Chapter 291 Learning to ride a horse
Every person who goes to herd has a horse.
Feng Tingxuan and the others are no exception.
This is what shepherds must learn.
Because there are so many sheep, it is impossible to catch up with them just by relying on your legs.
Feng Tingxuan didn't know how to ride a horse when he first started, but now he is very proficient.
“Can you ride a horse?”
Lin Zhen can undoubtedly ride a horse, and his riding movements are even very handsome.
It was taught by the cavalry battalion.
Song Wei doesn't know how to do it, but after watching Lin Zhen's movements, she can get on the horse, but she can't ride it yet.
Lin Zhen didn't want to delay the herdsmen, so he let them go first and taught Song Wei himself.
"Then you have to hurry up. The grassland is very big and it's easy to lose your way. You won't be able to find us by then."
Lin Zhen said he knew: "You can't learn from me in an hour. Just take her there.”
The sheep and cattle set off, and Lin Zhen took Song Wei to an open area to learn horseback riding.
The most important thing when learning to ride a horse is to be brave.
Song Wei has never lost on this point.
So it was much faster than expected, and Song Wei dared to ride a horse and run in half an hour.
The riding style is very wild, even wilder than the local herdsmen.
Lin Zhen was afraid that she would fall, but he also knew that even if she fell, she would definitely be fine.
Song Wei likes the feeling of running against the wind on horseback.
"Lin Zhen, let's go."
Her voice carried along the wind and reached Lin Zhen's ears.
The man spurred his horse and chased after him: "Okay!"
Two big brown horses walked side by side, looking heroic.
The little boss was hung in a cloth bag on Lin Zhen's chest. He was not afraid at all of the horse's running speed, but instead let out a howl of excitement.
If it weren't for being too small and its short legs couldn't keep up with the speed of the horse, it would have been able to run along with it excitedly on the ground.
The grassland is the home field of the shepherd dog, and it likes it here.
The sheep were not walking very fast, and Lin Zhen and Song Wei quickly caught up with them.
Everyone was surprised for a while when they saw Lin Zhen and Song Wei coming on horseback.
Yu Wei gave them a thumbs up: "You guys are really good."
Although Song Wei looks delicate and frail on the outside, the way she rides her horse is as generous and handsome as the women here.
This is very popular with the herdsmen here.
After everyone greeted each other, they drove the cattle and sheep to a place with rich pasture, and everyone's speed became even slower.
Now it’s just a matter of controlling the direction in which the cattle and sheep walk while grazing, and not letting some cattle and sheep fall behind.
Lin Zhen released the little boss who had been struggling to think about it for a long time.
The puppy started running on the grassland as soon as it landed.
It runs with the sheep without any instruction. When it encounters a sheep that is heading in the wrong direction, it rushes up and howls, wagging its tail in an attempt to drive back the sheep that are much larger than itself.
The sheep is not afraid of it at all.
But the little boss didn't give up, so he surrounded the sheep. Perhaps the sheep got tired of barking, and it actually ran back to the flock.
Some sheep got impatient and plowed their hooves, lowering their heads and bumping into the little boss.
Although the little boss is chubby, his short legs are flexible and he can easily dodge and continue to face the difficulties without fear of powerful enemies.
"Little boss, there is a lamb over there that has fallen behind."
Song Wei was riding on a high horse and pointed at a certain lamb that had fallen behind because it was too focused on eating grass.
The little boss looked in the direction Song Wei pointed and immediately ran over to the little lamb on his short legs.
“Woof woof woof!” The little lamb was obviously easier to drive away because it was not much bigger than it.
Because Yu Wei had heard Lin Zhen and Song Wei talk about shepherd dogs before, he observed them carefully today and found that the little pup was really suitable for this job.
Seeing the chubby little guy looking for straggler sheep to chase away without feeling tired at all made him feel itchy.
“This little pup is really good.”
“Yes, monitor, if you like it, you can go back and raise the pup after the little boss grows up and has pups.”< br>
Yu Wei laughed loudly: "Then the relationship is good, I will wait for the little boss's cub."
The performance of the little boss was also noticed by other herdsmen, but few of them would say standards In Mandarin, he couldn't communicate with Lin Zhen and the others.
When Yu Wei passed by, they grabbed Yu Wei and asked questions.
Yu Wei looked proud: "That's a kind of shepherd dog brought to me by my comrades in arms, specifically to help with herding."
If I had said it before, the herdsmen might not have believed it. , but now after seeing the performance of the little boss, they are a little convinced.
This little puppy knows how to drive away stray sheep at such a young age, and he might even be able to help herd them when he grows up.
But it’s not too surprising. After all, the dogs they raise are not bad. Some dogs can also drive sheep and help warn of dangers from the grassland.
As we walked, the sheep were dispersed and managed.
As before, Feng Tingxuan was assigned some cattle and sheep to graze further away.
The goal of gathering sheep together is too great. If the sheep are spread out, they will be fuller and better managed.
Song Wei and Lin Zhen followed Feng Tingxuan with their little boss and a camera hanging around their necks.
When I left, I shouted to Yu Wei: "Uncle Yu, we followed this comrade over there. The scenery there looks good."
We all know them. No one doubted what they were here for.
The grassland is very big. If you go far away, you won’t be able to see other people, let alone hear them talking.
The three horses advanced together, and Feng Tingxuan also relaxed visibly.
"Uncle, the little boss is the shepherd dog we brought to you. If you train him well, he will definitely become your best helper in the future, so it is up to you to call him and interact with him later."
Song Wei throws him a pack of dried meat.
“This is the snack we made for the little boss. When you interact with it, just feed it appropriately as a reward.”
The little boss is still very young now, so it’s hard to get along with them. It didn’t take long, and it would be easier to find another person to raise.
Feng Tingxuan was really touched. He didn't expect his niece to think so much about him.
"Okay, thank you."
He didn't know what to say, so he could only say thank you.
Song smiled and said: "Thank you, we are a family."
It would be much easier for the three of us to look at a group of sheep.
Although it was the first time for Lin Zhen and Song Wei to herd cattle, their observation skills were still very fast.
Feng Tingxuan started to think of ways to get along with the little boss as Song Wei said.
With snacks for the little boss hanging on his waist, he got off his horse and looked at the sheep with the little boss.
When he sees the little boss driving away a lone sheep, he will step forward to feed it a piece of dried meat and pat its head as a reward.
"Good job, little boss."
The little boss tilted his head and looked at the person in front of him. He had smelled this smell yesterday, but he didn't dislike it at all.
"Little boss, come here."
"Little boss."
The little boss is constantly getting familiar with his voice, and gets fed after successfully doing something right, and then gradually He also cooperated with Feng Tingxuan tacitly.
It’s just that it’s too small, and I’m exhausted after running for so long.
Feng Tingxuan picked up the little guy who was so tired that he was lying on the ground sticking out his tongue.
"Let's rest for a while."
He also poured water for it to drink from an earthenware bowl gently.
