Chapter 176: The Reindeer Tribe, the Elves of the Forest (1/2)
DouBird Live’s platform was very attentive.
Now that Ning Fei was already the face of DouBird Live, DouBird Live was again making a separate column for Ning Fei.
#NingGuanMaster’s journey to the DaxinganLing in search of the reindeer tribe.
The Reindeer Tribe, one of the most mysterious tribes in China.
What netizens saw when they opened the live stream was Ning Fei already riding Black Handsome and strolling through the forest.
“Viewers, we’ve reached the depths of the forest sea here.”
“This forest is worthy of being nature’s most magical treasure, containing a very large number of exotic beasts and rare wild fruits.”
Ning Fei walked along, occasionally explaining a few words to the netizens.
“We should be getting there soon.”
Ning Fei’s heart secretly thought.
“Now part of the Ewenki have ‘montaged’ and are closer to the Mongolian pastoralist lifestyle, having yurts on the outer grasslands, raising cattle and sheep, and building Ewenki cities.”
“There are very few true hunting nomads of the original Ewenki people anymore.”
Ning Fei walked forward, he was at the southern edge of the forest sea, and going south from this forest, he was back on the prairie, and could still see the Ewenki yurts and herders.
“Where could it be?”
Ning Fei walked slowly forward through the forest.
“Whoosh! Thump!”
Just then, there was a sudden startling sound in his ears, the sound of an arrow being shot and the hum of an arrow thrusting into a tree trunk!
“Over there!”
Hearing the sound, Ning Fei looked delighted and immediately rushed over on his Black Handsome.
When he walked over, what he saw was a hare with brown fur all over its body, already nailed to the trunk of a tree by an arrow.
“What a powerful arrow!”
After seeing the accuracy, Ning Fei exclaimed.
The netizens also sighed in admiration.
“A master! One arrow from such a distance hit the hare.”
“The hare is very alert, only an experienced hunter can do this.”
“Not bad for a hunting nation.”
“Would like to see what it’s like in real life.”
As the netizens were talking, the hunter who shot the arrow finally showed himself.
Only a man wearing a broad coat with sloping lapels unique to herders and a black conical leather hat emerged from the depths of the woods in the live footage.
He also had a shotgun hanging from his waist.
The man looked to be in his forties or fifties, his face was weathered and there was a scar on the side of his face, looking very wild.
When he saw Ning Fei, his face changed slightly, and he immediately walked over to the hare, pulled the arrow off, and then put the hare directly into the leather pouch hanging on his waist.
“Who are you?” The hunter asked, speaking a less-than-fluent Chinese language with a thick accent.
The Ewenki have a special Ewenki language, though most people now speak some Chinese as well.
“Hello, I’ve come from the grasslands.” Ning Fei said as he got off of Black Handsome.
“Be careful out here, we’re hunting, we might hurt you.” The hunter simply said so.
He looked at Black Handsome and a touch of envy surged up in his expression.
The primitive Ewenki were nomadic hunting tribes who domesticated reindeer and used them as companions and totems. So there was a deep affection for animals that could be tamed by humans.
“Good.” Ning Fei responded gently. “Excuse me, are you from the Ewenki tribe? Is it okay if I want to buy some hare meat?”
“Buy rabbit meat?” The hunter was slightly puzzled.
You should know that the traditional Ewenki people still live a nomadic and hunting life though. It does not mean that they are isolated from the world. There is just as much intercourse with human society.
Naturally, they also need money to improve their lives somehow.
“Well, buy rabbit meat? There are other beast meat as well.” Ning Fei nodded and said again.
What Ning Fei chose to do was a very clever approach.
If Ning Fei had said: “I’m here to see the reindeer in the Ewenki tribe.” Maybe the other party wouldn’t even have bothered with him. It was not even certain that he would be kicked out.
But it was different now.
“You come with me.” The hunter said, and led Ning Fei deeper into the dense forest.
When the netizens saw this scene, someone said.
“Master Ning Guan is very emotional, so he can easily walk into the Ewenki tribe.”
“Socialising with people is a learned skill.”
“Yeah? If Ning Guan wants to eat rabbit meat, it’s not enough to hunt by yourself. Ning Guan’s arrow skills are not bad.”
“O Ewoki tribe, what will it be like?”
“Again, looking forward to it!”
“It’s one of the most mysterious tribes in China!”
Everyone was chatting excitedly.
Ning Fei took the opportunity to explain to the drone again.
“The Ewenki are the only people in China who are allowed to hunt wild animals with hunting guns in their hands and it’s legal.”
