Chapter 172 - Wild Camel spotted heading north
Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Wild Camel spotted heading north
Indeed, there was one more camel.
Ning Fei and Ma Yao stared at the camel that had blended into the group of camels, their faces full of confusion.
This foreign camel looked at the two of them calmly, and even smacked its lips, not panicking at all.
“This is actually a wild Bactrian camel!”
Ning Fei confirmed it again and exclaimed.
“Currently, the number of wild Bactrian camels is very rare. In Asia, they only exist in Mongolia and the northwest of China.”
“There are a lot of domestic camels, but there are some biological differences in their species.”
Ma Yao’s face was full of surprise.
“No matter what it is, a camel that can be brought back to the tribe is a good camel.”
The rules here were somewhat different from the rules of the parallel world. The rule of the autonomous flag of the prairie here was that herdsmen could tame wild horses, camels, and other animals that were not a threat to humans.
Ning Fei also smiled. This trip had not been in vain. Not only had he let the camels out for the whole morning, he had also earned a camel.
“The camels must have come to this area to eat salt. The stones here are very salty, and the camels like to eat salt.”
“However, camels usually live in groups. If a camel comes over, it means…”
Ning Fei looked up and saw that this grassland was a stretch of rolling hills. They were at the bottom of the hill, and on the other side of the hill, there were two camels walking in their direction.
“Oh my God!”Seeing the camels, Ma Yao was pleasantly surprised.
“We’re rich this time!”
Ma Yao couldn’t wait to run over.
Ning Fei continued to say to the netizens, “In Mongolia, the status of camels is very high. The Mongols love camels very much, and there are even annual camel sacrifice activities.”
“If these wild camels follow the tribe, they will definitely be treated well by the people in the tribe.”
Ning Fei did not expect to encounter such a thing. He found it very interesting.
“They actually found wild camels!”The netizens were also surprised.
“The wild camels actually followed them on their own initiative.”
“This luck is really good!”
“The people in the tribe must be very happy.”
“This is equivalent to going out and picking up tens of thousands of yuan. It’s still legal. Who Can we argue with?”
“Do you think this has something to do with Abbey Dean Ning’s treasure hunting physique?”
“It’s possible! Abbey Dean Ning released the camels once when he came to the tribe, and a few of them followed him on their own initiative!”
Ning Fei also took some time to look at the bullet screen. He shook his head when he saw what everyone said.
“I was lucky. There is no such thing as a treasure hunting physique.”
“I just happened to come across this.”
However, everyone clearly did not believe what Ning Fei said and continued to discuss.
Not long after, Ning Fei saw Ma Yao stroking the camels on the slope. He was exceptionally excited.
Including the camels that had come down, there were a total of four wild camels.
These four camels were not afraid of humans and allowed Ma Yao to lead them down.
Ning Fei noticed that the three camels that had come down had many wounds on their bodies. It looked like they had been bitten by an animal.
The camels’ability to protect themselves was indeed poor. It was fortunate that they had survived.
Ma Yao also looked at the wild camels with a distressed expression and said, “We have to bring them back to the tribe and clean their wounds properly.”
“Okay, let’s go,”Ning Fei nodded and said.
The two of them rode the camels and walked behind them, driving the group of camels toward the tribe.
The few wild camels followed closely behind.
It was obvious that they wanted to join the group.
Camels were gregarious. A few camels living alone were doomed to perish. They were also willing to follow the group.
After returning to the tribe, the news that Ning Fei and Ma Yao had brought back four wild camels spread like the wind.
Then, to Ning Fei’s surprise, the entire tribe came over.
This included Ma Yao’s grandmother, a very kind and frail old lady. With the support of the people, she came to see the camels.
The people in the tribe were very excited.
The veterinarian in the tribe, Batu, was cleaning the wounds and examining the injuries of the wild camels. The other herdsmen found some fruits and weeds that the camels loved to eat. After soaking them in salt water, they fed the camels.
“Pass the message down. Tonight, we are celebrating the new members of the tribe, the camels. We are having a bonfire party.”
Ma Yao’s father, Ma Huayun, shouted loudly. Instantly, everyone cheered enthusiastically.
The atmosphere at the scene was very good.
The people here all respected the camels very much. They regarded the camels as auspicious and blessed spirit beasts. They believed that the camels would be able to bring them out of the difficult situation.
The tribe was beaming with joy. It was even happier than the New Year.
Ning Fei was also very moved when he saw this scene. Everyone really liked that group of animals. The people of the prairie respected and loved life, so they cheered.
“Another bonfire party…”Ning Fei smiled helplessly.
At noon, everyone ate some simple food and set up the rack of roasted whole sheep to prepare for the dinner party.
Ning Fei could not help much, so he walked out of the tribe and asked the Little Falcon to call black handsome over. He rode his horse alone to enjoy the scenery.
The direction he was looking at was toward the north.
Hulunbeir prairie was very large. It was very close to the north, and next to it was the Black Dragon River Province.
If he went further north, he would have to cross the border of China.
In fact, there was a region to the north where Hulunbuir was connected to Russia. The scenery and folk customs there were also very interesting.
They could see the fairy-tale-like russian-style small town, and the Russian uncles there all spoke a simple “Northeast dialect.”.
They could even go there directly and taste Russian delicacies, such as stewed mutton, blueberry jam, and so on.
“I’ll go take a look tomorrow, at that place.”
Ning Fei muttered to himself.
Before he came to the grasslands, he had already made plans for his trip.
He wanted to see cows and sheep, see Swans, ride horses…
The place he wanted to go the most was the northernmost part of the grasslands. In the great Xing ‘an mountains, Huaxia was even the only reindeer tribe in the world — the Ewenki tribe.
“Black Commander, come with me to the North Tomorrow,”Ning Fei said as he rode on black commander and stroked its mane.
Black commander gasped in agreement.
Then, when Ning Fei returned to the tribe and talked to Ma Yao about this matter, Ma Yao was very surprised.
“You’re going to the Ewenke Autonomous Flag? By Horse?”Ma Yao asked.
“Yes, it’s not far from here. It’s less than 200 kilometers away,”Ning Fei nodded and said.
“Do you need me to send you to the city? You can take a car there. There’s also a tourism development zone over there now. It’s very convenient to drive there,”Ma Yao asked again.
“No need. The tourism area is boring.”
“But there’s no one in the area along the way. We’re already considered the herdsmen closer to the center. If we head northeast, there will be very few people.”
Ma Yao was very concerned about Ning Fei and suggested.
Ning Fei shook his head and said, “Don’t worry. I’ve been to the Deep Mountains before. There won’t be any problems.”
Ning Fei didn’t plan to take a car. He knew that if he went that way, he would only be going to the city on the outskirts of Ewenke. At most, there would be a few scenic spots for tourists to visit and experience and hear a few unique stories.
He was going to the real reindeer tribe, the most mysterious tribe in China.
Seeing that he insisted, Ma Yao didn’t say anything else.
That night, it was another lively night. The herdsmen sang and danced around the Flames to celebrate a few wild camels joining the tribe.
This was a very rare situation. The herdsmen saw this as God’s blessing to the tribe.
Ning Fei also felt happy in the crowd.
…
The next day, Ning Fei left Little Fox, Little Dog, and Little Fei in the tribe.
It was too cold in the north, and the journey was bumpy. It might be dangerous, so it was not good to bring them along.
Especially Little Fei. Such a yellow chicken would definitely not survive in the wild.
“I’ll be back in a few days.”
This time, no matter how little fox acted coquettishly, Ning Fei firmly left it in the tribe.
“You’re a forest fox, not an Arctic fox. You’ll freeze to death there.”
Ning Fei hugged the little fox and said reluctantly.
It was early autumn now, and the weather was not too cold, so the few of them could still run outside.
Further north, the temperature dropped quite drastically, so they could not hold on much longer.
As for fierce birds like the little falcon and wild horses like the black commander, the change in temperature would not affect them too much.
“Let’s go.”
The three little ones stood at the entrance of the tribe to send Ning Fei off.
It would take them a few days to go.
Ning Fei brought all the outdoor exploration equipment and rode the black commander into the distance.
“200 kilometers. If we are fast, we should be able to reach it in a day.”
“There is no man’s land ahead because the grass in this area is sparse or there is a lack of water resources. It is not suitable for grazing.”
“A place like this might be a pleasant surprise.”
