Chapter 194: Exploring No Man's Land
The whole line ran non-stop for at least five or six days, and there were two replenishments of gasoline in between. The group chatted while driving, admiring the most pristine natural landscape.
On the road, I also saw a lot of Buddhists who kowtowed, and when they heard Yiming, they folded their hands and paid respect. Faith is a kind of physical practice, and it is through this ascetic practice that one can strengthen one's heart and purify one's thoughts, and one is a true believer.
"Brother Bazaar, is there a fake Tibetan mastiff in the local area?" After Yu Qian and Bazaar got acquainted with each other, they began to inquire about the inside story.
Bazaar hesitated, but still said frankly: "If there is a dog market in the city, there are really people selling fake mastiffs." In previous years, many people were fooled and spent a lot of money on fakes. In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer Tibetan mastiffs, the threshold is high, the price is expensive, and there are not many people who can raise them. ”
"Connoisseurs like you like to go into Tibet to choose varieties by yourself, one is assured, and the other is to choose more. None of the dogs raised by real Tibetans are pet dogs, and even if they are not Tibetan mastiffs, they are fierce. Domesticating livestock, guarding the home, and defending against wild wolves are all protectors of their masters. ”
Bazar is a native Tibetan who has a strong affection for mastiffs, and cattle and sheep are the main property of the locals here. Without the protection of dogs, it is not only inconvenient to graze, but also attacked by wild wolves, and both people and money will be lost.
"Therefore, the more ferocious the Tibetan mastiff, the more it has to go through the test of nature, and the survival of the fittest is a rule set by God. According to me, the so-called bloodlines are evolved from long-term survival of the fittest, even if an ordinary dog survives in a harsh environment for several years, it will be full of wildness. ”
Yu Qian nodded and asked, "It is said that the native mastiff is the best breed, isn't it?"
"Surely the native mastiff is the essence left behind by the layers of nature and tempering. One mastiff fighting nine wolves is an exaggeration, but I have personally seen the record of one mastiff biting three wild wolves to death! No matter how good the bloodline is, it is not a good mastiff in the hearts of Tibetans without tempering. ”
All living things in nature are survival of the fittest, and so are people. Animals evolved to gain strength and speed, while humans improved intelligence and technology, both in essence. The reason why special forces are so powerful is because they can become the strongest combat force after the test of life and death.
After driving along the highway for half a day, the road became less and less, and the car kept bumping, and they really entered the area where the Tibetans lived for grazing.
There is no fixed reference everywhere, and it is easy to get lost even in the direction. Thanks to the experienced guide of Bazaar, I was able to cross several dangerous sections without danger, and finally arrived at a small village in the evening, where I will rest tonight.
"Let's stay here for one night today, I know the herdsman very well, let's go to his house in the evening. "The bazaar went to negotiate, let people get off the bus with their luggage, and arranged accommodation.
After settling down, everyone finished eating, the two of them couldn't be idle, and they did a day's car, and their whole body hurt, so they moved.
Yu Qian came to this place for the first time and said excitedly: "Let's go around and see if there are any good mastiffs?"
The two began to walk around the small village, and when they saw a few Tibetan mastiffs, they didn't dare to walk in, they looked very powerful from a distance, and they were obviously more murderous than those raised in the city. No wonder it is said that mastiffs that have left Tibetan areas are no different from ordinary dogs for generations.
The people in the village all spoke Tibetan, and there was no way to communicate, so Yu Qian originally wanted to ask, but was stopped by Wen Yiming. Originally, he was an outsider, so listen to Bazaar's words and wait for him to negotiate more securely.
"Have you seen the mastiffs raised by the Tibetans?
Yu Qian shook his head and said regretfully: "There are really a few good mastiffs, but unfortunately I can't communicate with the Tibetans, so I can only ......watch from afar."
Bazaar laughed and said: "It's good to know, you are quite sensible, there were many customers who went directly to ask for the price in the past, causing a lot of trouble." I said that the dogs here are not pets in the city, their identities are different, and they will definitely fight if they go rashly. ”
"Then when will we meet the mastiff we can buy?" Yu Qian was a little anxious.
"Tomorrow I will be able to go to a few Tibetans I am familiar with, there are two good mastiffs there, and a few small mastiffs will be sold every year, be patient and wait!"
Yu Qian had no choice, he didn't say anything all night, he was bumpy all day, everyone slept very early, got up early the next day to eat, and continued to set off.
The road is getting more and more difficult to walk, I see a lot of wild animals, there are Tibetans grazing, large herds of cattle and sheep are driven by two or three mastiffs, Tibetans ride horses, wave whips, shout slogans and sing songs, harmonious nature.
"Uncle Maimaiti, are you at home?"
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, I finally arrived at the second village, and after getting off the bus, Bazaar took the two people to the Tibetan house, and when I heard the shouting, an old man in his fifties came out.
Bazaar greeted him with a warm hug, and the two communicated in Tibetan, which should be his friend, the man who sold the mastiffs.
"Is that so, can you see his Tibetan mastiff?" Seeing that Bazaar came back, Yu Qian couldn't wait to inquire.
"He happens to have a puppy at home, let's go and have a look. ”
Yu Qian pulled the bazaar and left, ran for two days, and finally saw the real Tibetan mastiff, which was not easy. The three of them followed Maimaiti into the courtyard, the place was very large, and the land here was not valuable. There are dozens of sheep in the sheepfold, and that's the property. Maimaiti walked to the back of the house, and sure enough, he saw two large Tibetan mastiffs.
"Don't move, let the master go first, strangers will be attacked when they walk in!"
Bazaar hurriedly pulled Wen Yiming and Yu Qian, afraid that Yu Qian would walk in rashly and be attacked by the Tibetan mastiff. As soon as they saw a living person approaching, the two mastiffs immediately went on guard, lowered their bodies and roared, in a state of attack.
After Maimaiti approached, he kept comforting the two Tibetan mastiffs, and slowly they relaxed and crawled on the ground again, and then Maimaiti signaled the three of them to come closer.
"Let's go, let's take a closer look, don't touch it, just take a look!"
Bazaar was a little nervous, and once again warned Yu Qian that he was most afraid at this time. Even if there is an owner by his side, for fear that some people will be cheap, it is impossible for the Tibetan mastiff here to be touched by strangers, and something will definitely happen.
The three of them slowly approached, and when they reached two or three meters away from the Tibetan mastiff, they began to roar again. That's all for buying tips, and it's hard to control no matter how close it is.
I saw that the two mastiffs were at least one meter and five long, more than 50 centimeters tall when they stood up, one black and one yellow, powerful and fierce, and their eyes were full of wildness.
Suddenly, the big yellow mastiff's nose twitched a few times, and he glanced at the three people with some confusion, and suddenly ignored Maimaiti, and suddenly rushed to Wen Yiming, and the huge head quickly approached him.
"Not good!"
Bazaar was afraid of this situation, and didn't know why the Tibetan mastiff would take the initiative to attack Wen Yiming? They were too close, and the Tibetan mastiff was fast, and it was estimated that Wen Yiming would be attacked by the yellow mastiff!
"Get out of the way!"
Just when everyone thought that Wen Yiming was going to splash blood on the spot this time, the person concerned was very relaxed, and actually took the initiative to reach out to the head of the big yellow mastiff and caressed it with his hand cordially.
"What's going on?"
