Chapter 172: Wild camels found, heading north (2/2)
At noon, everyone simply ate some food and set up a grill for a whole sheep to prepare for dinner.
Ning Fei couldn’t help much, so he walked out of the tribe, asked Little Falcon to call Black Handsome over, and rode off alone to see the scenery.
The direction he looked was towards the north.
The Hulunbeier Steppe was very large, and this was already very close to the north, next to the Heilonghe Province.
If you go further go to the north, you will have to cross the national boundary of China.
In fact, there is an area to the north where Hulunbeier borders Russia, and the landscape and folklore there are interesting.
You can see the Russian-style town like a fairy tale, and the Russian uncles there speak a simple “Northeast dialect”.
You can even go straight there and try Russian food, such as lamb stew and blueberry sauce.
“Let’s go and see that place tomorrow.”
Ning Fei muttered in his mind.
He had already made plans for his trip before he came to the grasslands.
Seeing cows and sheep, watching swans, riding horses……
The place he wanted to visit the most was the northernmost part of the grassland, in the Great Xing’an Mountains, the only reindeer tribe in China and even the world – the Ewenki tribe.
“Black Handsome, accompany me to the north side tomorrow.” Ning Fei said as he rode Black Handsome and stroked its mane.
Black Handsome gave a gasp of agreement.
And then, when Ning Fei returned to the tribe and talked to Ma Yao about it, Ma Yao was very surprised.
“You’re going to Ewenki Autonomous Banner on horseback?” Ma Yao asked.
“Well, it’s not far from here, less than 200 kilometres, I think.” Ning Fei nodded and said.
“Do you need me to drive you to the city and you can take a car there, there’s a tourist development zone on that side too now, so it’s easy to drive there.” Ma Yao asked again.
“No, there’s no point in a tourist area.”
“But it’s all no man’s land all the way there, we’re already considered to be more of a herder by the mile, there will be very few people further north east.”
Ma Yao was concerned about Ning Fei and suggested.
However, Ning Fei shook his head and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve been to all the deep mountains, there’s nothing wrong with that.”
Ning Fei did not intend to go by car, he knew that going there that way would only take him to the outer cities of Ewenki, with at most a few attractions for tourists to visit and experience, and hear a few characteristic stories.
What he wanted to go to was the real reindeer tribe, the most mysterious tribe in China.
Seeing his insistence, Ma Yao could not say anything more.
That night, another lively night, the herdsmen sang and danced around the flames to celebrate the joining of a few wild camels to the tribe.
This was a very rare occurrence and the herders saw the event as a blessing from the heavens for the tribe.
Ning Fei was among the crowd and felt its joy.
…….
The next day, Ning Fei left Little Fox, Little Dog and Little Fei all in the tribe.
It was too cold in the north, and the journey was bumpy and potentially dangerous, so it really wasn’t a good idea to take them with him.
Especially Little Fei, such a little yellow chicken would definitely not survive if left in the wild.
“I’ll go for a few days and then come back.”
This time, no matter how pampered the little fox was, Ning Fei firmly left it with the tribe.
“You’re a forest fox, not an Arctic fox, you’ll freeze to death there.”
Ning Fei said reluctantly as he hugged the little fox.
It was early autumn and the weather wasn’t too cold yet, so these guys were all still able to run around outside.
The temperature dropped more in further north, and they wouldn’t be able to hold out.
Whereas a raptor like the little falcon, and a more fit wild horse like Black Handsome, the change in temperature wouldn’t affect Further north, them too much.
“Let’s go.”
The three little ones stood at the entrance of the tribe, seeing Ning Fei off.
It was not clear how many days this trip would take.
With his complete outdoor adventure equipment, Ning Fei rode Black Handsome and raced off into the distance.
“200 kilometres, if we’re quick, we should be able to get there in a day.”
“There’s no man’s land ahead, as the grass in this area is sparse, or lacks water resources, and isn’t suitable for grazing.”
“A place like this might be a bit of a surprise.”
