In this strange land, your heart will be extraordinarily peaceful, because you don't have to hide your sadness, and you don't have to show your happiness to anyone. Only you know yourself here.

A hundred miles around, there is no one inhabited, only a meadow with no end in sight like the sea.

The grassland and the sky are equal, the sky is as big as you look up, and the grassland is as big as you look down.

But later we learned that every herdsman on the grassland has their own territory, which they will separate with barbed wire.

So if you let the sheep and horses out on the grassland, you are not afraid of losing them, because a simple barbed wire can trap them.

sheep on the prairie

sheep going out and sheep coming home

I get up very early every day, because the night here is very quiet, as if I can hear the sound of the moon. Without the sounds of the city, it's easy to fall asleep in no time.

When I was early, I saw the flock of sheep that had just come out of the sheepfold.

The sheep in summer don't need to be fed, they can be fed by themselves when they are released.

horse on the prairie

horses grazing in the morning

Can you imagine waking up one morning, pushing open the door and seeing horses grazing quietly close at hand?

They are very close to you, doing their own things. When they find your existence, they look up at you, and then continue to lower their heads to eat grass.

You thought you were dreaming, but suddenly you remembered that you were on the grassland, and you were sleeping in a yurt.

So, you don't want to stay in bed anymore, you want to get up right away, breathe the fresh air, look up at the cloudless sky, and see the fresh grassland. By the way, at this time, the moon is still hanging in the sky.

There was a lot of dew on the grass in the early morning, as if it had just rained, very humid.

running horse

The sheep go out in the morning and come home in the evening. And the horse went home in the morning, and disappeared at night.

So, if you want to see the horses, you have to go early, the horses will go home to drink water in the morning, and there is a well here. The horse will stay near the home for a while. And they are rarely seen during the day.

Coming here, I know one more thing. It turns out that every group of horses has a leader horse, and except the leader horse is a male, the others are basically female mares. The mare gives birth to a foal, and if it's a female foal, then she can follow the herd for the rest of her life. If this is a male pony, when the pony becomes an adult, it will be kicked out of the herd by the lead horse, and the pony will basically be caught and castrated as a riding horse.

If you see a horse on the grassland, but there is no equipment on the horse, such as: leash, saddle and so on. Basically, it can be regarded as a semi-manually raised wild horse, and such a horse should keep a distance from it.

blue sky on the prairie

The weather is fine, the sky is blue.

On the way to the toilet, just like this, I ran into him inadvertently.

That's right, when you go to the toilet, you don't need to look at your phone, you can look up at the screen of your phone.

Grassland people's daily routine - goat milk powder

Here, I like to drink millet porridge. Add goat milk powder and a little sugar in it to make it more flavorful.

The taste of goat milk powder is very familiar, and there is almost no smell of goat milk. It is imported from Russia. We drink a bowl every morning. It has changed the goat milk powder that Giya’s family needs to drink for a month into a few days.

Yes, haha, the two of us are too good to eat, and we are here to harm Gia's food. No, seeing so many sheep, I couldn't help but feel greedy again.

Grassland people's daily life - eating mutton

Can you imagine, such a cute lamb, when you hear that you want to eat it.

I said "ah", and we ran to the toilet.

I think this is a terrible thing, and I have to watch the whole process, saying that it is absolutely impossible! ! horrible!

Aria often made fun of the two of us by bouncing around. She was actually afraid of killing sheep, and she naughtily asked us to watch the scene of eating sheep.

The origin of lamb

However, there are guests visiting every day, and fresh mutton is eaten almost every day. When I got up one morning, there were already a dozen "sheep" hanging in the yard.

"Hey, Xiao Min. Look, there are a lot of sheep in the yard. Do you want to see them?"

"Ah? Where? Where?"

We were numb to the point where we even thought we could help. In fact, it is not as bloody as imagined, it is very gentle and peaceful, we have learned a lot.

hand meat

Today at noon we have fresh mutton again. Grate the meat with your hands, chop the meat with your hands, and then dip it in cumin powder. It's really delicious. It is also delicious to eat directly, with the original taste.

The Daily Life of the Grassland People - Guest's Residence

yurt

We have guests visiting today, and we are going to clean the yurts for the guests.

The weather is so nice, with blue sky and white clouds, and I can take pictures of the Windows desktop at my fingertips.

The Daily Life of Grassland People—Seasoning in the Sun

In July, the flowers are in full bloom, a large piece of lavender flowers, very beautiful! This flower is a seasoning.

Some guests like to pick flowers with a bag when they come here.

It is very hot at noon, and the sun is hot on the body. The sheep will cuddle up to each other and bury their heads in the ground, so that it seems that it will not be so hot.

Noon is the hottest time in the grassland, and the sun is very strong. The clouds are a little different today, see? This is the prototype of the cloud in the cartoon, right? The flowers hang in the sky one by one, as if you can touch them with your hands, it is so spectacular.

The Daily Life of Prairie People - Free Cat

We are petting a cat, a prairie cat, a half-wild, half-domestic cat. The whole grassland is its home, free and carefree, that's probably what it is about.

The chubby greedy cat ran into our room to beg for food. In order to take a picture of it, I lay down on the ground again~~

The Daily Life of Prairie People - Afternoon and Evening

The colors are ever-changing and the layers are different. It would be even better if you brought paint and a drawing board to paint! The yurt under the sunset The yurt under the sunset

Night begins to fall, the sky is ever-changing, and you can change a beautiful dress every day. As long as you look up, you will always see a different sky.

In my spare time, I always like to go outside to watch. What are you looking for? have no idea. Just want to wait.

Caixia, clouds, moon, stars, the horizon of the curtain... I think I am waiting for them to reveal the most special and beautiful moment, and I want to record it.

Every time I see the moment I want to record, I have to run back to the room and pull out the phone that is still charging (the phone that was out of power because of taking pictures). Sometimes, the beauty can only last for tens of seconds or a minute. , When you can’t catch up, you can only remember it with your eyes.

Grassland People's Daily Life - Roasted Whole Lamb

Roasted Lamb

The first time I saw a roasted whole lamb, wearing a blue Hada. The meaning of Hada is good luck, with very good blessings. The body is covered with a red cloth, which also means good fortune, longevity and well-being. Symbolically holding a root of grass in his mouth, it made me laugh.

There is a ceremony before eating roasted whole lamb, and the scene is very lively. At this time, the master of ceremonies needs to explain and bless the ceremony.

The Daily Life of Grassland People——Bonfire Party

Campfire

Everyone who comes here as a guest will let go of himself when he sees this boundless grassland, as if he has accumulated a long, long time of depression, and when he comes here, he must release it to his heart's content. Live as happily as you can, as long as everyone is happy.

Light the bonfire, take out the stage music box, and let go of passionate, nostalgic, classical, and romantic music for singing and dancing.

Campfires use cow dung as fuel and can burn for a long time.

Everyone usually brings a car of fireworks by themselves, and puts the last touch on the journey on this uninhabited, vast and boundless grassland.

Daily Life of Grassland People - Fireworks in the Dark Night

fireworks on the prairie

Eating a big meal, listening to stage music, watching the fireworks, the grassland seems to be yours at this time, this is a world that belongs to you. Do what you want to be happy. What I saw was everyone smiling like flowers and laughing like the sea.

I was a little drunk from the wine, my face was slightly flushed, I forgot everything, I couldn't remember anything, I lay down, and it will be tomorrow.

I remember one time, I saw the guests took out the light strips and lined up a glowing heart shape in the dark night.

The Daily Life of Grassland People - Picking up Trash

pick up trash

Although, it was an unforgettable evening. But after the fireworks are in full bloom, a lot of smoke and dust remain, polluting the environment and leaving a lot of garbage that takes a lot of time to disappear.

Garbage on the prairie, white garbage must be transported to a big pit far, far away to be buried.

Although the grassland is very large, I don't know if the garbage is not properly resolved after many years, whether it will greatly affect this beautiful ecological grassland and the animals.

The Daily Life of the Grassland People - The Terrible Fly

Although flies do not bite, the sound of "buzzing" is unbearable when there are a large number of them.

So before going to bed, you must light mosquito coils, close the door, and wait for the flies to faint before entering. Seriously, how come there are so many flies this day...

So far, the next thing I want to talk about is the interesting chapter of Xilamuren.
