Chapter 176: Chapter 176, Reindeer tribe, the elves in the forest
The platform for the live broadcast of bird fights was very attentive.
Now, Ning Fei was already a part of the live broadcast of bird fights, and the live broadcast of bird fights was a separate column for Ning Fei.
# Abbey Dean Ning’s journey to find the reindeer tribe in the great Xing ‘an mountains #
The reindeer tribe was one of the most mysterious tribes in China.
When the netizens turned on the live broadcast, they saw that Ning Fei was already riding black handsome and strolling in the forest.
“Dear viewers, we have reached the depths of the forest.”
“This forest is indeed the most magical treasure of nature. There are many rare beasts and rare wild fruits in it.”
As Ning Fei walked on the road, he explained to the netizens from time to time.
“We should be arriving soon.”
Ning Fei thought to himself.
“Now a part of the Ewenke tribe has been ‘converted’, which is closer to the lifestyle of the Mongolian herdsmen. There are Mongolian yurts on the outer grasslands, raising cattle and sheep, and even establishing the Ewenke City.”
“There are very few original Ewenke tribe members who are truly hunting and roaming.”
......
Ning Fei walked forward. His position was south of the Sea of trees. Walking South from this forest, he would return to the great prairie. Moreover, he could see the Ewenke tribe’s yurts and herdsmen.
“Where could it be?”
Ning Fei walked forward slowly in the forest.
“Whoosh! Deng!”
At this moment, he suddenly heard a shocking sound. It was the sound of an arrow being shot and the humming sound of an arrow piercing into a tree trunk!
“It’s Over There!”
Hearing this sound, Ning Fei’s expression became joyful. He immediately rode Black Commander and rushed over.
When he walked over, he saw a hare covered in brown fur. It had already been nailed to the tree trunk by an arrow.
“What amazing archery skills!”
After seeing the accuracy, Ning Fei exclaimed in surprise.
The netizens were also full of praise.
“An expert! He hit the hare with an arrow from such a long distance.”
“The Hare’s alertness is very high. Only experienced hunters can do this.”
“As expected of a hunter.”
“I want to see what the real person looks like.”
As the netizens were talking, the archer finally showed up.
In the live broadcast, a man wearing a thick coat with a black conical leather hat and a herdsman’s unique slanted lapel walked out from the depths of the forest.
There was also a shotgun hanging on his waist.
This man looked to be in his forties or fifties. His face was weather-beaten and there was a scar on the side of his face. He looked very wild.
When he saw Ning Fei, his expression changed slightly. He walked over to the hare and pulled out the arrow. Then, he put the hare into the leather bag hanging on his waist.
“Who are you?”The hunter asked in a heavy accent. He was not fluent in Huaxia.
The Ewenki tribe had a special Ewenki language, but most people could speak some Chinese now.
“Hello, I’m from the grassland,”Ning Fei said as he got down from the black commander.
“Be careful here. We’re hunting, and we might hurt you,”the Hunter said.
He looked at the black commander with envy.
The primitive Ewenke tribe was a nomadic hunting tribe. They domesticated reindeer as companions and totems, so they had deep feelings for animals that could be domesticated by humans.
“Okay,”ning fei replied gently, “Are you from the Ewenki tribe? Can I buy some rabbit meat?”
“Rabbit meat?”The Hunter was a little confused.
One had to know that although the traditional Ewenki tribe still lived a nomadic and hunting life, it did not mean that they were isolated from the world. They also had a lot of interactions with human society.
Naturally, they also needed money to improve their lives.
“Yes, you can buy rabbit meat and the meat of other wild beasts,”Ning Fei nodded and said.
Ning Fei chose a very smart approach.
If Ning Fei said, “I’m here to see the reindeer of the Ewenki,”the other party might not even pay attention to him, or even chase him out.
But things were different now.
“Come with me,”the Hunter said before leading Ning Fei into the depths of the forest.
When the netizens saw this scene, someone said,
“Abbey Dean Ning has a high eq. This way, he can easily enter the Ewenki tribe.”
“Socializing with people is an art.”
“Yeah, if Abbey Dean Ning wants to eat rabbit meat, he can just hunt by himself. Abbey Dean Ning’s archery skills are not bad.”
“Ewenke tribe, what will it be like?”
“Likewise, I’m looking forward to it!”
“This is one of the most mysterious tribes in China!”
Everyone was chatting excitedly.
Ning Fei took the opportunity to explain to the drone:
“Ewenke people are the only people in China who are allowed to hunt wild animals. They have hunting guns in their hands, and they are legal.”
“The official residence has prepared houses for the Ewenks on the plains outside. Most of the young people have already bid farewell to the life of hunters. The ones who stay behind to hunt and raise reindeer are mostly old people.”
“They really like reindeer.”
The two of them walked for a while and passed through the dense forest. Finally, they saw the real Ewenk tribe.
It was a flat land that had been reclaimed in the middle of the forest. It was surrounded by the forest, and in the middle of it were many spiked roofs made of wooden poles. Most of the spiked roofs were steaming hot.
“That’s called a scarecrow. It’s where the Ewenki people live.”
Ning Fei explained.
At this moment, Ning Fei suddenly heard a series of “Ding Ling Ling Ling”sounds. It sounded like the wind was blowing through a tree full of bells, and all the bells were gently shaking.
Ning Fei turned his head and looked over.
He finally saw the scene he had always wanted to see.
Not far away, a young Ewenki girl was leading a group of reindeer from the side of the tribe. Each reindeer had a small bell hanging on its chest. When the reindeer ran, the bell would ring.
The horns on the reindeer’s head were very large and of different shapes. They looked like branches that had spread out. Their huge bodies and calm temperament made them full of divinity. They looked like elves in the forest.
Seeing this scene, the netizens finally understood why the reindeer were so popular among the Ewenki people.
The reindeer looked sacred, especially with a bell around their necks. They looked more like animals from the immortal world.
The group of reindeer walked past Ning Fei.
Ning Fei held black commander’s hand and stood at the side, his expression full of joy.
He had come here just to take a look at the reindeer.
There were no other interests involved, no other thoughts.
The reindeer were the totem and religion of the Ewenki tribe. What he wanted to pursue was the totem that once symbolized Chinese culture.
After the netizens saw the reindeer, bullet messages were sent out in a dense stream.
“Look, it’s a reindeer!”
“This is a reindeer, it’s so beautiful!”
“It’s like a mythical beast.”
“This is the first time I’ve seen a reindeer in a live broadcast.”
“It seems that only the northeast forest has wild reindeer now, and such a large group of reindeer can only be seen in the Ewenke tribe.”
“The scenery here is really good.”
“What kind of world has Abbey Dean Ning experienced? Why do I feel like every place doesn’t exist?”
“He seems to be looking for a paradise that belongs to China. The places he passed by are all miracles of nature that are worth stopping and savoring.”
Miss Ewenke was behind the reindeer. When she saw Ning Fei, she communicated with the hunter in Ewenke in a low voice.
Ning Fei did not understand, but Ewenke was close to Mongolian. Ning Fei could roughly understand the words “Customer who buys meat.”.
“What kind of meat do you want?”After the girl drove the reindeer away, the hunter asked him.
“I want some rabbit meat and wild boar meat,”ning fei said directly, “What’s the price?”
“Money or useful tools, anything is fine.”
Ning Fei thought for a moment, then he took off his backpack and took out a dagger from it.
It was a very well-decorated dagger. It had a hilt and could be pulled out. It was very sharp. The price on the market was around 200-300 Yuan. The quality was very good.
Ning Fei had a special knife for exploration. This dagger was originally a spare and relatively heavy. It had always been a bit of a burden, so it was good to sell it.
“Is this dagger okay?”
When the hunter saw the dagger, his eyes lit up and he said, “Wait for me here. I’ll go find some meat for you.”
With that, he left in a hurry.
Looking at his back, Ning Fei sighed and said,
“The Ewenki are a very hospitable people. Like the Mongols, they welcome guests on the prairie. They also welcome guests with reindeer milk and wine.”
“But the hunters in the forest are not like this.”
“There was a time when the local government allowed the traditional Ewenki to migrate from the forest to the prairie and the countryside. They also took away their hunting guns.”
“Faced with the ‘better’lifestyle provided to them, the Ewenki were very sad. Some of them began to rely on alcohol to numb themselves
“The development of human society, from the caves to the forests, from the mountains to the grasslands, from the grasslands to the farms, and finally to the cities, every step was an attempt and a journey. It was a sign of the progress of modern civilization
“However, most of the time, we always think of our farewells as too simple, and that is why we believe that there is nothing in this world that truly haunts us
“In the self-narration of Maria Soo, a very famous chief of the Ewenki tribe, she said: ‘when I think of the Ewenki people not having shotguns or places to put reindeer, I feel like crying, even in my dreams.’
“These people’s feelings for the forest and reindeer are very deep
“Fortunately, there are still a small number of Ewenki people who live according to their own ways and are protected by the law.”
Not long after, the hunter ran back. He was holding two pieces of meat. One was rabbit meat, and the other was wild boar meat.
There was a lot of meat. If it was sold in the market, it would cost at least 600-700 yuan.
“Is this enough?”The Hunter asked Ning Fei, his eyes occasionally looking at the dagger.
Ning Fei handed the dagger to him, nodded, and said, “It’s too much.”
As he spoke, Ning Fei took out some money from the interlayer of his backpack. It was about 400 yuan, and he gave it to the hunter.
Although it was all paid with mobile phones now, this was definitely the most primitive method of payment.
After the transaction was completed, Ning Fei picked up the two pieces of meat and looked into the distance:
“I ate meat today at noon!”
