"See! This is the consequence of gaining weight." "Back then, Da Huang was our fierce wolf king." "Now? I've turned into a dog that loves to eat egg yolk pie!" "Well, how can this not be considered a kind of transformation?" "What a mockery upstairs!" When Erha saw that Dahuang and the others were resting, he also lay down. And he was lying on top of Chen Chuan's head. In this way, the three dogs surrounded Chen Chuan tightly. Taxue was eating grass quietly not far away. Occasionally, he would raise his head, look into the distance and chew.
After lying down for a while, Erha felt bored. It is full of energy, and it is very good that it can lie with them for such a long time. So, Erha stood up again. Just at this moment, a few sheep ran past quickly in front. Behind those sheep, there was a shepherd chasing them. When Erha saw this, his shepherd dog characteristics came out. It spread its legs and ran towards the sheep. The sheep ran very fast and the shepherd couldn't catch up after trying for a long time. But for Erha, this is no problem at all. It ran ahead of the flock with almost no effort. The sheep were already a little scared. At this time, he saw a huge sheepdog and became even more panicked. I subconsciously turned around and ran back. Behind them are the shepherds. There is nowhere for them to escape. "Wang Wang!" Erha barked twice at the flock of sheep. This is what it learned specifically when it followed Chen's father to herd sheep at home. The sheep can understand.
It means to keep them quiet. Sure enough, after the Husky barked twice. The flocks gradually calmed down. The shepherd soon caught up and drove the sheep together. Then let them graze quietly on the grass. "Brother, is this your sheepdog?" The shepherd looked at Erha with surprise and asked Chen Chuan who was not far away. Chen Chuan nodded, "It's mine!" Erha is a professional shepherd dog and is very strong. "It's too good! My sheepdog hasn't learned anything after a long time of trying to teach it, and it's really worrying me!" The shepherd walked up to Chen Chuan and saw two wolves lying next to him. He looked shocked. "Brother, you, these two things beside you, are they dogs?" Shepherds work on the grasslands all year round and can distinguish between wolves and dogs. Chen Chuan nodded. “Not a dog!” "Oh my god, this is the first time I've seen a wolf that looks like a jar!" The shepherd looked surprised. "Besides, how do they manage to be so fearless of humans?" When he came over just now, the two wolves just looked up at him. Then there is no more. Even when he sat down, they ignored him. If he didn't know the wolf, he would have been suspicious. Did I make a mistake? "I was away from home for a while, and they fed themselves like this." “I’m losing weight now!” Chen Chuan said helplessly. "Ouch!"
Dahuang raised his head and let out a roar. Over there, the flock of sheep heard the wolf howling and suddenly became panicked again. The subconscious instinct is to run. The shepherd was about to stand up and go to comfort him. The Husky over there started moving. It ran to the flock and called out soothingly. Sure enough, when the sheep saw the Husky, they were not afraid anymore. He lowered his head and started eating grass obediently. This scene shocked not only the shepherds but also the netizens. “Is this the deterrent power of a sheepdog?” "I feel that Erha is so awesome. It feels a bit unfair to it to follow the anchor on patrol every day!" "That's right, Erha is so powerful, he should be made a sheepdog." "Come on, upstairs, the Husky is happy to follow the anchor!" "That's right, Erha is also very happy to follow the anchor every day!" The netizens argued for a while, but they didn't end up quarreling. The shepherds were also surprised. "You, a sheepdog, don't look simple!" "Does it have cubs? Can I buy one and keep it as a pet?" He was really moved. Such an excellent shepherd dog will surely give birth to excellent puppies as well. Hearing this, Chen Chuan froze for a moment. What a cub, Erha is still a single dog just like him! "No, it's still single!" Chen Chuan shook his head. "Haha, single guy!" "That's a bit too much upstairs!" "I was scolded for no reason. Who did I offend?" "That's right, if you scold them, you can't scold me anymore!" The shepherd was a little disappointed to hear that he was still single.
But he quickly changed the subject. The two sat on the grass and chatted briefly. When he saw that the sheep were full, he drove them away. The flock of sheep left, and Erha returned to Chen Chuan. When seeing Erha, Chen Chuan couldn't help but think of the phrase "single dog" in his mind. He barked at Erha. Erha raised his head and looked at him in confusion. "Wang?" "Nothing, let's go, it's time for us to go back!" The sun was setting. The red sunset filled half the sky. Chen Chuan was holding Taxue, with three dogs following on his left, and they walked up the mountain together. As time passed, the figures became more and more blurred. But looking at it, there is an inexplicable sense of mystery. …… After returning home, Chen Chuan took a quick shower and went back to rest. The next day, Aiguli called early in the morning. "Hey, Chen Chuan!" Ayiguli's voice was full of excitement. "what happened?" Chen Chuan's face was full of fatigue. He also stayed up late last night to sort out the list of winners. Didn't go to bed until the early hours of the morning. It’s just past seven o’clock now, and I’m feeling sleepy! Hearing the sleepiness in his voice, Ayiguli asked in confusion. "You stayed up late?" "Hmm~" "What are you doing staying up late?" She remembered this guy, since he came back, he went to bed after eight o'clock.
It's rare to see him staying up late. "I just sorted out the delivery orders." After talking for a while, Chen Chuan was completely sober. "What's wrong? You called me so early in the morning, don't tell me you just wanted to chat with me!" Doesn’t he know Ayiguli yet? I never come here for no reason. And her voice just now was so excited. Could it be that something good happened? "The city is preparing for a sheep-eating competition. Do you want to participate?" Ayiguli asked. "Sheep-teasing competition?" Chen Chuan was a little surprised. "There are still such competitions in this era?" Sheep-stealing competition is a traditional event in Altay. But it hasn't been opened for many years. Even he had only been there once when he was a child with his parents, and he still remembers the scene vividly. "Oh, it has indeed been many years since it was opened." “Not many young people today have ever heard of a competition!” Ayiguli also said with some emotion. "Then why reopen it now?" This is what Chen Chuan is curious about. "Come to think of it, I have you to thank for this~" Aiguli said with a smile, "Thank me? I didn't do anything!" This made Chen Chuan even more curious. "Yes! Because your live broadcast became popular and boosted the local tourism industry." "Now in Altay, many tourists come to visit every month." "The authorities want to retain these tourists and give them a good impression."
"We also put a lot of thought into promoting many of our traditional festivals." "This is how the sheep-picking competition will be held!" "I heard that this time, the higher-ups put a lot of effort into it." “Even the competition venue has been expanded a lot, and a special stand has been built.” Ayiguli explained. After hearing this, Chen Chuan had nothing more to say. "How about it? Do you want to join?" "If you want, I can help you sign up!" "Of course, we'll compete against each other then!" Chen Chuan agreed immediately. He just watched the sheep-catching competition. This time you can, give it a try. Aiguli was also very happy to hear that Chen Chuan was going to participate. "Okay, I'll help you sign up." After saying that, Aiguli hung up the phone. In the live broadcast room, netizens were already confused when they heard Chen Chuan's words. Seeing it hung up the phone, I asked quickly. "What is Tiaoyang? Why is there a competition?" "Yeah! What kind of competition is this? I don't think I've ever heard of it." "Hurry up and explain it to us!" Seeing the barrage, Chen Chuan explained with a smile. "The sheep-stealing competition is a traditional competition of our Kazakh ethnic group." "It is usually only used in life ceremonies such as weddings and circumcisions," “Or it may be held during traditional festivals such as Eid al-Fitr and Nowruz.” "Sometimes, it is held during the slack season for farming or herding." "It is a traditional sport of our nation." After listening, netizens are still confused. "Isn't that right? I am also a Kazakh, but I have never heard of such an activity."
“This kind of event has been cancelled for decades, so it’s normal that many people haven’t heard of it.” A local netizen explained. “The event can be large or small, with dozens to hundreds of participants.” “The activity venue is usually in a pasture or an open field.” "The organizer will bring a prepared sheep and throw it into the arena." "Then it's up to the contestants to try and the one who catches the sheep is the winner." "There are still many proverbs about this sport among our people." "For example: 'Wrestling requires strength, and sheep-catching requires morale,'" "'The eagle must spread its wings and fly in the sky, and the young man must show his bravery and strength in the sheep field', etc." "It is also known as the 'Sport of the Brave on the Prairie.' Chen Chuan explained a lot. Netizens gradually understood what was said. "I see!" "It sounds like this sport is quite interesting!" "With so many people participating, won't it be dangerous?" "Of course it's dangerous. All contestants have to ride horses." "At the speed of a horse race, if you fall down accidentally, you will either break a leg or an arm." "In severe cases, it may even lead to death!" A knowledgeable local explained. "Otherwise, how can we call it a sport for brave men?" "Oh my god, that sounds scary!" “It’s definitely scary, but also very exciting!” “Just watching it live can give you an adrenaline rush.” "Moreover, those who can sign up for this kind of competition are generally experienced on horseback." “When they sign up, they also sign a waiver.” "Come on, host! With the tacit understanding between you and Taxue, we will definitely be able to grab the sheep and win the championship!" "Come on anchor!" "come on!"
Netizens have begun to encourage Chen Chuan. "Then I'll borrow your good words!" Chen Chuan said with a smile. In fact, for him, it doesn’t matter whether he wins the championship or not. For activities like this, the main thing is participation. Many Kazakhs would come and experience it when they were young. Naturally, Chen Chuan also wanted to experience this feeling. He came to the stable and told Taxue about the event he was going to attend. When Taxue heard this, he was obviously very excited. Even Xiaobai next to him jumped up with excitement. "Ee-er! Ee-er!" We will definitely win the championship! Taxue shouted excitedly. Chen Chuan reached out and touched its head. "Of course!" "Let's go, we'll set off now!" Chen Chuan opened the door of the stable and let it out. Then he rode it and walked outside. Along the way, we were very excited to walk on the snow. As a wild horse, it really enjoys this extreme sport. Especially when there is 100% tacit understanding with Chen Chuan. Thinking back to the horse racing competition they had attended together before. It was already so excited. We rode on the snow for two hours. They finally entered the city. Chen Chuan got off the horse and walked inside leading Taxue. Because of today's race, there are a lot of people in the city leading horses. There are even quite a few teams that are all wearing the same uniform, and you can tell at first glance that they are from the same team.
"Wow! It's really lively here! I really want to go and see it!" Netizens were envious when they saw such excitement. There were also anchors introducing this sheep-catching competition to netizens. On the streets, you can even see netizens with hot bodies dancing the edge dance. “It can be seen that Altay is really popular now!” Chen Chuan couldn't help but sigh. There were also a lot of people at last year's horse racing. But it was not as exaggerated as this year. There are not only local people, but also many foreign tourists, anchors and so on. "Chen Chuan! I'm here!" At this time, Aiguli's voice came from the other side. Chen Chuan looked up and saw Aiguli leading the horse and waving at him. He immediately took Taxue's hand and walked over there. "Did you just arrive too?" Walking to Aiguli, Chen Chuan asked in confusion. "No, I was afraid you wouldn't be able to find the way, so I came out to pick you up!" Ayiguli curled her lips. Then he led his horse in front of Chen Chuan as if to show off. "See? I've been working hard with my horse to get him ready for this race." "With it this time, I will definitely win the championship." "Then I'll treat you to roast lamb!" Ayiguli said excitedly, as if she had already seen the scene of them winning the championship. Seeing this, Chen Chuan smiled helplessly. "Please, whether you win the championship or not, I will treat you to roast lamb!" "That won't do! If we said we'd win the championship, we must win it!" Ayiguli insisted. However, when netizens heard that Aiguli was also going to participate in the competition. They were all shocked.
"No, host, is it necessary for a girl like Ayiguli to participate in such a dangerous sport?" "Yes! This sport is very dangerous, let's just give it up, shall we?" (End of this chapter)
