Chapter 100: Horseback riding
"Then you've got good ears."
Sude listened attentively, and sure enough, he heard a small snoring.
Crawling over and carrying Qinggeltai back and covering the quilt, Su De and Feng Hua left the tent and came to the tent in Alatan Cang.
The two of them had already gotten up, even Qiqige, and were helping to prepare breakfast.
Breakfast was all meat and buns left over from last night, and another person had a bowl of fried rice with milk. This milk tastes a little strange, it doesn't taste like goat's milk and cow's milk, it's probably mare's milk.
Feng Huaqiang endured the drink and didn't show any dislike. At this time, stuttering is a gift, and it is enough to show disgust.
When Alatan Cang heard that Feng Hua was going to graze with him, he was worried: "Do you know how to ride a horse?" "The herding has to ride horses, and there is no such thing as walking.
And Feng Hua is 12 years old, not a child, unless it is a last resort, the grassland people prohibit two people from riding the same horse.
They like horses, and they are not allowed to hit their heads, scold them, or ride them together.
"Horseback riding, I'll do it a little." Feng Hua said. Learn ...... at the Equestrian Club Big bosses, you need some big bosses' pastimes.
She was pulled by a friend who loves betting on horses, and she just wanted to give him a face, but she didn't expect to like the feeling of riding a horse in the green space, so she can ride a horse.
But that kind of horseback riding and horseback riding here, she thought it must be different, so she didn't dare to say it to death.
Alatan Cang looked at Su De and said, "You look at him, teach him to ride a horse, and bring it back if he can't teach him, don't have any accidents." ”
Sud nodded, he really forgot about the question.
The two men got out of the yurt and walked towards the head of the village, where all the livestock, seven or eight hundred horses, more than 1,000 donkeys, more than 6,000 sheep and more than 2,000 cattle were kept.
There are so many livestock in one village, which is not the most in the whole steppe, but it is not very small either, and it belongs to the middle and upper level.
Feng Hua now has a super good memory, recalling many documents she had seen, she remembered that she once read a report that there were more than 2,000 animal husbandry cooperatives on the grassland in 59 years, which were actually village organizations, and then merged into 158 communes.
In '58, there were more than 26 million grassland livestock, and by '62 there were nearly 35 million.
On average, there are more than 10,000 livestock in a village.
......
Before I got closer, I heard the commotion, mainly the barking of donkeys and sheep, and the barking of dogs, and the neighing of horses was almost inaudible.
The large army of sheep has passed, Feng Hua only saw a tail, and he still observed it with his spiritual power, and the sky was still dark and he couldn't see anything.
Sud took him to the donkey pen, which was actually a field fenced off with a wooden fence.
Several people had gathered at the gate of the fence, and it seemed that they were herding donkeys together.
"Mungen, give your horse to my little guest to ride, and you can find another one." Sud said to a figure.
"That Han kid?"
"yes."
"That's fine." The man walked over, led a horse in his hand, and handed the reins to Sud.
"Will you get on the horse?" Su De asked, Feng Hua said before that he would be a little bit, and Su De assumed that he would not. Very few Han children can ride horses, and that little bit may have been helped by someone to sit on horseback.
Feng Hua tried the saddle and turned over neatly on the horse, his movements were chic and smooth. This has been specially practiced~
In addition, Mongolian horses are very short, 1.2-1.4 meters, and it is easier to get on the horse.
"Beautiful!" Sud gave a thumbs up. Although only a silhouette can be seen clearly because of the darkness, it is precisely because of this that the crispness of this action is highlighted.
"It's more than a little bit, it's humble." Sude said again.
"No, no, I've ridden a horse before, and I've never run wild." Feng Hua hurriedly said.
"Hahaha, we don't always run wild, that hurts the horse too much." Horses can't drink water and eat grass immediately after galloping, they will get sick, and they must wait until the heat of their limbs has gone down.
Someone came and led a horse and handed it to Su De, who said, "You guys go first, my little guest is not good at equestrianism, I will teach him to go again." ”
After saying that, he led the two horses to the side, and the others opened the fence, released the donkeys, and followed.
It may be that the donkey is happy to know that he is about to eat the grass, and of course he wants to call when he is happy, and you call me too......
When the donkeys went out for a long distance, Feng Hua felt that the sound of donkey barking was still echoing in his ears.
"Do they call that a day?" Feng Hua asked weakly, if this is the case, she won't look at the donkey, this magic sound fills her ears, and she has to go crazy at the end of the day.
"Hahahaha~" Su De smiled: "No, when you eat the grass for a while, you won't have time to scream, only when you go out and come back." ”
The donkeys had already walked away, and Su De was leading Feng Hua's horse slowly, his own horse did not pull the reins, but the horse had been following not far behind.
"You can ride too." Feng Hua was a little embarrassed and said, "Otherwise, I won't be able to catch up for a while." ”
"It's okay, although the horse you ride is relatively docile, it is also very naughty." Su De said: "Now I'm leading, it's okay for you to get on the horse and ride, if I let go, I don't know what to do." ”
This is still the most docile horse on their team, and if it is not docile, strangers will not be able to get on the horse.
Listening to his words, Feng Hua didn't insist anymore.
The day slowly dawned, and the two of them also walked out, and they could no longer see the yurts and the donkeys.
Su De taught Feng Hua the essentials of horseback riding again, and watched her run carefully for a while, before he got on the horse and followed alongside with some anxiety.
Fortunately, Mungen's horse seemed to be in a good mood today, did not play a temper, and trotted happily all the way. Or is it a favorite of the boy's scent?
Horses have a very sensitive sense of smell and poor vision, and generally rely on their sense of smell to distinguish everything, owners, food, strangers.
Yes, he smelled the fragrance of this young man yesterday, it was very refreshing, and there was a fragrance that seemed to be absent. I was surrounded by this fragrance in my dreams, and I seemed to be in a good mood.
Sud lowered his head and sniffed the smell of his body vaguely, frowning. He hasn't showered in months? I can't remember exactly......
It's hard to believe that this young man hasn't shown anything unusual. But he hasn't taken a shower in a long time, has he? It took a long time to walk from the outside to their village. Han children are different from them, they are fragrant without bathing for so long.
Feng Hua didn't pay attention to Su De's movements, she found the feeling of riding a horse in her previous life again, and it was even better than that!
Now she's physically better, more agile, and can handle the horse with ease, and the horse seems to be exceptionally cooperative?
Feng Hua let go of his courage and slowly increased his speed.
Su De's eyes lit up, this is really not just a little bit, this riding skill is no different from them, and even, the posture is more elegant.
When he caught up with the donkeys, Feng Hua felt that he could completely let the horse run wild.
