Chapter 224: An Unexpected Surprise
Lin Shan is patiently waiting for the good news, although the current Three Hippos are not very valued due to the market and other reasons, and the once huge Three Hippopotamus herd is becoming less and less. But with a snake like Uncle Bud, there should always be some good news, but although a few three hippos are linked, there are basically no foals, which is also something that makes Lin Shan and Yi Ke regretful.
However, although it is a pity, it is still worth waiting patiently.
Lin Shan was busy teaching Ike to ride a horse while waiting patiently; Although there is not much time left for Lin Shan, this can be regarded as a kind of fate. If you can find the right horse, this proves that Lin Shan really has a fate with that pony. If you still don't have a good choice when you want to leave and go home, then there may be some regrets, but it can't be said to be completely frustrated, this is God's will, and you can't force it.
Lin Shan felt that his current riding skills were still good, so he was very conservative in leading the horse and teaching Ike to ride a horse; In addition to being a little fool who is not very good at riding horses, it is also because Lin Shan is somewhat worried that his little wife will be in danger. So he has always been holding the reins of the horse, as for Ike, she is actually more yearning for riding a horse and running, but she prefers Lin Shan's thoughtfulness and care, so she basically leads the horse for a walk, but her face is always full of smiles.
"Tomorrow we will go back regardless of whether we can find the horse or not, and it will be enough to play for about three days." led the horse around the grassland, this is the convenience of Lin Shan and Uncle Bud's relatively good relationship. At least Lin Shan can take Uncle Bud's horse out and go out alone, and ordinary tourists don't have such treatment.
"It's not bad to take a walk around the grassland, seeing such a vast grassland is really open-minded." Ike nodded with a smile, although the feeling in the prairie is also very good, but the home will be more enjoyable, so it is good to take a walk here to change the mood, but in the end, I have to return to my own home, which is the most comfortable.
"I hope Uncle Bud will help us find a good pony." Lin Shan is also looking forward to it, and now he really hopes to find a satisfactory foal here. This will also make the trip infinitely close to perfect. "But even if you have a pony, you may not be able to ride it for a while, and I heard that ordinary horses can only be ridden until they are two years old, which is a waste of my good riding skills."
Lin Shan's joke also made Yi Ke laugh, Lin Shan's riding skills have made great progress in the past two days. It also made Iko feel proud; But to say that Lin Shan was able to become an equestrian master in two days. Actually, Iko didn't believe it either. But that's okay. It's just a fun game, no one expects Lin Shan to become a real equestrian master, just have fun.
Lin Shan and Ike talked and laughed. It's just that now they may not know that Uncle Ludaobad is waiting for them a little impatiently; In the prairie, mobile phones don't have much effect, because it's too big, and because the mobile phone signal here is really bad, so even many people here choose walkie-talkies. It's just that Lin Shan and Yi Ke didn't, and they didn't plan to run too far, just take a little turn in the grassland.
"You two are finally back, if you don't come back, I'm going to go out to find you!" Seeing Lin Shan and Ike walking back slowly holding hands, Uncle Bud joked with a smile, "Although there are not many wolves on the grassland now, there is still one point, if I hadn't heard the dog barking, I would really suspect that the steppe wolf had run over." ”
"I'm not afraid of wolves, I'm still very powerful!" Lin Shan also joked and said, Mongolian wrestling is still quite interesting, although it is Zhilu Dao's own movements are not very formal, but it is still good, after a little try, he can still fall some Mongolian strong men, and many people think that he can try to throw bulls; It's just that Lin Shan is not interested in Mongolian-style cattle wrestling, and he is also worried that wrestling with such a few hundred catties of cattle is self-inflicted.
"I really can't find the three hippos under the age of one and a half for a while, but I got the news here that there is a pony less than one and a half years old, and I heard that it is a black pony that is in very good health. If you think you can take you over, I'll take you to see it, and I'll help you check it. "Uncle Bud gave very good news, for Lin Shan and Ike, a little more than a year old pony is also very good, which is completely able to meet their requirements.
Lin Shan and Yi Ke set off with Uncle Bud with great interest, although now many Inner Mongolia areas, especially for herdsmen, horses and lele carts are their means of transportation, but some cars are not excluded. This also makes Lin Shan and Yi Ke feel very good, and it is more than an hour's drive by car at most, which is much better than riding a horse.
This should be a real herdsman, and there is no shortage of yurts and lele carts; Add to that a flock of sheep and a barking sheepdog, and this is not a tourist spot, but a traditional herder. Watching Uncle Bud communicate with a Mongolian man who is five big and three thick, he really doesn't understand the Mongolian language Lin Shan, but with Uncle Bud here, Lin Shan really doesn't need to worry about anything, and now he is more concerned about the foal.?
It can be seen that the economic conditions of this herdsman are very ordinary, not to mention the Mongolian robe that looks a little dirty, but also because the layout in the yurt is relatively shabby; This weather-faced old herdsman was communicating with Lin Shan in extremely unskilled Mandarin, and he had three horses, all of which were used by his own herding horses. Now he does have a foal to sell, and the price is actually negotiable, because he also thinks that the Three Hippos are not the best herding horses here.
Although the price is negotiable, there is also a foal that can be sold; But this does not mean that this horse meets Lin Shan's requirements, and it is still important to go and see this horse now.
I have to say that many places in China do not attach much importance to horses. Even in some horse farms, the horses look dirty and inadequate. And in such a savannah, for these herders, they really don't care much about the appearance of these horses, these horses look a little dirty, their manes have some dirt, knots and so on, it doesn't matter, and even a little thinner is normal, because all they need is for these horses to be able to run in the grassland.
The old herdsman took Lin Shan and them to see the foal, which was a little more than a year old; The usual care should not be very good, this is a dark horse. But even black hair. But the dirt can still be seen clearly. Although it is more than a year old, this pony can at most reach Lin Shan's chest, and even the ribs of this pony can be seen.
It's a dirty, skinny, little foal, and it feels really unspirited. It's really disappointing. But Lin Shan and Ike felt some disappointment. They also felt a little excited; This pony is sure to look a little shabby. But this pony's big eyes are very exciting.
Big, somewhat wet eyes, looking at a few strange people, although there was some curiosity. It's also a little timid, this is a little guy with very divine eyes, and it seems that he can read some of its world through his eyes. It's funny, but it's also very distressing.
Lin Shan was really a little excited, and Ike also thought that this pony was still very cute and very cute; Although the pony is not energetic now, it is impossible to see the appearance of the horse. It's just that to be honest, none of this matters, you can give a pony a bath, you can make it cleaner and stronger, these can be cultivated slowly; And being smart and energetic enough, this is innate, and many times it really can't be cultivated.
Lin Shan and Ike were also discussing in a whisper, this pony was really good, although it looked a little shabby now, but they felt that they could slowly dress up the pony. What they are most satisfied with is the spirit of this pony, and they value this pony's intelligence.
"We think it's a good horse, and we want to buy it." Since they have taken a fancy to it, Lin Shan and Yi Ke don't want to miss it, the current Three Hippos themselves are relatively few, and even if this pony is slightly insufficient, the most important essence is still very good.
"It looks a little smaller, but it can still grow, but now it's just not good enough to take care of it, and it's still very good to take good care of it if you bring it back." Uncle Bard was explaining to Lin Shan how to identify horses, such as horses' hooves, horses' heads, and other body structures. Lin Shan and Yi Ke are also very happy, this pony is also very good in the eyes of such an old herdsman, at least there is still a lot of room for development, which of course makes the two of them even more happy.
Lin Shan and Yi Ke were happily discussing, and the price was actually very good now; The price of the current Three Hippos is not very expensive, and this pony looks good, but it is definitely not an absolute steed. The price of two thousand yuan made Lin Shan take down this pony, and it was also a happy price.
Now that the price has been negotiated, all that needs to be done now is to prepare to transport the horse back and the like; But just when Lin Shan and Uncle Bud turned a little under the leadership of the old herdsman, and at this time Lin Shan was suddenly stunned, he felt that it was very desirable to buy a satisfactory pony, and the unexpected harvest was the most surprising.
It was a cow that looked more like a cow, although it was a little smaller, and even about a meter tall, but the big milk bag proved that it was a real cow; This is definitely a small-looking cow, but this is definitely a mature cow, this is the Jersey cow that Lin Shan has been looking for for a long time! Not only is this cow supposed to be already producing milk, but also a small yellow calf about the size of an average adult German Shepherd is next to this cow!
Lin Shan was really excited, which really made him happy; Jersey cattle are really rare, especially the unexpected surprise that I have been looking for for a long time to find, which is even more exciting. (To be continued......)
