I build an oasis in the northwest

Chapter 21 Kazakh Shepherd Dog
Sitting in the driver's seat, opening the window and listening to the song, with the incoming wind, the body swayed rhythmically with the music, and when you heard the climax, you couldn't help but hum along.

The only regret is that at this wonderful moment, there is no beautiful woman by my side.

After driving for more than half an hour, at the corner, he saw a large piece of white moving on the road from a distance.

"sheep?"

With his pupils slightly opened, Chen Mu quickly stepped on the brakes and approached slowly.

A closer look revealed a flock of nearly a hundred sheep.

The sheep driver was a young man, looking seventeen or eighteen, wearing a white felt hat made of lamb's wool with black cuffs, a high-necked shirt with colorful embroidery on the collar, and a white felt hat on the lower body. Loose trousers with a belt around the waist and a pocket knife.

A traditional dress of a Kazakh man.

The young man was sweating profusely at the moment, waving the sheep rope in his hand and yelling to drive the flock of sheep down the road.

It's a pity that the flock just bleats and doesn't listen to the owner's instructions at all, which makes the young sheep driver bewildered and doesn't know what to do.

When the car came to a stop, Chen Mu curiously asked: "Duos, with so many sheep, why don't you get a shepherd dog?"

Dos means friend. Among the Kazakhs, it is a term used by young people of the same sex.

The sheepherding boy looked at Chen Mu and saw pure curiosity on his face, no malice. He felt a little more relaxed and smiled sheepishly.

He said: "There are shepherd dogs, but a few sheep left the flock just now. I asked the shepherd dogs to find those sheep."

After speaking, he glanced at the tightly blocked highway and quickly added: "I'll get the sheep off now."

As soon as I waved the sheep rope, the sheep did move.

It's just that the direction of movement is not quite right.

Before, I was walking on the road, but now I was walking in circles.

Got it!
As soon as he saw this situation, Chen Mu knew that he couldn't get over it until the shepherd dog came back.

I gave up waiting, got off the car, squatted next to the highway teeth, and waited for the sheepherder to fail.

Sure enough, not long after, the sheep-herding brother walked over with a blushing face in embarrassment.

"Doss, I guess you have to wait a while."

Chen Mu, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, nodded calmly: "It's okay."

However, Chen Mu felt a little strange looking at the youthful look of the herding brother when he was driving the sheep.

Most Kazakhs make a living from animal husbandry. Under the influence of their ears and eyes, even if they are only children, their herding skills should be good. How can this person's skills be so poor? !

Out of curiosity, Chen Mu asked his doubts.

"..." The sheep-herding brother was silent for a few seconds, his face full of lovelessness: "I was driven out of the market."

Chen Mu was dumbfounded.

Can you drive ducks to the shelves by doing things like grazing?
It wasn't until the sheepherder explained it that he understood.

The name of the sheep-herding boy is Bosen, which means hope in the Kazakh language.

After Bosen entered junior high school this year, he has never touched a sheep rope again, let alone herding.

His family's grassland is next to the Yusen Autonomous Region, but in recent years, the desertification in the Yusen Autonomous Region has become more and more serious. The wind and sand there are constantly blowing, and the environment has deteriorated seriously.

Under this influence, the grass source of his family's pasture has become less and less, and it is impossible to feed the family's cattle and sheep. In addition to grazing, he has to buy additional pasture for feeding, and the cost is getting higher and higher.

The grass roots in the pasture are almost eaten away by the sheep. If we don't change the location, the spring and summer pasture that still has a three-year lease term will be barren before the summer is over, let alone the rotational grazing in autumn and winter.

There is no way, although the spring grazing time has passed, the better pastures have also been booked.

However, for sustainable development, Akeye of Bosen still reserved a 100-acre pasture nearby for rotational grazing. He spends summer and autumn here, and then transfers the cattle and sheep to the winter pasture for the winter before winter.

This small group of one hundred sheep marched first, followed by a large army of more than 200 sheep and more than 200 cattle.

Bo Sen, a semi-novice, was arrested and sent here just after the college entrance examination.

During the chat, because the flock would move forward from time to time, Chen Mu and Bo Sen just walked and chatted with the flock.

It must have been a week since I was sent here, and this was the first time I could chat with someone for so long. The more Bosen talked, the happier he became, and his name for Chen Mu changed from Dos to Brother Chen Mu.

Suddenly, surprise appeared on his face, and he blew a whistle suddenly.

Chen Mu followed his gaze and looked over.

In the distance, I saw two huge, vigorous dogs with black backs and white chests, driving seven or eight sheep towards this side.

After running closer, the appearance of the big dog became clearer.

The ears of big dogs are short, especially the tail, which is only short. The dog’s head is flat, the teeth communicate, the mouth and jaw are strong, the limbs are thick, the claws are thick and powerful, the back hair is black, straight and thick, and the chest hair is soft. You can tell it at a glance. It's a good dog, a bad dog.

As soon as the sheepdog takes action, he will know if there is one.

In less than half a minute, the crowded sheep got off the road in an orderly manner and walked towards the distance.

At this time, a driver beside him who was waiting for the sheep to disperse suddenly interjected: "Is this a Tianshan mastiff, a Kazakh shepherd dog?"

He looked at the two dogs, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Look at this, you let the wolf bred the bitch? The blood is real!"

People in the world say that Bian Shepherd has strong herding ability, but compared with Kazakh Shepherd Dog, Bian Shepherd can only be regarded as average. Even Bian Shepherd can't compare in intelligence and IQ.

Kazakh Shepherd Dogs are capable, quiet, brave, loyal, high in IQ, and obedient.

In order to cultivate their fierceness, many herdsmen breed female dogs with wolves.

It is also because of this that Kazakh Shepherds are very fierce and have a strong sense of protecting their territory.

As long as this dog is around, strangers will never be able to enter the yard. What's worse, even strangers who pass by the door will be attacked by them.

However, due to various reasons, the pure-blooded Kazakh Shepherd Dog is on the verge of extinction. Last year, at the end of 09, it was included in the national list of protected breed resources.

"This dog is really well-raised!"

Hearing that, Bosen puffed out his chest proudly.

Among the seven wealth of the Kazakh people, the dog is the only animal.

They firmly believe: "People don't understand human nature, but dogs understand human nature", and they regard dogs as part of the family.

For Kazakhs, praising the dogs they raise is tantamount to praising themselves.

Next to the sheep, two Kazakh shepherd dogs had their ears erect. They kept looking left and right. Their bodies were slightly lowered and their front paws were working hard. They were obviously on guard.

That figure is so strong and handsome!
