the other members waited obediently beside them, and the first wolf could only eat when the other wolves were full, and when the other wolves were not full, the first wolf gave an order: the wolves dragged the rest away and hid them.

Tie Dan'er didn't dare to go out in the evening when he was a child, and the wolf howls outside came and went, sounding very panicked.

I definitely don't dare to walk at night, and the deep green eyes of the wolf yin follow people like ghost fire.

At that time, a woman in the village was working in the field, and she put the child in the field, and after a while, when she looked back, the child had been taken away by a wolf.

Iron Danda has been shepherding sheep since he was a teenager, when he brought an excellent Russian Shepherd with him.

The Russian Shepherd also had black fur all over his body, and he also called it Black Tiger.

The black tiger was also born for thirty-nine days, and the twelve brothers and sisters with it were all left outside to freeze, and after a few days, the others were all frozen to death, and in the end, only the black tiger was left.

Therefore, Tie Dan'er said that the black tiger is the spirit of the dog and can resist the cold.

It also lay on the roof at night for three or nine days. At night, the safety of the whole village is protected by the black tiger, and if there is any movement, the black tiger barks first, followed by the dogs of the whole village, and the wolves generally dare not approach.

Tie Dan'er said that a good dog can keep the party safe, and his words are full of pride.

The black tiger grew as big as a calf, and its cry was quite loud, and the iron egg was like striking a grand gong.

It was this shepherd dog that accompanied Tie Dan'er's lonely childhood and ensured his safety.

It is said that the black tiger and the wolves once had a life-and-death struggle.

It was just over a year old when the black tiger was surrounded by wolves one day, and the black tiger fought hard and started a contest of wisdom and strength with the wolves.

The black tiger first glared angrily, let out a majestic roar from its mouth, and after identifying the target, it quickly attacked, and it attacked the head wolf.

Wolves have always been a group of people, and that day was no exception, when the black tiger pounced on the head wolf, the wolves began to quickly approach the black tiger step by step.

In the fight with the head wolf, when the other wolves are about to pounce, the black tiger will first evacuate, and then find an opportunity to attack.

Such a battle lasted for almost a day, and the whole mountain trembled in this battle, and the wolf howls one after another, and a dozen wolves joined the battle in front and behind.

The black tiger only targeted the head wolf, and finally bit off the head wolf's neck and ended in victory, and the black tiger lost half of its ear and recuperated for a long time.

The head wolf died in Huangquan. The wolves collapsed and fled.

Later, as soon as the wolves heard the sound of the black tiger, they would retreat en masse, so the flock with the size of the iron egg never had a problem again.

At that time, there were still herds of antelopes and yellow sheep on the grassland, and at that time, people were relatively poor, and they were reluctant to kill their sheep during the New Year's Festival, so they went out to hunt.

At the end of the year, every family has game and meat for the New Year.

The peeled skin can also be used to make clothes, so everyone has a "fur coat".

At that time, there were special hunters, but the hunters at that time did not hunt every day, but hunted in different seasons, and there were unwritten rules about what time to hunt and what prey: do not hunt when the animal is pregnant, do not hunt when the animal gives birth, and how much prey a hunter shoots every year, everyone has a shot in their hearts.

During the Chinese New Year, the hunters also pay tribute to the mountain god, one to atone for their sins, and the other hopes that the mountain god will bless the prey in the coming year.

It is said that after a certain number of years of hunting, a hunter must quit hunting, and a solemn ceremony is held to announce that he will never hunt again, and that he will hand over his shotgun to the next generation of hunters.

If there is a hunter who is not greedy enough, his own mountain god will punish him, either he will not be able to shoot the prey, or the gun will go off and cause a tragedy, and he will lose his eyes and lose his arms and legs.

Therefore, all hunters are in awe of the mountain gods.

Tie Dan'er said that there was once a hunter who was punished by the mountain god: once he went hunting, in winter, it snowed white, and he saw a blood-red fox, charged, aimed, and fired, and the fox was gone.

Turning his head, he saw the same fox on another hill, standing like a man, and he was frightened and hurried to collect the hunt.

A few days later, when he went hunting again, he found the fox again, and he took aim again, and this time, the gun went off and cost him his life.

The eldest father of Tie Dan'er said that the fox was a messenger sent by the old man's legendary mountain god to warn the hunters, and since then, few people have seen the red fox.

Everyone who saw it would put down their shotguns and bow down.

When Tie Dan'er was a child, there was an old hunter in the village, carrying a shotgun, and the head of the gun was always hung with hares, mountain rats, pheasants or something.

Once, the old hunter hunted an owl, which was terrible. The prairie people do not eat owls, they hate this kind of bird, and treat it as an unlucky bird like a crow, because its cry is particularly ugly, and it is said that if someone in the family is going to die, it must know first, and it will cry early in the morning.

At that time, there was no grassland as my father had spoken, and there was very little prey.

Within a few years, the old hunter died, and there were no more hunters.

However, Tie Dan'er still has a precious red fox fur hat in his house, Tie Dan'er's grandfather's generation was wealthy, and at that time, the hat made of fox fur was a noble mark, especially the rare red fox skin.

Grandfather Tie Dan'er has always treasured it, and he takes it out and wears it every heavy festival.

After the death of his grandfather, Tie Dan Erda kept it, but never wore it.
