Chapter 230 Big Green Horse
Chile River, under Yinshan;
The sky is like a dome, covering all fields;
The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast;
Cattle and sheep will be seen when the wind blows the grass.
It was early spring at this time. Although I could not see the scene depicted by Chilege, the crisp tender grass buds that had just emerged on the grassland, the clear sky and winding mountains, still made Xu Lingjun feel a rough and vast beauty.
He stood at the door, withdrew his gaze looking into the distance, and began to look around.
Now he lives in a small hillside next to the stable, and the house is a simple mud house built after he was taken in by the herdsmen of the ranch.
Originally, when he was in labor education, he lived directly in the stable.
At that time, let alone the house, it would be good to have a bite of it.
The mud house is about twenty square meters in size, which is a little more abundant than when he was in the Sihe Courtyard. The roof is thatched and it is easy to leak on rainy days.
Moreover, the four walls are not decorated at all, and the soil is exposed, full of primitive and simple atmosphere.
The most prominent one is probably the antique wooden window next to the door.
In addition, in a simple yard surrounded by some rotten wood, some adobe left over from the house they had built before were piled up.
In addition, the yard is filled with some horse-stacking tools, as well as some firewood and debris, which looks extremely dilapidated.
This is simply a typical family slap!
He sighed inwardly, then looked to the left of the yard, and what caught his eye was a long row of stables.
The main body of the stable is an eighty-centimeter earth wall, and many large pieces of wood support the thatched roof, and there is a row of mangers in front, which is somewhat similar to the pigpen in his previous life.
It’s just that the mangers in the stables are filled with fodder, while the troughs in the pigpens are filled with pig food.
His most important job is to feed the horses regularly every day.
Basically, every household in the ranch is responsible for grazing and feeding a group of horses, which is a work indicator, and each has a row of stables.
The number of horses is distributed according to the labor force of each household.
If he remembered correctly, he now has 18 horses in his name, all of which are locked in the stables.
At this time, he was going to drive these horses to the Qilian Mountains to grazle.
According to past experience, it usually takes ten days and half a month to go there once. Sometimes it is possible to stay in the mountain for a while if you encounter a bad grass.
However, he had just seen a layer of tender yellow and green grass buds appear on the grassland in the distance. I guess this time it only takes about ten days to go up the mountain.
Looking further to the left from the stable, you will see rows of stone tiled houses.
These houses were built with blue bricks, stones, gray tiles, wood, mud and sand. Although they were not very good, compared to his mud house, they were simply a world and were completely incomparable.
There is no way, he is the one who made a mistake. It is impossible for him to have a house that shelters from the wind and rain like other herders. It is considered that the herders treat him very well.
After reading the surrounding environment, he carefully compared it with the memory of his predecessor. Just when he wanted to pick up the grazing tools to go out to the stable to release the horse, he suddenly realized that he could not release the horse yet?
Although he has memories of his predecessor, he is not his predecessor after all. Just like watching the online teaching videos in his previous life, it is one thing to understand, and it is another thing to learn.
Fortunately, he was prepared when he was in Siheyuan and bought 50,000 more Happy Coins, otherwise, he would have to reveal his feelings.
He quickly opened the system magic store and used the search function to find the Grandmaster-level grooming skill card.
Then, he spent a happy coin and a moment, and soon transformed himself into a glorious grandmaster-level horseman.
Then, he skillfully picked up all kinds of horse-laying equipment, briefly trimmed it, and then walked towards the stables with great strides.
In pastoral areas, it is not to say that dozens or hundreds of horses can be called horse herds by driving together.
Strictly speaking, the real horse herd should be a "family" composed of a stallion and its wives, concubines and children.
Usually in pastoral areas, a large horse herd consists of hundreds of horses, which are composed of many stallions in units of "family".
As a stallion, it can not only have many wives and concubines, but also have many children.
Moreover, it takes very strict care of the horses in its own herd and will never allow them to run to other herds.
If the horses in other herds run into their herds, they will kick and bite the horses in other herds and drive them out.
So, in fact, stallions are the natural herds of horses. As long as the stallions are still alive, there will be no shortage of horses in their herd.
Because stallions have the ability to grazle their own horses by themselves, there is generally no need for horse wranglers to follow behind the horses to release horses all day long.
The Wrangler only needs to ride his horse to the horse herd every morning, drive the stallion shelters that are too scattered together, and then ride his horse home. The grazing work of this day will be finished.
However, when it snows in winter, because wild wolves cannot catch small animals to eat, wild wolves will start attacking the ponies in the herd at night.
From this time on, the Wranglers need to keep guarding the horses until dawn every night to ensure that the horses can safely survive the cold winter and the invasion of wild wolves until the spring of melting ice and snow.
When spring comes, everything revives, and small animals such as rabbits and wild foxes have climbed out of the cave. When wild wolves have something to eat, they rarely attack the horses again.

As soon as Xu Lingjun walked to the front of the stable, a horse cries came from the stable.
He looked closely and saw a tall and handsome white horse standing in the stable with its head raised.
This...it should be the big green horse in the play!
He was a little curious about why this white-haired and black-maned horse was called the Big Blue Horse?
From the memory of his predecessor, he only knew that this horse was originally raised by Mr. Dong, but Mr. Dong was old this year and distributed the herds of horses he was responsible to other herders.
The big green horse is one of the stallions he received, which had just grown up.
Horses live about one-third of that of humans, and they can usually live to thirty-thirty-five years.
Compared with human age, a one-year-old horse is equivalent to the twelve years of human beings, and a two-year-old horse is equivalent to the 18 years of human beings. Subsequently, every year that increases by about three years of human beings.
Generally speaking, mares are usually mature at a age of 3 and a half to 5 years old. The first mating age is 3 years old and the weight reaches 90%. Stallions usually can not be formally bred until they are 4 years old.
Therefore, it will take a year before Daqingma can get married and have children.
However, this does not affect its handsome and elegant figure now.
Xu Lingjun smiled slightly, pushed open the wooden door of the stable and walked in, hugged the big green horse's head, scratched its neck, and then skillfully installed the saddle and stirrups.
Then he opened the stable door and drove the stallions out of the herd.
"Kick~Tap~"
The horses followed their heads out of the stable. He quickly turned back, pulled the reins, raised his foot and stepped on the stirrup and turned the horse onto the horse, and then threw the whip hard.
"Bang!"
“Yu ~”
