After having the yaks sent by Ma Suifeng and others, Cai Hongming picked out a few large and sturdy yaks for Ji Dong and others to bathe and feed.

Shi Wan'er's grandfather's sheep competition is not a one-person business, you have to find someone to cooperate, otherwise you won't know if you will be overshadowed. So he called Ji Dong and others, in order to make them familiar with the yak he was going to ride faster, feeding and bathing was undoubtedly the fastest choice.

A few days later, the bachelor and Liu Chong, who had been treated similarly, returned from the county.

The fat man Liu Chong fell in love with the big yak that was still recuperating at a glance, and felt that this big guy was stupid, so he named it "Benben", and planned to ride it to participate in the sheep competition. He played this abacus well, but unfortunately it was useless, because the stupid injury could not be cured in a moment and a half, and it would take a long time to recuperate, and it was estimated that it would not be manned until next year.

Even Dacheng, the original owner of Benben, saw that the foot injury of the big yak could really be cured, and he was also very comforted, and after staying in the Western Capital Shengjing for a few days, he had to go back.

Cai Hongming saw that he was a skilled yak raiser, so he asked him to stay and help take care of the yaks.

Even Dacheng's wife has passed, and a son and a daughter have also started a family, and now they have nothing to worry about. Hearing his invitation, I thought about it and stayed. Here, the food and lodging are taken care of, and there are old people such as the third master, the fifth master, and the eighth prince to accompany and chat, which is much better than at home, and it is strange that he is unwilling.

In the Western Capital Shengjing, the leg injury of the scholar has not healed, Liu Chong is too fat, and the big yak that can make him ride is not yet healed, so only Ji Dong, Murong Hua, Li Chun, Pan Haimin, Chen Dashan and other five people can go to the West Xinjiang to participate in Shi Wan'er's grandfather's Diao Yang Competition. The number of people participating in the Diao Yang Competition should be at least a dozen, and a total of six of them plus Cai Hongming is obviously not enough. But there should be someone over there. But after all, it's not your own person, who knows if you will slack off and drag your feet, so everything depends on yourself.

Therefore, for the next period of time, the six of them rode the yak that was taken care of by Cai Hongming every day.

Lian Dacheng walked around with nothing to do, and by chance, he saw them practicing Diao Yang outside, and scolded them for being really nonsense, and criticized their practice as nothing.

Cai Hongming and the others looked at each other when they heard this, and they didn't know why. It's not all like that. Anyway, if you grab it, you win.

"Do you really think that Diao Yang is just to grab it? My old man has also participated in countless sheep tricks. I've never heard of just snatching a sheep in your hands, especially when there are only a few of you who want to grab a sheep from others? Sun Tzu Youyun: 'Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles'. You don't even know the strength of your opponents. Just want to win. It's just a dream. ”

Hey, this old man also knows Sun Tzu's Art of War?

As if sensing their thoughts, Lian Dacheng said dissatisfiedly: "What." I don't know my grandson, but I also graduated from elementary school, if it weren't for my poor family background, I would have been able to go to college. ”

You didn't know there was a university at the time?

Of course, Cai Hongming and others only dared to think about these words in their hearts.

"Diao Yang, in fact, is a collision of strength and wisdom, not only with stupid force, but also with your brains. If a few of you practice, you must practice as a whole, like a sharp knife, rushing straight into the opponent's camp and snatching the lamb. When one person catches the sheep, the others immediately rush over to protect him and rush to the finish line together. In the meantime, it is necessary to prevent those people from running to the finish line and assembling to block the way."

Jiang is worthy of being old and spicy, even Dacheng participated in countless sheep tricks when he was young, and now he tells them his experience one by one, so that Cai Hongming and others can suddenly open up.

Next, Cai Hongming asked him to come over for guidance. With the help of the elderly, they have a deep understanding of both riding skills and events.

After almost half a month, it was finally time to participate in the sheep competition held by Shi Wan'er's grandfather to celebrate the grape harvest.

His grandfather was of Tajik ethnicity, and most of the Tajiks lived in Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County, and at the foot of the Karakoram Mountains, Shache, Zepu, Baicheng, Pi. The high area of the mountain and other counties. Shi Wan'er's grandfather lived in a mountain village on the edge of Shache County. To get there, you can take the train, but you have to change twice along the way, and you need to take more than two days.

The time was too long, and people and yaks couldn't go together, and if there was an accident on the way, there was no way to handle it immediately, so Cai Hongming gave up.

It's okay to drive by yourself, but it's more than 2,000 kilometers to that side, and there is no high speed in most of the places along the way, and it takes at least three or four days to get there, which is too slow and very tiring, so he doesn't like it. In the end, I had to take a plane to Kashgar and then change trains. However, Wuwei did not have a plane to Kashgar, so he could only fly to Lanzhou first and then transfer to another plane, which was very troublesome. In the end, Cai Hongming simply chartered a plane to save trouble. Fortunately, he still has some money, otherwise tens of thousands of yuan will float away in a blink of an eye.

There are a lot of procedures for live livestock to be transported by airplane, and quarantine certificates at or above the county level are required, etc., fortunately, Cai Hongming's father-in-law is still in the city, otherwise he would have to die. Even so, it kept him busy for three whole days.

After finishing the work, I prepared a little food for the yaks, so as not to adapt to the water and soil. Cai Hongming himself secretly stuffed some emergency plasters, medicines, food, daily necessities and other things into the cave blessed land in Yuding, and then got on the plane and headed for the sand car.

Shache is a place with a long history. It was originally one of the countries under the jurisdiction of the Western Domain of the Han Dynasty, that is, the capital of Shache Kingdom.

It was once the southern key point of the ancient "Silk Road" and was located on the western edge of the Tarim Basin in the Western Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. On the edge is the majestic Kunlun, the land of death Lop Nur, and the famous Taklamakan Desert.

In the Northern Wei Dynasty, the sand car was also known as the Qusha Kingdom. The Sui, Tang and Song dynasties were incorporated into Khotan (present-day Hotan). Yuan called the crow to see. It is known as Yarkand. Qing Shache Zhili Prefecture, later promoted to the Mansion, with jurisdiction over Puli Hall, Bachu Prefecture, Yecheng and Pi. Two counties in the mountains, the sand car city is set up in the governance office. The Qing Dynasty successively built two new and old cities, the old city is called Yaerqiang, commonly known as Huicheng, and the new city is called Shache, commonly known as Seoul.

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the people. The state was withdrawn from the government and set up a county, and Shache County was established, which was still under the jurisdiction of Kashgar Dao.

People. In the 17th year of the country (1928), Shache was divided into two counties, Shache and Yarkand. People. In the 31st year of the Republic of China (1942), the Xijiang Provincial Government decided to merge the two counties and set up the 10th District Chief Executive's Office in Shache, which was later changed to the Shashache Administrative Inspector's Office, with jurisdiction over 4 counties of Shache, Zepu, Yecheng and Maigaiti. Until the peaceful liberation of Western Xinjiang on September 25, 1949, the sand car was always the location of the special office. On April 21, 1956, the Yache Special Administration was abolished, and Yarkand County was subordinated to the Kashgar Prefecture.

Nowadays, the sand cart is the home of the famous almonds (almonds) at the top of the roof, and tourists from all over the world come here to enjoy the flowers when they bloom.

At that time, the mountains and fields are full of almond flowers, and Tajik and Uyghur girls dress up and dance among the flowers, like butterflies, which is beautiful and unforgettable.

PS: I know that I've been cheating a lot lately, but at the end of the year, I can't help it, I'll make up for it slowly. (To be continued......)
