Chapter 1134 – Horse King
“I say Zhuang Rui, are you here to drink in the prairie or to do archeology? It’s been three days already, but we have agreed that if we don’t find anything within half a month, we have to go back to Beijing.”
Dr. Ren was drunk the day before yesterday, when he sobered up at noon the next day, but found that Zhuang Rui actually drunk again, he was the leader of the personnel is not clear, the archaeological work naturally can not be carried out, in a blink of an eye on the prairie stayed for three days.
“Hey, brother Ren, no hurry, not there are more than ten days work? Come on, how about you take a look at this Yuan Dynasty crafted Uzi steel knife? It absolutely cuts iron like mud!”
Zhuang Rui waved his hand with indifference, this time he came to the prairie, met Timur and Bartel, these bold friends, even if he gained nothing in archaeology, Zhuang Rui thought it was worth it.
And Timur gifted him this round moon scimitar, but also let Zhuang Rui love, play with the gem on the sheath, feel the blade at the cold, Zhuang Rui excited to pull out a hair, ready to give Dr. Ren show a blowing hair.
Dr. Ren was made to laugh and cry by Zhuang Rui, and after waving his hand to stop his action, he said, “Come on, come on, you don’t want to sharpen the iron like clay, it’s better to think about the next step!”
“Brother Ren, this matter is not urgent, according to historical records, if Genghis Khan mausoleum is really in the Ordos region, it is estimated that it is also leaning towards the Ordos Plateau that near the Alzhai Grottoes, let’s go there to investigate on the line.”
Zhuang Rui on the Yuan history has a deep study, analyzed a few places that have the possibility of burying Genghis Khan, but also on the number of Ordos Plateau on the Arzai Grottoes is more reliable a little bit.
As for the expedition to Zhuang Rui, that is not a thing, there are two days to walk around the Ordos, what is clear.
“But ……”
“Zhuang Rui An answer, you woke up?”
Just when Dr. Ren still wanted to speak, the yurt’s cloth curtain was lifted up, Timur and Bartel walked in together, followed by that quirky little girl Uyunqiqig.
“Big brother, there is something I want to talk to you guys about!”
Zhuang Rui stood up, motioned the two to a chair, and said, “Big brother Timur, big brother Bartel, the purpose of our coming here, you may already know, we are from the archaeology team of the Beijing University, and this time we came to the prairie in the hope of finding the tombs of the Yuan emperors, and filling in the blanks in this section of Yuan history in the history of Chinese archaeology.”
Previously, Zhuang Rui had never dared to explicitly talk to Bartel about their origins, after all, although he called it archaeology in a beautiful name, what he was doing was actually digging the graves of the other party’s ancestors.
It should be known that all the Mongols were calling themselves descendants of Genghis Khan, and for thousands of years on this prairie, Genghis Khan had unrivaled prestige.
After Zhuang Rui finished these words, he stole a glance at the two men and then said, “Two big brothers, we are scientific archaeology, you don’t have to be afraid that you will disturb the spirits of your ancestors.”
Concerning the religious beliefs as well as the living habits of ethnic minorities, the state has always paid great attention to it, if the local residents vigorously oppose it, even if the Genghis Khan Mausoleum is found, I’m afraid that it can’t be excavated.
“It’s like this!”
Bartel mused and spoke, “Brother Zhuang, I won’t hide it from you, just in these few years, there are quite a few archaeological teams that have come here, also wanting to look for the mausoleum of Heavenly Khan, but none of them could find it, I see that your hopes are also very slim.”
“Big brother Bartel, you guys don’t object to us searching for Genghis Khan’s tomb?”
Zhuang Rui first froze after hearing Bartel’s words, then reacted to the fact that the Tian Kehan he mentioned was Genghis Khan, and couldn’t help but rejoice, having these locals to lead the way is definitely much better than bumping around like a headless fly.
Bartel smiled and said, “We are not willing to have our ancestor’s tomb reappear in the world, but if you guys can find it, it’s also the will of the Everlasting Heaven, and we won’t object to it.”
In today’s technology and communication is so advanced, many Mongolians have also long said goodbye to their herding career, and even the vast majority of Mongolians don’t even recognize the Mongolian script anymore.
A nation worships their ancestors, that is because of the great achievements that their ancestors once made, but now their national form has undergone a fundamental change, that is why it is not so offensive to the many scientific research teams that come to look for the tombs of their ancestors.
And if we can really find Genghis Khan’s mausoleum, then for the grassland economy, it will also be a huge boost, at least the tourism industry will certainly get a long development.
“Okay, this thing first not to talk about, Zhuang brothers, I today is to lose the lottery to you to come, go! Go to my ranch, at that time, besides Red Blood, other horses are at your disposal.”
Talking with others about how to unearth ancestral tombs is always something that doesn’t make people that happy, Bartel patted Zhuang Rui’s shoulder and sidetracked the topic.
“Okay, let’s go and take a look together, but big brother Bartel, what you said before was that you were going to send me a horse that is the same as Red Blood!”
Zhuang Rui heard also laughed, in the prairie gallop, this is every man’s heart dream, these days Zhuang Rui has been “busy” drinking, did not care about this, and now hear Bartel talk about, suddenly can not help.
Standing next to the Timur heard the two conversations, couldn’t help but say: “Zhuang Rui Anta, Bartel big brother is fooling you, his pasture only one horse king, that is red blood, other horses simply can’t be compared with it.”
“Timur, this everything is afraid of a traitor ah! What, after recognizing Brother Zhuang as Anta, you betrayed me as your big brother?”
Bartel wasn’t angry and said with a smile, “I, Bartel, am a man of my word, I will definitely help you find a good horse that is not inferior to Red Blood, let’s go, go to the stable first.”
Hearing that there is a horse to ride, Dr. Ren also does not dwell on archaeology not archaeology, bumbling also followed, in addition to Peng Fei who heard the news, plus Uyunqiqiqi this little girl, a line of five or six people out of the gathering place, towards the horse farm.
Bartel’s horse farm is not very far from the gathering place, walking is also more than ten minutes of time, in walking to the place where there are still one or two hundred meters away from the horse farm, you can hear the neighing of the horses.
Bartel suddenly stopped in his tracks, hooked his right thumb and forefinger into a circle, reached into his mouth and whistled loudly.
Along with Bartel’s whistle, a high horse neighing sound, originally boiling noisy horse field, suddenly became silent, a fire cloud like red stallion from the horse field railing jumped out, four hooves flying, in an instant came to the front of the crowd.
This horse and the general Mongolian horse is very different, ordinary Mongolian horse body is not big, the average height is only 120 ~ 142 cm, and this horse standing height is more than one meter seven, body is golden yellow, it is a bit like the legend of the blood of the BMW in general.
In 2000, the President of Turkmenistan, as a symbol of peace and friendship between China and Turkey, once gifted the country a sweat-blooded horse called Akhdash, which disappeared from the view of the Chinese people for a thousand years, and then returned to the prairie.
However, Bartel’s one was obviously not the same sweat-blooded horse that had been gifted, and it was estimated that the parents of this horse had the genes of a sweat-blooded horse, which had given birth to such a horse that looked like a sweat-blooded horse in a situation of extremely low probability.
“What a horse king!”
Zhuang Rui couldn’t help but praise, this Red Blood was like the White Lion, both were strong in their respective races, a neigh could silence ten thousand horses, so it was evident that it was formidable.
Hearing Zhuang Rui praising Red Blood, Bartel’s face showed a difficult look, he thought that Zhuang Rui was just fancying this lumpy baby of his, and couldn’t help but murmur, “Brother Zhuang, it’s fine for you to want Red Blood actually, but this horse has a violent temperament, and hasn’t let anyone else ride it except for me, so… …”
After Zhuang Rui heard Bartel’s words, he knew that he misunderstood his meaning, and quickly waved his hand and said, “Don’t, big brother Bartel, I don’t mean that, a gentleman doesn’t take away a person’s favor, and Red Blood is more deserving of running on the prairie, rather than going back to Beijing with me.”
“Hehe, Brother Zhuang, don’t worry, the horse I’m going to send you is guaranteed to be no worse than Red Blood.”
Bartel sniffed and put his heart back into his stomach, if Zhuang Rui decided he wanted this Red Blood, he really didn’t know what to do.
Timur obviously on the words of Bartel some not think, skimmed his mouth and said: “not worse than red blood? Big brother Bartel, in our prairie, is there a horse like that?”
“Timur, have you forgotten the group of wild horses found in the mountain pass some time ago?” Bartel laughed.
When Timur heard Bartel’s words, he immediately rounded his eyes and said loudly, “What? You mean that head horse? But big brother Bartel, we have thought of so many ways to capture it, and if you use any means, even if you capture it, you will not be able to tame it.”
“I say two big brothers, what are you talking about?”
Zhuang Rui was listening a bit confused, it seems that there is a horse that is not similar to Red Blood, but it seems that it doesn’t belong to Bartle right now, and I don’t know how this big man gave it to himself.
“It’s nothing, brother Zhuang, just rest assured! In a moment, everyone will each pick a good horse, we might be going out for a few days.”
Bartel didn’t directly answer Zhuang Rui’s words, but put on an air of confidence, in fact, in his heart, he wasn’t completely sure that he could convince that head horse to give it to Zhuang Rui.
“Going out for a few days? It’s going to take a few days ah?”
Zhuang Rui sniffed and froze, just now he also wondered why Bartel came to the horse farm back so big a package and a few water bladder, dare to say that it is already prepared.
But Zhuang Rui’s grassland archaeology program, now only twelve or thirteen days left, he did not have so much time to compete with a horse.
