War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 792 Go to the Rescue Station
In the evening, there were two more large yurts on the Maya family’s ranch. On the edge of the campfire, whether it was Wei Ran and others, the hunter helpers from Inta, or the members of the anti-poaching organization, they were all there. Singing and dancing to the music, eating meat and drinking, no one cared whether they spoke Russian, Kazakh or Chinese that only a few people could understand.

Of course, the few people who are more concerned about language issues probably don’t have the heart to think about these things at this time. They are busy digging deep into the warm underground during the cold winter nights to dig coal that can provide warmth for the herdsmen on the surface. .

Of course, here, no one cares whether they speak Russian, Kazakh, or the obscure Rabbit Riding Language. Anyway, if they fail to complete the daily KPIs, not only will they not want to fill their stomachs, but they will also be whipped.

So you see, the existence of small coal mines is still necessary. After some dirt is really sent into these dirty places, it will instantly make people feel sunny and full of meaning.

In the pasture on the edge of the reserve, Jima finally changed his name to Maya's parents as uncle and aunt under Maya's awareness of physics and ruthlessness.

As for Maya's two elder brothers, the two older sisters and even the two brother-in-laws who came over, they unanimously urged Jima to call her parents again.

Just by looking at the expressions on their faces, the purpose of doing this is obviously to see Maya's jokes.

"Why would I agree to take this bastard home in the first place?"

Maya sighed weakly, picked up a wooden bowl full of kumiss, touched Sui Sui and sister Katenka, and then drank it all.

"Yes hicc—!"

Sui Sui belched indistinctly, and asked while waving his palms to drive away the smell of alcohol, "Yeah, what did you think at that time?"

"I made a bet with Jima." Maya spread her hands helplessly, "I lost."

"What did you bet on?" the curious Katenka sisters asked in unison.

Maya also hiccupped, "We stayed longer in the hot spring pool than anyone else, and I lost, and he kicked me out by farting in the hot spring pool! And, hiccup—! That bastard actually said If I don't go out, he will pee in the hot spring pool!"

"puff!"

Maya, who obviously drank too much, didn't finish her sentence. Whether it was sister Katenka or Sui Sui, Wei Ran who was eavesdropping, and Maya's brothers all almost spit out the wine from their mouths. Jima looked proud, and Maya's father and her two older brothers even gave thumbs up, obviously liking this scumbag's shamelessness very much.

"Good boy, you did a great job on this!"

Uncle Suo Silan, who was also drunk, grabbed Ji Ma's neck, "Tomorrow! Tomorrow, I will teach you how to ride a horse! I will teach you how to play the sheep game!"

"Uncle Soslander"

"Call Dad!" Uncle Suo Silan raised the wine bottle and touched Jima in dissatisfaction, "There is no need for such a relationship between us brothers!"

Jima glanced at Maya provocatively, and called "Dad" affectionately in a cute tone that would disgust most people to death.

"I'm disgusted." Sui Sui grinned and put down the wooden bowl containing kumiss.

“Really Disgusting”

Wei Ran glanced at the helpless Maya, dumbfounded, and then exchanged glances with Sui Sui, then understood the same sentence that the other party hadn't said—but it was very effective.

The meal lasted from dusk to eight o'clock in the evening, and members of the Intalai hunters and the anti-poaching organization took a truck back to the rescue station a few kilometers away to rest.

Wei Ran, Jima, and Maya's older brothers and brother-in-law lived in the Datong shop in the same yurt, and sisters Suisui and Kajianka were also led into the same yurt by Maya and her two older sisters.

Amidst the constant snoring, the night passed.In the early morning of the next day, several alarm clocks that sounded at almost the same time also woke up all the men in the yurt.

There was no time for breakfast, so Maya's two sisters and brother-in-law left by car. Some of them had to go back to work in the city, and some had to go to the hospital to take care of Maya's two brothers who were still in the hospital. Naturally, they were not as leisurely as others.

After breakfast, Maya's elder brother Anton also drove the car, joined several trucks that came and left in a hurry.

He also has other things to do, because of the problems in the protected area these days, their anti-poaching patrols have been interrupted for a long time, and now they can just attack suddenly and catch them off guard.

"Children, do you want to go to the rescue station?"

Soslan asked Chao Weiran, who was smiling, and Sui Sui and Katenka, who had just put on Kazakh national costumes, and asked, Quan pretended not to see that his youngest daughter was warning Jima something in a low voice.

"Of course I'm going to see it!"

Sui Sui responded without thinking, "Uncle Soslan, can we go on horseback?"

"of course can!"

After Soslan finished speaking, he blew a loud hooligan whistle, and a moment later, Maya's youngest brother, Biran, also led a few horses and came out of the shed with colored steel tiles.

"These horses are docile mares." Biran explained with a smile, "Even if you ride on them and do nothing, they will take you to the aid station."

"Can I ride this one?" Sui Sui asked, pointing to a white horse.

"Of course" Maya, her brother and their father replied in unison.

Hearing this, Sui Sui subconsciously looked at Wei Ran, she knew that the latter could ride a horse.

"I'll help you get here"

While speaking, Wei Ran walked to the side of the white horse, stretched out his hand and gently scratched its neck, and easily led it to Suisui's side.

"Victor, you seem to know how to ride a horse?" Biran was the first to ask.

"Indeed," Wei Ran said, and had already helped Sui Sui onto the horse.

"You really know how to ride a horse?" Ji Ma asked incredulously, "How can you ride a horse?"

"I'm a historian, isn't it normal to know how to ride a horse?" Wei Ran deliberately made an excuse that didn't make any sense.

"Which idiot stipulated that historians must be able to ride horses?"

Ji Ma rolled his eyes, and cautiously approached a group of maroon mares, tentatively wanting to touch its thick lips, but unfortunately, his trembling movements made the mare nervous too.If Maya hadn't pulled him in time, his hand would probably have been bitten.

At the same time, Wei Ran also noticed that the Katenka sisters were staring at the two gray horses standing side by side in a daze.

Seeing this, he lightly touched the bridge of the nose of the white horse that Suisui was riding, went to the horse herd and led the two gray horses to Sister Katenka's side.

"Do you need me to help you up?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.

The two sisters looked at each other and nodded in unison, and they chose the one who got on the horse first with a tacit understanding.

Helping the two sisters to ride on horseback one by one, Wei Ran unexpectedly discovered that the twin girls raised by KGB, apart from their poor cooking skills, seemed to have a natural fear of horses and a contradictory love for them.

Although the two girls did not dare to move while riding on the horse, they kept stroking the horse's mane.

"You seem to like horses very much?" Sui Sui, who was also riding on a horse, asked curiously, and at the same time tried to touch the ears of the white horse under her buttocks.

"When we were young, my mother took us to England to watch a horse race." Anfeya was the first to say.

"We bet all our pocket money on a gray horse," Anfisa continued, "and then we won the pocket money that we need to save for a whole year."

"That was the first time we won money at a horse race," Anfeya chased after him. "Of course, it's also the last time."

"We haven't watched a horse race since then," Anfisa added regretfully.

"I'll take you guys to gamble on the horses when I have a chance in the future!" Sui Sui clenched her fists and made a promise.

At the same time, with the help of Maya, Ji Ma climbed onto the back of the maroon mare clumsily.

In contrast, Wei Ran is much more proficient. Although the last time he rode a horse was on the farm of Gorman's American son, fortunately, the metal book is a good teacher with both virtue and skill, so he taught him horse riding skills. Does not seem to pick the nationality of the horse.

Seeing that everyone was already on the horse, Maya, her brother Biran and their father Soslan got on the horse one after another.And they tacitly held the reins of the horses that the Katenka sisters and the quarter horses were riding.

Under the yelling of Uncle Soslan, the horses left the pasture one after another.Slowly walked towards the rescue station a few kilometers away.

Speaking of it, riding a horse in this cold winter is really not a comfortable choice, but regardless of Sui Sui, sister Katenka, and even Ji Ma are extremely excited, so those slight chills are naturally completely ignored.

Along the way, Uncle Suo Silan, who is over half a century old, also from time to time demonstrated all kinds of thrilling moves for quarter horses who apparently wanted to learn how to ride a horse and play sheep.

"Can you do it?" Sui Sui asked with some anticipation to Wei Ran who was helping her hold the rein.

"can't do it"

Wei Ran, who was also riding on horseback, rolled his eyes. This little girl asked this question several times along the way, but he didn't know if he could do it. It is necessary to show off.

"Cut! Be stingy"

Sui Sui also rolled her eyes, turned her head and discussed again with Sister Katenka, who was already trying to hold the rein by herself, whether mutton or horse meat was better.

Chatting along the way, everyone walked confidently for more than an hour before arriving at the rescue station.

From a long distance, everyone saw a large space surrounded by barbed wire fences, as well as saiga antelopes, foxes and even wild wolves wandering leisurely in it.

However, when they got closer, they discovered that some of these animals had a lame leg, some were blind in one eye, and some even lost their beautiful big tails.

In addition, they could see more clearly that in a house shaped like a chicken farm, proud golden eagles or peregrine falcons were screaming in their respective cages.

Without exception, these favored children who were supposed to soar high in the sky had bloodstains and traces of anti-inflammatory potion on their eyelids, and some even had their wings cut off.

At the door of the room, there were two girls in white coats standing at the rear of the container truck that Wei Ran and Ji Ma had seen, carefully helping a golden eagle clean up the thin thread that sewed its eyelids, and the Glue the wings!

"It's not enough for those poaching bastards to die ten thousand times." Biran, who was the first to jump off the horse, sighed angrily, his overly young face was already full of helplessness and distress.
