In Miao Miao's impression, Mizanbaik, a shepherd in his 50s.

In addition to eating and sleeping, when, there are cigarettes in your hands that never leave your hands.

Even if he rides a horse to drive cattle and sheep, he still has a cigarette in his mouth.

Three big men eat hot mutton and drink delicious mutton soup.

It would be better if you sprinkled some coriander and green onions in the lamb broth.

"Uncle Mi, what did the village chief of Dili Shati say?" Miao Miao was still concerned about the two wolves that appeared at night.

Mizanbaik grinned, "Dili Shati just informed me that the police from the forestry police station are going to stay here these nights, and they have a way. ”

Miao Miao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of the fierce light in the eyes of the two wolves at night, and her back began to sweat.

The hostess carefully put the pieces of cow dung cakes into the stove.

Then, wipe the teapot on the lid of the stove three times with a rag.

She was afraid of leaving a little dust on the teapot, which had long been her habit.

For a while, the warmth of the stove was filled with the scent of grass and trees.

Before leaving, Miao Miao and Calebiyat went to the east stream to scoop water.

It is said that this babbling stream comes from Mt. Osun in the south and is a perennial spring.

In early winter, the flowing stream has not yet frozen.

There are many reeds growing on both sides of the stream, and the breeze blows the light and soft reeds.

In the sunlight, the snowflakes of the reeds shimmer silver.

Looking at these inconspicuous and unpretentious reeds facing the breeze, swaying the slender golden branches, like a beautiful girl quiet and elegant.

Everywhere the wind passed, the clusters of reeds rolled like waves.

The two of them poured spoonfuls of clear water into a white plastic vat.

In a short time, two buckets full of water were carried into the adobe house by two young men.

is about to leave this paradise-like quiet wilderness, Miao Miao is a little reluctant.

Standing on the empty cornfield, Miao Miao stared at the clear blue sky and the rolling mountains.

The towering snow peaks of the Tianshan Mountains in the south, and the green snow ridge spruce.

The thin snow in the north could not hide the golden pastures, the wide winter pastures, and the herds of cattle and sheep, everything seemed so quiet and peaceful.

Not far away, from time to time, the "shhhh

He felt the beauty of nature deeply.

A plane to the south flew low in the air, and after the plane, a long white line was drawn across the clear blue sky.

Miao Miao asked Calebiyat beside her in confusion, "What is the helicopter doing?" ”

Calebiyat, who had long been accustomed to the airplane sowing grass seeds, smiled faintly, "The plane is sowing grass seeds. ”

Miao Miao squinted and took a closer look, and a helicopter circled in the air.

Along with the helicopter's trajectory, small grass seeds are evenly scattered on the southern grassland.

Originally, the Ningxi area launched the implementation of the degraded grassland ecological restoration and management project, and carried out fly sowing grass on the grassland under the Wusun Mountain to speed up the restoration of the grassland ecological environment.

In the winter, the seeds fall on the surface of the snow, and the next year the snow melts, and the seeds can penetrate deep into the surface with the snowmelt.

It can not only ensure the water required by the seeds, but also help to improve the germination rate and survival rate of the seeds.

Looking at the plane is like a painter's brush on the blue curtain, leaving wisps of light smoke.

Miao Miao told Calebiyat that he was a little envious of the herdsmen's life.

Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, the herders live in the wilderness deep in the mountains to herd their herds.

Cattle and sheep are herded every day, accompanied by sheepdogs, grazing at sunrise and resting at sunset.

The air quality here is good, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, and the soul is calm and baptized.

This isolated way of life has a kind of relaxation and comfort of a paradise, so unhappy, so uncomfortable, really desirable.

There is no pressure on urban people to buy a house as a house slave, high living expenses, child slaves, unemployment, low income, high prices, etc.

It will not become a machine for work and life, running at a high level, without anxiety and insomnia.

Calebiyat looked sideways at Miao Miao, who was looking up, with her eyes closed, imagining and envious, and chuckled a few times.

He said in a low voice: "Miao Miao, you envy the life of the herdsmen, but how do you know, I also envy you people who live in the city, live in a prosperous city, live in a house with a bathroom, although the pace of life is fast, hard, but can enjoy a convenient and modern life." We are in the pastoral area all the year round, there is no mobile phone signal, we can't see a person for dozens of kilometers, we are exposed to the wind and sun all day long, the living conditions of the real herdsmen are very difficult, and boring, dealing with cattle and sheep all day long, and there is no one to talk to. It's fresh for you to stay here for a few days, and if you stick to it for a month, I'm sure you won't say it again. Hahaha-----"

When Calebiyat said this, there was a faint sadness on his face.

In the eyes of outsiders, the beautiful grassland is always desirable.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the grassland is vast, quiet, beautiful, harmonious, natural and other beautiful words.

But in winter, the grasslands are desolate and lonely.

Wind and rain and bitter cold are the daily state of affairs in winter pastures.

Grazing in winter is actually an ordeal for herders.

But thinking that the meat quality of the grazing cattle and mutton is much fresher and stronger than that of the captive cattle and mutton, Calebiyat feels that all the hard work and effort are worth it.

Miao Miao opened her eyes after hearing this, and looked sideways at Calebiyat, who yearned for city life, and the two of them smiled.

Calebiyat let out a long sigh and said quietly, "Be content." ”

"Be content." Miao Miao muttered this ordinary word, and couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

He laughed at himself that no young Kazakh of the same age had understood the meaning of these four words.

In the days when Miao Miao lived in the winter pasture of the Mizanbaik family, she and Calebiyat were already called brothers.

Before Miao Miao left, Mizanbaik and his wife drove the cattle and sheep near the adobe house, and the two came to see Miao Miao off.

Mizanbaik gave Miao Miao 500 yuan for oil.

In the past few days, he has been pulling feed for his family, and Miao Miao has driven back and forth seven or eight times a day and refueled several times.

Miao Miao stuffed 500 yuan of gasoline money into Calebiyat's jacket pocket, "Brother Ka, we are both brothers, your family is too out-of-this, you don't treat me as a brother." ”

Calebiyat's family reluctantly watched Miao Miao drive away, and shouted vigorously: "When your wife comes back, she will definitely come to my house as a guest." ”

Watching Miao Miao's pickup truck slowly drive north, Calebiyat jumped on his horse.

He gently pulled the reins off with both hands, bent over and hunched over to chase Miaomiao's pickup truck.

He's saying goodbye to his friends in a way peculiar to the prairie.

It wasn't until the pickup truck was gone in the wilderness that he pulled the reins.

The front hooves of the black horse under him were raised, and the front body was tilted about 40 degrees, and it let out a few long neighs, as if it was singing a farewell song in a high-pitched manner.

Calebiyat rode on his horse and looked at the north for a long time.

He hadn't taken a bath for a week, Miao Miao felt itchy on his body, he didn't go to Rongsen, and rushed straight to Ningxi City.

He urgently needed a hot shower to remove the dirt from his body.

The pickup truck came to the entrance of Ningxi City, and on the two rows of passages into the city, two rows of small cars with different purposes walked slowly.

There are many staff standing at the entrance, checking the health of vehicles entering Ningxi City.

A female voice speaking standard Mandarin came from the loudspeaker on the side of the road, "Drivers, lower the window, put on your mask, turn on your mobile phone, and please show your health QR code." ”

Miao Miao clicked on "Healthy Ningxi" in the WeChat of his mobile phone, and after clicking on it, he was stunned, and his electronic health card was black.
