Chapter 1135 – Wild Horse Herd (I)

“Less than two or three days, more like four or five days!”

Bartel put the parcel with food and drinking water in his hand onto Red Blood’s back, for those of them who lived on the prairie, it was just a regular thing to go out for half a month without going home.

You know, with the increasing desertification and the expansion of the city, the living space on the prairie has become smaller and smaller, originally a lot of fertile grass and water, but now it is barren.

So the herders on the grassland in order to cattle, sheep and horses can eat the fat grass, they have to expand their own grazing territory, sleeping on the grassland, but every herdsman is used to things.

“To be so long ah?”

Zhuang Rui sniffed a little hesitant, he held his breath wanting to discover an emperor’s tomb in this prairie, in order to have a horse to go away for a few days, Zhuang Rui felt a little worthless.

“Zhuang Rui, since you’re here, just enjoy the flavor of the prairie! Anyway, I see that your kid isn’t very interested in archaeology.” At first, it was Dr. Ren who urged Zhuang Rui to work quickly, but now the situation was reversed.

Ren Chunqiang had sort of thought about it, anyway, this trip to the grassland was not likely to yield any gains, so it would be better to follow Bartel and the others to have a good time, and it would be considered a worthwhile trip.

“Brother Ren, I …… who said that I am not on it.”

Zhuang Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head, buddy that is called “the heart of the matter is vast even wide Yu, in the silent place to hear the thunder”, which unknowingly to do things.

The side of the Timur see Zhuang Rui face show hesitation look, then spoke out to persuade: “Zhuang Rui An answer, go together! The herd of wild horses on this grassland is getting fewer and fewer, sooner or later this herd of wild horses will also be subdued by someone, and then it will be just impossible to see them even if you want to.”

“Brother Timur, what is going on, you give the brother a word!”

Zhuang Rui just listened to Timur and Bartel’s conversation, and now still feels that there is no beginning and no end, he wants to figure out what is going on before making a decision.

Bartel grabbed the conversation and said, “Let me say it! It’s like this, some time ago when I was herding, I found a wild horse herd in a mountain pass, although the scale is not very big, but there are more than a hundred horses, just that the head horse of the wild horse herd is very powerful, I was not able to subdue it, and after disturbing that wild horse herd, they left the mountain pass, so we have to go out and look for their traces.”

It can be seen that Bartel for not being able to subdue the wild horse herd has been a bit grudging, for the prairie herders, to subdue the wild horse herd that is a supreme honor, but also a huge wealth.

Although to the modern society, the extensive use of automobiles, the role of horses to the lowest point, no more Cold War era of running horses across the invincible scene, but a horse is still expensive.

The most common domestic horse, now the market price is about 4000 to 8000 yuan, Mongolia horse is about 5000, Ili horse is about 6000 up and down, and slightly with some half-blood horse blood, is to be four or five million dollars a horse.

As for like the Turkish president gifted to China’s pure blood sweat blood horse, but also has a price, the international once love horse rich man out to tens of millions of dollars, have not been able to purchase a horse.

So if Bartel can subdue that group of wild horses, even if the horse breed is average, more than a hundred wild horses can be sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan, which is equivalent to his entire body now.

Zhuang Rui and other people came to the grassland that day, Bartel is with his brothers to go out to look for those wild horses, only to go to the mountain pass only to find that the wild horse herd has disappeared without a trace.

Now the grassland wild horses are almost extinct, such an opportunity can be encountered and can not be sought, if the first to be taken by someone else, then Bartel can be too late to regret.

In the past few days, if it wasn’t for accompanying Zhuang Rui and the others, Bartel would have already gone out to look for the wild horse herd, only out of courtesy it wasn’t good to leave the guests behind, that’s why he decided to bring Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei a few people to go with him.

“So that’s how it is.”

Although Bartel didn’t say it explicitly, Zhuang Rui also heard it out, it dares to say that the arrival of himself and the others affected Bartel’s their big plan to tame the horses, which is a very important thing for the grassland people.

“Cheng, big brother Bartel, let’s just go together to look for these wild horses.”

Zhuang Rui finally nodded his head, because he knew that if he insisted on refusing to go, I’m afraid that Bartel and Timur wouldn’t go to look for the wild horse herd, but would stay behind to accompany him to look for the tomb.

Sure enough, after Bartel heard Zhuang Rui’s words, his face showed joy and said, “Alright, brother Zhuang, I’ll pick a horse for you that is a bit more docile in character and runs fast.”

Between words, several people have come to Bartel’s horse field, said horse field, in fact, it is a piece of grass circled in the grassland with wooden fences, sixty or seventy horses in it leisurely eating grass, but see Zhuang Rui and other people’s arrival, slightly some commotion.

“Whinny ……”

Red Blood, who had been honestly following behind Bartel, suddenly sneezed and hissed with his head held high, and the stable was suddenly quiet, and there were a few mares that were obviously females, but they even came over to the side of the railing, sticking out their tongues and licking Red Blood’s neck that was held high.

“Bartel, a guest has come?”

Next to the gate of the horse farm, there was a simple hut, and the people in the hut heard the commotion outside and came out from inside.

“Father Uri Genda, bring out six saddles! We’re going out for a few days.”

Bartel smiled back, the old man nodded and didn’t say much, turning around and returning to the house.

Many domestic tourists came to the prairie in order to be able to ride their horses on the grassland and feel this primitive and spirited sport, so in the stables there were sets of harnesses available, of course, these were all charged for.

“Brother Zhuang, this horse is called Yellow Spot, it’s a mare, just four years old with teeth, it’s very docile and doesn’t run slow, so you can ride it!” Bartel opened the gate of the stable and walked in to take two horses out.

The one that walked in front was a mare that was about one meter four tall with yellow spots all over, only that mare didn’t seem to give much face to Bartel, as soon as it came out, it stuck to the side of Red Blood.

“Timur, Qiqiqi, go pick your own horses!”

Timur and Qiqige were both familiar with their own horse farms and didn’t need Bartel’s help in choosing a horse, after explaining this, Bartel looked at Peng Fei again and asked, “What’s the matter, are you going to choose it yourself or should I?”

Peng Fei’s horsemanship is what Bartel taught him, although it is not as good as his own people who grew up on horseback, but it is also extraordinary, so Bartel didn’t make the decision for Peng Fei.

“I’ll do it myself! How boring to ride a mare.”

Peng Fei sniffed a very “arrogant” look at Zhuang Rui and Dr. Ren, after this trip from Beijing, in front of these intellectuals, Peng Fei always has no sense of existence, and now there is finally a chance to raise his eyebrows.

“Brat, you’ll be embarrassed if you fall down later.”

Zhuang Rui laughed and scolded Peng Fei, took the saddle from Papa Wuzhi Ganda’s hand, and with Bartel’s help, put it on the yellow bit.

These horses were all tamed, and after putting on the saddle, there was no discomfort, Zhuang Rui gently pulled the reins, and the yellow bit followed behind him.

“Brother Zhuang, how about my horse? Do we look like Prince Charming?”

After about ten minutes or so, Timur and the others also picked a good horse, Peng Fei picked a white horse, but in the hooves and underbelly position, a little bit of yellow stray hairs, but it also looks quite steely, far from Zhuang Rui’s yellow bit can be compared.

Not to mention, Peng Fei was originally very handsome, sitting on this horse, really a bit of Prince Charming flavor.

“Still Prince Charming? I’ll go back and tell Zhang Qian about it. Don’t get carried away, be careful of being upside down.”

Although Zhuang Rui’s mouth said disdain, but in his heart is a little envious, his own crotch of this horse, really a little too common.

“Let’s go! Brother Zhuang, Dr. Ren, you guys follow behind, slowly familiarize yourselves with the next, hands should grasp the reins tightly, legs clenched, never run fast.”

After everyone had mounted their horses, Bartel explained the essentials of horse riding to Zhuang Rui and Ren Chunqiang, although the two of them were riding the most docile mares, it was impossible to guarantee that something would go wrong.

The reason why they weren’t allowed to go in front was because a horse king like Red Blood wouldn’t be willing to follow behind, and by the time they chased and kicked the two horses a few times, it might cause the horse to spook.

With the level of Zhuang Rui’s two people, if the horse really spooked, it would be a life-threatening thing, to know, the small arm of the most respected Premier at the beginning of the founding of the country was permanently disabled because of the spooked horse.

“Brother Bartel, don’t worry! I have also ridden a horse.”

Zhuang Rui gently nudged his two feet on the horse’s belly, and the yellow bit under his crotch suddenly trotted up, closely following behind Bartel.

Although Zhuang Rui didn’t like to go to clubs and such places much, but the manor he got from Ouyang Jun used to have a horse farm itself, and he had more or less ridden a few times, but of course, the feeling of riding a horse in that kind of place and on the prairie was very different.

“Row ah! It’s really something, Bartel underestimated you.”

Zhuang Rui’s skillful movements made Bartel’s eyes light up, only when he turned his face to look at Dr. Ren, he couldn’t help but frown again.

Compared to Zhuang Rui, Dr. Ren’s movements could be hard to watch, riding on the horse he would be craning his neck and bending his waist, his two hands gripping the reins for fear of being turned down by the slow moving horse.

“Brother Ren, this …… can not be ah! According to your speed, when can we find that group of wild horses?”

Although Bartel had always acted politely, at this moment, it revealed the straightforward character of being a Mongolian.
