When it comes to travel, we never settle for anything.
You have to believe that one day, the road you take bravely will turn into courage and strength, which will be deeply imprinted on your body and memory, and guide your future direction.
Today we decided to watch the sunrise, the time is about 5:30 in the morning. The windows in the room are large, and you can see the sunrise when you open the curtains.
Because of the large temperature difference between day and night, thick quilts are covered at night, but the sun comes out soon, and the temperature rises suddenly, so if you want to stay in bed in the morning, you will wake up from the heat in the end.
watch the sunrise
I was stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of me. How much luck did we have to encounter such a beautiful sunrise.
At first glance, today is another good day.
The more I watched, the more I was surprised, and finally it was really spectacular! ! Wake up early, but very lucky and very worthwhile! !
different food
For breakfast today, let's eat something different and steam the eggs ourselves. Stir a carton of milk with an egg and steam until cooked. I call this egg milk. In Guangdong, this can be regarded as a simple double-skin milk.
To eat something different today, we asked Gia to buy kelp.
We copied chicken wings and made a kelp mung bean syrup.
Eat sheep and chicken almost every day on the grassland? I haven't tried it, these are chicken wings specially bought from the county seat.
Kelp and mung bean syrup, Gia said that he didn't even know what kelp and mung bean syrup was. Probably only the Cantonese know this best. If you eat something that gets angry, of course you have to eat something that lowers the fire to adjust it.
Kneel down devoutly: Obo
In our spare time, we have fun on our own.
Under my nagging, Xiao Min finally accompanied me there. It is the little dot in the middle of the picture above (thousands of miles almost cloudless). We walked a long, long way to the neighbor's property.
This is called Aobao. Aobao is Mongolian, which means "heap", and it is also translated into "brain bag" and "Obo", which means wood, stone, and earth mound.
It is a "stone pile", "earth pile" or "wooden pile" piled up artificially. In the old days, they were all over Mongolia. They were mostly made of stones or sand, and they were also made of branches. Today, the number has been greatly reduced.
It was originally a sign of the road and realm that people piled stones on the vast grassland. Later, it gradually evolved into a symbol of offering sacrifices to mountain gods, road gods, praying for a good harvest, and family happiness and safety. There is also a saying that this place once had lamas and monks who stopped to read scriptures when they passed by, so it is very auspicious.
flock of sheep
We came across a flock, lots and lots of sheep...
Xiao Min is shepherding the sheep
Staying here is an afternoon, we brought water, tablecloths, mosquito spray, sunscreen, and then walked farther and farther.
I met a cute and silly sleeping sheep, haha, I almost caught it! !
waiting for sunset
No matter where you lie, it is home and a place you like. Close your eyes, the faint fragrance of green grass radiates out the moment you lie down, lingering around you.
Open your arms wantonly to embrace the whole sky.
There are a lot of sheep manure on the grass, one by one, but a lot of it is dry. Spread the tablecloth, lie on it, and look up at the blue sky and white clouds in the most comfortable position.
On the grassland, we found a small pond. The color of the pond is the silhouette of the sky, which has a special flavor.
Waiting for the sunset on the grass, however, has to pay a heavy price, that is, we are lying on the sheep droppings across the tablecloth and are bitten by many, many mosquitoes~~
Wait, wait, when you feel sleepy and want to sleep, a surprise will come~
The sunset is gorgeous
The beautiful and beautiful sunset, from being inconspicuous at the beginning, shocked the world at the end. This is the most beautiful sunset we have seen in Inner Mongolia from the beginning to the end, and it is the only time we have encountered it in more than a month.
I don't care about being bitten by mosquitoes, I keep staring at the sky, I can't bear to close my eyes for a moment, I sigh that there is such a beautiful scenery in this world, our luck is really overwhelming today! !
I regret that I was patronizing to watch, but I didn't take a time-lapse record.
That fiery red color lingers for a long time. My mood seems to be boiling with this piece of red...
Even after the rosy clouds, the scenery where the sun disappears but there is still a lingering light is amazingly beautiful. At this time, seize the opportunity and take a silhouette! !
Here, there is no one in sight for a hundred miles, so dance as much as you want, just dance as you want, just be happy.
Even after the sun goes down, there is still light in the sky.
At this time, we were bitten miserably, and hurried down the mountain to go home~
night on the prairie
stunned swallow
On the grassland, a new species of small animal or insect can be found every day. For example, tonight a swallow hit the glass and fainted on the ground.
Or when you're brushing your teeth, a frog jumps over your foot and swallows the toothpaste in your stomach.
Or, a big praying mantis who didn't know when it appeared was hanging on the door of the room, and when the door was opened, its eyes looked at each other.
"ah!!!!!!!!!!!"
"What the hell is this!!!!!!!!!"
"Where are so many weird things coming from!!!!!!"
During the day, I drove Gia to the county town to help us buy materials. Tonight, we will have barbecue.
BBQ under the stars
Prepare BBQ ingredients
Everyone helps prepare together and string together the materials bit by bit.
Gia was helping us light the stove.
The moon hangs high in the sky, and there is still light left in the sky. Peripheral vision lingers, the sky brightens.
While applying a mask, my sister came to cook mutton for us to eat. Don't give us a chance to do it at all, we just wait quietly to open our mouths.
The roast lamb is really fragrant, and it can be eaten with relish without seasoning.
"Mutton, lamb tendon, lamb haggis, lamb louvers, fish eggs, leeks, chicken wings, bacon skewers, ham, crab sticks... Huh!"
"Gia, where's my marshmallow?"
"What? Marshmallows? For what?"
"You haven't eaten cotton candy, have you? It's a pity, I wanted you to try it..."
"..."
Xiao Min brought two bottles of wine from Guangdong, this kid is really good at enjoying it. Haha, Giya has been coveting it for a long time, and finally she can take it out and drink it.
There must be a toast.
The temperature has been dropping, it's freezing cold, and a drink will warm you up. Go back to the house and put on another thick dress.
It's early morning now, the night is getting quieter, we've been chatting. Suddenly, feeling right behind him, "Yu Yu Yu Yu..." The sound of the horse neighing, followed by "Da Da Da..." The sound of the horse running, rang out. I was really startled. It turned out that the horse had gone home to drink water.
There was still heat in the stove, we stretched our hands over to keep warm, the moon was hanging high, very bright, and very big, as if we could touch it.
"Hiss—" We couldn't help breathing out, and even started to tremble a little.
What are we waiting for? Wait for the galaxy.
"Baa baa..." The flock of sheep not far away, the sheep have not been locked in the sheepfold today.
bright galaxy
"It's too cold! Go get a quilt!"
So we each wrapped up thick quilts and lay on the tiles of the yurts to watch the Milky Way.
"Where is the Milky Way? Where is it? You lied to me again?!" I thought Gia was joking.
"There, there! See that! It's shiny and whitish." He pointed to that far, far away place.
Suddenly, Xiaomin shouted excitedly, "Wow! I saw a shooting star!!!"
"Where? Where, where, did you make a wish?!" I was excited.
"Look, that's the Big Dipper." Gia said slowly.
"That's right! That's right! It's like a spoon! The one facing the top of the spoon is the North Star!" I was excited again. I remember reading a book explaining astrology before going to Tibet. All the stars I thought I could see in Tibet are here.
"The Big Dipper is a star in the constellation Ursa Major."
"See, like this, like this, connected together is Aquarius." Gia gestured to us with her hands.
"That, that's the morning star. See it?"
"Yo! The young man knows quite a lot."
In a month in Inner Mongolia, we saw shooting stars several times. I saw the Milky Way, I saw the big red moon, and I often saw the Big Dipper high above, twinkling and shining.
So in our free nights, we usually go to darker places to study constellations.
It is a pity that the most beautiful Milky Way and various galaxies can only be seen with eyes and cannot be recorded.
It was windy and cold at night, enough to see, we were finally going to sleep.
The good times are finally coming to an end, for the rest of your life, please continue to be so beautiful, so clean, and so pure.
So far, the next thing I want to talk about is entertainment.
