Chapter 101: Horses

"Hey! Sud, doesn't he know how to ride a horse? ”

As soon as the two approached, the young man named Mungen asked. Feng Hua's posture of riding a horse just now was a little handsome.

Su De spread his hands: "I just knew. ”

A few people chatted for a few words and didn't say more, donkeys are not as easy to manage as horses, and they have to watch from time to time, so that they don't have to run away or fight.

Spring is the breeding season, and it is most normal for males to fight for females.

On this day, the war has not been broken, Feng Hua watched happily, and gave Su De a blank look.

He also said that he would not scream during the day, and that he would not scream in groups, but when the fight started, the screaming was even worse and more terrifying. If you lose, you have to shout, and if you win, you have to shout.

Feng Hua decided to release the horse tomorrow.

She wanted to eat just donkey meat, and she didn't want to know what the donkey looked like.

Hearing that Feng Hua was going to release the horse, Su De laughed for a while.

"What's so funny? Do you think their calls are nice? The hobby is quite chic. ”

Sud had already stopped, but he laughed again when he heard her description, this kid is really interesting.

It's a pity, it's a Han Chinese......

That night, Unn went back to the tent to sleep, but Feng Hua was still by Su De's side, and she also found out that Su De slept very honestly and almost didn't turn over.

It was useless to be caught between his two elder brothers, and when he woke up in the morning, Feng Hua found that he was still on the other side of the tent.

Today she was going to follow Unn to herd the horse, only to find that Sud was still following her, and she was still riding Mungen's horse.

"You're not going to herd the donkey today?" Feng Hua asked.

"I used to herd horses, but now that everyone has gone out to fight wolves, and there are fewer people who herd donkeys, I went to help for a few days."

"Then you don't need to help today?"

"It's not bad for one day or two, and it's not bad for me." The key is that he is able to speak Chinese, except for him, Ah Wu is him, and he Ah Wu will not leave his Eji in the past few days......

Feng Hua also understood in an instant that people were specially here to be her translator. Feng Hua smiled at Su De, that smile was as bright as the spring sun, and it made people happy to look at.

Su De sighed in his heart and said, "My Ah Wu said that you are his friend's son, what does your father do?" ”

Alatan was very tight, and he didn't say much to his family, of course, maybe he didn't have time to say it.

"My dad is in the army."

Su De's eyes darkened: "Just came to the grassland?" ”

"yes."

"When are you leaving?"

"Huh?" Feng Hua was stunned for a moment, who is leaving? She? But the context was like asking her dad when he was leaving.

This question is a bit stranger.

"Will your father stay on the prairie forever?" Sud asked again.

That's the problem.

"No, it won't." Feng Hua hesitated for a moment and said, "Probably not." "If he could, Alatan Cang should be able to see her often, but that was obviously impossible.

She was going somewhere else in the future, and based on the current traffic conditions, she estimated that she would not come to the grassland again in a few years.

Sud did not speak again.

Feng Hua was puzzled.

"Something?" Feng Hua asked, she was really curious, Su De didn't look like a person who talked nonsense.

Sud looked at him for a moment, then shook his head at the end.

Feng Hua thought about it for a while and didn't care, she didn't guess what others were thinking.

The horses were indeed much quieter than the donkeys, and Feng Hua's mood suddenly improved.

She was now on a hillside, looking condescendingly at the herd.

A small herd of seven or eight hundred horses and dozens of horses took up a piece of pasture for the boss.

Feng Hua looked at it and found a strange phenomenon, it was really just a group of dozens! Thirty or forty, forty or fifty horses came together to form a small herd, clearly distinguishing it from the others.

Occasionally, a horse would run near another herd of horses while eating grass, and a horse would come out of its original herd and kick it back.

More dedicated than others! And the so-called wranglers are sleeping on the grass! No one looked at the horses.

"Huh? Ay! Feng Hua pointed to an outlier, being kicked by a horse, and said, "What's going on?" Horses put their own horses? ”

Sud glanced at it and said with a smile: "The one that was bitten was only a horse, that is, a mare, and it was a stallion that bit it." The mare is out of the herd, and the stallion is naturally unwilling. ”

As soon as he said this, Feng Hua understood. There can only be one stallion in a herd, which is also the official horse, the head horse, and bears the responsibility of protection and mating.

There is a head horse, and it is guaranteed that not a single horse can be lost, it will definitely show you to death, and it is responsible for protecting the mare when the wolf comes. The mare just needs to form a circle and protect the foal.

In the same way, it has the sole right to mate, and it is only allowed to covet the mares of other herds, and not to allow its own mares to be coveted by other stallions.

"Look, they fight too." Sud suddenly pointed into the distance and said.

Feng Hua saw that the two horses had already pulled apart, ran and collided with each other at a rapid speed, and then began to bite. That posture is really desperate.

"Don't you care?" Feng Hua said worriedly: "Look! It's all bleeding! The horse's teeth were sharp, and Feng Hua saw a line of blood running down the horse's neck.

Su De squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while: "You have such good eyes." ”

Feng Hua ......

"Leave it alone." Su De put down his hand and said to Feng Hua: "I can't care, whoever goes over to kick whoever goes over now, maybe the two horses kick together." Remember, stallions in heat are very dangerous and should never be approached. ”

At the end, the tone was very serious.

"Can't get close? Isn't it okay when you're not fighting? Feng Hua asked.

Su De shook his head and said in a deep voice: "No, you will be kicked the same, don't say that you are a stranger, and even the master will be kicked if you are in a bad mood." After a pause, it may be that all livestock now do not have a so-called owner, which is not quite accurate

"Anyway, you don't go near this herd, it's better." Sud pointed to a group of ponies and said, "See how they're different?" ”

Feng Hua followed his finger and looked, this is also a herd of horses... Right? They stand more unruly, spreading out in a large area, occasionally walking between herds, but they do not join any group.

When they came close to other herds, there were no stallions to drive or retrieve them.

Feng Hua shook his head, not understanding.

"Those are geldings." Sud asked, "Do you know what a gelding is?" ”

Feng Hua nodded, of course I know this, it is a castrated stallion, after the stallion is 2 years old, except for those who are kept as stallions, everything else has to be castrated.

"The gelding is much more docile than the stallion, and only the gelding is suitable for riding, otherwise when it comes to estrus, the stallion driving sees a mare passing by, hehe, you can only go to the mare's house." Sud made a joke.

But it's definitely true. Just rush at them to invite the six relatives to not recognize the posture, and still want to ride? Who rides and who doesn't know yet.

The gelding herd and the gelding herd are separate, absolutely not mixed, this is their natural separation, not artificial.
