In the early spring of the second year after the disappearance of Allen Wolf, the Corps ordered to reduce the number of prairie dogs to save valuable beef and mutton and supply agricultural groups without oil and water. The puppy is the first to suffer this misfortune. Almost all newborn puppies on the grassland were thrown into Tengger. Bitches can be heard everywhere on the Oroqen grassland, and they can also be seen digging out puppies that have been quietly buried by their owners and carrying dead puppies in circles. Grassland women cry bitterly, while men cry silently. Groundhogs and hounds are getting thinner day by day.
Six months later, when Jiro was far away from the yurt and in a daze in the grass, he was shot and killed by a man on the truck of a corps soldier and dragged away. Stark Chan, Yang Ke, Zhang Jiyuan and Gao Jianzhong rushed to the regimental headquarters and two company headquarters, but failed to find the murderer. All Imakiayahito formed a united front on eating dog meat, hiding the murderer like a hero hunted by different races.
Four years later, in the early morning when the white-haired wind was raging, an old man and a mature man rode horses and carried the body of Bi Lige's old man in an ox cart to the frontier highway. Two of the three celestial burial sites of the brigade have been abandoned, and some herders have been buried in China after their death. Only old Bilig insisted on going where there might be wolves. His will is for his two distant brothers to send him to the no-man's land north of the border road.
According to the old man's brother, that night, on the north side of the border highway, the wolf howled all night and howled until dawn.
Stark Chan, Yang Ke and Zhang Jiyuan all think that ABBA Biliger is a miserable and lucky old man. Because he was the last Mongolian old man buried in the grassland and returned to Tengger. Since then, the coyote has never returned to the Oroqen grassland.
Soon, Stark Chan, Yang Ke and Gao Jianzhong were successively transferred to the company. Yang is a primary school teacher, Gao Jianzhong drives a tractor in the maintenance team, and Stark Chan is a warehouse keeper. Only Zhang Jiyuan was left as a stable by herders. Ile and his children were left to Batu and Gasmai, but loyal Huang Huang abandoned his wife and children and followed Stark Chan to the company. But as long as Gasmai's ox cart and dog arrive at the company, Huang Huang will have fun with his wife and children. Every time the car leaves, it will follow the car back to the herding team. It will take many days for a person to run back to Stark Chan. No matter how far the herding team goes, even if it is more than a hundred miles, it will come back. But every time I come back, I feel depressed. Stark Chan was worried that Huang Huang had an accident on the way, but when he saw that he could come back safely every time, he was careless. He couldn't bear to deprive Huang Huang of the freedom and happiness of visiting relatives and friends and visiting grasslands. However, a year later, Huang Huang is still "lost". Prairie people know that prairie dogs don't get lost or fall into wolves' mouths. Allen Wolf has disappeared. Even if wolves are still alive, there has never been a precedent for wolves to kill solitary dogs on the grassland. Only those who killed Huang Huang halfway, those are not prairie people. ...
Stark Chan and Yang Ke returned to the circle of Han people and lived a stable life of pure Chinese style. Most of them are demobilized soldiers from the mainland and their families, as well as educated youth soldiers from Tianjin and Tangshan. However, they can never really return to the life of China people emotionally. After work and self-study, the two often climb to the top of the mountain near the company and look at Tengger in the northwest for a long time, looking for the faces and figures of Little Wolf and Abba Biliger in the dazzling and towering clouds. ...
1975, Inner Mongolia Production and Construction Corps was officially dissolved. However, the Majuzi River basin with abundant aquatic plants has long been reclaimed into large sandy land. Houses, machines, cars, tractors, and most of the workers, their ideas and lifestyles, remain on the grassland. Erlun grassland is being degraded year by year. If you hear that a Mongolian yurt was killed by a wolf, you will be told for several days, but when you hear that a horseshoe fell into a mouse hole, the number of injured people gradually increased.
A few years later, Stark Chan borrowed a horse to bid farewell to Batu and Gasmai's family before returning to Beijing to apply for postgraduate studies, and then went to see the century-old cave where Little Wolf was born. This ancient cave is still deep and strong. A spider web has been formed half a foot in the cave, and two slender green grasshoppers are struggling on the web. Stark Chan pulled open the grass probe and looked into the hole. The mouth of the cave overflowed with an earthy smell, and the original thick choking smell of wolves had long since disappeared. In front of the old cave, the platform where seven puppies used to play and bask in the sun was covered with tall grass ... Stark Chan sat by the cave for a long time, without dogs, hounds or even a puppy.
In the summer of the 30th anniversary of Beijing educated youth set foot on Oroqen grassland, Stark Chan and Yankee left Beijing in a blue Cherokee for Oroqen grassland.
After graduating from the Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Stark Chan has been engaged in the research of national conditions and system reform in the research institute of a university. After obtaining the bachelor's degree in law, Yang Ke obtained the master's degree and lawyer's qualification. At this time, he was the founder of a prestigious law firm in Beijing. These two 500-year-old friends have always missed the grassland, but they are afraid to go back there. However, their 30th anniversary "life experience" made them determined to return to Oroqen grassland. They will go to the grassland to visit relatives and friends, go to the "Wuzhumuqin Prairie" that they dare not see again, and go to the old cave dwelling of Little Wolf at the foot of Blackstone Mountain. Stark Chan also wants to go to the grassland to feel and verify the arguments in his academic manuscript.
As soon as the jeep entered Inner Mongolia, it was still blue. However, only people who have lived in the grassland for a long time know that Tengger is not the original Tengger, and the sky is dry and cloudless. Tengger on the grassland has almost become Tengger on the sand. Under the dry and hot sky, there is no dense grass, and between the sparse and dry yellow sand and the grass is a large piece of hardened sand, like huge coarse sandpaper. On the way of dry sand and half-mask, the iron cage truck pulling cattle and sheep rolled up yellow dust and headed for Shanhaiguan Pass. There were almost no yurts, a group of horses and a group of cows along the way. Occasionally I see a flock of sheep, dirty and messy, thin and small, even worse than the sheep from the forehead grassland ... they almost give up the desire to move on. Both of them are reluctant to part with the wet and green grassland beauty film in their hearts, which was washed away by dry dust and worn out by "sandpaper".
Yang Ke stopped by the roadside, patted the dry dust on his body, and said to Stark Chan: I was too busy in the first ten years to go back to the grassland. In the past two years, the people below me can be independent, which makes room. To tell the truth, I am still afraid to see the grassland in my heart. Zhang Jiyuan went back to Oroqen this spring, and he told me a lot about grassland desertification. I have been mentally prepared for such a long time, but I didn't expect the degree of grassland desertification to exceed my imagination.
Stark Chan patted the steering wheel and said, Let me drive ... Dad has only been gone for more than 20 years, and we have witnessed the consequences of his prediction. We really want to go back to Ellen grassland to worship him. Moreover, if you don't go back and have a look, the wolf's hole may really be filled with sand. The old cave dwelling is the only relic left in the world by the prairie wolf who ruled the grassland for thousands of years.
Yang Ke said: The century-old cave is the strongest cave. It will not collapse for hundreds of years, and there is no guarantee that it will collapse for more than 20 years. This old hole is so deep that it won't be filled by sandstorms for a hundred years.
Stark Chan said: I miss Uligi, too. I really want to see him again and ask him about wolf science and grassland science. Unfortunately, his heart is broken for the grassland. After retirement, he left the grassland and went to live in his daughter's house in the city to recuperate. There is no scientific and democratic competitive talent selection mechanism in China, and honest and clean talents are always under pressure. This rare wolf expert and grassland expert in China has been completely buried. In my opinion, institutional yellow sand is more terrible than grassland yellow sand, and it is one of the real sources of grassland sandstorm.
The jeep traveled for more than 1000 kilometers in the hot wind of dry dust, and it was not until its arms were tanned purple that it approached the Oroqen grassland. The next day, Jeep entered Allen Town. After all, Oroqen Grassland is the dead corner and boundary of Wuzhumuqin Grassland, and they finally saw the sparse grassland. Alan is still green, but you can't look down. As soon as you bow your head, the grassland is crystal clear and you can see the dust and gravel on the ground. In the past, the dense grassland was covered with humus from old grass, sheep manure, horse manure, and even mushrooms with gray heads as slender as bean sprouts. In the midsummer of grassland, Stark Chan actually remembered an ancient poem describing the early spring of grassland. He sang bitterly: "The grass looks close, but there is nothing."
Two people's hearts hung up. They know that going further is a thousand-year-old river, knee-deep and even close to the horse's belly. Once upon a time, only large trucks could wade across the river, and military jeeps could only flush across the river by inertia and full horsepower. In the rainy season of grassland, this river can often cut off the pasture from mail, food and department stores for half a month or even a month. Stark Chan and Yang Ke are discussing how to cross the river, but "Cherokee" has reached the river bank, and they both keep their mouths shut when they bow their heads. The old river, which was still flowing fast when it left the grassland, has now reached the bottom of the river, leaving only a piece of wet river sand, dried gravel on the surface of the water and a few tiny currents like earthworms. The jeep crossed the river easily, but their hearts became heavier.
Soon after crossing the river, they seemed to enter the grassland battlefield, and the vast Oroqen nationality was full of cement piles and barbed wire. The jeep is actually driving in a passage blocked by barbed wire. Stark Chan carefully observed the barbed wire and found that each piece of grass surrounded by barbed wire was about several hundred acres. The grass inside is much higher than the grass outside the pen, but it is still sparse, and the sand under the grass can be seen. Yang Ke said: This is the so-called "grass coulomb". After the pasture and livestock in the pastoral area were contracted to households, each household set aside a pasture for picking mutton, which did not move in summer, autumn and winter. Stark Chan said: How can this grass be enough? Yang Ke said: I heard that in recent years, herders began to reduce their livestock, and some families have reduced their livestock by half.
Passing by several grass cullens, the two found that there were three or four red brick tile houses and sheep sheds in the middle of each grass cullen. But in this season, no one lives in the house, there is no smoke in the chimney, and there are no dogs and calves in front of the door. Herdsmen may have driven their cattle to the uninhabited grasslands in the mountains. Stark Chan looked at the layers of barbed wire on the grassland and sighed with emotion: Who dares to build barbed wire on this grassland rich in Mongolia's most famous Ujimuqinma? At night, isn't that a trip to strangle Mahler's injury? But now, the Mongolian horse that once shocked the world has finally been driven out of the Mongolian grassland. It is said that most herders ride motorcycles to herd sheep, which is also advertised on TV as a symbol of the rich life of herders. In fact, there is not so much grass on the grassland to raise horses. After the wolf left, it was a horse, and after the horse left, it was a cow and a sheep. People on horseback have become motorcyclists, and they may become people with ecological difficulties in the future ... We finally saw the "great victory" of farming civilization over nomadic civilization. Now that politics has developed to "one country, two systems", the Han people still cling to "multi-district, one system" in their minds, regardless of agricultural and pastoral areas, forest and fishing areas, urban and rural areas, they are all stewed in a pot and concocted into a "unified" flavor. There was a huge financial subsidy after Victory, but even if it was labeled as 100, the loss of grassland could not be compensated.
The two men drove along the dirt road to the original company headquarters. They were eager to meet the herdsmen and the people. However, turning around the familiar mountain ridge, it turns out that the company's position is actually a yellow sand grassland, with rats scurrying around like snakes, and the dry sand pulled out by rats scattered one by one. The original rows of brick houses and adobe houses have not been left. Stark Chan drove around the once noisy company, but he didn't even hit the wall, but was trapped in the collapsed mouse nest several times. Two people have been away from here for 20 years, but all the remains are covered up so cleanly by a layer of yellow sand every year.
Stark Chan sighed: It is king to have no wolves and rats in the grassland. Dig deep pits to accumulate grain. Who says rats are not dominant? Although China people also say that "when a mouse crosses the street, everyone shouts". But subconsciously, it respects the rat nature, taking the zodiac mouse as the head. How similar are descendants and people, and the consciousness of small farmers lies in vision, fertility, self-cultivation and stubbornness.
The Yankees replaced Stark Chan again, and he drove frantically to the nearest hill. Finally, I found some cows and some smoking houses in the north, but I still didn't find yurts. Yang Ke immediately drove to the nearest kitchen to smoke and galloped away. Just out of a dozen miles, a long string of yellow dust suddenly rolled up on the dirt road in the distance. Stark Chan wishes he were a fast horse of the groom. When I drove near, I found it was a shiny Yamaha motorcycle. A Mongolian boy of fifteen or sixteen, wearing a jacket and a baseball cap, suddenly turned around and stopped at the jeep. Stark Chan was surprised to find that the teenager was carrying a small-caliber rifle on his shoulder, and an eagle was hanging next to the back seat of the motorcycle, dripping with blood. Stark Chan's eyes immediately flashed out the eyes of the old dad when he first saw the gun. He didn't expect that Mongolian children also had this kind of weapon, and it was still used in more advanced imported two-turbine engines.
There are too many, I can't post them! In the website!
