Chapter 291 Learning to Ride a Horse
Everyone who went to graze had a horse.
Feng Tingxuan and his friends are no exception.
This is what shepherds must learn.
Because there were so many sheep in the flock, it was impossible to catch up with them just by walking.
Feng Tingxuan didn't know how to ride a horse at the beginning, but now he has become very skilled.
"Can you ride a horse?"
There is no doubt that Lin Zhen can ride a horse, and his riding movements are even very handsome.
It was taught by the cavalry battalion.
Song Wei didn't know how to do it, but after watching Lin Zhen do it, she also learned how to get on a horse, but she didn't know how to 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. The grassland is huge and it's easy to get lost. You won't be able to find us then."
Lin Zhen said he knew: "If she can't learn it within an hour, I will take her there."
The herds of sheep and cattle set off, and Lin Zhen took Song Wei to an open area to learn how to ride a horse.
The most important thing in learning horse riding is to be brave.
Song Wei has never lost in this regard.
So it was much faster than expected, and Song Wei dared to ride the horse in half an hour.
The riding style is very wild, even wilder than that of the local herdsmen.
Lin Zhen was afraid that she would fall, but he also knew that even if she fell, she would be fine.
Song Wei likes the feeling of running against the wind on horseback.
"Lin Zhen, let's go."
Her voice was carried into Lin Zhen's ears by the wind.
The man spurred his horse and chased after him: "Okay!"
Two big brown horses walked side by side, looking very heroic.
The little boss was hung in a cloth bag on Lin Zhen’s chest. He was not afraid of the horse’s running speed at all. Instead, he let out excited howls.
If it weren't so small, its short legs wouldn't be able to keep up with the horse's speed, and it would be able to run excitedly on the ground.
The grassland is the sheepdog’s home ground, and it loves it here.
The flock of sheep was not walking very fast, and Lin Zhen and Song Wei quickly caught up with them.
Everyone was surprised to see Lin Zhen and Song Wei riding over on horseback.
Yu Wei gave them a thumbs up and said, "You guys are awesome."
Although Song Wei looks delicate and weak, she rides a horse as handsome and generously as the women here.
This has won the favor of the herdsmen here.
After greeting each other, everyone drove the cattle and sheep to a place with lush grass and slowed down their pace.
Now all we have to do is control the direction in which the cattle and sheep walk when they are grazing, and make sure that some of them do not fall behind.
Lin Zhen released the little boss who had been struggling to get off.
As soon as the puppy landed, it started running on the grassland.
It followed the flock of sheep without any instruction. When it saw sheep running in the wrong direction, it would rush forward and yell, wagging its tail to try to drive back the sheep that were much bigger than it.
The sheep was not afraid of it at all.
But the little boss didn't give up and kept circling the sheep. Maybe the sheep was annoyed by his calls, so he actually ran back to the flock.
Some sheep became impatient and dug their hooves, lowered their heads and charged towards the little boss.
Although the little boss looks chubby, his short legs are very agile. He can easily dodge and continue to face challenges without fear of strong enemies.
"Little boss, there's a lamb that's fallen behind over there."
Song Wei was riding on a tall horse, pointing at a 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 to the lamb on his short legs.
“Woof woof woof!”
The lambs were obviously easier to drive because they were not much bigger than it.
Yu Wei had heard about sheepdogs from Lin Zhen and Song Wei before, so he observed them carefully today and found that the puppy was really suitable for this job.
Seeing the chubby little fellow looking for the stragglers and driving them away without feeling tired at all, he felt itchy.
"This puppy is really good."
"Yeah, squad leader, if you like, you can take the puppy back to raise after the little boss grows up and has puppies."
Yu Wei laughed out loud: "That's great, I'll be waiting for the little boss's cub."
The performance of the little boss was also noticed by other herdsmen, but few of them could speak standard Mandarin and could not communicate with Lin Zhen and others.
After the aftereffects had passed, they grabbed the remaining power and asked it all sorts of questions.
Yu Wei said proudly: "That is a kind of sheepdog that my comrade brought me, specially for herding."
If it had been said before, the herdsmen might not have believed it, but now after seeing the performance of the little boss, they are beginning to believe it.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This little puppy knows how to drive away lone sheep at such a young age. Maybe he can help with herding when he grows up.
But it's not that rare. After all, the dogs they raise are not bad. Some dogs can drive away sheep and help guard against dangers on the grassland.
As time went by, the flock of sheep was managed separately.
As in the past, Feng Tingxuan was assigned some cattle and sheep to graze in a more distant place.
If the sheep gather together, they will be too large to be seen. If they are dispersed, they can eat more and be easier to manage.
Song Wei and Lin Zhen brought the little boss, cameras hanging around their necks, and followed Feng Tingxuan naturally.
When he left, he shouted to Yu Wei, "Uncle Yu, let's follow this comrade over there. The scenery over there looks nice."
Everyone knew what they were here for, and no one suspected them.
The grassland is very large, and if you walk far away you can’t see other people, let alone hear them talking.
The three horses galloped forward in unison, and Feng Tingxuan visibly relaxed.
"Uncle, Little Boss is the sheepdog we brought for you. If you teach him well, he will definitely become your best helper in the future. So you will be the one to call him and interact with him from now on."
Song Wei threw him a bag of dried meat.
"This is the snack we made for Little Boss. Just feed it appropriately as a reward when you interact with it."
The little one is still very young and hasn’t had much time with them, so it would be easier to let someone else take care of her.
Feng Tingxuan was really touched. He didn't expect that his niece would consider so much for him.
"Okay, thank you."
He didn't know what to say, so he could only say thank you.
Song smiled and said, "Why thank you? We are a family."
It would be much easier for three people to look after a flock of sheep.
Although it was the first time for Lin Zhen and Song Wei to herd sheep, their observation skills were still as good as their running speed on horseback.
Feng Tingxuan started to find ways to get along with the little boss as Song Wei said.
With snacks for the little boss hanging around his waist, he dismounted and watched the flock with the little boss.
When he sees the little boss driving away a lone sheep, he will go up to it, feed it a piece of dried meat, and reward it by touching its head.
"Good job, little boss."
The little boss tilted his head and looked at the person in front of him. He had smelled this scent yesterday and it wasn't unpleasant.
"Little Boss, come this way."
"Little Boss."
The little boss became more and more familiar with his voice, and was fed after successfully doing something, and then gradually he and Feng Tingxuan began to cooperate tacitly.
But it's too small after all, and I'm tired after running for so long.
Feng Tingxuan picked up the little guy who was lying on the ground tired and sticking out his tongue.
"Take a break."
He even gently poured water for it to drink from a clay bowl.
