Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Wind Blows the Grass and Sees the Cattle and Sheep 3
"The white clouds are floating in the blue sky, and the horses are running under the white clouds..."
There are many descriptions of grasslands by literati and writers, and Yan Muqing feels that at this time, this word is the most appropriate.
"This is not a real grassland," the driver introduced in an authentic Inner Mongolian accent.
"When we reach our destination, that's the real prairie, don't you want to leave then."
With that, Scarlett Hao chatted with him again.
[I'm almost in the hinterland of the grassland, are you busy? Yan Muqing missed the person in his heart, but he didn't join their conversation, and couldn't wait to share his feelings with Lu Anming at this time.
[It's so beautiful here, the sky is very blue, the air is very fresh, and the eyes are full of sheep and cows...]
After a large paragraph of text was sent, he did not get a timely reply from Lu Anming, look at the time, it's almost time to get off work, and the mood is slightly lost.
She thought, there is a beautiful scenery in front of her, and it can be considered complete to watch it with her beloved! took out her mobile phone, and the most beautiful and natural scenery remained in her lens. Click and send, the recipient is still Lu Anming.
Hey, he sighed lightly, put away his thoughts, and joined in the chat between Hao Scarlett.
"Muren, let's listen to a song" Muren is the name of the young driver, Mongolian, Muren, shepherd...
"Okay," said Muren, turning on the car stereo.
A moment later, the melodious singing voice came. Mongolian song, the singer's voice is strong, the shocking long tune is tactful and long, just singing, Yan Muqing closed his eyes, a picture of the grassland loomed in his mind, and he was more and more looking forward to the depths of the grassland that he was about to arrive.
I don't know when I fell asleep. When I woke up, the green hills outside the car window were gone, they were all endless grasslands, scattered with a few lonely yurts, not far away, the sheep were about to cross the road, the driver gently stepped on the brakes, and stopped in front of the sheep.
The leader walked forward with a steady pace, and there were always a few disobedient sheep in the flock, looking around with wide eyes, and one of them, chewing grass in his mouth, walked to the front of the car, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, licked the lid of the machine with his tongue, hehe, licked a mouthful of soil. Shaking his head, he snorted, it was not as delicious as he imagined, and he was disappointed and followed the sheep.
In the distance, a few lively little lambs scattered their joys and moved away from the group. The loyal and reliable guardian, the shepherd dog, stuck out his tongue and walked up with arrows, and when he came to the little lamb, he jumped left and right, and barked "Wangwang", as if to say, return quickly. A few little lambs were annoyed, and when they heard the "bleating" of the mother sheep, they stopped their hooves, looked at the source of the sound, and then ran back with joy.
At the end of the team were a few cattle mixed into the flock, chewing something in their mouths, and from time to time they "mooed" twice, as if urging the sheep to go quickly. The last two sheepdogs, one moment running east and one moment west, seem to be in formation.
It took seven or eight minutes for the sheep to pass completely, and the hoof prints and dung left on the ground were their masterpieces.
"Sister Qing, why aren't there shepherds who are herding?" Hao Scarlett asked curiously
"Hehe, isn't the shepherd sitting next to you?" Yan Muqing quipped
It made the three of them laugh.
The number of grazing in pure pastoral areas is very large, not only sheep but also cattle, even if they drive to graze, they can't take care of it, and the current labor cost is too high, so sheepdogs are used. An excellent shepherd dog, it is no exaggeration to say that it can run 90 kilometers a day, and eight shepherd dogs can herd thousands of sheep, drive the sheep to the pasture in the morning, and then drive back in the evening. In case of emergencies, it can also protect the sheep well, save labor, and do better than humans. The shepherd dog protector and the fight with the wolf are not apocryphal, they are all real things.
"How the Shepherd Dog Was Trained" Hao • 100,000 Why Scarlett Goes Online.
"I don't know" Yan Muqing was speechless when asked, and simply scolded her.
"Isn't there a professional sitting next to you? Don't let me get an axe in this class" After speaking, his eyes glanced at Muren.
Muren held the steering wheel with one hand and scratched his head embarrassedly with the other. Then patiently explained to Scarlett.
Yan Muqing stopped talking and listened carefully.
The grassland shrouded by the setting sun adds a sense of tranquility, and the children playing games outside the yurt chase after me. Horses grazing with their heads down, occasionally flicking their tails and raising their heads. The afterglow shines through the clouds, reflecting the surrounding clouds and the green grasslands.
Yan Muqing opened the car window, the slightly cool air came to his face, his arms were folded, his head poked out of the window slightly, and he closed his eyes in the breeze, enjoying the tranquility of this moment.
Suddenly, there was a "da-da-da" sound not far away, from far and near, deafening, as if the road under his feet was trembling, like ten thousand horses galloping, no, it was really ten thousand horses galloping.
"Sister Qing, Sister Qing, look, horse team"
"Wow, it's spectacular, Sister Qing, have you seen it? Feed.. Feed.. Hello" Hao Scarlett was so excited that if she hadn't been able to open the door now, she might have jumped down excitedly.
The group of horses in the circle, it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that ten thousand horses are galloping, there must be hundreds of horses, and the wrangler roars while riding, "Yo roar ~ Yo roar ~"
Yan Muqing also became excited, and followed the wrangler's shouting with "Yo Roar, Yo Roar".
The leader of a snow-white horse, long mane flying, four hooves churning, beautiful running posture like a petrel through the storm, confident and flamboyant, the moving horse neighing sound resounded in the sky, in response to the shouts of the wrangler, the galloping horses from all directions poured out, the color of the horses was more chaotic, the white only the leader one, the horse's mane and tail fluttered in the wind, one by one galloped past, the battle line was very long and long, but it was advancing rapidly, passing through the ravine, the horse jumped up, and hit the sky, The people in the car who watched this scene were dumbfounded, and it was a magnificent scene of thousands of horses galloping.
The sound of the horse's hooves "clicking" shook the soul, and the hot blood in the chest seemed to rush out with the sound of iron hooves in the next moment.
Facing the setting sun, the horses disappeared from the field of vision of the three of them after a while, if it weren't for the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, if it weren't for the dust left by the horses crossing the border, I thought it was in a dream.
"Sister Qing, Sister Qing, was it real just now?" Scarlett didn't believe her eyes.
"Of course it's true, it's so cool" Yan Muqing was also very excited
"Muren, do you often see such a scene," Hao Sijia asked excitedly, shaking Muren's sleeve
"Hey, hey, calm down" Yan Muqing was amused by her behavior.
Mu Ren looked at the sleeves that were being shaken by Hao Sijia, and nodded embarrassedly
"I saw it a lot when I was a kid, and now I rarely have the opportunity to see such a scene"
"Why, you don't graze now?" Scarlett was puzzled.
"Since the implementation of the three-animal husbandry policy, many herders in the pastoral areas have moved out of the grassland and into the big cities, and my family too, I miss the life of herding very much," Muren said regretfully.
"Don't regret it, tomorrow will let you experience the life of herding, hehe," Hao Si said haughtily. Then he turned his head to look at Yan Muqing
"Sister Qing, Sister Qing, didn't you record it just now, I patronized it, and it's a pity that I forgot to record it."
"I recorded it, and I'll pass it back to you" Yan Muqing raised his mobile phone and said proudly.
"Sister Qing, I love you to death, Mo Da" Hao Scarlett began to smile hippie.
"Okay, don't be poor, let's keep walking, we should be able to arrive before dinner," Yan Muqing asked Muren
"It's coming, about half an hour to go"
Yan Muqing sighed, it was finally almost here

Three animal husbandry policy: Since 2000, various grazing areas have implemented a new three animal husbandry system of forbidden grazing, fallow grazing and rotational grazing to improve the increasingly bad grassland ecological environment. Reasons for implementation: Due to the influence of toxic weeds, rodents and insects, livestock carrying capacity and human factors, the grassland resources in the area are seriously desertified, degraded and desertified. The emergence of these problems has seriously restricted the development of animal husbandry in the region.
